SUMMARY:Performance:Yasmin Williams
DESCRIPTION:Yasmin will be joined by very special guests\, dancer Nic Gareiss and pianist Lucy Yao.\n\n“one of the most inventive guitar players of the last decade\, an artist devoted to deploying seemingly every technique imaginable to coax new sounds and ideas out of her instrument” –Pitchfork\n\nYasmin Williams is an innovative guitarist and composer known for her unique compositional approach and expansive instrumental style. Her latest album Acadia\, released on Nonesuch Records\, showcases her evolution from solo performer to collaborative artist\, featuring partnerships with notable musicians like Aoife O'Donovan and Immanuel Wilkins.\n\nWilliams' distinctive creative process involves \"ruminating\" on single notes until compositions naturally emerge. Beyond traditional fingerpicked guitar\, she demonstrates mastery of multiple instruments including kora\, harp guitar\, banjo\, and electric guitar. Her music\, while rooted in folk traditions\, transcends conventional structures to incorporate elements of progressive rock and experimental composition.\n\nFollowing her acclaimed 2021 album Urban Driftwood\, Acadia represents a significant artistic expansion\, featuring three distinct sections that move from traditional folk influences to atmospheric soundscapes and experimental arrangements. Williams' approach emphasizes sustained tones and intricate articulation\, creating music that balances technical precision with ethereal\, floating melodies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flyways
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration\, political exile\, queerness\, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Carl Laird\, Carnegie Mellon University
DESCRIPTION:Systems\, Surrogates\, Solutions: Optimization and Machine Learning for Decision-Making at Scale\n\nEmerging global challenges are pushing the limits of today's scientific computing tools. To overcome these barriers\, our group develops open-source solutions for large-scale optimization problems. At the intersection of data science and mathematical programming\, new capabilities support optimization-based decision-making with embedded machine-learning and data-driven models. Leveraging high-level languages like Python\, we are democratizing these capabilities\, placing powerful tools in the hands of a broader research community. Two vignettes illustrate the effectiveness of these capabilities to tackle challenging science and engineering problems at scale.\n   The first vignette highlights our rapid-response work during COVID-19. The pandemic exposed significant challenges in mitigating emerging infectious diseases. I will discuss our work to efficiently estimate county-level transmission parameter dynamics using a fully-coupled\, national-scale model. With full spatio-temporal transmission parameter profiles\, we were able to estimate the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on the spread of COVID-19. Our current work focuses on developing accessible\, advanced optimization capabilities that enable inference on very large-scale\, nonlinear dynamic systems.\n   Machine learning (ML) models are increasingly used as surrogates for complex processes within engineering. Here\, I will discuss the need for surrogates in large-scale decision-making and introduce the Optimization and Machine Learning Toolkit (OMLT)\, a Python framework developed in collaboration with Imperial College London and Sandia National Laboratories. This package supports solution of mathematical programming problems with embedded ML models. I will showcase several applications that illustrate the use of machine learning surrogates\, including for example\, process design and operations\, bioprocess modeling\, and process family design.\n\nCarl D. Laird\nJohn E. Swearingen Professor and Department Head\n\nProf. Carl Laird is the John E. Swearingen Professor and Department\n			   Head in the Chemical Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University. His international reputation centers on pioneering high-performance computing strategies for large-scale nonlinear and discrete optimization problems\, parallel scientific computing strategies\, and the development of open-source optimization capabilities\, including both modeling and solvers. He has worked in several application areas\, including process and energy systems\, product manufacturing\, biopharmaceutical processes\, homeland security\, and large-scale infectious disease spread. He is the recipient of several research awards\, including the Steven J. Fenves Award for Systems Research\, Carnegie Mellon College of Engineering\, the INFORMS Computing Society Prize\, CAST Division Outstanding Young Researcher Award\, National Science Foundation Faculty Early Development (CAREER) Award\, and the prestigious Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software for his work on IPOPT\, a software library for solving nonlinear\, nonconvex\, large-scale continuous optimization problems.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Jenan Kharbush
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: “Nitrogen availability” refers to the amounts of biologically usable nitrogen forms relative to demand by the biological community. In cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) dominated by the non-diazotrophic cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa\, nitrogen availability is critical for the production of the nitrogen-rich toxin microcystin\, and may also play a role in shaping M. aeruginosa strain composition and relative abundance of toxic and non-toxic strains. During the annual CyanoHAB in Western Lake Erie\, both the dominant form of nitrogen (organic vs. inorganic) and M. aeruginosa strain composition shift as the bloom progresses\, as does the heterotrophic bacterial community composition in M. aeruginosa colonies. Recent metagenomics and culture-based work suggests that some of these heterotrophs may be involved in nitrogen acquisition and cycling processes with Microcystis. In this talk I will discuss some of our recent efforts to understand the influence of nitrogen form on Microcystis bloom ecology\, via both strain-specific adaptations and interactions with other community members such as heterotrophic bacteria. This includes examining how nitrogen form influences exometabolite production in cultured M. aeruginosa strains\, as well as using nano-secondary ion mass spectrometry (nanoSIMS) to measure how cell-specific nitrogen uptake in field communities changes with bloom phase. \n\nAbout the speaker: Jenan is an Assistant Professor in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department at the University of Michigan. She earned her PhD in Chemical Oceanography from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography\, where she developed an appreciation for the complexity of microbial life and the outsized influence microbes have on their environment. At U-M\, her research group studies how aquatic microorganisms\, particularly phytoplankton\, acquire and use nitrogen\, including during CyanoHABs. They combine laboratory culture experiments with field-based environmental observations to link cellular-level nitrogen cycling processes to large-scale geochemical patterns in both modern and ancient environments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Master's Thesis Defense Seminar> Calcium and F-actin dynamics  during tricellular zipping in  epithelial junction remodeling
DESCRIPTION:Epithelial cells form adhesive connections through cell-cell junctions\, maintaining a selective barrier despite significant cell shape changes during development and tissue homeostasis. This is accomplished through the active remodeling of cell-cell junctions\, a process largely driven by actomyosin contractility. Using live microscopy of the Xenopus laevis embryonic epithelium\, my lab has characterized “tricellular zipping”\, a vertex remodeling process that contributes to the transition from irregular epithelial cell geometries at the blastula stage to the more regular hexagonal packing that emerges at the gastrula stage of development. Tricellular zipping involves the resolution of a long\, thin cellular extension that stretches toward a vertex where four or more cells meet. As two cells 'zip' together to lengthen a new bicellular interface\, the other cell recedes\, thus forming a new tricellular vertex at the end of zipping. Tricellular zipping is accompanied by transient flashes of cytoplasmic calcium within the long cell extension. My research has focused on investigating these calcium flashes\, whether the calcium flashes are correlated with actomyosin accumulation\, and how pulsatile calcium and actin accumulations drive the elongation of the new bicellular interface between two zipping cells. My data reveals that each tricellular zipping event is accompanied by multiple calcium flashes within the long cellular extension. Following each calcium flash\, there is an increase in the rate of elongation of the new bicellular interface. F-actin also accumulates in a pulsatile fashion within the long cellular extension during tricellular zipping. Cross-correlation analysis demonstrates that calcium flashes are correlated with F-actin accumulation\, and calcium flashes precede F-actin accumulation\, suggesting that pulsatile calcium flashes may activate actin polymerization and/or Myosin II activation during tricellular zipping. Together\, these findings suggest that calcium-associated actomyosin pulses drive tricellular zipping. This research provides new information about an uncharacterized mechanism of junctional remodeling and the emerging role of localized calcium signaling in regulating epithelial junction remodeling during early embryonic development.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Digital Financial Services and Women’s Empowerment: Experimental Evidence from Tanzania\, joint with Rachel Heath
DESCRIPTION:Can increasing women's use of digital financial services raise their empowerment? We test this hypothesis using a randomized control trial with 152 female microfinance groups in Tanzania\, where treated groups were randomly switched from cash to mobile money loan repayment. This exogenous increase in women's use of mobile money leads women to expand their use for other types of transactions\, including business payments and saving. Women's control over their finances increases and they are more empowered within the household. Over time\, women's businesses become more profitable. These findings highlight the benefits of shifting payments to digital for women.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Modeling Structure in Unstructured Data: Statistical and Causal Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Modern machine learning systems are trained on massive amounts of unstructured data such as text\, images\, and sequences. Despite the apparent lack of explicit structure\, they exhibit remarkable abilities to learn patterns\, perform reasoning\, and support decision-making. This apparent paradox raises a central question: what structure do these models recover from unstructured data\, and how can we understand and use it?\n\nThis dissertation investigates how language models (i) represent structure through their architectures\, (ii) learn structure from unstructured data\, and (iii) enable us to leverage this learned structure for principled causal inference with unstructured data.\n\nThe first part develops a statistical perspective of attention mechanisms\, the core building block of modern language models. We show that attention can be interpreted as adaptive mixture-of-experts models. This interpretation enables us to extend attention to model general exponential family-distributed data\, making it capable of modeling complex\, heterogeneous data beyond text. In turn\, this perspective reframes attention as a statistical model\, explaining how it captures complex dependencies and latent structure\, with guarantees on identifiability and generalization.\n\nThe second part examines how such structure arises from unstructured training data. We show that many in-context learning behaviors can emerge directly from co-occurrence patterns in unstructured text\, linking modern models to classical co-occurrence modeling tools like latent factor modeling. At the same time\, we identify the limits of this mechanism: positional structure becomes essential for more complex reasoning tasks. We further demonstrate that training data composition plays a critical role in shaping model behavior and alignment\, with example difficulty acting as a key factor.\n\nThe final part studies how learned representations in language models can be leveraged for causal inference in high-dimensional\, unstructured settings. Our approach identifies causal variables directly within the representation space\, enabling well-defined estimation of causal effects when treatments or outcomes are themselves unstructured. In particular\, we isolate representation directions corresponding to the most causally influential treatment components and the most salient treatment-induced outcome variations.\n\nTogether\, these results provide a unified perspective on how modern machine learning systems extract structure from unstructured data\, and how that structure can be harnessed for rigorous statistical and causal analysis.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Connected and Protected: Neural Mechanisms Underlying the Regulatory Power of Social Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Social relationships are central to human life\, but how do they shape the ways the mind and body respond to threat\, safety\, and distress? In this talk\, I examine this question through a research program focused on the regulatory functions of social connection. I first ask why social disconnection is so distressing\, and what that can reveal about the role of social connection in human survival. I then explore how close others reduce distress\, considering the possibility that loved ones may do more than provide comfort—they may fundamentally alter how threat is processed. Finally\, I examine whether caregiving and prosocial behavior represent another important pathway through which social relationships regulate threat responses and influence well-being. Together\, this work highlights a central idea: social relationships are not simply part of the backdrop of human life\, but they fundamentally shape how our minds and bodies interpret and respond to reality.\n\nThe talk will be followed by a reception with light refreshments on the Third Floor Terrace\, East Hall

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Land Conservation and the Clean Energy Transition:Evidence from U.S. Wind and Solar Development
DESCRIPTION:We study the interactions between land conservation policy and renewable energy development using over a decade of U.S. wind and solar grid interconnection applications linked to fine-grained geospatial data. A model of competitive site selection shows that the welfare implications of land use protections depend on the correlation between conservation value and private development potential. When this correlation is weak\, targeted restrictions can steer projects away from ecologically sensitive areas without meaningfully raising technology deployment costs. Estimating a sequential model of site entry and project advancement\, we find that wetlands protections and conservation easements significantly deter development. Correlations between measures of engineering profitability and measures of conservation value are near zero\, implying that the landscape is amenable to well-targeted conservation policy. However\, our estimates of the ‘soft costs’ imposed by the existing patchwork of restrictions appear substantial. Ongoing counterfactual analysis aims to quantify these compliance burdens and assess how alternative land use regimes could reshape the spatial allocation of renewable energy development.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Tissue-Inspired Synthetic Biomaterials and Applications in Cancer\nAbstract:\nMost environments available to study how human cells behave are two-dimensional (2D). In real tissue\, cells live surrounded by a three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix (ECM)\, which provides structure\, drives cell function\, and is dynamically remodeled by the cells within. A major limitation of the few examples of 3D cell culture environments that do exist (typically made from assemblages of proteins) is that their constituents are undefined\, and they have unacceptable batch-to-batch variability. On the other end of the spectrum\, the major drawbacks to using engineered\, synthetic environments is their over-simplicity and lack of resemblance to real tissue. My lab’s unique approach to biomaterial design is that we create cheap and easy-to-use\, yet complex representations of the ECM of specific tissues. My lab’s tissue-customized environments are hydrogels from synthetic polymers that replicate a tissue’s 3D geometry\, the stiffness of that tissue\, and all the integrin-binding and protease-degradable components of the ECM of the tissue of interest. We made biomaterial designs for brain\, bone marrow\, omentum\, and lung\, and we have applied our approach to several complex problems in biology (e.g.\, astrocyte reactivity\, mesenchymal stem cell differentiation\, ovarian cancer\, etc.). \n\nIn this seminar\, I’ll discuss how we use our engineering principles to create these environments and show how we’ve begun to use them to study grand challenges in cancer biology. One of the overwhelming challenges in treating metastatic cancer is that tumors in the brain\, lung\, skeleton\, and liver are typically drug resistant\, and we do not have a good understanding of why these tumors evade therapy. The biomaterials we have built over the years are well suited for drug screening applications and to study how the extracellular microenvironment regulates the metastatic spread of cancer. \nBio:\nShelly Peyton is Professor and Department Chair of Biomedical Engineering at Tufts University. She received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Northwestern University in 2002 and went on to obtain her MS and PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of California\, Irvine in 2007. She was then an NIH Kirschstein post-doctoral fellow in the Biological Engineering department at MIT before starting her academic appointment in Chemical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2011. At UMass she was named the Barry and Afsaneh Siadat Professional Development Professor\, Armstrong Professor\, Conti Fellow\, and Provost Professor before moving to Tufts University to become chair of Biomedical Engineering in 2024. At Tufts\, the Peyton lab is an interdisciplinary group of engineers and biologists that create bioinspired and dynamic models of human tissue with both synthetic biomaterials and decellularized tissues. They use these tissue models to 1) understand the physical relationship between metastatic cancer cells and the tissues to which they spread\, 2) uncover the role of the extracellular matrix and its dynamics in drug resistant cancers\, and 3) quantify how forces from traumatic brain injury damage cells within the brain. Shelly’s honors include a Pew Biomedical Scholarship\, an NIH New Innovator Award\, an NSF CAREER award\, Biomedical Engineering Society fellow\, and an American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering fellow. Outside of her research and her Chair’s role\, Shelly is passionate about graduate student training and diversifying the academy. She was awarded an Outstanding Teaching Award and a Diversity Award from the College of Engineering at UMass\, has led an REU Site\, co-directed a Biotechnology (BTP) NIH T32 training program\, and was lead PI of a PREP program at UMass. Since 2013\, the Peyton has continuously run an NSF- and privately funded program called Engineering the Cell\, which pays high school students with no prior research experience to work in the Peyton lab for 5 weeks every summer. Outside of her work\, Shelly is an avid cyclist\, enjoys board games\, lego\, travel\, and coaches ultimate frisbee.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899:  Kapil Chalil Madathil
DESCRIPTION:As work\, healthcare\, and decision-making increasingly occur across distance\, physical separation is often assumed to degrade performance. Research in human-centered systems design reveals a more nuanced reality: performance often survives distance\, but the hidden costs shift to workload\, and coordination. This talk examines how the design of collaborative systems determines whether distance becomes manageable or dangerous. Drawing on two decades of research spanning remote collaboration\, immersive virtual environments\, telemedicine-enabled stroke care\, and human-AI teaming in high-risk settings\, the talk shows how redesigning systems\, rather than pushing people harder\, can dramatically improve outcomes. The talk argues that the future of distributed work and intelligent systems will be defined by seamlessly integrated\, intelligently designed human–machine partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series -  From Market Signals to Maintenance Decisions: Electricity Price Forecasting and Market-Aware Maintenance for Energy Assets
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nOperational decision-making in modern power systems is increasingly shaped by uncertain market signals\, such as electricity prices and curtailment levels. In this talk\, I will present our research group’s recent efforts to develop data- driven methods for forecasting these signals\, and further leveraging them to inform asset-level decision-making. First\, I will present a multivariate statistical approach for electricity price forecasting designed to capture system\, market\, and temporal dependencies that are prevalent in electricity price signals. The proposed approach is evaluated on two years of electricity prices from the California Independent System Operator\, showing significant improvements in both point and probabilistic forecast metrics relative to well-established statistical and emerging deep learning methods. Independent validation against industry-adopted forecasting systems further demonstrates the approach’s competitive performance and practical relevance. I then turn to how variability in market signals (naturally viewed as a challenge for asset management) can\, counter-intuitively\, be turned into an opportunity for improved decision-making. In particular\, I will present a grid- informed maintenance optimization framework for wind energy assets that incorporates grid- level information\, such as electricity prices and curtailment\, to support condition-based maintenance decisions. Together\, these results highlight how market signals can be accurately predicted\, and further leveraged to inform asset management\, bridging forecasting and optimization in modern power systems.\n\nBiography:\nAziz Ezzat is an Assistant Professor of Industrial & Systems Engineering at Rutgers University\, where he leads the Renewables & Industrial Analytics (RIA) Research Group.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Forest responses to disturbances associated with climate change
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Disturbances such as drought and wind are increasing in frequency and severity as the climate changes\, impacting forests across the globe. In my seminar\, I will discuss the implications of climate change for forest disturbances\, with particular emphasis on drought and hurricanes in tropical forests. Lianas\, or woody vines\, are increasing in abundance and size across the Neotropics\, likely driven by greater seasonality resulting from shifts in rainfall patterns. Tropical trees exhibit substantial interspecific and intraspecific variation in drought resistance\, which may favor some species over others during drought events and ultimately change forest composition. The compound effects of hurricanes and drought\, along with changes in these disturbance regimes\, are altering forest composition and could lead to an overall decline in forest carbon storage. I will present her research on these topics\, drawing on case studies from Costa Rica\, Panama\, and Puerto Rico\, and highlighting drought impacts at the functional group level (lianas versus trees)\, variation in drought resistance among tropical trees\, and the compound effects of hurricanes followed by drought on tropical forests using a large-scale throughfall exclusion experiment.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: A Pretense of Ownership: The Peremptory Enslavement of Rose Bazile (Port-au-Prince\, Santiago de Cuba\, New Orleans)
DESCRIPTION:Almost a decade after the Haitian Revolution led to the abolition of slavery in the French colony of Saint-Domingue\, Napoleon Bonaparte sent an expeditionary force to try to crush the Revolution and reverse emancipation. Though he failed on both counts\, the destruction his assault unleashed turned thousands into refugees. Among those who fled in 1803 were a man born in southern France named Pierre Bazy\, an African-born woman named Gertrude\, and Gertrude’s child named Rose.\n\nUpon arrival in Cuba and later in Louisiana\, Pierre claimed to own Rose\, and thus to control her labor\, her behavior\, and access to her body. Rose nonetheless found ways to live according to her own contrary claim to free status\, and to document that freedom. Enraged\, Pierre reported her to the New Orleans police as marronne (a runaway from slavery)\, leading to her arrest and jailing. Soon judges\, lawyers\, and dozens of witnesses had to address in court variants of the question: What is evidence of ownership\, and what is evidence of freedom? Or\, as we might put it: What could keep the legal fiction of property in a person afloat\, and what might sink it?\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Professors Jie (Jackie) Li\, Ralf J. Spatzier\, and Nicholas A. Valentino\, Collegiate Professorship Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place both in person and virtually.\n\nProfessor Jie (Jackie) Li\nRodney C. Ewing Collegiate Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences\n\nLecture Title: From Diamonds to Dynamo: How Earth Stays Magnetic? \n\nLecture Abstract: Beneath the dancing lights of the aurora lies a 4-billion-year survival story. By recreating the extreme pressures and temperatures of Earth’s core with gem-quality diamonds and tightly focused lasers\, we peer into our planet’s deepest engine. There\, we uncover how a cooling Earth overcame major energy crises by switching its fuel source\, thereby sustaining the magnetic shield that protects life.\n\nProfessor Ralf J. Spatzier\nGopal Prasad Collegiate Professor of Mathematics\n\nLecture Title: Symmetry In Geometry and Dynamics:\nThe Role of Intuition in Mathematics Research\n\nLecture Abstract: How does mathematics progress? And how do\nmathematicians actually make progress?\n\nWe are actually making lots of progress\, and I hope I can\nconvince you! But there are many ways we achieve this. Let\nme tell you about it in my own case.\nLeading Question: How do I make progress?\n1: By working hard long hours in my office with my computer?\n2: By doing difficult calculations with pen and paper?\n3: By going for a walk?\nI will try to illuminate how fundamental progress happened in my\nown limited experience. It involved grand ideas such as\n“symmetry” and how it limits possibilities. A classical example\nare the Platonic solids\, i.e. convex regular polyhedra with\ncongruent faces (symmetry). Turns out there are only five.\nWhen a few mild harmless assumptions greatly limit the possible\nobjects and even completely determine a system\, we speak of\n“RIGIDITY”\, just as in the case of the platonic solids.\nIn my own research\, symmetry is an overriding principle\, leading\nto rigidity in geometry. As it happened - and after many walks -\nthis also inspired ideas for rigidity in dynamical systems with\nsymmetry.\nSymmetry and extremal properties have played a major role in\nmathematics for a long time. While I will start to discuss this in\n\nthe context of some Riemannian geometry\, I will emphasize more\nrecent work on dynamical systems. Here symmetry expresses\nitself in terms of having non-trivially commuting maps or flows\,\nor an action of some group with complicated relations. Case in\npoint are actions of semisimple Lie groups\, especially ones of\nhigher rank\, e.g. SL(n\,R) with n at least 3. This is the so-called\nZimmer program. I will hint at some recent highlights.\n\nProfessor Nicholas A. Valentino\nDonald R. Kinder Collegiate Professor of Political Science\n\nLecture Title: The Big River: Explorations on the Role of Race in Politics\n\nLecture Abstract: My work owes most of its inspiration to the Symbolic Politics Theory proposed originally by David Sears at UCLA in the 1980s and further developed by Donald Kinder here at Michigan. The central claim of that theory is that symbolic predispositions- partisanship\, racial identity\, prejudice- and the deeply rooted emotions associated with these attachments drive many political choices and behavior much more powerfully than material self-interest. The theory originally focused on explaining policy opinions and behaviors with direct and explicit consequences for the distribution of rights and resources between racial groups in America\, and even more narrowly on the black-white divides over affirmative action and the election of African American candidates. One of my main goals has been to broaden this exploration to political domains explicitly unrelated to race\, such as crime\, immigration\, government surveillance\, electoral laws\, and so on. In general\, my collaborators and I find that deeply rooted racial attitudes\, identities\, and emotional processes profoundly impact nearly every domain of politics. \n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join the webinar.\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95783933422\n\nPhone one-tap:\n+13092053325\,\,95783933422# US\n+13126266799\,\,95783933422# US (Chicago)\n\nJoin via audio:\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\nWebinar ID: 957 8393 3422\nInternational numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/azI9zGShx

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Tales & Scales: East Asian Dragons in Art\, Literature\, and Festive Traditions
DESCRIPTION:The dragon may be an imaginary animal\, but it is definitely a living tradition! For the final Third Thursday of this academic year\, the Asia Library will partner with U-M's Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies (LRCCS) for a special open house celebrating the East Asian dragon (C: 龍/龙\, J: 竜\, K: 용). This event is part of LRCCS's \"Dancing with the Dragon\" semester-long program (winter 2026) honoring the artistic creativity and collective spirit embodied by this fantastic creature.\n\nWhile dragons are commonly associated with political power in East Asian tradition\, we aim to present a more nuanced portrait through \"Tales & Scales.\" The dragon is an auspicious\, benevolent\, and sometimes playful figure — a stark contrast to its Western counterpart. It appears in countless folk tales and remains active in everyday life through art\, architecture\, and vibrant festivals. The dragon dance\, in particular\, continues to be a vital celebration that fuses music\, performing arts\, and craftsmanship.\n\nOur curated selection showcases the dragon's evolution across Chinese\, Japanese\, and Korean cultures. You can explore catalogs and literary works alongside original artworks that capture the dragon's iconic yet diverse forms. From ancient mythology to contemporary pop culture\, these materials highlight the dragon's enduring charm.\n\nThird Thursdays at the Library is a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here\, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of this month's Third Thursday locations — Asia Library\, Clark Library\, International Studies\, and the Special Collections Research Center — to win a poster!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Carrigan Lecture in Music Theory by Antares Boyle
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Music Theory presents a talk by guest scholar Antares (Tara) Boyle as part of the Carrigan Lecture Series. Boyle's abstract:\n\nThe music of Canadian composer Linda Catlin Smith (b. 1957) has garnered increasing critical acclaim and public recognition over the past few decades. Smith’s music is sometimes compared to that of Morton Feldman\, American minimalists\, or the Wandelweiser Collective\, but one feature distinguishing her style from these touchstones is her varied and often lush harmonic language. Smith writes that she is “drawn to an ambiguity of harmony and narrative.” Based on an extensive survey of her works\, I describe features of Smith’s pitch structuring practices that support this ambiguity and consider how they have informed reception of her works. I show that Smith’s compositions often feature stable or gradually shifting macroharmonies (Tymoczko 2011) of seven to nine pitch classes. Her preferred collections include not only the diatonic\, but modes of the acoustic scale and collections that add one or two pcs to these seven-note collections – macroharmonies that allow for quasi-diatonic chords and scale fragments without suggesting a typical major/minor tonality. I show how Smith often enhances the ambiguity of her novel tonalities by avoiding centricity\, clear bass lines\, or overtly tertian chords\, and demonstrate how subtle macroharmonic change structures larger form in certain works. At the local level\, Smith’s chords often relate by techniques of common-tone preservation\, fuzzy transposition/inversion (Quinn 2001)\, subset recombination\, or what I term “split transposition\,” while larger passages may be structured by strategic chord repetition. All of these techniques broadly allow for subtle exploratory variation without strong teleologic arcs or tension/release dynamics\, an “ambiguity of narrative” that may partially explain Smith’s reception as minimalism- or Wandelweiser-adjacent.\n\nGUEST BIO\n\nANTARES (TARA) BOYLE is Associate Professor of Music Theory at Portland State University. Her research on modernist\, experimental\, and improvised music has touched on European post-serial composers Salvatore Sciarrino and Harrison Birtwistle\, American jazz pioneers Wayne Shorter and Craig Taborn\, and contemporary multimedia performer Matana Roberts. Tara’s work has been published in the journals *Music Theory Spectrum*\, *Journal of Music Theory*\, *Perspectives of New Music*\, and *Music Theory Online*\, and is forthcoming in two edited volumes. Her scholarship has been awarded the Society for Music Theory’s Emerging Scholar Award\, the publication awards of the SMT Interest Groups in Jazz and Post-1945 Music Analysis\, and the SMT-40 Dissertation Fellowship.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LITP Public Lecture | What quantum physics teaches us about gravitational waves
DESCRIPTION:The discovery of gravitational waves from merging black holes marked the beginning of a new way of exploring the Universe. I will start by describing this breakthrough.  Planned next-generation gravitational-wave observatories will dramatically extend our reach\, enabling the detection of gravitational-wave signals from deep into the early cosmic history. The leap in experimental sensitivity demands a corresponding advance in theoretical precision. I will outline the main theoretical approaches underlying highly accurate waveform predictions\, which are essential for interpreting these observations. In the context of one of the standard approaches\, I will explain how powerful theoretical methods in quantum field theory\, used to understand elementary-particle collisions\, are being used to obtain state-of-the-art predictions of gravitational-wave emission in Einstein’s theory. Finally\, I will explain how this approach reveals a deep and unexpected unity between gravity and the other known forces.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nineteenth-Century Forum
DESCRIPTION:The rise of grief tech\, chatbots trained on the words\, voices\, and memories of lost loved ones\, offers the alluring chance to continue a relationship beyond death. Grief tech is new\, but that allure is much older\, dating at least back to nineteenth-century Spiritualism. Today’s grief tech is connected to its Victorian predecessor by a shared culture of grief - one that seemed to have disappeared. While current psychological practices try to move the bereaved toward closure\, Victorian mourning lingered in yearning. Bringing together Alice Stringfellow\, a Victorian mother who corresponded her dead son every night\, and Joshua Barbeau\, a present-day aspiring actor who created a chatbot version of his girlfriend after her death\, this talk explores how contemporary technologies might reveal the value (and risks) of using technology to redress the innately human problem of death. \n\nMegan Ward is a faculty member in the School of Writing\, Literature\, and Film and Director of the OSU Center for the Humanities and the Center for Material Cultures Research in Archaeology\, Art\, and Indigenous Studies. Her first book\, \"Seeming Human: Victorian Realist Characters and Artificial Intelligence\" (Ohio State UP\, 2018) offers a new theory of realist character through the realist novel’s unexpected afterlife: the intelligent machine. She is currently writing a book of essays\, \"Chatbots in Love\,\" which explores how the human desire for intimacy has shaped the creation of AI - and why that desire has been left unfulfilled. Her work on technology and realism has appeared or is forthcoming in edited collections such as \"AI Narratives\" and \"The Routledge Guide to Politics and Literature\" as well as journals such as \"New Literary History\" and \"Public Humanities.\"\n\nRSVP here: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/p/track/16399

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Jonathan Adler
DESCRIPTION:\n\nJonathan Adler’s brain is a cultural blender. His influences are vast. High\, low\, and everything in between\, from Isamu Noguchi’s organic Modern Sculptures to raunchy 1970s bumper stickers. The end result? A design brand—pottery\, furniture\, and more—which marries chic design with irreverent references. Adler has built an international reputation for his innovative approach to design\, which deftly combines humor\, impeccable style\, and skilled craftsmanship. In his talk\, Adler will shed light on how he synthesizes disparate inspirations into a varied yet distinctive voice and offer advice on how young designers and artists can develop their own signature styles in a chaotic visual landscape. \n\nAdler launched his namesake brand in 1993 when Barneys New York purchased his first pottery collection\, and by 1998 he had opened his flagship store in Soho. Since then\, Adler has expanded his studio into a global design company rooted in craftsmanship and playful luxury. Pottery remains at the heart of his work\, while the brand now encompasses furniture\, lighting\, décor\, and textiles—all united by his signature vision of “Modern American Glamour.” Through both his retail stores and collaborations worldwide\, Adler continues to champion bold design infused with wit\, optimism\, and artistry.\n\nAdler appeared as a judge for two seasons of Bravo’s Top Design and later served as a judge on HGTV’s Design Star: Next Gen. In 2019\, Adler received the Brand Heritage Award at The Fashion Group International’s annual Night of Stars gala in New York City and has received many accolades\, including the MAD Visionary Award from the Museum of Arts and Design in 2025.\n\nPresented in partnership with Design Core Detroit. \n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AI and Detroit’s Census Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis talk explores how artificial intelligence (AI) and geospatial data can support cities to better understand housing conditions and improve population estimates. In collaboration with the City of Detroit\, researchers at the University of Michigan are developing new tools that combine street-level imagery\, remote sensing data\, and AI models capable of interpreting visual information about buildings and neighborhoods. These tools can identify indicators such as roof damage\, structural decay\, or vegetation encroachment—signals that may suggest vacancy\, or blight.\n\nImportantly\, the goal is not simply to automate housing assessments. Instead\, the project adopts an approach in which municipal staff and communities guide\, interpret\, and validate AI-generated insights. By integrating technical innovation with existing city workflows\, the collaboration aims to support Detroit’s efforts to maintain accurate address records for the U.S. Census and improve housing data used for planning and investment decisions.\n\nThis work supports city efforts to improve housing and population data\, while also helping strengthen communities. When residents are undercounted\, cities risk losing tax revenue\, federal funding\, and even political representation. At the same time\, urban blight and rapidly changing housing conditions make it difficult to maintain accurate records of which homes are occupied. In cities with large numbers of vacant\, abandoned\, or deteriorating structures\, some inhabited homes may be mistakenly classified as vacant\, leading to inaccurate population estimates and challenges for housing policy and neighborhood revitalization efforts. More broadly\, this work highlights how partnerships between universities and local governments can support cities adopting AI tools responsibly while strengthening data-driven decision-making\n\nBiography:\nDr. Van Berkel is an assistant professor at The University of Michigan\, School for Environment and Sustainability. His research focuses on understanding land change at diverse scales\; the physical and psychological benefit of exposure to natural environments\; and how digital visualization of data can add new place-based knowledge in science and community decision-making. He has expertise in spatial statistics\, data science\, big data\, and machine learning. Van Berkel is currently a Co-PI on an NSF grant examining how online webtools can enable the public to co-create landscape designs for novel solutions to climate-change adaptation and mitigation in urban areas. He is also part of the NOAA funded GLISA project developing land change models to support knowledge discovery in municipalities throughout the Great Lake States. His work in AI focuses on deciphering complex sentiment from multimodal content\, such as understanding image content and analyzing captions and tags posted by users\, at scale. This research aims to provide objective measures of behavior and attitude for modeling diverse values and benefits of nature globally.\n\nJeffrey D. Morenoff is a professor of sociology\, a research professor at the Institute for Social Research (ISR)\, and a professor of public policy at the Ford School. He is also director of the ISR Population Studies Center. Professor Morenoff’s research interests include neighborhood environments\, inequality\, crime and criminal justice\, the social determinants of health\, racial/ethnic/immigrant disparities in health and antisocial behavior\, and methods for analyzing multilevel and spatial data.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CJS Winter 2026 Film Series | *School in the Crosshairs (ねらわれた学園)*
DESCRIPTION:Obayashi’s first groundbreaking idol picture is a dazzling mix of special effects and blue-screen artifice—a stylistic flair perfected in his debut *House\,* now utilized for the onset of an alien invasion. Ordinary schoolgirl Yuka’s new term comes to an odd start when she inexplicably stops an accident by using latent psychic powers. Troubled by her newfound abilities\, Yuka also senses a strange force starting to take hold of the school\, with students turning into mind-controlled fascists\, patrolling school halls\, stifling dissent\, and mandating the re-education of freethinkers. *School in the Crosshairs* is a cosmic overload of extraterrestrial tyrants\, preternatural powers\, and Obayashi’s uniquely clever filmmaking\, underlaid by an existential cry for free will.\n   \n   Attendance is free and open to the public\, and no prior registration is required. Seating is first-come\, first-served\, and doors open at 6:30 PM.\n   \n   Presented in Japanese with English subtitles.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Korean Performing Arts Initiative | Landfill: Listening Party
DESCRIPTION:The album Landfill shares the artist Sunhong Kim's personal journey with the p'iri\, a Korean double-reed bamboo wind instrument. The artist first learned to play the instrument in a public middle school orchestra\, which was launched using concessions to the community after protests against a local landfill expansion. Although it took nearly a week just to produce a sound from the instrument's double reed\, the p'iri became the artist's life purpose and led them to study in Seoul. By embracing this origin story\, the debut album is meant as a gift for listeners who are unfamiliar with the p'iri. The music maps out the artist's personal progression with the instrument\, beginning with simple\, easy-listening versions of the Korean folksong Arirang from five different regions. The album then transitions to Sangnyeongsan puri\, a highly challenging solo piece requiring immense breath control that the artist once played at the final round of a national competition. Finally\, the music ventures into new territory\, pushing the p'iri beyond its traditional acoustic boundaries through the use of electronic mediation.\n   \n   The Landfill listening party at the Cluster Museum is a community art event introducing the p'iri\, a Korean bamboo wind instrument. Following opening remarks by ethnomusicologists Dr. Christi-Anne Castro and Dr. Hilary Finchum\, alongside Asian American composer Dr. Julie Zhu and an interdisciplinary artist Chien-An Yuan\, the event will feature live performances of the Korean folksong \"Arirang\" paired with recorded tracks from the p'iri musician/ethnomusicologist Sunhong Kim's debut album on the 1473 label. An interactive Q&A following the listening will allow guests to talk directly with the artist about her personal path and musical progression with the instrument.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us atoutreachkorea@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flyways
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration\, political exile\, queerness\, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Pollination Event Biotechnology: Nature-Inspired Innovation
DESCRIPTION:When researchers studied Gila monster venom\, they weren’t envisioning GLP-1 drugs or a multi-billion dollar sector improving the lives of hundreds of millions globally. Nature-inspired innovations have created transformative societal and economic impact\, and today\, advances in biotechnology hold potential for sectors ranging from energy and pharmaceuticals to materials science\, chemicals\, and manufacturing. Building on the roots of biotechnology to advance synthetic biology\, scientists modified yeast with genes from the wormwood plant to mass produce the lifesaving malaria drug artemisinin\, transforming a scarce natural remedy into an accessible global health solution. Advancements like the“reprogramming” of organisms to tackle challenges like breaking down waste streams\, and the use of microorganisms and enzymes to create bio-based products\, demonstrate the potential for moving these biotechnological breakthroughs from basic science to application.\n\nDesigned to spark novel ideas and scientific collaborations\, Bold Challenges’ Pollination events convene faculty from across campuses to share their work and uncover potential new interdisciplinary research directions\, laying the groundwork for competitive research projects. Join the Bold Challenges team in imagining a future built on self-healing concrete\, synthetic spider silk proteins stronger than Kevlar\, adaptive camouflage\, shape-memory medical devices and novel fuel sources that could help extend the life of our infrastructure\, strengthen human and planetary health\, improve energy efficiency and bolster national security.\n\nThe event will be held in the Vandenberg Room in the Michigan League on Friday\, April 17\, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. This is an in-person event with no hybrid option available. Light breakfast and boxed lunches will be provided. Please register by April 3. Participants will be eligible to apply for $10\,000 in seed funding from Bold Challenges.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:The Michigan Model for Siting Renewable Energy: Policy\, Implementation\, and Impact
DESCRIPTION:The Michigan Model for Siting Renewable Energy: Policy\, Implementation\, and Impacts will examine how renewable energy siting policy moves from concept to practice\, using Michigan’s experience as a case study with national relevance. The event will be emceed by Sarah Mills\, director of the University of Michigan’s Center for EmPowering Communities and associate professor of practice at U-M’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n\nThe symposium will open with Nelson Falkenburg from Clean Tomorrow providing a national perspective on renewable energy siting\, exploring why siting has become a central challenge in the clean energy transition\, and how state and local policies are shaping what gets built across the country. This session will situate Michigan’s experience within broader political\, regulatory\, and community dynamics influencing renewable energy deployment nationwide.\n\nThe focus will then shift to Michigan\, with Dan Scripps\, chair of the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC)\, taking us back to the Fall of 2023\, describing the origins of the Michigan model in Public Act 233 of 2023 (PA 233). He will talk about what prompted the move to reform the state’s siting laws\, and what priorities shaped the law that emerged.  \n\nMadeleine Krol from UM’s Center for EmPowering Communities will then outline in detail the mechanics of the Michigan model\, describing the three primary permitting pathways for large-scale projects in the state. She will also discuss how the Renewables Ready Communities Award\, which provides a financial incentive to local governments that permit projects locally\, is an integral part of the Michigan model. \n\nThe symposium will conclude with a panel discussion featuring Sarah Mullkoff (Michigan Public Service Commission)\, Laura Sherman (Michigan Energy Innovation Business Council)\, and Catherine Kaufman (Bauckham\, Thall\, Seeber\, Kaufman & Koches PC)\, leaders from varied viewpoints who were each influential in shaping the implementation of PA 233. Moderator Liesl Clark from UM’s School for Environment and Sustainability will ask the panel to reflect on how their expectations in the lead-up to the passage of PA 233 compare with their on-the-ground experiences in its implementation. Panelists will also consider lessons learned to date and what Michigan’s experience suggests for future renewable energy siting efforts.\n\nTogether\, the program is designed to inform discussion and support a clearer understanding of what effective renewable energy siting looks like in practice.\n\nThis event is presented by Taubman College Urban and Regional Planning\, the Center for EmPowering Communities\, and Taubman College Climate Futures.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Bookworm #90- Author Conversation with Don James McLaughlin\, \"Phobia and American Literature\, 1705–1937: A Therapeutic History\"
DESCRIPTION:Panelists and featured guests discuss history topics with Clements staff in this webinar series. In this conversation\, author Don James McLaughlin explores how phobia — first tied to diseases like hydrophobia (rabies) — became a flexible suffix attached to various fears and social concerns\, shaping political\, medical\, and aesthetic thought from the colonial period through the early 20th century.\n\nMcLaughlin traces the emergence and evolution of phobia as a concept in American culture long before it became established in modern psychology. McLaughlin challenges the idea that phobia only gained prominence with late-19th-century psychiatry\, showing instead that the term’s roots extend back to early American literary and medical discourses.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Going for Broker? Intermediation in Health Insurance Markets
DESCRIPTION:This paper studies how insurance brokers affect product choices\, premiums\, and welfare in the employer-sponsored insurance market. We compile a novel database of contracting relationships among employers\, brokers\, and insurers in New York State. Exploiting variations in commission schedules\, we document two market distortions: First\, brokers exhibit traditional agency frictions\, steering employers towards more financially lucrative products. Second\, commission levels affect ex-ante insurer-broker networks and\, in turn\, insurers' competitive pressure\, leading to anti-competitive distortions. We develop and estimate a structural model of employer insurance demand\, insurer pricing\, and formation of broker-insurer contracting networks. We use the model to study a commission-cap counterfactual. A one-percentage-point cap reduces broker-induced steering and raises employer surplus by 3\%\, but the resulting reduction in insurer competition lowers surplus by over 6\%\, yielding a net decline of about 3\%. We also explore the impacts of fiduciary duties and network regulations for insurance brokers.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Yuting Wei\, Associate Professor\, Department of Statistics & Data Science\, University of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:The score-based diffusion models have become a cornerstone of modern generative AI. While recent works aim to develop sharp convergence guarantees\, the iteration complexity of existing analyses typically scales with the ambient data dimension $d$ of the target distribution\, leading to overly conservative theory that fails to explain its practical efficiency. This motivates us to understand how diffusion models can achieve sampling speed-ups through automatic exploitation of intrinsic low dimensionality of data for both continuous and discrete distributions.  \n\nThis talk explores two key scenarios: (1) For a broad class of continous distributions with intrinsic dimension $k$\, we show that the iteration complexity of the denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM) scales nearly linearly with $k$\, which is optimal under the KL divergence metric\; (2) For masking discrete diffusions\, under a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) formulation\, we introduce a modified $\tau$-leaping sampler whose convergence rate is governed by an intrinsic information-theoretic quantity\, termed the \emph{effective total correlation}\, which is upper bounded by $d \log S$ (with $S$ the vocabulary size) but can be sublinear or even constant for structured discrete distributions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Weak Gravitational Lensing Cosmology with the Roman Space Telescope High Latitude Imaging Survey
DESCRIPTION:NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is currently scheduled for launch in September 2026. Its High Latitude Imaging Survey (HLIS) will provide powerful tests of cosmological models through sensitive measurements of cosmic shear\, galaxy-galaxy lensing (GGL)\, and galaxy clustering. As a member of the Roman HLIS Cosmology Project Infrastructure Team (PIT)\, my work spans both Shear & Clustering Measurement (SCM) and Cosmological Parameter Inference Pipeline (CPIP). In this talk\, I will mainly talk about our Fisher forecasts of cosmological parameter constraints from combinations of the three probes mentioned above\, carried out as part of the HLIS PIT's Data Challenge 1 (DC1). We find good agreement between Fisher analysis and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis of the DC1 baseline data vector\, and we exploit the flexibility of Fisher analysis to investigate varied priors on cosmological parameters and on nuisance parameters describing unknown biases in photometric redshifts or shear measurements. I will also talk about my work on optimal reconstruction of Roman images (which is actually the most essential part of my current research). As an incoming postdoc at UMich\, I look forward to learning more about DESI (among other things) in the next few years.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | Words as Weapons: British Black Propaganda and Psychological Warfare in Indonesia\, 1963–66
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. 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. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/w9P17\n\nFollowing nearly a decade of failed covert operations targeting Indonesia\, the Central Intelligence Agency turned to allies across the Atlantic in the mid-1960s to assist with undermining the government in Jakarta. During this period\, the Information Research Department (IRD)\, the British covert propaganda department hidden deep within the Foreign Office\, established a special unit in Singapore innocuously named the Southeast Asia Monitoring Unit (SEAMU) to spearhead a disinformation campaign to destabilize Indonesia in hopes of ushering in a more friendly regime in Jakarta and putting a premature end to Konfronstasi – Indonesia’s low-level border war waged against Malaysia. With the collaboration of the American\, Australian\, and Malaysian governments\, the British psychological warfare campaign not only flooded the Indonesian market with black propaganda leaflets and radio broadcasts\, but deftly manipulated the international news circuit to spread Indonesian Army propaganda across the globe to help provide legitimacy to Army claims and help mollify international opinion of the mass murder of up to a million nominally leftist Indonesian citizens.\n   \n   Chris Hulshof is a historian of empire\, covert operations\, and international power projection in Southeast Asia during the twentieth century. His work explores how the post–World War II world order emerged not through unilateral Western design but through contested\, multilinear interactions among U.S. agents\, European interlocutors\, and Southeast Asian political elites\, with a focus on how furtive diplomacy\, militarism\, and trans-imperial entanglements shaped local independence movements and global structures of power. His work has been featured in both academic publications such as the Journal of Cold War Studies\, Diplomacy & Statecraft\, and Empire Competitions and public-facing outlets such as Floresa\, Passport\, and Justice in Translation. Additionally\, Chris serves as the Director of Community Engagement with the Graduate Education in Southeast Asia (GETSEA) consortium and a Council Member and Chair of the Graduate Student Committee of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR).\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Flash Talk | In His Majesty’s Secret Service
DESCRIPTION:In addition to the renowned fictional archaeologist-spy Indiana Jones\, the connection between archaeology and espionage is well-founded throughout the 20th century in real figures like Gertrude Bell and John Caskey. But “the links between archaeology and espionage aren’t limited to the twentieth century\,” writes Jarrett Lobel in the November/December 2025 issue of *Archaeology* magazine. “The professions are also linked in the tablets of ancient Mesopotamia”—and especially in Old Babylonian-period examples detailing the art of spying\, extensive networks of intermediaries\, and clandestine exchanges. \n\nAt this Flash Talk\, hear from Sergio Alivernini\, an Assyriologist at the Oriental Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences\, as he discusses the politics\, intrigue\, and espionage found in tablets originating from the Mesopotamian Kingdom of Mari (ca. 2900–1762 BCE).\n\nTo register for this Flash Talk\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/YLa4fXgc6redYExFA.

Lastly\, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice. \n\n*Why Meditate?*\n\nWhile physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape\, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically\, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony. \n\n*Please take Learn to Meditate session if you are new to the practice.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar> Tales of algae: from fundamental discovery to application
DESCRIPTION:Although Chlamydomonas is the most well-known “model” organism\, other green algae present interesting physiologies for investigation or offer experimental advantages for research. In addition to the Chlamydomonas genome\, the group has assembled genomes for Dunaliella spp.\, Chromochloris zofingiensis and Auxenochlorella protothecoides. I will present work on the mechanism of translation of nucleus-encoded bicistronic mRNAs\, structural analysis of photosystem I from Fe-deficient Dunaliella spp. and synthetic biology in Auxenochlorella to generate a complex bioproduct. These stories exemplify the contributions to basic and applied research of studies using simple unicellular organisms.\n\nHost: Libo Shan
