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.

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:84303-21621568@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:20250412T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250412T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

Brokers play a significant role in guiding North Korean refugees across the Tumen River\, a heavily monitored border where armed guards patrol day and night.\nInspired by the story of Mrs. Kim\, a North Korean refugee who survived underwater while crossing the river\, the artist leads the audience through the exhibition space as if navigating the swirling flow of American imperialist violence in the trans-Pacific. The space becomes a fragmented landscape of memories\, witnesses\, and echoes—demanding that participants move through it with uncertainty\, urgency\, and resolve. \nAs Mrs. Kim once said\, “You either die or survive underwater.”\nTogether\, we submerge into this flow\, fumbling through the death\, pain\, and grit of those who came before us. Will we be able to connect to the flow and emerge on the other side of the land?\nThe performance will be followed by light snacks and a 15-minute Q&\;A session.\nRSVP required\; limited to 15 participants.\n \nArtist Bio\nOkyoung Noh is an interdisciplinary artist based in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, and Seoul\, South Korea. She visualizes and interrogates the impact of American imperialist violence on Asian women across the trans-Pacific. Through performance\, video\, community engagement\, and multimedia installations\, Noh creates spaces where dis/misplaced bodies connect and reclaim power\, place\, and presence. Her work has been exhibited internationally at La MaMa (New York\, NY)\, Wave Pool Gallery (Cincinnati\, OH)\, the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art (Athens\, GA)\, Tribowl (South Korea)\, Hangaram Museum (South Korea)\, CICA Museum (South Korea)\, and Seoul Artist’s Platform_New &\; Young (South Korea)\, among others. Her videos have been recognized and featured in the Every Woman Biennial (New York\, NY)\, Indie Short Fest (Los Angeles\, CA)\, the Toronto International Women Film Festival (Canada)\, the Oakland Short Film Festival (Oakland\, CA)\, and the Freep Film Festival (Detroit\, MI)\, among others. Noh has been nominated for artist residencies at the Seoul Museum of Art and MASS MoCA\, where she will be an artist-in-residence in 2025.\nLearn more about the artist: www.oknoh.com UID:132849-21871955@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132849 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250407T093240 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250412T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250412T160000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:rEVOLUTION: Healing Through the Arts DESCRIPTION:The SAPAC Survivor Empowerment and Ally Support (SEAS) program cordially invites you to our 20th annual art show and reception\, rEVOLUTION: Healing Through the Arts.

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:84303-21621569@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:20250413T181524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Women's Tennis vs Washington DESCRIPTION:Women's Tennis vs Washington UID:134239-21874042@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134239 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Women's Tennis LOCATION:Varsity Tennis Bldg CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

At the time\, the colonial settlement of Anishinaabe homeland hardly extended beyond Detroit in what settlers called the “Michigan Territory.” Four days after the Treaty of Fort Meigs was signed\, the First College of Michigania was founded to claim the Anishinaabe land grant. Four years later\, the newly-chartered University of Michigan would claim this land. By the time the University of Michigan moved to Ann Arbor in 1837\, Anishinaabe people had been forced to cede almost all their land in what had become the state of Michigan\, now inhabited by almost 200\,000 settlers. \n \nAndrew Herscher’s recent book\, Under the Campus\, the Land (University of Michigan Press\, March\, 2025)\, narrates the University of Michigan’s place in both Anishinaabe and colonial history\, tracing the University’s participation in the colonization of Anishinaabe homeland\, Anishinaabe efforts to claim their right to an education\, and the university’s history of disavowing its responsibilities to Anishinaabe people. \n \nAndrew Herscher\, joined by Matthew Fletcher and Bethany Hughes\, will discuss the book and the questions it raises about the University of Michigan’s history and future.  \n \nFree and open to the public\, no registration required.\n UID:133893-21873675@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133893 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250413T181525 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250323T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Softball vs Rutgers DESCRIPTION:Softball vs Rutgers UID:134247-21874048@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134247 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Softball LOCATION:Alumni Field CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T150000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

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).

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.

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.

This can be seen in the gut microbiome’s influence on nutrient acquisition\, the production of biologically active molecules\, and the modification of steroid hormones\, as well as in reproductive microbiomes’ impacts on sperm quality\, assisted reproductive technology success\, embryo quality\, susceptibility to STIs\, and offspring health. While the majority of research into these topics is in humans\, mice\, and livestock\, investigations into wildlife species have also revealed similar patterns. However\, further research is still needed across a broader range of taxa\, particularly in species with low reproductive success that depend on consistent reproduction to be self-sustaining. Ex situ populations of cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) and clouded leopards (Neofelis nebulosa) that are part of American Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plans (AZA SSP)\, are two such populations that have poor reproduction and rely on conservation husbandry for population health and survival. Therefore\, the main goal of my dissertation is to investigate the relationship between the gut\, vaginal\, preputial\, and seminal microbiomes and reproductive phenotypes and physiology in these two threatened species\, along with their model species\, the domestic cat (Felis catus)\, in order to extend the applicability of this research to other threatened felids.

DESCRIPTION:IGCB Seminar Series: Prof Anshuman Swain\n\nEchoes in the Rock: Past Ecosystems as a Guide for Understanding Tomorrow's World\n\nEcosystems are defined by the interactions among and between the organisms and their environment. In an era of unprecedented global change\, understanding the fundamental rules governing the stability of ecosystems and their biodiversity is critical. This talk bridges deep time and the present by exploring how abiotic and biotic interactions shape biodiversity patterns. We will utilize the Cenozoic fossil record (the last 66 My)\, and in specific\, the marine micropaleontological data and terrestrial plant-insect associations to track community responses to long-term climate shifts and environment perturbations. By integrating paleontological data with ecological informatics\, this talk aims to uncover how past patterns of environment-driven change can provide crucial insights for anticipating and addressing the impacts of future global change scenarios.

However\, significant research and development is required to address the fundamental challenge that muons are unstable\, and will decay continuously while moving through an accelerator complex. In addition\, any detector will see a very large beam-induced background (BIB) from the decay of muons in the colliding beams. In this talk\, I will introduce and motivate the concept of a muon collider\, discuss some of the broader challenges\, and then present MAIA (Muon Accelerator Instrumented Apparatus)\, a proposed detector design for a 10 TeV muon collider.

The arithmetic modularity conjecture states that Kudla's generating series defines a holomorphic automorphic form valued in the Chow group of the unitary Shimura variety. We also discuss known progress towards this conjecture. We next define the arithmetic Chow group\, a refinement of the usual Chow group of an algebraic variety defined by Gillet-Soule in the spirit of Arakelov theory\, which will be useful for defining further refinements of Kudla's conjecture.

Byrd DESCRIPTION:Dr. DeAnnah R. Byrd will present \"Risk Factors\, Protective Pathways\, and Lifespan Perspectives of Cognition in Black Americans\,\" discussing health disparities research across the life course\, making between-group and within-group comparisons\, and charting the effects of risk and protective factors on memory and cognitive changes in older Black/African Americans. \n\nDr. DeAnnah Byrd is an Assistant Professor at Arizona State University (ASU) in Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation. And is a Faculty Affiliate of the Center for Innovation and Healthy and Resilient Aging (CHIRA) at ASU and an Associate at the Michigan Center for Urban African American Aging Research at the University of Michigan. Dr. Byrd received her PhD in Community Health Sciences from UCLA’s Fielding School of Public Health in 2017. Her early work formed the basis of her current research program\, which examines the effects of risk (chronic conditions\, biological and psychosocial stressors) and protective (coping and social support) factors on memory and cognitive changes in older African Americans. Dr. Byrd is committed to help improve cognitive outcomes. Her work has been funded by the National Institute on Aging\, the Alzheimer's Association\, and the Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Center. She has received multiple awards\, and her work is recognized both nationally and internationally. \n\nBriana Mezuk hosts.\n\nThe Winter 2025 RCGD Seminar Series features speakers invited and hosted by faculty affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics. These multidisciplinary talks will cover a variety of topics in social science\, including social cognition\, structural racism\, romantic relationships\, and cognitive health. Check the schedule for updates to this series that will convene on select Mondays at 3:30 at the Institute for Social Research.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.

Unlike function field analogs which is more topological (via \ell not = p sheaves)\, the real story over number fields and their local fields is more analytic involving \ell = p cycles and (g\,K)-cohomology\, which needs to be further developed.\n\nIn this talk\, I will firstly give my (naive) understandings of these programs and examples. For central / non-central L-values and p-adic L-functions\, in general we must use non-reductive type period integrals and cycles\, e.g. L-functions for GLn x GLm. Then I will give some arithmetic analogs\, constructions of non-reductive cycles and applications\, e.g. a proof of twisted AFL for GL_n. I use two observations: pullback of non-algebraic cycles could be algebraic and useful\; raising “the categorical level\" by one and applying extra symmetry (e.g. global modularity) is really useful.\n\nTime permitting\, I will discuss more aspects of non-reductive cycles (ramifications / archimedes / algebraicity..)\, based on what we learn from function field analogs (after the work of Ben-Zvi-Sakellaridis-Venkatesh). I will also present a conjecture on Albanese of projective U(n-1\,1)-Shimura varieties.

Foreign Assistance\, US National Security\, and the Case for Human Rights DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\n\nThis event will offer a timely and thought-provoking discussion on the implications of the suspension of U.S. foreign assistance\, with a particular focus on the nation’s role in supporting international human rights\, democracy\, and the rule of law. In light of recent decisions to terminate grants deemed not to serve core national interests\, we will explore why the U.S. has supported human rights and democracy efforts as a fundamental aspect of its foreign policy since the Carter Administration. What has changed in the U.S. perspective since then? We will also examine the Biden Administration's stance on expanding support in this area and ask: Is there a compelling case to be made that international protections for rights and the rule of law ultimately benefit the U.S.? Join us for a deep dive into these pressing questions shaping the future of U.S. foreign policy.\n\nFrom the Speaker’s Bio:\n\nBama Athreya\, Ph.D\, most recently served as Deputy Assistant Administrator in USAID’s Bureau for Inclusive Growth\, Partnerships and Innovation\, where she managed global portfolios related to gender equality\, child protection\, youth in development\, and ensuring the rights and inclusion of marginalized and underrepresented populations.

Plabic Graphs are finer combinatorial objects than Grassmann necklaces that not only index positroids but also parametrize points in positroids\, through the boundary measurement map. Given a reduced plabic graph\, we can assign target face labels to each face\, and the boundary face labels give us the corresponding Grassmann necklace\, which tells us the non-vanishing pluckers in the positroid. It is known that the face label pluckers give a cluster in the cluster structure on the Grassmannian. A natural question is\, what can the internal face labels tell us geometrically? It is not generally true that these are the non-vanishing pluckers in the image of the boundary measurement map for positroids over the complex numbers. In this talk\, we introduce the twist map\, constructed by Muller-Speyer\, which are automorphisms of the positroid variety\, taking the image of the boundary measurement map to a torus defined by the non-vanishing of face label pluckers.

Are they limited to what they see\, or can they think beyond the here and now? This talk will discuss how children's reasoning about hidden\, invisible\, and abstract entities provides a unique and valuable window into the human mind. Indeed\, our early capacity to look beyond the obvious underlies humanity's greatest strengths\, such as our search for knowledge and meaning\, as well as our gravest challenges\, such as prejudice and social inequities.\n\nAbout the speaker: Susan Gelman is the Heinz Werner Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Linguistics at 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.

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.

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.
