SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Carlo Vitale Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Carlo Vitale is a distinguished Michigan-based artist whose vibrant contributions to the Detroit art scene have flourished since the 1970s. A native of Detroit\, Vitale's work is celebrated as part of the second generation of the Cass Corridor Art Movement\, Detroit’s first avante garde. His art draws inspiration from the sweeping vistas of farmland seen from above\, the intricate patterns of quilt-making\, the dynamic energy of cityscapes\, and the rich tapestry of daily life. Vitale eloquently characterizes his mesmerizing oil paintings and prints as “kinetic\, metaphysical abstractions\,” inviting viewers to engage with the depth and vitality of his creative vision.\n\nVitale received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and Masters of Fine Arts from Wayne State University in Detroit.  His work can be found in many collections including The Whitney Museum of Fine Art in New York\, The Detroit Institute of Art\, Cranbrook Art Museum\, Wayne State University Collection\, University of Michigan Museum of Art and corporate\, hospital\, and private collections throughout the country.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Explore \"Moth Eden\,\" an evocative art exhibit by Anne Erlewine\, running from April 19 to July 6\, 2025. ‘Moth Eden’ is a series of works exploring the relationship between the sacred reverence of the female form depicted as landscape and the conditioned tension of objectification contrasted by omission through eclipsing desire with the natural essence of bloom and nectar as it pertains to moth sustenance.\n\nAnne Erlewine\, an artist from Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, cultivated her artistic talents from an early age\, inspired by her fine artist grandmother. Her creative journey was further developed at the University of Michigan\, where she studied art and writing.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. 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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Roundtable. Analyzing the 2025 Philippine Midterm Elections
DESCRIPTION:Register for this Zoom event at http://myumi.ch/D884G\n\nPatrick Peralta - PhD student\, Department of Political Science\, University of Michigan\; Non-Resident Visiting Scholar\, Ateneo de Manila University Mike Tiu - SJD student\, University of Michigan Law School\; Assistant Professor\, University of the Philippines College of Law Cesi Cruz - Associate Professor\, Department of Political Science and Department of Economics\, University of Michigan Jefferson Ragragio - Gosling Lim Postdoctoral Fellow in Southeast Asian Studies\, University of Michigan\; Assistant Professor\, Department of Science Communication\, University of the Philippines Los Baños\n\nIn midterm elections held on May 12\, 2025\, more than 68 million Filipino voters cast their ballots for local and national posts. The results are largely a repudiation of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s administration and will likely set the stage for the 2028 presidential race\, for which Vice President Sara Duterte is currently the frontrunner. Among the issues on voters’ minds were the ongoing rivalry between the Marcos and Duterte clans\, the looming impeachment trial of the vice president\, and the upcoming International Criminal Court trial of former President Rodrigo Duterte. This webinar brings together four scholars specializing in political science\, economics\, media studies\, and law. They will briefly share their views on the election results\, key trends and developments in campaign strategies\, and broader implications for the future of democracy and rule of law in the Philippines. In the second half of the webinar\, the panelists will answer questions from the audience.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Online Arabic Placement test_May 27\, 2025 (12pm-3pm EST)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test takes approximately two hours and a half in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed via Zoom and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed online through Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the other two portions. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary.\nHow is the result calculated?Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the LSA Language Requirement.Where can I view my results? Placement results are posted within 7 business days after taking the test. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Please note that only students who are participating in the Spring/Summer orientations are eligible to take the online placement test. If you are an existing UM student\, please sign up to take the in-person placement test that is taking place in August.* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Standard Arabic (fuSHa)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement.* Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 or 504 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.UM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of formal Arabic (fuSHa). If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the Arabic program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - Macroevolutionary patterns of a complex phenotype: Disparity\, convergence\, and integration of the Neotropical cichlid feeding system
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Organisms consist of many anatomical systems that function together to form complex phenotypes\, which are involved in tasks such as feeding\, breathing\, or locomotion. These phenotypes require the coordinated evolution\, or coevolution\, of numerous traits to maintain functionality. However\, multifunctional phenotypes face trade-offs that may restrict their diversification. The skull of fishes represents a complex phenotype\, containing over 100 bones\, which perform multiple functions such as feeding\, breathing\, and brooding eggs. Neotropical cichlids represent a fruitful system to study how a complex phenotype\, the feeding system\, has evolved in the context of an ancient adaptive continental radiation\, with repeated transitions to specialized diets\, and a second jaw in their throat\, which is thought to have resulted in their immense ecological and species diversity across two continents through functional decoupling. This dissertation investigates the macroevolutionary patterns in cichlid feeding morphology to better understand how complex phenotypes\, which are multifunctional\, have evolved in the context of constraint and adaptation. Utilizing three-dimensional geometric morphometrics and microcomputed tomography (μCT) scanning\, I explore the diversity and macroevolutionary patterns of the Neotropical cichlid feeding system\, including all bones in the oral and pharyngeal jaw for the first time. \nIn Chapter 2\, I characterize the diversity and phylogenetic trajectories of pharyngeal jaws across Cichlinae. The upper pharyngeal jaw has been largely absent in studies of cichlid feeding\, however\, with µCT scanning\, I am able to describe the diversity of the upper pharyngeal jaw and measure disparity through time\, revealing unexpected patterns in phenotypic divergence. In Chapter 3\, I examine the relationship between diet and feeding morphology\, highlighting instances of morphological convergence and divergence among ecologically similar species. I also reconstruct the evolutionary history of dietary transitions and test for correlations between diet and previously unstudied morphological traits. Lastly\, I test the hypothesis that functional decoupling has led to evolutionary decoupling between the oral and pharyngeal jaws in Chapter 4. My findings challenge traditional views on functional decoupling and suggest that evolutionary integration between the two jaws is necessary for functional decoupling to occur. The findings from this dissertation enhance our understanding of how complex phenotypes have evolved at a continental scale\, and the influence diet has on shaping macroevolutionary patterns.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Specters of Cavafy
DESCRIPTION:The Modern Greek Program at the University of Michigan warmly invites you to a book discussion on the first book in the series \"Greek / Modern Intersections\,\" (edited by Artemis Leontis\, published by U Michigan Press).\n\nC.P. Cavafy’s poetry explored the conditions for animating the past and making lost worlds or people haunt the present. Yet he also described himself as “a poet of the future generations.” Indeed\, his writings address concerns and desires that permeate the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. How does poetry concerned with the past\, memory\, loss\, and death carry futurity? How does it haunt\, and how is it haunted by\, future presents? \n\nIn her book Specters of Cavafy\, Maria Boletsi broaches these questions by proposing spectral poetics as a novel approach to Cavafy’s work. Drawing from theorizations of specters and haunting\, she develops spectrality as a lens for revisiting Cavafy’s poetry and prose\, fiction and nonfiction\, as well as his poetry’s bearing on our present. By examining Cavafy’s spectral poetics\, the book shows how conjurations work in his writings\, and how the spectral permeates the entanglement of modernity and haunting\, and of irony and affect. Boletsi also traces the afterlives of specific poems in the Western imagination since the 1990s\, in Egypt’s history of debt and colonization\, and in Greece during the country’s recent debt crisis. \nIn this online event\, Maria Boletsi will talk with Will Stroebel (University of Michigan) about her new book\, Cavafy\, poetry and haunting.\n\nJoin this event on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96401478491\, passcode: 761866.\n\nMaria Boletsi is Endowed Professor of Modern Greek Studies at the University of Amsterdam\, where she holds the Marilena Laskaridis Chair\, and Associate Professor in Film and Literary Studies at Leiden University\, the Netherlands. She is the author of Barbarism and Its Discontents (Stanford University Press\, 2013) and Specters of Cavafy (University of Michigan Press\, 2024)\, and co-author of Barbarian: Explorations of a Western Concept in Theory\, Literature and the Arts (Metzler\, 2 vols\; 2018/2023). She has published\, among other topics\, on the concepts of barbarism\, spectrality\, crisis\, and literatures and cultures of resistance in Greece and the Mediterranean. Her latest project focuses on the concept of the weird and its mobilizations in fiction\, ecology\, and politics.\n\nWill Stroebel is Assistant Professor of Modern Greek and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan. His book\, Literature's Refuge: Rewriting the Mediterranean Borderscape\, has just been published by Princeton University Press.

SUMMARY:Presentation:The Development and Evaluation of Biomimetic Control for Robotic Lower-Limb Prostheses: Advancing Toward Real-World Clinical Use
DESCRIPTION:Co-chairs: Bobby Gregg and Elliott Rouse\n\nAbstract:\nPowered robotic prostheses promise to improve mobility and quality of life for individuals with lower-limb amputation by more effectively replacing the functions of the missing limb. However\, their adoption into mainstream clinical practice remains limited due in large part to a lack of clinically viable control methods to effectively govern their behavior in diverse real-world conditions. \n\nIn this dissertation defense\, I will share our work towards addressing this need through the development of a novel data-driven controller that can adapt to variable real-world conditions while maintaining performance and clinical viability. We investigate the clinical outcomes of our proposed control framework\, showing that it allows both prototype and commercialized prostheses to produce meaningful benefits over traditional passive prostheses. Finally\, we show how the impedance properties of controllers like ours affect the user's ability to walk during destabilizing gait perturbations\, which are inevitable in community ambulation. \n\nIn total\, the work presented in this defense aims to help advance robotic prostheses out of research labs and into mainstream clinical practice by providing a clinically viable control framework that produces concrete clinical benefits while also accommodating the diversity of real-world ambulation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Restoration Toward Robust Native Fisheries in Saginaw Bay\, Lake Huron
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2025 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, an alumnus will return to the research and teaching campus nestled along Douglas Lake in northern Michigan to give a free\, public talk focused on conservation of Great Lakes native fishes.\n\nDr. Scott Koenigbauer\, a fish biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the Alpena Conservation Office in Alpena\, Michigan\, will describe multiagency efforts to restore degraded rock reef spawning habitat and re-establish a once abundant native mesotrophic fish\, cisco (Coregonus artedi)\, in Saginaw Bay. He will characterize a pre- and post-restoration assessment of fish spawning utilization at Coreyon Reef\, and contextualize results with potential benefits to population genetic structure. Koenigbauer also will describe the Saginaw Bay cisco reintroduction program and its comprehensive monitoring at all life stages. Finally\, he will conclude with restoration outlooks for the Saginaw Bay fish assemblage and future research priorities.\n\nKoenigbauer received his bachelor of science in ecology and evolutionary biology from University of Michigan\, and his master of science and Ph.D. in aquatic ecology from Purdue University. His research focuses on Great Lakes fishes\, examining ecological phenomena through synthesis of long- term monitoring\, characterizing phenotypic variation in different environments\, and evaluating restoration efforts to increase or sustain native fish abundance.\n\nThe U-M Biological Station — the largest of U-M's campuses at more than 10\,000 forested acres surrounded by lakes — is one of the nation's largest and longest continuously operating field research stations.\n\nFounded in 1909\, the Biological Station supports long-term research and education. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS\, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so our community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free\, public talks are on Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston\, Michigan — about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - The secret life of leaves in tree species’ life history strategies: patterns across tropical and temperate forests
DESCRIPTION:Dissertation abstract: We share our planet with hundreds of thousands of other species\, including more than 73\,000 tree species alone. Making sense of this tremendous amount of biodiversity has remained an on-going challenge\, and ecologists are often limited in our ability to study how species identities influence community dynamics and ecosystem processes at larger scales\, particularly in diverse tree communities such as tropical forests. The use of functional traits as indicators of species’ life history strategies and other key aspects of their performance has the potential to help us find general trends in biological communities. However\, the extent to which traits link to measures of species’ fitness for diverse species assemblages needs further development. Specifically\, leaf traits play key roles in photosynthetic pathways\, yet the functionality of leaf traits as indicators of tree species’ life history strategy remain ambiguous. This dissertation closely examines the role of leaves as indicators of tree species’ growth and mortality rates. I find that leaf traits play a greater role in characterizing how tree species’ growth responds to resource availability rather than their average or maximum growth rates\, and have significant indirect effects on species’ life history strategies that are not evident when we consider only direct effects. I also found evidence for a trade-off between species’ allocations to individual leaves versus to their crown\, which together uncovers a stronger role of leaves as indicators of species’ growth strategies\, and that trait patterns in temperate forests sometimes are sometimes opposite to those found in tropical forests. Together\, these results deepen our understanding of the role of leaves in tree species’ life history strategies and support our efforts to find general patterns in forests around the world.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Innovations in Likelihood-Based Inference for State Space Models
DESCRIPTION:State space models are important tools for time series analysis\, particularly when data come from partially observed dynamic systems. Despite their importance\, likelihood-based inference with these models is challenging because a closed-form expression of the likelihood function is unavailable except in the simplest cases. This dissertation introduces three projects aimed at advancing likelihood-based inference for state space models.\n\nThe first project proposes a novel algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of Auto Regressive Moving Average (ARMA) models\, which are formally a special case of linear Gaussian state space models. The proposed algorithm overcomes underrecognized optimization shortcomings of existing parameter estimation methods. The second project presents a likelihood-based analysis of the 2010-2019 cholera outbreak in Haiti. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of recently developed algorithms for performing inference on high-dimensional models. A key focus of this project is to assess the strengths and limitations of using state space models to inform public health policy decisions. The third project\, which is the primary focus of my presentation\, is a novel simulation-based algorithm called the Marginalized Panel Iterated Filter (MPIF). This algorithm is designed for maximum likelihood estimation of parameters from large collections of independent state space models. Theoretical support for this algorithm is provided through an analysis of iterating marginalized Bayes maps. New theoretical developments for the convergence of iterated filtering algorithms on this class of models are also derived.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Special CM-AMO Seminar | New Many-Body Complexes in Two-Dimensional Semiconductors
DESCRIPTION:2D monolayer semiconductors have emerged as an important class of materials for fundamental physics and many applications. Due to strong Coulomb interaction\, they provide an important platform for studying many-body complexes or quasi-particles such as excitons\, trions\, bi-excitons\, and other possible new species. This talk will focus on our recent results of spectroscopic studies of the monolayer MoTe2\, especially the existence of possible new species involving three and four electrons and holes. We will show that the common concept of a trion needs to be re-examined and there is a spectral splitting between a charged exciton and a genuei trion. In the case of four fermions\, our combined theoretical and experimental results will be presented to show strong evidence for the existence of a new four-particle entity\, a genuei four-body bound state called quadruplon which does not involve excitons and is different from the bi exciton.  \n\nDr. Ning is a Chaired Professor and a College Dean at Shenzhen Tech University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Data and AI in Society Lecture Series | Industries of Ideas: Preparing People & Policy for Work in an AI Economy
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI burst into the public consciousness with the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT at the end of 2022. In the two and a half years that followed\, we have seen the capabilities of foundation models like ChatGPT grow at a breathtaking rate\, but our understanding of AI’s implications for the economy and work has not kept pace. Public impact predictions have ranged from species extinction to utopia\, while even the most sober and technical economic forecasts have varied by amounts nearly twice the size of Germany’s economy.\n\nAs a result\, state and federal policymakers\, business and innovation leaders\, higher education institutions\, and everyday students\, families and workers face great uncertainty as they try to decide how to react to and prepare for the effects AI may have on business\, careers\, jobs\, education\, innovation\, and the prosperity and security of the United States. Much of this uncertainty stems from the lack of trustworthy\, timely\, local\, and actionable data about where the technology is headed\, how its capabilities may shape the workplaces of the future\, and what we can do to prepare.\n\nThis talk surveys some of the key issues for understanding AI effects on our jobs and the economy. It walks through initial findings the Industries of Ideas (IofI) project\, a new effort that brings together universities\, federal and state agencies\, business and economic development leaders\, and education and training providers to better understand how this new technology is shaping jobs and the skills needed to position the nation\, specific regions\, employers\, and individuals to thrive in an AI-driven economy.\n\nMeet Jason Owen-Smith:\n\nJason Owen-Smith is the Associate Vice President for Research at the University of Michigan\, where he drives the expansion data usage that strategically supports the University of Michigan’s research and creative enterprise. A Professor of Sociology and Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research\, his work examines the impact of large-scale networks on knowledge-intensive fields\, such as science\, engineering\, and surgical\ncare.\n\nProfessor Owen-Smith is the author of Research Universities and the Public Good and co-founder of the Institute for Research on Innovation and Science (IRIS)\, which curates data to improve the public value of academic research investments.

SUMMARY:Performance:Flamy Grant
DESCRIPTION:“Grant crafts songs with an inexorable flow and irresistible hooks… Air-tight lyrics and a soaring tenor. Grant uses drag to deliver a treasure trove of disarmingly sincere music.”  —No Depression\n\nAward-winning and Billboard-charting artist Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying\, hip-swaying\, singing-songwriting drag queen from western North Carolina. Her 2022 debut record\, Bible Belt Baby\, was nominated for Best Pop Album at the San Diego Music Awards and was named one of the Top Ten Queer Country Albums of 2023 by Rainbow Rodeo Magazine. Flamy is a finalist for Artist of the Year at the 2025 International Folk Music Awards and is a winner of the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition\, a nominee for the 2023 QueerX Award for Best Drag Artist\, and a nominee for the 2023 Queerty Awards Drag Royalty. Both a powerhouse vocalist and an intrepid songwriter\, Flamy blends the evocative art of drag with her iconic mix of country\, gospel\, folk\, and roots music.\n\nIt’s no accident that Flamy’s drag name is an homage to Amy Grant\, the undisputed queen of Christian music and 90s chart-topping pop artist. Much of Flamy’s music centers on the queer spiritual journey\, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma in a world where LGBTQ+ people are frequently ignored by\, harmed in\, or ejected from religious spaces. With a bold lip\, a big lash\, and a blistering voice\, Flamy drags audiences to a soulful\, uplifting church of her own making.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dissecting the High Energy Plasma Environment of Sagittarius A
DESCRIPTION:The crowded central parsecs of our Galaxy offer a unique environment to study accretion physics\, plasma dynamics\, star formation\, and more. Within arcseconds of central supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*)\, colliding stellar winds from Wolf-Rayet stars in the nuclear star cluster generate a hot plasma reservoir from which Sgr A* accretes. Given this abundance of accretion material\, the SMBH radiates at a lower luminosity than expected. At larger angular scales\, the extended Sgr A* plasma environment overlaps in our line of sight with the supernova remnant Sgr A East. Through Chandra spectroscopy and imaging\, I examine the extended X-ray plasma at multiple scales. To investigate the spectrum of the accretion flow\, I perform forward-modeling of High Energy Transmission Grating-Spectrometer (HETG-S) data\, accounting for the accretion geometry and instrumental effects. We found that a Radiatively Inefficient Accretion Flow (RIAF) model fit to the quiescent HETG-S spectrum indicates an outflow balancing inflowing material and a sub-solar iron abundance. Synthetic spectra from smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations of the stellar‐wind plasma fit equally well\, but the two scenarios will only be distinguishable with future microcalorimeters that have high spatial resolution. Lastly\, I use data-driven signal separation techniques to analyze Chandra imaging data of the extended emission around Sgr A*. In particular\, the supernova remnant Sgr A East may yield insight into the recent history of star formation\, dust physics\, and feedback in the Galactic Center. In this work\, I separate Sgr A East from the cooler plasma around Sgr A*. Through comparison with a wide range of multiwavelength datasets\, we assess the spatial and spectral relationships among the observed structures and discuss the physical implications.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. 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

SUMMARY:Performance:Joshua Davis & Brad Phillips
DESCRIPTION:Over the past twenty years\, Michigan-based Joshua Davis has honed an impressive range of skills – songwriter\, bandleader\, guitarist\, and vocalist among them – in the most honest possible fashion: night after night\, song after song\, show after show Davis simply delivered every performance as though his life depended on it. Investing himself in the American musical diaspora\, he has explored the common thread connecting folk\, blues\, jazz\, ragtime\, and country forms – discovering his personal perspective as a composer in the process. “The music that moves me is imperfect\, honest and raw.” Joshua explains\, “Those qualities are what turned me on to Delta blues\, to punk rock\, to old soul\, and traditional music from all over the globe. It’s all about feel. It’s ragged but right.” His versatility and ravenous musical curiosity has resulted in a divergent and fervent output. Joshua was a finalist on Season 8 of NBC’s “The Voice\,” where he was the first contestant to sing an original song on the show.\n\nJoshua will be joined by multi-instrumentalist Brad Phillips. Holding both bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, Brad’s work as a fiddler\, violinist\, mandolinist\, guitarist\, arranger\, composer\, producer\, and teacher have made him one of the area’s most sought-after acoustic musicians.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Double Ramification Cycle and Admissible Cover Cycles
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nWe derive an explicit combinatorial formula for the double ramification cycle of type (1\,-1) on the moduli space of stable genus g curves with two marked points. The formula is given as a sum over certain strata on the moduli space of curves\, indexed by so-called extremal trees. We present two different proofs of the formula: one using a local equivariant method and the other using blow up and piecewise polynomial techniques. From this main result we obtain similarly-formatted variant formulas\, as well as tautological relations in higher codimension. We also study the compact type double ramification cycle of type (2\,-2)\, establish its connection with hyperelliptic admissible cover loci\, and give some examples. These works link Gromov-Witten type cycles with admissible cover cycles on the moduli space of curves.

SUMMARY:Performance:Eric Johanson
DESCRIPTION:Blues and southern roots\n\nEric Johanson blends sharp songwriting with a deep connection to the guitar\, creating music that’s dynamic\, soulful\, and rooted in a mix of rock\, blues\, and modern influences. His playing is expressive without being flashy—riff-driven and rhythmic one moment\, fluid and melodic the next—always serving the song rather than overpowering it. There’s a rawness to his sound\, but also a sense of purpose\, pulling from the weight of tradition while pushing toward something new. Whether channeling the swampy pulse of his New Orleans home or leaning into heavier\, fuzz-laden textures\, Johanson’s music strikes a balance between grit and finesse\, power and restraint. As American Songwriter puts it\, he “displays his guitar prowess but within the borders of melodies and lyrics that push the boundaries of blues/rock… searing guitar work\, and persuasive songwriting.”\n\nSince the release of The Deep and the Dirty\, Johanson has toured extensively\, playing over 100 cities and 10 countries in 2024 alone. His momentum has landed him at the top of the Billboard Blues Chart and on stages alongside some of the most respected names in rock and roots music. Named one of the 25 Best New Blues Guitarists by Guitar Player Magazine and included in Total Guitar's list of the 100 Greatest Blues Guitarists of All Time\, he’s carved out a space where strong songwriting and distinctive guitar work go hand in hand. Whether on record or on stage\, Johanson’s playing is electrifying\, his voice unfiltered\, and his approach unmistakably his own.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Generative Machine Learning\, Granger Causality\, and Optimal Intervention in Self-Exciting Spatiotemporal Processes
DESCRIPTION:In many situations\, the occurrence of one event increases the likelihood of future events\, exhibiting self-triggering behavior\, e.g.\, earthquakes leading to aftershocks\, or crime activity in a region leading to further crimes\, etc. These systems are usually modelled as Hawkes processes. This presentation focuses on some problems at the interface of generative modeling\, optimization\, and Spatiotemporal Hawkes processes\, with a special emphasis on applications in predictive policing.\n\nA core challenge in applying Hawkes processes to real-world data\, such as crime records\, is the presence of noisy and missing data. Traditional Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) methods become intractable when dealing with a significant proportion of unreported crimes. To address this\, we propose a likelihood-free approach using Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks (WGAN) and demonstrate a case study on forecasting crime hotspots in Bogota\, Colombia\, using only reported crime data.  Next\, we look at Hawkes networks where activity in one node might trigger further activity across the other nodes. These systems are widely used in predictive policing. Strategic intervention at some nodes (such as enhanced patrolling) can mitigate the spread of events throughout the network. In this context\,  we explore the problem of optimal intervention strategies under resource constraints to minimize the spread of events in a self-exciting spatial network. Different intervention strategies are compared\, and the optimal strategy\, formulated as a solution to a mixed integer programming (MILP) problem\, outperforms heuristic methods by adapting to clustering and spillover dynamics. Subsequently\, we illustrate our methodology using crime data from  Los Angeles\, CA. \n\nIn the last chapter\, we investigated shape-constrained non-parametric estimation of triggering kernels in Hawkes processes. While parametric kernels like exponential or power-law are standard\, they may not fully capture the true nature of event triggering. Non-parametric methods allow for more flexible kernel shapes\, such as monotone decreasing or concave kernels. Our work establishes that computing the NPMLE boils down to solving a convex optimization problem under linear constraints. Then\, we describe methodologies to estimate the triggering kernels consistently using regularized NPMLE and illustrate our method using financial market data and earthquake aftershock records. \n\nIn addition\, we discuss avenues for future research in these areas and general computational challenges in the area of Hawkes processes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SRC Seminar Series - The Quality of Jobs: Evidence from a New Worker Survey
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, June 3\, 2025 | 2:00-3:30pm ET\n2:00-3:00 Seminar\n3:00-3:30 Questions and Collaboration\n\n1430BD ISR-Thompson\n426 Thompson St.\n\nRegister to attend\n\nAbstract\nMany job attributes affect worker outcomes\, yet measures of job quality tend to focus solely on compensation\, reflecting the limited information collected in most surveys. The National Job Quality Survey—which was an outgrowth of the 2022 Job Quality Measurement Initiative\, a collaboration of foundations and the U.S. Department of Labor—was designed to help fill this gap. The survey instrument was developed by a team of researchers and was first administered by Gallup in January and February 2025 to over 18\,000 workers residing in the United States. The survey collected information on five dimensions of job quality: economic security\, work conditions including scheduling and job design\, work environment and culture\, skills development and opportunities for advancement\, and worker voice. The survey also collected detailed information on personal characteristics and outcomes and distinguished between workers in employee and various self-employment arrangements. The talk will cover features of the survey’s design and provide an overview of initial findings\, including salient findings for special populations\, such as those with certain diagnoses and conditions\, and differences in job quality among employees\, independent contractors\, informal workers\, and other self-employed workers.\n\nBiography\nSusan Houseman is a senior economist at the Upjohn Institute for Employment Research. Her recent research has focused on nonstandard employment arrangements (e.g.\, independent contractor\, temporary help\, and other contract company arrangements)\, job quality issues\, the manufacturing sector\, and measurement issues in economic statistics. Currently\, she is leading a research team to develop and analyze data from a national job quality panel survey and is a co-organizer for the NBER Conference on Income and Wealth conference on the Changing Nature of Work. She chaired the Technical Advisory Committee to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics from 2012 until the Committee’s termination in March. Houseman received the Society of Labor Economics Prize for Contributions to Data and Measurement in 2023 and was elected to be a 2025 Academic Fellow of the Labor and Employment Relations Association. She received her Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Waterline Launch at Literati Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:Fiction at Literati: Aram Mrjoian\n\nTue\, 6/3/2025 - 6:30pm\nLiterati Bookstore\n124 E. Washington St.\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48104\n\nAbout The Book: In this deeply moving debut\, a close-knit Armenian American family grapples with the aftermath of losing one of their own.\n\nOutside Detroit on the island of Gross Ile\, the Kurkjians receive news that Mari\, the eldest of their youngest generation\, has swum into the depths of Lake Michigan with no intent of returning to shore—the consequences of which drag out a deeply rooted pain passed down from generations before.\n\nMore than a century earlier\, Gregor\, the great-grandfather and patriarch of the Kurkjian family\, survived the Armenian Genocide after fighting for his freedom atop Musa Dagh. Decades later and miles away\, Gregor’s epic mythos is inherited by his family as they navigate living in its shadow. As the Kurkjians now struggle with their new\, devastating loss\, secrets and shortcomings rise to the surface\, forcing each relative to decide where their own story fits in the narrative of their family’s fraught history.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Statistical Inference for Spatial Transcriptomics in the Age of Deep Learning
DESCRIPTION:Single-cell spatial transcriptomics (ST) enables the measurement of gene expression of individual cells while simultaneously capturing the spatial positions of these cells within a tissue sample. To utilize these spatial positions effectively\, careful model selection is required to ensure conclusions reflect spatial dependencies in the underlying biology. In this dissertation\, we contribute three novel methodologies that merge deep learning with statistical inference for ST data.\n\nFirst\, we attempt to better predict gene expression by leveraging the spatial context included in spatial transcriptomics data. Comparing predictions from a spatial model to those from a baseline regressor without cell neighborhood information offers insights into how expression changes because of cell-cell communication (CCC) signals. However\, to trust conclusions reached from such a paired modeling framework\, the baseline version of a model needs to be a valid non-spatial reference point. To this end\, we develop a graph convolutional network (GCN) that uses graphs defined by cellular positions to predict gene expression and compare against a counterpart model without spatial context. \n\nSecond\, we study a clustering task for ST data through a Bayesian framework. A central challenge in spatial transcriptomics is to identify distinct cell communities that not only reflect transcriptional heterogeneity but also preserve spatial coherence across tissue. These clusters often represent biological components such as cortical layers\, tissue microenvironments\, or pathological regions\, whose spatial organization is critical for interpreting tissue structure and function. Existing exact Bayesian methods often rely on hard assignments\, limiting flexibility. To address this limitation\, we introduce a stochastic variational inference (SVI) method designed to learn posterior spot cluster distributions that are both spatially coherent and biologically interpretable. This approach is more computationally efficient than methods that rely on posterior sampling techniques\, such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)\, which can be expensive to retrain. \n\nThird\, we leverage normalizing flows as the approximate posterior distributions for variational inference on ST data. Normalizing flows transform simple base distributions into more expressive ones by stacking invertible transformations based on the change-of-variables formula. This allows us to model flexible\, multi-modal posteriors over soft cluster assignments beyond the capacity of standard variational families.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics of/for AI
DESCRIPTION:This talk presents a unifying applied mathematics/theoretical physics framework that bridges core components of modern generative AI -- diffusion models\, reinforcement learning\, and transformers -- through the lens of contemporary applied mathematics. Central to this framework are the concepts of Decision Flows and Path Integral Diffusions\, which offer structured approaches to sequential sampling over discrete\, continuous\, and hybrid spaces. These approaches are rooted in Green-function-based control\, Schrödinger bridges\, and non-equilibrium statistical physics.\n\nBuilding on recent work\, we explore analytically tractable and algorithmically efficient regimes -- often requiring minimal use of neural networks -- where sampling from complex distributions becomes both explainable and extrapolative. We highlight connections between score-based diffusion\, linearly-solvable Markov Decision Processes\, and energy-based models\, including emerging insights into phase transitions in generative AI (e.g.\, memorization and speciation dynamics).\n\nApplications span inference/sampling in Ising models\, CIFAR-10 image generation\, physics-informed reinforcement learning in turbulent flows\, and auto-regressive modeling of statistical hydrodynamics. We also touch on decision-making under uncertainty in energy systems.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What Can We Learn About Sex From Studying Fungi?
DESCRIPTION:Fungi pervade nearly all ecosystems as agents of nutrition\, nurture\, decay\, and disease. Yet\, most of their lives are cryptic\, buried in their food. Most noticeable for those who seek fungi is that we mostly find them when they attempt to reproduce. Fungi display a bewildering diversity in reproduction\, from bizarre spore morphology to unusual sexual strategies\, such as mating type and mate switching. \n\nAs part of the 2025 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS)\, Dr. Timothy Y. James will give a free\, public talk focused on the fascinating world of fungi. He will review patterns of evolutionary change in fungal reproduction over time and as fungi diversified into many unique branches on the fungal tree of life. These patterns provide the foundation to explore some of the unanswered questions in evolutionary biology regarding sex and why it is so widespread in all eukaryotes.\n\nJames\, who teaches the Field Mycology course at UMBS\, is a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Michigan\, the curator of fungi at the University Herbarium\, and the Lewis E. Wehmeyer and Elaine Prince Wehmeyer Chair in Fungal Taxonomy.\n\nJames received his Bachelor of Science in botany from the University of Georgia and his Ph.D. from Duke University. His scholarship focuses on reconstructing the Fungal Tree of Life and using genomics to determine fungal mating systems\, ecology\, and life histories. His is a co-founder and director of the Midwest American Mycological Information educational non-profit\, and he is currently the president of the Mycological Society of America.\n\nThe U-M Biological Station — the largest of U-M's campuses at more than 10\,000 forested acres surrounded by lakes — is one of the nation's largest and longest continuously operating field research stations.\n\nFounded in 1909\, the Biological Station supports long-term research and education. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS\, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so our community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free\, public talks are on Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston\, Michigan — about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Behind the Curve: Rainbows and the Science and Culture of Color
DESCRIPTION:We have many significant books from the history of our understanding of rainbows and color theory\, from the writings of scholar Ḥasan Ibn al-Haytham to Isaac Newton’s 1704 Opticks. Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

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

SUMMARY:Well-being:Learn to Meditate in 3 days
DESCRIPTION:Make meditation part of your goal to strengthen your mental well-being. Discover three core practices—meditation\, rejuvenation\, and inner connect in just three session.\n\nMeditation is a mindful journey for regulating your mind. It’s like a mental workout\, training the mind to focus on a single thought amid the 60\,000 that pass through daily. With 3 core practices it cultivates effortless concentration\, heightened awareness\, and presence in the moment\, allowing a shift from thinking to feeling. Meditation also leads to a deeper state of relaxation\, regulating the stress response and promoting numerous health benefits.\n\nThe session will be guided by a trainer via Zoom meeting for all 3 days from noon to 1 p.m. All U-M students\, faculty\, and staff are welcome to join at no cost. No prior experience with meditation is required.\n\nEvent Details\n*When: Every month for 3 days (attending all 3 sessions is recommended)*\n\nThe session is Remote over Zoom and upon registration you will have the Zoom MeetingId and Passcode\nSee Related Links for registration\n\nThis wellness program is coordinated by Information Technology and Services (ITS) Teaching & Learning\, and is provided at no cost by heartfulness.org.\n\nJoin the MCommunity group for email updates – Meditation for wellness

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution. A century later\, it was an abandoned building with an uncertain future. From cornerstone to keystone\, from the first director to the people who saved it from destruction\, explore the life of a historic observatory 170 years in the making.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is being developed by student docents at the Detroit Observatory. They are currently collaborating with a museum design firm on the final version of the exhibit\, which will debut in fall 2025. We invite you to check out what they've done so far.\n\nPresented by the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory\, part of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is now on display at the Detroit Observatory (1398 Ann Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109). View the exhibit during the Observatory's open hours: \nThursdays\, 12-5 pm\nFridays\, 12-5 pm

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Deep Learning-Assisted Approximate Bayesian Inference with Applications to Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:Approximate Bayesian methods provide a principled means for inference in settings in which exact posterior inference is intractable. In this work\, I present methods for variational inference\, an approach to approximate Bayesian inference in which an approximation to the posterior is selected by numerical optimization. The approaches and analysis primarily consider amortized variational inference\, a class of techniques that leverages deep learning to obtain a mapping from data instances to variational approximations of the posterior. First\, I present SMC-Wake\, a likelihood-based approach for minimization of the forward KL divergence. This algorithm uses Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) samplers to construct inexpensive particle approximations for training an inference network. Next\, I present a study of neural posterior estimation (NPE) and its objective function\, the expected forward KL divergence. This likelihood-free approach to amortized inference averages over large amounts of simulated data from the model to learn mappings from data instances to variational approximations of the posterior. I present an analysis of this approach from the perspective of neural tangent kernel (NTK) theory. Under certain conditions on the variational family and neural network mapping\, I show that NPE optimizes a convex functional and reliably converges to a unique solution in the asymptotic infinite-width limit\, despite the highly nonconvex nature of neural network optimization landscapes. Finally\, I extend these results to posit a novel class of expressive variational families based on linear combinations of basis functions\, and propose a procedure to adaptively fit these basis functions to parameterize complex distributions. When targeting the forward KL divergence within this framework\, the objective is convex in the variational parameters\, but nevertheless allows for practitioners to fit highly multimodal variational approximations to the posterior. We conclude with applications of these methods to difficult problems in astronomy\, such as redshift estimation from astronomical images\, and the task of detecting blended astronomical spectra.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Rigorous Derivation of the Wave Kinetic Equation for \beta-FPUT System
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nWhile the WKE has been rigorously derived for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in dimensions d\ge 2 and for the Majda–McLaughlin–Tabak model in d=1\, there is still lack of rigorous justification for the \beta-FPUT model whose sinusoidal dispersion and unconserved frequency shift pose additional obstacles. In this thesis\, we establish the WKE for a reduced evolution equation\, removing the nonresonant terms\, from the one‑dimensional \beta-FPUT chain. We work in the kinetic limit N \to \infty and \beta \to 0 under the scaling laws \beta=N^{-\gamma} with 0<\gamma<1. The result holds up to the sub‑kinetic time scale T=N^{-\epsilon}\min(N\, N^{5/4\gamma})=N^{-\epsilon}T_{kin}^{5/8} for \epsilon\ll1\, where T_{kin} represents the kinetic (thermalization) timescale. We also prove a sufficient upper bound for the nonlinearity parameter $\beta$ that allows one to perform the canonical transformation on the original evolution equation. This upper bound suggests a scaling between \beta and N\, which governs the importance of the non-resonant terms in the original equation. By applying the symplectic integrator method\, we further develop numerical studies on the  \beta-FPUT model\, comparing the magnitudes of resonant and nonresonant sums across various nonlinearity strengths and particle numbers to verify the predicted \beta-threshold.
