Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818091@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250218T124719 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250415T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250415T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Climate Anxiety: Equity & Action in Lab and Clinical Spaces DESCRIPTION:At U-M\, labs and clinical spaces account for 59% of energy use and 63% of emissions. Labs can also produce an estimated 5.5 million tons of plastic waste per year (~2% of all plastic waste produced globally). This means there are big upsides in making your lab and clinical spaces more sustainable!\n\nWe will begin by talking about the impacts of labs and clinical spaces\, particularly surrounding environmental justice concerns with procurement and usage. Ever worried about those pesky nitrile gloves - we’ll be talking about those and even more. Often these are difficult and complex conversations so we will transition into discussing climate anxiety and action. People often associate climate anxiety as being an affluent and white concern\, but the reality is that historically marginalized communities are impacted disproportionately by climate change and do experience climate anxiety. How might we take care of ourselves and our communities? Well\, with nature! Nature is an impactful\, mostly accessible\, and free healthcare intervention. We’ll dive into this and then experience some green time in the beautiful CVC Atrium.

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:84303-21621570@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:20250219T145025 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250415T112000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250415T125000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Ideas Rents and Firm Growth with Timo Boppart\, Peter Klenow and Reiko Laski DESCRIPTION:Which firms drive aggregate growth? Price-earnings ratios differ markedly and persistently across publicly-listed firms. Large differences remain after netting out the impact of proxies for firm-specific discount factors\, and are highly correlated with actual and analyst forecasts of future earnings growth. The implication is that listed firms deviate from Gibrat’s Law\, under which expected growth rates are purported to be the same across firms. We find further that fast-growing firms are expected to see increases in their earnings relative to sales\, which we interpret as rents from ideas. We construct an endogenous growth model with persistence shocks to firm innovation step-sizes and calibrate it to match patterns in the data. The model implies that the fastest-growing firms – so-called Luttmer Rockets – are responsible for a much bigger share of aggregate growth than predicted under Gibrat’s Law.

For this\, I use two different species of wood-inhabiting fungi that produce fruiting bodies having a poroid hymenophore (porous spore producing layer on the underside of the mushroom)\, commonly referred to as polypores. Polypores\, which form a polyphyletic group within Basidiomycota\, are unique in harboring species that produce annual and perennial hardy\, poroid fruiting bodies which can remain exposed to the external environment and maintain functionality for long periods of time. Unlike the fruiting bodies of a majority of macrofungal species\, given the persistence of certain polypore fruiting bodies on their wood-substrate over extended time periods\, species within Polyporaceae are suitable for investigating the evolution of life history traits and adaptation in macrofungi. My PhD project will focus on two established traits- colour polymorphism and longevity\; and will further use population genetics to identify traits that may be important for local adaptation. The first two chapters will be focussing on Trametes versicolor (aka Turkey Tail) which is a highly colour polymorphic\, globally distributed\, hardwood decay fungus found growing on a wide range of hardwood species. Using T. versicolor\, I firstly aim to uncover if colour polymorphism in the species is linked to the wood species it grows on or if it is a heritable trait\; and secondly\, aim to determine whether it has population structuring across its geographic distribution\, and local adaptation to each habitat of occurrence. In my third chapter\, I propose to use Ganoderma applanatum (aka Artist’s conk) which has a perennial fruiting body that remains functional and fertile for several years to investigate senescence and the evolution of this alternate life history strategy.

Privacy concerns often prohibit direct data sharing across sites\, while distributional heterogeneity complicates accurate modeling and inference. Moreover\, high-dimensional data and model selection procedures necessitate statistical methods for valid inference post-selection. This dissertation addresses these challenges by developing methodologies in distributed statistical learning\, inference with heterogeneous data\, and selective inference.\n\nIn the first part of the dissertation\, we propose a novel one-shot distributed learning algorithm via refitting bootstrap samples. We demonstrate that the proposed estimator achieves full-sample statistical rates with only one round of communication of subsample-based statistics in generalized linear models and noisy phase retrieval. We further extend this approach to an iterative algorithm and apply it to convolutional neural networks (CNNs)\, which exhibits superior performances over existing methods in simulation studies.\n\nIn the second part of the dissertation\, we develop a novel one-shot distributed learning algorithm to address cross-site heterogeneity. The proposed method effectively accommodates heterogeneity by allowing nuisance parameters to vary across sites. We show that the proposed estimator attains the full-sample statistical error rate and efficiency with only a single round of communication of local estimators. Our simulation studies support these theoretical findings.\n\nIn the third part of the dissertation\, we introduce an asymptotic pivot to infer about the effects of selected variables on conditional quantile functions. Utilizing estimators from smoothed quantile regression\, our proposed pivot is easy to compute and yields asymptotically-exact selective inference without making strict distributional assumptions about the response variable. By employing external randomization\, our approach fully utilizes the data for both selection and inference\, outperforming traditional methods like data splitting by consistently delivering shorter and more reliable confidence intervals. Simulation studies and an empirical application analyzing risk factors for low birth weight validate the practical efficacy of our method.

The system addresses the critical safety and mobility challenges posed by winter conditions through a VLM capable of interpreting complex visual scenes and natural language instructions to generate personalized control strategies. The framework incorporates a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) memory module that enables continuous adaptation to individual preferences through human feedback. Real-world experiments conducted on professional test tracks demonstrate that our approach reduces takeover rates by up to 76.9% compared to baseline systems\, particularly when processing indirect user instructions. The system successfully interprets diverse winter driving scenarios\, maintaining high safety standards while adapting control parameters to both environmental conditions and user preferences. A comprehensive benchmark dataset\, focused specifically on winter driving conditions\, provides a foundation for future CAV development in extreme weather. This work represents a significant step in autonomous vehicle technology for winter operations and builds a framework for safer\, more reliable transportation systems in extreme weather conditions in the Midwest.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Ziran Wang is a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University.

To do so\, these microbes invest lots of energy into creating powerful arsenals of enzymes. These microbes are now challenged globally with novel recalcitrant polymers known collectively as plastic. Studies have found that there is little to no correlation of plastic degrading enzymes and the amount of plastic in the environment- leading to the conclusion that in general\, microbes are not evolving to specialize on plastic degradation. However there is yet to be a satisfactory explanation as to why environmental degradation is so limited.\n\nWhile many microbial enzymes have been tested or hypothesized to degrade plastic\, research on plastic biodegradation has primarily focused on one species at a time\, and very few have been proven to work with polyethylene\, the most widely used and hardest to degrade plastic. My dissertation will focus on characterizing microbial metabolisms of PE and its degradation products\, and using these characteristics to predict the ecological relationship between members of a small modular community. This research will connect microbial metabolisms and ecology to investigate why environmental degradation is limited\, and how metabolisms impact the function of plastic degrading synthetic consortia.

These techniques\, namely magneto-scanning near-field optical microscopy (m-SNOM) and BOlometric Superconducting Optical Nanoscopy (BOSON)\, can dramatically expand our ability to probe quantum materials at the nanoscale. Using m-SNOM\, we demonstrate Landau-level nanoscopy that directly visualizes Landau quantization and magneto-polariton formation. A waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED) framework reveals spatially resolved hybridization between magnetic excitations and phonon polaritons\, yielding universal scaling behaviors and design principles for cavity metastructures with tunable light–matter coupling. With BOSON\, we integrate superconducting transition-edge sensors with near-field optics to achieve ultra-sensitive detection of nano-light at nanowatt power levels. This platform enables nanoscale imaging of Cooper pair dynamics and confined bosonic modes in low-dimensional systems\, offering a new pathway toward quantum-limited spectroscopy and single-polariton detection. I will conclude by discussing future directions\, including the integration of these techniques for exploring THz quantum optics\, polaritonic circuitry\, and strongly correlated quantum phases in complex materials. \n\nMengkun Liu (Ph.D. 2012 Boston University) is a professor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Stony Brook University (since Jan. 2015).

Yet\, establishing the causality of these social influences and the mechanisms by which they act has been challenging. Among wild animals\, uncontrollable genetic and environmental variation frustrates causal conclusions. And lab environments are unable to replicate the dynamic\, complex social behaviors of natural populations. In this talk\, I describe a solution to this problem: studying genetically identical laboratory mice in controlled\, naturalistic outdoor enclosures. In such environments\, mice navigate complex\, dynamic physical and social environments that better match those that they evolved to exploit. I will describe work in which I have established the impact of social competition and luck on the development of individuality\, causal links between social status and behavior and fitness outcomes in males\, and the causal impact of social status on molecular physiology. The combination of behavioral ecological methods and theory with the scientific power of the lab mouse has opened up exciting new doors to answer questions that have been previously unanswerable either in the lab or in wild populations.

While the stability allows helices to serve as rigid scaffolds within structured RNAs\, it also creates significant energetic barriers to rearrangement\, necessitating RNA helicases as chaperones in RNA folding and remodeling. At the same time\, the high specificity of Watson-Crick base pairing enables RNA-guided mechanisms\, exemplified by CRISPR-Cas enzymes that leverage this specificity for DNA targeting. This talk will explore how these core biophysical properties have shaped RNA’s biological roles\, driven evolution of protein families\, and enabled modern genome-editing tools.

Both are treated variationally\, both deal with energies of different dimensionalities\, concepts of geometric measure theory prevail in both\, and higher order penalizations are considered. Will learning training schemes for choosing these penalizations in imaging may be of use in phase transitions?\n\nPhase Separation in Heterogeneous Media: Modern technologies and biological systems\, such as temperature-responsive polymers and lipid rafts\, take advantage of engineered inclusions\, or natural heterogeneities of the medium\, to obtain novel composite materials with specific physical properties. To model such situations using a variational approach based on the gradient theory of phase transitions\, the potential and the wells may have to depend on the spatial position\, even in a discontinuous way\, and different regimes should be considered.\n\nIn the critical case where the scale of the small heterogeneities is of the same order of the scale governing the phase transition and the wells are fixed\, the interaction between homogenization and the phase transitions process leads to an anisotropic interfacial energy. The supercritical case for fixed wells is also addressed\, now leading to an isotropic interfacial energy. In the subcritical case with moving wells\, where the heterogeneities of the material are of a larger scale than that of the diffuse interface between different phases\, it is observed that there is no macroscopic phase separation and that thermal fluctuations play a role in the formation of nanodomains.\n\nLearning Training Schemes for Image Denoising: Due to their ability to handle discontinuous images while having a well-understood behavior\, regularizations with total variation (TV) and total generalized variation (TGV) are some of the best known methods in image denoising. However\, like other variational models including a fidelity term\, they crucially depend on the choice of their tuning parameters. A remedy is to choose these automatically through multilevel approaches\, for example by optimizing performance on noisy/clean image training pairs. Such methods with space-dependent parameters which are piecewise constant on dyadic grids are considered\, with the grid itself being part of the minimization. Existence of minimizers for discontinuous parameters is established\, and it is shown that box constraints for the values of the parameters lead to existence of finite optimal partitions. Improved performance on some representative test images when compared with constant optimized parameters is demonstrated.

He suspects dark motives emanating from his wife (Barbara Hershey)\, his sales manager (Nick Nolte)\, and his lover/secretary (Glenne Headly). When Dwayne has a volatile\, astonishing encounter with outrageous science fiction writer Kilgore Trout (Albert Finney) at the Midland City Fine Arts Festival\, neither they nor the city is ever the same.\n\nPresented by the Michigan Theater\; the University of Michigan Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\; and the University of Michigan Library.

Formerly most well known as the frontman of Super Furry Animals – a band that has been able to achieve that rarest of mixes\, artistic adventure with popular devotion – he blended fuzz-filed rock\, pure harmonies and cutting edge electronics\, while with his other band\, Neon Neon\, Rhys has documented the lives of maverick car maker John DeLorean and Italian activist and publisher Giangiacomo Feltrinelli in widescreen style. \n\nWith their blissful melodies\, his solo records have explored untapped areas lyrically too. His first\, 2005's Yr Atal Genhedlaeth\, revelled in Welsh puns\; 2014’s American Interior celebrated the unlikely yet influential 18th century explorer John Evans\; Babelsberg offered a baroque take on the modern world in 2018\; while a year later Pang! created a multi-lingual mash-up\, driven by folkish bleeps crafted in collaboration with South African artist-producer Muzi.\n\nHowever\, while all those records certainly explored fresh territory\, the Top Ten charting Seeking New Gods climbed lyrically and musically on to totally new terrain - for his seventh solo record Gruff Rhys created a conceptual record about his own mountain and became his most critically and commercially successful solo album yet. 2024 saw the release of it’s follow up\, ‘Sadness Sets Me Free’ garnering rave reviews and acclaimed to be amongst his finest work.

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).

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.

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:84303-21621571@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:20250416T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250416T170000 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).

Clements Library is pleased to announce a forthcoming exhibition in recognition of the 250th Anniversary of the military hostilities that began the American Revolutionary War. The Battles of Lexington and Concord are firmly established in American memory as the culmination of a range of governmental\, political\, economic\, and social tensions that amplified in the decade leading up to 1775. In this exhibit\, visitors will have the opportunity to see original historical manuscript letters\, documents\, newspapers\, and artwork that reveal aspects of the bloody work of Empire and individual alike in April 1775.\n\nAmong the items on display will be Commander in Chief of the British Army\, General Thomas Gage's draft orders for the Concord Expedition\, April 18\, 1775\; a bundle of letters collected by former Sons of Liberty supporter Dr. Benjamin Church\, which he secretly turned over to British Army intelligence\; letters by Silas Deane\, John Hancock\, and Rachel Revere\; and much more.\n\nOpen weekdays from 12-4 pm.

Women’s Forgotten Revolution: Communism and the Struggle for Emancipation in Post-war Poland DESCRIPTION:This lecture will analyze female participation in shaping the socialist modernization of post-World War II Poland and women's emancipation through education and culture. Competent and dedicated female politicians and civil servants (e.g.\, Żanna Kormanowa\, Zofia Dembińska\, Eugenia Krassowska) steered the reform of the Polish educational system immediately after the Second World War and during the Stalinist period\, creating a project for a school that was supposed to be egalitarian in terms of class and gender. At the same time\, editors of magazines and publishing houses (e.g.\, Anna Lanota\, Halina Koszutska)\, writers (e.g.\, Wanda Żółkiewska\, Janina Dziarnowska\, Helena Bobińska)\, and film directors\, scriptwriters\, and pedagogical advisors to Polish television (e.g.\, Wilhelmina Skulska\, Elżbieta Jackiewiczowa) were committed to shaping the image of the new Polish woman: well-educated and professionally active. The role of these “architects of communist Poland” diminished with de-Stalinization\, but many of them continued their work\, such as representing Poland in international institutions including the UN Commission on the Status of Women and UNESCO. Mrozik will address the absence of post-war leftist women's activism in current historiography in Poland and will discuss recent developments in the field.\n \n Agnieszka Mrozik is a Senior Dianne Widzinski Visiting Fellow at the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies (CCPS) at U-M. She is an associate professor of literary studies at the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences. She is affiliated with two research units—the Center for Cultural and Literary Studies of Communism and the Women’s Archive. She was a fellow of the Imre Kertész Kolleg in Jena (2017)\, the Institute for Advanced Study at CEU (2018/19)\, and the DAAD program at the University of Hamburg (2019). She was also recently a guest professor at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder) (2023/24). Mrozik is the author of *Architektki PRL-u: Komunistki\, literatura i emancypacja kobiet w powojennej Polsce* [*Female Architects of the Polish People’s Republic: Communist Women\, Literature\, and Women’s Emancipation in Postwar Poland*] (Wydawnictwo IBL PAN\, 2022) and *Akuszerki transformacji: Kobiety\, literatura i władza w Polsce po 1989 roku* [*Midwives of the Transformation: Women\, Literature\, and Power in Post-1989 Poland*] (Wydawnictwo IBL PAN\, 2012). She has co-authored and co-edited several collective volumes\, including *Reassessing Communism: Concepts\, Culture\, and Society in Poland\, 1944–1989* (CEU Press\, 2021).\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Led by Dr. Mitch Sollenberger\, this talk examines the factors that led Congress to move away from tariffs and how this reflects broader changes in the relationship between Congress and the president. We’ll also address the rise of \"presidentialism\" and the centralization of executive authority\, highlighting how Trump's presidency reshaped governing norms and public policy.

To do this\, we estimate several choice models on data only from control markets before turning to the treatment data for model validation. This exercise reveals that a model where school choice is constrained by ability-to-pay achieves better out-of-sample fit but still underpredicts experimental take-up of the voucher offer. We then present evidence from treatment markets that: a) the voucher offer also induced search\; and b) private schools used program surplus to incentivize enrollment. Further\, we show that a unified model incorporating these features can explain both the control and treatment data patterns. Estimates from that model imply that a targeted voucher program would have a marginal value of public funds(MVPF) of at least 3.

In this work\, we use the same idea to study subsets of words of length n\,\nthat are not necessarily permutations\, for example: especially when they are certain classes of restricted\ngrowth functions induced by set partitions in standard form over [n] = {1\, 2 · · · n}. Varying n only\, and\nalso varying n and k (the number of blocks of the set partitions) simultaneously\, we can show that those\nposets form a projective system of trees and lattices. These poset structures can be extended over signed\nrestricted growth functions for standard type B set partitions over 〈n〉 = {−1\, −2\, · · · n\, 0\, 1\, 2 · · · n} as\nwell. We investigate properties of the tree and lattice structures of these projective systems.

This may be in part due to the expense of the apparatus needed and in part because we work in a target-rich environment with many viewpoints and a large periodic table. I purchased a Walker type synthetic system about 30 years ago that\, in recent years especially\, has been worth the trouble it takes to use it. The pressure is relatively low in such systems compared to what one gets in a diamond cell\, but the sample volumes are much larger. The system was purchased from a small company called Rockland Research\, run by Peter McNutt\, who\, if I understand correctly\, was one of the former group members of David Walker himself. Our Depths of the Earth system\, although nominally easier to use\, is in fact not easier to prepare samples for\, and might be the only thing in my lab that I ever discarded out of frustration.\n\nSeveral postdoctoral fellows and graduate students have succeeded in finding new materials in our system or modifying it\, but the major successes in recent years has been due to the patience and synthetic skill of my former postdoctoral fellow now lab manager Danrui Ni. Many new materials\, including oxides chalcogenides and halides have been found in our system\, and it is my intention to describe enough of our work in the latter two categories of materials to give interested audience members ideas about what works at applied pressures up to 6 GPa and what doesn’t.

Spar Politics and Culture in the Muslim World Series. Book Launch: *The Revolution Within: Islamic Media and the Struggle for a New Egypt* DESCRIPTION:Book Launch: *The Revolution Within: Islamic Media and the Struggle for a New Egypt *by Dr. Yasmin Moll\n \n RSVP: http://bit.ly/RevolutionWithin416\n Wednesday\, April 16\, 4:00 PM ET\n CupsnChai Ann Arbor\n 214 S 4th Ave\n \n Join the Global Islamic Studies Center at CupsnChai Ann Arbor on Wednesday\, April 16\, at 4pm for the book launch of Professor Yasmin Moll's new book\, *The Revolution Within: Islamic Media and the Struggle for a New Egypt*. This event will be moderated by Professor Andrew Shryock\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. Free chai & snacks will be provided!\n \nAbout the book:\nThe New Preachers of Egypt—so named because of their novel preaching styles\, which incorporate everything from melodrama to music to self-help—came to prominence on the world's first Islamic television channel on the cusp of the Arab Spring uprisings. They promoted an innovative and inclusive Islamic piety that millions of young middle-class viewers found radical and compelling—but were scorned as neoliberal by leftists\, as stealth Islamists by secularists\, and as too Westernized by other Muslim preachers.\n \n Drawing on long-term fieldwork with the New Preachers\, their producers\, and followers in Cairo\, Yasmin Moll shows how Islamic media and the social life of theology mattered to contestations over the shape of a New Egypt. These mass-mediated fractures within Islamic Revivalism were happening at a time of both revolutionary possibility and authoritarian entrenchment. The New Preachers' Islamic media inspired a \"revolution within\" that transcended the country's divisions and anticipated the ethos of creativity\, solidarity\, and coexistence that soon would mark Tahrir Square\, the ethical epicenter of the 2011 uprising. Vividly written and boldly theorized\, The Revolution Within challenges conventional accounts of the 2011 revolution and its aftermath as a struggle between secular and religious forces\, reconsidering what makes a practice virtuous\, a public Islamic\, a way of life Godly.\n \n \n \n About the author:\n \n Yasmin Moll is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan in the Department of Anthropology. Her new book\, *The Revolution Within: Islamic Media and the Struggle for a New Egypt*\, is out with Stanford University Press in the series Studies in Islamic and Middle Eastern Societies and Cultures. Moll is an ethnographic filmmaker and a former member of the Michigan Society of Fellows (2014-2017).\n \n About the moderator:\n \n Andrew Shryock is Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan.

While the optimal Bellman equation (optimal-BE) enables model-free algorithms\, its discretization error is significant when the reward function oscillates. Conversely\, model-based PDE approaches offer better accuracy but suffer from non-identifiable inverse problems. \nTo bridge this gap\, we introduce Optimal-PhiBE\, an equation that integrates discrete-time information into a PDE\, combining the strengths of both RL and PDE formulations. Compared to the RL formulation\, Optimal-PhiBE is less sensitive to reward oscillations\, leading to smaller discretization errors. In linear-quadratic control\, Optimal-PhiBE can even achieve accurate continuous-time optimal policy with only discrete-time information. Compared to the PDE formulation\, it skips the identification of the dynamics and enables model-free algorithm derivation. Furthermore\, we extend Optimal-PhiBE to higher orders\, providing increasingly accurate approximations.

Though scallops can swim in the ocean by opening and closing their valves\, the scallop theorem shows that this swimming mechanism would be ineffective in highly viscous conditions. In this regime\, the Navier-Stokes equations linearize to give the Stokes equations. Since the Stokes equations are time-reversible\, microorganisms have developed hair-like structures known as cilia in order to generate propulsion by breaking time-reversal symmetry. The squirmer model uses a slip velocity defined on the microswimmer surface to mimic the effect of beating cilia. There has been previous work on spherical and axisymmetric squirmers\, but nature is not necessarily axisymmetric – thus\, we explore microswimmers of arbitrary shape. We propose a framework for expressing the slip velocity on an arbitrary surface in terms of tangential basis functions. Using the reciprocal theorem\, given a time-independent slip profile\, we can determine the rigid body velocities and the resulting swimming trajectory for an isolated microswimmer suspended in free space.\n\n\nAt much larger length scales\, flexible swimming sheets can be used to transport solar panels on water and can even model ice sheets on the ocean. In this regime\, the inviscid Euler equations hold. Unlike the Stokes equations\, the Euler equations are nonlinear and time-dependent. However\, the boundary integral techniques that are commonly used in Stokes flow can also be used in this context to track the motion of the water-air interface. We will showcase preliminary results in which we test our numerical methods on linear and nonlinear water waves in the absence of a sheet. We will then discuss how the slithering motion of snakes can help us model the elastic sheets.

Their formation and assembly patterns play a central role in nanotechnology\, and in particular in the optoelectronic properties of semiconductors. Changing the dots' size and shape gives rise to many applications that permeate our daily lives\, such as the new Samsung QLED TV monitor that uses quantum dots to turn \"light into perfect color\"! \n\nQuantum dots are obtained via the deposition of a crystalline overlayer (epitaxial film) on a crystalline substrate. When the thickness of the film reaches a critical value\, the profile of the film becomes corrugated and islands (quantum dots) form. As the creation of quantum dots evolves with time\, materials defects appear. Their modelling is of great interest in materials science since material properties\, including rigidity and conductivity\, can be strongly influenced by the presence of defects such as dislocations. \n\nIn this talk\, we will use methods from the calculus of variations and partial differential equations to model and mathematically analyze the onset of quantum dots\, the regularity and evolution of their shapes\, and the nucleation and motion of dislocations. Further\, using the $H^{-1}$-gradient flow structure of the evolution law\, short-time existence for a surface diffusion evolution equation with curvature regularization is established in the context of epitaxially strained two-dimensional films. The main novelty\, as compared to the study of the wetting regime\, is the presence of moving contact lines.

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.

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:84303-21621572@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:20251023T100630 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250417T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250417T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Identifying and Validating Novel Regulators of Erythroid Differentiation DESCRIPTION:Dissertation Defense\n\nWe are pleased to announce that Gregg Myers\, Ph.D. Candidate will present his Dissertation Defense titled \"Identifying and Validating Novel Regulators of Erythroid Differentiation\,\" on Thursday\, April 17\, from 11:00am - 12:00 p.m.\, in Kahn Auditorium and via live stream: https://umich.zoom.us/j/92867050026?pwd=kkZxygZtzxLaaYW48SVR9p0tMPVizz.1 PC CDB\n\nDissertation Committee members:\n- Qing Li (Chair)\n- Jordan Shavit\n- Doug Engel (Co-mentor)\n- Rami Khoriaty (Co-mentor) UID:134172-21873959@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134172 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Science LOCATION:Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building - Kahn Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250212T090704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250417T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250417T140000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:ITS Spring Power Up DESCRIPTION:Join Information and Technology Services for our spring Power Up event!

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).

By establishing theoretical and methodological ways to access psychological phenomena that are often hidden in professional domains\, we can change the ways that engineering faculty\, students\, and professionals inter-personally relate to those within and outside engineering by altering the ways that they intra-personally understand who they are—their identities—in the context of their professions. In this seminar\, Dr. Huff discusses four strands of research that support this career mission: 1) quality in interpretive research\, 2) personal identity in professional settings\, 3) professional shame in engineering\, and 4) academic well-being in engineering faculty. He will demonstrate how activity in these four strands of research coalesce to create a clarified vision of how engineers could emanate and experience care in the context of their professions.

Using a multi-region\, multi-sector model that explicitly captures produced transportation services as a key input to interregional trade\, we find that the calibrated change in transportation productivity had a sizable impact on aggregate welfare\, magnified by a factor of 2.3 compared to its sectoral share in GDP. The amplification mechanism results from the complementarity between transport services and tradable goods\, interacting with sectoral and spatial linkages. The geographical implications are highly uneven\, with the West and Southwest benefiting the most from market access improvements while the Northeast experiences a decline. Sectoral impacts are largest in transportation-intensive activities like agriculture\, mining and heavy manufacturing. Our results demonstrate the outsized and heterogeneous impact of the transportation sector in shaping US economic activity through specialization and spatial transformation.

The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. \n\nRegister for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/5y2k8.\n \n This talk analyzes the film and philosophy of Matsumoto Toshio\, an avant-garde documentary filmmaker best known for the queer\, kaleidoscopic *Funeral Parade of Roses* (1969) and a series of \"neo-documentary\" films from the early-mid 1960s. Specifically\, it looks at his work through the overarching lens of antifascism. I argue that his writings describe avant-garde documentary as a privileged art form\, uniquely capable of battling against everyday fascist ideology – both fascism in the streets and in our mindset and everyday behavior.\n \n Julia Alekseyeva is an assistant professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania and holds a secondary affiliation with cinema and media studies. Her first academic book\, *Antifascism and the Avant-Garde: Radical Documentary in the 1960s* (UC Press\, Feb. 2025)\, builds off of long-standing work analyzing the interaction between radical media and leftist politics\, especially in Japan\, France\, and the Soviet Union. In addition to her academic work\, she is also a practicing cartoonist and author-illustrator of the award-winning graphic memoir *Soviet Daughter: A Graphic Revolution* (Microcosm\, 2017).\n \n *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu.

DESCRIPTION:Summary: Bees (Hymenoptera : Apoidea : Anthophila) are a speciose and functionally diverse clade of insects\, comprising over 20\,000 described species which act as key pollinators across terrestrial and agricultural ecosystems. However\, despite their ecological and economic importance\, we still lack fundamental understanding of the consequences of bee functional and life history variation for bee ecology\, evolution\, and pollination services. As native pollinator abundance and diversity continue to decline worldwide\, expanding our understanding of how trait variation among bees shapes their geographic distributions and dietary preferences will enhance our ability to predict how global changes may impact this crucial ecosystem service. In this dissertation\, I seek to address these gaps by adopting a macroecological and macroevolutionary approach to bee trait diversity. I will integrate large datasets of traits and phylogenies to identify the environmental factors that govern variation in key functional traits and explore how this variation influences bees' interactions with flowering plants. I will also generate new data on diet preferences for poorly studied tropical bees using novel approaches for honey and pollen metabarcoding and contribute to ongoing efforts in the field to create large\, global datasets of bee traits and bee-plant interactions. Ultimately\, this research will provide new insights into the ecological processes shaping bee diversity and their interactions with flowering plants.

The number of data science and related job openings has grown rapidly over the past 15 years and demand will continue to be strong in the years to come. Academic scientists (from all quantitative fields) are extremely well qualified for such positions. I will discuss the basics of what data science is and what data scientists outside of academia do\, as well as how scientists in academia can become successful candidates for these positions in the Tech Industry. I'll also share my personal path from academic astronomer to gainfully-employed data scientist.
