After the film\, there will be a Q&A with director Harada.\n \n Our film series begins with a historical cycle of three films centered on major breaks in Japanese history. The first film\, *Sekigahara\,* describes the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600. This dramatic conflict marked the end of the Warring States period and the beginning of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The narrative explores the political struggles leading up to this significant event\, in which Tokugawa Ieyasu’s Army of the East defeated Ishida Mitsunari’s Army of the West. It highlights the intrigues and shifting loyalties among various retainers\, family members\, and samurai involved in the conflict.\n \n Presented in Japanese with English subtitles.

Randomly arranged books\, each containing exactly 410 pages\, fill the Library of Babel’s infinite expanse of interlocking hexagonal rooms\, encompassing all knowledge that currently exists or may exist in the future while paradoxically offering no true enlightenment. Shaw and Kahane invite audiences to contemplate the joy\, grief\, wonder\, and bewilderment that spring from a life oversaturated in information.\n\nPROGRAM\nCaroline Shaw and Gabriel Kahane The Library of Babel (UMS Co-Commission)\nAdditional works to be announced UID:121966-21847858@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121966 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:American Culture,Ann Arbor,Anthropology,Art,art and design,artists,artists and curators,arts,concert,Culture,Energy,Folk Music,In Person,Literary,Mindfulness,music,performance,piano,Social,Storytelling,UMS,university musical society,Voice,Well-being LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Rackham Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250123T180010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250123T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250123T210000 SUMMARY:Other:Revive DESCRIPTION:Come and discover hidden gems in the Bible!  Every Thursday night\, 7:30-9:00PM\, we will have Revive at 2210 ABC in the Michigan Union.  Our usual agenda for this event includes singing\, hearing a spoken message\, and having breakout discussion.  This is a great opportunity to meet others who love the Lord Jesus and to learn more about His Word!  See you there!! 🙂\"Your word is a lamp to my feet / And a light to my path.\" (Psalm 119:105) UID:130344-21865785@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130344 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Michigan Union, 2210 ABC (Second Floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250123T180022 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250123T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250123T213000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Let's Discuss: Gun Control! - Roundtable Weekly Meeting DESCRIPTION:Roundtable is a nonpartisan club that helps students develop their political views through research\, reflection\, and discussion.

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

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

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

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

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

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

Becoming and Unbecoming Imperial Subjects: Mobility\, Exclusion\, and (Real/Discursive) Borders DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores the making and unmaking of Ottoman imperial subjecthood\, and its legacy in the post-Ottoman states. It investigates the bureaucratic and legal reforms that enabled to define the Ottoman membership and the limits of belonging. Although the term “imperial citizenship” gained popularity in recent decades\, there are doubts about whether citizenship is suitable for the age of empires\, since imperial subjecthood was based on a rule of difference and exclusion rather than equality. By contextualizing the Ottoman nationality regime within other colonial empires of the late nineteenth century\, the workshop aims to demonstrate how colonial perceptions of governability and malleability informed the question of becoming Ottoman. The late Ottoman governments\, especially under Sultan Abdülhamid II and the Committee of Union and Progress perceived Ottoman nationality as a status that could be granted or revoked based on the perceived loyalty or sedition of various ethnoreligious communities.\n \n The workshop integrates the themes of mobility and nationality\, exploring how the management of nationality was intertwined with various forms of mobility\, such as non-Muslim emigration\, Muslim immigration\, pilgrimage\, exile\, and punitive displacement. The Ottoman state's differential treatment of the migrations of diverse ethnoreligious groups created a distinction among its subjects—some enjoyed the freedom to move with state permission\, while others faced forced relocation or restrictions on their mobility. This workshop convenes scholars who investigate how various ethnoreligious communities experienced Ottoman subjecthood across different regions\, including Istanbul\, the Ottoman East\, the Gulf\, Russian borderlands\, and the Balkans. The primary goal is to explore diverse perspectives on subjecthood\, nationality\, and citizenship\, and to assess the inclusivity or exclusivity of Ottoman nationality laws. The workshop aims to illuminate how the bureaucratic methods used to define Ottoman membership were integral to the broader governance strategies employed in the empire's final years.\n \nWORKSHOP SCHEDULE\n\n9.45-10.00 Welcome & Opening Remarks\nGottfried Hagen & Hazal Özdemir\n\n10.00-11.15 Keynote: Jessica Marglin\, University of Southern California\nReligion and Legal Belonging in the Ottoman Empire: Lessons from the History of Extraterritoriality in the 18th and 19th Centuries\n\n11.15-11.30 Break\n\n11.30-1.30 - 1st panel: Becoming and Unbecoming Imperial Subjects\nDiscussant: Devi Mays (University of Michigan)\; Chair: Julia Phillips Cohen (Vanderbilt University)\n\n• Berke Torunoğlu\, Bilkent University\nCalculated Contradictions: Ottoman-Russian Cooperation on Defining Imperial Subjecthood\, 1858–1864\n\n• Leyla Amzi-Erdogdular\, Rutgers University\nTransimperial Subjects and Interimperial Competition in Habsburg Ottoman Bosnia Herzegovina\n\n• Camile Cole\, Illinois State University\nWhat Did it Mean to be Ottoman in the Gulf\, c. 1900?\n\n• Marie Bossaert\, Université Clermont Auvergne\nThe Contours of Italianity: Italian Citizenship in the Late Ottoman Empire\n\n\n1.30-2.30 Lunch for Workshop Participants\n\n2.30 – 4.15 - 2nd panel: Denationalization from Imperial Decree to Practice\nDiscussant: Melanie Tanielian (University of Michigan)\; Chair: Gottfried Hagen (University of Michigan)\n\n• Hazal Özdemir\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\nThe Price of Ottoman Nationality: How to Renounce Your Subjecthood at the Turn of the Twentieth Century?\n\n• Emmanuel Szurek\, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales\nEthnic Cleansing via Labor Regulation?

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818022@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250121T080145 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250124T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250124T150000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Biomedical Engineering Virtual Career Pathways DESCRIPTION:This event is intended to help students studying Biomedical Engineering connect with employers for full-time\, internship and/or co-op positions.\n\nSign ups open on Wednesday January 22 at 7pm ET within Career Fair Plus. \n\nThis is a College of Engineering event and attendance is limited to students within the BME department.

It is often seen as a means to assumption-lean inference\, since it has important implications for generalization\, predictive inference\, and other statistical problems\, without requiring distributional assumptions on the data. To reap these benefits\, we should not leave stability as yet-another questionable assumption\, but we also should not restrict ourselves to using a handful of specific\, mathematically tractable algorithms that have been shown to be stable. In this talk\, we establish that bagging—averaging models trained on random subsets of data—automatically stabilizes any black-box algorithm\, with finite-sample guarantees controlled by the fraction of samples used in each subset. These results extend beyond prediction to any statistical method with outputs in a Hilbert space\, and to classification through a new 'inflated argmax' that adapts to model uncertainty. \n\nThis talk is based on joint work with Rina Foygel Barber and Rebecca Willett.\n\nhttps://jake-soloff.github.io/ UID:129241-21862369@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129241 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250124T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250124T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621501@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241107T172312 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250124T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250124T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Wonders of Water Community Art Exhibit DESCRIPTION:Fri\, Nov 29 2024 - Sun\, Jan 26 2025\, All day\nDive into the beauty and significance of North America's rivers with The Wonders of Water\, a community art exhibit that pays homage to the vital roles rivers play in our environment and society.

The film centers a seemingly impossible dialogue between Arno Michaelis\, a former Neo-Nazi gang founder and Pardeep Kaleka\, son of the Sikh Temple President\, Satwant Singh Kaleka\, one of seven people killed in the shooting attack at the Oak Creek Sikh Temple (Gurudwara) by a white supremacist in 2012. \n \nThe film installation explores what happens when – for over a decade – Pardeep and Arno committed to a path of restorative communication - to listen deeply and connect with what motivates each other in the genesis and aftermath of atrocity.\nHow does healing begin? From the toxic polarization\, division and extreme racist violence that resulted in one of the worst mass shootings at a religious site in American history\, Pardeep insists that complete healing must eventually be a collective process for all\, to liberate both sides.\nAt Stamps Gallery\, Impossible Conversations will be accompanied by a dialogue and research room as well as photomurals that expand on the themes of restorative justice\, gun violence\, and how to sustain difficult dialogues to combat extremism and toxic polarization. \nExhibition curated by Srimoyee Mitra. Impossible Conversations has been supported in part by the Arts Research: Incubation &\; Acceleration (ARIA) program of The University of Michigan Office of the Vice President Research and the Arts Initiative\, Institute of Firearm Prevention Pilot Grant\, the Stamps School of Art and Design\, and the University of the Arts London. \nExhibition Programs\nAn Opening Screening\, Talkback\, and Reception will take place on Friday\, January 17\, 2025 from 5:30 – 8 p.m.\, and a Symposium will take place on Saturday\, January 18\, 2025 from 10 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. \nAbout the Artists\nPratāp Rughani is a writer and non-fiction filmmaker. His work develops documentary practice to enable people of radically different perspectives come into relation\, sometimes in the aftermath of violence and atrocity for example in South Africa\, Aboriginal Australia\, Europe\, Rwanda and the USA. Configuring a pro-filmic space to enable shared “witnessing” and the path towards restorative justice is a driving force in “Impossible Conversations” evolving through his practice in over thirty documentary films and exhibitions for BBC TV\, Channel 4\, Modern Art Oxford\, galleries and activist groups. The ethics of giving sustained attention to the experiences of marginalized\, excluded or sometimes reviled “others” and bringing them in relationship to the broader culture is central to his research into ethics of storytelling and the development of “Restorative Narrative.”\nRughani writes widely on the ethics of creative practice\, serves on several editorial Boards\, has won awards for film\, teaching\, and research\, and is Professor of Documentary Practices at the University of the Arts\, London.\nDavid Chung is an acclaimed visual artist and filmmaker. His work focuses on how identities are shaped in immigrant communities and the challenges of refugees as they integrate into new homelands.\nChung has exhibited his drawings\, prints\, and video installations at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts\, the Asia Society\, the Walker Arts Center\, the Studio Museum in Harlem\, the Gwangju Biennale\, the Smithsonian Institution\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Chung has received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and the National Board Film Board of Canada's Award for Best Documentary Film. He was the 2013 Kim Koo Visiting Professor at Harvard University. \nChung is a professor and the director of the MFA Graduate Program at the University of Michigan Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design.

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

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

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

Much of their controversy stems from the very fact that the primary “items” stored and displayed in these museums were once living organisms. Because most natural history museums are associated with large research collections and universities\, they often house thousands (if not millions) of specimens. Tasked with the burden of accurately representing biodiversity\, history\, climate\, evolution\, and humanity’s role in all of these\, natural history collections are continuously undergoing physical and organizational changes to meet these ever-changing fields. \n\nHowever\, the wealth of knowledge and recent advances in museum-based scientific techniques (CT-scanning\, museomics\, etc.) provide a world of inspiring and innovative new ways to use these collections. These methods are especially important when examining historically-significant and rare museum specimens\, as each organism in these collections represent a unique snapshot of a place and time that cannot be replicated. \n\nIn this talk\, Hayley Crowell ((PhD Candidate\, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology) will use the Natural History Museum of Denmark as a case study to discuss these issues from both a historic and modern perspective\, starting from its early origins as one of Europe’s first Kunstkammer (“Cabinet of Curiosities”) to its current role as a leading research institute in Europe. Along the way\, I will also share a series of anecdotes about the bizarre and surprising adventures that come with working in an early zoological collection.

A vast empirical literature has documented that\, in the Global North contexts that afford greater choice and material abundance\, people tend to see themselves as more independent than interdependent actors and to be more motivated by personal interests and autonomy over social norms and obligations. However\, the literature on self\, motivation\, and behavior suffers from glaring gaps in low resource Global South contexts. An agenda on ‘culturally wise’ interventions seeks to fill this gap by experimentally comparing different culturally grounded behavioral science approaches across diverse contexts. Building on theoretical principles of wise interventions (Walton & Wilson\, 2018) and culture match (e.g.\, Markus\, 2016\; Stephens et al.\, 2012)\, culturally wise interventions are attuned to how culturally specific models of self\, motivation\, and relationality can exert powerful effects on meaning making and behavior. In this talk\, I will define “culturally wise interventions” and their theoretical foundations. I then show experimental tests of culturally wise interventions in the lab in Kenya (N=565) and the field in Niger (N=4\,712\, N=2\,628) and illustrate how these interventions can be leveraged to address complex social issues\, including mitigating poverty and inequality. Through experimental evaluations of such intervention approaches in understudied contexts\, this research agenda seeks to advance a more comprehensive account of human behavior as well as strategies for promoting psychological\, social\, and economic well-being around the globe.

At the crux of human bipedalism and childbirth is the ilium\, which evolved to be shorter\, broader\, and parasagittally curved\, compared to cranio-caudally tall\, coronally-oriented ilia of other apes. The evolutionary genetic mechanisms that generated this unique iliac form remain unknown. Here\, using histological\, morphological\, comparative genomic and functional genomic approaches on ethically collected human samples and museum-collected prenatal primates\, we reveal that underlying this human iliac shape are two key developmental shifts. First\, the human iliac growth plate underwent a spatial shift in orientation\, residing perpendicular to that present in all other primate and mouse ilia. Using molecular methods\, we discovered human accelerated sequence changes in numerous molecular pathways\, permitting undifferentiated iliac skeletal cells to shift the direction of their outgrowth. Second\, the human ilium experienced a timing shift in bone ossification unlike that observed for human long-bones\, or in non-human primate ilia and long-bones. Human iliac ossification initiates at the posterior border\, then radiates anteriorly\, but remains external with external cells contributing initially to the production of bone. Compared to chimpanzees and other primates\, humans delayed internal ossification of the ilium compared to other long bones. Underlying this shift are regulatory changes in other molecular pathways. The consequence of these shifts is a human pelvis that can grow\, permit proper muscle orientation and function\, all-the-while retaining its complex unique human shape for walking and birthing functions later in life.”\n\nTerence D. Capellini is a Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. His undergraduate education was at Binghamton University\, where he was an Anthropology major focusing on human skeleton evolution. This was followed by his Masters Degree research at Kent State University\, where he studied archaeological assemblage formation\, and human skeletal evolution. He acquired his MPhil and Ph.D from the New York Consortium in Evolutionary Primatology (C.U.N.Y) working in the laboratory of Licia Selleri (Weill Cornell Medicine) on the development of the skeleton\, and then performed his post-doctoral research in the laboratory of David Kingsley (Stanford University) on the genetics of skeletal evolution. His interdisciplinary lab at Harvard bridges functional genomics and genetics\, developmental biology\, medical genetics\, and paleoanthropology. His lab is currently focusing on how gene regulation shapes different bones of the human skeleton\, how interbreeding with Neandertals facilitated human skeletal adaptations\, and how alterations to gene regulation during human evolution have not only facilitated skeletal adaptations but influenced the modern world-wide risk of bone diseases\, such as joint-specific osteoarthritis.

Aristotle\, by contrast\, took these propositions to be of the same logical form. In his view\, both are simple categorical propositions in which one being is predicated of another being\, universal or particular. I shall argue that Aristotle adopted this view because he thought that it provides a metaphysically perspicuous representation of the structure of beings underlying a science. Thus\, while his system of categorical logic does not possess the deductive and expressive power of Frege's system\, it is well suited for representing what Aristotle took to be explanatory scientific demonstrations.\n\nMarko Malink is Professor of Philosophy & Classics. He received an M. A. from the University of Leipzig (2004)\, where he studied Logic and Ancient Greek. He earned a Dr. Phil. in Philosophy from Humboldt University of Berlin (2008). His primary area of research is ancient philosophy\, especially ancient logic and metaphysics. Malink also has interests in the history of logic\, philosophy of language\, and linguistics. His book Aristotle’s Modal Syllogistic was published by Harvard University Press in 2013. Some of his articles were selected for inclusion in The Philosopher's Annual\, which aims to collect the ten best articles published in philosophy each year (2013\, 2016\, 2018).

If P is a 0-1 matrix\, Ex(P\,n) is the maximum number of 1s in an n x n 0-1 matrix that does not contain any submatrix that dominates P. Every 0-1 pattern P can be regarded as the incidence matrix of a bipartite graph\, in which the two sides of the bipartition are ordered. Thus\, this definition can be seen as a generalization of the Turan extremal function (for subgraph avoidance).\n\nPattern-avoiding 0-1 matrices have been studied since the late 1980s\, and yet the precise relationship between 0-1 matrices and Turan theory is still poorly understood. For many years the foremost open problem has been to characterize the extremal functions of acyclic patterns (those whose graphs correspond to forests). In 2005 Pach and Tardos conjectured that Ex(P\,n) = O(n polylog(n)) for any acyclic P. We give a simple refutation of the Pach-Tardos conjecture by giving a class of acyclic patterns for which Ex(P\,n) > n 2^{sqrt{log n}}.\n\nJoint work with Gábor Tardos.

Atiya Husain traces the origins of the FBI wanted poster form to the work of nineteenth-century social scientist Adolphe Quetelet\, specifically his overvalued type of human called “average man.” Husain argues that this notion of the human continues to structure wanted posters\, as well as much contemporary social scientific thinking about race. Focusing on the curious representations on the Most\nWanted Terrorist list that range from Muslims who lack a race category on their posters to the 2013 addition of Black revolutionary Assata Shakur\, Husain demonstrates the ongoing influence of the average man and its relevance even today\, proposing a counterweight to the category by engaging Shakur’s turn to Islam in the 1970s in the legal context. In doing so\, Husain shows the limitations of race as an analytical category altogether.

The strength of F is equal to the minimum number r such that F = G_1 + ... + G_r\, where G_i are reducible homogeneous polynomials. This invariant captures remarkable geometric properties of X. For example\, when K is algebraically-closed\, the strength of F bounds the codimension of the singular locus of X. This invariant is also studied in the context of number theory and additive combinatorics\; we will discuss these contexts in addition to connections to recent developments in geometry.

Trautmann Honorary Lecture | Elephants and Ecology - Expanding the Parameters of Trautmann’s Land Ethic DESCRIPTION:*A New Yorker “Best Book of 2024” Selection*\n\n*“Mr. Olivelle has produced an outstanding monument of scholarship and sound judgment.”—Maxwell Carter\, Wall Street Journal*\n\nAttend via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/3QbbD\n\nWhy are there no elephants in China? And\, by way of contrast\, why have there been and continue to be large numbers of elephants in the Indian subcontinent across its geography and throughout its recorded history? Why are these two largest countries of Asia so different in their attitudes towards the elephant? These questions are addressed in Thomas Trautmann’s groundbreaking masterpiece Elephants and Kings: An Environmental History. Trautmann introduces the concept of ‘land ethic’ in his explanation of the divergent ecological histories of the two countries. Olivelle's paper is a small contribution to furthering our understanding of the Indian land ethic\, expanding on Trautmann’s definition focused on the Indian war elephant and the establishment of elephant forests. The paper presents four further facets of the land ethic: economic\, recreational\, religious\, and aesthetic.\n \n Patrick Olivelle was the chair of Religious Studies at Indiana University\, Bloomington\, and of Asian Studies at the University of Texas\, where he is currently Professor Emeritus. He also was the past President of the American Oriental Society and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He received the honorary doctorate of Humane Letters from the University of Chicago in 2016 and the Guggenheim Fellowship in 1996. His recent book Ashoka: Portrait of a Philosopher King was included in The New Yorker’s The Best Books of 2024.

Starting with work of Masur and Minsky in the late 1990s\, curve graphs became a central tool for understanding objects in low dimensional topology and geometry. Since then\, their influence has reached far beyond what might have been anticipated. Part of the talk will be an expository account of this remarkable story.\n\nMuch more recently\, non-trivial examples of totally geodesic subvarieties of moduli spaces have been discovered\, in work of McMullen-Mukamel-Wright and Eskin-McMullen-Mukamel-Wright. Part of the talk will be an expository account of this story and its connections to dynamics.\n\nThe talk will conclude with new joint work with Francisco Arana-Herrera showing that the geometry of totally geodesic subvarieties can be understood using curve graphs\, and that this is closely intertwined with the remarkably rigid structure of these varieties witnessed by the boundary in the Deligne-Mumford compactification.

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

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\n\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

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

The film centers a seemingly impossible dialogue between Arno Michaelis\, a former Neo-Nazi gang founder and Pardeep Kaleka\, son of the Sikh Temple President\, Satwant Singh Kaleka\, one of seven people killed in the shooting attack at the Oak Creek Sikh Temple (Gurudwara) by a white supremacist in 2012. \n \nThe film installation explores what happens when – for over a decade – Pardeep and Arno committed to a path of restorative communication - to listen deeply and connect with what motivates each other in the genesis and aftermath of atrocity.\nHow does healing begin? From the toxic polarization\, division and extreme racist violence that resulted in one of the worst mass shootings at a religious site in American history\, Pardeep insists that complete healing must eventually be a collective process for all\, to liberate both sides.\nAt Stamps Gallery\, Impossible Conversations will be accompanied by a dialogue and research room as well as photomurals that expand on the themes of restorative justice\, gun violence\, and how to sustain difficult dialogues to combat extremism and toxic polarization. \nExhibition curated by Srimoyee Mitra. Impossible Conversations has been supported in part by the Arts Research: Incubation &\; Acceleration (ARIA) program of The University of Michigan Office of the Vice President Research and the Arts Initiative\, Institute of Firearm Prevention Pilot Grant\, the Stamps School of Art and Design\, and the University of the Arts London. \nExhibition Programs\nAn Opening Screening\, Talkback\, and Reception will take place on Friday\, January 17\, 2025 from 5:30 – 8 p.m.\, and a Symposium will take place on Saturday\, January 18\, 2025 from 10 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. \nAbout the Artists\nPratāp Rughani is a writer and non-fiction filmmaker. His work develops documentary practice to enable people of radically different perspectives come into relation\, sometimes in the aftermath of violence and atrocity for example in South Africa\, Aboriginal Australia\, Europe\, Rwanda and the USA. Configuring a pro-filmic space to enable shared “witnessing” and the path towards restorative justice is a driving force in “Impossible Conversations” evolving through his practice in over thirty documentary films and exhibitions for BBC TV\, Channel 4\, Modern Art Oxford\, galleries and activist groups. The ethics of giving sustained attention to the experiences of marginalized\, excluded or sometimes reviled “others” and bringing them in relationship to the broader culture is central to his research into ethics of storytelling and the development of “Restorative Narrative.”\nRughani writes widely on the ethics of creative practice\, serves on several editorial Boards\, has won awards for film\, teaching\, and research\, and is Professor of Documentary Practices at the University of the Arts\, London.\nDavid Chung is an acclaimed visual artist and filmmaker. His work focuses on how identities are shaped in immigrant communities and the challenges of refugees as they integrate into new homelands.\nChung has exhibited his drawings\, prints\, and video installations at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts\, the Asia Society\, the Walker Arts Center\, the Studio Museum in Harlem\, the Gwangju Biennale\, the Smithsonian Institution\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Chung has received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and the National Board Film Board of Canada's Award for Best Documentary Film. He was the 2013 Kim Koo Visiting Professor at Harvard University. \nChung is a professor and the director of the MFA Graduate Program at the University of Michigan Penny W.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621502@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250115T181509 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250125T110100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250125T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Stampede DESCRIPTION:Born from their passion for the arts\, The Stampede is a student-led organization building a new space for artists. In September 2023\, four undergraduates united with a simple mission: to create a space for showcasing exciting new art work. They established a foundation and worked to build a buzz through outreach and excitement. The Stampede first hosted a pop-up exhibition (party) at a friend's house\, exhibiting 53 pieces of original work\, with food\, drink\, and music\, and a smashing turnout from the local community. They have since evolved\, developed an infrastructure\, and grown into a platform for dynamic art work.\nToday\, The Stampede curates and facilitates exhibitions and events that bring together artists\, writers\, and musicians. From pop-ups and art markets to concerts and gallery shows\, they provide a vibrant platform for creativity for the community. The organization has broken new ground on multiple accounts to pave new ways for artists today and tomorrow\; bridging the divide between student and school. Functioning as an artist collective\, The Stampede focus on creating large-scale artworks\, promotional materials\, and merchandise for their events.\nThis exhibition offers a glimpse behind the scenes of The Stampede: its origins\, current endeavors\, and future aspirations. Since its inception\, The Stampede has continuously surprised with its growth and transformation. Committed to providing opportunities for artists\, they will keep hosting events for their community and friends.\nJoin The Stampede in their journey\; they invite you to... RUN WITH US!

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan.

Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818024@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250126T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250126T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621503@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011729 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250126T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250126T120000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Discovery Demo: All About Owls DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for a 15-20 minute engaging science demonstration that will help you see the world in a whole new way.

We’ll look at fairies and clowns\, writers and painters\, arabesques and castanets\, and along the way we’ll encounter the many issues of race\, gender\, colonialism and nationalism that affected (and afflicted) Paris c. 1900.\n\nCATHERINE KAUTSKY\, Chair of Keyboard at Lawrence University in Appleton\, WI\, has been lauded by the *New York Times* as “a pianist who can play Mozart and Schubert as though their sentiments and habits of speech coincided exactly with hers … The music spoke directly to the listener\, with neither obfuscation nor pretense.” She was the 2016 winner of the Lawrence Excellence in Teaching Award\, the 2013 winner of the university’s Faculty Convocation Award\, and in 2017 she was honored with the George and Marjorie Olsen Chandler Chair in Music. Her recording of the Debussy *Preludes*\, released by Centaur in September 2014\, was said to “bring out all the power\, majesty\, and mystery of Debussy’s conception\,“ and a recording of the complete Brahms *Sonatas for Violin and Piano* was released in 2019 to top reviews. Ms. Kautsky\, whose teachers included Rosina Lhevinne\, Gyorgy Sebok\, Leon Fleisher\, Martin Canin\, and Gilbert Kalish\, has concertized widely\, performing in major halls such as Alice Tully Hall\, Carnegie Recital Hall\, the Phillips Collection\, Jordan Hall\, and the Chicago Cultural Center. She has soloed with numerous orchestras\, including the St. Louis Symphony and Milwaukee Chamber Orchestra\, and appeared frequently on public radio. Two sabbaticals were spent in Paris preparing performances and research on Debussy\, and she has played\, taught\, and presented masterclasses on six continents. Known as both a solo and collaborative performer\, Ms. Kautsky has performed chamber music at the Aspen\, Tanglewood\, and Grand Teton Festivals.\n\nMs. Kautsky\, whose students have won prizes across the country and gone on to leading graduate programs\, has taught at Lawrence University Conservatory of Music since 1987\, with a 6 -year hiatus as piano faculty and chair of the Keyboard Dept. at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Known for her cross-disciplinary interests\, she was awarded the Arts Institute Creative Arts Award at UW-Madison and has presented frequently at national conferences on such topics as “On the Trail of Chopin and George Sand\,” “WWI: A Centenary Look at the Musical Wars\, “ and “Celebrating Debussy and the Arts du Spectacle.” Her articles have appeared in Clavier Companion\, American Music Teacher\, and International Piano\, and her book\, *Debussy’s Paris: Piano Portraits of the Belle Epoque*\, was published by Rowman & Littlefield in September 2017. Reviewed by Booklist as \"a fascinating fusion of music\, literature\, and social history\,\" it has won accolades from eminent pianists across the country. Ms. Kautsky is also deeply concerned with the role music plays in society and administers a series of prison concerts in WI as well as heading a chapter of Music for Food.\n\nMs. Kautsky has just released a 24 video set\, “Great Works for the Piano” for *Great Courses/Wondrium*\, and is also presenting courses on piano literature for the Juilliard Extension Division and the 92nd Str. Y of New York City. Her current performances and research center on the music of Vienna in the years during and directly preceding the Holocaust\, and she has recently returned from presenting and performing at the Relais de Mémoire in Vienna. She holds a bachelor’s degree from the New England Conservatory\, a master’s from the Juilliard School\, and a doctorate from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.\n\nhttp://www.catherinekautsky.com UID:129678-21864307@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129678 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Culture,Free,Interdisciplinary,Lecture,Music,North Campus,Scholarship,Talk LOCATION:Earl V.

Hellenic-American artists Michael Malis\, Constantine Novotny\, and Ellie Falaris Ganelin explore these concepts through the convergence of music and poetry. The cornerstone of the program is Malis’s original song cycle\, \"Another Shore\, Another Country\,\" set to the poetry of C.P. Cavafy\, commissioned by ProMusica Detroit and premiered in February 2024. Cavafy\, who lived most of his life in Alexandria\, Egypt\, is the quintessential voice of the Greek diaspora and a prominent figure among 20th-century poets. \n\nThrough Ganelin’s and Malis’s own arrangements\, the trio performs songs of love and longing by Greek idols Mikis Theodorakis and Manos Hadjiadikis. These masterful colleagues born the same year (1925) each brought a new vision and prominence to Hellenic music through the radio in their homeland and in film worldwide. Rounding out the program is Malis’s solo piano work\, Hold Tightly Your Vision of How Things Could Be\, exploring his precarious sense of belonging between two worlds as the descendant of Greek immigrants living in America.

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

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

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

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

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

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

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

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

The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds. As part of Lenhart's American Women Concert Series\, this recital program celebrates the life\, legacy & music of Etta James (1938-2012).\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to  visit the Lurie Carillon.

A critical race and optimal distinctiveness analysis of school belonging research DESCRIPTION:Sense of belonging has long been recognized as a fundamental psychological need and essential component of achievement motivation and socioemotional thriving. However\, research on school belonging has only recently begun to examine the barriers to\, supports for\, and experiences of belonging among racially marginalized students of color within US schools and universities. Further\, within an era of DEIB (Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, & Belonging) discourse and backlash\, we have a limited understanding of what belonging means\, how it is internalized\, and what shapes it for such students of color. Through this lecture\, Dr. Matthews evaluates the developmental trends in school belonging research conducted with racially marginalized student populations and describes three distinct trends of school belonging research: assimilationist\, reformist\, and sociopolitical\, as well as the ideological characteristics of each trend. Further\, he employs critical race and optimal distinctiveness theories as conceptual guides to assess the affordances and limits of each trend and how the research literature has evolved across these three trends. Finally\, Dr. Matthews offers insights for responsibly advancing school belonging research in ways that authentically address the needs of racially marginalized student groups and honor the cultural and contextual nuance of their lived experiences.

His study focuses on the so-called “rural sanctuaries” of Sardinia during the Punic and Roman colonization of the island. Intriguingly\, these sanctuaries were repurposed prehistoric structures known as *nuraghi*. Current scholarship often associates these sites with a Demeter cult\; however\, Mattia’s research seeks to situate the interpretation of these sanctuaries within a broader archaeological framework.\n\nSpecifically\, he aims to examine the role and influence of Nuragic culture in the context of new colonial dynamics spanning the 4th–1st centuries BCE. By incorporating recent theoretical approaches to imperialism\, Mattia’s work addresses questions of continuity\, discontinuity\, and cultural transformation in relation to these sanctuaries and their associated cultic practices. Through this lens\, he hopes to provide a more nuanced understanding of the interplay between indigenous traditions and colonial systems in Sardinia during this transformative period.\n\nMattia Lauretti is a PhD student at Freie Universitaet Berlin in the Berlin Graduate School of Ancient Studies (BerGSAS) who is participating in IPAMAA this term. \n\nTo register for this Flash Talk\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/qSL1zvoMcQnWq43s8.

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

However\, there still remains a huge landscape of possible signals hiding in LHC data\, which is very difficult to fully cover with traditional strategies. Recently\, a new class of ‘anomaly detection’ techniques have been developed which aim to cover as much of this landscape as possible so that potential discoveries are not missed. These techniques leverage novel data-driven machine learning methods to minimize the trade-off between sensitivity and model independence. In this talk\, I will present results from the first application of anomaly detection in CMS : a search for resonances decaying to two jets with 'anomalous' substructure. I will also discuss future prospects for these techniques more broadly\, and how they may play a key role in a future\, robust LHC search program.
