With around 15 subethnic groups\, each with its own language\, traditions\, and religious affiliations—both Christian and Muslim—the true size of Ukraine’s Roma population remains uncertain\, with estimates ranging from 47\,000 to 400\,000.\n\nDespite gradual changes in recent decades\, Roma communities have continued to face marginalization. The full-scale Russian invasion has only intensified their struggles—about 80% of Roma in the occupied territories were forced to flee\, and many have been directly impacted by Russian crimes. At the same time\, some Roma have defied cultural norms and joined the Ukrainian army\, reshaping perceptions of their role in society.\n\nThis talk will explore the rich history and cultural diversity of Ukrainian Roma while shedding light on the immense challenges they face today. Through historical insight and contemporary analysis\, we will examine how war is transforming Roma identity and community life in Ukraine.

The Post-Populist Predicament: On Redemocratization and Rule-of-Law Restoration in Poland since 2023 DESCRIPTION:On October 15\, 2023\, Polish voters elected\, by a wide margin\, a coalition of democratic parties and thus ended an 8-year episode of authoritarian-populist rule. But in contrast to other known cases of populist incumbents’ electoral defeat (Bolsonaro in Brazil\, Janša in Slovenia\, or Trump in the U.S. in 2020)\, the incumbents left a deeply dismantled institutional field\, or rather a minefield of various legal and institutional ambushes meant to render re-democratization extremely difficult\, if not impossible. In such circumstances\, a post-populist government faces a fundamental tension between the aim of depolarization and that of democratic consolidation. The rule-of-law conundrum best illustrates the tension: to respect the rule of law as traditionally\, conventionally understood—as dictating observance of all legal rules in force\, whatever their intent or content—leads to paralysis in a new government’s re-democratization efforts.\n\n Sadurski will offer an account of the post-populist predicament in Poland (not avoiding the question of whether it is truly post-populist) and sketch some proposed solutions to the conundrum. He will show how the post-populist transition is different\, and in many ways more difficult\, than the post-communist transition in the early 1990s\, and how it necessitates some innovative constitutional remedies. He will then explore lessons that can be drawn from the Polish case for future redemocratization of other populist-authoritarian regimes\, such as those in Turkey\, India\, or Hungary today.\n \nWojciech Sadurski is Challis Professor of Jurisprudence at the University of Sydney and Professor at the University of Warsaw’s Center for Europe\, as well as a lawyer\, political philosopher\, and commentator on public affairs. He previously held the chair in philosophy of law at the European University Institute in Florence and has taught regularly at Yale\, NYU\, and Princeton\, as well as at universities in Europe and Asia. He is a member of the Global Rule of Law Commission. Sadurski’s most recent books include *Poland’s Constitutional Breakdown* (2019)\, *A Pandemic of Populists* (2022)\, and *Constitutional Public Reason* (2023). He is a co-recipient of the 2023 Karol Pilarczyk Foundation Award for the “promotion of democracy and the rule of law” by the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences in America (PIASA).\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Her work explores cultural perception and representation\, such as her drawings and prints on pink donut boxes\, which explore the complexities of assimilation and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. Huynh also challenges beauty standards by constructing images of the Asian female body vis-à-vis plastic surgery to unpack how contemporary cosmetic surgery can whitewash cultural and racial identity. \nIn tandem with her Penny Stamps Series appearance\, The Institute for the Humanities is hosting Huynh’s installation\, Angkorian Homecoming\, on display from March 20 - May 2\, 2025 at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. The new series brings together an installation of ornately framed graphite drawings and photographic banners that seek to ritually unite fragments of sacred Khmer Buddha statue heads that were looted from Cambodia. The artist examines Cambodian sculptures that memorialize the Golden Age of Khmer culture from the 9th to the 15th centuries\, particularly the Buddha heads that are currently housed in American art museums and the remnants of the statues' bodies remaining in the temples of Cambodia. Huynh initiates critical dialogues in the pressing matters of repatriation and provenance within the collections of American institutions.\nPhung Huynh has had solo exhibitions at Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills and the Sweeney Art Gallery at the University of California\, Riverside. Her paintings and drawings have been exhibited nationally and internationally\, including spaces such as the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh\, Cambodia. She has also completed public art commissions for the Metro Orange Line\, Metro Silver Line\, the Los Angeles Zoo\, and the Los Angeles General Medical Center through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture. \nPhung Huynh has served as Chair of the Public Art Commission for the city of South Pasadena and Chair of the Prison Arts Collective Advisory Council\, which supports arts programming in California state prisons. She served on the Board of Directors for LA Más\, a non-profit organization that serves BIPOC working class immigrant communities in Northeast Los Angeles. She is a recipient of the City of Los Angeles Individual Artist Fellowship\, the California Arts Council Individual Established Artist Fellowship\, the California Community Foundation Visual Artist Fellowship\, and the Marciano Art Foundation Artadia Award. \nPresented in Partnership with the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities.

Early twentieth-century academics established the discipline of literary studies by excluding readers’ free associations from both criticism and the classroom. Literary studies still lacks productive models for the unscripted work the novel reader’s imagination does when it is\, inevitably\, imagining things other than the words on the page.\nAnd yet\, counterintuitively\, highly descriptive and directive Victorian novels offer a model of inviting and grappling with the reader’s imaginative additions to the fictional world. Novelists from Jane Austen to George Eliot use syntax and prose style to stimulate readerly imagining to go beyond the author’s description at every level\, from plot outcomes to character descriptions.  Especially Eliot: Middlemarch uses negation to make readers’ minds move flexibly between what belongs and does not belong to the fictional world. Daniel Deronda uses “we\,” “us\,” and “our” to coax readers into more inclusive versions of human fellowship. Revisiting Eliot’s extensive use of the first-person plural throughout her career reveals her deep understanding—still little acknowledged in literary studies—of how author and reader together construct the fictional world.\nDebra Gettelman is Associate Professor of English at the College of the Holy Cross\, where she is also Dean of the Class of 2027. She is the author of numerous articles and reviews as well as Imagining Otherwise: How Readers Help to Write Nineteenth-Century Novels\, which was published by Princeton University Press in 2024.

The opening reception will also feature a brief Cambodian classical dance performance by Mea Lath and the Modern Apsara Company.\n\nAbout the exhibition:\n\nInformed by her experience as a refugee\, Phung Huynh’s projects explore the complexities of displacement\, assimilation\, and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n \n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79).

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

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

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

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

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

We investigate this challenge in the Conservation Reserve Program’s auction mechanism for ecosystem services\, linking bids to satellite-derived land use. Three-quarters of marginal auction winners are not additional. The heterogeneity in counterfactual land use introduces adverse selection. We develop a model of bidding and additionality to quantify welfare implications. Alternative auctions increase efficiency by using scoring rules that incorporate expected land use impacts.

Please contact kimjulie@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.\n\nOf her lecture\, \"Proleptic Form: Toward a Poetics of Self Defense\,\" Monica says\, \"In rhetoric\, prolepsis is the anticipation of possible counterarguments or objections in order to answer them in advance. It’s a defensive posture\, one that assumes in advance that the speaker will be criticized or attacked. So it seems appropriate that proleptic form – a poetics of self defense – would be particularly the province of those groups who are accustomed to being attacked\, to constantly rebutting spoken and unspoken accusations of being overemotional\, hypersensitive\, irrational\, lazy\, unnuanced\, non-objective\, trivial\, overly political\, of always playing the race card\, the gender card\, the sexuality card\, the class card\, pick a card. Proleptic form assumes an audience not of the speaker’s tribe\, potentially a hostile audience\, an audience assumed to be in a dominant position in society\, often a White audience\, a cishet audience etc. I’ll look at some well-known examples\, Phillis Wheatley\, Bhanu Kapil\, Robin Coste Lewis\, Claudia Rankine\, Layli Long Soldier\, and Paul Tran and try to identify certain characteristics of proleptic form.\"\n \nMonica Youn is the author of four poetry collections\, most recently *FROM FROM*\, which won the Anisfield-Wolf Award and was a finalist for the 2023 National Book Award. It was also named a *New York Times Book Review Notable Book* and Best Poetry Book of 2023 and was a *Time*\, *NPR*\, *Publishers Weekly*\, *Library Journal*\, and *Electric Literature* Best Book of 2023. She has been awarded the Levinson Prize from the Poetry Foundation\, the William Carlos Williams Award of the Poetry Society of America\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a Witter Bytter Fellowship from the Library of Congress\, and a Stegner Fellowship.

Svensson will give a presentation titled\, \"Accelerating Impact: Resource Mobilization and Innovation in Sport for Development.\" Light refreshments served. SKB room 2080 (directly above Diag entrance).\n\nRSVP: https://myumi.ch/ny52k\n\nAbstract: The field of sport for development and peace has attracted significant attention and has become increasingly formalized during the past 25-30 years. These types of organizations intentionally leverage sport for the purpose of achieving a set of social change-focused outcomes. The aim of this presentation is to share my personal journey of seeking to help such community-based sport organizations better serve their social missions. First\, I will highlight the unique context of sport for development and peace organizations for studying resource mobilization and organizational capacity. Second\, I will explore how these sport organizations have enabled important advances on social innovation within resource-constrained environments. Third\, I will discuss the development of experimental ways for advancing knowledge and developing more impactful ways for supporting the future generation of sport for social change organizations. Last\, I will reflect on my experience in publishing across top-ranked journals both within and outside of the sport management discipline on non-mainstream topics and contexts. In doing so\, I aim to identify key lessons learned for accelerating impact both in practice and in scholarship through sport management research. Additionally\, I will endeavor to identify expected future trends in flagship journals within sport management.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: An adaptive intervention is a sequence of decision rules that guide the provision of intervention at critical decision points based on the evolving needs of individuals. In many health\, education and policy settings\, adaptive interventions target clusters of individuals (e.g.\, clinics or schools)\, with the intent of improving outcomes at the level of individuals. These are called clustered adaptive interventions (cAIs). Clustered\, sequential\, multiple-assignment\, randomized trials (cSMART) can be used to form high-quality clustered adaptive interventions. This non-technical talk introduces clustered adaptive interventions and cSMARTs\, and presents current and past research concerning the design and analysis of cSMARTs. This includes recent work with University of Michigan students on finite-sample adjustment methods for the marginal mean comparison of cAIs (with W. Pan)\, an extension of moderator analyses using ideas from Q-learning (with Y. Song)\, and a three-level analysis method (with G. Durham)—i.e.\, repeated measures nested within individuals\, nested within clusters. It also includes a new cSMART design for the construction of event-triggered cAIs (with M. Ferlic). Time-permitting\, the talk ends by describing current challenges in the design and analysis of multilevel SMARTs\, a special type of clustered SMART\, whereby nested groups of individuals are randomized sequentially (e.g.\, a clinic-level randomization followed by a doctor-within-clinic-level randomization) leading to interesting questions concerning causal spillover. Throughout\, I draw on multiple examples from implementation science\, a relatively new area that concerns the optimization and evaluation of clustered interventions to improve the adoption of evidence-based practices.\n\n\nhttps://d3c.isr.umich.edu/person/daniel-almirall/ UID:132384-21870851@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132384 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250213T114128 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250321T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250321T110000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UM Structure Seminar: Cryo-EM structure of eukaryotic fluoride exporter (FEX) reveals fluoride transport mechanism DESCRIPTION:Graduate Student\nStockbridge and Ohi Labs UID:132747-21871674@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132747 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Structural Biology LOCATION:Life Sciences Institute - LSI Library CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250321T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250321T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621549@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250306T114215 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250321T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250321T114500 SUMMARY:Performance:The Politics of Theater: A Conversation with Professor Juliet Guzzetta (MSU) & Italian Author & Actor Giuliana Musso DESCRIPTION:Can the live arts address societal urgent issues and if so\, how? Join us for a conversation about what it means to do political theater in today's world with award-winning Italian author and actor Giuliana Musso and theater studies scholar Juliet Guzzetta (MSU). \n\nThis conversation follows the *Dentro (Inside)* performance at the Wharton Center for the Performing Arts in East Lansing on Thursday\, March 20th. The Department of Romance Languages and Literatures has set tickets aside for students interested in the play and is also organizing a shuttle to drive students and faculty to the performance Thursday night. Seats are limited so please sign up here if interested. \n\nAttendance to the play is not necessary to be part of this conversation which will touch upon questions of theater\, political engagement\, and activism more broadly.\n\nABOUT JULIET GUZZETTA AND GULIANA MUSSO:\n\n*Juliet Guzzetta* is Associate Professor with joint appointments in the Department of English and the Department of Romance and Classical Studies at Michigan State University. Her first book\, The Theater of Narration: From the Peripheries of History to the Main Stages of Italy (Northwestern UP\, 2021\; honorable mention\, MLA\, Scaglione Publication Award in Italian Literary Studies\; translation in Italian by Accademia University Press\, 2023)\, explores a form of contemporary solo theater in its historical\, political\, and performative dimensions. In addition to numerous essays in journals and edited volumes\, she recently co-edited an issue of gender/sexuality/italy on the concept of “conservative feminisms” with Ombretta Frau\, and published a translation of Giuliana Musso's *Dentro*. Una storia vera se volete. Currently she is co-editing a collection on Italian feminist thought with Graziella Parati titled *Italian Feminisms: Transnational Praxes for Today and Tomorrow*. She was recently awarded a 12-month Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities for her current monograph in progress\, *Acting Class: Lessons from Franca Rame*\, which centers Rame’s performances and activism as a model for political discourse\, socially committed artistry\, and grounded wide-ranging critique.\n\n*Giuliana Musso* is an acclaimed Italian playwright\, actress\, and director\, celebrated for her impactful storytelling and exploration of complex societal issues through the medium of documentary theatre. Over her two-decade career\, Musso has written plays that merge fiction with real-life accounts\, focusing on themes such as gender\, identity\, and human rights. Among her most recognized works are Nati in casa\, which portrays the intimate world of Italian midwifery and birth\, Sexmachine\, an exploration of masculinity and vulnerability\, and Mio eroe\, which examines families affected by war and the nuanced concept of heroism. Her recent play\, *Dentro* examines the private struggles and unspoken truths that shape individuals\, inviting the audience to confront the emotional landscapes that often remain unseen. Musso’s unique blend of empathy\, incisive social commentary\, and humor has cemented her as a significant voice in contemporary European theatre\, earning her numerous accolades and a devoted following.

On Friday\, March 21st\, we will meet for our next open Office Hours session to troubleshoot participant projects. Register and learn more: https://nebigdatahub.org/drm-project/ The Data &\; Research Methods project is perfect for beginners who have never worked with a dataset before. This project will also be helpful for advanced data science students who have little experience working with data cleaning or survey building\, desk research\, or data visualizations. The focus of this project is the research process as a whole.It is the first day of your new job as the Junior Data Scientist for the Office of the Mayor in the fictional town of Data Lake\, West Dakota. The population of Data Lake (314\,159) has grown rapidly since 2020 as a number of remote workers have relocated to the mid-size city. Mayor “Tess Ellation” has tasked your office with a project – to learn more about the specific needs of the town’s new remote work population. She asks you to review data on remote workers provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and come back to her with at least two data-driven policy recommendations which will support these new Data Lake families (for example\, a policy recommendation might be: build new coworking spaces downtown). Your policy recommendationsmust be informed by data analysis or Mayor Ellation will not adopt them. Participants will clean a dataset\, learn about the ethics of datascience research\, do some preliminary analysis\, and develop a working hypothesis about the impact of remote work policies. You'll build some simple data visualizations\, test your hypotheses\, write up a short conclusion\, and prepare a final report for Mayor Ellation. There are 9 Milestones in this project. There are several Tasks you need to complete within each Milestone. This project should take you no more than 30 hours to finish. Depending on your skill level\, it may take you less time.Inthis project\, you will learn using a combination of videos\, articles\, and external data work in spreadsheets. Our team has provided you with several external links and resources which will supplement your learning.Project participants who complete Milestones 1-9 in accordance with these instructions will receive a Certificate of Completion from the NSDC Project Team.  UID:133231-21872623@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133231 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250317T123225 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250321T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250321T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Museums Seminar - Emily Sessa\, Cornell University DESCRIPTION:EEB Museums Friday Seminar Series - Specimen Tales: Stories and Insights from the William & Lynda Steere Herbarium\n\nThe Steere Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden is one of the largest herbaria in the world\, with nearly 8 million specimens of plants\, fungi\, lichens\, and algae.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Montefrio explores how human and nonhuman coastal lives and their socio-material relations negotiate\, co-constitute\, and embody surprises in predictable and confounding ways. In his ethnographic work in Capiz\, he examines the interactions among the smallholder fishers and the fishing infrastructures they build\, the inshore fish they catch\, the erratic weather that surprises them\, the neoliberal regime that governs them\, the debt they accumulate\, and the precarious lives they live. Surprises brought about by extreme weather and other stressors impel smallholder fishers to engage in greater risk-taking behaviors akin to gambling. Left to their own devices\, smallholder fishers negotiate surprises with a modest sense of control\, shaping their material world as best as they can to improve their lives. Often\, they are resigned to just the luck of the draw.\n\nZoom link: https://myumi.ch/qVN9Q\n \n Marvin Montefrio is an associate professor of social science (environmental studies) at Yale-NUS College in Singapore and an affiliate faculty of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Despite progress in molecular characterization of OLF at a molecular level\, differentiating disease from benign mutations remains a challenge. In this talk I will present recent findings from my lab on the emerging relationship between OLF unfolding and aggregation and how this relationship may relate to its pathogenic misfolding. Broadly\, our study of myocilin illustrates complexities introduced by large amyloid-forming proteins when undergoing folded-to-misfolded transitions compared to smaller model amyloid systems.

Such equations\, referred to as kinetic equations\, have been studied dating back to the Boltzmann equation in the late 1800's\, and were later proposed for wave systems in the mid-1900's. Wave kinetic equations play an important role in the study of oceanography\, plasma physics\, and atmospheric science\, to name just a few areas. Rigorous justification of these equations has been much more recent and falls under the umbrella of Hilbert's sixth problem.\n\nAlthough wave kinetic equations have been rigorously derived in dimension d \geq $\, both the physical and mathematical theory of wave turbulence in dimension d = 1 is less understood. Here\, we look at the one-dimensional MMT (Majda\, McLaughlin\, and Tabak) model\, a general model encompassing many dispersion relations \omega(k) = |k|^\sigma\, where we consider 0 < \sigma < 2 and \sigma \neq 1. In particular\, this includes the dispersion relations for the 1D cubic NLS (\sigma = 2) and gravity water waves (\sigma = 1/2). We restrict to the case where there are no derivatives in the nonlinearity\, and consider the MMT on a large interval of length L with nonlinearity of size \alpha.\n\nHere\, we rigorously derive the kinetic equation in the kinetic limit L \to \infty and \alpha \to 0 under various scaling laws \alpha \sim L^{-\gamma} up to timescales T \sim L^{-\epsilon}\alpha^{-\frac{5}{4}} (or T \sim L^{-\epsilon} T_{kin}^{5/8})\, where the kinetic time T_{kin} is the relevant timescale on which the kinetic approximation is expected. Notably\, in the range of 1 < \sigma \leq 2\, the proposed collision kernel of the kinetic equation is trivial\, begging the question of what is the appropriate kinetic theory in that setting. In this case\, our result implies there can be no nontrivial dynamics of the second moment up to timescales T_{kin}.

They also are emblematic “institutionalized organizations” whose legitimacy and success depend on isomorphism with rules or “logics” of their institutional environment. Given the complex\, pluralistic nature of PSOs’ institutional environment\, what determines whether organizational actors can prioritize logics aligned with American opportunity? And if they cannot\, what are the consequences—both for their clients’ organizational experiences and for the broader imperative of mission fulfillment? In this paper\, we answer these questions using the case of public U.S. higher education\, drawing on unique interview data gathered from organizational actors and their clients (here\, students). We find that internal structural attributes—including role specialization\, task standardization\, and centralization of resource-based decision making—and the related process of structural filtering\, centrally drive organizational actors’ logic prioritization and in turn\, profoundly impact the character of client interactions and mission fulfillment. Specifically\, when structural filtering prevents organizational actors from prioritizing democratic logics\, student experiences decline in quality and become more unequal: patterns misaligned with mission fulfillment. We conclude by discussing implications for the organizational production of inequality and for public trust in PSOs.

A mechanism is dominated by another if the latter performs at least as well in all plausible scenarios and strictly better in at least one. A mechanism is undominated if no other feasible mechanism dominates it. We show how analyzing undominated mechanisms could be useful and illustrate the tractability of characterizing such mechanisms. This approach provides an alternative criterion for mechanism design under non-Bayesian uncertainty\, complementing existing methods.

In Wave Turbulence (WT)\, where the fundamental motions are random interacting waves rather than hydrodynamic vortices\, an analogue to the Kolmogorov spectrum is a Kolmogorov-Zakharov spectrum describing stationary states with a constant energy flux from long to short wave modes. The Kolmogorov scenario relies on a locality property which assumes that the dominant nonlinear interaction occurs among scales (e.g. wave lengths) of similar sizes. This property is violated in some important WT systems\, and one has to construct alternative theories describing interactions of widely separated scales. An important example here is the spectral diffusion describing evolution of WT when the dominant interactions are with an infrared end of the spectrum. In my talk\, I will introduce the main ideas\, mathematical descriptions and results for the WT systems arising in several well-known applications: water surface gravity waves\, internal waves\, planetary Rossby waves and MMT models.\n\nContact: Zaher Hani UID:130191-21865578@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130191 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250311T160452 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250321T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250321T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:ASC Winter 2025 UMAPS Research Colloquium Series.

Dual Schubert polynomials\, introduced by Bernstein\, Gelfand\, and Gelfand in 1973\, represent the intersection degrees of Schubert varieties via Borel-Weil embeddings. In 2005\, Postnikov and Stanley further showed that these polynomials form a dual basis to Schubert polynomials in the polynomial ring with infinitely many variables under the D-pairing\, demonstrating that\, despite their distinct geometric and combinatorial definitions\, they encode the same information. Thus\, research on dual Schubert polynomials sheds new light on classical problems in Schubert calculus.\n\nIn joint work with Serena An and Katherine Tung\, we extend this perspective to the study of Postnikov-Stanley polynomials\, proving that they represent the intersection degrees of Richardson varieties via Borel-Weil embeddings\, and are therefore Lorentzian polynomials. Additionally\, we provide an elegant and complete characterization of the supports of dual Schubert polynomials\, which leads to a polynomial-time algorithm for determining whether a given term appears in a dual Schubert polynomial. I will also discuss open problems related to Postnikov-Stanley polynomials and their broader implications for Schubert calculus.

This unified framework reveals a generalized perturbative unitarity bound on dark matter mass applicable across the full spectrum of thermal freezeout processes.\nNotably\, I will demonstrate how thermal dark matter masses can exceed the conventional 100 TeV unitarity limit—potentially reaching the Planck scale—through mechanisms involving nearly degenerate states and metastable dark matter configurations. Specifically\, I will introduce new concepts like zombie and drunk dark matter to enable the realization of superheavy thermal dark matter. Finally\, I will show that weak-scale thermal dark matter can naturally arise even in scenarios with extremely small coupling strengths.

Utilizing carbonate-clumped isotope thermometry and integrating observations from the geologic record\, I will first examine the end-Ordovician glaciation—a test case that exhibits both similarities to and differences from Cenozoic glaciation. Prior to glaciation\, a long-term gradual cooling trend is mirrored by Ordovician radiation in biological diversity\, consistent with temperature-dependent oxygen solubility and metabolism as primary controls. Evidence for significant ice growth is constrained to less than 2 Myr of the Hirnantian Stage\, underscoring the high sensitivity of ice growth to pCO₂ and temperature. Our independent estimates for ice volume\, area\, and sea-level change during the Hirnantian glacial maximum are internally consistent and comparable to those of the Last Glacial Maximum. In addition to our work documenting cooling in the lead-up to the end-Ordovician Hirnantian glaciation\, our targeted geographic studies have also allowed us to reconstruct progressive and protracted cooling before the Sturtian Snowball Earth glaciation and the Late Paleozoic Ice Age. These three case studies suggest that a cool\, low pCO₂ climate is a prerequisite for glaciation\, even Snowball Earth\, and highlight the importance of identifying and constraining meteoric alteration associated with large amplitude sea level change before interpreting isotope records. The implications of these results extend to refining current paleoclimate models\, especially in understanding transitions from greenhouse to icehouse conditions.

The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.\nThe ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROPWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

As a student-led chapter of the internationally renowned Partners in Health organization\, we are committed to advocating for equitable healthcare solutions\, amplifying marginalized voices\, and inspiring systemic change.This gala stems from a rich history of grassroots movements that recognize healthcare as a human right\, not a privilege. Founded on the belief that every individual deserves access to quality healthcare regardless of socioeconomic status\, our chapter has consistently worked to uphold this vision through advocacy\, education\, and service. The gala represents a new chapter in our mission: uniting campus organizations and community members around the shared goal of addressing critical global and public health challenges.The Health Equity Gala serves as a platform to spotlight the disparities in healthcare access\, particularly in the context of an evolving political landscape where conservative policies may threaten progress in public health equity. By bringing together a diverse coalition of public health and global health organizations on campus\, we aim to foster dialogue\, share resources\, and build actionable strategies to combat these disparities.We invite you to join us in celebrating the power of collective action and the potential for transformative change. Together\, we can advocate for a more equitable world and ensure that health is prioritized as a universal human right.

Joy teamed up with one of her musical heroes\, 4x Grammy-nominated Margaret Becker\, to make her debut album. \"Tell it to the Wind\" marks Clark’s arrival on the national stage as a proud\, queer\, Black woman blending the social consciousness of folk\, the rhythms of Southeast Louisiana\, and the soul-centered music she grew up with.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621550@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

The distance is only 3 kilometers but is often in very mountainous regions and traversed while carrying gallons of water. This journey can take hours out of their day and often conflicts with work and school. Along with our walk\, we will be sharing how we can reduce our water footprint and be more water conscious in everyday life and engaging in fun outdoor activities. We hope to see you there!!

The 1938 Soviet historical drama\, directed by Sergei Eisenstein during the Stalinist era\, was the first of his dramatic films to use sound\, and it depicts the attempted invasion of Novgorod in the 13th century by the Knights of the Holy Roman Empire and their subsequent defeat by Prince Alexander\, aka Alexander Nevsky.\n\nThe film and music were a true collaboration in that some of the film was shot to Prokofiev’s music and some of Prokofiev’s music was composed to Eisenstein’s footage. A year after the film’s premiere\, Prokofiev arranged the film score as a cantata\, which is more frequently performed today. The cantata was first performed at UMS at the 1946 May Festival\, less than a decade after its premiere\, and most recently as part of the 1991 May Festival. The UMS Choral Union and the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra perform the full score for the first time\, presented alongside the original film.\n\nFeatured Artists bringing the film to life:\nUMS Choral Union\nAnn Arbor Symphony Orchestra\nScott Hanoian\, conductor\nMeredith Arwady\, contralto UID:121993-21847932@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121993 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Academics,Ann Arbor,Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra,Anthropology,Art,art and design,artists,artists and curators,arts,Choir,Classical,classical music,concert,Culture,Digital Culture,Education,Energy,European,European Studies,Film,hill auditorium,History,Humanities,In Person,Interdisciplinary,International,Media,Mindfulness,multicultural,music,orchestra,performance,Roman Empire,Social,Social Sciences,Storytelling,theater,UMS,Ums Choral Union,university musical society,university symphony orchestra,visual arts,Well-being LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250226T105051 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T193000 SUMMARY:Performance:Groove Walks the Plank DESCRIPTION:Ahoy ye scallywags!
