In this talk\, I will discuss exciton and exciton-polariton properties in two different 2D vdW semiconductors. In the first part\, I will report strongly coupled exciton-polaritons of an anisotropic 2D magnet\, CrSBr\, integrated with an anisotropic photonic crystal (PhC) cavity. In this system\, the spin\, atomic lattice\, and photonic lattices anisotropies are strongly correlated\, giving rise to exceptionally strong coupling between engineered anisotropic optical modes and anisotropic excitons in CrSBr and a highly tunable polariton polarization by tens of degrees by many means. In the second part\, I will discuss how the twist between two CrSBr monolayers leads to tunable exciton states and anisotropies. Cavity- and twist-tuning on 2D materials provide new opportunities for both fundamental understanding of quantum materials and photonic technology.\n\n\nDechen Zhang\nU-M Physics\n\nField Tunable BKT and Quantum Phase Transitions in Spin-1/2 Triangular Lattice Antiferromagnet\n\nQuantum magnetism is one of the most active fields for exploring exotic phases and phase transitions. The recently synthesized Na2BaCo(PO4)2 (NBCP) is an ideal material incarnation of the spin-1/2 easy axis triangular lattice antiferromagnet (TLAF). Experimental evidence shows that NBCP hosts the spin supersolid state with a giant magnetocaloric effect. It was also proposed that the applied magnetic field B can drive the system through Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) and other richer quantum phase transitions. However\, detecting these transitions is a huge challenge because they onset at extremely low-temperature T at around 60 mK\, and the measurement of the magnetic susceptibility of these transitions requires high sensitivity. With the help of our newly developed gradient force magnetometer in a dilution refrigerator\, we constructed the contour diagram of the magnetic susceptibility in the B-T phase diagram in temperatures as cold as 30 mK. These results provide a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of the several field-tunable quantum phase transitions and BKT melting of the spin supersolidity\, which are especially significant when their giant magnetocaloric effects highlight potential applications for sub-Kelvin refrigeration under concerns about global helium shortages.

State-of-the-art methods often rely on building efficient dynamics for probability measures. This talk examines the analysis and design of such dynamics\, drawing insights from and targeting applications in high-dimensional scientific computing. \n\nIn the first part\, we uncover and analyze a novel 'delocalization of bias' phenomenon in MCMC with Langevin dynamics. While sampling bias increases with dimensionality in full coordinates\, individual coordinates can exhibit nearly dimension-independent behavior. This finding suggests that the curse of dimensionality in sampling may be mitigated at the level of low-dimensional marginals. In the second part\, we propose a generative diffusion dynamics design for probabilistic forecasting\, focusing on benchmark applications in stochastically forced Navier-Stokes equations. We prove that a specific design of diffusion coefficients minimizes novel statistical errors at the level of path measures and yields Föllmer processes\, which also offer a Bayesian interpretation of the optimal design. We conclude with a real-data scientific application in black hole imaging\, where we combine generative diffusion dynamics with MCMC for rigorous posterior sampling. Overall\, the talk demonstrates how mathematical understanding and methodological design of high-dimensional sampling dynamics can synergize with insights and applications in scientific computing.

With the transition to electronic health systems\, growing collaborations among institutions\, and the rapid advancement of genome sequencing technologies\, health data has become more accessible than ever before. However\, the large-scale nature of health data presents unique challenges for statistics and data science in distilling\, integrating\, and generalizing knowledge\, due to its high dimensionality\, diverse modalities\, complex structures\, and more.\n\nIn this talk\, I will highlight several efforts I have undertaken in recent years to address these challenges using statistical\, probabilistic\, and AI-driven tools\, ranging from practical applications to the theoretical foundations of data science. First\, I will focus on the theoretically guaranteed learning of a comprehensive medical knowledge graph that integrates heterogeneous relationships from various sources by employing embedding-based neural networks combined with representation learning. Next\, I will discuss a method for harmonizing data across multiple institutions using graph neural networks (GNNs)\, along with a theoretical analysis of GNN performance in graph alignment tasks through random geometric graphs. Finally\, I will present a framework for unifying the representation of biomedical concepts and genetic markers by leveraging large language models (LLMs). Through these efforts\, I have developed an extensive toolbox for knowledge integration to better understand health-related outcomes and advance the use of biomedical data in clinical practice.\n\nhttps://www.suqil.com/ UID:129238-21862366@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129238 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250106T151557 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250114T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250114T190000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Winterfest Central Campus DESCRIPTION:Join us for our largest student org fair of the semester.

Love & Special Sauce DESCRIPTION:New Music!\n\n\n\"I've been in the game a long time\, but I've always considered myself a student\,\" says G. Love. \"Finishing this album with Keb Mo' felt like graduation.\"\n\n\nRecorded in Nashville with a slew of special guests including Robert Randolph\, Marcus King\, and Roosevelt Collier\, 'The Juice' is indeed diploma-worthy. Co-produced and co-written with GRAMMY-winning icon Keb Mo\,' it's an electrifying collection\, one that tips its cap to more than a century of blues greats even as it offers its own distinctly modern pop spin on the genre\, mixing programmed beats and hip-hop grooves with blistering guitar and sacred steel. G. Love's lyrics are both personal and political here\, artfully balancing his appreciation for the simple joys in life with his obligation to speak out for justice and equality\, and his performances are suitably riotous and rousing to match\, with infectious call-and-response hooks and funky sing-along choruses at every turn. Easy as it is to succumb to cynicism these days\, the songs on 'The Juice' refuse\, insisting instead on hope and determination in the face of doubt and despair.\n\n\n\"I've always tried to make music that's a force for positivity\,\" G. Love explains. \"It was important to me that this album be something that could empower the folks who are out there fighting the good fight every day. I wanted to make a rallying cry for empathy and unity.\"\n\n\nBorn Garrett Dutton in Philadelphia\, PA\, G. Love grew up equally enthralled with folk\, blues\, and rap\, devouring everything from Lead Belly and Run D.M.C. to John Hammond and the Beastie Boys. After migrating to Boston\, he and his band\, Special Sauce\, broke out in 1994 with their Gold-selling self-titled debut\, which earned widespread critical acclaim for its bold vision and adventurous production. Over the next twenty-five years\, G. Love would go on to release seven more similarly lauded studio studios albums with Special Sauce (plus four solo albums on his own)\, solidifying his place in music history as a genre-bending pioneer with a sound The New York Times described as \"a new and urgent hybrid\" and NPR called a \"musical melting pot.\" G. Love's magnetic stage presence\, meanwhile\, made him a fixture on festival lineups from Bonnaroo to Lollapalooza\, and his relentless appetite for tour and collaboration landed him on the road and in the studio with artists as diverse as Lucinda Williams\, Dave Matthews\, The Avett Brothers\, Jack Johnson\, and DJ Logic.\n\n\nG. Love is excited to offer the Pre-Show VIP option. G. Love’s Pre-Show Pop Off is an ALL REQUEST storytellers solo acoustic performance by G. Love and a one of a kind merch package. The pre-show pop off also includes early entry\, a Q&A and photo opportunity with G. Love\, and early access to the merch booth.

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.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

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:84303-21621493@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:20250130T063154 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250115T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250115T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Virtual Networking Event - Respiratory Therapist (Mankato\, MN) DESCRIPTION:Join Mayo Clinic Health System for a Respiratory Therapy Virtual Hiring Event! Are you interested in exploring a life-changing career as a Respiratory Therapist in Southwest Minnesota?  Currently offering a $10k sign on bonus and minimum of $6k relocation funds for those who qualify! Experienced and New Grad Respiratory Therapist are invited to interview with our hiring team at this upcoming event. *Please note the interview slots that are listed in Central Time Zone.  UID:130139-21865526@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130139 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250115T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250115T170000 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).

Investigative Journalism in the Baltics: Breaking the Kremlin's Operations in Estonia and Latvia DESCRIPTION:Despite the Baltic states of Estonia\, Latvia and Lithuania joining the European Union and NATO already 20 years ago\, Vladimir Putin has never let go of his imperial desire for Russia to regain control over the three small states to its West. The Kremlin has done this through covertly funding political parties in Estonia and Latvia\, setting up elaborate propaganda and disinformation networks\, hiring thugs to burn down museums and throw Molotov cocktails at military facilities\, arranging cyber-attacks against state institutions\, and increasing direct military presence at the Baltic countries’ borders. Award-winning investigative reporters Holger Roonemaa (Estonia) and Inga Springe (Latvia) have spent years revealing Russian hybrid war efforts to sow chaos in the Baltic countries.\n \n Is Putin’s goal to reconquer the U.S allies in North-Eastern Europe or to use the Baltic countries to prove the inefficacy of NATO’s collective defense? What are the Baltic lessons-learned to consider in the U.S? Roonemaa and Springe will discuss the Russian tactics in and against Estonia and Latvia\, as well as the methods to counter it.\n \n Holger Roonemaa is a 2024-25 Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan. He manages the investigative and fact-checking team at the daily news site Delfi Estonia. He is also an editor with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). He has covered money laundering\, corruption and evasion of sanctions\, as well as topics related to national security\, espionage and propaganda. In recent years\, the majority of his investigations have focused on Russian security threats in Baltic countries.\n \n Inga Spriņģe is an award-winning investigative journalist\, broadcaster\, lecturer\, and one of the two founders of The Baltic Center for Investigative Journalism Re:Baltica\, which is based in Latvia. Springe is a member of the major international investigative journalism networks the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. Her topics cover propaganda\, disinformation\, and social justice.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

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

Today\, more than 100 years later\, experimental control of certain physical systems described by quantum theory has led to a tantalizing pursuit. Can we build a computer that stores and acts on information encoded in the quantum mechanical wave function of a physical system? Can such a machine be made computationally useful? Could it be made general purpose? In this talk\, I will discuss the physics advances that have created platforms for the pursuit of a quantum computer\, along with key areas of research that can unlock new capabilities for future machines. In particular\, I will describe the need for multi-platform integration\; the intrinsic role of quantum communication\; and the need for advances in quantum computer architecture.

For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or in an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation. If you areinterested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers!

However\, existing analyses of the algorithm for strongly log-concave distributions suggest that\, as the dimension $d$ of the problem increases\, the number of iterations required to ensure convergence within a desired error in the $W_2$ metric scales in proportion to $d$ or $\sqrt{d}$. In this work\, we argue that\, despite this poor scaling of the $W_2$ error for the full set of variables\, the behavior for a \emph{small number} of variables can be significantly better: a number of iterations proportional to $K$\, up to logarithmic terms in $d$\, often suffices for the algorithm to converge to within a desired $W_2$ error for all $K$-marginals. We refer to this effect as \textit{delocalization of bias}. We show that the delocalization effect does not hold universally and prove its validity for Gaussian distributions and strongly log-concave distributions with certain sparse interactions. Our analysis relies on a novel $W_{2\,\ell^\infty}$ metric to measure convergence. A key technical challenge we address is the lack of a one-step contraction property in this metric. Finally\, we use asymptotic arguments to explore potential generalizations of the delocalization effect beyond the Gaussian and sparse interactions setting.

These varieties have surprising finiteness properties (e.g.\, Draisma proved that the descending chain condition holds for GL-stable closed subsets) and they can be useful for studying asymptotic properties in algebra (e.g.\, Stillman's conjecture). The basic theory of these varieties has been developed over the last few years. I will explain a somewhat deeper result\, obtained recently by Bik\, Draisma\, Eggermont\, and me\, which constructs a sufficient supply of curves on GL-varieties. I will not assume any prior knowledge about GL-varieties.

The land struggle carried out by the Tupinambá of Serra do Padeiro\, in Southern Bahia\, in the Northeast of the country\, provides a striking example of Indigenous mobilization to assert territorial rights. In 2004\, they began to carry out direct actions\, called *retomadas de terras*\, to recover their territory\, which\, from the end of the 19th century onwards\, had been turned by non-Indigenous settlers into cocoa farms and resorts. By doing so\, they have been able to revert the diaspora triggered by the loss of their lands. Despite being heavily targeted by criminalization\, paramilitary attacks\, and police brutality\, after 95 *retomadas*\, they regained possession of around two-thirds of the territory\, even though the official demarcation of their land\, which also began in 2004\, is not over yet. Through their mobilization\, the Tupinambá has forged a thriving collective project aimed at creating conditions for viver bem (living well)\, which forms part of broader ongoing decolonization processes. This presentation focuses on the territorialization process among the Tupinambá\, examining both the history of dispossession and the territorial recovery carried out by the Indigenous community\, also drawing connections between the *retomadas* and the reversion of the Tupinambá diaspora.\n\nDaniela Fernandes Alarcon (Ph.D. Social Anthropology\, National Museum\, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro\, 2020) is a postdoctoral fellow at the National Museum. Over the past two years\, she worked at the Brazilian Ministry of Indigenous Peoples as a general coordinator in the Department of Mediation of Indigenous Land Conflicts. From 2021-22\, she was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow with the Project “Dispossessions in the Americas: The Extraction of Bodies\, Land\, and Heritage from La Conquista to the Present” at the University of Pennsylvania. Previously\, from 2017-18\, she was a visiting scholar at the LLILAS Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection at the University of Texas at Austin. Over the past 15 years\, she has developed in-depth studies among Indigenous peoples and other traditional communities in Brazil\, focusing on territorial rights and the mobilizations of these groups to defend their territories\, lifeways\, and collective projects. Her master’s thesis\, published in book form in 2019\, earned the Norm and Sibby Whitten Publication Subvention Award for Anthropological Monographs on Lowland South America by the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America.

The aim of each player is to minimize the expected value of her cost\, which is a function of the player's state and the empirical measure of the states of all the players. Our aim is to determine the N→∞ asymptotic behavior of the upper order statistics of the player's states under Nash equilibrium (the Nash states). For this purpose\, we consider also a system of interacting diffusions which is constructed by using the Master PDE of the game and approximates the system of the Nash states\, and we improve an L2 estimate for the distance between the drifts of the two systems which has been used for establishing Central Limit Theorems and Large Deviations Principles for the Nash states in the past. By differentiating the Master PDE\, we obtain that estimate also in L∞\, which allows us to control the Radon-Nikodym derivative of a Girsanov transformation that connects the two systems. The latter allows us to reduce the problem to the case of N uncontrolled diffusions with standard mean-field interaction in the drifts\, which has been treated in a previous work.\nJoint work with Erhan Bayraktar.

Given a single noncompact finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M\, the theorem provides a construction for a countably infinite family of closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds converging to M in a geometric sense. The theorem is a major source of examples of 3-manifolds admitting hyperbolic structures\, and closely connects the topology of a 3-manifold to the analysis of the character variety of its fundamental group in PSL(2\, C). In this talk\, we discuss some analogs and generalizations of Thurston's theorem in the context of general (arbitrary-rank) semisimple Lie groups. We will explain how our results provide a way to construct new examples of Anosov and relatively Anosov representations into higher-rank Lie groups\; we will also discuss upcoming joint work with Jeff Danciger\, which applies our results to construct exotic new examples of convex cocompact and geometrically finite groups acting on complex hyperbolic 3-space.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

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:84303-21621494@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:20241107T172312 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250116T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250116T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Wonders of Water Community Art Exhibit DESCRIPTION:Fri\, Nov 29 2024 - Sun\, Jan 26 2025\, All day\nDive into the beauty and significance of North America's rivers with The Wonders of Water\, a community art exhibit that pays homage to the vital roles rivers play in our environment and society.

I’ll describe one such journey\, in our lab\, in which a membrane-based optomechanical system is being used to search for inertial forces produced by ultralight “dark photon” dark matter. Along the way\, we have developed techniques to enhance sensitivity using tools of contemporary cavity optomechanics\, including elastic strain-engineering to reduce mechanical loss\, radiation pressure feedback to reduce thermal noise\, and photonic crystal patterning to increase displacement sensitivity. We have also joined forces with the squeezed light metrology community\, to develop a prototype entanglement-enhanced optomechanical sensor array. Against this backdrop\, I’ll present our initial dark photon search results.\n\nBio: \nDalziel Wilson is an associate professor of optical sciences at the University of Arizona. His work in cavity optomechanics includes seminal demonstrations of radiation pressure feedback cooling\, quantum-limited position measurement\, optomechanical light squeezing\, and quantum coherent nanomechanics. Previously\, he was a visiting scientist at IBM Research–Zurich and a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at EPFL. He received his Ph.D. from Caltech in 2012 and his B.S. from UC Berkeley in 2006.

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 this talk\, Professor Anderson suggests that this period of rapid transformation offered each of them a new start and the chance to create a new identity. Together\, their stories shed light on how gender roles changed in these years and demonstrate how modern Japanese society was increasingly organized around the principle of gender difference.\n \n Marnie S. Anderson is the Barbara Richmond 1940 Professor of History at Smith College in Northampton\, Massachusetts\, where she teaches premodern and modern Japanese history and modern East Asian history. She received her PhD from the University of Michigan in 2005. Her current research investigates the rise of large-scale conservative women’s activism in prewar and wartime Japan with a focus on the Patriotic Women’s Association *(Aikoku fujinkai)*.\n \n *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu.

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

Dr. Longwei Liu’s research merges ultrasound-controllable genetic circuit engineering\, cellular reprogramming\, and multiplexed molecular imaging techniques to empower cells to detect and respond to ultrasound. Specifically\, his research focuses on developing a clinically compatible\, noninvasive\, effective\, focused ultrasound (FUS)-controllable Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cell-based immunotherapy for solid tumor treatment. Alongside this\, he also develops genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors and multiplexed signaling activity imaging platform to capture the early activation molecular signaling landscapes in live immune cells to guide the design of genetic circuits. These biosensors can be further extended to study cell signaling in real time\, providing insights into cellular mechanics\, cell-cell and cell-material interactions. In this seminar\, Dr. Liu will share recent progress on three topics: (1) engineering effective and clinically compatible ultrasound-controllable CAR-T cell immunotherapies for treating solid tumors\, including glioblastoma (GBM) and prostate cancer\; (2) developing a remote-controllable CRISPR toolbox to allow spatiotemporal control of genomic/epigenomic reprogramming\, potentially for gene therapies\; and (3) engineering “cell activity” biosensors and multiplexed signaling activity imaging platform to study T cell activation mechanisms and guide the design of genetic circuits. This combination of cell signaling observation and manipulation deepens our understanding of cellular networks\, bridges the gap between observational biology and actionable therapeutics\, and paves the way for innovative cell manipulation methodologies for therapy.\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94337625486 UID:131029-21867615@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/131029 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,seminar LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 1130 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250116T152050 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250116T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250116T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Inclusive Leadership DESCRIPTION:Having diverse individuals on a team or in an organization does not make that space automatically inclusive.

This fills a gap in the theory between the classical fixed dimensional regime dating back to Laplace\, and more recent work on the asymptotic expansion of infinite dimensional Laplace-type integrals due to Ben Arous. We also present related work on approximations of high-dimensional Laplace-type probability densities. These results resolve several long-standing open questions in the theory of both general asymptotic analysis and high-dimensional Bayesian statistics. Beyond their theoretical significance\, our results are useful for statistical computation such as model selection and uncertainty quantification in Bayesian inverse problems and other data science settings.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/Dr32j\n\nThe Inter-American Human Rights system serves as a vital mechanism for promoting equity and addressing systemic discrimination in the Americas and Caribbean region. The Inter-American system has played a crucial role in combating racial and intersectional discrimination. Key to its work is the work of expert bodies or \"Rapporteurs\,\" including one monitoring the conditions of Afro-descendants. Our speaker will discuss the mandate\, mechanisms\, tools\, and initiatives of the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights as well as the Rapporteurship on Afro- descendants and their contributions to promoting racial justice in the Americas.\n\nCommissioner Gloria de Mees was elected by the General Assembly of the OAS during its 53th Regular Period of Sessions\, for a four-year term from January 1\, 2024 through December 31\, 2027. She is a human rights lecturer at the Anton de Kom University of Suriname. Her focus\, as a legal expert\, included the Collective Rights of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples\, and Human Rights of Older Persons. Standing out in her human rights career are advising nationally on the Inter-American Human Rights System\, legislation and policy\, in addition to advocating for the rights of marginalized communities. In this sense\, she was a member of the Group of Experts advising the National Assemblée of the Republic of Suriname on the Bill on Collective Rights of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples\; she served as the Secretary of the Bureau of the Agent of State to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights\; she has also been actively involved in the formulation of the Bill establishing the National Human Rights Institute as well as in the drafting of country reports for reporting to several UN Treaty Bodies.

Despite its long history of study\, we are only beginning to understand the evolutionary drivers of reproductive barriers between species\, including reproductive barriers that manifest as sterile or dead hybrids. An intriguing hypothesis is that intragenomic conflicts- or selfish evolution- can drive the evolution of alleles that cause hybrid sterility/inviability. One such source of conflict is conflict between parents over resource allocation to offspring. Under parental conflict\, multiple paternity drives the evolution of paternally derived\, resource-acquiring alleles\, and maternally derived alleles that distribute resources equally among offspring. In hybrids\, mismatches between these parent-of-origin effect alleles can cause inappropriate development of placenta or endosperm\, and subsequently embryo death. Here\, I test the role of parental conflict in generating one of the most common intrinsic barriers in seed angiosperms- hybrid seed inviability-using members of the evolutionary and ecological model system\; the Mimulus guttatus species complex. I show that hybrid seed inviability has evolved rapidly and repeatedly in this group\, and patterns of HSI conform to the predictions of parental conflict. Additionally\, genetic mapping suggests that hybrid seed inviability is conferred by nuclear\, parent-of-origin effect loci (i.e. loci that affect the probability of death only if maternally or paternally derived). Lastly\, using a series of natural surveys and mixed pollination crosses\, I find that species with different histories of parental conflict frequently co-occur and hybridize\, and hybridization between species with differing histories of parental conflict can indirectly influence growth in intraspecific seeds. Overall\, this work highlights a dual role of parental conflict in the speciation process\; both in the origin of reproductive isolation\, but also in the dynamics and outcomes of hybridization in nature.

This lecture will address the tensions between forced and voluntary exile of Mexican migrants over the years\, as well as how we might grapple with notions of exile as they relate to economic and violent displacement. It will also discuss the many meanings of home\, especially for migrants forging binational lives and livelihoods. Centrally\, it will focus on the affective impacts of exile—the longing and the missing of homes and families on the other side of the border.\n\nLarisa Veloz is a professor of history at the University of Texas at El Paso\, where she teaches the histories of Mexican migration\, Latin America and the Latinx diaspora\, and the US-Mexico borderlands. Her book \"‘Even the Women are Leaving’: Migrants Making Mexican America\, 1890-1965\,\" published in 2023 by University of California Press\, explores the histories of Mexican migrant families\, focusing on women and gender relations in the first part of the twentieth century. Her current project is based on a set of oral histories/testimonios of Mexican migrant women who came to the United States in the 60s\, 70s\, and 80s.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

A Rebetiko Case Study DESCRIPTION:What is the democratizing potential of participatory music practices? Professor Stamatis draws on her extensive ethnographic research in the Rebetiki Istoria music club in Athens and is in dialogue with the writings of political theorist Chantal Mouffe that harness critical artistic practices in the public sphere to the realization of agonistic democracy. Using the participatory music practices of Rebetiki Istoria\, she develops Mouffe’s work to better understand under which conditions counterhegemonic music practices engender agonism. She suggests that its music practices offer a framework for overcoming fundamental shortcomings of agonistic theory and demonstrate the possibility for agonistic peace as a dynamic equilibrium between the constitutive political tensions of liberal democracy.\n\nYona Stamatis is Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology at the University of Illinois Springfield\, Director of the Music Program\, and Chair of the Department of Art\, Music and Theatre. Her research interests center on music and social justice with a focus on Greek folk and popular song. She has published many articles and has a book in progress. Her research has been supported by the Fulbright Foundation\, Mellon Foundation\, and Constantine A Tsangadas Fellowship for Hellenic Studies. She is the music editor for Ergon: Greek/American & Diaspora Arts and Letters. Her doctorate in musicology is from the University of Michigan in 2011. She is a violinist and a bouzouki player in the early rebetiko style.

Nearly all major corporations release ESG reports\, and global ESG (environmental\, social\, governance) assets under management are projected to pass $50 trillion in 2025. Some see ESG data as an essential tool to guide corporations toward positive social impact. Yet the investment strategy has become controversial\, and some states have banned the use of ESG standards for government funds. What is ESG\, how can I get and use ESG data\, and why is a seemingly niche investment strategy suddenly so political?\n\nThis hands-on workshop provides hands-on experience with ESG data to answer three questions: (1) How can I evaluate a specific company’s ESG performance (e.g.\, a potential employer)? (2) How can I assess ESG mutual funds and ETFs that I might invest in? and (3) How can I use ESG data to create a portfolio that matches my values?\n\nRegister for this and other workshops in the series at https://forms.gle/oXCDCEsdQ5AHqcpK8 UID:130889-21867234@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130889 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Business,Corporate,Environment,Financial Inclusion,Interdisciplinary,Public Policy,Social Impact,Social Justice,Undergraduate,Undergraduate Students,Workshop LOCATION:Ross School of Business - R1220 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241211T161203 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250116T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250116T180000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Newnan Info Session for LSA + School of Information Multiple Dependent Degree Program (MDDP) DESCRIPTION:Want to learn more about earning a dual undergraduate degree between LSA and the School of Information (SI)?

This study is a subset of a larger project to look at color in the Kelsey Museum’s collections. Among other things\, it has revealed that the textile workers of Karanis were highly sophisticated in their application and manipulation of color and that favorite colors for embellishing fabrics were a classic navy blue\, a bright and bold red\, and a wide range of pinks and purples—all skillfully modulated to achieve specific decorative effects. \n\nThis event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall. Light refreshments and food will be provided before the lecture\, which will begin at 6 PM.\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) lectures are free and open to the public.

He seamlessly merges art\, code\, film\, and community-building to create immersive experiences that explore the intersections of Blackness\, queerness\, and futurism. Using the equalizing force of sampling\, he crafts compositions that surprise in their associative potential and walk the tightrope between identity politics\, social practice and abstraction. \nAssembly\, his groundbreaking exhibition and film\, brings together dancers\, artificial intelligence\, animation\, collage\, sculpture\, holography\, and soundscapes to reimagine collective liberation. Central to this work is Being\, the Digital Griot—an AI-powered entity that embodies radical storytelling. Acting as both mirror and provocateur\, Being demonstrates AI's potential as a tool for liberation rather than control. \nNewsome will offer an in-depth exploration of the conceptual frameworks and processes behind Assembly and Being. He will discuss how his work dismantles systems of oppression and reimagines physical and digital spaces as arenas for liberation. Through dynamic storytelling\, dance\, and the collaboration between human and non-human performers\, Newsome pushes artistic boundaries while sparking critical conversations about how art and technology can shape futures beyond binary thinking\, paving the way for a more liberated world.\nNewsome has exhibited and performed in galleries\, museums\, institutions\, and festivals throughout the world\, including The Whitney Museum\, Brooklyn Museum\, MoMA PS1\, SFMOMA\, New Orleans Museum of Art\, Centre Georges Pompidou\, and the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture. He has received multiple honors and awards for his work\, including a 2014 Headlands Center for the Arts Visiting Artist Residency\, and a 2011 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award.\nIn tandem with Newsome’s appearance in the Penny Stamps Series\, the Institute for the Humanities is hosting Chimera\, an immersive exhibition built around a newly commissioned film of the same name. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation. Chimera opens directly following this event at the Institute for the Humanities gallery with an opening reception and artist meet and greet. Chimera will be on view from January 16 through February 28\, 2025 at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. \nPresented in partnership with the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

In September 2023\, four undergraduates united with a simple mission: to create a space for showcasing exciting new art work. They established a foundation and worked to build a buzz through outreach and excitement. The Stampede first hosted a pop-up exhibition (party) at a friend's house\, exhibiting 53 pieces of original work\, with food\, drink\, and music\, and a smashing turnout from the local community. They have since evolved\, developed an infrastructure\, and grown into a platform for dynamic art work.\nToday\, The Stampede curates and facilitates exhibitions and events that bring together artists\, writers\, and musicians. From pop-ups and art markets to concerts and gallery shows\, they provide a vibrant platform for creativity for the community. The organization has broken new ground on multiple accounts to pave new ways for artists today and tomorrow\; bridging the divide between student and school. Functioning as an artist collective\, The Stampede focus on creating large-scale artworks\, promotional materials\, and merchandise for their events.\nThis exhibition offers a glimpse behind the scenes of The Stampede: its origins\, current endeavors\, and future aspirations. Since its inception\, The Stampede has continuously surprised with its growth and transformation. Committed to providing opportunities for artists\, they will keep hosting events for their community and friends.\nJoin The Stampede in their journey\; they invite you to... RUN WITH US!

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.
