To enhance precision\, we developed Cancer Viewing Glasses (CVGs) that provide real-time intraoperative visualization of tumors and sentinel lymph nodes without disrupting the surgical workflow. CVGs detect near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) from tumor-targeted molecular probes and project both NIRF and visible light to a head-mounted display\, enabling direct access to the surgical field under normal lighting conditions. In both mouse models and cancer patients\, CVGs enabled real-time image guidance for complete tumor resection\, with ongoing clinical studies demonstrating improved surgical throughput and accuracy. \n\nBio:\nDr. Samuel Achilefu is the inaugural Chair and Professor of the Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas\, Texas\, USA.

Copper is also essential for modern economies because it is required for expansion of infrastructure such as wiring for electricity distribution and telecommunications\, air conditioning and space heating\, plumbing\, industrial equipment\, rail and public transportation systems\, and vehicles. Consider that the built environment of the European Union\, United Kingdom\, United States and other high-income countries contains 150-200 kg/capita\, whereas there is less than 10 kg/capita in low-income countries across Africa and India. Hence\, global economic development will require an enormous amount of copper. Our challenge is that this copper demand is significantly greater than projected copper supply. Copper production from existing mines will decrease over the next few decades because due to announced mine closures and decreasing ore grades\, and the discovery of new copper occurrences that can be mined continues to decline. The dearth of discovery of new copper occurrences indicates that available exploration methods are no longer successful. In this presentation I will discuss novel hydrogeochemical methods that use the metal isotopic composition of ground and surface water as a probe for the presence of copper sulfide minerals beneath cover. The technique was developed by collaborating with mining companies around the world. The non-invasive technique can identify and distinguish among chalcopyrite\, chalcocite and bornite and whether chalcocite is hypogene or supergene. The technique can be used for brownfield expansion projects and greenfield exploration. The hydrogeochemical technique can also be used to monitor mineralogy during heap leaching operations\, allowing operators to tailor lixiviant chemistry to increase production rates and total recovery. The technique can also be used to quantitatively determine the source(s) of metals in the environment.\n\nBiography:\nAdam C. Simon is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Mineral Resources at the University of Michigan\, and a co-founder of VectOres Science\, Inc.\, a consulting company that uses patented technology for mineral exploration and processing.

During the hierarchical galaxy formation process smaller galaxies and star clusters are stripped apart in the outskirts of their larger hosts\, leaving their stars as tracers of their origin. This tidal debris survives as stellar streams and substructures and is sensitive to the underlying gravitational potential\, providing constraints on the nature of dark matter and the physics of low-mass galaxy formation. Upcoming large surveys such as those from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory\, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope\, and Euclid will provide an unprecedented deep and wide view of this low-surface brightness discovery space\, detecting stellar halo substructure for numerous galaxies in our nearby universe. Modeling of stellar halo structures has traditionally focused on our own Milky Way\, with limited exploration of diverse galaxy formation histories. In this talk I will highlight how using a variety of modeling techniques can aid in understanding how physical processes in hierarchical galaxy formation link to observational signatures\, facilitating interpretation of observations by the next generation of telescopes. Additionally\, I will briefly discuss ongoing interdisciplinary work\, among other things in AI models for strong lens modeling\, at the Astro-AI Institute for the Sky—the SkAI Institute.

My research aims to refine coastal wetland restoration strategies by investigating the mechanistic processes that govern ecosystem health and recovery. I work closely with land managers to incorporate this mechanistic context into decision‑making and on‑the‑ground practice. I will share my work examining the mechanisms underlying invasive plant control—from the physiological responses of Phragmites to treatment through the shifts in soil and microbial communities that follow management—as well as my investigations into how site conditions and microbial interactions influence native plant germination\, vigor\, stress tolerance\, and reestablishment during restoration. This work is tightly linked to partner needs intended to strengthen restoration approaches and enhance the long‑term resilience of Great Lakes wetlands.

Representations of quadratic forms via homogeneous dynamics II DESCRIPTION:Let $q\,Q$ be two integral quadratic forms in $m < n$ variables. One can ask when $q$ can be represented by $Q$ - that is\, whether there exists an $n \times m$-integer matrix $T$ such that $Q \circ T = q$. Naturally\, a necessary condition is that such a representation exists locally\, meaning over the real numbers and modulo $N$ for every positive integer $N$. In the absence of local obstructions\, does a (global) representation of $q$ by $Q$ exist? This question is particularly delicate when the codimension $n-m$ is small\, with codimension $2$ being the most challenging.\n\nIn this second talk\, we discuss joint work with Wooyeon Kim and Pengyu Yang where we establish a local-global principle for representations of binary by quaternary quadratic forms (when $m=2$ and $n=4$) . Our proof uses a recent measure rigidity result of Einsiedler and Lindenstrauss for higher-rank diagonalizable actions on homogeneous spaces combined with soft methods in number theory. Both talks are aimed at a general dynamical audience.\n\nNote that Wieser will give a more introductory talk in the RTG Geometry\, Topology\, Dynamics on Wednesday.

In addition\, they formulate a reciprocity law for these values which describes the action of the associated ring class group. We will discuss the computational evidence for this conjecture.\n\n3.1-3.2 of Darmon-Vonk UID:145488-21897403@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/145488 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Number Theory LOCATION:East Hall - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260330T140958 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260402T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260402T171500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Spatially resolved mechanistic insights into electrode-electrolyte and gas-liquid interfaces DESCRIPTION:Interfaces play critical roles in governing chemical reactivity across many systems ranging from fuel cells to batteries to atmospheric aerosols\, yet the molecular-level processes occurring at these boundaries remain poorly understood. This talk will highlight how spatially resolved techniques can provide detailed insights into two complex interfacial environments. In the first part of this talk\, I will discuss how combining spatially resolved electrochemistry with complementary scanning probe methods reveals which sites in transition-metal dichalcogenides are electrocatalytically active and why. In the second part\, I will show how confocal fluorescence microscopy can measure how molecules localize\, orient\, and react at gas–liquid interfaces\, providing a molecular picture of interfacial reactivity.

For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\" UID:146980-21900156@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260327T120110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260403T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260403T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

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

Across disciplines\, research conducted by Africans on the continent and across the diaspora\, engages some of the most pressing global challenges in science\, health\, technology\, governance\, economics\, development\, and the humanities. Across generations\, the multiplicity of African knowledge (and its diaspora) have shaped foundational debates and advanced new methods across disciplines. This symposium highlights research that is rigorous and original\, and attentive to the questions\, archives\, and intellectual genealogies that animate African\, and diasporic inquiry. We convene to share work\, grounded in theory\, empirical data\, innovation\, and lived experience\, generating new scholarship and practice.“We Are the Archive” is a declaration and an invitation. It calls on participants to envision African research as transformative rather than reactive\, generative rather than marginal\, and innovative rather than imitative. This symposium foregrounds scholarship that affirms African agency\, creativity\, and intellectual continuity across time and space.

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

The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling. \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

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

The results rely on the knowledge of the variance covariance matrix of the covariates under study and we show that whereas n-consistent asymptotically normal inference is possible for any by using method of moments type estimators that do not rely on estimating high dimensional nuisance parameters followed by a debiasing strategy. Without the knowledge of we first develop n-consistent estimators by using simple estimators of when <1. Subsequently for ≥1 we develop consistent estimators of the quantities of interest and argue that n-consistent estimation might not be possible without further assumptions on . Finally we verify our results in numerical simulations. This talk is based on joint work with Xingyu Chen and Lin Liu from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

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

The high-altitude puna of the Andes is a unique ecological region\, historically considered “marginal” for forager occupation on account of hypoxic conditions\, intense solar radiation\, difficult terrain\, and relatively sparse resources (Aldenderfer 1998). Nonetheless\, the region has yielded significant archaeological data that not only attest to a substantial human presence\, but also showcase remarkable human adaptability including surprisingly early occupation of high altitudes (Rademaker et al. 2014\; Rademaker and Moore 2018). This site presents a unique lens to understand human responses to dynamic environmental conditions\, with ~12\,000 years of occupation by humans from at least the Early Holocene into the present. In this talk\, I discuss findings from the 2024 and 2025 excavations of the site\, linking material evidence to regional-scale environmental conditions during the Holocene.

These neurotypes reflect natural and valuable variations of cognitive function within humans\, with specific strengths that are often considered assets in STEM fields. However\, the study of the learning experiences of neurodivergent students is currently limited within the field of chemistry. This seminar will focus on qualitative research that explores the experiences of neurodivergent undergraduate chemistry students in lecture settings through semi-structured interviews with participants from across the United States. Through interpretative phenomenological analysis – a participant-oriented approach that seeks to understand how participants make sense of their lived experiences while also recognizing the researcher’s role in interpreting those perspectives – our research focuses on understanding how neurodivergent students describe their lived experiences within chemistry lecture settings and what these experiences reveal about how they think\, perceive\, engage\, and learn within these settings. Grounded in the Neurodiversity Paradigm\, this research challenges the societal construct of “normal” cognitive functioning and recognizes neurodiversity as an essential\, valuable form of human diversity. Findings and implications aim to provide rich descriptions of experiences through a neurodivergent lens to help educators design more inclusive learning spaces and inspire systemic change to better support neurodivergent students across the chemistry curriculum.

In surface waters\, BP is controlled by water temperature\, the concentration and chemical composition of dissolved organic carbon (DOC)\, nutrient availability\, and lake mixing. However\, certain aspects of individual controls\, such as the relative importance of different DOC compositions for BP\, as well as how these controls collectively influence BP at the whole-lake scale\, are poorly understood. My dissertation work will evaluate how BP is controlled at the ecosystem scale by answering three interconnected questions. First\, what is the relative importance of phytoplankton-derived DOC versus terrestrial-derived DOC for BP? Second\, what are the interactive effects of DOC composition and temperature on BP. And third\, how does weather variability\, including rapid changes in temperature\, affect BP in lakes? These questions will be answered by analyzing long-term BP and climate records\, and by experiments on DOC composition\, temperature fluctuation\, and DOC-temperature interactions.

I'll first present a few case studies to illustrate how constraints lead cultural products to take specific forms. Then\, using a model drawing on intuitions from ethnographies of craft\, techniques\, and sports\, I'll suggest that taking the constrained aspect of culture seriously can predict a specific distribution of learners’ outcomes and a punctuated evolutionary path\, and that\, importantly\, the amount of information needed to be transmitted from a teacher to a learner to attain high-fidelity transmission is low. Finally\, I'll present some of my ongoing work on how specific features of the contemporary world (complex social and technological systems) can also benefit from a constraints-based cultural evolutionary approach.

The conjecture of Lam\, Postnikov and Pylyavskyy states that\, if (lambda\, mu\, lambda'\, mu') obey certain natural inequalities\, then s_{lambda'} s_{mu'} - s_{lambda} s_{mu} is Schur nonnegative. We prove this conjecture. Our proof is based on two key ideas. First\, we introduce a new combinatorial model for Littlewood-Richardson coefficients which we name ``skeps\"\, which are similar to but distinct from Knutson and Tao's hives. Second\, we use tools from Murota's theory of L-convexity to prove an L-log-concavity theorem for skeps.

During their patronal feasts\, they perform the capture of the last Inka ruler by Francisco Pizarro’s men (1532). This tragic event brought an end to the largest empire of the pre-Hispanic Americas and initiated a new colonial order. In today’s communities\, the episode may be danced and chanted\, sometimes performed in faction fighting\, and more rarely acted out in Quechua and Spanish in the form of an outdoor stage drama. These commemorations include masses\, processions\, banquets\, and a variety of entertainments sponsored by lay volunteers\, who also embody the historical figures. But whatever their configuration\, the conquest reenactments differ from their historical reference: if some may stage the escape of the Inka leader\, most of them end with a fraternal agreement between joyful opponents. In fact\, the general atmosphere is one of rejoicing and lavish spending. While these performances strike the imagination\, this paper shows that they are nothing exceptional in the Iberian world and are rooted in colonial times. They thus offer ample materials for reflecting on the continuity over time of ritual institutions in a globalized world. They also lay a discussion on the local constructions of historical memory and their articulation with counterfactual histories. I will examine these two questions through an analysis combining materials from my own ethnographic fieldworks carried out in a small town in the Peruvian highlands\, and a critical epistemological approach.”\n\nIsabel Yaya McKenzie is associate professor of historical anthropology at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris) and former editor-in-chief of L’Homme. Revue française d’anthropologie. Her research in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia focuses on historical memory and the long-term reconfigurations of ritual institutions. Her first publications addressed how historical discourses and concepts of social reproduction among the Inkas intersected with political legitimacy. She also worked on contemporary utopias and systems of knowledge in the Andes. She is currently investigating the impact of migrations and the monetization of ceremonial services on the “cargo” ritual economy of rural communities.

In this talk I present a series of primed lexical decision experiments about how listeners recognize English words containing the sociostylistic variable ING (e.g.\, workin’ ~ working). First\, we cross the two variants in an affix priming design (e.g.\, jumpin’/jumping > thinkin’/thinking). We find that both -ing and -in’ variants robustly facilitate themselves and each other: jumpin’ does indeed facilitate both thinkin’ and thinking\, as does jumping. The strongest facilitation arises when both prime and target contain -in’\, but we do not detect differences in facilitation strength between the other three conditions\, contra the predictions of accounts rooted in prime/target similarity or prime canonicality. The extra boost in the -in’ > -in’ condition is lost when an unrelated trial intervenes between prime and target\, whereas general affix facilitation remains robust. We then move away from the affix priming design to show that when the prime is a monomorphemic noun containing ING (e.g.\, awning) and the target is a progressive verb\, then e.g. awnin’ facilitates thinkin’ but awning does not facilitate thinking. This asymmetry is not simply a property of the surface phonological strings: we do not find facilitation from e.g. dolphin to thinkin’. Finally\, to disambiguate between phonological derivation and stylistic incongruency as possible sources of the -in’ asymmetries\, we repeat the first experiment with Southern-accented stimuli intended to improve the expectedness of the -in’ variant in the experimental context. Under these conditions\, we no longer find significant evidence for the -in’ boost\, suggesting that listeners’ sociostylistic expectations modulate the priming effects. I discuss the implications for the grammatical locus of ING variation\, for how we study sociolinguistic variation in the lab\, and for the incorporation of variation into models of spoken word recognition.

Various monoids inside this mapping class group have been shown to correspond to geometric properties of the corresponding contact structures\, such as Stein Fillability\, Strong Fillability\, Weak Fillability\, Tightness etc. In the case of open books with planar (genus zero) pages\, Fillability of the underlying contact manifold was shown by Wendl to correspond to the existence of positive factorizations of the mapping class -- this is not true in higher genus. In recent work\, extending results of Lisi -- Van Horn-Morris -- Wendl\, we showed that using Spinal open books\, fillability of a contact 3-manifold can be interpreted as the existence of positive 'admissible' factorizations of a mapping class in the framed mapping class group of a planar surface. Using this\, we have recovered and improved existing fillability results on some torus bundles and surgeries on torus knots\, as well as classified the fillings of these manifolds. These are joint works with Hyunki Min and Luya Wang. The talk will introduce the notions of spinal open books and positive admissible factorizations\, and hopefully provide some insight into the four-dimensional workings that lead to the results.

Though they hail from different parts of the U.S. and have different backgrounds\, these young people share similar social and emotional challenges—especially at school where they are often interrupted\, avoided\, or discouraged from speaking because of their stutter. After meeting one another at an arts-based program at The Stuttering Association for the Young (SAY) in New York City\, they begin to experience an incredible transformation. Despite years of bullying and stigmatization\, they learn a revolutionary idea at the heart of SAY: that it's okay to stutter.\n\nHosted by the Ann Arbor Stuttering Awareness and Research Club (A2STAR) and the U-M Speech Neurophysiology Lab.

Our show this year is based on Avatar: the Last Airbender\, a series that has been quintessential for many Asian Americans. For much of our community\, Avatar was a rare moment in childhood media that allowed us to identify with heroes rather than side-characters or stereotypes. The world-building\, cultural practices\, and morals draw heavily from Asian cultures\, allowing Asian Americans to see elements of themselves reflected with depth\, strength\, and respect. In addition to representation\, whether it is between elements\, responsibilities\, and identities\, Avatar explores the idea of balance. Similar to the lives of many Asian American students\, we are forced to navigate through keeping a careful balance between being American and staying connected to our cultural heritage. Through our choreography and storytelling\, we aim to translate this ambiguity\, but also the community being Asian American. Beyond performance\, our event serves as a space for learning and artistic expression\, where diverse narratives can be recognized\, celebrated\, and shared with the wider campus community.

The piece features five talented performers who engage in repetitive iterations of the move\, with variations that explore the hidden poetry inherent in social and viral dances.\n\nWith its focus on a gesture that has moved from smaller communities to mainstream platforms\, the performance highlights issues of cultural exploitation and the dynamics of creative expression in the age of TikTok and internet virality. “What does it mean to have a billion-dollar video game company be able to capitalize off of something that comes from a Black space of creativity?” Nedd asks.

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

For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\" UID:146980-21900157@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260403T120057 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260404T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260404T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

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

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

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

The exhibition presents seven artists whose practices unfold through care—care for land\, for bodies\, for memory\, and for one another. Working across ritual\, non-linear time\, and intersectional inquiries into labor and domestic life\, these artists treat familial\, site-specific\, and sociopolitical histories as living structures rather than sealed archives. What We Tend features the work of MFA students River Forest Berry\, Michelle Cieloszczyk\, Zoë Dong\, Fiona Hoffer\, Michael ​“Modius Modi” King Jr.\, Michaela Nichelle\, and Sujay Saple.\n\nJoin us to celebrate the work of MFA graduate students at the Opening Reception on March 20 from 6 — 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served and artists will be present.\n\nPlease note: \n\nThroughout the exhibition\, visitors are encouraged to bring clean and empty aluminum cans to participate in Michaela Nichelle’s installation. \nThe exhibition will be closed to the public on Friday\, April 10.

The film meticulously gathers testimonies from the women\, many of whom were young at the time\, detailing the violence\, the loss of family members\, and the decades of trauma and stigma they carried in silence. By focusing on these women\, including the island's famous haenyeo (female free divers)\, the documentary provides a vital\, underrepresented perspective on a painful chapter of Korean history.

Please visit our events webpage https://myumi.ch/xwxE2 for future updates.\n\nThis event\, composed of two distinct parts\, is organized to commemorate the resilience of the people of Jeju Island and to honor the memory of those lost during the 4.3 Incident (1948–1954). One of the most harrowing chapters of modern Korean history\, the uprising and subsequent \"scorched earth\" operations resulted in the death of nearly 10% to 20% of the island’s population. Beyond the staggering loss of life\, the uprising carries profound geopolitical weight\; it was a desperate struggle against the division of the Korean Peninsula and a rejection of the remnants of Japanese colonial police structures. For decades\, this tragedy was officially silenced under the National Security Act\, forcing survivors to carry the burden of \"guilt by association\" in the shadows.\n \n We begin Part I of the event with a curated film screening documenting this historical arc—providing the essential context for the deep-seated scars left on the island. The screening will feature a selection of visual testimonies and cinematic works that bring this hidden history into the light. Among these is the award-winning \"Voices\" (2024)\, a profound documentary that specifically illuminates the long-shrouded experiences of the female survivors of the massacre. By focusing on the testimonies of the island's famous jahmnyeo (female free divers) and other women who carried the weight of trauma for decades\, the film provides a vital\, underrepresented perspective on state-sanctioned violence and the stigma of survival.\n \n Following the screening\, we move into a \"Postmemory Talk\" and \"Book Discussion\" on 2024 Nobel Laureate Han Kang’s latest novel\, *We Do Not Part*. The talk explores the ethical responsibility of the \"generation after\" to engage with a past they did not personally live through\, reclaiming victims' identities from political labels like \"rebels\" and restoring them to their humanity. Part II then transitions into a dedicated book discussion and initial discussion of Kang's masterpiece. Through the persistent imagery of Jeju’s snow and wind\, the novel illustrates that mourning is not a process with an end\, but a continuous act of communal witnessing. This segment offers a space for collective reflection on themes of friendship\, sacrifice\, and the archival preservation of memory\, ensuring that the snow of the past never fully covers the truth of the present.

With roughly 300 performers and 1\,300 audience members\, GenAPA stands as the largest student-run pan-Asian cultural programs. Promoting cultural diversity through tradition and history remains intrinsic to the core values of GenAPA.\n\nThis year’s theme\, “Lucid\,” captures the essence of awareness and intentionality in art and expression. To be lucid is to see clearly and understand the layers of history\, emotion\, and identity that shape creativity within the A/PIA community. The show invites performers and audiences alike to reflect on what it means to create art in a world that often oversimplifies or stereotypes their stories. Through our show\, we aim to celebrate cultural heritage while empowering students to define their identity on their own terms.\n\nHeadliner: BIXBY (ihatebixby @ IG)\n\nGroups Featured:\nFASA Pamana\nGreenwood\nK-Gayo-3\nMichigan Masala\nMichigan Mayuri\nMichigan Sahana\nMiMSA\nMoli Collective (Jazz + Jasmine)\nMuay Thai\nQingyun Chinese Music Ensemble\nrXn\nVeryUs UID:141648-21889132@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141648 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Asia,Asian Pacific Islander American Community,Culture,Dance,Diversity Equity and Inclusion,Multicultural,Student Org LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260325T181524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260404T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260309T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Water Polo vs Indiana DESCRIPTION:Water Polo vs Indiana UID:146322-21898878@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics LOCATION:Donald B.

The piece features five talented performers who engage in repetitive iterations of the move\, with variations that explore the hidden poetry inherent in social and viral dances.\n\nWith its focus on a gesture that has moved from smaller communities to mainstream platforms\, the performance highlights issues of cultural exploitation and the dynamics of creative expression in the age of TikTok and internet virality. “What does it mean to have a billion-dollar video game company be able to capitalize off of something that comes from a Black space of creativity?” Nedd asks. He explores the “algorhythm” of viral dances\, asking whether a dance move or gesture can really belong to someone\, and if so\, who really benefits.

As the calendar pages have turned\, for almost a quarter of a century now\, this poet laureate of the folk and roots music world has gone about his work with a combination of passion\, intent and intensity\, and curiosity.\n\nFusing his insatiable appetite for finding the next unique storyline Keelaghan also forges his pieces with brilliantly defined craftsmanship and a monogrammed artistic vision\, making him one of the most distinctive and readily identifiable voices of not only the Canadian scene\, but as a member of the international singer-songwriter community.\n\nAdmiration and respect for his work amongst his peers is best summed up by David Francey who recently stated that\, “James Keelaghan is a voice in contemporary Canadian songwriting that has helped us define who we are as a people. He writes with great humanity and honesty\, with an eye to the past and a vision of the future. He has chronicled his times with powerful and abiding songs\, with heart and eyes wide open.” UID:140951-21887859@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140951 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260401T121630 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260404T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260404T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:Sophia Bracken\, clarinet & Alan Cook\, flute DESCRIPTION:Graduate students Sophia Bracken & Alan Cook perform a joint chamber music recital in collaboration with other players.
