SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Incentives and the Social Fabric of Organizations
DESCRIPTION:When do incentives work\, and when and why do they backfire? How do incentives interact with the social context of organizations in which the incentives are used? This talk presents evidence from a series of field experiments\, and it draws on relational incentives theory to reconcile seemingly divergent findings. In the first experiment\, social recognition incentives had positive and enduring effects on volunteer retention at Wikipedia. In contrast\, a second field experiment in healthcare reveals how social recognition incentives backfired\, undermining physicians’ well-being at work. A third study\, conducted in the same healthcare setting\, shows that a form of participation incentive—a co-creation initiative with physicians—enhanced physician motivation and organizational citizenship behaviors. This research program dissects the reciprocal influences of incentives and social relationships to study how they jointly shape motivation\, behavior\, and well-being\, with implications for designing more effective incentive systems.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Frobenius Identities in Combinatorics (Combinatorics seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Several recent proofs of unimodality theorems in combinatorics rely on unexpected identities satisfied by the volume map on combinatorially defined algebras over fields of characteristic p. The proof of unimodality for the h-vector of simplicial spheres by Papadakis–Petrotou and for the h^*-vector of IDP and Gorenstein lattice polytopes by Adiprasito–Papadakis–Petrotou both fit into this framework. In this talk\, we reinterpret the volume map from the perspective of commutative algebra and explain the origin of these identities. This viewpoint yields short proofs and suggests new research directions. This is joint work with Adiprasito\, Oba\, Papadakis\, and Petrotou.

SUMMARY:Presentation:The Origin of Metals in Galaxy Clusters - Characterizing the Early Enrichment Population
DESCRIPTION:Metals (anything heavier than Helium) are made by stars\, but when and where those stars existed in the Universe is an outstanding problem. X-ray observations show that the hot\, X-ray emitting gas surrounding galaxy clusters\, the intracluster medium (ICM)\, has a nearly universal metallicity of ZICM ≈ 0.4Z⊙. This metallicity is largely independent of stellar fraction\, M∗/Mgas\, and exceeds what is expected from present-day stellar populations under standard initial mass functions (IMFs). This discrepancy is known as the missing metal conundrum. Many theories have been posed to explain this mismatch\, but fault has been found to each when compared with observations. The primary remaining theory yet to be disproved is the existence of an Early Enrichment Population (EEP) - a predominantly high-mass stellar population at z ∼ 10 − 6 that enriched the ICM while leaving a minimal surviving population. In this dissertation\, I develop and test a quantitative framework for the EEP by combining detailed X-ray measurements\, chemical evolution models\, and constraints from supernovae and galaxy luminosity functions. I do this through a homogeneous study of 26 galaxy groups and clusters using archival XMM-Newton data\, measuring radial metallicity profiles and the deriving the relation between ZICM and M∗/Mgas. With this I show that an additional metal component\, ZEEP is required even when updated yields\, remnants\, and non closed-box behavior in groups are taken into account when deriving the contribution from the visible stellar populations\, Z∗. I then construct theoretical models for the EEP\, exploring a range of IMFs and using Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) rates to identify IMFs that reproduce both the required metal yield and present-day observables. I further constrain the low-mass end of the EEP IMF by requiring that the residual light from long-lived EEP stars not exceed the observed luminosity of dwarf elliptical galaxies that dominate the low-luminosity component of cluster luminosity functions. Together\, these results provide the first observationally anchored\, testable constraints on the EEP and its IMF\, and establish concrete predictions for high-redshift supernovae and dwarf galaxy light that can be probed with current and future telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Sensitivity limits from the geometry of nonequilibirum response
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Many biophysical processes can be accurately modeled as a system stochastically exploring a discrete and connected network of possible states. Probability distributions over this space are not only subject to the system's intrinsic noisy dynamics\, but may also be influenced by externally imposed perturbations. While results such as the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem allow for a precise understanding of how such perturbations may affect observable quantities on the system\, these only properly function at equilibrium. Here\, we explore the case of perturbations on nonequilibrium stochastic systems and derive a new response formula based on the Matrix-Tree Theorem approach. In particular\, we derive the tightest possible linear bounds to sensitivity in arbitrary observables based on only the topology of the state network. These bounds stem from achetypical primitive models we call \"uniquely constructable sets\" that dictate the system properties under extreme conditions. As an exploratory example\, we investigate a model of a macromolecule with three ligand binding sites to showcase how the uniquely constructable sets can be used to find all possible variations that are capable of maximizing the sensitivity of the number of bound sites relative to the external ligand concentration.\n\nContact:  AIM Seminar Organizers

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department Colloquium: Dilip Ninan (Tufts)
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Puzzle of Known Violation\n\nAbstract: \nSuppose it is true that I should sell all my possessions and give the money to the poor. Then it would seem to follow that I should sell all my possessions. This piece of reasoning is underwritten by a principle known as Inheritance: if p entails q\, then \"should p\" entails \"should q\". But Åqvist (1967) pointed out some apparent counterexamples to Inheritance: \"Max should have known he was breaking a rule\" does not entail \"Max should have been breaking a rule\" even though \"Max knew he was breaking a rule\" entails \"Max was breaking a rule\". I argue that Åqvist's observation is an instance of something more general: for many p and q where p entails and presupposes q\, \"should p\" does not entail \"should q\". I sketch a semantics that accommodates this fact while still preserving the truth of many instances of Inheritance. Finally\, I show that our discussion has consequences for a rather different debate in philosophy\, as it seems to undermine a recent argument against the knowledge account of assertion.\n\n\nResearch/Areas of Interest\nPhilosophy of Language\, Metaphysics\, Philosophy of Mind\n\nEducation\nPhD in Philosophy\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Cambridge\, United States\, 2008\nMSc in Economic and Social History\, University of Oxford\, Oxford\, United Kingdom\, 2002\nBPhil in Philosophy\, University of Oxford\, Oxford\, United Kingdom\, 2001\nBA in Philosophy\, University of Western Ontario\, London\, Canada\, 1999\n\nBiography\nDilip Ninan received his Ph.D. from MIT\, B.Phil. from Oxford University\, and B.A. from the University of Western Ontario. Before coming to Tufts\, he spent three years as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.\n\nHis research interests include the philosophy of language\, formal semantics\, metaphysics\, and the philosophy of mind. He has worked on the representation of de se and de re attitudes\, the nature of personal identity over time\, and on foundational questions in semantics.\n\nWhen not philosophizing\, he enjoys reading\, running\, cooking\, and skiing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sociocultural Anthropology Colloquium | “Working the Loops: Co-Constructing Painful Bodies and Categories in Thailand”
DESCRIPTION:“In the U.S.\, patients and practitioners usually imagine that pain is a thing\, that one’s approach to it may change how one copes with it\, but not the pain itself. This is connected to medicine’s insistence on a ‘view from nowhere\,’ perceiving nature without changing it. Meanwhile\, STS scholars have long taught us about looping effects between categories and the world. In this talk\, I present ethnography on painful bodies in Thailand\, where the idea of looping between category and reality is part of everyday cosmology. I share about: doctors who worry that giving ‘chronic pain’ a diagnostic code will bring it into being\; monks who suspect that pain equals fear-of-death\, leading them to induce near-death experiences\; anesthesiologists with evidence that poor Thai patients need less anesthesia during surgery (because lifelong pain-as-necessity crafts brains with low-pain neurotransmitter profiles?)\; and patients who dream that pain is a reincarnated being and awake with different pain. Through this ontological adventure\, I ask whether STS might benefit not just from ethically identifying co-constructionism as a sociohistorical force\, but also from examining times and places where people work co-constructionism to their advantage as a matter of course.”\n\nScott Stonington is a medical and cultural anthropologist\, and an internal medicine physician. His research broadly addresses the globalization of biomedical ethics and expertise. His first project in this area focused on decision-making at the end of life in Thailand\, where individuals face a complex combination of ethical frameworks generated by high-tech medical care\, human-rights politics\, and the metaphysical demands of dying. Dr. Stonington spent two years accompanying Thai elders at their deathbeds\, documenting their children’s attempts to pay back their “debt of life” via intensive medical care\, as well as the ensuing “spirit ambulance\,” a rush to get patients on life-support home at the last possible moment to orchestrate the final breath in a spiritually advantageous place. Dr. Stonington’s second project in this area focuses on global debates over the use of opiates for pain management. He spent a year accompanying patients in severe pain in Northern Thailand as they navigated their suffering within a fraught ethical environment\, from Thailand’s brutal drug war\, to its Buddhist-based value for pain as a spiritual path\, to a broader global ambivalence about how best to treat pain. Dr. Stonington’s secondary research agenda addresses medical epistemology in the U.S.\, specifically how health practitioners decide what constitutes true and/or useful knowledge and how this affects patients. This work grows out of his ongoing practice as an Internal Medicine physician\, both in the hospital and in primary care.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Calabi-Yau varieties\, essential skeleta\, and Berkovich spaces
DESCRIPTION:Associated to a Calabi--Yau (e.g. abelian varieties\, K3 surfaces)\, one can associate an essential skeleton\, which lives in the Berkovich analytification of the Calabi--Yau. This skeleton originates from mirror symmetry and captures geometrical and topological information of the Calabi--Yau. For example\, it is related to the birational geometry of the Calabi--Yau\, and in some situations the Calabi--Yau admits a Lagrangian fibration over this skeleton. \nWe will only assume knowledge of the definition of Calabi--Yaus and will introduce by examples.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Marina Suarez
DESCRIPTION:The Early Cretaceous is an important time of transition in Earth History. During this time significant variability in the carbon cycle likely affected the trajectory of the climate system and the evolution of life. Records\, especially continental\, of the Early Cretaceous are still poorly constrained. Even the base of what is considered the Cretaceous System is not clearly defined. To this end multiple investigations are ongoing to improve our understanding of the timing of Early Cretaceous continental rock records and to provide more quantitative paleoclimate records during this important time. Here I summarize the results to date of efforts to improve Early Cretaceous chronostratigraphic constraint of rock records as well as climate records for this time\; especially of the Western margin of the Western Interior Basin and northwestern China). Our efforts so far indicate that many of the Early Cretaceous units we investigate are only partially contemporaneous and for some locations extend deeper into the Cretaceous than previously expected. Climate parameters are consistent with the prevailing interpretations of the Cretaceous as a greenhouse climate\, but variation in these records show instances of cooler than expected temperatures during some times.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Friday Night AI
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is emerging as a powerful tool used in an increasing number of applications\, including efforts to improve how we use and conserve energy\, from optimizing heating and cooling systems in buildings to coordinating smart grids\, forecasting demand\, and identifying new opportunities for efficiency across industries. At the same time\, training and deploying large AI models requires vast computational resources and significant amounts of electricity\, raising concerns about carbon emissions and other air pollution\, water consumption\, and the long-term energy footprint of AI itself. How can we harness AI’s benefits while avoiding the escalating costs of running increasingly large systems? What role can smaller models\, hardware advances\, and new design practices play in making AI more sustainable? Join us for a conversation with experts in AI & systems and energy and environmental law as we explore how to balance innovation with environmental responsibility.  With interactive activities by graduate students Snehal Prabhudesai and Yara El-Tawil\n\nPanelists: Mosharaf Chowdhury\, Alexandra Klass\nModerator: Rada Mihalcea\n\nRada 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.

Previously\, Mosharaf invented the concept of coflows and was one of the original creators of Apache Spark. He has received numerous individual honors\, including fellowships and paper awards from NSDI\, OSDI\, ATC\, and MICRO.\n\nAlexandra B. Klass is the James G. Degnan Professor of Law at the University of Michigan\nLaw School. She teaches and writes primarily in the areas of energy law\, environmental law\, and natural resources law. In 2022 and 2023\, she served in the Biden-Harris administration as Deputy General Counsel for Energy Efficiency and Clean Energy Demonstrations at the U.S. Department of Energy. Professor Klass’s recent scholarly work\, published in many of the nation’s leading law journals\, addresses regulatory and permitting challenges to integrating more renewable energy into the nation’s electric transmission grid\, siting and eminent domain issues surrounding interstate electric transmission lines and oil and gas pipelines\, and applications of the public trust doctrine to modern environmental law challenges. Before joining the Michigan Law faculty in 2022\, Professor Klass was a Distinguished McKnight University Professor at the University of Minnesota Law School\, where she was a member of the faculty from 2006 to 2022. She has been a visiting professor at Stanford Law School\, Harvard Law School\, Uppsala University (Sweden)\, and the University of Arizona Rogers College of Law.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dar Williams
DESCRIPTION:New music!\n\n“It’s a highway\, filled with deep\, exotic colors and beautiful delicate things as well as the perils that come from moving so fast\,” says Dar Williams\, describing modern life. On her 13th album\, Hummingbird Highway\, out September 12 on Righteous Babe Records\, Williams celebrates the colors she glimpses from her vantage as a touring musician. “I was a kid from the suburbs who listened when her hippie teachers said to get out in the world\,” Williams muses. Hummingbird Highway is the latest chapter in a richly unfolding story. Drawing on her experience as a playwright\, Williams populates her latest album with nuanced characters that come alive in the space of a few minutes.

SUMMARY:Performance:Fawn
DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor of Dance Charli Brissey directs and performs in this hour-long show created through interrelated experiments in dance\, writing\, video\, and sound. The choreography includes the design of an original surround sound score which will be experienced “in the round” by audience members\, as well as lighting by Design and Production faculty Jess Fialko.\n\nWhile the word “fawn” is most commonly used to refer to a baby deer\, another meaning of the word describes a trauma response in which someone tries to appease a threat and/or ensure survival through flattery or cringing. The word “fawn” is also commonly confused with “faun\,” a human-animal deity and the protagonist of Nijinsky’s famously controversial ballet “Afternoon of a Faun.” This performance weaves these various etymological and mythological lineages of “fawn” and “faun” into an inherently queer dreamscape that asks questions about grief\, survival\, desire\, power\, and vulnerability in a precarious ecosystem. The performance blends methods and practices from both autofiction and science fiction\, weaving the artists’ lived experiences with speculative experiments in how to hold immense contradictions and overwhelming emotional states in one body.\n\nAge Recommendation: 12+\nTickets Required (free and donation)\n\nhttps://www.charliisananimal.com/\n\n*This performance is made possible through generous support from the University of Michigan Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration Grant (ARIA)\, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG)\, the Research\, Catalyst\, and Innovation Program (RCI)\, and the Department of Dance.*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n     Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n   \n     Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Saturday Morning Physics | Magnets and Amplitudes: A Glimpse into the Quantum Realm
DESCRIPTION:Aaron Chan\, \"Extreme Magnetic Fields: How and Why\"\nLaboratory experimental apparatus can produce magnetic fields up to 100T—about 30 times stronger than hospital MRI machines and 10\,000 times larger than a regular fridge magnet. In this talk\, I will discuss the cutting-edge technology used by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory to produce such powerful magnetic fields and the interesting physical phenomena probed in such extreme environments. \n\nJustin Berman\, \"Bootstrapping High-Energy Theories from Low-Energy Clues\"\nA key goal of particle physics theories is to predict how particles scatter off one another. However\, experimentally probing these interactions at very high energies is extremely difficult. In this talk\, I explain how fundamental principles of physics let us “bootstrap” low-energy data into predictions about high-energy particles\, independent of the underlying theory. By using this bootstrap technique\, I show that we can find upper and lower limits on the masses of particles in an approximation of the real world\, which predict the existence and properties of a massive particle that has not yet been observed.\n\nWe celebrate the Van Loo Family Student Presentations this Saturday!\n\nLecture and Q&A\, live-streamed on: https://myumi.ch/5kVRx

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Performance:BeauSoleil
DESCRIPTION:Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!\n\nFor the past 50 years\, BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet has been making some of the most potent and popular Cajun music on the planet. Born out of the rich Acadian ancestry of its members\, and created and driven by bandleader Michael Doucet’s spellbinding fiddle playing and soulful vocals\, BeauSoleil is notorious for bringing even the most staid audience to its feet. BeauSoleil’s distinctive sound derives from the distilled spirits of New Orleans jazz\, blues rock\, folk\, swamp pop\, Zydeco\, country and bluegrass\, captivating listeners from the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans\, to Carnegie Hall\, then all the way across the pond to Richard Thompson’s Meltdown Festival in England.\n\nTheir most recent album was titled “From Bamako to Carencro\,” alluding the cultural and migratory connection between Bamako\, in Mali\, West Africa\, and Louisiana (symbolized in name by the Lafayette\, LA suburb of Carencro)\, a connection that draws a sonic bloodline back to BeauSoleil’s roots. Since becoming the first Cajun band to win a GRAMMY with “L’amour Ou La Folie” (their Traditional Folk Album – 1998) and then a second Grammy in 2010\, “Live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival”\, BeauSoleil has garnered many accolades\, including twelve GRAMMY nominations. They are regular guests on Garrison Keillor’s NPR show A Prairie Home Companion\, where Keillor has dubbed them as “the best Cajun band in the world\,” and their music is so integral to the Cajun culture that they have been featured on the New Orleans–based hit HBO program “Treme”. Critics unanimously agree that it is “bon temps\, every time they play\,” (New York Times).

SUMMARY:Performance:Fawn
DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor of Dance Charli Brissey directs and performs in this hour-long show created through interrelated experiments in dance\, writing\, video\, and sound. The choreography includes the design of an original surround sound score which will be experienced “in the round” by audience members\, as well as lighting by Design and Production faculty Jess Fialko.\n\nWhile the word “fawn” is most commonly used to refer to a baby deer\, another meaning of the word describes a trauma response in which someone tries to appease a threat and/or ensure survival through flattery or cringing. The word “fawn” is also commonly confused with “faun\,” a human-animal deity and the protagonist of Nijinsky’s famously controversial ballet “Afternoon of a Faun.” This performance weaves these various etymological and mythological lineages of “fawn” and “faun” into an inherently queer dreamscape that asks questions about grief\, survival\, desire\, power\, and vulnerability in a precarious ecosystem. The performance blends methods and practices from both autofiction and science fiction\, weaving the artists’ lived experiences with speculative experiments in how to hold immense contradictions and overwhelming emotional states in one body.\n\nAge Recommendation: 12+\nTickets Required (free and donation)\n\nhttps://www.charliisananimal.com/\n\n*This performance is made possible through generous support from the University of Michigan Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration Grant (ARIA)\, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG)\, the Research\, Catalyst\, and Innovation Program (RCI)\, and the Department of Dance.*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n     Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n   \n     Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Ann Arbor Art + Feminism 2026
DESCRIPTION:Listen to a panel of University of Michigan faculty members talk about creating a feminist\, inclusive\, and more equitable internet\, then participate in a Wikipedia and Wikidata Edit-a-thon. We'll provide a hands-on workshop for beginners\, reference materials\, and lunch from Jerusalem Garden.\n\nWhat would a truly feminist internet look like? Artists and activists who identify as women\, non-binary\, trans\, queer\, Black\, Indigenous\, or people of color only make up a fraction of contributors and content subjects in Wikimedia. As generative AI plays a larger role on the internet\, it is more important than ever to diversify the content. Join us to learn how you can take action to address this imbalance by editing Wikipedia and Wikidata! \n\nThis is the first time Ann Arbor Art + Feminism will incorporate Wikidata as well as Wikipedia. Wikidata can be described as Wikipedia’s structured data counterpart\, designed as an open platform that can be read and edited by both humans and machines. Wikidata ensures that all Wikimedia projects — like Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons — can get their information from the same place. As a freely available information resource\, it also can be used to standardize and enrich other open databases and software. \n\nThis event is in partnership with Ann Arbor District Library\, the U-M Library\, and LSA Technology Services.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Art in the Arb: Make a Mini Glade
DESCRIPTION:Take home a mini glade! Come join us at Nichols Arboretum and make a model forest with dried herbaceous plants. Bring a dried bouquet from your own garden or play with natural materials we provide. \n\nJoin Arb Caretaker Jenna in an interactive workshop exploring landscape architecture\, design\, and imagined futures. Starting with a sketch walk\, participants will look at winter’s leftover plant material and sketch the architecture they see. They will then use these sketches to design the shape and texture of a mini-forest. Using foraged dried blooms and grasses from last summer\, the group will create a mini-forest glued onto foam board. \n\nNo prior art experience is required\; all levels are welcome.  All materials are provided. Bring your curiosity and love for the outdoors!\n\nArtist Bio:\nJenna James is a second-year landscape architecture student and Arboretum caretaker. She has been creating art since she was a teenager and uses these skills to communicate ideas and site analysis in her studies at the School of Environment and Sustainability. Her multi-media practice and appreciation of the genius of botany's unique textures and structural characteristics inspired this workshop that encourages others to create out of what is often tossed away. \n\nLocation:\nThis session takes place at the entrance to Nichols Arboretum located at 1610 Washington Heights.  Upon entering the Arb\, look for the James D. Reader Center\, a large white farmhouse. Follow the ramp or stairs to the main entrance with the green door.\n\nRegistration required: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/p/track/16054

SUMMARY:Tours:Exhibition Tour: Zina Saro-Wiwa: Table Manners Season I
DESCRIPTION:Dive deeper into UMMA’s collection of African art with this tour starting with *Table Manners: Season 1*\, by Nigerian artist Zina Saro-Wiwa.  In this installation\, eight videos portray individuals from the Niger Delta eating meals tied to the region’s cultural and natural landscapes. The intimate dining experiences challenge our assumptions about identity\, culture\, and power. Our tour will then move to *We Write to You About Africa*. Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists—the exhibition directly addresses the complex histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North\, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.\n\nFree and open to the public\, registration required.

SUMMARY:Performance:Telegraph Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Known for their technical prowess and appreciation for the history behind the music\, the Telegraph Quartet brings fluid synchronicity and refined artistry to a program that showcases the work of two contemporary American composers\, Kenji Bunch (b. 1973) and George Rochberg (1918 – 2005). \n\nThe ensemble will perform Kenji Bunch’s String Quartet No. 5\, *Music for a Shared Space*\, and George Rochberg’s String Quartet No. 3. Bunch’s fifth string quartet encrypts beautiful lines from the second movement of W.A. Mozart’s divertimenti\, which pulse throughout the work\, culminating in a joyous\, rocking final anthem. Rochberg’s String Quartet No. 3 was born of profound loss and a longing for meaning. Rochberg breaks from strict modernism and rebuilds his musical world using memory\, woven into something newly vulnerable. The resulting quartet feels like a raw confession of grief and slow recovery of beauty.\n\nOf these two works\, the Telegraph Quartet says:\n\n“Despite being written 50 years apart\, both the Rochberg and the Bunch share a kinship as art that finds its voice and power by embodying the styles of others as their own. Rochberg's String Quartet No. 3 marked a turning point for this composer\, who released himself from only composing in a dissonant\, academically acceptable 20th-century style.  Instead\, he allowed himself what was then the heresy of speaking fluently in the musical language of past composers like Mahler and late Beethoven\, juxtaposing those with his former thorny modernist dialect. Similarly\, Kenji Bunch's *Music for a Shared Space* accomplishes something very similar\; between Afro-funk grooves and rhythm and blues versions of Mozart divertimenti\, we find Bunch moving fluently from one popular style to the next and sweetly mixing that music with those of the past\, continuing this opening of styles\, cultural and chronological\, that Rochberg dared to break open during his time.”\n\n\nABOUT TELEGRAPH QUARTET\nErin Chin & Joseph Maile\, violins\nPei-Ling Lin\, viola\nJeremiah Shaw\, cello\n\nThe TELEGRAPH QUARTET formed in 2013 with an equal passion for standard and contemporary chamber music repertoire. Described by the *San Francisco Chronicle* as “…an incredibly valuable addition to the cultural landscape” and “powerfully adept… with a combination of brilliance and subtlety\,” the Telegraph Quartet was awarded the prestigious 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. The quartet is currently the quartet-in-residence at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe quartet has performed in New York City’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center\, San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre\, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s *Chamber Masters Series*\, and at festivals including the Chautauqua Institute\, Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival\, and the Emilia Romagna Festival. They have collaborated with pianists Leon Fleisher and Simone Dinnerstein\; cellists Norman Fischer and Bonnie Hampton\; violinist Ian Swensen\; and the St. Lawrence Quartet and Henschel Quartett. A fervent champion of 20th- and 21st-century repertoire\, the Telegraph Quartet has premiered works by Osvaldo Golijov\, John Harbison\, Robert Sirota\, and Richard Festinger.\n\nIn 2023\, the Telegraph Quartet released *20th Century Vantage Points: Divergent Paths*\, the first in a trilogy of recordings on Azica Records exploring the string quartets of the first half of the 20th century – an era of music that the group has felt especially called to perform since its formation. *Divergent Paths*features two works that (to the best of the quartet’s knowledge) have never been recorded on the same album before: Maurice Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major and Arnold Schoenberg’s String Quartet no. 1 in D minor\, op. 7. The quartet’s new album\, *20th Century Vantage Points: Edge of the Storm* is out now on Azica Records.\n\nwww.telegraphquartet.com

SUMMARY:Performance:Fawn
DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor of Dance Charli Brissey directs and performs in this hour-long show created through interrelated experiments in dance\, writing\, video\, and sound. The choreography includes the design of an original surround sound score which will be experienced “in the round” by audience members\, as well as lighting by Design and Production faculty Jess Fialko.\n\nWhile the word “fawn” is most commonly used to refer to a baby deer\, another meaning of the word describes a trauma response in which someone tries to appease a threat and/or ensure survival through flattery or cringing. The word “fawn” is also commonly confused with “faun\,” a human-animal deity and the protagonist of Nijinsky’s famously controversial ballet “Afternoon of a Faun.” This performance weaves these various etymological and mythological lineages of “fawn” and “faun” into an inherently queer dreamscape that asks questions about grief\, survival\, desire\, power\, and vulnerability in a precarious ecosystem. The performance blends methods and practices from both autofiction and science fiction\, weaving the artists’ lived experiences with speculative experiments in how to hold immense contradictions and overwhelming emotional states in one body.\n\nAge Recommendation: 12+\nTickets Required (free and donation)\n\nhttps://www.charliisananimal.com/\n\n*This performance is made possible through generous support from the University of Michigan Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration Grant (ARIA)\, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG)\, the Research\, Catalyst\, and Innovation Program (RCI)\, and the Department of Dance.*

SUMMARY:Performance:Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore
DESCRIPTION:An electroacoustic soundscape\n\nJulianna Barwich and Mary Lattimore are longtime friends\, tourmates\, and two of contemporary ambient and experimental music's most celebrated composers. Synthesizing their respective crafts within the walls of Philharmonie de Paris after being given access to the extraordinary instrument collection of the Musée de la Musique in partnership with the French label InFiné\, their new single\, “Perpetual Adoration\,” blends historical harps\, celestial synths\, and Barwick’s singular voice into an immersive electroacoustic soundscape of memory\, spirituality\, and timeless resonance. It is the first piece of new music from the duo since “Canyon Lights\,” a single released as part of 2021’s Adult Swim compilation\, Digitalis.\n\nTogether in improvised dialogue\, voice and instrument — Lattimore selecting an Érard double movement harp (France\, 1873) and Barwick behind a Sequential Circuits PROPHET-5 analog synthesizer (USA\, circa 1975) — the duo channels an immense volume of emotion drawn from a visit to Basilica of Sacré Cœur de Montmartre. On a rainy night\, they saw a sign outside the cathedral labeled \"ADORATION PERPÉTUELLE\" and entered the reverberant space where a nun was singing above organ drones during Sunday Mass. They carried the powerful scene with them into a session. The resulting performance honors both the moment and the history within their instruments: the gilded\, ornate Érard harp\, the first modern pedal harp\, remains open for innovation\, still carrying the simplest\, universally beautiful tone of human fingers on strings. The PROPHET-5 has shaped several decades of exploratory music\, and Barwick continues this legacy. Her skyward synth and vocal lines ascend alongside Lattimore's tender harp strums\, creating a meditation on the restorative power of shared experience.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n     Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n   \n     Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Friezes and geometry
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: A fundamental problem in distance geometry aims to recover a finite tuple of points\, viewed up to oriented isometry\, from a small collection of input measurements. This thesis explores approaches to this problem based on the use of frieze patterns\, numerical arrays whose entries satisfy certain local algebraic relations.\n\nThe thesis consists of two main parts. The first part focuses on quadratic 3-term relations that underlie Coxeter-Conway frieze patterns. It surveys and extends existing work interpreting the values appearing in these relations as geometric measurement data\, and establishes direct connections between several geometric contexts in which these relations arise.\n\nThe aim of the second part of the thesis is to exhibit the broader applicability of frieze patterns as a tool in distance geometry. We identify measurement data that determines a finite configuration of points on a two-dimensional sphere in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Extending the work of Fomin and Setiabrata\, we introduce spherical Heronian and Cayley-Menger frieze patterns that organize this measurement data. Like classical Coxeter-Conway frieze patterns\, these new frieze patterns exhibit glide symmetry and a form of the Laurent phenomenon.

SUMMARY:Well-being:ResNavs #SoYF Plant a Shamrock
DESCRIPTION:It's time for the luck 'o the Irish\, so stop by and plant a shamrock for your very own lucky charm. Here's some trivia: the word Shamrock is derived from the Irish seamróg\, meaning “young clover\,\" and is thought to ward off evil spirits\, either through the Christian lens of the holy trinity or by Druids believing carrying a three-leaf Shamrock would enable them to escape bad luck. It's also from the Druids that the lore of the leprechaun\, a mischievous elf who plays tricks on humans\, began. \n\nShamrocks\, while their stems are seemingly delicate\, are a pretty hardy plant. Requiring indirect sunlight and good drainage\, they'll thrive outdoors in Michigan summers. (We have some personal experience with growing them\, but we used this website for reference: https://www.planetnatural.com/shamrock-plant/.) Also\, don't confuse them: Shamrocks have three leaves\, while clover has four.\n\nThe odds of finding a four-leaf Shamrock are 1:10\,000\, so why not plant your own\, instead? Caring and nurturing nature is a good for your overall wellbeing\, whether or not you're feeling lucky!\n\nThe #SoYF series (Smile on Your Face) are wellbeing breaks designed to introduce students to the eight facets of the Wolverine Wellness wheel\; for more on the U-M Wellbeing Collective\, visit the website on the right under Links.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CommUNITY Seminar with Sylvia Hurtado \"Strategies for Expanding Participation in STEM Research Training\"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Hurtado has two decades of NIH and NSF-sponsored research on a variety of campus practices to enhance participation in STEM research training at the undergraduate and graduate level. The projects move from student experiences toward understanding faculty as campus change agents\, and extending practices for organizational learning and institutional transformation. She will provide key features of recent published studies that focus on building long term change and extending program interventions to embed them in the culture and structure of the institution. Results are based on mixed methods designs that underscore the value of mentoring\, and leadership support for turning faculty-driven initiatives toward adoption as campus daily work.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Axion Dark Matter Searches: ADMX and BREAD
DESCRIPTION:In the early 1980s\, axions and WIMPs were identified as promising dark matter candidates. The last forty years have seen a spectacularly successful experimental program attempting to discover the WIMPs\, with sensitivity that has by now improved by many orders of magnitude compared to the earliest results. The parallel program to search for axions has made less progress and has reached the necessary sensitivity only over a very limited mass range. However\, progress has recently accelerated\, with the invention of many new axion detection techniques that may eventually provide a definitive answer to the question of whether the dark matter is made of axions. I will review some of these new developments with emphasis on Fermilab’s program\, including ADMX-G2 and Broadband Reflector Experiment for Axion Detection (BREAD).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Common Circuits: Hacking Alternative Technopolitical Futures
DESCRIPTION:A digital world in relentless movement---from artificial intelligence to ubiquitous computing---has been captured and reinvented as a monoculture by Silicon Valley \"big tech\" and venture capital firms. Yet very little is discussed in the public sphere about existing alternatives. Based on long-term field research in the Pacific Rim\, Common Circuits explores a transnational network of hacker spaces and projects that stand as potent\, but often invisible\, alternatives to the dominant tech industry. In what ways have hackers challenged corporate projects of digital development? How do hacker-activist collectives prefigure alternative technological futures through community projects? In this talk\, I will address these questions through the analysis of the hard challenges of collaborative\, autonomous community-making through technical objects conceived by hackers as convivial\, shared technologies.\n\nLuis Felipe R. Murillo is Assistant Professor in Anthropology at the University of Notre Dame. His work is dedicated to the anthropological study of the \"commons\" in science and technology with a focus on the intersections between moral economies\, political cultures\, and infrastructures of computing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Extreme Superposition: Rogue Waves of Infinite Order\, Universality\, and Anomalous Temporal Decay
DESCRIPTION:Focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation serves as a universal model for the amplitude of a wave packet in a general one-dimensional weakly-nonlinear and strongly-dispersive setting that includes water waves and nonlinear optics as special cases. Rogue waves of infinite order are a novel family of solutions of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation that emerge universally in a particular asymptotic regime involving a large-amplitude and near-field limit of a broad class of solutions of the same equation. In this talk\, we will present several recent results on the emergence of these special solutions along with their interesting asymptotic and exact properties. Notably\, these solutions exhibit anomalously slow temporal decay and are connected to the third Painlevé equation. Finally\, we will extend the emergence of rogue waves of infinite order to the first several flows of the AKNS hierarchy—allowing for arbitrarily many simultaneous flows—and report on recent work regarding their space-time asymptotic behavior under a general flow from the hierarchy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Igusa stacks and the cohomology of Shimura varieties
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Igusa stacks are $p$-adic geometric objects\, recently introduced by Mingjia Zhang\, that roughly parametrize ways to $p$-adically uniformize (global) Shimura varieties by local Shimura varieties. In joint work with Patrick Daniels\, Pol van Hoften\, and Mingjia Zhang\, we construct Igusa stacks for all abelian type Shimura data and apply them to the study of $\ell$-adic cohomology of Shimura varieties. I will discuss the geometric ingredients that go into the construction as well as how it naturally fits into Fargues--Scholze's framework of categorical local Langlands

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2026 Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Professor Edward Watts\, the Alkiviadis Vassiliadis Endowed Chair and Distinguished Professor of History at UC San Diego\, received his BA in Classics from Brown University in 1997 and his PhD in History from Yale University in 2002. His research centers on the intellectual\, political\, and religious history of the Roman Empire and the early Byzantine Empire. He is the author of seven books and the editor of five more\, including The Final Pagan Generation (UC Press\, 2015)\,  Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher\, (Oxford University Press\, 2017)\, Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell into Tyranny (Basic Books\, 2018)\, and The Eternal Decline and Fall of Rome: The History of a Dangerous Idea (Oxford University Press\, 2021). His most recent book\, The Romans: A 2000 Year History (Basic Books\, 2025)\, traces the history of the Roman state from the 8th century BC through 1204 AD. His work has also been featured in Time\, Vox\, Smithsonian\, the Economist\, the Wall Street Journal\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, British Museum Magazine\, and the New York Times. Before coming to UCSD in 2012\, Professor Watts taught for ten years at Indiana University. He teaches courses on Byzantine History\, Roman History\, Late Antique Christianity\, Roman numismatics\, and the history of the Medieval Mediterranean. \n\nThe Roman citizen body lived an almost inconceivably long life. Between the 8th century BC and the 15thcentury AD\, nearly 100 generations of Romans superintended a political legacy they had inherited from their ancestors and handed down to their children. Nearly every element of Roman life changed during those two millennia. The state expanded from a hilltop settlement into a massive empire. Its center moved from Italy to Constantinople. Its dominant language changed from Latin to Greek. Its weaponry evolved from iron swords and bronze spears to Greek fire and gunpowder. It incorporated countless new gods before ultimately becoming Christian. And yet the thread linking the Roman present to its past never snapped. For all of their history\, Romans used this past to help understand their world and determine the contours of its future. Tradition served as a governor on the pace of necessary change.\n\nThis Thomas Spencer Jerome lecture series introduces the idea of Roman interchronological history to explain how Romans found and maintained this balance between innovation and tradition. Interchronological history recognizes that Roman scholastic\, social\, familial\, and religious traditions created situations in which Romans in the present spoke the words and felt the feelings of figures from the real or imagined past. These ancient situations encouraged people to connect personally and emotionally with figures from the past and made it natural to see in the past a set of frameworks that allowed one to both understand the present and imagine possible futures that might result from it. \n\nThese lectures explain how Roman educational\, family\, religious\, and literary culture produced this way of interpreting the present and imagining the future through deep engagement with the past. They will then show how an interchronological approach to Roman history expands our understanding of everything from the political power of Roman women to the nature of Iconoclasm and the surprising durability of the Roman bond market. By their conclusion\, the lectures will point to new ways to answer questions about the Roman past and suggest non-Roman contexts in which this historical method can also be applied.\n \nProfessor Watts will present four lectures and one seminar between March 9 and 19\, 2026: \n\n• What is Interchronological Roman History? Monday\, March 9\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League\nThis lecture reconstructs an interchronological historical method based on how Romans were educated and socialized to connect with the words\, experiences\, and feelings of people in their shared past in a fashion that ensured their reactions in the moment and plans for the future remained connected to the traditions of the past.\n\n• Interchronological History and the Political Power of Roman Women\, Thursday\, March 12\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League\nUsing an interchronological approach\, this lecture shows how literature\, public commemorations\, and monuments encouraged Romans of both genders to recognize the political power of Roman women by speaking the words of female political exemplars\, feeling their emotions\, and understanding the circumstances surrounding their political interventions.  \n\n• Classical Studies Graduate Student Seminar: Containerization and the Creation of Interchronological Spaces in Imperial Rome\, Friday\, March 13\, 12:00 pm \nThis seminar will look at how the creators and sponsors of a series of monuments in Rome curated space to generate an experience that joined the present in which the monument was unveiled with elements of the past to define a transition to a promised future. Using the theory of artistic containerization\, we will see how each space was designed to showcase elements of the Roman past in a way that channeled specific themes important to both the present identity of the monument’s sponsor and a future they were promising to deliver.\n\n• An Interchronological Approach to Roman Religion and Political History  Monday\, March 16\, 5\;30 pm\, Vandenberg Room\, Michigan League\nThis lecture explains how an interchronological history of Roman religion and politics can help us understand why this basic understanding of the role of the divine in shaping the tangible realities of Roman life persisted as Roman religion evolved from the practices of a small pagan city state into those of a large Christian empire.\n\n• The Failures of Justin II and the Case for Interchronological Roman Macroeconomic History\, Thursday\, March 19\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League \nThis uses an interchronological comparative framework to reconstruct the institutional history of Roman finance and macroeconomics in order to explain how the sixth century emperor Justin II inadvertently crippled Rome's nearly 800-year-old financial system.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n     Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n   \n     Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.
