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.

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. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

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

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

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

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

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

Unlike 3D counterparts\, layered magnets can be easily and rapidly exfoliated to yield ultra-thin magnets\, providing unique opportunities for both fundamental physics and new technologies. Furthermore\, these materials enable unprecedented experimental access to the ground states\, fundamental excitations\, and magnon dynamics\, as they are highly susceptible to external stimuli. In this talk\, I will present and discuss our recent findings in tuning the magnetic properties of quasi-2D layered van der Waals quantum magnets by intercalation\, photoexcitation\, proton irradiation\, and by the application of pressure. If time permits\, I will briefly discuss our recent efforts in solving the problems related to energy materials by employing magnetometry and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.

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:84303-21621576@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:20250422T102015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250422T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250422T120000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Winter '25 Coaching Corner Workshops DESCRIPTION:Coaching Corner workshops are for students connected with Student Accessibility & Accommodation Services (SAAS).

We introduce a model of quick-fixing. To study it empirically\, we field a novel survey that measures households’ consumption policy functions in response to income shocks. Almost 70% of households follow one of four simple quick-fixes that fully consume or fully save out of small shocks\, but they abruptly adjust their behavior for large shocks. This behavior accounts for almost half of the cross-sectional variance in marginal propensities to consume\, but is poorly predicted by other demographic and economic information. In an incomplete-markets model calibrated to match our evidence\, we find that quick-fixing is near-rational: the average opportunity cost of quick-fixing is only $17 per quarter. Yet\, this small\, empirically realistic deviation from the rational model significantly alters aggregate consumption responses to income shocks of varying sizes.

Nutritional Imperialism: How Science Turned Difference into Sickness in China DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Smith will argue that starting in the early twentieth century\, the acolytes of a new discipline called nutrition science began to research Chinese bodies and diets in ways that made them appear to be inherently deficient and even pathological. Seeking to explain the unequal power relations that underlay the imperialist world order\, both foreign and some Chinese scientists blamed the Chinese nation’s political weakness and poor health on bad food choices. Although the age of formal empires is past\, the traces of what she calls nutritional imperialism persist.\n \n Hilary A. Smith is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Denver. She writes about the history of science and medicine in China. She is the author of *Forgotten Disease: Illnesses Transformed in Chinese Medicine *(Stanford\, 2017) and is currently finishing a book about nutritional imperialism.

This method also shows significant promise in addressing the global challenge of remediating per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. Viable electrocatalytic processes must use nonprecious materials\, operate in aqueous environments\, consume minimal energy\, and effectively eliminate harmful chemicals\, necessitating a deep understanding of mechanisms and the strategic design of nanocatalysts with controlled properties.\n\nOur research employs pulsed laser in liquids synthesis to develop nanocatalysts with precise surface chemistries\, facilitating a quantitative understanding of electrocatalytic processes\, especially within the electrode microenvironment. We have demonstrated that laser-made earth-abundant mixed-metal nanocatalysts on high-surface-area carbon supports can selectively electrooxidize toluene to benzyl alcohol with high activity. Additionally\, we achieved complete defluorination of various PFAS in aqueous electrolytes using laser-synthesized bimetallic nanocatalysts.\n\nThe unifying theme of our group is to advance the design and fabrication of nanocatalysts for the electrocatalytic generation of reactive species from water\, aimed at sustainable applications. This work is based on a detailed atomistic understanding of catalyst materials\, electrode microenvironments\, and electrocatalytic mechanisms\, with the ultimate goal of promoting environmentally friendly and scalable solutions for chemical manufacturing and water remediation.

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

Through 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.

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.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

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

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:107870-21818098@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:20250410T091123 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250423T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250423T130000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Dissertation Defense: Hodge Theoretic Singularities and Hodge Theoretic Aspects of Toric Varieties DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nDu Bois and rational singularities are two classes of singularities that show up in some of the most fundamental topics in algebraic geometry\, such as the Minimal Model Program\, and moduli theory. Over the last few years\, there has been a lot of interest in their natural higher analogues\, called k-Du Bois and k-rational singularities. These singularities have been extensively studied in the case of local complete intersection (lci) varieties but not much is known outside the lci case. In this thesis\, we prove some of the first results in this field beyond the lci setting\, with the main theorem being a higher analogue of a classical result of Kovács\, i.e. we prove that the class of varieties with k-Du Bois singularities contains the class of varieties with k-rational singularities\, which extends prior results of Mustaţă-Popa and Friedman-Laza in the lci setting.\n\nThe second part of the thesis concerns toric varieties\, which are a well studied class of algebraic varieties admitting alternate descriptions in terms of convex geometric objects in \mathbb{R}^n. We prove new local vanishing results on toric varieties and build on the techniques therein to give a precise formula relating the graded de Rham complex of the intersection cohomology Hodge module \IC^H_X to the stalks of the intersection cohomology perverse sheaf \IC_X\, when X is a toric variety.

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:84303-21621577@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:20250423T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250423T170000 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).

In collaboration with Dr. Liz DeBetta and Prof. RAsheda Young (Fulbright-Hays Fellow)\, the Diversity Scholars Network presents a dynamic two-part webinar engaging with the power of autoethnography as a practice of resistance and liberation.\n\nThis event brings together our presenters to explore how autoethnography\, counterstory\, and decolonial pedagogy disrupt oppressive structures in higher education. Drawing from Dr. DeBetta’s forthcoming book chapter\, Young’s work on how Ubuntu — \"I am because you are\" — shapes teaching practices that center radical love\, humanity\, and linguistic justice\, this session examines how storytelling\, embodied pedagogy\, and linguistic justice serve as tools for liberation. Rooted in Black feminist thought and decolonial frameworks\, this discussion challenges the erasure of marginalized voices and reimagines the classroom as a site of resistance and transformation.\n\nPart I – April 22: Radical Love\, Autoethnography\, and Decolonial Pedagogies — How can educators employ language and storytelling to resist colonial paradigms in higher education?​ Presentation by Professor RAsheda Young\n\nModerator:\n\nKeenan Colquitt\, Jr.\, Ph.D. - Program Manager for Diversity Scholar Engagement\n\nPanelist:\n\nProfessor RAsheda Young\, Assistant Teaching Professor for the Writing Program at Rutgers University\n\nPart II – April 23: Autoethnography and the Classroom as a Site of Resistance — How can feminist educators disrupt colonial paradigms and create inclusive\, anti-oppressive learning spaces?

For any probability measure $\mu$ on the space of $C^2$ diffeomorphisms on $M$\, and verifying certain conditions (\"hyperbolicity\" and \"almost volume preserving\")\, we show that any $\mu$-stationary SRB measure is absolutely continuous with respect to the ambient Haar measure.

BUCHA directed by Stanislav Tiunov DESCRIPTION:*BUCHA* is based on the true story of an unlikely hero and refugee from Kazakhstan who\, in the spring of 2022\, risked his life to save hundreds of Ukrainians in Bucha and other cities and towns occupied by Russian troops. Konstantin Gudauskas\, a Lithuanian Jew born in Kazakhstan\, is living in Bucha where he was granted asylum by Ukraine. After the Russian invasion begins on February 24th\, 2022\, Konstantin is able to travel freely to the occupied territories and evacuate civilians thanks to his Kazakhstani passport. Over the following months\, he saves more than 200 people by leading them to safety and freedom\, and he observes first-hand the horrors of war and atrocities of the Russian occupation. Among those rescued by Konstantin is the famous Ukrainian composer Igor Poklad. Throughout this time\, he is advised and guided by Gaide Rizaeva\, a Crimean Tatar and employee of the GUR (Main Intelligence Directorate)\, who was twice held captive by Russian separatists and was on death row before escaping. She helps Konstantin\, but when he stops listening to her advice\, tragedy strikes.\n \n Trailer https://vimeo.com/1001322770/23ae970227\n \n Free and open to the public.

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.

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:84303-21621578@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:20250429T181504 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250424T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250424T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Perspective{s}: The 2025 IP Exhibition DESCRIPTION:All Stamps seniors who are enrolled in the year-long Integrative Project course participate in the IP Exhibition held each spring\, which is the culmination of their thesis work.

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).

Letting the production process mature for a longer period of time increases labor productivity\, but it comes at the cost of higher working capital needs for firms. Under autarky\, countries with lower interest rates feature longer production processes\, higher labor productivity\, and higher wages. In a free trade equilibrium\, countries with lower interest rates specialize in relatively ‘time intensive’ stages in global value chains (GVCs). Yet\, if free trade brings about interest rate equalization\, wages are also equalized and the pattern of trade is instead shaped by capital intensity and capital abundance\, regardless of the time intensity of the various stages. Reductions in trade costs lead to patterns of specialization associated with higher amounts of vertical specialization in world trade. A worldwide decline in interest rates similarly fosters an increase in the share of GVC trade in world trade. The framework also sheds light on the role of trade credit and trade finance in shaping international specialization.

DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 24\, 2025 at 12:00-1:30pm ET\n12:00-1:00 Seminar\n1:00-1:30 Questions and Collaboration\n\nRoom 6050\, ISR Thompson\n\nRSVP to attend\n\nAbstract\nDevelopmental differences between children growing up in poverty and their higher-income peers are frequently reported. However\, the extent to which such differences are caused by differences in family income is unclear. To study the causal role of income on children’s development\, the Baby’s First Years randomized control trial provided families with monthly unconditional cash transfers. One thousand racially and ethnically diverse mothers with incomes below the U.S. federal poverty line were recruited from postpartum wards in 2018-19\, and randomized to receive either $333/month or $20/month for the first several years of their children’s lives. After the first four years of the intervention (n=891)\, and stellar field work by SRC\, we find xxx impacts of the cash transfers on four preregistered primary outcomes (language\, executive function\, social-emotional problems\, and high-frequency brain activity) and yyy impacts on three secondary outcomes (visual processing/spatial perception\, pre-literacy\, maternal reports of developmental diagnoses). At the seminar we will fill in the blanks!\n\nBiography\nGreg Duncan is Distinguished Professor in the School of Education at the University of California\, Irvine. He spent the first 25 years of his career at the University of Michigan working on and ultimately directing the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) data collection project. Duncan’s recent work has focused on estimating the role of school-entry skills and behaviors on later school achievement and attainment and the effects of increasing income inequality on schools and children’s life chances. He is part of a team conducting the Baby’s First Years project – a random-assignment trial assessing impacts of income supplements on the cognitive and socioemotional development of infants born to poor mothers in four diverse U.S. communities. Duncan was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2010 and has recently chaired two NAS consensus panels on child poverty.

Our goal with this event is to address these critical and timely issues with leading thinkers in their respective fields.\n\nWe hope that this will be the first of many events to dive deeper into collaborative computational humanities methods with our research community.\n\nPanels:\nMultilingual Digital Humanities:\n\nAndrew Janco and Quinn Dombrowski have both\, individually and together\, made significant contributions to the expanding field of multilingual digital humanities. They were part of the educational initiative “New Languages for NLP: Building Linguistic Diversity in the Digital Humanities\,” funded by a National Endowment for Humanities Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities grant. This grant enabled scholars to create high-quality linguistic data and train models for under-resourced\, domain-specific\, and on eleven historical languages: Ottoman Turkish\, Tigrinya\, Kanbun\, Efik\, 19th c. Russian\, Classical Arabic\, Old Chinese\, Yoruba\, Quechua\, Yiddish and Kanada. In this panel\, they will talk about what they’ve accomplished\, the challenges they’ve faced\, and future directions for multilingual digital humanities.\n\nHumanities and Data Work:\n\nMeredith Martin and Zoe LeBlanc will delve into their forthcoming book\, Data Work in the Humanities (Princeton University Press). This work is a result of their long-running collaboration and features over 25 interviews with other humanists who work with data. This panel will explore how our technologically mediated environment has reshaped traditional academic models\, emphasizing the need to move beyond the notion of the autonomous scholar. Instead\, they argue for recognizing the interconnectedness of critical sources and the necessity of collaboration\, interdisciplinarity\, and collectivity within the humanities research ecosystem. They will address the challenges of establishing common data workflows in a field where research practices and assumptions about scholarship and data are not widely discussed.\n\nPanelists’ bios:\n\nAndrew Janco is the digital scholarship specialist at Princeton University.   He has experience using natural language processing and computer vision to analyze large historical document collections and has a passion for inquiry-driven and community-engaged digital projects. Andy is the co-director of “New Languages for NLP: Building Linguistic Diversity in the Digital Humanities\,” an NEH-funded Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities. He is also the lead developer working on a digital archive and research application with the Groupo de Apoyo Mutuo\, Guatemala’s oldest human rights organization. Andy received his PhD in Russian history from the University of Chicago and a master’s in library and information science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.\n\nQuinn Dombrowski (non-binary\, any pronouns are fine) is the Academic Technology Specialist in the Division of Literatures\, Cultures\, and Languages\, and in the Library\, at Stanford University. Prior to coming to Stanford in 2018\, Quinn’s many DH adventures included supporting the high-performance computing cluster at UC Berkeley\, running the DiRT tool directory with support from the Mellon Foundation\, writing books on Drupal for Humanists and University of Chicago library graffiti\, and working on the program staff of Project Bamboo\, a failed digital humanities cyberinfrastructure initiative. Since coming to Stanford\, Quinn has supported numerous non-English DH projects\, taught courses on non-English DH\, developed a tabletop roleplaying game to teach DH project management\, explored trends in multilingual Harry Potter fanfic\, and started the Data-Sitters Club\, a feminist DH pedagogy and research group focused on Ann M. Martin’s 90’s girls series “The Baby-Sitters Club.” Quinn is currently co-VP of the Association for Computers and the Humanities along with Roopika Risam\, and advocates for better support for DH in languages other than English. Quinn has a BA/MA in Slavic Linguistics from the University of Chicago\, and an MLIS from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.\n\nMeredith Martin is the founder and faculty director of the Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton University\, where she has also been a professor in the English department since 2006. Her book The Rise and Fall of Meter: Poetry and English National Culture 1860-1930 won the MLA First Book Prize and the Brooks-Warren Prize for Literary Criticism and was co-winner of the Sonya Rudikoff Prize. Her second book\, Poetry’s Data: Digital Humanities and the Future of Historical Prosody\, was just published by Princeton University Press\, as is Data Work in the Humanities\, with Professor Zoe LeBlanc. With Mary Naydan\, she oversees the Princeton Prosody Archive\, a full-text searchable database of a variety of textual materials about the study of poetry and pronunciation in English from the 16th-century to the current copyright year. Martin received her BA from Smith College and her MA and Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.\n\nZoe LeBlanc joined the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois as an assistant professor in August 2021. Before coming to Illinois\, she served as a postdoctoral associate and Weld Fellow at the Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton University. LeBlanc previously worked as a digital humanities developer at the Scholars’ Lab at the University of Virginia (UVA)\, where she was responsible for building web applications for mapping and data visualization in the humanities. At UVA and Princeton\, she has taught a wide range of topics\, including the history of digital humanities and the foundations of humanities data analysis. LeBlanc currently serves on the editorial board of the Programming Historian and the executive committee of the Association for Computers and the Humanities.

It considers the effects of covariates on the entire outcome distribution rather than solely on the mean. I adopt a semiparametric approach by considering two-way unit-specific effects. Thus\, I extend the standard distribution regression approach to a network setting by estimating multiple binary choice models with two-way fixed effects for different thresholds of the distribution. I employ a conditional maximum-likelihood approach that differences out the unit-specific effects\, avoiding the incidental parameter problem. This method yields consistent point estimates that converge at a parametric rate and remain asymptotically unbiased in the tails of the outcome distribution\, where the underlying network can be seen as sparse. Monte Carlo simulations validate these findings for single cut-off points and the overall outcome distribution. The empirical application focuses on gravity equations for bilateral trade\, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach in cases where the outcome variable is bounded below at zero.

Here\, we highlight recent work on the vapor-phase synthetic control of Si nanowires\, photoelectrochemical interfaces\, and hybrid perovskite materials. Together\, these processes provide platforms to design chemically encoded\, nanostructured systems for applications ranging from solar water splitting to photovoltaic solar cells. First\, we show how abrupt transitions between p-type\, intrinsic\, and n-type silicon allow nanowire p-i-n superlattices to be synthesized that behave as multijunction photovoltaic devices with extraordinarily large photovoltages. Using spatio-selective photoelectrochemical deposition of hydrogen and oxygen-evolving co-catalysts\, water splitting particle suspensions are demonstrated. Second\, we show how planar silicon interfaces can be functionalized with nanoscale oxide and graphene layers\, facilitating the integration of molecular catalysts for solar-driven CO2 reduction. Finally\, we demonstrate the first metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) growth of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3). Use of separate vapor precursors for the lead\, organic\, and halide components allows the tuning of reaction conditions to grow the material directly with high purity. Overall\, the projects highlight the precise and tunable control of material composition\, morphology\, and functionality provided by the vapor phase.

With just an image of a face\, a person can be depicted in intimate contexts without their permission\, or even awareness. Victims of non-consensual intimate content (NCIM) experience extreme loss of privacy\, dignity\, and safety. Victims can range from celebrities to politicians to everyday citizens to children. NCIM online is not a new problem – people’s bodies and likeness have been captured\, altered\, and distributed online without their permission since the early days of the Internet. However\, the scale and scope enabled by generative AI has dramatically changed the landscape of sexual harms. We will examine the legal and ethical concerns posed by non-consensual intimate content and explore the regulatory and technological measures needed to address it. We will also provide practical recommendations for requesting takedown of non-consensual content after it happens.\n\nBiography\nSarita Schoenebeck is a Professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan.

This event is open to all adults who have an interest in fiction\, mythology\, and the ancient world. Learn more about this program at https://myumi.ch/Drn1Q. \n\nThis month\, we are reading Jennifer Saint’s *Hera* (2024): “Traditionally portrayed as a jealous wife\, a wicked stepmother\, and a victim-blaming instrument of the patriarchy\, Hera is ripe for a retelling that shows her as a powerful queen―ruthless when she needs to be\, but also compassionate\, strategic\, and ambitious. With Hera\, beloved and bestselling author Jennifer Saint delivers another epic and enthralling reimagining of a Greek heroine we only thought we knew.”\n\nJoin us in Room 124 of Newberry Hall for an evening of community and conversation led by Amanda Kubic\, PhD candidate in the University of Michigan’s Department of Comparative Literature. Light refreshments will be served. \n\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.
