SUMMARY:Performance:Chamber Choir & OperaLab
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chamber Choir & SMTD OperaLab for an evening workshop performance of Christopher Theofanidis\, composer and librettist Melissa Studdard's new work *Siddhartha\, She*. The performance is in partnership with the Aspen Music Festival. Eugene Rogers\, conductor\; Scott VanOrnum\, pianist. \n\nVery loosely based on Herman Hesse’s classic novel\, *Siddhartha*\, the oratorio *Siddhartha\, She* adapts the timeless story of the search for meaning into a vibrant\, immersive audience experience of communal and personal transcendence. In addition to uniting music with spoken poetry\, ritual\, and environmental field recordings\, composer Christopher Theofanidis and librettist Melissa Studdard employ optional simple choreographed balletic movement and video projection onto a variety of textured surfaces to create a mesmerizing\, magical-realist\, gender-bending exploration of the depth of the human condition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CAS Workshop. 14th Annual International Graduate Student Workshop in Armenian Studies: “The Archive in Theory and Practice in Armenian Studies”
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Armenian Studies’ 14th Annual International Graduate Student Workshop brings together emerging scholars from diverse disciplines to critically engage with the concept of the archive in Armenian Studies. While archival theory often conceptualizes archives as repositories of collective memory\, history\, or knowledge\, this workshop explores both institutional and non-traditional archives\, questioning how they are formed\, preserved\, and accessed. Through an interdisciplinary lens\, participants will examine the role of archives in shaping Armenian history\, cultural identity\, and scholarship\, as well as the limitations and biases inherent in archival practices. By addressing the challenges of archival silences\, displacement\, and the role of digital tools in preservation\, this workshop aims to foster new approaches to archival research.\n\nThe panels will cover a wide range of topics\, including new methods in access and digitization\, materiality and contact within the archive\, the role of state and counter-archives\, and local communities’ preservation practices. Participants will engage with case studies on liturgical hymn organization\, handwritten text recognition\, and digital community archiving\, among other innovative research projects. Additionally\, a special conversation with personal archivist Anahit Toumajan will offer insights into alternative archival practices outside institutional settings. A guided tour of the University of Michigan’s Armenian special collections will provide hands-on engagement with rare books and manuscripts\, further enriching the discussion on archival methodologies and resources.\n\nThe workshop will culminate in a keynote lecture by Dr. Elyse Semerdjian\, whose research on \"embodied archives\" offers a feminist critique of archival practice in Armenian Studies. Her work examines how physical and material remnants\, such as scars and tattooed texts\, function as historical records\, challenging conventional notions of archival preservation. By bringing together scholars\, archivists\, and practitioners\, this workshop seeks to advance critical conversations about the past\, present\, and future of archives in Armenian Studies\, fostering a more nuanced understanding of how history is documented\, remembered\, and reinterpreted.\n\n=========================\nDAY 1 — Friday: April 4\, 2025\n=========================\n\n9:00-9:30 AM — Introductory Remarks: Emma Avagyan (Middle East Studies)\, Nazelie Doghramadjian (Information)\, Allison Grenda (History of Art)\, Gottfried Hagen (Middle East Studies)\n\n9:30-11:00 AM — Panel 1: New Methods in Access\, Preservation\, and Digitization of Armenian Heritage\nDiscussant: Bogdan Pavlish\, University of Michigan\n● Vardan Sargsyan\, University of Michigan. “Unlocking the Sharaknots’: A New Approach to Organizing Armenian Liturgical Hymns”\n● Chahan Vidal-Gòrene\, Calfa\, École Nationale des Chartes-PSL. “A Case Study on the Application of Handwritten Text Recognition to Mekhitarist Archives”\n\n11:00-11:15 AM — Break\n\n11:15 AM-12:45 PM — Panel 2: Beyond Text: Materiality and Contact within the Archive\nDiscussant: Christiane Gruber\, University of Michigan\n● Anahit Gasparyan\, Tufts University. “Reimagining Access to Armenian Sources: The Value of Facsimiles in Art Historical Research”\n● Tsovinar Kuiumchian\, University of Oxford. “‘My house is full of ghosts’: Textile Archive as a Transgenerational Contact Zone”\n\n12:45-2:00 PM — Lunch for Workshop Participants\n\n2:00-3:00 PM — Panel 3: Conversation with Mrs. Anahit Toumajan\, Armenian Language Teacher & Personal Archivist\nModerators: Nazelie Doghramadjian\, University of Michigan\; Michael Pifer\, University of Michigan\n● Anahit Toumajan\, who is an Armenian language teacher and personal archivist in the Armenian community here in Michigan\, will discuss her work preserving and arranging Mihran Toumajan’s archive.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Saturday Morning Physics | Organic Optical Materials: From Solar Cells to Light-Emitting Diodes
DESCRIPTION:Versatile organic optical materials are widely used\, for example\, in OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TVs. These materials\, which convert electricity to light and vice-versa\, continue to improve\, but questions remain concerning electron and energy transport processes. Understanding ultra-fast (femtosecond) and small-scale (nanometer) processes in these systems is crucial for improving performance in optical and electronic applications.  In this presentation\, Professor Goodson will describe the results of studies of light-matter interactions in organic materials using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy to investigate energy transport and its importance to electronic devices we rely on daily.\n\nJoin us in person or via live stream: https://myumi.ch/ErXD3\n\nMore information about the Saturday Morning Physics Lecture Series is available on our website: https://myumi.ch/9gmgn

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

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

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).

SUMMARY:Performance:Marcel\, Rami\, and Sary Khalife: Legacy
DESCRIPTION:The legendary Lebanese composer\, singer\, and oud master Marcel Khalife returns to Ann Arbor for the first time in 20 years\, joined by his son\, virtuoso pianist Rami Khalife\, and his nephew\, cellist Sary Khalife\, in a program that underscores his family’s incredible musical legacy. Revered as a cultural icon in the Arab World and beyond\, Marcel Khalife is deeply attached to the text of great contemporary Arab poets and is an innovator in Arab music who draws upon traditional forms and blends Western elements to create an evocative sound that has captivated audiences around the world. His extensive body of work transcends his lyrical works to encompass groundbreaking compositions\, orchestral and choral works\, music for dance\, and concertos for a variety of traditional Arabic instruments.\n\nThe cross-generational Khalife trio will perform a selection of Marcel’s revered classics that endeared him to millions in the Arab World\, with new arrangements alongside original compositions. Sary Khalife masterfully incorporates the Arabic quarter tone on his cello\, seamlessly weaving Arabic and Western sounds\, while Rami’s pianistic skills combine his classical training from The Juilliard School with a “Keith-Jarrett-like approach to jazz and improvisation.” (Daily Telegraph\, Australia)

SUMMARY:Performance:Our Oz
DESCRIPTION:A re-imagination of *The Wizard of Oz* viewed through a BIPOC and queer lens\, Our Oz is an entirely new work being presented on stage for the first time. Professors José Casas (head of the playwriting minor in the Department of Theatre & Drama) and Jake Hooker (head of drama at the Residential College) have led an ensemble of students from SMTD and the Residential College in exploring and experimenting with the tropes and images of multiple renditions from the Land of Oz as originally conceived by L. Frank Baum. The resulting work is fresh\, insightful\, and reflective of the times we live in.\n\nDiscount of 10% off ticket price when you purchase 4 or more student tickets.\n \nRecommended Ages: 13+

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

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

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Film Screening: The Dawn Is Too Far: Stories of Iranian-American Life
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of *The Dawn is Too Far: Stories of Iranian-American Life* (2024\, dir. Persis Karim and Soumyaa Behrens\, 55 min.)\, followed by a conversation and Q&A\nsession with the co-director\, Persis Karim! This event is free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the film: *The Dawn is Too Far: Stories of Iranian-American Life* poetically narrates the story of a community of Iranian Americans who have made the San Francisco Bay Area their home over the past five decades. The film seeks to expand our understanding of Iranian immigration — what it means to leave home and country\, and to live through the episodes of turbulent histories of dissent\, revolution\, war\, and separation — and reinvent oneself in a new place\, country\, and culture. *The Dawn is Too Far* does not paint a story of salvation and happy assimilation but rather seeks to identify the complex ways that members of the Bay Area's Iranian diaspora community have navigated the challenges and traumas of history to reinvent themselves and tell their own stories. These as yet untold stories build on a longer history of Iranian immigration to Northern California\, where Iranians as students\, activists\, artists\, draw on as well as influence the larger culture of the Bay Area. This community\, and all that it has faced\, offers a more nuanced story of the Iranian diaspora\, the ways that this community enriches and enlivens the region where they live\, work\, and build families and community. *The Dawn is Too Far* undermines the tired and overplayed news headlines that are dominated by narratives of enmity and mistrust between the government of Iran and the U.S. to offer a more humane understanding of how people's lives and the sacrifices they make are part of the larger story of immigration. \n\nAbout the speaker: Persis Karim is the director of the Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies at San Francisco State University\, where she also teaches in the Department of\nHumanities and Comparative and World Literature. She is the editor of three anthologies of Iranian diaspora literature and has published numerous articles about\nIranian diaspora literature and culture for academic journals\, as well as poetry and essays in non-academic publications. *The Dawn is Too Far* is her first film and reflects\nher interest in documenting and sharing the larger history and personal stories of those who are part of the global Iranian diaspora.\n\nThis event was made possible with the generous help of Middle East Studies (U-M\, Dearborn)\, Middle East Studies (U-M\, Ann Arbor)\, the Center for Arab American Studies\n(U-M\, Dearborn)\, the Honors Program at U-M Dearborn\, the Residential College at U-M Ann Arbor\, and the Iranian Studies Program at U-M Ann Arbor.

SUMMARY:Performance:May Erlewine
DESCRIPTION:What It Takes album release tour\n\nMay Erlewine has split her heart wide open and hasn’t hidden any of the contents from view. One of the Midwest’s most prolific and passionate songwriters\, Erlewine has a gift for writing songs of substance that feel both fresh and soulfully familiar. Her ability to emotionally engage with an audience has earned her a dedicated following far beyond her Michigan roots. She shows us her heartbreak\, but she also shows us her empowered and emboldened spirit. In her quest to find her most authentic self\, Erlewine gifts each listener with a powerful\, emotional experience that immediately connects us.\n\nRaised in a home full of art and music\, Erlewine began writing songs at a very young age. As a teenager she hitchhiked across the country\, honing her skills as a performer and absorbing the kind of stories and landscapes that would inform her music. Her songs show a very real connection and concern with everyday folk.\n​\nErlewine draws from a wide variety of influences to create her sound. Lyrically\, her songs are rooted in hard-wrought wisdom\, joy and sorrow\, simplicity\, and stories from her own experiences. Musically\, May's songs wash over the audience like a tender hug. She is a magnetic solo performer and is also often supported by her carefully chosen backing bands.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CREES Exhibition. 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). See more of her work here: https://www.diannebeal.com/curatorial.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Angkorian Homecoming
DESCRIPTION:Informed 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:8-BIT Music Exhibit: The Gallery
DESCRIPTION:MORE INFO: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/8bitmusic/ \n\nThe 8-Bit Music Exhibit is a week-long exploration of the creation of the nostalgic\, retro tunes many have grown up with and come to love\, as well as a showcase of how such music has been reclaimed and repurposed for continued existence in the modern world. The gallery plans to guide viewers through a history of 8-bit music\, its significance to media and video games of its time\, and notable figures that influenced the legacy of the niched genre. In the workshop\, participants will learn how modern chiptune artists create music from Game Boys and the production software LSDJ\, and have the opportunity to create music of their own design. Throughout the end of the exhibit week\, we will celebrate the historic and modern legacies of 8-bit music in a set of live performances produced by Norah\, a seasoned chiptune artist.\n\nOur goal in developing this exhibit is to highlight 8-bit/chiptune music as a unique form of digital art celebrated for its sound\, cultural significance\, and innovation. Throughout the lifespans of the original hardware supporting this music\, artists often faced limitations due to hardware constraints. These difficulties led to early video game industry composers inventing new techniques and methods for music creation that have evolved over time and remain influential today.\n\nTHANK YOU to our co-sponsors and partners for your support in the creation of this event!\n-> U-M LSA Technology Services Digital Scholarship (https://lsa.umich.edu/technology-services/services/research-tools/digital-scholarship.html)\n-> U-M Digital Studies Institute (https://www.digitalstudies.umich.edu/)\n-> U-M Arts Initiative (https://arts.umich.edu/arts-initiative)\n-> Neutral Zone (https://www.neutral-zone.org/event-list/2025/4/11/free-tech-workshop-chiptune-8-bit)\n-> Ann Arbor District Libraries (https://aadl.org/)\n-> Ypsilanti District Libraries (https://www.ypsilibrary.org/)\n-> Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor (https://www.pinballpetes.org/copy-of-east-lansing-location)\n-> Video Game Music Club (VGMC) (https://maizepages.umich.edu/organization/vgmc)\n-> WolvSec (https://wolvsec.org/)\n-> LGBTQ+ Michigan (https://websites.umich.edu/~lgbtqmichigan/#)\n-> Ann Arbor Fighting Game Community at the University of Michigan (FGC) (https://maizepages.umich.edu/organization/a2fgc)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - The role of dominant plants\, insects\, and climate in shaping communities and ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Dissertation abstract: \nPlant communities are structured by multiple potentially interacting factors\, including interactions between plant species\, herbivores\, and climate. Critically\, the independent and potentially interactive effects of plant-plant interactions\, insect herbivory\, and precipitation on plant community structure and ecosystem function are rarely investigated. My dissertation addresses this research gap through a set of three separate field studies in old fields across Michigan. First\, I investigated the role of a dominant plant species in shaping plant species richness\, productivity\, and the community structure of associated arthropods. Specifically\, I found that the dominant plant species Solidago canadensis (Canada goldenrod) indirectly reduced arthropod abundance by reducing the biomass of all of the other plant species in the community\, in part by reducing light availability. With this work\, I demonstrate that the effects of a dominant plant on communities spans across multiple trophic levels. Next\, at the same field site\, I implemented a field experiment to study the independent and combined effects of S. canadensis and insects on plant diversity\, biomass\, subdominant species abundance\, microclimate\, plant functional traits\, and decomposition. Insect presence mediated the effect of S. canadensis removal on plant biomass and richness. Furthermore\, the effects of S. canadensis and insects extended belowground and determined the temporal variability of plant biomass. Overall\, these results emphasize the importance of considering the effect of insects when trying to understand the role of dominant plants in structuring plant communities and shaping ecosystem function above- and below-ground\, as well as overtime. Finally\, I examined the combined effects of a generalist insect herbivore and altered precipitation on plant biomass\, richness\, functional diversity\, and the community averaged trends of a suite of plant traits. Altered summer precipitation and the presence of the generalist insect Melanoplus femurrubrum (Red-legged grasshopper) had interactive effects on the plant biomass and on community averaged plant traits\, in particular. These results suggest that the traits of the most common species in the community are the most sensitive to altered precipitation and grasshopper herbivory. Taken together\, my dissertation comprehensively examines the factors that structure plant communities\, and in particular enhances our understanding of the interactive effects of dominant plants\, insects\, and climate on communities and ecosystems.\n\nThis is a hybrid event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Anticyclotomic Euler systems for CM fields
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The idea of constructing cohomology classes using congruences between modular forms dates back to the proof of the converse part of the Herbrand-Ribet theorem. We begin by reviewing Ribet's method and its application to the classical Hida family of Eisenstein series. Next\, we discuss how applying this method to the Coleman family that is perpendicular to the Hida family suggests the existence of an Euler system. This phenomenon can be further generalized using insights from the p-adic local Langlands correspondence. Finally\, we present our work on the construction of an anticyclotomic Euler system for CM fields and its application to the Iwasawa main conjecture.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Multi-messenger Hunt for Galactic PeVatrons
DESCRIPTION:Cosmic rays with energies up to a few PeV are believed to originate from our own galaxy. However\, thir origin has remained a mystery for over a century since the discovery. Recent discoveries in neutrino and gamma-ray astronomy have provided strong evidence for the existence of PeV particle accelerators\, or PeVatrons\, within the Milky Way galaxy. Among them\, the H.E.S.S. observatory discovered a PeVatron within 10 parsecs of the center of our galaxy\, suggesting that the supermassive black hole Sgr A* may be responsible. Despite being one of the least active supermassive black holes\, Sgr A* may have acted as a potential particle accelerator during its active stage. In this talk\, I will describe our attempts to find observational evidence that Sgr A* could serve as a PeVatron\, as well as how we can reconstruct Sgr A* activity history. In the second half of the talk\, I will introduce our ongoing multi-messenger efforts to identify other Galactic PeVatron candidates discovered by the LHAASO observatory and to test whether they bear the nature of supernova remnants\, pulsar wind nebula\, young stellar clusters or black hole systems.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG: Geometric Siegel-Weil and Rallis
DESCRIPTION:In this talk we first introduce the geometric Siegel-Weil formula\, which relates the geometric theta series to Eisenstein series. We then give a geometric analogue of the Petersson inner product. By combining the geometric Siegel-Weil formula and the Rallis inner product formula we obtain the geometric inner product formula.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - Microbial Diversity and Dynamics in Lake Food Webs: Species Interactions\, Life History Strategies\, and Community Reassembly
DESCRIPTION:Dissertation Abstract: \nUnderstanding the processes involved in biodiversity maintenance and species coexistence is a central goal of community ecology. Lakes have long served as focal systems for exploring this puzzle\, as they harbor high microbial diversity despite their relatively stable and homogeneous appearance—a paradox that challenges classical formulations in ecological theory. A significant body of work suggests that steady states are exceptions rather than the norm in natural lakes. This dissertation engages with this theme by investigating microbial community diversity and dynamics in the context of cross-scale species interactions\, microbial life-history strategies\, and ecological memory. Together\, the chapters explore how general ecological principles play out in particular contexts—especially under heterogeneous environmental conditions and shifts in food web structures.\n\nThis is a hybrid event. \nJoin remotely: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99854884233\nMeeting ID: 998 5488 4233\n \nIn Chapter 2\, I examine the direct impacts of predation by introduced Dreissenid mussels on bacterial abundance\, diversity\, and composition in two regions of the Laurentian Great Lakes—Lake Erie’s western basin and Saginaw Bay in Lake Huron. While these mussels are known to exert strong top-down controls in lakes\, including microbial communities\, through filter-feeding\, I find their impacts to be variable. In some cases\, mussels significantly reduced microbial diversity\; in others\, their impacts were minimal or absent. Moreover\, I find that resistance to predation was structured at a shallower phylogenetic depth than previously reported in the low-nutrient Lake Michigan. These results highlight the role of context dependency and natural history in shaping animal-microbe interactions beyond host-microbiome systems.\n\nChapter 3 explores whether the observed shifts in microbial community structure and diversity can be explained through growth-defense theory. This canonical theory in ecology assumes that organisms face fundamental trade-offs due to differences in allocation strategies under resource-limited conditions. Using metagenomic methods\, I compare microbial populations resistant to mussel predation with those that are susceptible. I find no evidence for the emergence of resistance at the cost of growth. Instead\, resistance emerges as a complex trait\, shaped by varying patterns across phylogenetic\, molecular\, and broad functional levels. These results suggest that heterogenous environmental conditions in natural lakes may relax trade-off constraints in bacterial trait evolution\, as trade-off frameworks often rely on a priori assumptions about the tendency of ecosystems to move toward steady-state conditions.\n\nChapter 4 turns toward ecological memory. Using a common garden mesocosm setup\, which controls for the environmental differences between treatments by exposing them to the same background\, I test whether the historical presence of mussels alters microbial community reassembly following environmental perturbation. I sampled six temperate lakes from southeast Michigan\, three lakes with a history of mussel presence and three without. Microbial communities from lakes with and without mussels followed distinct reassembly trajectories. Moreover\, shifts in community structure translated into shifts in function\, indicating that the ecological memory of food web interactions leaves historical imprints with implications for broader ecosystem functioning.\n\nAcross chapters\, my findings raise questions about the universality of equilibrium-based theories in ecology. These studies show that microbial diversity emerges from the dynamic interplay between context-dependency\, functional traits\, and historical imprints of species interactions. While grounded in experimental and genomic methods\, this dissertation also critically engages with some foundational concepts in ecological theory (Chapters 1 and 5). In doing so\, it gestures toward a broader philosophical tension in ecological thought: the inherent complexity of biodiversity and the challenges associated with its abstraction (Chapter 6).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Seminar Series: Courtney Thomas Tobin
DESCRIPTION:Courtney Thomas Tobin joins us April 7\, 2025 to present emerging work from the M.O.S.A.I.C. (Multimorbidity Outcomes & Solutions for African/Black Americans In California) Initiative\, a community-engaged research collaborative aimed at advancing equity-centered multimorbidity research and solutions.\n\nMultimorbidity—the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions—represents a major contributor to racial health disparities in the United States. Yet\, research on multimorbidity among Black Americans remains limited and inconsistent\, particularly with regard to measurement approaches\, inclusion of mental health conditions\, and age-specific patterns. This gap undermines our ability to accurately estimate burden\, identify at-risk groups\, and design effective\, culturally relevant interventions. \n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Courtney S. Thomas Tobin will focus on Phase II of the Initiative—P.R².I.S.M. (Pinpointing Risks and Resources and Identifying Specific Multimorbidities). This presentation draws on data from the National Survey of American Life (NSAL) to examine national patterns of multimorbidity among Black Americans. \n\nDr. Thomas Tobin will explore how definitions and measurement strategies (e.g.\, counts vs. categories\, inclusion of mental health conditions) shape estimates of prevalence\, associated correlates\, and subgroup differences across the adult life course. Findings offer critical insights for improving the measurement\, monitoring\, and mitigation of multimorbidity in Black communities.\n\nThe Winter 2025 RCGD Seminar Series features speakers invited and hosted by faculty affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics. These multidisciplinary talks will cover a variety of topics in social science\, including social cognition\, structural racism\, romantic relationships\, and cognitive health. Check the schedule for updates to this series that will convene on select Mondays at 3:30 at the Institute for Social Research.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Banned\, Bold\, and Brave: 2025 Jill S. Harris Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a conversation with author and Loudmouth Books bookstore owner Leah Johnson. Johnson will sit down with U-M's Ebony Elizabeth Thomas\, author and Associate Professor of Education. They'll talk about censorship\, public education\, entrepreneurship\, and Black Girl Magic. Expect questions like: \n \n-Why was Johnson's debut novel banned? \n-What was the inspiration behind the name Loudmouth Books? \n-What's next on the horizon for Johnson's readers?\n\nBook sale and signing immediately following the Q&A courtesy of Black Stone Bookstore.\n\nLeah Johnson is an eternal midwesterner and author of award-winning books for children and young adults. Her bestselling debut YA novel\, *You Should See Me in a Crown*\, was a Stonewall Honor Book\, and the inaugural Reese's Book Club YA pick. In 2021\, *TIME *named it one of the 100 Best Young Adult Books of All Time. Her debut middle grade book\, *Ellie Engle Saves Herself* was published by Disney-Hyperion in May 2023. When she’s not writing\, you can find her at Loudmouth Books\, her Indianapolis independent bookstore that specializes in highlighting the work of marginalized authors and uplifting banned or challenged books.\n\nEbony Elizabeth Thomas\, PhD is Chair of the Joint Program in English and Education at the University of Michigan’s Marsal Family School of Education\, as well as Associate Professor of Education. She is the author of *The Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination from Harry Potter to the Hunger Games* (NYU Press\, 2019)\, which won the World Fantasy Award\, the British Fantasy Award\, and the Children’s Literature Association Book Award\, among other accolades. Her most recent books are *Harry Potter and the Other: Race\, Justice\, and Difference in the Wizarding World *(University Press of Mississippi\, 2022) co-edited with Sarah Park Dahlen\, and* Restorying Young Adult Literature: Expanding Students’ Perspectives with Digital Texts* (NCTE\, 2023) co-authored with James Joshua Coleman and Autumn A. Griffin.\n\nThe Jill S. Harris Memorial Endowment was established in 1985 by Roger and Meredith Harris\, Jill’s parents\, her grandparents Allan and Norma Harris\, and friends. The fund was established in memory of Jill\, a resident of Chicago and undergraduate student at U-M who passed away due to injuries from an auto accident. The fund brings a distinguished visitor to campus each year who will appeal to undergraduates interested in the humanities and the arts. The visitor may either be a fellow of the institute for an extended period of time or invited for a few days to present the annual lecture. The visiting fellow will usually interact with undergraduates\, informally and through visits to classes or by other means by which exchanges with undergraduates may be promoted.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MHV gravity amplitudes and their combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we investigate MHV tree-level gravity amplitudes as defined on the spinor-helicity variety. Unlike their gluon counterparts\, gravity amplitudes do not admit logarithmic singularities nor Amplituhedron-like construction. While their singularity structure is more complicated (e.g.\, they exhibit non-trivial zeros)\, these amplitudes often remain remarkably simple. In joint work with Joris Koefler\, Umut Oktem\, Shruti Paranjape\, and Jara Trnka\, we make a conjecture pertaining to the uniqueness of the numerator of MHV gravity amplitudes and develop this feature from a combinatorial perspective\, which suggests a new method for examining adjoint hypersurfaces.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STeMS Speaker Series | Is the Pixel Political? What Chinese Computing Teaches Us About the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:The pixel is the quintessential building block of the digital age—a visual manifestation of the binary logic of zeros and ones. In its seeming universalism\, it spans text and image\, and operates seamlessly across languages\, scripts\, and cultures. Or does it?\nDrawing upon the first-ever history of Chinese-language computing—a now trillion-dollar industry that\, just fifty years ago\, was widely considered unimaginable—this lecture interrogates the politics of the seemingly universal pixel.\nHow did engineers\, linguists\, and technologists overcome the complexities of digitizing the world’s largest non-alphabetic script\, with its 100\,000+ characters? And what does this history reveal about the deeper\, often invisible\, structures of power and exclusion embedded within digital infrastructures?
\nProfessor Thomas S. Mullaney of Stanford University—recipient of Stanford’s highest award in teaching and Kluge Chair of Technology and Society—explores these questions through insights from his award-winning two-book series\, The Chinese Typewriter and The Chinese Computer (MIT Press). Based on research spanning over 80 archives across 15 countries\, this lecture offers a global history of the information age—one that challenges the Euro-American assumptions that have long shaped both corporate technology and academic scholarship.\n\nThomas S. Mullaney is Professor of Chinese History at Stanford University\, a Guggenheim Fellow\, and the recipient of Stanford’s highest award for excellence in teaching\, the Gores Award. He is the author of The Chinese Computer: A Global History of the Information Age (MIT)\, co-author of Where Research Begins (University of Chicago Press\, with Christopher Rea)\, The Chinese Typewriter: A History (MIT\, winner of the Fairbank Prize)\, and Coming to Terms with the Nation: Ethnic Classification in Modern China (UC Press)\, among other works. His writings have appeared in Fast Company\, MIT Technology Review\, Quartz\, the South China Morning Post\, TechCrunch\, the Journal of Asian\nStudies\, Technology & Culture\, Foreign Affairs\, and Foreign Policy. His work has been featured in RadioLab\, The Atlantic\, the BBC\, and in invited lectures at Google\, Microsoft\, Adobe\, and more. He earned his BA and MA from the Johns Hopkins University\, and his PhD from Columbia University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCEE Distinguished Lecture on Europe. Civil Society in an Era of Global Change
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Matviichuk will delve into the evolving role of civil society\, particularly in times of conflict and crisis. She will highlight the critical work of Ukraine's civil society\, which has expanded its traditional advocacy and watchdog functions to actively participate in national resistance and defense. Ordinary people are doing extraordinary things to foster citizen-state unity\, improve local political engagement\, and maintain social resilience despite the war's challenges.\n\n   Oleksandra Matviichuk leads the human rights NGO Center for Civil Liberties\, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022. The organization promotes human rights and democracy in Ukraine and the OSCE region. It works on legislative reforms\, conducts public oversight of law enforcement agencies and the judiciary\, organizes educational initiatives\, and implements international solidarity programs.\n   \n   Matviichuk also coordinates the activities of the initiative group Euromaidan SOS\, which was established in response to the violent suppression of a peaceful student protest in Kyiv on November 30\, 2013.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:QMSS Seminar with Dr. Amnon Cavari
DESCRIPTION:Join the Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences (QMSS) program for an engaging seminar with former QMSS visiting associate professor\, Dr. Amnon Cavari!\n\nDemocracy Under Pressure: How Crises Shape Public Trust in Government and Democratic Norms in Israel.\n\nIn the past two years\, Israel has faced two major crises that have reshaped public perceptions of democracy: the government’s attempt to consolidate power\, which sparked mass protests\, and the October 7 attack by Hamas\, which escalated into a full-scale war involving Hezbollah\, Iran\, and its regional proxies. These events\, unfolding under the same highly polarizing government\, provide a unique opportunity to examine how internal and external crises influence public trust in government\, perceptions of its powers and limitations\, and evolving views of democratic norms. Drawing on three years of monthly public opinion data\, I analyze the divergent public responses to these crises and their broader implications for democratic stability.\n\nThere will be an opportunity for a select number of current U-M undergraduate students to join Dr. Cavari for a casual dinner after the event. If you are interested in this opportunity and would like to sign up for the dinner (or be placed on a waitlist if it is currently filled to capacity)\, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/oKxhUtPiwgzGZUJ59.\n\nThis event is open to all students at U-M.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:German Film Series
DESCRIPTION:All Films screened in German with English subtitles.\n\nFebruary 3: *Kokon* (Cocoon\, 2020\, dir. Leonie Krippendorff)\nTime: food at 6\, film at 6:30pm\nLocation: North Quad 2435\nBerlin-Kreuzberg is Nora’s microcosm. Nora\, the silent observer\, drifts around the monotonous housing blocks with her big sister and her friends\, witnessing events that seem to cross-fade in the summer light. Girls who want to be slim and pretty\, boys who say dumb things to provoke or because they are in love. Ruthless smartphone cameras and fragile teenagers. But Nora has her own way of looking at the world\, and when she meets Romy\, she realizes why. This film captures a summer of change. (Berlinale 2020)\n\nMarch 10: *Sonne* (Sun\, 2022\, dir. Kurdwin Ayub) \nTime: food at 6\, film at 6:30pm\nLocation: North Quad 2435\nThree teenage girls from Vienna twerk in hijab and sing a pop song. A YouTube video of it makes them famous overnight\, especially among Kurdish Muslims. Yesmin\, the only one of the friends who is Kurdish herself\, begins to distance herself more and more from her culture. Nati and Bella\, on the other hand\, seem fascinated by a world that is strange to them. A film about young people caught between social media and self-discovery\, a story of rebellious young women. (Austrian Films)\n\nApril 7: *Oray* (2019\, dir. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay)\nTime: NO FOOD\, doors at 6:15pm\, film at 6:30pm\nLocation: *State Theater*\nOray strives to be a better person but struggles with his shady past. His dream of being a good Muslim and the perfect husband is suddenly shattered while arguing with his wife. Oray goes to Cologne\, where he tries to rebuild his life in a new Muslim community. But he is constantly torn between his faith\, everyday reality and identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.
