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).

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.

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.

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. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818075@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250110T170530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250327T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250327T163000 SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

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:84303-21621554@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:20250303T063208 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250327T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250327T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Cover Letters & Resumes for Internships and Positions Beyond the Tenure Track DESCRIPTION:This workshop is open to all graduate students seeking guidance on cover letters and resumes for positions beyond tenure track roles.It also meets the needs of those applying for internships\, including those applying to the Rackham Doctoral Intern Fellowship Program.

Spin defects in solids possess a far broader set of potential applications\, including for biosensing\, quantum transduction and memory. I will describe some general features of spin-coherent centers in wide bandgap hosts (e.g. diamond\, silicon carbide\, oxides) and the challenges (experimental and theoretical) that must be overcome to produce practical quantum technologies. The main examples will be (1) noise in quantum sensing [1] and its suppression in diamond nanoparticles for biosensing [2]\, (2) crystal field splittings of rare-earth dopants and implications for quantum memory and transduction (i.e. in oxides and GaN) [3]\, and (3) hybrid quantum systems involving magnets [4]. \n[1] PRB 110\, 174450 (2024)\; PRB 110\, 024419 (2024).\n[2] arXiv:2305.03075\n[3] arXiv:2501.03348\; arXiv:2501.03353\; arXiv:2503.12194\n[4] Mater.

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.

First\, we provide the first ex-post microeconomic welfare analysis of this central component of the IRA. Event studies around changes in eligibility for EV tax credits show credits were largely passed-through to consumers. Additionally\, domestic content restrictions on tax credits for purchased vehicles have driven enormous shifts to leasing. Our equilibrium model shows that compared to pre-IRA policy\, IRA EV credits generated $1.87 of US benefits per dollar spent in 2023\, at taxpayer cost of $32\,000 per additional EV sold. Compared to scenarios with no EV credits\, however\, the IRA EV credits created only $1.02 of benefits per dollar of government spending. Second\, we characterize the gains from policies targeting heterogeneity in externalities across vehicles. We find that relative to uniform credits\, differentiating credits across EVs according to their heterogeneous externalities would substantially increase policy benefits. Third\, we quantify tradeoffs in the IRA EV credits between foreign and domestic welfare and between trade and the environment. We find that the IRA EV credits benefit the environment but undermine trade\, since they decrease global carbon emissions but use profit shifting to decrease foreign producer surplus. A controversial IRA loophole that removes domestic content restrictions on tax credits for EV leases has negative domestic benefits.

Contemporary welfare states achieve higher equality by raising revenue from a regressive consumption tax than from a progressive income tax to be redistributed through public expenditures. As Professor Kato will discuss\, the politics of taxation matters for this unexpected consequence among long democracies.\n \n Junko Kato (PhD\, Yale University) is a professor of political science at the University of Tokyo. Her research focuses on comparative politics on taxation and the welfare state\, party coalitions and government formation\, and neuro-cognitive analyses of social decisions and behavior. She has authored articles in *American Political Science Review\, British Journal of Political Science\, Electoral Studies\, Governance\,* in addition to two books\, *The Problem of Bureaucratic Rationality* (Princeton University Press\, 1994) and *Regressive Taxation and the Welfare State* (Cambridge University Press\, 2003)\, and numerous book chapters. Professor Kato served as co-editor-in-chief of *Japanese Journal of Political Science* (2019~2023) and has been on the editorial boards of several journals\, including *British Journal of Political Science* (1996~2016)\, *Perspectives on Public Management and Governance* (2016~)\, and *Journal of East Asian Studies* (2021~). She has launched neuro-cognitive approaches to social sciences and published articles on fMRI experiments of human decision and behavior in *Frontiers in Neuroscience\, Scientific Reports\, and Cerebral Cortex.*\n \n *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu.

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.

Uniting incarceration and capitalism\, the village of Auburn built a prison that enclosed industrial factories. There\, “slaves of the state” were leased to private companies. The prisoners earned no wages\, yet they manufactured furniture\, animal harnesses\, carpets\, and combs\, which consumers bought throughout the North. Then one young man challenged the system.\n\nIn Freeman’s Challenge\, Robin Bernstein tells the story of an Afro-Native teenager named William Freeman who was convicted of a horse theft he insisted he did not commit and sentenced to five years of hard labor in Auburn’s prison. Incensed at being forced to work without pay\, Freeman demanded wages. His challenge triggered violence: first against him\, then by him. Freeman committed a murder that terrified and bewildered white America. And white America struck back—with aftereffects that reverberate into our lives today in the persistent myth of inherent Black criminality. William Freeman’s unforgettable story reveals how the North invented prison for profit half a century before the Thirteenth Amendment outlawed slavery “except as a punishment for crime”—and how Frederick Douglass\, Harriet Tubman\, and other African Americans invented strategies of resilience and resistance in a city dominated by a citadel of unfreedom.\n\nThrough one Black man\, his family\, and his city\, Bernstein tells an explosive\, moving story about the entangled origins of prison for profit and anti-Black racism.

Media measurement suppliers\, from\ncustom research houses to Nielsen\, have scrambled to align different\, sometimes\nincompatible\, data streams and to develop new media metrics to account for all the\nprospects in digital viewership. These moves privileging quantitative data to explain the\nbehavior and choices of the viewer appear to leave a reduced role for qualitative\nresearch methods. Even burgeoning methods looking at individual viewers\, such as\nbiometrics and neuroimaging\, rely on gathering quantitative data as a means of\nexplanation. In the pre-digital landscape\, qualitative methods\, from focus groups to\nethnographies and in-depth interviews\, played a larger part in the audience research\nmarketplace. While the delivery method and formats have shifted\, entertainment still\nrelies on character\, storytelling and connecting emotionally with a media text. All these\nissues can be gauged in a more meaningful way through qualitative research. This\npresentation addresses the role of qualitative research in a digital media environment\nincreasingly defined by media metrics. Without diminishing the value of the developing\nquantitative audience metrics and methods\, the goal is to understand what can be\ngained by returning to specific qualitative research approaches to understand the new\nworld of multiple screens\, multitasking\, social media marketing\, and fragmented\nviewership.\nBio:\nJustin Wyatt is Chair of Communication Studies at the University of Rhode Island. He\nworked professionally for 15 years on both the client and supplier sides of the media\nmarket research industry.

He has published on media marketing\, history and\nindustrial practice over the past three decades.

His work has been recognized with the George B. Dantzig Dissertation Award (2018) and the Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in Operations Research and Analytics (2018)\, as well as best paper awards from APS (2021) MSOM (2023)\, Service Science (2024)\, and PSOR (runner-up\, 2024). Daniel is an AE for Operations Research and Transportation Science and frequently serves on ACM program committees (e.g.\, EC\, EAAMO\, TheWebConf). Before joining MIT\, Daniel received a PhD from Cornell University and was a postdoc in Lyft’s Marketplace Labs.\n\nAbstract:\nIn this talk\, I will give an overview of my recent work at the intersection of humanitarian immigration and operations\, focusing on two scheduling applications: the dedicated docket in immigration courts for defensive asylum cases and USCIS’s prioritization policy for the scheduling of affirmative asylum interviews. Both settings involve service systems designed to evaluate promptly whether or not an applicant should get asylum\, and both settings deviate from traditional FIFO policies. However\, in contrast to traditional service systems\, both settings involve the benefits of waiting. I will discuss how these benefits can be modeled in both applications to capture key performance indicators\, and highlight the impact of scheduling policies on the efficiency and fairness of both service systems.\n\nThis talk is based on joint work with my PhD student\, Wentao Weng. A preprint of the first paper can be found here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4785713. This work received recognition as the 2024 Best Service Science Paper on DEIJ and as the runner-up for the 2024 Public Sector OR Best Paper Award.

Meanwhile\, through the Weil conjectures\, the topology (specifically\, l-adic cohomology) of certain moduli spaces of algebraic functions has had a profound impact on number theory. In this talk\, I will outline a framework for studying the cohomology of the moduli space of algebraic maps Alg(X\, Y) under certain conditions on X and Y. Our methods\, in particular\, confirm the geometric Manin's conjecture\, which predicts an asymptotic estimate for the number of algebraic maps over finite fields\, in the special case where Y is a complete simplicial toric variety and X is a curve. No prior knowledge of algebraic geometry beyond that of a typical first-year graduate student will be assumed.

In particular\, due to physical limitations of hardware-only systems\, it is difficult to develop imaging systems that can capture multidimensional information about dynamic samples at high resolution\, wide fields of view\, and high frame/volume rates. In this talk\, I present several high-throughput computational optical imaging systems from my research that take advantage of parallelized designs and large-scale multidimensional image reconstruction algorithms to achieve spatiotemporal throughputs of several billion pixels or voxels per second. I show that these new imaging capabilities enable high-resolution\, high-speed observation of the behaviors of multiple freely moving organisms in parallel\, in particular ants\, zebrafish\, fruit flies\, and C. elegans. As I start my lab at the University of Michigan\, I aim to continue pushing the boundaries of computational optical imaging to achieve orders of magnitude higher spatiotemporal throughputs to accelerate scientific discovery in biology and medicine.

Time domain microlensing surveys are particularly valuable for finding isolated black holes in our Milky Way. Microlensing probes black holes across the mass spectrum in a relatively unbiased manner. I will present observational results\, including the first detection of a free-floating black hole\, and population simulations that show how sensitive microlensing surveys are to the black hole mass function\, binary fraction\, and velocity distribution. I will also discuss the photometric and astrometric technologies needed to expand the sample of stellar mass black holes know in the Milky Way\, including next-generation adaptive optics systems for precise astrometry\, small space satellites for precise photometry over wide fields\, and large space observatories\, such as the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope\, that simultaneously deliver photometry and astrometry for microlensing events. These technologies and observatories will likely expand the sample of known Milky Way black holes by 100x in the coming decade.

One important class of such modules is the class of local cohomology modules of a ring of positive characteristic. For this class of modules HSL numbers can be connected to various F-singularities\, such as F-nilpotency and F-rationality. In this talk we give an upper bound for the HSL numbers of the local cohomology modules of pointed affine semigroup rings.

The first platform\, pressure-driven droplet microfluidics\, continuously generates sub-nanoliter oil droplets to enable the chemical analysis of equally small aqueous samples. By preloading arrays of sensing oils and controlling their flow\, this system allows for real-time\, multi-analyte monitoring\, making it a promising tool for bedside critical care applications in hospitals. The second platform\, push-pull millifluidics\, integrates a microliter-sized liquid channel with a stepper motor to facilitate controlled extraction between an oil segment and an aqueous sample. Designed for portability and affordability\, this system offers a practical solution for diagnosing and managing chronic diseases in home and small-clinic settings. Unlike traditional optical sensors\, these fluidic platforms uniquely enable the independent tracking of optical signals from the sensor phase\, sample phase\, and interface. Leveraging fluorescence and absorbance detection in the sensor phase\, we have successfully performed chemical analyses on complex biological samples\, including whole blood.

This event honors Rao's 2024 Professional Achievement in Music Award from the SMTD Alumni Board. All are welcome for the lecture (4:30-6:00 pm) and a reception to follow (6:00-7:00 pm).\n\nCantonese opera was woven into the Chinese community's cultural\, financial\, social\, and family life in 19th-century California. Yet excavating its music and performing history is nearly impossible\, not only because of archival hierarchy but also due to various forms of erasure. This lecture addresses the challenge\, particularly the need to 'listen for the unsaid\, translate misconstrued words\, and refashion disfigured lives.'

At the U-M Medical School\, she co-developed and co-teaches the History of Race and Racism in Medicine course for students\, faculty\, and staff\, helping future healthcare providers understand the historical roots of contemporary health disparities. Dr. Kneff-Chang holds a BA in Peace & Conflict Studies from the University of California\, Berkeley\; an MA in Educational Leadership & Policy from the University of Michigan\; and a PhD in Educational Foundations from the University of Michigan.

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).

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.

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 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. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

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.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818076@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250110T153226 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T110000 SUMMARY:Meeting:La Tertulia: Spanish Coffee Hour DESCRIPTION:Spanish Coffee & Conversation Hours\n\nALL LEVELS AND STUDENTS WELCOME!\n- Practice your Spanish speaking skills with students and instructors in a welcoming and relaxed setting\n- Free coffee\, tea\, light snacks\, and baked goods\n- Get advice on courses and discuss study abroad\n\nEvery Friday\, Winter 2025\nJanuary 10 to April 18\n10:00am - 11:00 am\n4th Floor\, MLB Commons UID:130925-21867405@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130925 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Coffee,Community,Culture,Discussion,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Food,Free,Humanities,In Person,Inclusion,Interactive,intercultural,Interdisciplinary,Language,multicultural,Romance Languages And Literatures,Social,Spanish,Talk LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - RLL Commons (MLB 4314) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250110T170530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T163000 SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

We first provide definitive evidence that tariff-exposed firms shifted production to locations that did not face tariffs\, and that domestic prices increased relative to other markets. We then develop a structural model to analyze welfare and employment effects. We find that the tariffs led to modest gains for manufacturers with domestic operations\, but larger losses in domestic consumer surplus and environmental benefits. Furthermore\, the tariffs reduced domestic solar industry employment and wages on net. By contrast\, subsidizing solar panel manufacturing could increase domestic production\, employment\, and welfare.

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:84303-21621555@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:20250325T141849 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T123000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Southeast Asian Noodle Day DESCRIPTION:Join us for Southeast Asian Noodle Day!

Although scholars have often dubbed this phenomenon \"the revolution in logistics\,\" in this paper I argue that the so-called 'logistics revolution' is better understood as a counter-revolution.\n\nAs anti-colonial leaders and trade unions in Southeast Asia pursued economic sovereignty during the “Third World’s” transition to independence\, they nationalized industry\, seized colonial property\, and sought to build national shipping and industrial capacity. To contain this threat to private enterprise\, US and UK shipping corporations\, backed by their states\, pursued the globalization of supply chain infrastructures.\n\nFocusing on a swathe of nationalizations of Dutch and British merchant\, shipping\, and plantation corporations in Indonesia from 1960-66\, this talk examines how shipping containerization only became viable when it aided imperial containment strategy. As I argue\, bringing the history of logistics into conversation with decolonizing workers' and nationalist struggles in Southeast Asia transforms our understanding of the logistics counter-revolution\, positioning it as a reactionary political project that consolidated colonial power into new economic forms.\n\nTracing the historical conjecture of the rise of logistics with the end of formal empire\, I ask: What did the rise of logistics look like from the vantage of the decolonizing of the global south?

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).

In batched adaptive settings where the decision at one stage can affect the observation of variables in later stages\, our asymptotic representation characterizes all limit distributions attainable through a joint choice of an adaptive design rule and statistics applied to the adaptively generated data. This facilitates local power analysis of tests\, comparison of adaptive treatments rules\, and other analyses of batchwise sequential statistical decision rules.

A Biography of Decolonization in Cold War Southeast Asia DESCRIPTION:This paper revisits mid-20th century Asia\, Southeast Asia especially when the promise of decolonization met the perils of the Cold War. Theoretically\, it argues for an eventful geography of decolonization based on the actions\, perspectives\, and biographies of historical actors. Empirically\, it discusses the life and work of Oey Hong Lee (1924-1992)\, a visionary intellectual\, activist\, and journalist from Indonesia. His Indonesian-language book “Asia Won in Dien Bien Phu” (1961) narrates the diplomatic and military struggles between France and Vietnam that ended the First Indochina War (1946-54). In dialog with anti-colonial theorists Aime Cesaire\, Frantz Fanon\, and others\, Oey advanced a regional understanding that balanced contextual nuance with geopolitical imperative. In contrast to his better-known contemporaries\, Oey focused on the regional tensions between decolonization and geopolitical struggle\, analyzing less the universalizing binary between colonizer and colonized and more the specific histories of place\, in this case\, Vietnam and Indonesia. In so doing\, he rejected the regional construct of Southeast Asia as a creature of American-led Cold War machinations in favor of an emancipatory idea of Asia positioned at the vanguard of decolonizing world order. All the while\, Oey navigated a political landscape in Indonesia that\, between 1955-65\, was roiling with Cold War intrigue\, nativist Islam\, and anti-Chinese sentiment that ultimately forced him into exile.\n\n If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact cseas@umich.edu.

Unlike the conventional supervised learning method that treats the model as a black box\, our approach leverages additional model sensitivity information\, extracted via solving forward or adjoint sensitivity equations. This sensitivity information is integrated into the surrogate’s architecture and training process based on rigorous error analysis. We refer to such a surrogate construction as DINO (derivative-informed neural operator).\nDINO offers two key advantages over conventional surrogate construction. First\, it significantly improves the cost-accuracy trade-off for a wide range of models\, often by one to two orders of magnitude. Second\, it directly controls the surrogate Jacobian (Fréchet derivative) errors\, thus enhancing performance in surrogate-driven outer-loop problems that use gradient- and Hessian-based optimization algorithms. We demonstrate DINO’s capability to accelerate infinite-dimensional Bayesian inversion. First\, we show that geometric MCMC driven by DINO achieves a 2–9x speed up in asymptotically exact posterior sampling. Second\, we introduce LazyDINO\, a DINO-driven measure transport method for amortized Bayesian inversion\, which is one to two orders of magnitude more cost-efficient than competing methods.\nThis talk is based on joint work with Michael Brennan\, Joshua Chen\, Omar Ghattas\, Youssef Marzouk\, and Thomas O’Leary-Roseberry.\n\nShort bio: Dr. Lianghao Cao is a Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate from Department of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at California Institute of Technology. He obtained a B.S. in Engineering Mechanics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, and a Ph.D. in Computational Science\, Engineering\, and Mathematics from The University of Texas at Austin. His research blends mechanistic modeling\, uncertainty quantification\, and scientific machine learning to understand\, enhance\, and control the quality\, validity\, and reliability of simulation-based predictions of complex physical systems.

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.

Maier DESCRIPTION:It has been known since 1967 that exposure to stressors over which the organism has no behavioral control produce a constellation of behavioral and neurochemical sequelae that do not occur if an element of behavioral control over the stressor is possible. “Learned Helplessness” points of view developed by me and Seligman explained this difference by arguing that when confronted with an uncontrollable stressor the organism learns that it is uncontrollable\, and that this learning sets off a cascade of events that produce the behavioral and neurochemical outcomes. Here\, controllable aversive events fail to produce the outcomes because they lack the critical element of uncontrollability\, not because they lead to an active process. Recent neurocircuitry work will be described which indicates that this original view had it exactly backwards. Instead\, a) specific circuits (prelimbic cortex to dorsomedial striatum and mediodorsal thalamus to prelimbic cortex) detect/process the presence of control\, and b) when control is detected separate projections from the prelimbic cortex actively inhibit stress-responsive limbic and brainstem structures that are activated by both uncontrollable and controllable aversive events and that are the proximate mediators of the behavioral changes. In addition\, there are strong sex differences in these processes which will be described. Finally\, implications of this neurocircuitry work\, especially for controllable stressor-induced changes in behavior outside the realm of aversively motivated behavior\, such as generalized persistence/perseverance\, will be discussed.\n\nAbout the speaker: Steven Maier has been University of Colorado Distinguished Professor and the Director of the Center for Neuroscience\, and is currently Research Professor. He has received numerous awards including the Grawemeyer Award\, the Norman Cousins and Neal Miller Distinguished Lectureships\, The D. O. Hebb Distinguished Research Award and the Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions from the APA\, and is a Fellow of the APA\, APS\, and AAAS. He has held both career and MERIT awards from the NIH\, has been continuously funded by the NIH for 35 years\, has served on numerous NIH study sections\, and has edited and been on the editorial boards of numerous journals. He has authored or co-authored over 500 scientific papers in refereed journals\, and numerous book chapters. His h-index is 159\, his i10 index is 484\, and his citations are in excess of 90\,000. He has been rated as among the 200 most influential psychologists since World War II by Diener\, et al. (2014).\n\nDr. Maier’s research falls into two broad areas. One centers on an exploration of the variables that modulate the impact of stressors on brain chemistry\, and the neurochemical mechanisms by which stressors alter behavior and mood. Recent work focuses on the role of the medial prefrontal cortex in producing resilience. The other centers on interactions between the brain and the immune system\, with study of both how the brain regulates immune processes and how products of immune cells signal the brain. Current emphasis is on understanding mechanisms of immune-to-brain signaling at pathway\, cellular and molecular levels\, and the implications of these pathways for understanding stress\, mood disturbances\, and cognitive impairment\, and long-Covid.

The forms of visibility\, invisibility (and everything in between) that numbers produce can reinforce or redress inequalities\, shape political processes\, and help to forge or threaten group identities. Drawing on examples from different institutional spheres—educational rankings\, LGBTQ politics in the U.S.\, and political polling in recent U.S. presidential races\, I discuss how the forms of legibility and obscurity\, and the type of comparisons that numbers generate\, can deeply influence where organizations invest\, how they understand each other\, and how groups decide\, predict and protest. I call for greater\, more systematic scholarly attention to the dimensions and relations of quantitative visibility as an important theoretical concept\, and to the conditions the shape its effects\, for those who study quantification and organizations.

For a separate identification\, we consider two reputation-building environments with a two-dimensional belief domain\, where lying without deception occurs in one environment and deception without lying occurs in the other environment as a unique equilibrium phenomenon. The choice data collected in the lab enable us to differentiate between individuals' aversion to making statements that are literally untrue (lying aversion) and their aversion to statements intended to manipulate others' beliefs (deception aversion)\, controlling for inference errors.

This talk will focus on the fibers of these maps. We prove that the stratification on these fibers induced by the natural stratification of $\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}^d$ is a cell decomposition\, doing so by providing a parametrization for each stratum. We also show that the face poset for this cell decomposition is the face poset of a regular CW complex\, namely the interior dual block complex of a subword complex. We prove that these interior dual block complexes of subword complexes are contractible. I will describe several of the ingredients that go into this work\, providing background and examples along the way. This is joint work with Jim Davis and Ezra Miller.

Most think that this fact about belief's aim limits the agency we exercise as believers\, especially since Williams's famous argument that you cannot believe 'at will.' But the structure of intentional action in particular seems to offer hope for a substantive explanation of this fact about belief's aim: when you act intentionally you apply a standard of success to what you do\, and you guide it according to that standard. This talk reconciles these claims about belief with one another. It's true that you can't come to believe that p intentionally 'just like that\,' as Williams pointed out. But it's also true that you can perform all sorts of epistemic accomplishments intentionally: you can figure out whether p\, or determine which thing is F\, come to know why p\, etc. I show how you can perform these epistemic accomplishments intentionally with a model of non-basic action I set forth in detail in my new book Mental Means. The possibility of intentionally performing these epistemic accomplishments can help ground epistemic responsibility\, and thereby also help ground the application of substantive epistemic norms to our thoughts.\" UID:130080-21865281@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130080 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:philosophy,Rackham LOCATION:Mason Hall - 3206 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T063234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:*RSVP required to attend.

He is one of many Black Caribbeans who have been disproportionately diagnosed with psychotic disorders since the 1950s. Tigo believes this is due to the clash between Black Caribbean cultural values and British assimilation practices\, which reinforce anti-Black stereotypes and involve the surveillance and hyper-policing of Black Caribbean communities. According to Tigo\, it is as if Black Caribbean living conditions in London\, shaped by poverty\, police brutality\, and cultural assimilation\, are schizophrenogenic. At the same time\, economic precarity in the Caribbean drives many to migrate. Consequently\, Black Caribbean migrants are more likely to become psychotic. Tigo’s journey illustrates how psychotic Black Caribbeans feel exiled and are faced with the specter of death\, which Frantz Fanon asserts is a structuring fact of Black existence. However\, Tigo emphasizes three pivotal moments of heightened insight that inspired him to develop innovative ideas\, which made his Black existence more “livable.” I refer to these moments as “the fertile moments” of Tigo’s psychosis. \n\nJaleel Mashaul Plummer is a PhD Candidate in the Joint PhD Program in Medical Anthropology at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco. He conducts ethnographic research with Black Jamaicans in England and Jamaica. His research centers around questions of madness\, Blackness\, Jamaican aesthetics\, and Black Jamaican spiritual traditions that concern “postcolonial occupation”. Titled “The Noose of Existence: Blackness and Madness in England and Jamaica”\, his dissertation combines comparative ethnography and critical theory to investigate how Black Jamaican experiences with madness and anti-blackness are marked by social alienation and result in self-fragmentation. The dissertation conveys how this alienation and self-fragmentation are many effects of a persistent British colonial occupation of Jamaican social and psychic life in England and Jamaica. However\, these two phenomena that deeply affect Black Jamaicans with psychosis are present in the artistic work of Brother Everald Brown\, Errol McKenzie\, and other artists known as the “Intuitives”. Through their aesthetic creations\, the Intuitives propagate the political and religious saliences of maddening landscapes wrought with anti-black violence that become breeding grounds of alienation and self-fragmentation. Therefore\, the dissertation demonstrates how Black madness and Intuitive aesthetic creations serve as “mediums” through which we can understand how the lived experience of Black Jamaicans is a struggle with and from the (after)shocks of British colonialism.

An admissible subcategory A of D^b_{coh}(X) is said to be a phantom if its Grothendieck group vanishes. I will describe a recent result of Krah\, which proves the existence of a phantom on P^2 blown up at 10 points.

He will talk about two novels: *Fruta podrida* (2006) by the Chilean writer Lina Meruane and *Distancia de rescate* (2014) by the Argentine writer Samanta Schweblin. Nicolas will show that just as agribusiness has obscured the borders between humans and nonhumans through the creation of genetically modified seeds (GMOs)\, these works blur the limits between prose\, poetry\, and theater to depict the invisible and omnipresent violence of pesticide contamination.

As such\, scholars across disciplines have been devoted to investigating how race and ethnicity feature in every aspect of social and political life. The purpose of I-REP (Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics) is to provide a space for scholars whose research centers race\, ethnicity and politics across a number of fields to receive critical feedback on the early stages of their work (especially graduate students)\, build community with other researchers who share similar interests and offer an opportunity for participants to collaborate on a joint research project within the working group.
