In many ways that record defined me\, as well as launched me into a now over 20 year long career that has made me who I am. It was after 10 years of playing in bars\, making cassettes and EPs to sell at my shows\, singing backup for my brother Rufus\, falling in love and out of love and in again\, practicing\, writing\, singing until I could barely sing anymore\, partying\, walking for hours and hours\, crying and laughing with friends\, playing with musicians and listening to great artists working with my ex-husband in the studio for 2 years that created this first record. \n\nLabels wouldn't sign me when I started and I had to craft\, with the help of many people\, an album that would finally be licensed and released in 2005. My first record tells my story and when it was finally released I was able to work and tour and have a career in music - something that I always wanted but wasn't sure would happen. 20 years later\, with 6 other albums under my belt\, 2 kids and a career that is chugging along\, I can safely say that my first record paved my way forward and I'm very proud of it and still sing many of these early songs. \n\nOn March 21st we will release the record on vinyl for the first time ever\, as well as digitally release unheard songs\, outtakes and early material from that 10 year period of discovery that led to my first record. And along with the re-release there will be a tour (with more dates being announced soon)\, with a few great musicians\, where I'll play the record in its entirety as well as a few new songs - there's no 48 year old me without the 28 year old me. \n\nWith love and gratitude\,\nMartha” UID:127732-21859594@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127732 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250228T181839 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Performing Arts Technology Showcase DESCRIPTION:Students from the Department of Performing Arts Technology (PAT) present a showcase of performances.

Each story performed on stage serves as a unique ingredient on this metaphorical charcuterie board\, offering the audience a carefully curated selection of moments—some sharp with tension\, others rich with emotion\, and some subtly profound. Just like a well-balanced board\, every scene contributes something distinct\, creating an experience that is both diverse and immersive\, leaving the audience with a taste of many different perspectives and storytelling styles.

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.

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.

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.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621551@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250323T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250323T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

From the perspective of the city herself\, voiced by Palestinian actress Maisa Abd Elhadi\, the viewer is guided through the lifespan of a five-thousand-year-old city and its residents. Lyd was once a thriving Palestinian city with a rich history. In 636AD\, It was even considered the first capital of Palestine. When the State of Israel was founded in 1948\, Lyd became an Israeli city\, and in the process\, hundreds of Lyd’s Palestinian residents were massacred by Israeli forces\, and most of the city’s 50\,000 Palestinian residents were exiled. Today\, the city has a Jewish Israeli majority and a Palestinian minority and is disinvested and divided by racism and violence. For Palestinians\, Lyd’s story is a painful and tragic fall from grace\, which is why our film dares to ask the question: what would the city be like had the Israeli occupation of Lyd never happened?\n \n Using never-before-seen archival footage of the Israeli soldiers who carried out the massacre and expulsion\, the city explains that these events were so devastating that they fractured her reality\, and now there are two Lyds –– one occupied and one free. As the film unfolds\, documentary portions follow a chorus of characters through their daily lives\, creating a tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city\, and vivid animations use the language of speculative fiction to envision an alternate reality where the same documentary characters live free from the trauma of the past and the violence of the present. As the film cuts between fantastical and documentary realities\, it ultimately leaves the viewer questioning which future should prevail.\n\nThis screening is a part of the Falasteen on Screen Film Festival\, brought to you by Marquee Arts\, Islamic Studies\, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Middle East Studies\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, Department of Anthropology\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the International Institute\, Program in International and Comparative Studies\, Department of Film\, Television\, & Media\, Imagine Fitness and Yoga\, Palestine Aid Society of America.\n \nThe festival highlights the work of Palestinian filmmakers and serves as a platform for educating audiences about the history\, culture\, and experiences of Palestinians. Our goal is to provide a deeper understanding of life under occupation through compelling narratives that span past and present. The festival will take place in person at both the Michigan and State Theaters in Ann Arbor.\n \n2025 Falasteen on Screen Film Lineup:\nFebruary 17th: Double Feature of Short Films from Gaza: *Ahmad Alive* & *Bisan*\nFebruary 26th: *Life is Beautiful\, A Letter to Gaza*\nMarch 23rd: *Lyd* – Q&A with the filmmaker & U-M alumna\, Mekarem Eljamal\n \n More info: https://marquee-arts.org/FILM-SERIES/\n \n If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact islamicstudies@umich.edu.

One of them is a folksy sort of night-patrol or march\, and the other a romantic serenade\, complete with guitar and mandolin. The movement between them evokes goblins and spirits in a macabre dance. From these nightwalks and nightsongs\, there are bells and drums and brass fanfares\, as a brightly lit and positive view of the world emerges. \n\nKenneth Kiesler\, conductor\n\nPROGRAM\nMahler\, Symphony No. 7 UID:122674-21849520@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122674 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Free,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240925T130645 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250323T193000 SUMMARY:Performance:Newberry & Verch DESCRIPTION:A seamless blend of Canadian and Ozark/Appalachian styles\n\nGrowing up\, Joe Newberry and April Verch absorbed traditions of home and hearth – in his Missouri Ozarks and her Ottawa Valley of Canada. Although they are on the road much of the year\, the two musicians are fond of saying that they are rarely homesick\, because their music means they always have a bit of home with them wherever they go.\nJoe Newberry comes from a family of singers and dancers. He took up the guitar and banjo as a boy and learned fiddle tunes from great Missouri fiddlers. April Verch grew up listening to her dad’s country band play for dances in the Ottawa Valley. She started step dancing at age three and fiddling at age six. In a Newberry & Verch show\, delighted audiences see first-hand the roots of their music\, their love of performing\, and their strong musical connection. Original songs join timeless classics. Stories warm the heart\, and give audiences a chance to understand where the music comes from.\n\nKnown around the world for his clawhammer banjo playing\, Newberry is also a powerful guitarist\, singer and songwriter. The Gibson Brothers’ version of his song “Singing As We Rise\,” featuring guest vocalist Ricky Skaggs\, won the 2012 IBMA “Gospel Recorded Performance” Award. With Eric Gibson\, he shared the 2013 IBMA “Song of the Year” Award for “They Called It Music.” A longtime guest on A Prairie Home Companion\, he was a featured singer on the Transatlantic Sessions 2016 tour of the U.K.\, and at the Transatlantic Session’s debut at Merlefest in 2017. \n\nBefore launching her professional career\, Verch was the first woman to win both the Canadian Grand Masters and Canadian Open Fiddling Championships. In 2000\, she formed “The April Verch Band\,” and together they have toured the world\, performing in 18 different countries. She has released 14 solo recordings to date\, receiving JUNO\, Canadian Folk Music and Independent Music nominations and awards for several of those releases. Verch was one of 6 fiddlers who represented the Canadian fiddle tradition to the world at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver\, as part of a segment called “Fiddle Nation” featured in the Opening Ceremonies.\n\nWhether it is the power of two voices lifted in harmony\, or the sound of traditional tunes calling people to get up and move\, these two masters of tradition put on an unforgettable show. And\, when their feet kick up the dust in perfect rhythm and those two voices become one\, Joe Newberry and April Verch make folks remember why this music existed in the first place.

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

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

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s.

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

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

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

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

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

Mathematical GR is the study of gravitation through analysis of the Einstein equations\, which link the matter content of our universe to its geometry. It uses techniques from geometric analysis and nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) in order to prove rigorous mathematical theorems that answer questions from physics. The first subject in this dissertation is linear first order hyperbolic systems of PDE in a double null foliation. The second is the formation of trapped surfaces in general relativity. Prior to these\, we provide a brief introduction to the main ideas of mathematical general relativity which are featured in this thesis.\n\nA double null foliation is a particular type of foliation of spacetime which is well-suited to the study of gravitational radiation. Gravitational waves propagate along the hypersurfaces defined by a double null foliation. The Bianchi identities for the Riemann curvature of a vacuum spacetime exhibit a hyperbolic structure which has been used to obtain detailed nonlinear estimates on the null curvature components. In the first main work of this dissertation\, we introduce the notion of a double null hyperbolic system of equations and prove a global existence and uniqueness theorem for these systems. We then discuss the relationship between these systems and the Bianchi equations. We also derive a novel algebraic constraint which must be satisfied\, at every point in the spacetime\, by tensor fields satisfying the linearized Bianchi equations (the linearized Bianchi equations are obtained from the usual Bianchi equations by replacing the null Weyl tensor components with unknown tensorfields). This work has potential applications in the study of gravitational waves\, as well as in any system where the null structure is paramount\, such as Einstein-null dust\, Einstein-massless Vlasov\, or Einstein-Maxwell.\n\nIn the second main work of this dissertation\, which is based on joint work with Lydia Bieri\, Neel Patel\, and Pengyu Le\, we prove a trapped surface formation result for a certain class of null dust spacetimes\, extending the seminal work of Christodoulou. This result extends to past null infinity. We show that if the incoming energy due to gravitation or null dust radiation is sufficiently large\, then a trapped surface will form. In particular\, we show that a trapped surface can form solely due to the concentration of null dust radiation\, in the absence of any gravitational energy. Trapped surfaces are closely related to black holes\; a spacetime which contains a closed trapped surface and a complete future null infinity necessarily contains a black hole\, with the trapped surface inside. The initial data constructed in this work is in the large data regime\, is quite general\, and can be arbitrarily far from already containing a trapped surface. New ideas are needed and developed to analyze the matter introduced in this work.

Some of these perspectives have focused on the idea of emptiness and vacancy\, depicting space as lacking connections or relationships. By portraying places as “empty”\, we risk overlooking the care\, relationships\, and connections that already exist in these places. In our collaborative mapping workshop\, happening on March 24th from 3-5pm at the UM Detroit Center\, we aim to tell a different story: Detroit is not empty. By co-developing maps that visualize networks of people\, nature\, and their relationships\, we will identify the many ways in which care and connection are happening. We will together reflect on what this collective “big picture” of nature might mobilize for Detroit’s communities. The maps and networks that we create during the workshop will be shared with all participants and we hope the workshop can spark conversations over drinks and snacks\, uncover new collaboration opportunities\, and offer fresh perspectives on landscapes in Detroit.

You probably have some idea\, or at least you know it when you see it. You probably also know that this is a trick question. In practice\, it’s not hard to know a poem when you see one: it appears in lines or it rhymes or it’s called poetry even if it looks like prose. In theory\, everyone knows you are not supposed to answer the question. This talk will address the relation between determinate practice and indeterminate theory in modern (post-eighteenth-century) Anglo-American poetics.

Perseverative coping or the chronic and continuous contemplation about symptoms\, causes\, and consequences of distress represents an important\, yet under-explored mechanism that may explain and exacerbate the deleterious consequences of racial discrimination. Drawing from recent and forthcoming work from Dr. Bernard\, this presentation will highlight how perseverative coping can influence the discrimination-mental health link among Black youth and emerging adults. Additionally\, this presentation will discuss the value of considering perseverative coping as a culturally relevant\, malleable intervention target that can reduce negative mental health sequalae in the aftermath of racism-related experiences.\n\nDr. Donte Bernard’s program of research examines the direct and indirect pathways by which racism compromises the mental and behavioral health and well-being of Black children\, adolescents\, and emerging adults. Anchored by cultural ecological models recognizing the importance of risk and resilience at the individual and contextual level\, his research leverages both quantitative and qualitative methods to identify how Black youth identify\, cope with\, and navigate racism-related experiences across sensitive developmental periods. Ultimately\, the goal of his research is to eliminate racial disparities in mental and behavioral health through informing policy and intervention development targeting the reduction of racism and its related health consequences.\n\nMyles Durkee hosts.\n\nThe Winter 2025 RCGD Seminar Series will feature speakers invited and hosted by faculty affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics. These multidisciplinary talks will cover a variety of topics in social science\, including social cognition\, structural racism\, romantic relationships\, and cognitive health. Check the schedule for updates to this series that will convene on select Mondays at 3:30 at the Institute for Social Research.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.

An edge-Kempe switch swaps the two colors on a maximal two-color chain of edges\, and these moves partition the edge colorings of a graph into edge-Kempe equivalence classes. Ruth Haas and sarah-marie belcastro proved that a 3-regular\, 3-edge-colored\, planar\, bipartite graph has one edge-Kempe equivalence class. In this talk\, we will discuss that proof and speculate on its applications to webs. We will also count the edge-Kempe equivalence classes of some nonplanar\, bipartite\, 3-regular graphs.

Under the assumption that K is absolutely unramified\, I will describe an alternative approach to obtaining such a bound using Wach modules and q–crystalline cohomology. The resulting bound is stronger than the one obtained via Breuil-Kisin theory\, and in particular\, it is able to distinguish the good reduction case from the more general case of semistable reduction.

Unlike other articles of incorporation submitted by sixteenth-century Spanish subjects\, their company was time-bound\, authorized for six years\, focused on extracting the sacred guaca (living site of offerings) of Manducalla. Each investor was identified in a different way\, as an index of their race\, gender\, and artisan status: Hernán Garcia\, of African descent (\"mulato\")\; Mari Flores\, \"his wife\" (\"su muger\")\; Blas García\, of Indigenous ancestry (\"mestizo\")\; and Juan Vallejo\, chairmaker (\"sillero\"). In this talk\, I compare the terms of the 1569 contract with a similar proposal awarded in 1636 by Spanish colonial officials\, treasurers Pedro de Sanabria and Juan de los Reyes\, \"discoverers and knowers\" of a guaca whose rights of extraction they seek to award to Father Pedro Garrido. Unlike the earlier example\, this case dragged on for nearly 20 years. By looking at the legal language of possession\, discovery\, and extraction in the two cases\, this talk examines how race and gender intersected with state-sanctioned sacred and technical knowledge from the late sixteenth-century into the mid-seventeenth century.

Russia Beyond Putin DESCRIPTION:Doors open to the public at 4:30 p.m. Seating will be limited and on a first-come\, first served basis.\n\nKremlin propaganda wants the world to believe that all Russians support Vladimir Putin and his war of aggression in Ukraine. But the reality is very different: beyond the Putin regime\, and despite its breathtaking repression\, many Russians believe in a very different—hopeful\, peaceful\, democratic—future for their country. In this lecture\, Vladimir Kara-Murza\, a Russian opposition politician\, author\, historian\, and former political prisoner who was freed as part of a large-scale East-West prisoner exchange in August 2024\, will speak about the opposition\, the state of human rights\, and the struggle for democracy in Putin’s Russia.\n\n Vladimir Kara-Murza is a Russian politician\, author\, historian\, and former political prisoner. A close colleague of the slain opposition leader Boris Nemtsov\, he has served as deputy leader of the People’s Freedom Party and was a candidate for the Russian Parliament. Leading diplomatic efforts on behalf of the opposition\, Kara-Murza played a key role in the adoption of Magnitsky sanctions against top Russian officials by the United States\, United Kingdom\, European Union\, Canada\, and Australia. For this work he was twice poisoned and left in a coma\; a joint media investigation by *Bellingcat*\, *The Insider*\, and *Der Spiegel* has identified FSB officers behind the attacks. In April 2022\, Kara-Murza was arrested in Moscow for publicly denouncing the invasion of Ukraine and the war crimes committed by Russian forces. Following a closed-door trial at the Moscow City Court\, he was sentenced to 25 years for “high treason” and kept in solitary confinement at a maximum-security prison in Siberia. He was released in August 2024 as part of the largest East-West prisoner exchange since the Cold War negotiated by the U.S. and German governments.\n\nKara-Murza is a contributing writer at *The Washington Post*\, winning the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for his columns written from prison\, and has previously worked for Echo of Moscow\, BBC\, RTVi\, *Kommersant*\, *World Affairs*\, and other media organizations. He currently serves as vice-president at the Free Russia Foundation\, as senior advisor at Human Rights First\, and as senior fellow at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights. He was the founding chairman of the Boris Nemtsov Foundation for Freedom and has led successful international efforts to commemorate Nemtsov\, including with street designations in Washington D.C. and London. Kara-Murza is a recipient of several awards\, including the Council of Europe’s Václav Havel Human Rights Prize\, and is an honorary fellow at Trinity Hall\, Cambridge.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

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

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

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

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

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

However\, the nonlinear nature of rigid body motion introduces significant challenges\, making problems such as motion planning\, feedback control\, and state estimation inherently nonconvex and difficult to solve.\n \nIn this thesis\, I first present a unified modeling framework based on matrix Lie groups\, which captures the rich algebraic and geometric structures of rigid body systems to enable systematic analysis and computation. Building on this foundation\, I exploit the underlying polynomial structures of matrix Lie groups to develop globally optimal and certifiable solutions to these robotics problems via convex optimization. Notably\, I address the kinodynamic motion planning problem — ensuring both kinematic and dynamic feasibility — for 3D rigid body systems with global optimality guarantees. I then introduce the Generalized Moment Kalman Filter\, a novel extension of Kalman filtering theory from linear Gaussian systems to nonlinear polynomial systems with arbitrary noise distributions. This generalization enables more robust and accurate state estimation in complex robotic systems. Finally\, I leverage the geometric properties of matrix Lie groups to design efficient local gradient-based solvers tailored for rigid body systems. In particular\, I present the Riemannian Direct Trajectory Optimization framework\, which ensures geometric compatibility while enabling fast and efficient motion planning.\n \nTogether\, these contributions provide a comprehensive set of tools for certifiable\, efficient\, and geometrically consistent motion planning and state estimation in rigid body robotic systems.\n\n1000 Robotics Atrium\,\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/98764011774 \nMeeting ID: 987 6401 1774 \nPasscode: 83112 UID:134078-21873839@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134078 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building - 1000 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250319T181658 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SMTD Alumni Award Lecture & Reception with Alexandra Beller (BFA ’94\, dance) DESCRIPTION:Join us as the Department of Dance honors special guest artist and dance alum Alexandra Beller as she is presented with the 2024 Professional Achievement in Dance Award from the SMTD Alumni Board.\n\n10–11am - Presentation / Lecture -\nDance Performance Studio Theatre (Studio 1\, Room 1040)\n\n11am–12pm - Lunch Reception with Informal Talk - \nPerry K.

Even compared to other jobs for those without college degrees\, service work is characterized by shorter tenure and less access to full-time hours\, patterns that are visible in national data and are more pronounced for those with children. In novel data collected through daily text-message reports from hourly service workers with young children\, we document additional patterns of volatility that have not previously been visible: in particular\, daily and weekly volatility in work hours. We show that this volatility requires workers aiming to maximize their earnings to set aside many more hours for work than they are actually paid for–on average\, twice as many. We develop novel statistics to capture these forms of volatility and to describe their sources. Finally\, we discuss the implications of these findings for both means-tested programs and earnings-linked tax credits\, the two major forms of income support provided by the federal government to families with children.

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’....

DESCRIPTION:Higher retirement savings might not translate into net wealth accumulation if\, rather than cutting spending\, individuals reduce their non-retirement savings or take on more debt. We use newly merged deposit-\, credit-\, and pension-account data from a large UK financial institution to examine a national policy that gradually increased retirement contributions from 2% to 8% of salary between March 2018 and April 2019. For every £1 reduction in take-home pay due to higher employee contributions\, employees cut their spending by £0.34\, especially in the restaurant and leisure categories\, and financed the remainder with lower deposit balances and higher debt. Those with lower initial deposit balances cut their spending the most\, while those with significant liquid savings first draw down their deposits. We use a lifecycle model calibrated to match the observed short-term responses to predict that long-run spending responses are larger but feature similar heterogeneity. Finally\, we examine the welfare consequences of potential policy reforms using a sufficient statistics approach. A social planner concerned about undersaving for retirement due to heterogeneous present bias would avoid targeting retirement interventions at high-liquidity individuals\, who are both less likely to cut their spending and less likely to be present-biased.

To explain this wealth of defense traits\, researchers have developed a body of theory that uses patterns of ecological pressures in the environment to predict investment in defense\, but the importance of biological and geographic scale in determining which selective pressures dominate is only beginning to be tested. In this dissertation\, I explore the patterns and processes of defense trait evolution in plants\, examining whether defense investment across scales matches up with plant defense theory. Using the wild grape genus Vitis as my primary study system\, I synthesize comparative trait and occurrence data with mechanistic investigations of the processes that shape trait investment. In my first two chapters\, I use a phylogenetic framework to compare and contrast how patterns of trait evolution match up to plant defense theory depending on whether they are evaluated at the intraspecific or interspecific scale\, while considering a large body of traits associated with defense. I found that trait-trait correlations are rare across Vitis species compared to trait-environment correlations\, but that both types of interactions are scale-dependent. These results suggest that defenses in grape largely evolve independent of each other\, but that features of the environment thought to correlate with herbivory pressure are relatively better predictors of defense trait evolution. My third and fourth chapters center on calcium oxalate crystals in plant leaves\, an understudied trait that I use as a model to understand the mechanisms of plant defense evolution. As long as we have known about calcium oxalate crystal presence in plants\, researchers have believed that these structures are defensive against herbivory\, but recent literature has challenged that assumption. Through a systematic literature survey\, I find that crystal morphologies correlate differentially with geographic parameters\, suggesting that this morphological variation evolved in response to different ecological pressures. Additionally\, through experimental diet manipulations using a generalist herbivore\, I find that Vitis riparia-derived crystals do not operate as a defense against chewing arthropods\, but do seem to serve as a dynamic storage system for calcium in grape. By linking phylogenetic comparative and experimental approaches in tests of theory\, my dissertation provides us with a broader understanding of plant defense evolution in wild grape and beyond.\n\nThis is a hybrid event. \nJoin remotely: Join Remotely: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94285293918\nMeeting ID: 942 8529 3918\nPasscode: tuesem UID:133720-21873484@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133720 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biological science,Biology,department of ecology and evolutionary biology,Dissertation,ecology,Ecology & Biology,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,eeb,Graduate School,Graduate Students,Herbarium,Museum - Herbarium,Museum - Zoology,Museum Of Zoology,science,zoology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250313T134409 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE Faculty-Student Lunch: Prof. Julie Ivy DESCRIPTION:Please fill out the form to the right if you would like to attend the faculty-student lunch with Prof. Julie Ivy on Tuesday\, March 25th from 12:00 - 1:00pm!

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

Little is known about these performers and their work because these “archives of embarrassment” have been obscured by liberal identitarian desires for the “authentic” or “real” Asian American subject. I argue that these performers’ supporting roles\, background parts\, walk-ons\, and other sundry acting or acting-adjacent jobs produce what I call “Asian American non-stardom\,” and that this racialized labor has been foundational to the American entertainment industry.\n\nMelissa Phruksachart is a 2024-25 John Rich Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanitied and Assistant Professor of Film\, Television\, & Media.

One of the central examples of this principle is the noetherianity of the infinite variable polynomial ring R=C[x_1\,x_2\,...] with the action of the infinite symmetric group \frakS permuting variables. In this thesis\, we further develop the equivariant commutative algebra of R by studying symmetric R-modules\, i.e.\, R-modules equipped with a compatible \frakS-action. In particular\, we study the local behavior of such modules over the \frakS-prime ideals h_n=(x_i^n:i\geq 1)\, and prove a number of structural results on the category of symmetric R/h_n-modules\, including giving a semi-orthogonal decomposition and generators for the bounded derived category of modules.\n\nAn important tool for our study is representation theory of various combinatorial categories\, such as a generalization of FI to a weighted setting. By proving an equivalence between weighted FI-modules and modules over infinite variable polynomial rings that are equivariant with respect to parabolic subgroups of the infinite general linear group\, we give finiteness properties of weighted FI-modules\, such as the rationality of an analogue of the Hilbert series and finite generation of local cohomology. Along the way\, we relate the polynomial representation theory of these parabolic subgroups to generalizations of Schur functors from categories consisting of flags of vector spaces.
