At the U-M Medical School\, she co-developed and co-teaches the History of Race and Racism in Medicine course for students\, faculty\, and staff\, helping future healthcare providers understand the historical roots of contemporary health disparities. Dr. Kneff-Chang holds a BA in Peace & Conflict Studies from the University of California\, Berkeley\; an MA in Educational Leadership & Policy from the University of Michigan\; and a PhD in Educational Foundations from the University of Michigan.

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

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

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).

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

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.

Over the past twenty years since the publication of \"Righteous Propagation\" (2004)\, as well as the past twenty-five years since her landmark “Silences Broken\, Silences Kept\,” essay (Gender & History\, 1999)\, scholars have drawn on Mitchell’s work\, mentorship\, and intellectual generosity to produce their own cutting-edge scholarship.\n\nThis two-day symposium features four panels that consider Mitchell’s contributions to histories of African American politics\, gender and sexuality\, childhood and the family\, and African American and African diaspora studies. We hope you can join us as we return to these two foundational works to explore their historiographical\, methodological\, and epistemological impact.\n\nThursday\, March 27\n1014 Tisch Hall\n\n4:00-5:30 pm: Welcome and Plenary Panel\n Nancy MacLean (Duke University)\n Michele Mitchell (New York University)\n Kidada Williams (Wayne State University)\n N.D.B.

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. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

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.

We first provide definitive evidence that tariff-exposed firms shifted production to locations that did not face tariffs\, and that domestic prices increased relative to other markets. We then develop a structural model to analyze welfare and employment effects. We find that the tariffs led to modest gains for manufacturers with domestic operations\, but larger losses in domestic consumer surplus and environmental benefits. Furthermore\, the tariffs reduced domestic solar industry employment and wages on net. By contrast\, subsidizing solar panel manufacturing could increase domestic production\, employment\, and welfare.

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:84303-21621555@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:20250325T141849 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T123000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Southeast Asian Noodle Day DESCRIPTION:Join us for Southeast Asian Noodle Day!

Although scholars have often dubbed this phenomenon \"the revolution in logistics\,\" in this paper I argue that the so-called 'logistics revolution' is better understood as a counter-revolution.\n\nAs anti-colonial leaders and trade unions in Southeast Asia pursued economic sovereignty during the “Third World’s” transition to independence\, they nationalized industry\, seized colonial property\, and sought to build national shipping and industrial capacity. To contain this threat to private enterprise\, US and UK shipping corporations\, backed by their states\, pursued the globalization of supply chain infrastructures.\n\nFocusing on a swathe of nationalizations of Dutch and British merchant\, shipping\, and plantation corporations in Indonesia from 1960-66\, this talk examines how shipping containerization only became viable when it aided imperial containment strategy. As I argue\, bringing the history of logistics into conversation with decolonizing workers' and nationalist struggles in Southeast Asia transforms our understanding of the logistics counter-revolution\, positioning it as a reactionary political project that consolidated colonial power into new economic forms.\n\nTracing the historical conjecture of the rise of logistics with the end of formal empire\, I ask: What did the rise of logistics look like from the vantage of the decolonizing of the global south?

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

In batched adaptive settings where the decision at one stage can affect the observation of variables in later stages\, our asymptotic representation characterizes all limit distributions attainable through a joint choice of an adaptive design rule and statistics applied to the adaptively generated data. This facilitates local power analysis of tests\, comparison of adaptive treatments rules\, and other analyses of batchwise sequential statistical decision rules.

A Biography of Decolonization in Cold War Southeast Asia DESCRIPTION:This paper revisits mid-20th century Asia\, Southeast Asia especially when the promise of decolonization met the perils of the Cold War. Theoretically\, it argues for an eventful geography of decolonization based on the actions\, perspectives\, and biographies of historical actors. Empirically\, it discusses the life and work of Oey Hong Lee (1924-1992)\, a visionary intellectual\, activist\, and journalist from Indonesia. His Indonesian-language book “Asia Won in Dien Bien Phu” (1961) narrates the diplomatic and military struggles between France and Vietnam that ended the First Indochina War (1946-54). In dialog with anti-colonial theorists Aime Cesaire\, Frantz Fanon\, and others\, Oey advanced a regional understanding that balanced contextual nuance with geopolitical imperative. In contrast to his better-known contemporaries\, Oey focused on the regional tensions between decolonization and geopolitical struggle\, analyzing less the universalizing binary between colonizer and colonized and more the specific histories of place\, in this case\, Vietnam and Indonesia. In so doing\, he rejected the regional construct of Southeast Asia as a creature of American-led Cold War machinations in favor of an emancipatory idea of Asia positioned at the vanguard of decolonizing world order. All the while\, Oey navigated a political landscape in Indonesia that\, between 1955-65\, was roiling with Cold War intrigue\, nativist Islam\, and anti-Chinese sentiment that ultimately forced him into exile.\n\n If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact cseas@umich.edu.

Unlike the conventional supervised learning method that treats the model as a black box\, our approach leverages additional model sensitivity information\, extracted via solving forward or adjoint sensitivity equations. This sensitivity information is integrated into the surrogate’s architecture and training process based on rigorous error analysis. We refer to such a surrogate construction as DINO (derivative-informed neural operator).\nDINO offers two key advantages over conventional surrogate construction. First\, it significantly improves the cost-accuracy trade-off for a wide range of models\, often by one to two orders of magnitude. Second\, it directly controls the surrogate Jacobian (Fréchet derivative) errors\, thus enhancing performance in surrogate-driven outer-loop problems that use gradient- and Hessian-based optimization algorithms. We demonstrate DINO’s capability to accelerate infinite-dimensional Bayesian inversion. First\, we show that geometric MCMC driven by DINO achieves a 2–9x speed up in asymptotically exact posterior sampling. Second\, we introduce LazyDINO\, a DINO-driven measure transport method for amortized Bayesian inversion\, which is one to two orders of magnitude more cost-efficient than competing methods.\nThis talk is based on joint work with Michael Brennan\, Joshua Chen\, Omar Ghattas\, Youssef Marzouk\, and Thomas O’Leary-Roseberry.\n\nShort bio: Dr. Lianghao Cao is a Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate from Department of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at California Institute of Technology.

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.

Maier DESCRIPTION:It has been known since 1967 that exposure to stressors over which the organism has no behavioral control produce a constellation of behavioral and neurochemical sequelae that do not occur if an element of behavioral control over the stressor is possible. “Learned Helplessness” points of view developed by me and Seligman explained this difference by arguing that when confronted with an uncontrollable stressor the organism learns that it is uncontrollable\, and that this learning sets off a cascade of events that produce the behavioral and neurochemical outcomes. Here\, controllable aversive events fail to produce the outcomes because they lack the critical element of uncontrollability\, not because they lead to an active process. Recent neurocircuitry work will be described which indicates that this original view had it exactly backwards. Instead\, a) specific circuits (prelimbic cortex to dorsomedial striatum and mediodorsal thalamus to prelimbic cortex) detect/process the presence of control\, and b) when control is detected separate projections from the prelimbic cortex actively inhibit stress-responsive limbic and brainstem structures that are activated by both uncontrollable and controllable aversive events and that are the proximate mediators of the behavioral changes. In addition\, there are strong sex differences in these processes which will be described. Finally\, implications of this neurocircuitry work\, especially for controllable stressor-induced changes in behavior outside the realm of aversively motivated behavior\, such as generalized persistence/perseverance\, will be discussed.\n\nAbout the speaker: Steven Maier has been University of Colorado Distinguished Professor and the Director of the Center for Neuroscience\, and is currently Research Professor. He has received numerous awards including the Grawemeyer Award\, the Norman Cousins and Neal Miller Distinguished Lectureships\, The D. O. Hebb Distinguished Research Award and the Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions from the APA\, and is a Fellow of the APA\, APS\, and AAAS. He has held both career and MERIT awards from the NIH\, has been continuously funded by the NIH for 35 years\, has served on numerous NIH study sections\, and has edited and been on the editorial boards of numerous journals. He has authored or co-authored over 500 scientific papers in refereed journals\, and numerous book chapters. His h-index is 159\, his i10 index is 484\, and his citations are in excess of 90\,000. He has been rated as among the 200 most influential psychologists since World War II by Diener\, et al. (2014).\n\nDr. Maier’s research falls into two broad areas. One centers on an exploration of the variables that modulate the impact of stressors on brain chemistry\, and the neurochemical mechanisms by which stressors alter behavior and mood. Recent work focuses on the role of the medial prefrontal cortex in producing resilience. The other centers on interactions between the brain and the immune system\, with study of both how the brain regulates immune processes and how products of immune cells signal the brain. Current emphasis is on understanding mechanisms of immune-to-brain signaling at pathway\, cellular and molecular levels\, and the implications of these pathways for understanding stress\, mood disturbances\, and cognitive impairment\, and long-Covid.

The forms of visibility\, invisibility (and everything in between) that numbers produce can reinforce or redress inequalities\, shape political processes\, and help to forge or threaten group identities. Drawing on examples from different institutional spheres—educational rankings\, LGBTQ politics in the U.S.\, and political polling in recent U.S. presidential races\, I discuss how the forms of legibility and obscurity\, and the type of comparisons that numbers generate\, can deeply influence where organizations invest\, how they understand each other\, and how groups decide\, predict and protest. I call for greater\, more systematic scholarly attention to the dimensions and relations of quantitative visibility as an important theoretical concept\, and to the conditions the shape its effects\, for those who study quantification and organizations.

For a separate identification\, we consider two reputation-building environments with a two-dimensional belief domain\, where lying without deception occurs in one environment and deception without lying occurs in the other environment as a unique equilibrium phenomenon. The choice data collected in the lab enable us to differentiate between individuals' aversion to making statements that are literally untrue (lying aversion) and their aversion to statements intended to manipulate others' beliefs (deception aversion)\, controlling for inference errors.

This talk will focus on the fibers of these maps. We prove that the stratification on these fibers induced by the natural stratification of $\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}^d$ is a cell decomposition\, doing so by providing a parametrization for each stratum. We also show that the face poset for this cell decomposition is the face poset of a regular CW complex\, namely the interior dual block complex of a subword complex. We prove that these interior dual block complexes of subword complexes are contractible. I will describe several of the ingredients that go into this work\, providing background and examples along the way. This is joint work with Jim Davis and Ezra Miller.

Most think that this fact about belief's aim limits the agency we exercise as believers\, especially since Williams's famous argument that you cannot believe 'at will.' But the structure of intentional action in particular seems to offer hope for a substantive explanation of this fact about belief's aim: when you act intentionally you apply a standard of success to what you do\, and you guide it according to that standard. This talk reconciles these claims about belief with one another. It's true that you can't come to believe that p intentionally 'just like that\,' as Williams pointed out. But it's also true that you can perform all sorts of epistemic accomplishments intentionally: you can figure out whether p\, or determine which thing is F\, come to know why p\, etc. I show how you can perform these epistemic accomplishments intentionally with a model of non-basic action I set forth in detail in my new book Mental Means. The possibility of intentionally performing these epistemic accomplishments can help ground epistemic responsibility\, and thereby also help ground the application of substantive epistemic norms to our thoughts.\" UID:130080-21865281@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130080 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:philosophy,Rackham LOCATION:Mason Hall - 3206 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T063234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:*RSVP required to attend.

He is one of many Black Caribbeans who have been disproportionately diagnosed with psychotic disorders since the 1950s. Tigo believes this is due to the clash between Black Caribbean cultural values and British assimilation practices\, which reinforce anti-Black stereotypes and involve the surveillance and hyper-policing of Black Caribbean communities. According to Tigo\, it is as if Black Caribbean living conditions in London\, shaped by poverty\, police brutality\, and cultural assimilation\, are schizophrenogenic. At the same time\, economic precarity in the Caribbean drives many to migrate. Consequently\, Black Caribbean migrants are more likely to become psychotic. Tigo’s journey illustrates how psychotic Black Caribbeans feel exiled and are faced with the specter of death\, which Frantz Fanon asserts is a structuring fact of Black existence. However\, Tigo emphasizes three pivotal moments of heightened insight that inspired him to develop innovative ideas\, which made his Black existence more “livable.” I refer to these moments as “the fertile moments” of Tigo’s psychosis. \n\nJaleel Mashaul Plummer is a PhD Candidate in the Joint PhD Program in Medical Anthropology at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco. He conducts ethnographic research with Black Jamaicans in England and Jamaica. His research centers around questions of madness\, Blackness\, Jamaican aesthetics\, and Black Jamaican spiritual traditions that concern “postcolonial occupation”. Titled “The Noose of Existence: Blackness and Madness in England and Jamaica”\, his dissertation combines comparative ethnography and critical theory to investigate how Black Jamaican experiences with madness and anti-blackness are marked by social alienation and result in self-fragmentation. The dissertation conveys how this alienation and self-fragmentation are many effects of a persistent British colonial occupation of Jamaican social and psychic life in England and Jamaica. However\, these two phenomena that deeply affect Black Jamaicans with psychosis are present in the artistic work of Brother Everald Brown\, Errol McKenzie\, and other artists known as the “Intuitives”. Through their aesthetic creations\, the Intuitives propagate the political and religious saliences of maddening landscapes wrought with anti-black violence that become breeding grounds of alienation and self-fragmentation. Therefore\, the dissertation demonstrates how Black madness and Intuitive aesthetic creations serve as “mediums” through which we can understand how the lived experience of Black Jamaicans is a struggle with and from the (after)shocks of British colonialism.

He will talk about two novels: *Fruta podrida* (2006) by the Chilean writer Lina Meruane and *Distancia de rescate* (2014) by the Argentine writer Samanta Schweblin. Nicolas will show that just as agribusiness has obscured the borders between humans and nonhumans through the creation of genetically modified seeds (GMOs)\, these works blur the limits between prose\, poetry\, and theater to depict the invisible and omnipresent violence of pesticide contamination.

As such\, scholars across disciplines have been devoted to investigating how race and ethnicity feature in every aspect of social and political life. The purpose of I-REP (Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics) is to provide a space for scholars whose research centers race\, ethnicity and politics across a number of fields to receive critical feedback on the early stages of their work (especially graduate students)\, build community with other researchers who share similar interests and offer an opportunity for participants to collaborate on a joint research project within the working group.

In this talk\, I will explore the intersections of marine ecology\, conservation policy\, and community engagement.\n\nThrough the lens of marine ecology\, we will examine my research on (1) the underlying mechanisms driving complex\, multi-scale responses in benthic communities along the rocky shores of Oregon and New Zealand\, and (2) the decadal review of California’s MPA network\, using long-term monitoring data to uncover biological patterns in kelp forests and inform strategies for improved monitoring and adaptive management. Building on these scientific foundations\, we will discuss how ecological research informs conservation policy and\, in turn\, necessitates active engagement—particularly from fishing and tribal communities.\n\nWe will also explore the deeper parallels between conflicts in science-public discourse and my work with marginalized communities. As a co-founder of a STEM nonprofit dedicated to fostering an inclusive world where both deaf and hearing individuals are empowered through accessible STEM education and communication\, I have seen that many conflicts arise from a lack of human connection and the misconception that diversity is simply beneficial rather than essential for survival.\n\nJust as marine ecosystems thrive through diversity\, mutualism\, and adaptation\, so too must our approaches to conservation and science communication. By integrating research\, policy\, and inclusive engagement\, we can build resilient networks—both ecological and human—that can withstand environmental change and drive lasting transformation.

At a time when powerful political actors seek to limit national belonging to a particular segment of Hindu Indians\, such spaces and the people who intersect through them are not simply places of resistance but places where possible futures are grounded in the ethics of the past. Exploring the histories\, objects\, and rituals that intersect through an intentionally multireligious place illuminates the spectacular and mundane ways in which minoritized communities make space for themselves in an India where majoritarian religious nationalism is ascendant but hitherto incomplete.\n\nAnna Bigelow is an Associate Professor of Islamic Studies and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Religious Studies\, as well as Faculty Director of the Center for South Asia\, at Stanford University. Bigelow's current book project is a comparative study of shared sacred sites in India and Turkey\, exploring how everyday devotional life in shared spaces illuminates the shifting terrain of these ambivalently secular states. Another project traces the lives of devotional objects circulated by Muslims\, Hindus\, and others around a Sufi tomb shrine in India. She is the editor and contributor to a volume on material objects in Islamic cultures\, *Islam through Objects* (Bloomsbury\, 2021). Bigelow's earlier work *Sharing the Sacred: Practicing Pluralism in Muslim North India *(Oxford University Press\, 2010) is a study of a Muslim majority community in Indian Punjab and the shared sacred and civic spaces in that community.\n \n*Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.* UID:130329-21865761@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130329 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,India,Islam LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250323T143659 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry seminar: The boundary of a totally geodesic subvariety of moduli space DESCRIPTION:The moduli space of genus g Riemann surfaces equipped with the Teichmuller metric exhibits rich geometric\, analytic\, and dynamical properties. A major challenge is to understand the totally geodesic submanifolds -- these share many properties with the moduli space itself. For many decades\, research focused on the one (complex) dimensional case\, i.e. the captivating Teichmuller cuves\, but the discovery of interesting higher-dimensional examples in recent years has led to new questions. In this talk\, I will discuss joint work with Benirschke and Rached in which we study the boundary of a totally geodesic subvariety in the Deligne-Mumford compactification\, showing that the boundary is itself totally geodesic.

This question has a positive answer when varieties are smooth or simple normal crossing\, and a negative answer in more general cases. The emphasis will be on the structure of the Grothendieck ring of varieties and on the groups of birational self-maps of algebraic varieties. This will be an overview of the work of many people in the last 25 years since Gromov's original formulation\, including Larsen-Lunts\, Borisov\, Zakharevich\, Hassett-Lai\, Kontsevich-Tschinkel\, and most recently\, work by Lin and myself.

Although scholars have often dubbed this phenomenon \"the revolution in logistics\,\" in this paper I argue that the so-called 'logistics revolution' is better understood as a counter-revolution.\n\nAs anti-colonial leaders and trade unions in Southeast Asia pursued economic sovereignty during the “Third World’s” transition to independence\, they nationalized industry\, seized colonial property\, and sought to build national shipping and industrial capacity. To contain this threat to private enterprise\, US and UK shipping corporations\, backed by their states\, pursued the globalization of supply chain infrastructures.\n\nFocusing on a swathe of nationalizations of Dutch and British merchant\, shipping\, and plantation corporations in Indonesia from 1960-66\, this talk examines how shipping containerization only became viable when it aided imperial containment strategy. As I argue\, bringing the history of logistics into conversation with decolonizing workers' and nationalist struggles in Southeast Asia transforms our understanding of the logistics counter-revolution\, positioning it as a reactionary political project that consolidated colonial power into new economic forms.\n\nTracing the historical conjecture of the rise of logistics with the end of formal empire\, I ask: What did the rise of logistics look like from the vantage of the decolonizing of the global south?

It seemed inevitable. Libby Glover\, Michael Hough and David Tamulevich had been informally jamming with each other for 3 months in the Rathskellar of the Old Heidelberg Restaurant in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. The room had grown consistently packed with enthusiastic fans every weekend. They all agreed it was time the trio made it official and chose the name Mustard’s Retreat\, which was a tune David had written. \nMustard’s Retreat has always sung the songs they enjoyed and cared about\, regardless of the trends of the music industry and pop culture. They are committed to simply being themselves\, not chasing fame or brass rings\, while delighting in and connecting with their audiences as if they were family. The honesty of what they present onstage and the extensive body of outstanding original songs and recordings all contribute to a fiercely loyal audience that continues to grow. “Music to cure what ails you” was how one reviewer in the 1970s described them\, and that is as true now as it was then. They’ve traveled more than a million miles and performed more than 6\,000 shows\, from pig roasts and pool parties to Lincoln Center Out of Doors\, The Barns at Wolftrap and the Kennedy’s Center’s Millennium Stage.\n\nTheir performances are always joyful and uplifting\, as well as intelligent\, thought provoking and insightful. They’ve recently begun referring to their career and touring as “Defiantly Hopeful.” In part due to their long career\, but more as a statement about what the music has meant to them. “Folk music is\, at its heart\, defiantly hopeful!” Tamulevich says. “We came of age in the 60s\, at the confluence of Pete Seeger\, Peter\, Paul & Mary\, Bob Dylan and the singer/songwriter revolution. We care much more about what we do and stand for and finding that common ground with our audiences\, than fame or money: this is our community of choice\, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be here.” UID:130093-21865308@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130093 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:1027 E.

So begins Triptych\, an adaptation of three pieces created with Nederlands Dans Theater. In this labyrinth of missing doors\, lost rooms\, and hidden floors — what De Morgen called “scenes you’d rather expect from the brain of David Lynch” — time\, memory\, and premonition revolve around the illusions\, utopias\, and lost loves of characters who act out their own fiction\, continually drifting away and searching for one another.\n\nCONTENT WARNING\nContains adult content and nudity\n\nFor 25 years\, the Belgian dance-theater company Peeping Tom’s hallmark has been a hyperrealist aesthetic anchored to a concrete and familiar set. The space feels familiar\, but quickly the directors create an unstable universe that defies the logic of time and space. You become the witness\, or perhaps the voyeur\, of what usually remains hidden and unsaid\, taken into subconscious worlds to discover nightmares\, fears\, and desires.

Visions of the deceased former butler and governess seem to be influencing the children towards evil. The new governess soon finds herself in an unearthly struggle for the children’s souls.

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.

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:84303-21621556@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250329T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250329T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border.
