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

Through an interdisciplinary lens\, participants will examine the role of archives in shaping Armenian history\, cultural identity\, and scholarship\, as well as the limitations and biases inherent in archival practices. By addressing the challenges of archival silences\, displacement\, and the role of digital tools in preservation\, this workshop aims to foster new approaches to archival research.\n\nThe panels will cover a wide range of topics\, including new methods in access and digitization\, materiality and contact within the archive\, the role of state and counter-archives\, and local communities’ preservation practices. Participants will engage with case studies on liturgical hymn organization\, handwritten text recognition\, and digital community archiving\, among other innovative research projects. Additionally\, a special conversation with personal archivist Anahit Toumajan will offer insights into alternative archival practices outside institutional settings. A guided tour of the University of Michigan’s Armenian special collections will provide hands-on engagement with rare books and manuscripts\, further enriching the discussion on archival methodologies and resources.\n\nThe workshop will culminate in a keynote lecture by Dr. Elyse Semerdjian\, whose research on \"embodied archives\" offers a feminist critique of archival practice in Armenian Studies. Her work examines how physical and material remnants\, such as scars and tattooed texts\, function as historical records\, challenging conventional notions of archival preservation. By bringing together scholars\, archivists\, and practitioners\, this workshop seeks to advance critical conversations about the past\, present\, and future of archives in Armenian Studies\, fostering a more nuanced understanding of how history is documented\, remembered\, and reinterpreted.\n\n=========================\nDAY 1 — Friday: April 4\, 2025\n=========================\n\n9:00-9:30 AM — Introductory Remarks: Emma Avagyan (Middle East Studies)\, Nazelie Doghramadjian (Information)\, Allison Grenda (History of Art)\, Gottfried Hagen (Middle East Studies)\n\n9:30-11:00 AM — Panel 1: New Methods in Access\, Preservation\, and Digitization of Armenian Heritage\nDiscussant: Bogdan Pavlish\, University of Michigan\n● Vardan Sargsyan\, University of Michigan. “Unlocking the Sharaknots’: A New Approach to Organizing Armenian Liturgical Hymns”\n● Chahan Vidal-Gòrene\, Calfa\, École Nationale des Chartes-PSL. “A Case Study on the Application of Handwritten Text Recognition to Mekhitarist Archives”\n\n11:00-11:15 AM — Break\n\n11:15 AM-12:45 PM — Panel 2: Beyond Text: Materiality and Contact within the Archive\nDiscussant: Christiane Gruber\, University of Michigan\n● Anahit Gasparyan\, Tufts University. “Reimagining Access to Armenian Sources: The Value of Facsimiles in Art Historical Research”\n● Tsovinar Kuiumchian\, University of Oxford. “‘My house is full of ghosts’: Textile Archive as a Transgenerational Contact Zone”\n\n12:45-2:00 PM — Lunch for Workshop Participants\n\n2:00-3:00 PM — Panel 3: Conversation with Mrs. Anahit Toumajan\, Armenian Language Teacher & Personal Archivist\nModerators: Nazelie Doghramadjian\, University of Michigan\; Michael Pifer\, University of Michigan\n● Anahit Toumajan\, who is an Armenian language teacher and personal archivist in the Armenian community here in Michigan\, will discuss her work preserving and arranging Mihran Toumajan’s archive. Mihran\, born in 1890\, was one of the five pupils of Gomidas and went on to become a famous composer and musician himself. Throughout his life\, he kept detailed correspondence with his family\, friends\, and fellow pupils. Through his letters and journals\, we learn more about his childhood\, his family’s purchase of his first piano\, his lessons with Gomidas\, and well as his capture and exile during the Armenian Genocide. In conversation with PhD student Nazelie Doghramadjian and Marie Manoogian Professor of Armenian Language and Literature Michael Pifer\, Anahit Toumajan will discuss her work on this invaluable archive in her home\, and how her work may be different from institutional archiving. She will also discuss some special materials within the archive that are full of emotion\, personality\, and history.\n\n3:00-3:30 PM — Break\n\n3:30 PM - 4:45 PM — Library and Special Collections Tour\nLed by U-M Librarians Brendan Nieubuurt\, Armine Kirakosyan\, and Beth Snyder [for workshop participants only]\n● The University of Michigan's Hatcher Graduate Library and Special Collections Research Center is a gem on our campus and for the Center for Armenian Studies.

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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: One of the most important tools for exploring heterogeneous data in many application areas are finite density mixture models. Non- and semiparametric finite density mixture models are a relatively new field of research within a wider area of finite density mixture models that has a lot to offer in terms of theory\, methodology\, and applications. In this presentation\, we discuss a general approach to designing algorithms for estimation of components of these models based on the nonparametric smoothed penalized maximum likelihood. This approach results in converging algorithms for many different semi- and nonparametric finite density mixture models\, including the multivariate ones. In doing so\, this approach unifies conceptually many seemingly disparate mixture models. We also illustrate the usefulness of the proposed approach by showing the large-sample consistency of the implicit estimator that results from applying this method. Several simulations and real-life applications round out our presentation. \n\nhttps://www.stat.purdue.edu/people/faculty/mlevins.html UID:132386-21870853@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132386 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. 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:84303-21621561@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:20250327T105216 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T112000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Vertical Integration and Consumer Choice: Evidence from a Field Experiment DESCRIPTION:Platforms\, retailers\, and other firms often offer their own products alongside products sold by competitors\, but this form of vertical integration has become a target of regulation in digital markets. We study the effects of this practice through a field experiment that hides brands owned by Amazon (i.e.\, private labels) from shoppers on Amazon.com. We first consider the effects of this removal on three aspects of consumer behavior: substitution to other products\, changes in search effort\, and substitution to other retail websites. In the absence of Amazon brands\, our results indicate that consumers substitute toward products that are similar along most observable dimensions. We find no evidence that treated consumers change their search effort\, nor that they shift their shopping behavior to other retail websites. To evaluate a fourth mechanism—how the presence of Amazon brands affects equilibrium prices—we estimate a structural model of demand and simulate counterfactual prices when removing such products. Our estimates imply that\, for the categories we study\, removing Amazon brands would reduce consumer surplus by 3.8 percent in the short run\, and roughly one quarter of the impact is due to equilibrium price increases by other products. The effects are heterogeneous\, with consumer surplus reductions exceeding 10 percent in some categories\, while other categories realize no change or even positive increases in consumer surplus when Amazon brands are removed.

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.

In this talk\, she turns to art that lingers in the wound not in order to address/heal the injury but to graze against it\, even to risk re-opening it in the interembodied space of the theatre. Such art is not after healing or repair: it risks\, rather\, an exposure to traumatic intensities that cannot be captured through anamnesis\, intensities that have a fugitive relationship to being grasped or understood\, and which\, importantly\, exert a sadistic force on the artist and the audience. That such sadism is also tender is not a contradiction\, but the very condition of a kind of sadism we might think of as aesthetic. Drawing on the first part of the Cadela Força trilogy by Carolina Bianchi and the art collective Cara de Cavalo\, Saketopoulou explores how wound and aesthetics meet through an ethical form of sadistic practice conjugated not through clarity\, understanding\, or catharsis but through the courting of confusion.\n\nAvgi Saketopoulou is a psychoanalyst who lives and works in New York City. She completed her analytic training at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis\, where she also teaches. Her published work addresses issues around trauma\, gender\, and sexuality. She is the author of Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk\, Race\, Traumatophilia (NYU Press\, 2023) and co-author with Ann Pellegrini of Gender Without Identity (Unconscious in Translation 2023). \n\nThank you to our co-sponsors: \nInstitute for the Humanities\, UMOR\, and LSA DEI Office UID:133768-21873541@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133768 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Communications,Discussion,film,free,humanities,In Person,institute for the humanities,Interdisciplinary,Language,lecture,multicultural,networks,Performance Art,Philosophy,Romance Languages And Literatures,Social Impact,Storytelling,Talk,Workshop,Writing LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - RLL Commons (MLB 4314) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250328T121803 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T130000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Dear Colleagues: Diversity\, equity & inclusion initiatives are legally defensible and here is how higher education should respond.

As a scholar of the Black Atlantic he has curated and co-curated exhibitions with Black British artists including the Turner Prize winner\, Lubaina Himid\, Godfried Donkor\, textile artist Althea McNish and rising stars Jade de Montserrat and Lela Harris. This talk will showcase these curatorial interventions including work with the Whitworth on their Trade and Empire exhibition where together with his co-curators he used extant objects to tell new stories about slavery and exploitation. \n\nMore recent work in Lancaster focuses on its history as the fourth largest slave port and uses the work of Black British artists to challenge the elision of difficult histories. He will discuss how he\, together with Lancaster Black History Group\, uses the work of Himid\, de Montserrat and Harris to get African Atlantic representation into the heart of the museum. His final short case study will show how together with Preston Black History Group he has worked with the community in Bamber Bridge to memorialise the widely forgotten story of a mutiny against Jim Crow segregation by African American troops in a small village in Lancashire. Overall\, he will discuss the importance of activist interventions as an academic and curator.

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

At HSHE\, we envision a world where decent\, safe\, affordable\, and healthy housing is available to everyone. However\, we know our state and nation are far from realizing that vision. We understand that living conditions and location impact many aspects of people’s lives\, including their health. We also understand that inequities in access to decent\, safe\, affordable\, and healthy housing persist in Michigan and across the United States. As a part of our work\, we developed a pilot grant program to fund researchers who are interested in exploring housing and health related topics. During this webinar\, we will hear from our three grantees – Dr. Kate Bauer\, Associate Professor of Nutritional Sciences\, Dr. Margi Dewar\, Professor Emerita of Urban and Regional Planning\, and Dr. Joe LaBriola\, Research Assistant Professor at the Institute for Social Research – who will discuss their projects and findings.

Uncovering the mechanisms by which a large number of microbial species can coexist on limited resources remains an important open problem. Here I will discuss this problem in unique context: bacteria that inhabit tumors. Bacterial colonization of solid tumors is widespread\, but how the tumor environment affects bacterial growth (and vice versa) is poorly understood. Our experimental collaborators infect mouse tumors with DNA-barcoded bacteria\, creating competition among thousands of clonal bacterial \"species\". We find that after an initial expansion period\, clone sizes exhibit universal power-law statistics. These statistics are robust across experiments and collection times\, and unique to bacteria grown in the tumor environment rather than in liquid culture. Combining population ecology with nonequilibrium statistical physics\, we develop a mechanistic theory of intra-tumor bacterial growth that includes an infection bottleneck\, local growth constraints\, global resource competition\, and environmental noise. Our simple physical theory captures the dynamics and the statistics of the experiments\, explains the uniqueness of the observations to the tumor environment\, and represents an important step in quantitatively characterizing the tumor microbiome.

However\, it is unclear whether this inference is accurate given that prior research has largely overlooked the role of ethnicity. Analyzing data from the US and Western Europe (N = 34\,443)\, we found that ethnic minorities (and right-wing individuals) prefer strong leaders to a greater extent than Whites (and left-wing individuals). Notably\, ethnic minorities across diverse ethnic and political backgrounds are closer to right-wing Whites on strong leader preference than to left-wing Whites. Our work also provides some evidence\, using both measurement-of-mediation (Studies 1-4) and experimental mediation (pre-registered Studies 5-6)\, that generalized trust helps explain group differences in strong leader preference.

Today\, the hospital seems nearly invisible\, even though it bookends the beginning and end of most people’s lives. But initially this institution was met with opposition from a host of critics and commentators.\n\nThis talk focuses on Vienna in the twentieth century as the privileged site for this exemplary tale about the hospital’s rise\, the suspicions it generated\, and the experiences it occasioned. The Architecture of Illness investigates various hospital building styles\, as these come to influence people’s experiences of health care. Using examples from literary works by Arthur Schnitzler and Rainer Maria Rilke as well as architectural treatises\, this talk charts the waiting games\, the diffuse spaces\, and the contagious rumors that plague hospitals from the moment of their establishment.\n\n \nFatima Naqvi is Leavenworth Professor of German and Film at Yale University. She is currently the chair of the Film & Media Studies Program as well as of the European Studies Council. Her scholarship has focused on the intersection of architecture and Bildung in the literature of Thomas Bernhard\; landscape and its function in post-war West German culture\; the rhetoric of victimhood in Western European Culture from the late 1960s to the present\; and the films of director Michael Haneke. Drawn to the curmudgeons\, querulous types\, and naysayers of literature and film\, she has recently written on Elfriede Jelinek\, Ruth Beckermann\, Friederike Mayröcker\, and Peter Handke.

Consumers have a binary protected characteristic\, which is associated with value distributions ranked in the likelihood ratio order\, conditional on the cost of serving them. We characterize the revenue-maximizing market segmentation and pricing strategy subject to a non-discriminatory constraint\, where consumers with the same cost but different protected characteristics must face the same price distributions. This problem is equivalent to an optimal transport with a non-supermodular objective function. When consumers' value distributions given protected characteristics are different enough\, consumers could retain positive surplus under the profit-maximizing pricing rule\, although which protected characteristic benefits more is generally ambiguous. Moreover\, these surplus are enjoyed by consumers with intermediate values\, whereas high-value and low-value consumers do not retain any surplus.

In this work\, we demonstrate that we can reap the benefits of overparameterization without the computational burden. First\, we develop theory showing that when training the parameters of a deep linear network to fit a low-rank or wide matrix\, the gradient dynamics of each weight matrix are confined to an invariant low-dimensional subspace. This is done by carefully studying the gradient update step\, which is the product of several matrix variables\, and noticing the way low-rank structure passes from the low-rank target through the variables sequentially. Given this invariant subspace\, we can construct and train compact\, highly compressed factorizations possessing the same benefits as their overparameterized counterparts. For language model fine-tuning\, we introduce a method called \"Deep LoRA\"\, which improves the existing low-rank adaptation (LoRA) technique. While this technique does not arise directly from our theory\, it involves only a minor modification that is surprisingly effective and of great interest for future theoretical study.\n\nContact: Peter Miller UID:130193-21865580@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130193 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T063245 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Discover McKinsey's Hispanic and Latino Network DESCRIPTION:Meet McKinsey's Hispanic and Latino Network!

We introduce a family of posets called categorical n-associahedra\, which naturally extend Bottman's 2-associahedra and the classical associahedra. Categorical n-associahedra give a combinatorial model for the poset of strata of a compactified real moduli space of a tree arrangement of affine coordinate subspaces. We construct a family of complete polyhedral fans\, called velocity fans\, whose coordinates encode the relative velocities of pairs of colliding coordinate subspaces\, and whose face posets are the categorical n-associahedra. In particular\, this gives the first fan realization of 2-associahedra. In the case of the classical associahedron\, the velocity fan specializes to the normal fan of Loday's realization of the associahedron. Time permitting\, we will discuss current investigations of projectivity of velocity fans. This is joint work with Nathaniel Bottman and Daria Poliakova.

During the Late Cretaceous (100-66 Ma)\, over half of modern angiosperm families rapidly evolved. This led to the shift from gymnosperm (e.g.\, conifers\, cycads) dominated forests to angiosperm dominated forests in which landscapes began to appear more similar to the modern. In this talk\, I will discuss how my research group investigates this critical transition by analyzing three-dimensionally preserved plant fossil from the Late Cretaceous on western North America and Antarctica. The exceptional preservation of these fossils allows us to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships and the paleobiology of these fossils in outstanding detail\, which enables new perspectives on the Late Cretaceous diversification of angiosperms and the concomitant development of modern terrestrial ecosystems.

She had previously held professorial appointments at the University of Kent\, UK and the University of California\, San Diego. Arvaniti’s research covers prosody\, and focuses particularly on the production and perception of intonation and speech rhythm. Her research takes a cross-linguistic perspective\, covering several languages that include English\, Greek\, Korean\, Polish\, and Romani.\n\nDr. Arvaniti will be joining us via Zoom.\n\nTitle:\nHow to tame your intonation: from concepts to methods and back\n\nAbstract:\nIn this talk I will provide a brief overview of the major findings and conclusions of SPRINT\, a five-year project funded by the European Research Council to study intonation in English and Greek. The main objective of SPRINT has been to develop a new approach to intonation based primarily on the investigation of intonation variability and pragmatics. SPRINT started from the position that intonation is not a “half-tamed savage”\, as the frequently used (and highly questionable) metaphor of Bolinger’s has it\, but part of a language’s phonological component whose phonetic features are as tame as any other aspect of speech production\, provided a) we treat them as such and b) we employ suitable methodologies to study them. Starting from this position\, in the talk\, I cover three topics: a) the main sources of variability in intonation and the methodologies employed in SPRINT to address them\, so we can distinguish systematic\, linguistically determined variation\, from gradience\, and noise\; b) the role that meaning can play in this process\; c) the lessons we learned from researching these topics and the ways they have shaped the main SPRINT objective\, determining what we retain from AM\, the most widely adopted model of intonation\, and what we need to revise. Overall\, the findings support SPRINT’s starting point and provide encouraging results on which to build this new foundation.

What she accidentally found was too urgent to ignore. Her neighbors\, many of whom had owned their homes for decades\, were losing them to property tax foreclosure\, leaving once bustling Black neighborhoods blighted with vacant homes.\n\nThrough years of dogged investigation and research\, Atuahene uncovered a system of predatory governance\, where public officials raise public dollars through laws and processes that produce or sustain racial inequity — a nationwide practice in no way limited to Detroit.\n\nIn this powerful work of scholarship and storytelling\, Atuahene shows how predatory governance invites complicity from well-meaning people\, eviscerates communities\, and widens the racial wealth gap. By following the lives of two Detroit grandfathers\, one Black and the other white\, and their grandchildren\, Atuahene tells a riveting tale about racist policies\, how they take root\, why they flourish\, and who profits.

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.

While archival theory often conceptualizes archives as repositories of collective memory\, history\, or knowledge\, this workshop explores both institutional and non-traditional archives\, questioning how they are formed\, preserved\, and accessed. Through an interdisciplinary lens\, participants will examine the role of archives in shaping Armenian history\, cultural identity\, and scholarship\, as well as the limitations and biases inherent in archival practices. By addressing the challenges of archival silences\, displacement\, and the role of digital tools in preservation\, this workshop aims to foster new approaches to archival research.\n\nThe panels will cover a wide range of topics\, including new methods in access and digitization\, materiality and contact within the archive\, the role of state and counter-archives\, and local communities’ preservation practices. Participants will engage with case studies on liturgical hymn organization\, handwritten text recognition\, and digital community archiving\, among other innovative research projects. Additionally\, a special conversation with personal archivist Anahit Toumajan will offer insights into alternative archival practices outside institutional settings. A guided tour of the University of Michigan’s Armenian special collections will provide hands-on engagement with rare books and manuscripts\, further enriching the discussion on archival methodologies and resources.\n\nThe workshop will culminate in a keynote lecture by Dr. Elyse Semerdjian\, whose research on \"embodied archives\" offers a feminist critique of archival practice in Armenian Studies. Her work examines how physical and material remnants\, such as scars and tattooed texts\, function as historical records\, challenging conventional notions of archival preservation. By bringing together scholars\, archivists\, and practitioners\, this workshop seeks to advance critical conversations about the past\, present\, and future of archives in Armenian Studies\, fostering a more nuanced understanding of how history is documented\, remembered\, and reinterpreted.\n\n=========================\nDAY 1 — Friday: April 4\, 2025\n=========================\n\n9:00-9:30 AM — Introductory Remarks: Emma Avagyan (Middle East Studies)\, Nazelie Doghramadjian (Information)\, Allison Grenda (History of Art)\, Gottfried Hagen (Middle East Studies)\n\n9:30-11:00 AM — Panel 1: New Methods in Access\, Preservation\, and Digitization of Armenian Heritage\nDiscussant: Bogdan Pavlish\, University of Michigan\n● Vardan Sargsyan\, University of Michigan. “Unlocking the Sharaknots’: A New Approach to Organizing Armenian Liturgical Hymns”\n● Chahan Vidal-Gòrene\, Calfa\, École Nationale des Chartes-PSL. “A Case Study on the Application of Handwritten Text Recognition to Mekhitarist Archives”\n\n11:00-11:15 AM — Break\n\n11:15 AM-12:45 PM — Panel 2: Beyond Text: Materiality and Contact within the Archive\nDiscussant: Christiane Gruber\, University of Michigan\n● Anahit Gasparyan\, Tufts University. “Reimagining Access to Armenian Sources: The Value of Facsimiles in Art Historical Research”\n● Tsovinar Kuiumchian\, University of Oxford. “‘My house is full of ghosts’: Textile Archive as a Transgenerational Contact Zone”\n\n12:45-2:00 PM — Lunch for Workshop Participants\n\n2:00-3:00 PM — Panel 3: Conversation with Mrs. Anahit Toumajan\, Armenian Language Teacher & Personal Archivist\nModerators: Nazelie Doghramadjian\, University of Michigan\; Michael Pifer\, University of Michigan\n● Anahit Toumajan\, who is an Armenian language teacher and personal archivist in the Armenian community here in Michigan\, will discuss her work preserving and arranging Mihran Toumajan’s archive.

These materials\, which convert electricity to light and vice-versa\, continue to improve\, but questions remain concerning electron and energy transport processes. Understanding ultra-fast (femtosecond) and small-scale (nanometer) processes in these systems is crucial for improving performance in optical and electronic applications. In this presentation\, Professor Goodson will describe the results of studies of light-matter interactions in organic materials using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy to investigate energy transport and its importance to electronic devices we rely on daily.\n\nJoin us in person or via live stream: https://myumi.ch/ErXD3\n\nMore information about the Saturday Morning Physics Lecture Series is available on our website: https://myumi.ch/9gmgn UID:131617-21868839@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/131617 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Free,Lecture,Natural Sciences,Physics,Smoke-free,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 170 & 182 Auditoriums CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250405T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250405T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering DESCRIPTION:Welcome.

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:84303-21621562@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:20250405T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250405T170000 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).

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.
