Perseverative coping or the chronic and continuous contemplation about symptoms\, causes\, and consequences of distress represents an important\, yet under-explored mechanism that may explain and exacerbate the deleterious consequences of racial discrimination. Drawing from recent and forthcoming work from Dr. Bernard\, this presentation will highlight how perseverative coping can influence the discrimination-mental health link among Black youth and emerging adults. Additionally\, this presentation will discuss the value of considering perseverative coping as a culturally relevant\, malleable intervention target that can reduce negative mental health sequalae in the aftermath of racism-related experiences.\n\nDr. Donte Bernard’s program of research examines the direct and indirect pathways by which racism compromises the mental and behavioral health and well-being of Black children\, adolescents\, and emerging adults. Anchored by cultural ecological models recognizing the importance of risk and resilience at the individual and contextual level\, his research leverages both quantitative and qualitative methods to identify how Black youth identify\, cope with\, and navigate racism-related experiences across sensitive developmental periods. Ultimately\, the goal of his research is to eliminate racial disparities in mental and behavioral health through informing policy and intervention development targeting the reduction of racism and its related health consequences.\n\nMyles Durkee 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.

An edge-Kempe switch swaps the two colors on a maximal two-color chain of edges\, and these moves partition the edge colorings of a graph into edge-Kempe equivalence classes. Ruth Haas and sarah-marie belcastro proved that a 3-regular\, 3-edge-colored\, planar\, bipartite graph has one edge-Kempe equivalence class. In this talk\, we will discuss that proof and speculate on its applications to webs. We will also count the edge-Kempe equivalence classes of some nonplanar\, bipartite\, 3-regular graphs.

Under the assumption that K is absolutely unramified\, I will describe an alternative approach to obtaining such a bound using Wach modules and q–crystalline cohomology. The resulting bound is stronger than the one obtained via Breuil-Kisin theory\, and in particular\, it is able to distinguish the good reduction case from the more general case of semistable reduction.

Unlike other articles of incorporation submitted by sixteenth-century Spanish subjects\, their company was time-bound\, authorized for six years\, focused on extracting the sacred guaca (living site of offerings) of Manducalla. Each investor was identified in a different way\, as an index of their race\, gender\, and artisan status: Hernán Garcia\, of African descent (\"mulato\")\; Mari Flores\, \"his wife\" (\"su muger\")\; Blas García\, of Indigenous ancestry (\"mestizo\")\; and Juan Vallejo\, chairmaker (\"sillero\"). In this talk\, I compare the terms of the 1569 contract with a similar proposal awarded in 1636 by Spanish colonial officials\, treasurers Pedro de Sanabria and Juan de los Reyes\, \"discoverers and knowers\" of a guaca whose rights of extraction they seek to award to Father Pedro Garrido. Unlike the earlier example\, this case dragged on for nearly 20 years. By looking at the legal language of possession\, discovery\, and extraction in the two cases\, this talk examines how race and gender intersected with state-sanctioned sacred and technical knowledge from the late sixteenth-century into the mid-seventeenth century.

Russia Beyond Putin DESCRIPTION:Doors open to the public at 4:30 p.m. Seating will be limited and on a first-come\, first served basis.\n\nKremlin propaganda wants the world to believe that all Russians support Vladimir Putin and his war of aggression in Ukraine. But the reality is very different: beyond the Putin regime\, and despite its breathtaking repression\, many Russians believe in a very different—hopeful\, peaceful\, democratic—future for their country. In this lecture\, Vladimir Kara-Murza\, a Russian opposition politician\, author\, historian\, and former political prisoner who was freed as part of a large-scale East-West prisoner exchange in August 2024\, will speak about the opposition\, the state of human rights\, and the struggle for democracy in Putin’s Russia.\n\n Vladimir Kara-Murza is a Russian politician\, author\, historian\, and former political prisoner. A close colleague of the slain opposition leader Boris Nemtsov\, he has served as deputy leader of the People’s Freedom Party and was a candidate for the Russian Parliament. Leading diplomatic efforts on behalf of the opposition\, Kara-Murza played a key role in the adoption of Magnitsky sanctions against top Russian officials by the United States\, United Kingdom\, European Union\, Canada\, and Australia. For this work he was twice poisoned and left in a coma\; a joint media investigation by *Bellingcat*\, *The Insider*\, and *Der Spiegel* has identified FSB officers behind the attacks. In April 2022\, Kara-Murza was arrested in Moscow for publicly denouncing the invasion of Ukraine and the war crimes committed by Russian forces. Following a closed-door trial at the Moscow City Court\, he was sentenced to 25 years for “high treason” and kept in solitary confinement at a maximum-security prison in Siberia. He was released in August 2024 as part of the largest East-West prisoner exchange since the Cold War negotiated by the U.S. and German governments.\n\nKara-Murza is a contributing writer at *The Washington Post*\, winning the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for his columns written from prison\, and has previously worked for Echo of Moscow\, BBC\, RTVi\, *Kommersant*\, *World Affairs*\, and other media organizations.

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.

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).

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.

Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

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.

However\, the nonlinear nature of rigid body motion introduces significant challenges\, making problems such as motion planning\, feedback control\, and state estimation inherently nonconvex and difficult to solve.\n \nIn this thesis\, I first present a unified modeling framework based on matrix Lie groups\, which captures the rich algebraic and geometric structures of rigid body systems to enable systematic analysis and computation. Building on this foundation\, I exploit the underlying polynomial structures of matrix Lie groups to develop globally optimal and certifiable solutions to these robotics problems via convex optimization. Notably\, I address the kinodynamic motion planning problem — ensuring both kinematic and dynamic feasibility — for 3D rigid body systems with global optimality guarantees. I then introduce the Generalized Moment Kalman Filter\, a novel extension of Kalman filtering theory from linear Gaussian systems to nonlinear polynomial systems with arbitrary noise distributions. This generalization enables more robust and accurate state estimation in complex robotic systems. Finally\, I leverage the geometric properties of matrix Lie groups to design efficient local gradient-based solvers tailored for rigid body systems. In particular\, I present the Riemannian Direct Trajectory Optimization framework\, which ensures geometric compatibility while enabling fast and efficient motion planning.\n \nTogether\, these contributions provide a comprehensive set of tools for certifiable\, efficient\, and geometrically consistent motion planning and state estimation in rigid body robotic systems.\n\n1000 Robotics Atrium\,\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/98764011774 \nMeeting ID: 987 6401 1774 \nPasscode: 83112 UID:134078-21873839@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134078 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building - 1000 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250319T181658 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SMTD Alumni Award Lecture & Reception with Alexandra Beller (BFA ’94\, dance) DESCRIPTION:Join us as the Department of Dance honors special guest artist and dance alum Alexandra Beller as she is presented with the 2024 Professional Achievement in Dance Award from the SMTD Alumni Board.\n\n10–11am - Presentation / Lecture -\nDance Performance Studio Theatre (Studio 1\, Room 1040)\n\n11am–12pm - Lunch Reception with Informal Talk - \nPerry K.

Even compared to other jobs for those without college degrees\, service work is characterized by shorter tenure and less access to full-time hours\, patterns that are visible in national data and are more pronounced for those with children. In novel data collected through daily text-message reports from hourly service workers with young children\, we document additional patterns of volatility that have not previously been visible: in particular\, daily and weekly volatility in work hours. We show that this volatility requires workers aiming to maximize their earnings to set aside many more hours for work than they are actually paid for–on average\, twice as many. We develop novel statistics to capture these forms of volatility and to describe their sources. Finally\, we discuss the implications of these findings for both means-tested programs and earnings-linked tax credits\, the two major forms of income support provided by the federal government to families with children.

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’....

DESCRIPTION:Higher retirement savings might not translate into net wealth accumulation if\, rather than cutting spending\, individuals reduce their non-retirement savings or take on more debt. We use newly merged deposit-\, credit-\, and pension-account data from a large UK financial institution to examine a national policy that gradually increased retirement contributions from 2% to 8% of salary between March 2018 and April 2019. For every £1 reduction in take-home pay due to higher employee contributions\, employees cut their spending by £0.34\, especially in the restaurant and leisure categories\, and financed the remainder with lower deposit balances and higher debt. Those with lower initial deposit balances cut their spending the most\, while those with significant liquid savings first draw down their deposits. We use a lifecycle model calibrated to match the observed short-term responses to predict that long-run spending responses are larger but feature similar heterogeneity. Finally\, we examine the welfare consequences of potential policy reforms using a sufficient statistics approach. A social planner concerned about undersaving for retirement due to heterogeneous present bias would avoid targeting retirement interventions at high-liquidity individuals\, who are both less likely to cut their spending and less likely to be present-biased.

To explain this wealth of defense traits\, researchers have developed a body of theory that uses patterns of ecological pressures in the environment to predict investment in defense\, but the importance of biological and geographic scale in determining which selective pressures dominate is only beginning to be tested. In this dissertation\, I explore the patterns and processes of defense trait evolution in plants\, examining whether defense investment across scales matches up with plant defense theory. Using the wild grape genus Vitis as my primary study system\, I synthesize comparative trait and occurrence data with mechanistic investigations of the processes that shape trait investment. In my first two chapters\, I use a phylogenetic framework to compare and contrast how patterns of trait evolution match up to plant defense theory depending on whether they are evaluated at the intraspecific or interspecific scale\, while considering a large body of traits associated with defense. I found that trait-trait correlations are rare across Vitis species compared to trait-environment correlations\, but that both types of interactions are scale-dependent. These results suggest that defenses in grape largely evolve independent of each other\, but that features of the environment thought to correlate with herbivory pressure are relatively better predictors of defense trait evolution. My third and fourth chapters center on calcium oxalate crystals in plant leaves\, an understudied trait that I use as a model to understand the mechanisms of plant defense evolution. As long as we have known about calcium oxalate crystal presence in plants\, researchers have believed that these structures are defensive against herbivory\, but recent literature has challenged that assumption. Through a systematic literature survey\, I find that crystal morphologies correlate differentially with geographic parameters\, suggesting that this morphological variation evolved in response to different ecological pressures. Additionally\, through experimental diet manipulations using a generalist herbivore\, I find that Vitis riparia-derived crystals do not operate as a defense against chewing arthropods\, but do seem to serve as a dynamic storage system for calcium in grape. By linking phylogenetic comparative and experimental approaches in tests of theory\, my dissertation provides us with a broader understanding of plant defense evolution in wild grape and beyond.\n\nThis is a hybrid event. \nJoin remotely: Join Remotely: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94285293918\nMeeting ID: 942 8529 3918\nPasscode: tuesem UID:133720-21873484@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133720 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biological science,Biology,department of ecology and evolutionary biology,Dissertation,ecology,Ecology & Biology,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,eeb,Graduate School,Graduate Students,Herbarium,Museum - Herbarium,Museum - Zoology,Museum Of Zoology,science,zoology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250313T134409 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE Faculty-Student Lunch: Prof. Julie Ivy DESCRIPTION:Please fill out the form to the right if you would like to attend the faculty-student lunch with Prof. Julie Ivy on Tuesday\, March 25th from 12:00 - 1:00pm!

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.

Little is known about these performers and their work because these “archives of embarrassment” have been obscured by liberal identitarian desires for the “authentic” or “real” Asian American subject. I argue that these performers’ supporting roles\, background parts\, walk-ons\, and other sundry acting or acting-adjacent jobs produce what I call “Asian American non-stardom\,” and that this racialized labor has been foundational to the American entertainment industry.\n\nMelissa Phruksachart is a 2024-25 John Rich Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanitied and Assistant Professor of Film\, Television\, & Media.

One of the central examples of this principle is the noetherianity of the infinite variable polynomial ring R=C[x_1\,x_2\,...] with the action of the infinite symmetric group \frakS permuting variables. In this thesis\, we further develop the equivariant commutative algebra of R by studying symmetric R-modules\, i.e.\, R-modules equipped with a compatible \frakS-action. In particular\, we study the local behavior of such modules over the \frakS-prime ideals h_n=(x_i^n:i\geq 1)\, and prove a number of structural results on the category of symmetric R/h_n-modules\, including giving a semi-orthogonal decomposition and generators for the bounded derived category of modules.\n\nAn important tool for our study is representation theory of various combinatorial categories\, such as a generalization of FI to a weighted setting. By proving an equivalence between weighted FI-modules and modules over infinite variable polynomial rings that are equivariant with respect to parabolic subgroups of the infinite general linear group\, we give finiteness properties of weighted FI-modules\, such as the rationality of an analogue of the Hilbert series and finite generation of local cohomology. Along the way\, we relate the polynomial representation theory of these parabolic subgroups to generalizations of Schur functors from categories consisting of flags of vector spaces.

The advent of state-of-the-art angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with nanoscale spatial resolution (nanoARPES)\, combined with its ability to probe fully functional devices\, has opened new avenues for directly visualizing exotic electronic phenomena in these systems. In this talk\, I will present our work leveraging cutting-edge in-operando nanoARPES to directly map the electronic properties of vdW heterostructures and their functional devices. I will highlight experiments that demonstrate on-demand tuning of the electronic structure by varying the substrate\, twist angle\, alkali metal doping\, and applying an electric field. First\, I will discuss the formation of quasiparticle-like trions and polarons arising from strong many-body interactions in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based heterostructures. Next\, I will present our recent findings on the electronic structure of bilayer graphene on two distinct insulating substrates—hBN and RuCl₃—revealing intriguing new features. Time permitting\, I will also show how electric field tuning can modulate electronic interactions\, leading to van Hove singularities and flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene and twisted double bilayer graphene heterostructures.\n\nBio: \nJyoti Katoch is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University.

As a result\, animals experience various environmental changes that occur simultaneously\, requiring them to cope daily with multidimensional environmental variation. A key approach to addressing the fundamental question of whether and how populations can successfully adapt to environmental variability is to study how organisms respond to environmental changes by modifying their physiology and the consequences of these responses. Traits such as hormones and metabolic rates are not only highly sensitive to environmental fluctuations but also inherently flexible\, allowing for rapid responses that vary across different levels—from species to populations\, to individuals\, and even within individuals. In this talk\, I first describe how the responsiveness of physiological traits to environmental changes\, known as phenotypic plasticity\, can be measured by quantifying the degree of change via the slope of their reaction norm. Second\, I use data from a captive songbird population that I repeatedly exposed to a simulated cold spell\, to demonstrate that important information can be gained by quantifying variation in plasticity both among and within individuals in key physiological traits\, such as plasma concentrations of corticosterone and rates of organismal metabolism. Third\, I highlight the evolutionary implications of such variation in reaction norm slopes by reviewing available evidence that plasticity plays a crucial role in enabling evolutionary adaptation\, including insights from my own work. Finally\, I conclude by describing promising areas for future research and argue that studying variation in physiological plasticity is crucial for assessing the viability of species and populations in our ever-changing world.

With the establishment of the American Association of Teachers of Korean (aka AATK) in 1994\, Korean language education was at a dramatic turning point in terms of practical classroom teaching as well as Korean as a second or foreign language (KSL/KFL) research. AATK will celebrate its 30-year anniversary in 2025 and it is a perfect time to reassess what has been done during the past three decades and what needs to be done moving forward. In this era of globalization and the spread of Hallyu worldwide\, learning Korean language and culture has become a worthy endeavor for many students\, heritage learners and non-heritage learners alike. In this talk\, I will be reflecting on 30 years of Korean language education in U.S. higher education from both practical and academic perspectives.\n \nHye-Sook Wang is an associate professor of East Asian Studies at Brown University.

Drawing on extensive fieldwork in Berlin\, London\, and New York\, she examined motivations for departure and feelings of unbelonging to the Israeli national collective. Amit showed that sexual orientation and left-wing political affiliation play significant roles in decisions to leave. Amit investigated how queer Israeli emigrants question national and heterosexual norms such as army service\, monogamy\, and reproduction\, in their decision to leave Israel. In her new research project\, Amit is conducting interviews with queer Jewish Americans grappling with notions of Homeland and Belonging\, particularly in the wake of the October 7th events and their profound global reverberations.\n\nMeanwhile\, her two fiction books center on queer experiences in Israel/Palestine\, offering intimate\, layered portrayals of life at the margin of society. Her new fiction work deals with a possible loss of the Hebrew language and a possible obsolescence of the state of Israel. \n\nThe conversation with Amit will delve into how these themes converge in Amit’s creative and scholarly practices. It will explore the tensions between rootedness and mobility\, the impact of historical trauma on personal and collective identity\, and the possibilities for imagining alternative futures through queer lenses. Amit will also reflect on the role of storytelling—fictional and academic—as a tool for navigating the complexities of identity\, belonging\, and resistance in times of upheaval.

In highly viscous fluid flows\, the Navier-Stokes equations can be linearized to obtain the Stokes equations\, which are amenable to Green’s function analysis. Due to its relevance in fluid dynamics\, the Stokes equations are widely discussed in physics and engineering literature. Many of these resources use formal calculations and avoid rigorous mathematical justification. To address this gap in the literature\, we will derive the fundamental solution of the Stokes equations in free space and prove some of its key properties by drawing from the theory of distributions. We will then find the Green’s function for the Stokes equations on a half-space by using the Papkovich-Neuber representation. The formula obtained is simpler and easier to implement compared to the classical solution originally developed by J.R. Blake.

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.

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.

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).

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.

She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

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.

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.

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:84303-21621553@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:20250326T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250326T170000 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).

We find there is a stark contrast between the perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of the theory. Semi-classically there is rich physics. However\, when non-perturbative effects are included we see the puzzling feature that there is a unique closed universe state in each theory.

Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky and Its Afterlives DESCRIPTION:In 1938\, the Russian director Sergei Eisenstein finished his first sound film\, Alexander Nevsky\, a historical epic that casts a thirteenth-century Russian victory over invading Teutonic Knights as an allegory of contemporary Soviet strength in the face of Nazi warmongering. Now a classic of Soviet cinema\, the film also boasts what has become one of the best-known musical scores in cinematic history. Composed by Sergei Prokofiev\, the score has appeared in a striking number of formats beyond the film\, from simple piano arrangements to a full-length cantata for orchestra and chorus. These versions have taken the music far beyond the film’s international circulation\, sparking critical debates that are a significant but largely unknown aspect of the film’s legacy.\n\n This presentation follows Prokofiev’s music for Alexander Nevsky from its inception through the present day\, considering both the music’s genesis as well as the surprisingly varied ways it has engaged listeners over the past nine decades\, from its beginnings as state propaganda in the 1930s to showpiece for high-fidelity recording in the 1950s to open-air concert favorite in the post-Soviet 1990s.\n \n Kevin Bartig is Professor of Musicology at Michigan State University. His research focuses on music in Eastern Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, and his published work has contributed to music\, film\, Slavic\, and theater studies. His first book\, Composing for the Red Screen: Prokofiev and Soviet Film (Oxford University Press\, 2013)\, draws on research in Russian archives to examine Sergei Prokofiev’s collaborations with leading figures in the early history of cinema. He further explores these creative figures’ encounters with Soviet censorship and the reception of their work during the Cold War and beyond in his second book\, Sergei Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky (Oxford University Press\, 2017). Bartig’s most recent book is the edited volume Three Loves for Three Oranges: Gozzi\, Meyerhold\, Prokofiev (Indiana University Press\, 2021)\, which examines key modernist developments in twentieth-century Russian theatre and opera. The volume received the 2022 American Society for Theatre Research Translation Prize.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

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.

Morphological traits often follow Bergmann's and Allen's rules\, in which species adapted to colder climates tend to have larger body sizes (Bergmann's) and smaller limb-to-body ratios (LBR) (Allen's rule) to retain heat. However\, neotropical primate research on thermoregulation has focused on behavioral strategies\, overlooking morphological adaptations. I examined Bergmann's and Allen's rules in Alouatta pigra and A. palliata\, sister species that diverged ~3 MYA. Given A. pigra's evolutionary history\, and its thicker pelage and presence in higher altitudes than A. palliata\, I expected A. pigra to have larger body sizes and smaller LBR than A. palliata. I then extended my analysis to backcrossed hybrids of the two species to assess the influence of admixture on body size and LBR in a warmer hybrid zone. My results were consistent with Bergmann's and Allen's rule. Understanding primate thermoregulation is crucial for conservation\, as it sheds light on their capacity to adapt to changing environments.\"\n\nPoster photo credits: Milagros González\n\nThis is a hybrid event. \nTo join remotely: \nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98320971369\nMeeting ID: 983 2097 1369\nPasscode: howler UID:133975-21873738@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133975 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:department of ecology and evolutionary biology,Dissertation,Ecology & Biology,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,eeb,Graduate,Graduate Students,In Person,Thesis Defense,zoology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 4150 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250213T095243 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250326T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250326T140000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:U-M Onboarding: Updated Tools to Enhance the New Employee Experience DESCRIPTION:Course details and registration are available on the Organizational Learning website.

However\, in the past two decades\, valuations have also gained prominence in the theory of matroids. As every matroid gives rise to a matroid polytope\, one can develop a theory of subdivisions and valuations for matroids. In this talk\, we'll introduce valuations on matroids and examine a result of Derksen and Fink which says that Schubert matroids are a basis for matroids modulo valuation.

How were they built? What were they used for? Are there unknown internal substructures\, perhaps hidden chambers that have yet to be discovered? Using the detector technology we developed for a particle physics experiment at Fermilab\, we intend to perform non-invasive searches for hidden structures at the Great Pyramid of Khufu\, in Egypt\, and at the Temple of Kukulkán at Chichén Itzá. The apparatus will detect cosmic-ray muons produced high in the atmosphere that course through the pyramids to produce a tomographic image of their interiors. I will review the status of both projects\, describe in detail the technique we intend to use\, present recent simulation results and detector fabrication and test-beam results.

What we are seeing is not only progress in individual separate areas of plasma physics and technology\, whether it is fusion\, astro/space\, materials or even biomedical applications\; but also growing interconnectivity among these areas.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Roald Sagdeev is a distinguished plasma physicist whose pioneering work in controlled fusion\, and space research has left a lasting impact on the field. Born in the Soviet Union\, he became one of the youngest full academicians of the USSR Academy of Sciences at the age of 35. From 1973 to 1988\, Dr. Sagdeev was director of the Soviet Space Research Institute\, where he played a crucial role in groundbreaking space missions\, including the Venera probes to Venus\, Vega mission to Halley’s Comet\, Phobos missions to Mars’ moons\, and the Soyuz-Apollo Test Project\, the first U.S.-Soviet space collaboration. His leadership helped advance international space cooperation during the Cold War. Dr. Sagdeev has been an influential voice in space policy and arms control. In 1990\, he moved to the United States and became a professor at the University of Maryland\, where he continued his research in plasma physics\, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)\, and international scientific collaboration. Dr. Sagdeev’s groundbreaking work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of plasma dynamics and space exploration\, cementing his legacy as one of the most influential figures in modern space science.

An odd prime p is called irregular if it divides the class number of the cyclotomic field Q(\mu_p). On the other hand\, there are so-called Bernoulli numbers which appear as special values of L-functions. Kummer proved that a prime is irregular if and only if it divides certain Bernoulli numbers. The Herbrand-Ribet theorem is a refinement of Kummer's criterion. Ribet's elegant proof weaves together different facets of number theory\, including modular forms\, Galois representations\, and class field theory. We will explain relevant notions in modular forms before focusing on the construction of Galois representations from cusp eigenforms.

Extreme weather consists of low-probability occurrences with high intensities that often devastate\nsociety\, the environment\, and the economy. Earthen infrastructure such as coastal dunes\, embankments\, and levees can be\ncompromised when their design and construction requirements do not consider the critical conditions they experience. Studies\nconducted using field investigations\, physical and numerical modeling\, and geospatial analysis provide insight into the\neffectiveness of instrumentation and remote sensing. Determining the limitations in data is necessary to frame the sustainable\nsolutions presented.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Spears is a Research Assistant Professor at Tennessee State University. Before earning her PhD in Civil\nGUEST SPEAKER\nEngineering at Jackson State University\, Dr. Spears earned her BSE and MSE in Civil Engineering from the University of\nMichigan and the University of Texas at Austin\, respectively. Following obtaining her master’s\, she worked in the civil\nengineering consulting industry.

DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I present the results of my last paper related to viscosity solutions for HJB equations posed on networks\, of second order type and non degenerate at the vertex. The key point is to use the new boundary condition at the junction point\, called: nonlinear local-time Kirchhoff's boundary condition\, and build test functions with local-time derivatives absorbing the: Kirchhoff's speed of the Hamiltonians. Note that even without the presence of the external local-time variable in the HJB problems already studied in the literature\, the ‘artificial’ introduction of this deterministic local-time variable\, allowed an answer to a Lions-Souganidis problem to the fully nonlinear and non degenerate framework. Finally\, it is important also to emphasize that the comparison theorem for viscosity solutions is stated here in the strong sense for the Kirchhoff’s boundary condition\, namely without any dependency of the values of the Hamiltonians at the boundary\, which is also innovative for Neumann problems in the nonlinear case for viscosity theory.

The complexity of this ecosystem is heightened by its reliance on multimodal data from diverse sources\, demanding robust methods for data integration\, processing\, and analysis. This framework underscores two pivotal components: Biomedical Semantics and Data Intelligence. In my research\, I have actively engaged in these two critical steps\, striving to develop solutions that bridge the gap between data science and tangible clinical and biomedical impacts. Overcoming these challenges necessitates the development of advanced informatics techniques\, including strategies for data standardization and integration\, as well as methods for knowledge representation and subsequent inference and analysis.

This question has a positive answer when varieties are smooth or simple normal crossing\, and a negative answer in more general cases. The emphasis will be on the structure of the Grothendieck ring of varieties and on the groups of birational self-maps of algebraic varieties. This will be an overview of the work of many people in the last 25 years since Gromov's original formulation\, including Larsen-Lunts\, Borisov\, Zakharevich\, Hassett-Lai\, Kontsevich-Tschinkel\, and most recently\, work by Lin and myself.

These matrices arise naturally when looking at the empirical Hessians of many high-dimensional statistical tasks at different points in parameter space\, to probe the local geometry of their loss landscapes. We prove limits for the bulk distribution and any outlier eigenvalues\, in a way that only depends on the point in parameter space through finitely many “summary statistics” of the parameter. This allows us to probe the evolution of the Hessian as one moves through parameter space via some training dynamics like stochastic gradient descent\, establishing interesting phenomena like splitting and emergence of outliers over the course of training in basic classification tasks. Based on joint work with G. Ben Arous\, J. Huang\, and A. Jagannath.

One heuristic that is used to study the absence of such a submanifold is parabolic cohomology–in particular\, if the parabolic cohomology is known to vanish in specific settings\, then it serves as an obstruction to bending along a totally geodesic hypersurface. In this talk\, we consider the Borromean rings complement\, which is known to not admit any closed embedded totally geodesic surfaces but still has interesting parabolic cohomology. We construct a complex of surfaces that can be used to explain these deformations.
