Among her earlier books\, the new black (Wesleyan UP\, 2011) received the 2012 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award\; semiautomatic (Wesleyan UP\, 2017) received the same award in 2018\, and was also a finalist that year for the LA Times Book Review Prize and the Pulitzer Prize.\n\nShockley's intellectual and creative work takes a variety of forms. Her current research on \"Black Graphics\" concerns the strategies Black poets and other artists (literary and visual) have employed during the recent period characterized by the dominance of \"colorblindness\" ideology. Articles related to this project have appeared in New Literary History\, The Black Scholar\, and Contemporary Literature. Other scholarly and teaching interests include 20th and 21st century African American and African Diaspora literatures\, Black feminist thought\, and contemporary poetry and poetics in the US and beyond. She has placed numerous essays on these subjects in academic journals\, edited volumes\, and broader audience publications\, such as How We Do It: Black Writers on Craft\, Practice\, and Skill\; Furious Flower: Seeding the Future\; The New Emily Dickinson Studies\; Harriet\; The Fate of Difficulty in the Poetry of Our Time\; LARB\; Literary Hub\; The Cambridge Companion to Modern American Poetry\; Jacket2\; and Boston Review\, among others. Since 2021\, she has served as Editor for Poetry (scholarship) at Contemporary Literature. Her poetry has appeared nationally -- in publications like Kenyon Review\, Obsidian\, Poem-a-Day\, The 1619 Project\, The New Yorker\, The New Republic\, Adi\, Lana Turner\, Ploughshares\, The Best American Poetry\, The Paris Review\, Torch Literary Arts\, and Poetry Daily -- and internationally\, with pieces translated into French\, Spanish\, Polish\, and Slovenian. Honors for the body of her poetry include the Poetry Society of America's Shelley Memorial Award\, the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry\, the Stephen Henderson Award\, and the Holmes National Poetry Prize.\n\nFrom her teaching philosophy:\n\n\"In my classroom\, I make every effort to show students clearly how passionate I am about the texts and ideas I'm teaching—how much a poem\, a novel\, or a literary movement can mean to me and many others. They appreciate this\, I think\, in part because it gives them permission to feel passionate about their own relationships to texts\, in turn. When that sense of the power of literature is circulating in the room\, it makes it much easier for me to make palpable for them the historical and cultural significance of the works\, on one hand\, or to convince them of the importance of a line break or an element of plot\, on the other. What I appreciate most is that this becomes a feedback loop\, wherein my own experience of texts that have become too familiar from frequent teaching is reenergized by the enthusiasms (or engaged resistance) my students express.\" UID:132848-21871956@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132848 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:african american,african and african american studies,african and afroamerican studies,African Diaspora,Afroamerican,Black America,Blackness,Feminism,Literature,Poetry,Writing LOCATION:Michigan League - Hussey CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250127T123949 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250313T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250313T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Last Puritan: Norman Holmes Pearson in the American Century DESCRIPTION:Norman Holmes Pearson’s life embodied the Cold War alliance among US artists\, scholars\, and the national-security state that coalesced after World War II. As a Yale professor and editor\, he helped create the field of American Studies and shaped the public’s understanding of literary modernism—significantly\, the work of women poets such as Hilda Doolittle and Gertrude Stein. At the same time\, as a high-ranking spy\, recruiter\, and cultural diplomat\, he connected the academy\, the State Department\, and even the CIA. For Pearson\, this seemingly unlikely combination of the avant-garde and the patriotic was entirely in keeping with his “Vital Center” understanding of American civilization. In this talk\, Greg Barnhisel will give an overview of Pearson’s unique career as scholar\, literary fixer\, secret agent\, and cultural diplomat\, focusing on Pearson’s hidden role in shaping a new understanding of America in the 1950s.\nPlease RSVP here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScyxyKFZL1GKSq7htrxhPjzfeu4h7ZbARC_T3FvLxqSOsolrw/viewform UID:131923-21869545@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/131923 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English Language & Literature,Free,History,Interdisciplinary,Rackham LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3222 - Robert Hayden Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250310T195701 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250313T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250313T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:World Languages Teacher Certification Information Session DESCRIPTION:Thank you for your interest in the World Languages Information Session with Marsal Education.

After enduring nearly 42 years wrongfully imprisoned at Angola State Penitentiary\, Tyler uses his textile-based practice to highlight issues of mass incarceration\, instilling messages of hope and resilience.\n\nTyler first learned to quilt to support the Angola Prison Hospice program\, where he was a volunteer. Notably\, Tyler was the President of the Angola Prison drama program for almost three decades\, using the position to promote a culture of community\, civic responsibility and introspection.\nMaterial\, symbolism\, and quilting traditions are central to Tyler’s work. Since his release in 2016\, Tyler’s applique quilts feature motifs of transformation\, self-portraits and intricate allegorical landscapes\, depicting memories of his time incarcerated\, including the legendary Angola Rodeo and his time as president of the drama program. Through his work\, Tyler honors the lives of those depicted and creates a dialogue around the lasting impact of mass incarceration and its roots in slavery\, with the hope of inspiring meaningful change.\n\nGary Tyler is a 2019 and 2020 Art Matters Awardee\, and in 2024 he received an honorary Doctorate Degree in Art and Design from the Massachusetts College of Art &\; Design. Tyler was awarded the 2024 Right of Return Fellowship by the Center for Art and Advocacy\, as well as the Frieze Los Angeles Impact Prize\, which recognizes an artist who has made a significant impact on society with their work. His work can be seen at the Historical New Orleans Collective Museum in New Orleans\, and is in the collections of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington\, D.C. as well as the City of Santa Monica’s Art Bank.\nPresented in partnership with the Library Street Collective\, with support from the Prison Creative Arts Project.

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.

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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Altermagnetic materials are characterized by collinear magnetic order with a vanishing net magnetic moment\, but nevertheless have a spin-splitting in their non-relativistic electronic band structure. From ab initio calculations we have identified around 60 altermagnetic materials. From a theoretical point of view several physical properties that render altermagnets different from canonical antiferro-\, ferro- and ferri-magnets will be discussed. These include certain spin and heat transport features and piezomagnetic responses. By symmetry in principle also an anomalous Hall effect (AHE) may be allowed and we introduce an altermagnetic model in which the emergence of an AHE is driven by interactions. Quantum Monte Carlo simulations show that the system undergoes a finite temperature phase transition governed by a primary antiferromagnetic order parameter accompanied by a secondary altermagnetic one. The emergence of both orders turns the metallic state of the system\, away from half-filling\, into an altermagnet with zero net moment but finite AHE.\n\nReferences:\n— Y. Guo\, H. Liu\, O.

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.

Despite gains due to these efforts\, higher education and other social institutions are being targeted for their commitment to and investments in DEI\, in favor of race\, identity\, or characteristic specific evasive approaches that do not account for historical and contemporary discriminatory and exclusionary practices that make DEI necessary. Though DEI initiatives are the current target\, DEI only serves as an entry point into higher education with the intent of disrupting and dismantling the institution with academic freedom being another major target. Many scholars across a wide range of fields and disciplines interrogate inequities and disparities within and across groups and are now at risk of their research and scholarship being politicized and demonized due to an intensifying culture war that devalues the merit of such research\, scholarship\, and praxis. During this lecture and panel\, Isaac Kamola\, Associate Professor of Political Science at Trinity College\, will give a speak on the genesis of current attacks on Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion and their implications on academic freedom\, followed by a panel where panelists will consider why attacks on DEI are an affront to academic freedom\, how such attacks impact critical areas of research\, and the impact on higher education and society at large. Lastly\, the panel will imagine possibilities for collaborative strategies within and outside of the academy to counteract these attacks.  \nAfter the event\, a reception will be held in Victors Hall. Boxed food will be available for anyone observing Ramadan to take home. \nNOTE: To attend this session remotely\, please register via this link.  \nEVENT 2: The New McCarthyism: Authoritarianism and the Future of Academic Freedom\nAcademic freedom has continuously been subject to political and governmental pressures operating to censor subjects deemed controversial. Historically and now\, political and governmental pressures have led to McCarthy-esque crusades intent on rooting out alleged idealogues bent on indoctrinating students with “dangerous” ideas. Today\, these attacks on higher education have been turbo-charged\, with a well-funded and well-organized barrage of governmental and political forces operating collectively to undermine academic freedom. Faculty are facing pressures to avoid a multitude of subjects\, including DEI\, gender studies\, climate science\, women’s healthcare\, the Middle East\, critical race theory\, and vaccines. The combined impact of these pressures threatens the vigorous inquiry necessary for advancing human understanding. This panel discussion will consider historic and contemporary political and governmental attacks on higher education\, campus speech\, and institutional responses\, and it will offer suggestions toward counteracting such authoritarian efforts to limit academic freedom.Breakfast refreshments and snacks will be provided during the event. To-go boxes will be available for anyone observing Ramadan to take home. Watch the livestream here: https://youtube.com/live/5RgwMbb7TVM?feature=share\n UID:133146-21872440@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133146 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250120T151032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250314T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250314T120000 SUMMARY:Well-being:\"Let's Talk\": Informal\, Drop-In Mental Health Counseling DESCRIPTION:Trained mental health counselors are now available for drop-in conversations at different times and locations across campus\, including at Trotter\, the Spectrum Center\, South Quad\, the International Center\, and Bursley.\n\nThis informal\, confidential “office hours” style can be a great fit for students unsure about formal counseling\; for those with a specific\, time-limited concern they’d like to talk through\; or those seeking information on campus resources.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Recent advances in dynamic treatment regimes (DTRs) provide powerful optimal treatment searching algorithms\, which are tailored to individuals’ specific needs and able to maximize their expected clinical benefits. However\, existing algorithms could suffer from insufficient sample size under optimal treatments\, especially for chronic diseases involving long stages of decision-making. To address these challenges\, we propose a novel individualized learning method which estimates the DTR with a focus on prioritizing alignment between the observed treatment trajectory and the one obtained by the optimal regime across decision stages. By relaxing the restriction that the observed trajectory must be fully aligned with the optimal treatments\, our approach substantially improves the sample efficiency and stability of inverse probability weighted based methods. In particular\, the proposed learning scheme builds a more general framework which includes the popular outcome weighted learning framework as a special case of ours. Moreover\, we introduce the notion of stage importance scores along with an attention mechanism to explicitly account for heterogeneity among decision stages. We establish the theoretical properties of the proposed approach\, including the Fisher consistency and finite-sample performance bound. Empirically\, we evaluate the proposed method in extensive simulated environments and a real case study for COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n\nhttps://faculty.sites.uci.edu/qulab/ UID:132382-21870849@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132382 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250314T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250314T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621543@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:20250307T123550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250314T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:19700101T000000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Celebrate Pi Day with Michigan IOE!

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).

Common paradigms include diffusion models\, score matching models\, and continuous normalizing flows. In this talk I will first present methods for improved training of flow models using flow matching objectives using ideas from optimal transport. I will then show how these improved methods can be applied to the tasks of (1) modelling cell dynamics\, which allow us to better understand disease programs –leading to a new potential therapeutic pathway for triple-negative breast cancer and (2) generative protein design\, with applications to biologic drug discovery.\n\nBio:\nAlexander Tong is a postdoctoral fellow at Mila with Yoshua Bengio\, visiting researcher at Oxford with Michael Bronstein\, cofounder of Dreamfold—a protein design startup\, and incoming assistant professor at Duke University starting July 2025. Alex completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at Yale University in 2021 with Smita Krishnaswamy. His research interests span generative modeling\, graph signal processing\, and optimal transport to understand biological systems with a focus on cells and proteins.

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.

During the Middle Period (AD 500–1000)\, populations in the oases grew\, perhaps as a result of the incorporation of local communities in the Tiwanaku sphere of influence. Intensive bioarchaeological\, radiometric\, and isotopic analysis of hundreds of well-preserved skeletons from the oases’ numerous cemeteries has revealed a marked diversity of lifeways\, some that conform to expectations and others that defy homogenizing narratives. This work also raises questions about the scales and units of bioarchaeological analysis\, encouraging certain reconsideration but also opening new possibilities for future research.

We propose and explore that various changes in patterns and content of member interactions correspond with changes in the structure of a growing firm. We examine this idea with quantitative inductive analyses of nearly 700\,000 messages\, sent on the Slack platform\, by members of a hi-tech firm as it grew from 40 to 402 employees over 5 years. We use big data quantitative tools to analyze and identify trends in the data and use inductive analyses to suggest theory about the interface of leader behaviors\, employee interaction behaviors and structural changes. Our theory suggests three core arguments: First\, as leaders add new members to the organization\, we show gradual growth in member responding to other people\, which we infer to be an increase in interactions (rather than “mere” statements) that serve to an integration of member efforts. Second\, as leaders assign people to various areas\, we show a lagging but clear uptick in tendency of members to select interaction partners from within their functional area\, which we suggest shows members’ interactions as gradual drivers of the structural grouping of members. Third\, as leaders allocate the organization’s work among functional areas\, we see a (partial\, incomplete\, yet clear) distinction between different functional areas in the content of interactions\, suggesting an emerging division of labor\, or a focus in the types of work different areas perform. Taken together\, our theory suggests a process of convergent structural elaboration of growing firms\, wherein design decisions of leaders and the interactions of members converge over time constructing the structures through which organizational work is accomplished.

A principal seeks to screen efficient agents using one-period contracts\, but is tempted to revise contract terms upon knowing an agent’s type. Alterations of contracts are observable and\, hence\, whenever past promises are broken future information revelation stops. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions under which information revelation can be fostered. For sufficiently patient players\, private information is either never revealed or fully revealed in a sequential manner. Optimal contracts provide high-powered incentives upon initial disclosure of an agent’s type\, and rewards for information revelation vanish over time.

This paper takes as its point of departure a conceptual dependency on a universal category of “woman” that cannot not account for the un-rapeability of Black women. Thus\, brought into focus is a methodological problematic of attending to sexual violence against Black women under colonial capitalist modernity in terms other than its erasure. The pursuit of this methodological problem leads to a pursuit of the ethnographic implications therein.\n\nThe ethnographic gesture\, a Kantian inheritance\, which shuttles between the particular – so-called “lived experience” – and a generalizable\, transcendental principle – is in pursuit of a mediating third term: culture. And it is in pursuit of a mediating third term that I interrogate the concept of “rape culture” as a figuration of the limit of the anthropological axiom that culture is premised on the legitimation of some forms of violent access to women and the foreclosure of others via the incest taboo – that unlocatable process and fantasized moment of rupture from nature that culture was “born.” While rape confuses this boundary\, I argue that opposing rape through recourse to the rights of women is coextensive with the system that permits both the legalization and the confusion of the law of violence against Black women – in capitalist colonial modernity.\n\nIn the idiom of the ethnographic\, the paper weaves together intimate and public discourses around sexual violence in contemporary South Africa\, scenes of coming-of-age under apartheid\, and Fanon’s elaboration of the psychosexual arrangement of colonial society. In turn\, it scrutinizes the fantasies of racial hatred and racial reconciliation that the concept of “rape culture” engenders in order to bring into focus the endurance of the axiom that organizes the false universalism of woman: “Whoever says rape says Black man.” Moving between the paradigm of “rape culture” and its impossible application for Black women\, the paper traces connections between the (im)possibility of attending to the lived experience of anti-Blackness and the psychical structuring of the social field\, enabled by and echoed in anthropological discourse. In the final instance\, the Black woman about whom Fanon knows “nothing” marks the point of departure for an (im)possible ethnography in the zone of non-being.\n\nChloé Samala Faux is the Provost’s Postdoctoral Equity Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at Wesleyan University. She creates social theory by bringing anthropological inquiry into conversation with interventions from Black critical theory\, Marxism and psychoanalysis\, and feminist theory\, to investigate the conditions of Black life and death under capitalist modernity. By way of the conjoined and redoubling discourses of psychoanalysis and anthropology\, her current book project interrogates the psychosexual and sociopolitical (re)-structuring of the family\, to understand both the failures of “transition” in South Africa and the insufficiencies of the culturalism that animates much Black radical criticism.

The Noether-Fano method for proving non-rationality is based on the idea that a Fano variety birationally equivalent to another in a nontrivial way must admit a “very singular” linear system. In this talk\, we will introduce this method and prove that no smooth quartic threefold is rational.

Sedimentary basins also offer important energy\, water\, and mineral resources\, and underground storage capacity for fuels including hydrogen. However\, in urban settings\, the complex structures of sedimentary basins combined with the limitations of the built environment present some of the biggest challenges for recording high quality seismic data\, imaging the basin structure\, and monitoring subsurface changes. We have demonstrated that installing dense seismic nodal arrays can address such critical observational gaps and at the same time\, broaden geoscience inclusivity\, and engage local communities. I will discuss the scientific findings from nodal arrays installed in Yangon\, Myanmar and in the San Fernando Valley\, California. I will also discuss resilience and recovery considerations that motivated hazard-related monitoring in these regions.

Ahmad Al Faqi Al Mahdi\, concerning the intentional destruction of cultural heritage sites by extremists in Mali. A former legal advisor for Amnesty International\, she has carried out human rights missions in most regions of the world. She has been on three missions to Afghanistan\, visiting different regions of the country: in 1995\, 2005\, and 2011\, and has worked closely with Afghan women human rights defenders for many years\, including during the 2021 evacuations.\n \n Karima is the author of “The International Obligation to Counter Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan\,” which appeared in the Columbia Human Rights Law Review in December 2022 and has been translated into Farsi by the Afghanistan Institute for Strategic Studies. In September 2023\, she spoke at the UN Security Council about gender apartheid in Afghanistan. Subsequently\, she traveled to South Africa with Malala Yousafzai to participate in a panel on gender apartheid with the Nobel laureate after her December 2023 Nelson Mandela lecture.\n \n Her book\, “Your Fatwa Does Not Apply Here” recounts the stories of people of Muslim heritage around the world who have battled extremism\, and won the 2014 Dayton Literary Peace Prize.

We will talk about the geometry extensions of (free) groups and the motivations behind such studies. More specifically\, we will give necessary and sufficient conditions for a free extension of a (non-Abelian) free group given by a subgroup of Out(F_n) to be hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic\, in the most general case for the subgroup. We will also talk about hierarchical hyperbolicity of certain free-by cyclic groups. Based on joint works with Ghosh\, and Bongiovanni\, Ghosh and Hagen.

This historical and geographical situatedness of language impacts in substantive ways the grammatical features that a language has\, and also how users of the language define their identities relative to their language (or languages). Although this is true in all contexts where language is used\, post-colonial societies provide particularly rich and complex case studies of how language\, history\, place and identity are intricately related. In this presentation\, I will give an overview of colonial context in which Afrikaans originated\, and then investigate how Afrikaans grammar and the Afrikaans speech community continue to be shaped by the complexities of modern\, post-colonial South African society. I will investigate three case studies\, each demonstrating a different aspect of the complex linguistic landscape in which Afrikaans and its speakers exist: (i) Nasal coarticulation in different socio-ethnic varieties of Afrikaans\; (ii) the phonetic properties of filled pauses in Patagonian Afrikaans\; and (iii) regional and socio-ethnic variation in the front vowel space of Afrikaans.

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

In BLACK HOLE\, three Black dancers share the stage in a narrative of unity\, vigor\, and unrelenting advancement. Their journey originates in the darkness of the titular Black Hole\, understood not as a cosmic void but a metaphorical place of transformation and potential. Engulfed in an evocative soundscape of original music\, sound samples\, and spoken word\, the dancers embark on an hour-long\, uninterrupted journey in movement\, in which their tenacity and grace are emphasized by cinematic video projections and stark\, monochromatic lights. “Another person challenging the traditional views on Black masculinity is Shamel Pitts\, one of the most acclaimed dancers/choreographers of his generation and a shining example of Black excellence.” (Afropunk) UID:121992-21847929@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Advocacy,African American,African Diaspora,American Culture,Ann Arbor,Anthropology,Art,art and design,artists,artists and curators,arts,Culture,dance,Diversity,Energy,Humanities,In Person,Interdisciplinary,Mindfulness,multicultural,music,performance,Storytelling,UMS,university musical society,visual arts LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250311T151308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250315T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250315T235900 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Presented by GISC.

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.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621544@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:20250315T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250315T170000 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.

In BLACK HOLE\, three Black dancers share the stage in a narrative of unity\, vigor\, and unrelenting advancement. Their journey originates in the darkness of the titular Black Hole\, understood not as a cosmic void but a metaphorical place of transformation and potential. Engulfed in an evocative soundscape of original music\, sound samples\, and spoken word\, the dancers embark on an hour-long\, uninterrupted journey in movement\, in which their tenacity and grace are emphasized by cinematic video projections and stark\, monochromatic lights. “Another person challenging the traditional views on Black masculinity is Shamel Pitts\, one of the most acclaimed dancers/choreographers of his generation and a shining example of Black excellence.” (Afropunk) UID:121992-21847930@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Advocacy,African American,African Diaspora,American Culture,Ann Arbor,Anthropology,Art,art and design,artists,artists and curators,arts,Culture,dance,Diversity,Energy,Humanities,In Person,Interdisciplinary,Mindfulness,multicultural,music,performance,Storytelling,UMS,university musical society,visual arts LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241204T112546 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250315T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Steel Wheels DESCRIPTION:New Blue Ridge acoustic Americana with old-time flavors\n\nThe Steel Wheels have long been at home in the creative space between tradition and innovation\, informed by the familiar sounds of the Virginia mountains where the band was formed\, but always moving forward with insightful lyrics and an evolving sound. In 2005\, Jay Lapp (vocals\, guitars\, mandolin) and Eric Brubaker (vocals\, fiddle) joined lead singer Trent Wagler (guitar\, banjo) in forming the band as a vehicle for Wagler’s songwriting. They released several albums under Wagler’s moniker\, before officially adopting the The Steel Wheels name with the 2010 release of Red Wing. Quickly staking their claim as independent upstarts in the burgeoning Americana scene\, The Steel Wheels followed up this release with three more self-produced albums in the next five years\, before joining forces with producer Sam Kassirer for Wild As We Came Here (2017) and Over The Trees (2019). Kevin Garcia (drums\, percussion\, keys) joined in 2017\, bringing a new level of sonic depth and polish to the outfit. Newest member Jeremy Darrow rounds out the rhythm section and grounds the band as they continue to explore deeply rooted yet fresh folk rock sounds.\n\nHaving gained the experience of thousands of shows\, festivals and many miles on the road\, the stubbornly independent band has formed deep bonds with each other and the audience that sustains them. Whether at a joyous summer festival\, in their many shows across the country and beyond\, or in the studio\, The Steel Wheels continue their mission set out over a decade ago\; shaking up traditions to see what sticks\, telling stories\, and joining communities through song.

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.
