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.

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.

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:107870-21818066@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:20250227T121642 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250316T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250316T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:enemies + entities DESCRIPTION:enemies + entities\; one of the most ironic sentences in life. With that irony in mind\, enemies + entities is an exhibition built to propose a question to the current generation regarding how media and interactive experiences are having both positive and negative impacts on each other\; in other words\, becoming each others’ enemies and entities. This exhibition discusses the question of whether or not enemies and entities can co-exist within a single concept or object through the lens of media\, ranging from film\, music\, video\, installations\, and digital media.\n\nOpen Hours:\nMarch 14\, 4 - 9pm\nMarch 15\, 11am - 5pm\nMarch 16\, 11am - 4pm\n\nPresented by Eva Choi (@drmnchld)\, BFA student in Performing Arts Technology\, with support from U-M ArtsEngine.

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:84303-21621545@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250316T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250316T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

Still living and working on the family farm\, Billy has continued writing and recording\, and\, with his brother\, started Holler Fest\, a three-day music festival featuring Michigan artists.\n\nBilly’s versatility as a multi-genre singer-songwriter is matched by his ability on a wide range of instruments from guitar and banjo to keyboards and accordion. \n\nWithin the songwriting community\, he is well-known for his musicianship and originality. In 2007\, his composition\, \"I Don't Write Love Songs\,\" was awarded the Grand Prize in the Great Lakes Songwriting Contest.\n\nInfluenced by master songwriters such as Bob Dylan\, Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon\, Billy crafts melodically compelling songs that maintain a sense of the timeless and classic. Sometimes catchy folk/rock\, sometimes searing blues\, but always direct and thoughtful lyrics - this is original music from an original life\, fully accomplished yet humble\, and most of all real.

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.

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.

Within the expansive field of human-robot interaction\, we explore how two fundamental concepts\, trust and situation awareness\, can facilitate and apply to interactions between humans and robots. Methods are presented for allocating tasks between humans and robots using trust\, understanding team trust dynamics\, and perceiving and enhancing situation awareness.\n\nTo address the problem of allocating tasks between humans and robots\, we present a task allocation method that can allocate both familiar and novel tasks and learn unknown agent capabilities by incorporating trust from a robot.\n\nWe move towards fostering appropriate trust by demonstrating how a team’s trust in and engagement with autonomy did not decrease in a longitudinal experiment\, despite the autonomy’s persistent unreliability. \n\nA multi-phase solution is presented for the problem of improving situation awareness. The solution combines experimentation to uncover how shared mental models and communication factors influence situation awareness\, leading to a real-time situation awareness estimation and robot communication adaptation method that we demonstrate to improve situation awareness and performance.\n\nThe presented work enriches our knowledge on how humans team with robots\, moving closer to a reality where humans and robots harmoniously work in unison to achieve goals.

Yet\, one primary challenge for these powered devices is to achieve seamless cooperation between the human user and the exoskeleton. Fluent human-exoskeleton cooperation mandates mutual adaptation. Humans need to adapt to it as the support from the exoskeleton alters movement dynamics. Similarly\, the exoskeleton must also adapt to the evolving behaviors of its users. However\, current approaches often lack adequate guidance to facilitate human learning in exoskeleton usage\, and many exoskeleton controllers overlook the user’s evolving behaviors during the learning process. Moreover\, the dynamics of co-adaptation between the human and exoskeleton are not thoroughly understood. The dissertation delves into each of these challenges through three primary projects.\n\nIn the first project\, I examined the impact of EMG biofeedback on the use of EMG-based powered upper limb exoskeletons in a tracking task. We found that EMG biofeedback did not lead to large differences in muscle effort reduction (overall or during hold periods) or task accuracy\, possibly due to the need for individuals to have additional support to acquire an appropriate exoskeleton motor program and learn how to effectively utilize the biofeedback information. Nevertheless\, biofeedback may improve participant satisfaction with exoskeleton usage\, which is a crucial factor for encouraging long-term use. In the second project\, I introduced an adaptive controller capable of monitoring user adaptation and utilizing this information for intention classification. The adaptive controller yielded notable enhancements in intention classification accuracy and reduced muscle effort during movement initiation in a target position matching task. In the third project\, I integrated EMG biofeedback with the adaptive controller to promote co-adaptation within the human-exoskeleton team. I also investigated the impact of biofeedback training on novice users’ ability to utilize biofeedback information effectively. The results demonstrated that training enabled users to benefit from biofeedback\, and the co-adaptation process led to optimal exoskeleton usage.\n\nTaken together\, these projects provide critical insights into promoting co-adaptation in human-exoskeleton interaction. They offer an understanding of human and exoskeleton adaptation independently while also unveiling the interactive dynamics of co-adaptation\, advancing the field toward more effective and intuitive exoskeleton systems.\n\nZoom Passcode: 151547 UID:133686-21873403@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133686 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Industrial and Operations Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Industrial and Operations Engineering Building - 2717 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250311T082912 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Science Success Series | Chemistry Majors and Mocktails DESCRIPTION:Connect with current students majoring in Chemistry\, Biochemistry\, and Biomolecular Science.

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

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.

The primary objective is to develop a cohesive architecture for the entire autonomy stack\, ensuring that\, under specific and verifiable assumptions\, a robot can execute its mission while respecting these constraints.\n\nTo achieve this\, we take a bottom-up approach\, beginning with the design of a safety-critical controller and identifying the necessary assumptions for its safe operation. These assumptions impose requirements on upstream autonomy modules\, such as planning and perception. We then develop methods to construct these modules in a way that preserves safety guarantees across the entire autonomy stack.\n\nThe main contributions of this thesis include: (A) the gatekeeper architecture - a flexible framework for establishing rigorous safety guarantees at the planning level\, (B) the development of certifiably correct perception algorithms that not only produce accurate obstacle maps but also provide error bounds to ensure correctness despite odometry drift\, and (C) the introduction of clarity and perceivability - concepts that quantify a robotic system’s ability to gather information about its environment\, taking into account the environment model\, as well as the robot’s actuation and sensing capabilities.\n\nFor each of these contributions\, we provide formal proofs and demonstrate their practical effectiveness through simulations and hardware experiments with aerial and mobile robots.\n\nZoom passcode: opensesame UID:133772-21873545@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133772 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Aerospace Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building - 2300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T063222 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T153000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Career Connections\, Spring 2025 DESCRIPTION:Change the World at a National Lab! You can make a positive\, global impact in science\, energy\, and national security.

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

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

The detector is made of 4 tons of Li-6 doped liquid scintillator divided into an 11x14 array of optically separated segments. The experiment searches for potential short-baseline oscillations and the existence of sterile neutrinos. PROSPECT has already set new limits on the existence of eV-scale sterile neutrinos while achieving the highest signal-to-background ratio on any surface antineutrino detector. The collaboration has developed an upgraded detector design\, PROSPECT-II\, which will increase the detector's statistics and physics sensitivity. In this talk\, I will present the PROSPECT-I results and describe the major design features of the PROSPECT-II detector\, highlighting improvements from the PROSPECT-I detector. In addition\, I will discuss how those add to the oscillation and spectrum results.

For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or in an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation. If you areinterested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers! REGISTER HERE: https://umich.joinhandshake.com/events/1718094/share_preview We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

Geometrically\, unitary Shimura varieties are arithmetic quotients of unit balls which are realizable as the complex points of a quasi-projective algebraic variety. Arithmetically\, this variety descends to a variety over a totally real number field. Integrally\, certain unions of these varieties represent a moduli problem which has an integral structure.

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

In situ probe of the EDL structure and dynamics at the molecular level requires advanced molecular spectroscopic tools with interfacial sensitivity and/or selectivity. In this talk\, I will discuss three recent studies in developing and applying vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as powerful in situ interface specific/sensitive vibrational spectroscopic tools. 1) Using combined VSFG and DFT calculation\, we determine the binding structure of a molecular CO2 reduction catalyst on metal electrodes and interfacial electric field profile in the EDL\, revealing surprisingly large electrode induction effects on molecular catalyst. 2) Using combined SERS and MD simulation\, we obtain an atomistic view of the structure of solvent and ion molecules at the EDL\, revealing an unconventional interfacial water structure change at high negative electrode polarizations in water-in-salt electrolytes. 3) Using time-resolved VSFG\, we directly measure hot electron transfer induced vibrational dynamics of adsorbates on metal electrodes\, suggesting the possibility of plasmon (or light)-enhanced electrochemistry.

Within this framework\, the inverse problem for the KP I equation is formulated as a nonlocal Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) in two dimensions. As part of the asymptotic analysis\, we also determine the long-time behavior of the solution to the nonlocal RHP\, along with its x-derivative.

Does this mean Koreans living in Japan are becoming Japanese? Hwaji Shin’s new book presents a compelling sociological analysis of Korean colonial migrants’ and their descendants’ politics of self-identification and their ongoing struggle for social justice. Centering on the social and political exclusion of Koreans\, the book asks two fundamental questions: What has triggered the historical transformations of nationhood\, citizenship\, and migration policies in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Japan? How are these transformations related?\n \n Hwaji Shin challenges the persistent belief that Japan’s ethno-racial homogeneity is responsible for its restrictive citizenship and immigration laws. She argues that the relationships between nationhood\, citizenship\, and migration in Japan have always been fluid and historically contingent rather than causal or static. Her work examines the nexus of these three concepts from a subaltern perspective and illuminates the ways in which non-state\, marginalized actors directly influenced the state’s development of citizenship and immigration policies. It explores the failures and triumphs of Koreans resisting Japanese ethno-racial oppression through stories of ordinary lives that have been disrupted by wars\, elites’ interests\, and geopolitics. *Being Korean\, Becoming Japanese?* draws on rich historical data to provide a powerful narrative about how Koreans in Japan have defiantly survived and thrived to impact the country’s ideas and policies of nationhood\, citizenship\, and migration for more than a century.\n \n This event is sponsored by the Center for Japanese Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu.

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

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

At the forefront of the struggle to end police violence in the United States\, the story of *The People’s Uncle* chronicles his journey and his work with families affected by similarly brutal experiences.\n\nHambira\, an African filmmaker living in the United States\, uses his storytelling to bridge gaps between marginalized voices across the African diaspora. By documenting Uncle Bobby’s work and impact\, Hambira reframes dominant narratives to emphasize resilience\, activism\, and the interwoven struggles of African and African American communities. This collaboration highlights the enduring ties between the continent and its diaspora\, showcasing how shared histories and experiences of marginalization can inspire collective action and solidarity. Together\, their work not only surfaces suppressed stories but also serves as a powerful example of diasporic unity in the fight for justice and human rights.\n\nFree and open to the public.\nPlease register at: https://forms.gle/KNCKqcZv8VKazHfz5 UID:132623-21871441@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132623 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:african diaspora,African Studies,African Studies Center,Discussion,Film LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250317T172045 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T174500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T195000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Residence Education\, West Quadrangle DESCRIPTION: UID:133947-21873715@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133947 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:West Quad Multipurpose Room #1005 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250307T082853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T193000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jews\, the Academy\, and Antisemitism: How and What Should We Study? DESCRIPTION:Antisemitism on American campuses\, both before and following the attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7\, 2023 is one of nation’s key polarizing issues\, acting as a magnet for virtually every political conflict. The current claims and counter-claims about campus antisemitism require far more careful analysis than is afforded by many of the current debates.\n\nI am interested in opening a conversation about these issues that will examine a broader understanding of the social field in which these debates are currently situated. Some of the components of the social field will include the complex history of Jews in American higher education\, the transformations in scholarship created by the political movements of the 1970s that have been both critical to creating the field of Jewish studies and contemporary theorizing of Israel and Palestine\, and the related political fight to define antisemitism\, including the partisans driving this fight outside of academia.\n\nFinally\, I will turn to recent survey research on Jewish and non-Jewish students’ attitudes and experiences on American campuses that reveals far more complex findings than anticipated by the sociologists who conducted the research. There is an urgent need for scholars to engage research about campus antisemitism with far greater nuance and assertiveness than currently exists.\n\nRiv-Ellen Prell\, an anthropologist\, is Emerita Professor of American Studies at the University of Minnesota. She is the author of Fighting to Become Americans: Jews\, Gender and the Anxiety of Assimilation and Prayer and Community: the Havurah in American Judaism. Among other works\, she has edited Women Remaking American Judaism.\n\nHer scholarly essays\, articles and reviews\, at the intersection of anthropology and history\, engage questions of how American Jewish cultures have been shaped by work\, family\, gender\, antisemitism\, and religious and cultural innovation. In 2017 she curated both a physical and digital exhibition “A Campus Divided: Progressives\, Anticommunists\, Racism and Antisemitism at the University of Minnesota: 1920-1934.” The exhibition was the most widely attended in the University’s history\, which resulted in a student protest movement that called for major transformations in memorialization and priorities at the University of Minnesota.

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).

However\, the massive adoption of AI in research and the assurance of positive societal impact of the output of such research will be possible only when we can address a multitude of technical and ethical issues\, ensure infrastructure and skill building\, and understand the impact of AI on society’s challenges. Collaboration among researchers and organizations regionally and globally is essential. \n\nIn this symposium\, we bring together world-class researchers to share their vision and work\; share “AI journeys” stories - how University of Michigan researchers have been incorporating AI in their research and the lessons they impart to the audience\; and offer sessions for research brainstorming and skill building. \n\nFor a full schedule of sessions and speakers\, please visit our event page: https://myumi.ch/qVXg2\n\nThe intended audience are researchers and trainees regardless of the specific fields of their research and the focus of their intellectual pursuit\, as well as the general public who are curious about AI and its impact on science and humanity.

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

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

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

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

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621546@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:20250303T063215 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250318T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250318T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Virtual Connect w/ Respiratory Therapy Recruiter at Mayo Clinic (Eau Claire\, WI) DESCRIPTION:Join Mayo Clinic Health System for a Respiratory Therapy Virtual Hiring Event! Are you interested in exploring a life-changing career as a Respiratory Therapist in Eau Claire\,WI?  Currently offering a $10k sign on bonus and minimum of $6k relocation funds for those who qualify! Experienced and New Grad Respiratory Therapist are invited to interview with our hiring team at this upcoming event.  *Please note the interview slots that are listed in Central Time Zone.

To interpret this fact\, we develop an equilibrium search model with endogenous firm pay\, amenities\, and hiring. We provide a constructive proof of identification of all model parameters. The estimated model suggests that amenities are important for both men and women and that compensating differentials explain half of the gender pay gap. Equal-treatment policies partly close gender gaps but are not output- or welfare-improving.

Claims\, Complaints and Democratization of the Local State in India DESCRIPTION:Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/4jqew\n\nThe talk will be based on my book project which examines the effects of rights-based welfare expansion in India on local governance and civic action through a comparison between two accountability systems in the state of Bihar\; Social Audits and the Right to Public Grievance Redress Act. Based on extensive field research conducted across six districts\, the book argues that the ritualization of interactions with citizens who have been historically marginalized\, in rule-based settings\, builds a new legal consciousness within the bureaucracy. The book shows how these new openings in the local state\, which combine organic forms of mobilization with induced forms of participation and recognition of individual and collective claims\, builds political capacities through its use\, incentivizes collective action\, and enlivens local democracy. In large part\, these changes can be attributed to the role of state-sponsored but autonomous facilitation and transforming the conditions under which the state listens.\n\nAnindita Adhikari is a political sociologist whose research interests include social movements\, bureaucracies\, the politics of welfare provisioning and democratic deepening. She has been co-teaching a course on accountability and governance for the MPP programme at NLS since 2021.

The Tang-Song Traduction: The Imperialist Agenda behind Naitō Konan’s (1866-1934) Periodization of Chinese History DESCRIPTION:During the 1910s and 1920s\, the Japanese historian Naitō Konan (1866-1934) published a number of books and articles in which he argued that the “modern age” in East Asia began in the Song dynasty (960-1279 CE). The resulting notion of a structural divide between the “medieval” Tang dynasty (618-907 CE) and the “modern” Song dynasty—the so-called “Tang-Song transition”—became foundational to the historiography of the Tang and Song dynasties in Europe and the United States after the Second World War\, even though few agreed that “modern” was an apt designation for the Song period. As the outline of Naitō’s ideas gained acceptance\, however\, the political context of their origin was forgotten. A re-examination of Naitō’s scholarly and journalistic writings shows that his core concepts and arguments derived less from the primary sources than from debates about the legacy of the Meiji Restoration during the 1910s and debates about the future of Japanese imperialism during the 1920s.\n \n Christian de Pee is Professor of History at the University of Michigan. His books and articles analyze the relationship between text and space\, whether in wedding ritual\, tombs\, cities\, literary genres\, or historiography. His latest book\, \"Urban Life and Intellectual Crisis in Middle-Period China\, 800-1100\" (Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press\, 2022) and his latest article\, “Marco Polo’s Baggage: Manuscripts\, Doubts\, and a Mongol Lady’s Headdress” (Journal of Song-Yuan Studies 53 [2024]) are both freely available through Open Access.

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.

These interactions aren’t fixed\; they shift with changing biotic and abiotic conditions\, making their outcomes challenging to predict. My dissertation explores how temperature\, predators\, and plant rewards mediate species interactions across multiple trophic levels. Through experimental studies on indirect defense mutualisms\, fungal microbiome dynamics\, and pollinator communities\, I examine how ecological context shapes the functioning and outcomes of plant multitrophic interactions. As climate change and biodiversity loss reshape species interactions\, understanding the relationships between these diverse groups is all the more important.

In this talk\, I argue that the allure of so-called “precarious accurate predictions”— those where predictive accuracy masks the problematic nature of the underlying reasoning patterns—poses significant ethical and procedural risks. Drawing on insights from philosophy of mind and psychology\, I highlight two ways in which these predictions falter under scrutiny: through their reliance on stealth proxies and their susceptibility to illusions of depth. These in turn establish two unmet desiderata for the effective integration of predictive analytics in automated decision-making: that predictive models address proxy discrimination beyond statistical correlations and distinguish between superficial and deep causal-explanatory connections among features. The talk ends by underscoring the urgent need for a critical reevaluation of the prospective use of automated predictions in legal processes\, cautioning against their expansion into domains like criminal justice\, where they threaten to erode established rights and safeguards.

Oyster resource managers and NERR staff often rely on conventional on-the-ground monitoring approaches to inform management and restoration decisions\, but these approaches have limitations in that they are time consuming and are of limited spatial scale. In response to users' needs for rapid\, standardized and quantitative measures to assess reef condition – which directs management and restoration actions – this project evaluated uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) as a tool for measuring reef changes within five National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs) from North Carolina to Florida. The imagery analysis workflows developed in partnership with oyster resource managers provide quantitative measures of reef structural and demographic metrics and\, importantly\, changes to those metrics in response to natural and anthropogenic factors. Join this webinar to learn more about this enhanced technical capacity for conducting UAS-based oyster reef assessments.

Two decades later\, controversies about whether pirates were agents of empires or enemies of all persist. Benton moves beyond these debates here to gauge maritime raiding’s wider political valence. A single “piratical” cruise reveals the nineteenth-century Atlantic’s vast political spectrum\, encompassing city-states\, federations\, and empires. In cases sparked by the voyage\, the U.S. Supreme Court sought to narrow the definition of states and war. The voyage meanwhile connected to open-ended constitutional projects in Latin America featuring nation-states as one of many political possibilities. A micro-history of one voyage brings into focus the process by which the international order emerged through political fragmentation. The lessons remain relevant to understandings of global order and non-state violence in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.\n\nLauren Benton is Barton M. Biggs Professor of History and Professor of Law at Yale University. Benton’s most recent book\, “They Called It Peace: Worlds of Imperial Violence\,” was published in 2024 and shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize. Previous books include “Rage for Order: The British Empire and the Origins of International Law\, 1800-1850” (coauthored with Lisa Ford)\; “A Search for Sovereignty: Law and Geography in European Empires\, 1400-1900”\; and “Law and Colonial Cultures: Legal Regimes in World History\, 1400-1900\,” which received the Jerry Bentley Book Prize and the James Willard Hurst Book Prize. In 2019\, Benton was awarded the Toynbee Prize for significant contributions to global history.\n\nRespondents:\nJatin Dua\, University of Michigan\nNathan Perl-Rosenthal\, University of Southern California\nJudith Scheele\, School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) UID:133101-21872389@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133101 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,History,Law LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250318T181547 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250318T160000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Baseball vs Western Michigan DESCRIPTION:Baseball vs Western Michigan UID:133057-21872325@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133057 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Baseball LOCATION:Ray Fisher Baseball Stadium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250307T113054 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250318T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Catalytic strategies for the selective construction of sp3-rich organic scaffolds DESCRIPTION:The topological complexity of sp3-rich scaffolds imparts specific beneficial properties into organic small molecules and enables refined tuning of a molecule’s properties. However\, this complexity amplifies both reactivity and selectivity challenges\, making the development of versatile methods to construct and diversify these structures difficult. By combining fundamental advances in transition metal catalysis with organic synthesis\, we aim to discover new reactions to solve unmet challenges in the construction of functional sp3-rich organic scaffolds. In one area\, we have found that identifying “unconventional” ligand platforms for palladium catalysis leads to new reactivity and selectivity in olefin heteroannulation reactions. In another area\, we have found that copper complexes can promote a range of oxidative radical addition reactions.

Plants constitute an estimated 80% of the biomass on Earth and are concentrated in terrestrial environments. Millions of animal species rely on plants to survive and the organismic design of plants and animals have been tightly interwoven in intricate ways over evolutionary time. Humans are no exception. Plants have been a foundational component of human diets across evolutionary time\, yet many plants can be toxic or even fatal if ingested. In this talk\, I will present research exploring the cognitive systems human infants use to negotiate this paradox and learn which plants they can safely eat.

And even though racism and colonialism are closely linked in the modern era\, the beginnings of colonialism have so far been neglected in this context. This talk will therefore examine Greenland and Fennoscandia before 1500 when\, on the margins of Europe\, the Inuit and Sámi became targets of aggressive colonization and assimilation policies during medieval times. These case studies explore colonialism as a failed project (Greenland) as well as colonialism without a moment zero (Sápmi). \"Colonial Contact Zones and Constructions of Race\" thus challenges current narratives in regards to the development of race and racism in the European Middle Ages.

The painting depicts surgeon J. Marion Sims (generally lionized as the \"father of modern gynecology\") and three of the enslaved Black women on whom he experimented in his effort to treat vesicovaginal fistula. \n \nBrowder founded a museum honoring the women depicted in the painting. Her art reimagined the painting by centering the women who made modern gynecology possible — the \"mothers of gynecology\" — and has spurred needed conversations about the history of gynecology and medical racism. In addition to Ms. Browder\, Drs. Aletha Maybank and Veronica Pimentel will speak\, as will descendants of one of the women depicted in the painting.\n \nThe event will mark the occasion of this painting getting a fitting home\, consider Michigan Medicine's dilemmas over whether/how to display it\, and examine the history of gynecology and medicine more broadly. \n \nRegistration required\, seating is limited. A livestream link will also be available after registration. \n \nQuestions?
