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

The hand-pulled prints in the set\, which has never been exhibited before\, span media from colorful laser cut woodblock prints\, to lithography\, to copper plate etching. The newly formed Stamps Student-led Exhibitions Committee (SEC) will curate and rotate selections of these prints in alignment with the portfolio’s theme—where time and effort transform raw potential.

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.

Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818090@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T200000 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:84303-21621569@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250413T181524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Women's Tennis vs Washington DESCRIPTION:Women's Tennis vs Washington UID:134239-21874042@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134239 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Women's Tennis LOCATION:Varsity Tennis Bldg CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

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

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

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n \n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79).

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

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

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

The conversation will showcase how Indigenous knowledge has and will continue to shape data worlds by bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives on emerging technologies—ranging from computer science\, artificial intelligence\, social media\, online activism\, the work of infrastructure and circuit building\, and beyond. By centering Indigenous voices\, the discussion aims to create transformative visions for a sustainable\, equitable\, and inclusive digital future while inviting speculative thinking about post-settler digital worlds.\n\nFree copies of Indigenous Currencies: Leaving Some for the Rest in the Digital Age by Ashley Cordes will be provided to first 50 attendees.\n\nMeet the Panelists\n\nMajerle Lister is a Diné student whose research interest ranges from Indigenous geography\, Native American Studies\, and Critical Agrarian Studies. Focusing on land regimes in the Navajo Nation\, he is interested in how land relations are shaped by development projects and historical Diné land relations and practices. His research explores the development discourses and practices within the Former Bennett Freeze Area in Western Navajo Nation.\n\nAshley Cordes (Coquille/KōKwel) is an Assistant Professor of Indigenous Media in ENVS and Data Science at the University of Oregon and a recent American Council of Learned Societies Fellow. Her research lies at the intersection of Indigenous science and technology studies\, digital media\, and environmental/place-based studies. She is interested in how Indigenous culture and technology producers leverage discursive\, technological\, and media forms of “digital Indigeneity” toward Tribal economic independence\, representational and data sovereignty\, Indigenous cultural revitalization\, and the resurgence of Indigenous knowledge systems. Her research in AI has been published in the Indigenous Protocols Artificial Intelligence position paper and her other works on representation\, digital humanities\, and Indigenous methods have been published in journals such as Cultural Studies >Critical Methodologies\, Journal of International and Intercultural Communication\, and Feminist Media Studies. She is the author of the book\, Indigenous Currencies: Leaving Some for the Rest in the Digital Age in production with MIT Press.\n\n\nMeet The Moderator\n\nLisa Nakamura is the Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor in the Department of American Culture\, and the founding Director of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Since 1994\, Nakamura has written books and articles on digital bodies\, race\, and gender in online environments\, on toxicity in video game culture\, and the many reasons that Internet research needs ethnic and gender studies.

The conversation will showcase how Indigenous knowledge has and will continue to shape data worlds by bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives on emerging technologies—ranging from computer science\, artificial intelligence\, social media\, online activism\, the work of infrastructure and circuit building\, and beyond. By centering Indigenous voices\, the discussion aims to create transformative visions for a sustainable\, equitable\, and inclusive digital future while inviting speculative thinking about post-settler digital worlds.Free copies of Indigenous Currencies: Leaving Some for the Rest in the Digital Age by Ashley Cordes will be provided to the first 50 attendees. All are welcome and we strongly encourage undergraduate and graduate students to attend. Advance registration is recommended:\nMeet the PanelistsMajerle Lister is a Diné student whose research interest ranges from Indigenous geography\, Native American Studies\, and Critical Agrarian Studies. Focusing on land regimes in the Navajo Nation\, he is interested in how land relations are shaped by development projects and historical Diné land relations and practices. His research explores the development discourses and practices within the Former Bennett Freeze Area in Western Navajo Nation.\nAshley Cordes (Coquille/KōKwel) is an Assistant Professor of Indigenous Media in ENVS and Data Science at the University of Oregon and a recent American Council of Learned Societies Fellow. Her research lies at the intersection of Indigenous science and technology studies\, digital media\, and environmental/place-based studies. She is interested in how Indigenous culture and technology producers leverage discursive\, technological\, and media forms of “digital Indigeneity” toward Tribal economic independence\, representational and data sovereignty\, Indigenous cultural revitalization\, and the resurgence of Indigenous knowledge systems. Her research in AI has been published in the Indigenous Protocols Artificial Intelligence position paper and her other works on representation\, digital humanities\, and Indigenous methods have been published in journals such as Cultural Studies >Critical Methodologies\, Journal of International and Intercultural Communication\, and Feminist Media Studies. She is the author of the book\, Indigenous Currencies: Leaving Some for the Rest in the Digital Age in production with MIT Press.\nMeet the ModeratorLisa Nakamura is the Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor in the Department of American Culture\, and the founding Director of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Since 1994\, Nakamura has written books and articles on digital bodies\, race\, and gender in online environments\, on toxicity in video game culture\, and the many reasons that Internet research needs ethnic and gender studies. These books include\, Race After the Internet (co-edited with Peter Chow-White\, Routledge\, 2011)\; Digitizing Race: Visual Cultures of the Internet (Minnesota\, 2007)\; Cybertypes: Race\, Ethnicity\, and Identity on the Internet (Routledge\, 2002)\; and Race in Cyberspace (co-edited with Beth Kolko and Gil Rodman\, Routledge\, 2000).

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

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

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

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

Foreign Assistance\, US National Security\, and the Case for Human Rights DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\n\nThis event will offer a timely and thought-provoking discussion on the implications of the suspension of U.S. foreign assistance\, with a particular focus on the nation’s role in supporting international human rights\, democracy\, and the rule of law. In light of recent decisions to terminate grants deemed not to serve core national interests\, we will explore why the U.S. has supported human rights and democracy efforts as a fundamental aspect of its foreign policy since the Carter Administration. What has changed in the U.S. perspective since then? We will also examine the Biden Administration's stance on expanding support in this area and ask: Is there a compelling case to be made that international protections for rights and the rule of law ultimately benefit the U.S.? Join us for a deep dive into these pressing questions shaping the future of U.S. foreign policy.\n\nFrom the Speaker’s Bio:\n\nBama Athreya\, Ph.D\, most recently served as Deputy Assistant Administrator in USAID’s Bureau for Inclusive Growth\, Partnerships and Innovation\, where she managed global portfolios related to gender equality\, child protection\, youth in development\, and ensuring the rights and inclusion of marginalized and underrepresented populations. She has been a senior leader in the public and nonprofit sectors. She has led interagency and multilateral engagement and represented the US government in delegations to the UN General Assembly\, Commission on the Status of Women\, G20 and COP28. She previously held an Economic Inequality Fellowship with Open Society Foundations focused on the digital economy and served as a senior advisor for gender\, equity and inclusion to Laudes Foundation. Past positions include a previous stint at USAID’s Center for Democracy\, Rights and Governance\, where she worked on new policy guidance and developed global programming to advance labor rights and women’s economic empowerment. She also spent several years leading human rights advocacy as the Executive Director of the International Labor Rights Forum. She has a longstanding affiliation with the University of Michigan. She has previously served on the Board of Advisors for the Erb Institute\, taught short courses as a visitor at Ford School\, and completed her.

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

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

The story is steadfastly held by pre-millennialist\, evangelical Christians who read the concept of the Rapture into biblical prophecy about the future of the living\, and the dead. The Rapture is prime material for popular mythmaking\, and Pippin will trace some of the occurrences in popular culture\, and how a Rapture theology plays out in contemporary politics.

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

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n \n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79).

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

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

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

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621570@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250219T145025 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250415T112000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250415T125000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Ideas Rents and Firm Growth with Timo Boppart\, Peter Klenow and Reiko Laski DESCRIPTION:Which firms drive aggregate growth? Price-earnings ratios differ markedly and persistently across publicly-listed firms. Large differences remain after netting out the impact of proxies for firm-specific discount factors\, and are highly correlated with actual and analyst forecasts of future earnings growth. The implication is that listed firms deviate from Gibrat’s Law\, under which expected growth rates are purported to be the same across firms. We find further that fast-growing firms are expected to see increases in their earnings relative to sales\, which we interpret as rents from ideas. We construct an endogenous growth model with persistence shocks to firm innovation step-sizes and calibrate it to match patterns in the data. The model implies that the fastest-growing firms – so-called Luttmer Rockets – are responsible for a much bigger share of aggregate growth than predicted under Gibrat’s Law.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n \n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79).

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

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621571@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250416T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250416T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

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

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