SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Friday Night AI
DESCRIPTION:For millennia\, humans have been fascinated by the sounds and signals of the animal kingdom. Researchers in biology and environmental science have made significant progress in studying animal communication\, revealing complex vocal patterns and their roles in social interactions\, navigation\, and survival. Recently\, AI has started to complement this work by analyzing vast datasets\, identifying patterns\, and offering new perspectives on vocalizations—from decoding the meaning behind dog barks and primate calls to analyzing whale songs and bird communication. How much can AI truly reveal about animal communication? What are its current capabilities and limitations? Join us for a discussion with AI researchers and animal communication experts as we explore the latest advances in this space. \n\nWhen: March 14\, 6:30pm – 7:30pm\nWhere: AADL Ann Arbor downtown\, 4th Floor Meeting Room (343 S 5th Ave\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48104)\nWith interactive activities developed by graduate student Yara El-Tawil and Snehal Prabhudesai\n\nAbout the speakers:\n\nThore Bergman is a Professor of Psychology and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan. He is interested in how primates use communication and cognition to navigate the social world. Thore studies wild primates because he is interested in both the causes of behavioral variation (what makes one animal respond a certain way while a different animal does something else?) and the consequences of behavior (how does the behavior affect their survival and reproduction?). Thore’s main study subjects are capuchin monkeys in Costa Rica and geladas in Ethiopia.\n\nArtem Abzaliev is a PhD student working on Multimodal Machine Learning/AI with a particular interest in analyzing and understanding Animal Communication with AI models. His research studied dog and bird vocalizations. He is also a dog lover!\n\nÁlvaro Vega-Hidalgo is a PhD student whose work focuses on computational approaches to studying animal communication and enhancing wildlife conservation through community-centered design. His research is driven by the intrinsic value of wildlife-human coexistence and fundamental questions about the evolution of language. Before joining UMich\, he worked at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, where he helped scaling AI systems across continents to monitor birds globally with the help of citizen science. He also contributed to Biometrio.earth\, a German company focused on Carbon Credit Transparency using AI.\n\nModerator: Rada Mihalcea is the Janice M. Jenkins Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan and the Director of the Michigan Artificial Intelligence Lab. Her research interests are in natural language processing\, with a focus on multimodal processing and computational social sciences. She is an ACM Fellow\, a AAAI Fellow\, and served as ACL President (2018-2022 Vice/Past). She is the recipient of a Sarah Goddard Power award (2019) for her contributions to diversity in science\, and the recipient of a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers awarded by President Obama (2009).

SUMMARY:Performance:Intro to Puppetry presents \"Biki's Marvelous Migration\"
DESCRIPTION:Students from THTREMUS 285: Intro to Puppetry will create 5 short puppet shows on the theme of migration\, to be performed in various locations around North Campus. Each team will also develop a soundscape for each location that will be live broadcast via QR code in real time (like a silent disco)\, so bring some headphones!\n\nViewers can attend the shows in any order. The migratory pattern is circular\, dynamic\, even recursive. This reflects the theme: migration is less a predictable\, orderly flow than a complex process subject to social\, political\, environmental and other pressures.\n\nMeet Biki outside and around the Walgreen Drama Center. Then follow Biki's adventures to the Moore building and beyond.\n\nFree and open to the public\, rain or shine!

SUMMARY:Performance:Shamel Pitts | TRIBE
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 2019 by American choreographer and performer Shamel Pitts\, an alumnus of Batsheva Dance Company\, TRIBE is an arts collective composed of international and local artists working across mediums to create a platform for artists of color.\n\nThe collective’s work is inspired by the Afrofuturism movement\, which strives to tell new stories and create a brighter future that is different\, and shines more luminously\, from its past. In BLACK HOLE\, three Black dancers share the stage in a narrative of unity\, vigor\, and unrelenting advancement. Their journey originates in the darkness of the titular Black Hole\, understood not as a cosmic void but a metaphorical place of transformation and potential. Engulfed in an evocative soundscape of original music\, sound samples\, and spoken word\, the dancers embark on an hour-long\, uninterrupted journey in movement\, in which their tenacity and grace are emphasized by cinematic video projections and stark\, monochromatic lights. “Another person challenging the traditional views on Black masculinity is Shamel Pitts\, one of the most acclaimed dancers/choreographers of his generation and a shining example of Black excellence.” (Afropunk)

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Discover and Reflect: Museum Series
DESCRIPTION:About the Discover and Reflect: Museum Series The University of Michigan's theme year of Democracy\, Civic Empowerment\, and Global Engagement\, highlights the vital role of community in sustaining democracy. A core part of democracy is deepening our understanding of both our own history and culture\, as well as those of the people around us. To foster these connections\, the UMSI DEI Office\, UMSI Student Life\, and the Race+Tech group are organizing a series of field trips\, titled Discover and Reflect: Museum Series\, which will take us to local museums that bring these stories to life. \nDiscover and Reflect: Museum Series seeks to educate students on the varied\, complex\, and inspiring cultures that make up our diverse community. These trips also underscore the importance of archives and libraries\, which are integral to both our curriculum and the preservation of diverse histories. Stay tuned for future museum trips!

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:enemies + entities
DESCRIPTION:enemies + entities\; one of the most ironic sentences in life. With that irony in mind\, enemies + entities is an exhibition built to propose a question to the current generation regarding how media and interactive experiences are having both positive and negative impacts on each other\; in other words\, becoming each others’ enemies and entities. This exhibition discusses the question of whether or not enemies and entities can co-exist within a single concept or object through the lens of media\, ranging from film\, music\, video\, installations\, and digital media.\n\nOpen Hours:\nMarch 14\, 4 - 9pm\nMarch 15\, 11am - 5pm\nMarch 16\, 11am - 4pm\n\nPresented by Eva Choi (@drmnchld)\, BFA student in Performing Arts Technology\, with support from U-M ArtsEngine.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Pianist HieYon Choi
DESCRIPTION:Guest artist Hie-Yon Choi\, Professor at the Peabody Conservatory of Music\, will present a master class for University of Michigan piano students. Free and open to the public.\n\nOne of the most sought-after pianists of her generation\, South Korean pianist HIEYON CHOI first appeared on the international piano music scene when she won prizes at high-profile competitions such as Kapell\, Epinal\, Busoni and Viotti. HieYon Choi has been since performing with prestigious orchestras of Europe\, US and Korea such as das Rundfunkorchester Berlin\, the National Symphony Orchestra (Washington DC)\, the Northern Sinfonia\, the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and the Korean Broadcast Symphony Orchestra and appears as a soloist in festivals and concert series.\n\nA milestone of Choi’s performing career was the four-year long cycle of all 32 Beethoven piano sonatas at the Kumho Art Hall in Seoul. For this series she received the Arts Award of the year 2005 by the Korean Arts & Cultural Association. Later she completed another Beethoven cycle with all piano trios\, violin sonatas and works for cello and piano. Her second cycle of all Beethoven piano sonatas took place in various venues in Korea\, Germany and the US until 2018. Choi‘s other series of performances include ones that explored Brahms and his associates and that of French school.

Despite not having enough money to buy even a pair of running shoes\, the Korean marathon runners embark on an unforgettable journey to Boston\, USA.\n\nDirected by Kang Jekyu\nPresented in Korean and English with English Subtitles\n\nThe Korean Cinema NOW 2025 series features critical picks of recent Korean film hits.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Connecting Across Diaspora: Black Identity and Experiences in Global Public Health Research and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Our 38th Annual Health Equity Conference\, “Connecting Across Diaspora: Black Identity and Experiences in Global Public Health Research and Practice\,” will be held at the Michigan League on Saturday\, March 15\, 2025. This conference aims to explore the intersections of Black racial identity\, belonging\, and cultural humility in community-based work within the context of global public health research and practice. It will focus on understanding how Black researchers—across the Black diaspora—engage with and collaborate with Black populations both in their home countries and abroad. As the field of public health becomes increasingly interconnected\, Black public health researchers and practitioners face unique challenges and opportunities as they navigate the cultural\, social\, and political complexities of engaging with diverse Black communities. This conference will provide a platform for critical discussions and reflections on how concepts of belonging\, cultural humility\, and racial solidarity manifest in global public health research and practice\, and how these dynamics shape the experiences of Black researchers and community members worldwide.\n\nAgenda9:00 AM - 9:15 AM -- Opening Remarks & Welcome Address9:15 AM - 10:15 AM -- Keynote Speaker/ Question & Answer Session10:15 AM - 10:45 AM -- Morning Break & Networking11:00 AM - 12:00 PM -- Lighting talks12:00 PM - 1:00 PM -- Lunch & Networking1:15 PM - 2:15 PM -- Panel (Q&A style)2:20 PM - 3:20 PM -- Reflective & Positionality Workshop3:20 PM-3:30 PM -- Closing Remarks\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Intro to Puppetry presents \"Biki's Marvelous Migration\"
DESCRIPTION:Students from THTREMUS 285: Intro to Puppetry will create 5 short puppet shows on the theme of migration\, to be performed in various locations around North Campus. Each team will also develop a soundscape for each location that will be live broadcast via QR code in real time (like a silent disco)\, so bring some headphones!\n\nViewers can attend the shows in any order. The migratory pattern is circular\, dynamic\, even recursive. This reflects the theme: migration is less a predictable\, orderly flow than a complex process subject to social\, political\, environmental and other pressures.\n\nMeet Biki outside and around the Walgreen Drama Center. Then follow Biki's adventures to the Moore building and beyond.\n\nFree and open to the public\, rain or shine!

SUMMARY:Performance:Shamel Pitts | TRIBE
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 2019 by American choreographer and performer Shamel Pitts\, an alumnus of Batsheva Dance Company\, TRIBE is an arts collective composed of international and local artists working across mediums to create a platform for artists of color.\n\nThe collective’s work is inspired by the Afrofuturism movement\, which strives to tell new stories and create a brighter future that is different\, and shines more luminously\, from its past. In BLACK HOLE\, three Black dancers share the stage in a narrative of unity\, vigor\, and unrelenting advancement. Their journey originates in the darkness of the titular Black Hole\, understood not as a cosmic void but a metaphorical place of transformation and potential. Engulfed in an evocative soundscape of original music\, sound samples\, and spoken word\, the dancers embark on an hour-long\, uninterrupted journey in movement\, in which their tenacity and grace are emphasized by cinematic video projections and stark\, monochromatic lights. “Another person challenging the traditional views on Black masculinity is Shamel Pitts\, one of the most acclaimed dancers/choreographers of his generation and a shining example of Black excellence.” (Afropunk)

SUMMARY:Performance:The Steel Wheels
DESCRIPTION:New Blue Ridge acoustic Americana with old-time flavors\n\nThe Steel Wheels have long been at home in the creative space between tradition and innovation\, informed by the familiar sounds of the Virginia mountains where the band was formed\, but always moving forward with insightful lyrics and an evolving sound. In 2005\, Jay Lapp (vocals\, guitars\, mandolin) and Eric Brubaker (vocals\, fiddle) joined lead singer Trent Wagler (guitar\, banjo) in forming the band as a vehicle for Wagler’s songwriting. They released several albums under Wagler’s moniker\, before officially adopting the The Steel Wheels name with the 2010 release of Red Wing. Quickly staking their claim as independent upstarts in the burgeoning Americana scene\, The Steel Wheels followed up this release with three more self-produced albums in the next five years\, before joining forces with producer Sam Kassirer for Wild As We Came Here (2017) and Over The Trees (2019). Kevin Garcia (drums\, percussion\, keys) joined in 2017\, bringing a new level of sonic depth and polish to the outfit. Newest member Jeremy Darrow rounds out the rhythm section and grounds the band as they continue to explore deeply rooted yet fresh folk rock sounds.\n\nHaving gained the experience of thousands of shows\, festivals and many miles on the road\, the stubbornly independent band has formed deep bonds with each other and the audience that sustains them. Whether at a joyous summer festival\, in their many shows across the country and beyond\, or in the studio\, The Steel Wheels continue their mission set out over a decade ago\; shaking up traditions to see what sticks\, telling stories\, and joining communities through song.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Billy King
DESCRIPTION:As a seasoned performer\, songwriter\, and recording artist\, Billy King's presence in the independent music scene brings an original blend of rootsy folk/pop with an occasional touch of country swing.\n\nIn the early 1990s\, Billy led his two-member band\, the preteen King Brothers\, to local fame in the Ann Arbor area\, performing regularly and releasing five albums of mostly original material. Still living and working on the family farm\, Billy has continued writing and recording\, and\, with his brother\, started Holler Fest\, a three-day music festival featuring Michigan artists.\n\nBilly’s versatility as a multi-genre singer-songwriter is matched by his ability on a wide range of instruments from guitar and banjo to keyboards and accordion. \n\nWithin the songwriting community\, he is well-known for his musicianship and originality. In 2007\, his composition\, \"I Don't Write Love Songs\,\" was awarded the Grand Prize in the Great Lakes Songwriting Contest.\n\nInfluenced by master songwriters such as Bob Dylan\, Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon\, Billy crafts melodically compelling songs that maintain a sense of the timeless and classic. Sometimes catchy folk/rock\, sometimes searing blues\, but always direct and thoughtful lyrics - this is original music from an original life\, fully accomplished yet humble\, and most of all real.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Multiracial Families: Increasing Rapidly
DESCRIPTION:This digital exhibit in the Shapiro Lobby showcases research about and narratives from people across the globe who are part of mixed race families.\n\nIn 1967\, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Loving v. Virginia case that marriage across racial lines was legal throughout the country. Intermarriage has increased steadily since then: one in five U.S. newlyweds (19%) were married to a person of a different race or ethnicity in 2019\, a more than sixfold increase from 3% in 1967 (Pew Research Center\, 2022).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CREES Exhibition. Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya
DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n   \n   Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79). See more of her work here: https://www.diannebeal.com/curatorial.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka
DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Situation Awareness and Trust Methods for Improving Human-Robot Team Performance
DESCRIPTION:RSVP requested.\n\nFRB 2300 and Zoom (passcode: mavric).\n\nCo-chairs: Dawn Tilbury and Lionel Robert\n\nAbstract:\nThe field of human-robot interaction is dedicated to understanding how humans interact with robots\, and developing interventions to enable desirable interactions. Within the expansive field of human-robot interaction\, we explore how two fundamental concepts\, trust and situation awareness\, can facilitate and apply to interactions between humans and robots. Methods are presented for allocating tasks between humans and robots using trust\, understanding team trust dynamics\, and perceiving and enhancing situation awareness.\n\nTo address the problem of allocating tasks between humans and robots\, we present a task allocation method that can allocate both familiar and novel tasks and learn unknown agent capabilities by incorporating trust from a robot.\n\nWe move towards fostering appropriate trust by demonstrating how a team’s trust in and engagement with autonomy did not decrease in a longitudinal experiment\, despite the autonomy’s persistent unreliability. \n\nA multi-phase solution is presented for the problem of improving situation awareness. The solution combines experimentation to uncover how shared mental models and communication factors influence situation awareness\, leading to a real-time situation awareness estimation and robot communication adaptation method that we demonstrate to improve situation awareness and performance.\n\nThe presented work enriches our knowledge on how humans team with robots\, moving closer to a reality where humans and robots harmoniously work in unison to achieve goals.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Promoting Co-Adaptation in Human Interaction with Powered Upper Limb Exoskeletons
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Leia Stirling\nIOE 2717 and Zoom\n\nPowered robotic exoskeletons offer great promise in assisting elderly or disabled individuals with daily activities or augmenting healthy individuals in performing labor-intensive tasks. Yet\, one primary challenge for these powered devices is to achieve seamless cooperation between the human user and the exoskeleton. Fluent human-exoskeleton cooperation mandates mutual adaptation. Humans need to adapt to it as the support from the exoskeleton alters movement dynamics. Similarly\, the exoskeleton must also adapt to the evolving behaviors of its users. However\, current approaches often lack adequate guidance to facilitate human learning in exoskeleton usage\, and many exoskeleton controllers overlook the user’s evolving behaviors during the learning process. Moreover\, the dynamics of co-adaptation between the human and exoskeleton are not thoroughly understood. The dissertation delves into each of these challenges through three primary projects.\n\nIn the first project\, I examined the impact of EMG biofeedback on the use of EMG-based powered upper limb exoskeletons in a tracking task. We found that EMG biofeedback did not lead to large differences in muscle effort reduction (overall or during hold periods) or task accuracy\, possibly due to the need for individuals to have additional support to acquire an appropriate exoskeleton motor program and learn how to effectively utilize the biofeedback information. Nevertheless\, biofeedback may improve participant satisfaction with exoskeleton usage\, which is a crucial factor for encouraging long-term use. In the second project\, I introduced an adaptive controller capable of monitoring user adaptation and utilizing this information for intention classification. The adaptive controller yielded notable enhancements in intention classification accuracy and reduced muscle effort during movement initiation in a target position matching task. In the third project\, I integrated EMG biofeedback with the adaptive controller to promote co-adaptation within the human-exoskeleton team. I also investigated the impact of biofeedback training on novice users’ ability to utilize biofeedback information effectively. The results demonstrated that training enabled users to benefit from biofeedback\, and the co-adaptation process led to optimal exoskeleton usage.\n\nTaken together\, these projects provide critical insights into promoting co-adaptation in human-exoskeleton interaction. They offer an understanding of human and exoskeleton adaptation independently while also unveiling the interactive dynamics of co-adaptation\, advancing the field toward more effective and intuitive exoskeleton systems.\n\nZoom Passcode: 151547

SUMMARY:Performance:Arab American Heritage Month Carillon Recital by Drs. Christine El-Hage Walters and Tiffany Ng
DESCRIPTION:*A Carillon Journey through Middle-Eastern Music*: Join Drs. Christine El-Hage Walters and Tiffany Ng for a special noon carillon recital that journeys through a blend of traditional and contemporary Middle-Eastern music\, highlighting the distinct tonalities and rhythms found throughout this area of the world. The recital will feature the music of Lebanese legend Fairuz\, Middle Eastern folk tunes\, and original compositions written with a message of hope and peace for the region. Experience the resonance of the carillon as it amplifies these hopeful sounds\, creating a community atmosphere that bridges cultures and reflects the enduring spirit of peace.\n\nThe Charles Baird Carillon is an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cutting through the complexity: Why not just use a lottery for college admissions?
DESCRIPTION:Many prominent social scientists have advocated for random-draw lotteries as a solution to the “problem” of college admissions. They argue that lotteries will be fair and equitable\, eliminate corruption\, reduce student anxiety\, restore democratic ideals\, and end debates over race-conscious admissions. In response\, we simulate potential lottery effects on student enrollment by race\, gender\, and income\, using robust simulation methods.  If we went to a lottery system\, what would happen to student diversity?  And how would this change the built relationship between students and selective colleges?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Architectures for Safe Autonomy: Provable Guarantees Across Control\, Planning\, and Perception
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Dimitra Panagou\n\nAbstract\nThis thesis addresses the design of safety-critical autonomous systems - systems that must always satisfy a set of safety constraints. The primary objective is to develop a cohesive architecture for the entire autonomy stack\, ensuring that\, under specific and verifiable assumptions\, a robot can execute its mission while respecting these constraints.\n\nTo achieve this\, we take a bottom-up approach\, beginning with the design of a safety-critical controller and identifying the necessary assumptions for its safe operation. These assumptions impose requirements on upstream autonomy modules\, such as planning and perception. We then develop methods to construct these modules in a way that preserves safety guarantees across the entire autonomy stack.\n\nThe main contributions of this thesis include: (A) the gatekeeper architecture - a flexible framework for establishing rigorous safety guarantees at the planning level\, (B) the development of certifiably correct perception algorithms that not only produce accurate obstacle maps but also provide error bounds to ensure correctness despite odometry drift\, and (C) the introduction of clarity and perceivability - concepts that quantify a robotic system’s ability to gather information about its environment\, taking into account the environment model\, as well as the robot’s actuation and sensing capabilities.\n\nFor each of these contributions\, we provide formal proofs and demonstrate their practical effectiveness through simulations and hardware experiments with aerial and mobile robots.\n\nZoom passcode: opensesame

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cecilia Howard Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Microbial ecosystems have shaped and been shaped by Earth’s environments since the origin of life\, and microbial sediments and rocks (“microbialites”) can both inform our understanding of the past and complicate our records of it. The sediment record of microbial ecosystems has the potential to preserve information about past climate\, biology\, mechanics\, and more. However\, separating individual processes from the complex amalgamation of information that typifies microbial sediments is a continuing challenge for microbial systems from the Archean to the modern. This dissertation investigates the impacts of environmental variations on microbial records at a range of spatial and temporal scales.\nIn Chapters 2 and 3\, I focus on early records of life in the Archean and Paleoproterozoic\, prior to the evolution of multicellularity. In Chapter 2\, I use a literature review to determine how microbialite depositional environments change across nearly two billion years of the Archean and Paleoproterozoic. This chapter presents the first broad dataset to consider marine and tidal microbialites separately and also reveals the consistent presence of terrestrial microbialites from the earliest records of life. I find that the majority of microbialites formed in tidal environments and the proportion of terrestrially influenced microbialites increased during periods of craton development\, suggesting that terrestrially derived nutrients were essential to early life. In Chapter 3\, I use microCT scanning to measure and reconstruct 3.48 Ga microbialites\, among the earliest accepted evidence of life. These measurements\, along with a compilation of carbon and sulfur isotope data\, suggest that the microbialites were formed by metabolically diverse communities in a high flow tidal environment\, consistent with modeling of Archean tides.\nIn Chapter 4\, I investigate microbialites from a lake in the hothouse climate of the Early Eocene (~50 Ma) using a mixture of morphological and geochemical analyses. This chapter considers how spatial and temporal differences influence microbialites\, looking at single beds over 10–20 km distances and samples spanning 3 Ma. I find that microbialite morphology and chemistry records a mixture of large-scale information such as temperatures consistent with a hothouse environment and local conditions such as spring or stream influence and sediment sources\, which manifests as lateral variability within beds. Additionally\, comparison of atmospheric carbon dioxide reconstructions based on preserved carbon in the microbialites to past estimates supports low to moderate microbial growth rates throughout this time period.\nIn Chapter 5\, I consider how sediments in a modern microbial ecosystem are influenced by climate change using a ten-year timeseries of sediment carbon and nitrogen data from an anoxic sinkhole in Lake Huron\, which hosts a diverse microbial mat ecosystem. I integrate this sediment data with climate and lake chemistry parameters\, finding that changes in ice cover lead to differences in sediment carbon in the following year. These results suggest that decreasing ice cover in the Great Lakes could lead to rapid but potentially ephemeral effects on sediment carbon.\nThe results in this dissertation exhibit the array of spatial and temporal scales at which microbial-environmental interactions occur\, from local effects such as groundwater altering microbialite chemistry or carbon preservation to global climate and tectonics driving microbialite distribution. These findings can provide a framework for understanding the interactions between microbial ecosystems and their environment and emphasize the importance of environmental context for understanding microbialite records.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense // From Museums to Islands: How Species Interactions Affect Cryptic Traits
DESCRIPTION:Hayley Crowell\, EEB PhD student\, presents their dissertation defense.\n\nSummary: Our understanding of ecology and evolution depends on organismal traits we can detect and quantify. Hidden (i.e.\, cryptic) traits\, those not readily apparent or those obscured by variation in other traits\, represent a challenge in that they can lead to incomplete or incorrect interpretations of pattern and process in phenotypic evolution. The study of ecological and evolutionary interactions among species is particularly sensitive to these challenges in trait detection and quantification because every organism uses other species to survive and reproduce. If organisms are using hidden traits to communicate and function\, then we may be missing entire axes of variation crucial to our understanding of species interactions. Given that many organisms have vastly different sensory capabilities than humans\, studying cryptic traits in the context of species interactions provides the opportunity to examine animal behavior and ecology from perspectives more relevant to the interacting species themselves. My dissertation combines museum methods\, classroom experiences\, phylogenetic comparative analyses\, and field observations to investigate species interactions and their consequential effects on cryptic trait variation. This research provides a detailed exploration into the evolution of UV color in response to ecological variables\, as well as integrative ways to use museums and teaching to further our understanding of broader trait evolution in response to species interactions.\n\nThis is a hybrid event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar |   PROSPECT-I final oscillation results and PROSPECT-II physics goals and detector design
DESCRIPTION:The Precision Reactor Oscillation and SPECTrum (PROSPECT) experiment is a short-baseline reactor experiment built to measure the antineutrino spectrum from the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). The detector is made of 4 tons of Li-6 doped liquid scintillator divided into an 11x14 array of optically separated segments. The experiment searches for potential short-baseline oscillations and the existence of sterile neutrinos. PROSPECT has already set new limits on the existence of eV-scale sterile neutrinos while achieving the highest signal-to-background ratio on any surface antineutrino detector. The collaboration has developed an upgraded detector design\, PROSPECT-II\, which will increase the detector's statistics and physics sensitivity. In this talk\, I will present the PROSPECT-I results and describe the major design features of the PROSPECT-II detector\, highlighting improvements from the PROSPECT-I detector. In addition\, I will discuss how those add to the oscillation and spectrum results.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:International Students Career Series: How to Navigate Small Talk
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, many people participate in what is called \"small talk\"\, where you make conversation with strangers or acquaintances about non-controversial topics\, such as the weather\, sports\, or popular television shows. “Small talk” is one of the ways in American culture to chat about harmless topics in order to establish a connection and start to build a friendship. For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or in an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation. If you areinterested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers! REGISTER HERE: https://umich.joinhandshake.com/events/1718094/share_preview We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG: Unitary Shimura Varieties
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk introduces the setting of the Kulda program we will study throughout the rest of the semester: unitary Shimura varieties.  Geometrically\, unitary Shimura varieties are arithmetic quotients of unit balls which are realizable as the complex points of a quasi-projective algebraic variety. Arithmetically\, this variety descends to a variety over a totally real number field. Integrally\, certain unions of these varieties represent a moduli problem which has an integral structure.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Seminar Series: Andrew Todd
DESCRIPTION:Throughout its history\, autism has been conceptualized as a mostly male condition. Although gender/sex differences in autism diagnosis are shrinking\, public recognition of this shift may be lagging for various reasons. For example\, even today\, the rare media depictions of autistic adults (many are of autistic children and adolescents\, usually boys) disproportionately focus on autistic men. Insofar as these depictions inform societal impressions\, a masculinization hypothesis suggests that both autistic men and autistic women may be construed as having more masculine qualities than their non-autistic counterparts. In this talk\, Andrew Todd will report findings from a new and ongoing line of research that are better accommodated by an alternative de-gendering hypothesis: In multiple experiments using a combination of direct and indirect methodological approaches\, autistic adults were construed as having fewer gender-consistent traits than neurotypical and neurotype-unspecified adults. Furthermore\, this de-gendering pattern had downstream implications that align with dehumanizing experiences commonly reported by autistic adults—that they’re viewed by others both as machine-like (i.e.\, mechanistic dehumanization) and as more childlike (i.e.\, infantilization) than their chronological age dictates. These mechanized and infantilized impressions of autistic women and men\, which were not fully reducible to general negativity toward autism specifically or toward neurodivergence or disability more broadly\, were evident (albeit more weakly) even among autistic participants.\n\nAndrew Todd (BA\, Michigan State\; MS & PhD\, Northwestern) is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of California\, Davis. Much of his research falls into two general themes: (1) antecedents and consequences of perspective taking and mental-state reasoning\, and (2) mental representations of people with different combinations of social identities.\n\nAllison Earl hosts.\n\nThe Winter 2025 RCGD Seminar Series will feature speakers invited and hosted by faculty affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics. These multidisciplinary talks will cover a variety of topics in social science\, including social cognition\, structural racism\, romantic relationships\, and cognitive health. Check the schedule for updates to this series that will convene on select Mondays at 3:30 at the Institute for Social Research.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg Lecture: In Situ Probe of Structure and Dynamics at Metal electrode/Electrolyte Interface: Interfacial Field\, Electro-induction Effect\, and Hot Electron Transfer
DESCRIPTION:Structure and dynamics of electric double layer (EDL)\, the sub-nanometer region at the electrode/electrolyte interface\, are essential to the function and performance of many energy conversion and storage devices\, ranging from electrolyzers\, photoelectrochemical cells\, fuel cells to batteries. In situ probe of the EDL structure and dynamics at the molecular level requires advanced molecular spectroscopic tools with interfacial sensitivity and/or selectivity. In this talk\, I will discuss three recent studies in developing and applying vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as powerful in situ interface specific/sensitive vibrational spectroscopic tools. 1) Using combined VSFG and DFT calculation\, we determine the binding structure of a molecular CO2 reduction catalyst on metal electrodes and interfacial electric field profile in the EDL\, revealing surprisingly large electrode induction effects on molecular catalyst. 2) Using combined SERS and MD simulation\, we obtain an atomistic view of the structure of solvent and ion molecules at the EDL\, revealing an unconventional interfacial water structure change at high negative electrode polarizations in water-in-salt electrolytes. 3) Using time-resolved VSFG\, we directly measure hot electron transfer induced vibrational dynamics of adsorbates on metal electrodes\, suggesting the possibility of plasmon (or light)-enhanced electrochemistry.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:ISRMT Seminar: Long-Time Asymptotics of Solutions to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili I Equation
DESCRIPTION:We establish the long-time asymptotics for solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili I (KP I) equation (u_t+6uu_x+u_{xxx})_x = 3 u_{yy} with small initial data\, using the inverse scattering transform formalism developed by Zhou. Within this framework\, the inverse problem for the KP I equation is formulated as a nonlocal Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) in two dimensions. As part of the asymptotic analysis\, we also determine the long-time behavior of the solution to the nonlocal RHP\, along with its x-derivative.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Panel Discussion | Being Korean\, Becoming Japanese?: Nationhood\, Citizenship\, And Resistance In Japan
DESCRIPTION:This hybrid panel discussion is a celebration of Hwaji Shin’s new book\, *Being Korean\, Becoming Japanese?: Nationhood\, Citizenship\, and Resistance in Japan.* This book is available in print and through open access.\n   \n   If you would like to attend virtually\, please register for the Zoom at https://myumi.ch/dgNX8\n   \n   The panel will be followed by a reception in the Lane Hall lobby.\n   \n   Participants:\n   Hwaji Shin\, Professor of Sociology\, University of San Francisco and former Toyota Visiting Professor\, University of Michigan\n   David Jacobson\, Professor of Sociology\, University of South Florida\n   Macario Garcia\, Assistant Professor of Anthropology\, Kennesaw State University\n   \n   In Japan\, the number of “Special Permanent Residents”—most of whom are of Korean descent\, the so-called “Zainichi”—is declining\, according to government statistics. Does this mean Koreans living in Japan are becoming Japanese? Hwaji Shin’s new book presents a compelling sociological analysis of Korean colonial migrants’ and their descendants’ politics of self-identification and their ongoing struggle for social justice. Centering on the social and political exclusion of Koreans\, the book asks two fundamental questions: What has triggered the historical transformations of nationhood\, citizenship\, and migration policies in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Japan? How are these transformations related?\n   \n   Hwaji Shin challenges the persistent belief that Japan’s ethno-racial homogeneity is responsible for its restrictive citizenship and immigration laws. She argues that the relationships between nationhood\, citizenship\, and migration in Japan have always been fluid and historically contingent rather than causal or static. Her work examines the nexus of these three concepts from a subaltern perspective and illuminates the ways in which non-state\, marginalized actors directly influenced the state’s development of citizenship and immigration policies. It explores the failures and triumphs of Koreans resisting Japanese ethno-racial oppression through stories of ordinary lives that have been disrupted by wars\, elites’ interests\, and geopolitics. *Being Korean\, Becoming Japanese?* draws on rich historical data to provide a powerful narrative about how Koreans in Japan have defiantly survived and thrived to impact the country’s ideas and policies of nationhood\, citizenship\, and migration for more than a century.\n   \n   This event is sponsored by the Center for Japanese Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STeMS Speaker Series | Ecology Against Empire: Spiders\, Sex\, and Feminist Field Science
DESCRIPTION:Ashton's talk is based on her current book project\, Anti-colonial Arachnology--an examination of the gendered and racialized dynamics of how knowledge is produced about animal mating behavior. She situates an ethnographic study of evolutionary biologists in a “spider lab” within a spatial and political analysis of their fields on Tohono O’odham ancestral territory at the US-México border. Wesner’s broader collaborative research program is guided by the questions: How do practicing biologists uphold and upend heteropatriarchal understandings of sex\, gender\, and violence in their quotidian study of non-human animals? How might life sciences offer openings for feminist analytics of migration and right-relations with occupied lands? \nAshton Wesner is assistant professor of Science\, Technology\, and Society at Colby College\, where she also co-facilitates the Environmental Humanities Faculty Seminar and the Critical Indigenous Studies Initiative. Her research and teaching in STS combines critical history of the natural sciences\, queer and feminist studies\, and Native American and Indigenous studies. She brings these fields together to sharpen our conceptions of US imperialist environmental violence and expand feminist practices in evolutionary and field biology. Ashton received her PhD from the University of California Berkeley in Society & Environment. Her most recent publications can be found in The American Naturalist\, on the history of coloniality\, data\, and power in the natural sciences\, and Women’s Studies\, on the gendered slippages in studies on jumping spider mating behavior and the possibilities for queer modes of attention to disrupt heteropatriarchy in the scientific study of animals. She has additional work in Catalyst: Feminist\, Theory\, Technoscience\; Animal Behavior\; and forthcoming in Oisirs. She is also an Editor for 4SBackchannels\, the digital publication forum for the Society for Social Studies of Science.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Intelligent Hand\, from Hellenistic Epigram to the Hoby Cups
DESCRIPTION:This lecture takes its lead from the artist who signed his name on the silver cups from Hoby (now in the National Museum of Denmark) as ‘Cheirisophos’\, meaning ‘Wise Hand’. Rather than just taking the name as a playful pseudonym\, it explores how the artist’s self-identification can be read alongside the scenes of diplomacy\, supplication\, and healing on the cups themselves\, which are also examples of intelligent acts of touch. In their allusions to Greek epic and drama\, these scenes also draw on a long tradition in Greco-Roman culture exploring the entangled relationship between hand and mind. As a form of enactive or extended cognition\, the ‘wisdom of hands’ is also key to Hellenistic Greek epigrams on works of art\, especially those on bronze statues by the third century BCE poet Posidippus. The notion of the ‘intelligent hand’\, emerging from the craft of metalwork\, challenges the instrumentalist assumptions of Aristotle’s claim that the hand is simply the ‘tool of tools’\, asserting a form of haptic wisdom that is vital to the transmission of Greek culture\, even beyond the edges of the Roman Empire.\n\nVerity Platt works at the intersection between Greco-Roman art\, literature\, and philosophy. She is cross-appointed in the departments of Classics and History of Art at Cornell University\, where she also co-curates the university’s cast collection and is currently director of the Humanities Scholars Program. This lecture draws from her forthcoming book\, Epistemic Objects: Making and Mediating Classical Art and Text (Oxford University Press).

SUMMARY:Film Screening:ASC Film Screening and Fireside Chat: *The People's Uncle* by Kavena Hambira
DESCRIPTION:About the film:\nAfter the murder of his nephew Oscar Grant by a BART police officer in 2009\, Cephus “Uncle Bobby” Johnson emerged as a national social justice activist. At the forefront of the struggle to end police violence in the United States\, the story of *The People’s Uncle* chronicles his journey and his work with families affected by similarly brutal experiences.\n\nHambira\, an African filmmaker living in the United States\, uses his storytelling to bridge gaps between marginalized voices across the African diaspora. By documenting Uncle Bobby’s work and impact\, Hambira reframes dominant narratives to emphasize resilience\, activism\, and the interwoven struggles of African and African American communities. This collaboration highlights the enduring ties between the continent and its diaspora\, showcasing how shared histories and experiences of marginalization can inspire collective action and solidarity. Together\, their work not only surfaces suppressed stories but also serves as a powerful example of diasporic unity in the fight for justice and human rights.\n\nFree and open to the public.\nPlease register at: https://forms.gle/KNCKqcZv8VKazHfz5

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jews\, the Academy\, and Antisemitism: How and What Should We Study?
DESCRIPTION:Antisemitism on American campuses\, both before and following the attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7\, 2023 is one of nation’s key polarizing issues\, acting as a magnet for virtually every political conflict. The current claims and counter-claims about campus antisemitism require far more careful analysis than is afforded by many of the current debates.\n\nI am interested in opening a conversation about these issues that will examine a broader understanding of the social field in which these debates are currently situated. Some of the components of the social field will include the complex history of Jews in American higher education\, the transformations in scholarship created by the political movements of the 1970s that have been both critical to creating the field of Jewish studies and contemporary theorizing of Israel and Palestine\, and the related political fight to define antisemitism\, including the partisans driving this fight outside of academia.\n\nFinally\, I will turn to recent survey research on Jewish and non-Jewish students’ attitudes and experiences on American campuses that reveals far more complex findings than anticipated by the sociologists who conducted the research. There is an urgent need for scholars to engage research about campus antisemitism with far greater nuance and assertiveness than currently exists.\n\nRiv-Ellen Prell\, an anthropologist\, is Emerita Professor of American Studies at the University of Minnesota. She is the author of Fighting to Become Americans: Jews\, Gender and the Anxiety of Assimilation and Prayer and Community: the Havurah in American Judaism. Among other works\, she has edited Women Remaking American Judaism.\n\nHer scholarly essays\, articles and reviews\, at the intersection of anthropology and history\, engage questions of how American Jewish cultures have been shaped by work\, family\, gender\, antisemitism\, and religious and cultural innovation. In 2017 she curated both a physical and digital exhibition “A Campus Divided: Progressives\, Anticommunists\, Racism and Antisemitism at the University of Minnesota: 1920-1934.” The exhibition was the most widely attended in the University’s history\, which resulted in a student protest movement that called for major transformations in memorialization and priorities at the University of Minnesota. She continues work on digital and public history.

But for me\, \"creating\" has a broader definition than just helping craft beautiful visuals and engaging stories. I love that part. But I also love working to solve business problems in clever\, honest and\, naturally\, creative ways...using whatever media and tactics make sense. Imagining a solution\, seeing it come to life and have real impact on a client's business and brand just never gets old.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Multiracial Families: Increasing Rapidly
DESCRIPTION:This digital exhibit in the Shapiro Lobby showcases research about and narratives from people across the globe who are part of mixed race families.\n\nIn 1967\, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Loving v. Virginia case that marriage across racial lines was legal throughout the country. Intermarriage has increased steadily since then: one in five U.S. newlyweds (19%) were married to a person of a different race or ethnicity in 2019\, a more than sixfold increase from 3% in 1967 (Pew Research Center\, 2022).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CREES Exhibition. Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya
DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n   \n   Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79). See more of her work here: https://www.diannebeal.com/curatorial.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka
DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n   \n   The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n   \n   The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:2025 AI in Science and Engineering Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) promises an enormous potential to transform academic research to “mass produce” human knowledge and enable humans to address research questions and engineering challenges that were previously unfathomable. However\, the massive adoption of AI in research and the assurance of positive societal impact of the output of such research will be possible only when we can address a multitude of technical and ethical issues\, ensure infrastructure and skill building\, and understand the impact of AI on society’s challenges. Collaboration among researchers and organizations regionally and globally is essential.  \n\nIn this symposium\, we bring together world-class researchers to share their vision and work\; share “AI journeys” stories - how University of Michigan researchers have been incorporating AI in their research and the lessons they impart to the audience\; and offer sessions for research brainstorming and skill building. \n\nFor a full schedule of sessions and speakers\, please visit our event page: https://myumi.ch/qVXg2\n\nThe intended audience are researchers and trainees regardless of the specific fields of their research and the focus of their intellectual pursuit\, as well as the general public who are curious about AI and its impact on science and humanity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Breaking with Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Artist John Rizzo is exhibiting individual mixed-media sculptures that bridge across art\, design\, and craft. Using a combination of materials that are historically perceived as precious John's work distorts\, disrupts\, and re-contextualizes perceptions of materials and their values. His work is at once \, colorful \, playful \, layered and deeply self-reflective in its personal narrative.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.
