This exhibit asks: What do we know about the root causes of prejudice toward skin color? What can we do to improve interpersonal and structural colorism? To answer these questions\, Prof. Rogério Pinto (Social Work) uses personal and historical materials and interview data to optimize audience interaction\, including critical dialogues around colorism while audiences are viewing the installation or immediately after viewing it.

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.

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!

He works at the intersection of stochastic analysis\, machine learning and quantitative finance. His primary research areas are continuous-time stochastic processes and probabilistic ranking models. Tang’s current research interest is to improve the efficiency of machine learning algorithms using stochastic tools\, and to develop robust AI methodology for the emerging fintech market. Examples include diffusion generative modeling\, analysis and design of blockchain mechanisms\, and the curse of dimensionality in large interacting particle systems.\n\n Abstract: Recently\, there has been growing interest in guiding\, or fine tuning pretrained diffusion models or LLMs for specific purposes\, e.g.\, aesthetic quality of images\, functional property of proteins\, and downstream tasks in finance and operations management. In this talk\, I will discuss several (principled) approaches\, encompassing conditional guidance\, regularization and reinforcement learning. Some applications will also be presented. The talk is based on a series of joint work with my students Haoxian Chen and Hanyang Zhao\, as well as my colleagues David Yao\, Henry Lam.

I will discuss two avenues where our understanding of photochemical hazes and condensation clouds has advanced for exoplanetary atmospheres. Both kinds of aerosols fundamentally shape the atmospheric chemistry of a variety of exoplanets\, with subsequent impacts on observations from a variety of facilities\, including JWST. First\, I will present results on the properties of photochemical haze particles produced from laboratory studies and the ways we may begin untangling these properties with JWST’s instrumentation for the most promising planetary targets. Second\, I will focus on updates to our understanding of exoplanet clouds. Clouds made of silicate materials are thought to be the dominant cloud species that affects our interpretations of hot Jupiters\, but the underlying laboratory data typically used for such interpretation does not fully capture the complexity of these materials. I will discuss my recent efforts to properly account for this complexity by considering mineral polymorphs and non-spherical cloud particle models. Properly accounting for the full chemical and physical complexity of both condensate and photochemical aerosol particles in exoplanet atmospheres will let us use them as atmospheric tracers of planetary conditions.

The log canonical threshold (lct) of the pair (X\,Y) is a positive rational number which measures the singularities of Y\, and the study of this quantity is an important topic in birational geometry with connections to the minimal model program. In positive characteristic\, one instead typically studies the F-pure threshold (fpt) of a pair. When R is a F-finite ring and I an ideal of R\, the quantity fpt(R\,I) measures how far the ring R/I is from being strongly F-regular.\n\nIn 2014\, Demailly and Phan defined an invariant of a pair (R\, I) in terms of certain mixed multiplicities of the ideal I and showed that this invariant is a lower bound on the log canonical threshold. In the case of a pair (R\, I)\, where R is a polynomial ring and I is an ideal generated by a homogeneous regular sequence\, we classify exactly when the log canonical threshold is equal to Demailly and Phan's invariant.

In 2017\, just months after Donald Trump took office\, Eminem appeared in a BET “Cypher\,” a freestyle rap session where emcees show off their skills\, and used the entirety of his allotted time to accuse President Trump of being a cowardly racist who represented an immediate threat to the American people. Less than three months ago\, Eminem took the stage again\, this time at a Detroit rally in support of Kamala Harris. He once again called out Trump as a threat to the country and introduced former president Barack Obama\, who began his speech by rapping lyrics from one of Eminem’s most famous songs\, “Lose Yourself.” Despite Eminem’s stated support for Democratic candidates and his rejection of Trump\, the white rapper also has been claimed by Republican politicians including Marco Rubio and Vivek Ramaswamy. In fact\, early in his career\, Eminem branded himself as a politically incorrect provocateur who\, as the title to one of his first songs put it\, “Just Don’t Give a Fuck.” By emphasizing contradictions in whiteness\, particularly with respect to class\, Eminem’s early commercial recordings\, along with his semi-autobiographical 2002 film *8 Mile*\, cast him as an angry underdog. Thus\, despite his recent efforts to position himself firmly in opposition to Donald Trump\, much of Eminem’s early work aligns well with the cultural logic of conservative grievance politics. This lecture explores these contradictions and examines how Eminem can be claimed by politicians on both sides of the aisle. Why was Eminem’s music and legacy open to being adopted by both Democrats and Republicans during the 2024 presidential campaign? How do Barack Obama and Vivek Ramaswamy\, both of whom chose to rap the opening lines of “Lose Yourself” at different campaign events\, draw on hip hop history to bolster their respective positions? What does Eminem’s relevance twenty-five years after his mainstream debut tell us about hip hop’s political evolution? And\, finally\, what can hip hop teach us about recent trends in electoral politics that have seen more people of color\, especially young men\, identifying with the GOP?\n\nGUEST SPEAKER BIO\n\nLOREN KAJIKAWA is Associate Professor and Chair of the music program at the George Washington University’s Corcoran School of the Arts & Design.

DESCRIPTION:Seating is Limited. Please register in advance to attend. \n\nIn the inaugural year of the MIDAS Data and AI in Society Lecture Series\, the general public is welcome and encouraged to attend. No prior experience with AI is required.\n\nGenerative artificial intelligence systems such as ChatGPT can have conversations that seem eerily human. But\, could they ever be conscious? Just as importantly\, why does it matter? Even as AI experts\, neuroscientists\, and philosophers debate these questions\, AI innovation keeps marching on. In this talk\, Toyama discusses some of these issues as they pertain to moral personhood\, the question of if and when machines should be treated with moral considerations similar to those given to people: Should there be concern about harming AI systems? When should an AI system be held responsible for its actions? What does it mean to hold a machine responsible? As with so much about consciousness and morality\, consensus is elusive\, but the Toyama also presents his own opinions and arguments for how he believes these questions should be decided.

Major changes that took place included the restructuring of synagogue architecture with the removal of the women’s gallery\, the redefinition of community through women’s volunteerism\, and the introduction of women's religious leadership\, which also challenged conventional theology. Historically and today\, American Judaism -- in dialogue with American society and other models of religious practice -- has constantly evolved and transformed in an effort to match the ever-moving target of gendered expectations for religious behavior and practice.

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.

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.

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

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.

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.

PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

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. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

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.

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  UID:84303-21621531@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241216T181511 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250228T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250228T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:2025 Undergraduate Juried Exhibition DESCRIPTION:The Stamps School’s annual Undergraduate Juried Exhibition is a showcase of outstanding work produced by Stamps undergraduate students taking place at Stamps Gallery from February 22 – March 8\, 2025.

On Friday\, February 28th\, we will meet for our nextopen Office Hours session to troubleshoot participant projects. Register and learn more: https://nebigdatahub.org/drm-project/ The Data &\; Research Methods project is perfect for beginners who have never worked with a dataset before. This project will also be helpful for advanced data science students who have little experience working with data cleaning or survey building\, desk research\, or data visualizations. The focus of this project is the research process as a whole.It is the first day of your new job as the Junior Data Scientist for the Office of the Mayor in the fictional town of Data Lake\, West Dakota. The population of Data Lake (314\,159) has grown rapidly since 2020 as a number of remote workers have relocated to the mid-size city. Mayor “Tess Ellation” hastasked your office with a project – to learn more about the specific needs of the town’s new remote work population. She asks you to review data on remote workers provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and come back to her with at least two data-driven policy recommendations which will support these new Data Lake families (for example\, a policy recommendationmight be: build new coworking spaces downtown). Your policy recommendations must be informed by data analysis or Mayor Ellation will not adopt them. Participants will clean a dataset\, learn about the ethics of data science research\, do some preliminary analysis\, and develop a workinghypothesis about the impact of remote work policies. You'll build some simple data visualizations\, test your hypotheses\, write up a short conclusion\, and prepare a final report for Mayor Ellation. There are 9 Milestones in this project. There are several Tasks you need to complete within each Milestone. This project should take you no more than 30 hours tofinish. Depending on your skill level\, it may take you less time.In this project\, you will learn using a combination of videos\, articles\, and external data work in spreadsheets.

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.

I analyze visual and textual narratives of the rubber-producing tree hevea brasiliensis\, and I propose a speculative mode of analysis based on shifting scientific paradigms on plant intelligence and plant behavior. I also discuss the role of key figures like William Jackson Hooker—the English botanist and director of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew who successfully domesticated hevea seedlings\, paving the way for the development of rubber plantations in British colonies in Southeast Asia and\, in the process\, contributing to the collapse of the Amazonian rubber boom—and Roger Casement—the Irish diplomat known for his harrowing accounts of the violent labor regimes in the Congo Free State and the Peruvian Amazon propelled by the rubber economy. The talk further shows the links between botany\, plant commodification\, and imperialism.\n\nOlimpia E. Rosenthal is Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese at Indiana University. She is a scholar of colonialism in Latin America\, specializing in literary and cultural production that reflects material practices of domination\, the long-term effects of colonization\, and the ways in which imperial power has been challenged and contested. Her first book\, Race\, Sex and Segregation in Colonial Latin America (Routledge 2022)\, examines the emergence and early development of indigenous segregationist policies in Spanish and Portuguese America. The book shows that segregationist measures influenced the material reorganization of space\, shaped colonial processes of racialization\, and contributed to the politicization of reproductive sex. She has also organized a series of international conferences\, including one on Subaltern Studies at Indiana University’s Gateway Center in India\, and she recently co-organized the Sawyer Seminar Global Slaveries\, Fugitivity\, and the Afterlives of Unfreedom. Her current book project examines the political ecology of the Amazonian rubber boom.

The phenomenon of exile has been a useful lens through which to interrogate systems of power and authority\, and has helped modern scholars redefine identity. Exile\, however\, does not always mean a physical displacement of a people\; despite being “at home\,” those who live\, think\, and practice on the margins of society can experience isolation in one’s own domain that feels akin to exile.

However\, the computational demands for training these models are immense\, requiring vast amounts of data. As the spatial and temporal resolution of simulations increases\, even data storage becomes a critical bottleneck. This talk presents how low-rank tensor decomposition methods can be used to exploit the structure in large-scale data. We showcase a diverse array of applications\, from 3D turbulent Navier-Stokes simulations to Minecraft gameplay videos\, demonstrating the versatility and power of these techniques.\n\nBio: Doruk Aksoy is a 5th year PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering and Scientific computing at the University of Michigan\, working under the supervision of Prof. Alex Gorodetsky.

On Kalymnos\, fieldwork\ncontinues to find indications of these processes in action. This deforested\, dry island has been\nsubject to many empires\, and\, it appears\, many episodes of ecological devastation. I suggest that\nEarly Medieval Kalymnos can be understood as a ‘post-apocalyptic’ landscape\, in which new\nresources\, new landscapes\, and new social organizations were shaped from a dry and dying earth.

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.

Here\, we integrate solution NMR spectroscopy and chemical probing approaches to visualize a two-state conformational ensemble for the central stem-loop 3 (SL3) of 7SK RNA\, a critical element for 7SK RNA function in transcription regulation. We find that the SL3 distal end undergoes slow exchange between two equally populated yet structurally distinct states in both isolated SL3 constructs and full-length 7SK RNA. We rationally designed constructs that lock SL3 into a single state and demonstrate that both NMR and chemical probing data fit to a linear combination of the two states. A survey of vertebrate 7SK RNA sequences shows exquisite sequence dependence on the two-state equilibrium. Moreover\, we find that changing environmental variables such as temperature and ionic strength shifts the equilibrium between the two states. We determine thermodynamic parameters such as divalent cation binding affinities for individual states and find that the two states have strikingly different responses to addition of divalent cations. Together\, these data indicate that the two states significantly differ in their structural and dynamic properties\, which may impact SL3 function in transcription regulation. These results provide new insights into 7SK RNA structural dynamics and demonstrate the utility of integrating chemical probing with NMR spectroscopy to gain quantitative insights into RNA conformational ensembles.

Due to their high performance\, they have become the most widely flown form of in-space propulsion. However\, our ability to predict Hall thruster operation and life with simulations is limited by difficulties in modeling the “anomalous” loss of electron confinement due to plasma turbulence. This anomalous transport of electrons limits efficiency and determines the electric field profile\, impacting nearly every aspect of the thruster. Past attempts to measure the anomalous transport have used perturbative plasma probes which alter the thruster operation\, and model-based inference studies do not produce a unique solution.\n\nIn this work\, laser scattering experiments are performed to non-perturbatively characterize the flow of momentum and heat through the Hall thruster plasma. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) velocimetry is employed to capture the electric field\, while incoherent Thomson scattering (ITS) is used to directly measure the electron properties in a high-power\, magnetically shielded Hall thruster. A method is devised to infer the cross-field transport\, represented by the effective Hall parameter\, directly from these laser measurements. The electron properties are investigated across a parametric map of operating conditions and propellants in one and two dimensions. It is found that electron temperatures are larger than previously expected and the principle of isothermal field lines does not hold. The resulting dataset is used to evaluate theories for turbulent forces and heat fluxes in the Hall thruster and hollow cathode plumes.

This seasonal timing system is conserved across many different species\, including humans\, and is characterized by large interindividual differences. Strong biological responses (e.g. in melatonin duration) to day length have been linked to seasonal affective disorder\, which affects about 5 percent of adults in the U.S. Mathematical models provide a powerful tool to understand the underlying mechanisms driving these responses and their variability across individuals. In this study\, we analyze circadian rhythms in medical interns across the U.S. using data from wearable devices. Our findings reveal that individuals with stronger seasonal responses experience greater circadian misalignment due to environmental changes\, such as shift work. Using physiologically-based mathematical models\, we propose a new perspective on human seasonality\, emphasizing the challenges posed by modern-day environmental factors. Furthermore\, we investigate the dynamical behaviors in the models contributing to the complexity of circadian rhythms and seasonality.\n\nContact: AIM Seminar Organizers UID:130189-21865576@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130189 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250127T090800 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250228T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250228T160000 SUMMARY:Meeting:DocDi DESCRIPTION:The DocDi Group is a collaborative forum\, open to both students and faculty\, who share an interest in the areas of Field Linguistics\, Fieldwork Methods\, Language Documentation\, and Language Description.

While proxy records have allowed us to quantify rising atmospheric O2 levels quite effectively during this time period\, we have far fewer constraints on the timing and extent of ocean oxygenation beneath this evolving atmosphere right as the GOE was taking place. In this talk I will present new constraints on the coupled oxygenation of the ocean and atmosphere during the GOE using measurements of stable thallium and vanadium isotopes in Paleoproterozoic shales. These two global ocean paleoredox proxies exhibit subtly distinct responses to the impacts of ocean oxygenation that together allow us to build a nuanced picture of syn-GOE marine redox dynamics. I will present thallium isotopic data that demonstrates an instantaneous coupling between the initial oxygenation of the atmosphere above a canonical threshold value\, and the onset of significant manganese oxide burial in the oceans. Then\, I will show how vanadium isotope constraints indicate marine surface O2 reached levels persistently above quantifiable thresholds within as little as a few million years of the onset of permanent atmospheric oxygenation.

I analyze visual and textual narratives of the rubber-producing tree *hevea brasiliensis*\, and I propose a speculative mode of analysis based on shifting scientific paradigms on plant intelligence and plant behavior. I also discuss the role of key figures like William Jackson Hooker—the English botanist and director of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew who successfully domesticated hevea seedlings\, paving the way for the development of rubber plantations in British colonies in Southeast Asia and\, in the process\, contributing to the collapse of the Amazonian rubber boom—and Roger Casement—the Irish diplomat known for his harrowing accounts of the violent labor regimes in the Congo Free State and the Peruvian Amazon propelled by the rubber economy. The talk further shows the links between botany\, plant commodification\, and imperialism.\n\nOlimpia E. Rosenthal is Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese at Indiana University. She is a scholar of colonialism in Latin America\, specializing in literary and cultural production that reflects material practices of domination\, the long-term effects of colonization\, and the ways in which imperial power has been challenged and contested. Her first book\, *Race\, Sex and Segregation in Colonial Latin America* (Routledge 2022)\, examines the emergence and early development of indigenous segregationist policies in Spanish and Portuguese America. The book shows that segregationist measures influenced the material reorganization of space\, shaped colonial processes of racialization\, and contributed to the politicization of reproductive sex. She has also organized a series of international conferences\, including one on Subaltern Studies at Indiana University’s Gateway Center in India\, and she recently co-organized the *Sawyer Seminar Global Slaveries\, Fugitivity\, and the Afterlives of Unfreedom*. Her current book project examines the political ecology of the Amazonian rubber boom.

The foursome made up of Alexander Fedoryka (Vocals\, Fiddle\, Mandolin\, Harmonica)\, Danylo Fedoryka (Vocals\, Guitar\, Accordion)\, Ethan Dean (Vocals\, Upright and Electric Bass\, Percussion\, Guitar) and Johnny Rees (Vocals\, Drums\, Percussion) brings various influences together to create a conglomerate which is technically precise and steeped in various folk traditions: The classically trained Fedoryka brothers grew up on Ukrainian folk music and bluegrass\, while Ethan Dean was raised on the greats of 60’s & 70’s folk-rock. Lafayette\, LA raised Johnny Rees brings a Cajun backbeat to the Celtic-Americana fusion giving Scythian yet another dimension which keeps audiences entertained and moving. \n\nScythian is coming off its most prolific year in 2020 with over 1\,000 hours of live streams during the Covid Lockdowns\, release of two new albums (Roots & Stones and Quaranstream: The Album) and four new music videos. You have to catch the live show to understand why The Cammel City Dispatch said of their Merlefest performance: “[Scythian gives] no quarter in their quest to entertain and bring a joy to their music that gives it an irony-free\, wide open feel of manic possibility.

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.

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

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.

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  UID:84303-21621532@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250301T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250301T170000 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).

This event is free and open to everyone but is intended for children ages 4–8.\n\nInspired by supermodel Georgie Badiel’s childhood in Burkina Faso\, *The Water Princess* tells the story of Princess Gie Gie\, who endeavors to bring clean water to her small village. Each morning\, she embarks on the long journey to the well with a heavy pot atop her head\, dreaming of a day when her village will have an ample\, clean supply of water. This vibrant\, engaging story—written by Susan Verde with illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds—highlights the global issue of water scarcity and instills hope for a future in which all children have access to clean drinking water.\n\nThis event is free and open to all visitors.

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.

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

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.

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  UID:84303-21621533@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250302T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250302T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

Urban walls struck him as beautiful abstract paintings composed by humans\, nature\, and time. He abandoned his consular post and dedicated the rest of his life to creating artworks inspired by public walls around the world. Over fifty years he traveled to more than one hundred cities\, documenting the ever-changing advertisements\, graffiti\, and discourses recorded on thousands of walls. They became the inspiration for his own mixed media works that often incorporate raw materials from the street.\n \nFree and open to the public.
