SUMMARY:Performance:Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis
DESCRIPTION:Wynton Marsalis and the 15-piece Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra return to Hill Auditorium.\n\nSince its founding more than 35 years ago\, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra has simultaneously honored the rich heritage of Duke Ellington\, Count Basie\, and Louis Armstrong while presenting a stunning variety of new works from illustrious names\, many of whom perform regularly with the ensemble. From swinging to supple\, it’s all sheer jazz perfection — and no wonder their regular appearances are UMS audience favorites. “You know it’s a good gig when you can’t tell if the band or the audience is having more fun.” (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel)

SUMMARY:Performance:Mindy Smith
DESCRIPTION:Good things\, it’s often said\, come to those who wait. And yet\, as one of the great poets of our time also famously observed\, the waiting is the hardest part. Both truths have been proven once again on the journey to singer-songwriter Mindy Smith’s sixth studio album\, Quiet Town\, which brings a treasured musical voice back into the spotlight. \n\nA good rule of thumb when going to a Mindy Smith concert\, bring a hanky\, a tissue or an extra sleeve. Your tear ducts don’t know the difference between laughing tears and crying tears and you’ll likely be doing both. “Humor is how I compensate for singing so many sad tunes back-to-back\,” says Smith. \n\nMindy Smith is a Long Island-born\, Americana award - winning\, Nashville based singer-songwriter with a clear and honest passion for Americana\, jazz\, pop\, rock\, blues\, and folk. As a recording artist\, she has sold over 750k albums and singles and amassed over 175 million streams to date.\n\nHer original songs have been recorded and released by the likes of Alison Krauss\, Lee Ann Womack\, Faith Hill and most recently Danny Burns ft Sam Bush. Most recently\, Smith was the featured vocalist on Kenny Chesney’s charting single\, “Better Boat”.  Says Chesney\, “if you just close your eyes and listen to her voice -- I’m speaking for me --she brings calm\, she brings a sense that it’s all going to be all right”\n\nFans can look forward to hearing new songs from Quiet Town as well as beloved tracks from her previous albums during her live performances.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

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

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:Performance:Peter Mulvey
DESCRIPTION:\"One of the most accomplished guitarists you're ever likely to hear … utterly original” –The Irish Examiner\n\nPeter Mulvey has been a songwriter\, road-dog\, raconteur\, and almost-poet since before he can remember. In 1989 he spent a year in Ireland\, busking on the streets of Dublin and hitchhiking to whatever gigs he could find. Back stateside\, he spent a couple years gigging through the bars of his native Midwest before taking off for Boston\, where he returned to subway busking and coffeehouses. Small shows led to larger shows\, which eventually led to regional and then national touring. The wheels have not stopped since.\n \nTwenty albums\, one illustrated book\, thousands of live performances\, a TEDx talk\, a decades-long association with the National Youth Science Camp\, opening tours and gigs for luminaries such as Ani DiFranco\, Greg Brown\, Emmylou Harris and Chuck Prophet\, appearances on NPR\, an annual autumn tour by bicycle\, emceeing festivals\, hosting his own Lamplighter Sessions for years in Boston and in Wisconsin... he has built his life's work on collaboration\, on an instinct for the eclectic and the vital.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chimera
DESCRIPTION:*Chimera* is an immersive exhibition centered on a newly commissioned film\, also titled *Chimera*\, which fuses elements from Newsome's prior works *Hands Performance* and *Build or Destroy* with a new interquel film that bridges their narratives. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:On the World With the World
DESCRIPTION:*On The World With The World* is an exhibition of 40 artworks by over 24 artists from the Progressive Art Studio Collective (PASC) program. PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Red Summer: Racial Violence in the American Landscape\, 1917-1923
DESCRIPTION:The Red Summer portfolio represents the stories of various locations in the American landscape where racial violence (often characterized as “Race Wars” at the time) erupted between 1917 and 1923. 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.

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:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG: An introduction to the Kudla program
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This semester the RTG seminar will focus on the Kudla program. I will give an introduction to this program\, which seeks to understand the relation between arithmetic intersection theory on Shimura varieties and L-functions. While there are close connections to the body of conjectures relating algebraic cycles to L-functions (such as the Bloch-Beilinson conjectures)\, the Kudla program has some additional mysterious features. For instance\, in certain cases\, it involves not the leading Taylor coefficient of an L-function but rather the subleading term. Other topics that it is related to include the theory of the theta correspondence\, Kudla-Millson theory and Borcherds lifts. This talk will explain some of the history of the subject and how some of these ideas tie together. \n\nThe entire list of talks for the semester can be found at this link: https://umrep.github.io/\n\nAll are welcome to attend. If you are interested in giving a talk\, please send me an email!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: A higher Hida cuspidal Siegel Eisenstein family for GSp_4
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Eisenstein series arise from parabolic inductions of cuspidal representations of the Levi subgroup of the Siegel parabolic subgroup of GSp_4 contribute to the degree 1 coherent cohomology of automorphic vector bundles on Siegel 3-folds. Their constant terms involve special values of the standard L-function for GL_2\, which may be used to study related arithmetic problems. However\, the absence of a q-expansion principle in higher degrees limits the study of their integrality. In this talk\, we give a construction of explicit families of these Eisenstein cohomology classes that are integral within the framework of higher Hida theory\, and explain the key points that ensure their integrality.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Problematic Allies and the Limits of Visibility
DESCRIPTION:In the shift from the “white moderate” of the 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail to the “white liberal” of the 1967 Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? Dr. King signaled a critique of (purported) allyship. In the present\, political movements on the left are forced to contend with similar questions. Does a problematic ally count as an ally at all? With so much at stake in the present\, what\, if anything\, is worth sacrificing to solidarity? Cutting across decades of art history\, this talk examines a series of moments in which the question of problematic allyship has arisen for Black artists and image makers and for scholars who think and write about them (including myself). The particular tools of art history may come into play insofar as this problem intersects with issues of performance\, affect\, and visibility. But in an age of surveillance and repression\, should visibility have limits—and if so\, what might these questions teach us about how to do art history?\n\nRebecca Zorach teaches in the Department of Art History at Northwestern University\, with affiliations in programs in American Studies and Environmental Policy and Culture. She writes\, teaches\, and curates exhibitions on early modern European art\, contemporary activist art\, and art of the 1960s and 1970s\, particularly the Black Arts Movement. Her books include Temporary Monuments: Art\, Land\, and America’s Racial Enterprise (Chicago\, 2024)\, Art for People’s Sake: Artists and Community in Black Chicago 1965–1975 (Duke\, 2019)\, and Blood\, Milk\, Ink\, Gold: Abundance and Excess in the French Renaissance (Chicago\, 2005)\, along with the collaborative publications Gold: Nature and Culture (Reaktion\, 2015\, with Michael W. Phillips\, Jr.) and The Idol in the Age of Art: Objects\, Devotion\, and the Early Modern World (Routledge\, 2009\, edited with Michael Cole). Her current work addresses art and ecology\, public art\, and racial justice.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Professional Cultures and Inequality in STEM
DESCRIPTION:Can the culture of STEM help reproduce inequality? Professional cultures\, which give each discipline its particular “feel” and unite discipline members under a taken-for-granted system of meanings and values\, are not benign. Drawing from several NSF-funded studies\, articles\, and my recent book\, Misconceiving Merit\, I argue that these professional cultures can have built within them intersectional inequalities along gender\, race/ethnicity\, and LGBTQ+ status. I discuss the role of three particular cultural ideologies—the Schema of Scientific Excellence\, Depoliticization\, and the Meritocratic Ideology—in producing these disadvantages. I end by explaining why decisions (e.g. hiring\, promotion) that partially rely on assessments of individuals’ “fit” with professional cultures are particularly important to critically examine for their potential to contribute to inequality.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STeMS Speaker Series | Refashioning Race: How Global Cosmetic Surgery Crafts New Beauty Standards
DESCRIPTION:Cosmetic surgery was once associated with a one-size-fits-all approach\, modifying patients to conform to a single standard of beauty. As this surgery has become more accessible worldwide\, changing beauty trends have led to a proliferation of beauty standards for members of different racial groups. This research shows how surgeons generate and apply knowledge using racial categories and how this process is affected by transnational clinical and economic exchange. The talk draws on fieldwork conducted in the U.S. and Malaysia to show how surgeons act as gatekeepers to and producers of ideal\, racially legible appearances. Surgeons not only measure and organize but also elaborate upon racial differences in a globalized field of medicine. Ultimately\, I argue that cosmetic surgeons literally reshape race—both on patients’ bodies and the broader level of culture.\n\nAlka V. Menon is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Yale University and author of Refashioning Race: How Global Cosmetic Surgery Crafts New Beauty Standards. She studies the relationship between medicine\, technology\, and society\, with a focus on race and racism\, using cases from cosmetic surgery to medical AI apps. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the Social Science Research Council. She received her B.A. in the Biological Sciences from Cornell University and her Ph.D. in Sociology from Northwestern University.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Subdivisions\, valuations\, and the rank function
DESCRIPTION:Valuations are a classical tool in convex geometry\; examples include the Euler characteristic\, Lebesgue measure\, and mixed volume. However\, in the past two decades\, valuations have also gained prominence in the theory of matroids. As every matroid gives rise to a matroid polytope\, one can develop a theory of subdivisions and valuations for matroids. In this talk\, we'll look at a family of valuations which serve as building blocks for many others\, and with this family\, we'll prove that the rank of the subsets of a matroid is a valuation.

DESCRIPTION:To address racial inequity and how the identities\, experiences\, and specific needs of Black students have been mostly ignored in language education\, \nwe must reckon with social justice problems of racism and anti-Blackness in research\, school programs\, teacher training\, curriculum\, and instructional practices. \nThis presentation explores how we can center Black students in language education and introduces a critical race pedagogy for language teaching to promote antiracism\, equity-mindedness\, and greater inclusivity and belonging for diverse types of marginalized populations.\n\nRomance Languages and Literatures DEI Committee

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dialectics of innovation: Embedding Prometheus into Athenian polytheism
DESCRIPTION:Midway in the performance of Prometheus Bound\, Prometheus describes to the chorus how he radically bettered human life through the invention of many practical arts\, ranging from carpentry to medicine\, divination\, and metallurgy. The catalog would have surprised Athenian spectators in many ways. Not only does it have no equivalent in the authoritative accounts of the Prometheus myth transmitted in Hesiod’s Theogony and Works and Days\, but the attribution of so many arts to a single divinity breaks away from the division of divine prerogatives that underlies Athenian polytheism. In this talk\, Ms. Hopman will show how PV both celebrates and acknowledges the theological provocation raised by Prometheus\, thus negotiating for its audience the challenge raised by the ascendant popularity of the trickster god in fifth-century Athens.\n\nMarianne Hopman (Ph.D. Harvard University and Paris Sorbonne) is a scholar of ancient Greek culture with an expertise in archaic and classical poetry and special interests in literary theory\, feminist studies\, animal studies\, posthumanism\, and the environmental humanities. She is the author of Scylla: Myth\, Metaphor\, Paradox (Cambridge University Press\, 2012)\, the co-editor of Choral Mediations in Greek Tragedy (Cambridge University Press\, 2013)\, and the author of articles on Homer\, Athenian tragedy\, and Greek hymns. Her current book project\, entitled Prometheus’ Gifts: Environment and Technology in Fifth-Century Athens\, draws on the fields of Classics and the environmental humanities to offer a contemporary reading of the fifth-century BCE tragedy Prometheus Bound as an attempt to come to grips with the question of how humans and their inventions fit into the world.\n\nHopman served as director of the French Interdisciplinary Group from 2012 to 2017 and chaired the Classics Department at Northwestern University from 2018 to 2022. Honors and fellowships include the John J. Winkler Memorial Prize\, a grant from the Loeb Classical Library Foundation\, and an AT&T Research Fellowship. In early 2015\, Professor Hopman was named a Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques by the French Ministry of Culture.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:German Film Series
DESCRIPTION:All Films screened in German with English subtitles.\n\nFebruary 3: *Kokon* (Cocoon\, 2020\, dir. Leonie Krippendorff)\nTime: food at 6\, film at 6:30pm\nLocation: North Quad 2435\nBerlin-Kreuzberg is Nora’s microcosm. Nora\, the silent observer\, drifts around the monotonous housing blocks with her big sister and her friends\, witnessing events that seem to cross-fade in the summer light. Girls who want to be slim and pretty\, boys who say dumb things to provoke or because they are in love. Ruthless smartphone cameras and fragile teenagers. But Nora has her own way of looking at the world\, and when she meets Romy\, she realizes why. This film captures a summer of change. (Berlinale 2020)\n\nMarch 10: *Sonne* (Sun\, 2022\, dir. Kurdwin Ayub) \nTime: food at 6\, film at 6:30pm\nLocation: North Quad 2435\nThree teenage girls from Vienna twerk in hijab and sing a pop song. A YouTube video of it makes them famous overnight\, especially among Kurdish Muslims. Yesmin\, the only one of the friends who is Kurdish herself\, begins to distance herself more and more from her culture. Nati and Bella\, on the other hand\, seem fascinated by a world that is strange to them. A film about young people caught between social media and self-discovery\, a story of rebellious young women. (Austrian Films)\n\nApril 7: *Oray* (2019\, dir. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay)\nTime: NO FOOD\, doors at 6:15pm\, film at 6:30pm\nLocation: *State Theater*\nOray strives to be a better person but struggles with his shady past.

But he is constantly torn between his faith\, everyday reality and identity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chimera
DESCRIPTION:*Chimera* is an immersive exhibition centered on a newly commissioned film\, also titled *Chimera*\, which fuses elements from Newsome's prior works *Hands Performance* and *Build or Destroy* with a new interquel film that bridges their narratives. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Red Summer: Racial Violence in the American Landscape\, 1917-1923
DESCRIPTION:The Red Summer portfolio represents the stories of various locations in the American landscape where racial violence (often characterized as “Race Wars” at the time) erupted between 1917 and 1923. 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.

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:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Presentation:Individualizing Climate Risk: Credit Score Penalties in the Home Insurance Market
DESCRIPTION:The climate crisis represents an unprecedented challenge for societal risk management\, and the American home insurance market has come under intense scrutiny as the consequences of climate change have worsened. While other insurance markets rely heavily on proxies of individual risk to set prices\, it is assumed that proxies of asset risk (e.g.\, construction quality) and environmental risk (e.g.\, flooding\, fire) dominate the risk-based pricing of home insurers. However\, as risk estimation and management have become increasingly individualized across the insurance industry broadly\, contemporary home insurers collect a vast amount of individual-level data from prospective buyers and use these variables in setting prices\, despite their tenuous connection to the underlying risk of insured events such as wildfires or hurricanes. In this study\, I use standardized industry data on home insurance quotes from 2021-2024 generated using 157 inputs about prospective buyers\, including policy details and home characteristics\, where all inputs are held constant except credit score and zip code. I find that the marginal effects of credit scores on prices are substantively large compared to the marginal effects of zip codes. A low credit individual living in a zip code at the 25th zip code risk percentile is quoted at the same price as a high credit individual living in a zip code at the 80th risk percentile. These findings have important equity implications\, as the most marginalized Americans have been filtered to the frontline of climate-related disasters in many regions of the country and now also bear a disproportionate financial burden in the redistribution of anticipated losses through private home insurance.

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:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Bats\, Rats\, and Immune Chats: How Introgression Shapes Parasite Susceptibility
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Tuesday Lunch Seminar Series.\n\nHybridization plays a complex role in nature\, driving adaptation and biodiversity by introducing genetic variation. In some cases\, it can enhance immune responses through hybrid vigor\, providing hybrids with advantages in combating infections. My research investigates the connections between hybridization\, immunogenetic diversity\, and parasite susceptibility in small mammals\, focusing on Myotis bats and Rattus rats—key reservoirs of diverse parasites. Specifically\, I will examine how ancestral hybridization influences RNA virus tolerance in Myotis bats and explore endoparasite resistance in hybrid populations of Rattus rattus and Rattus tanezumi. Beyond the scientific goals\, I am committed to increasing accessibility and inclusivity in science. Using insights from this research\, I am developing portable science escape rooms to engage students from third grade to high school in learning about ecology\, evolutionary biology\, and bat conservation. These escape rooms will be implemented in Michigan and Belize to spark curiosity and inspire underrepresented students to pursue careers in STEM fields.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Studying China in the Absence of Access: Relearning a Lost Art
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/Jw7A7\n\nAs our access to Chinese data sources becomes increasingly constrained\, many China scholars outside China have been scrambling to find new and innovative ways to mitigate these trends. One promising avenue is dusting off the tools Sinologists utilized from the 1960s through the 1970s\, when it was impossible to contemplate the access that many of us have been able to take for granted\, but which allowed these scholars to get so many things about China right. What are these skills—the analytical tools and the strategies to deploy them—and how might we be able to adapt them to the current research climate (and the foreseeable future)? This is the subject of the SAIS China Research Center’s first publication\, featuring four eminent Pekingologists – Joe Fewsmith\, Tom Fingar\, Alice Miller\, and Fred Tiewes. Access here: https://scgrc.sais.jhu.edu/publications/\n   \n   Andrew Mertha is the George and Sadie Hyman Professor of China Studies\, Director of the China Studies Program\, and Director of the SAIS China Research Center at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). From 2019 to 2021\, Mertha served as the Vice Dean for Faculty Affairs and International Research Cooperation at SAIS. He has held positions as formerly a professor of Government at Cornell University (2008-2018) and an assistant professor of Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis (2001-2008). And a Michigan PhD! Mertha specializes in Chinese bureaucratic politics\, political institutions\, and the domestic and foreign policy process. Since 2009\, he has extended his research interests to include Cambodia. He has articles appearing in The China Quarterly\, Comparative Politics\, International Organization\, Issues & Studies\, CrossCurrents\, and Orbis. His fourth monograph is forthcoming in May from Cornell University Press – Bad Lieutenants: The Khmer Rouge\, United Front\, and Class Struggle\, 1970–1997.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at chinese.studies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CAS Lecture. Diluted Wine\, Disguised Belief: Catholic Ethnography of the Armenian Rite in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
DESCRIPTION:Bogdan Pavlish\, 2024-2025 Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow in Armenian History\, University of Michigan\n\n   Lecture Abstract: When in the mid-1660s two Catholic missionaries arrived in Poland-Lithuania to bring local Armenians into union with Rome\, they faced an unexpected challenge. Armenian clergy and laypeople were ready to accept all but one of the Catholic conditions of unification\, namely the use of diluted wine in the Eucharistic ritual. Perplexed but resolved to prove them wrong\, the missionaries began to debate this arcane issue of Christian practice and theology using all available means\, including political intrigues\, historical arguments\, and ethnographic observations. This talk focuses on a missionary expedition to Armenians of Kamianets-Podilskyi at the Polish-Ottoman border in 1666 which started with a heated dispute over the Eucharist and resulted in a detailed ethnographic account of local religious life. It revealed deep-seated differences between Catholics and Armenians which went back to late antiquity but assumed a particularly distinct shape in post-Reformation Eastern Europe. Rooted in the local context and history of long-lasting contacts between different Christian confessions\, the encounter in Kamianets-Podilskyi reflected wider patterns of cross-cultural interactions in the early modern world.\n   \n   Speaker Bio: Bogdan Pavlish is a historian of early modern Eastern Europe whose research focuses on the Armenians of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. He is currently the 2024-25 Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow in Armenian History at the University of Michigan after having earned his PhD in history from Northwestern University in 2024. His dissertation\, entitled ‘Nothing Exotic but Ourselves: Cross-Cultural Encounters in the Armenian Diaspora of Poland-Lithuania in the Seventeenth Century\,’ examines the role of the Armenian communities of Lviv and other towns of present-day Ukraine in cultural\, commercial\, and diplomatic exchanges between Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Bogdan is currently working on his first book project\, which explores themes of distance\, difference\, and translation at the intersection of the early Armenian diaspora\, Catholic missionization\, and multicultural societies of Eastern Europe in the seventeenth century. His research draws on primary sources in several languages from archives and libraries in Ukraine\, Poland\, the Vatican\, and Armenia. His writings have appeared in the Journal of Early Modern History and Ab Imperio.\n\nRegister at https://umich.zoom.us/j/91400542424

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Scanning time-resolved optical studies on Kagome superconductors
DESCRIPTION:The kagome lattice provides a fascinating playground to study geometrical frustration\, topology and strong correlations. The newly discovered kagome metals AV_3Sb_5 (A = K\, Rb\, Cs) exhibit exotic phases including charge density waves (CDWs) and superconductivity. In our study\, we perform scanning birefringence and circular dichroism (CD) microscopy on CsV_3Sb_5. The scanning birefrigence demonsate six-fold rotational symmetry breaking in the CDW phase and three domains that are 120 degree to each other. The emergence of opposite CD domains within the same birefringence domain\, along with field-induced CD switching\, indicate broken time-reversal symmetry. Furthermore\, ultrafast pump-probe reflectivity measurements reveal a splitting of charge density wave induced phonon modes in all three birefringence domains. Such a breaking in degeneracy corroborates the six-fold rotation symmetry breaking in the charge ordered phase. I will also discuss the CDW fluctuations from the pump-probe measurement.\n\nReferences\n\n[1] Y. Xu\, Z. Ni\, Y. Liu\, B. Ortiz\, Q. Deng\, S. Wilson\, B. Yan\, L.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probing Electrochemical Reactivity Under Nanoconfinement in Layered Electrode Materials
DESCRIPTION:Electrochemical processes are vital for global decarbonization efforts because they are central to many energy-efficient storage and conversion technologies and can also be leveraged for large scale chemical manufacturing. In the context of these energy applications\, it is necessary to understand factors that control the kinetics and selectivity of electrochemical reactions. At the electrode level\, many factors\, including the chemical composition\, atomic or molecular structure\, surface area\, and morphology\, have been leveraged to direct electrochemical reactions. An emerging strategy is to geometrically confine the electrochemical reaction within a porous electrode material. This places a physical boundary around the electrochemical reaction and thus defines the reaction microenvironment\, while also spatially restricting the reactants and products. Experimental studies of nanoconfinement effects on electrochemical reactions require electrochemical interfaces with well-defined environments. In this presentation\, I will discuss our materials chemistry approach to define the confined electrochemical environment within molecularly pillared transition metal oxides\, and our study of electrochemical reactions taking place within these electrodes using in situ and operando electrochemical methods.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Charles Margossian\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Computational Mathematics\, Flatiron Institute
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Probabilistic models describe complex data generating processes and have been applied to a broad range of fields\, such as epidemiology\, pharmacology\, and astrophysics. Inference for probabilistic models poses significant computational challenges\, particularly as models grow in complexity and datasets increase in size. Modern hardware\, with its parallelization capabilities\, offers new opportunities to accelerate statistical inference. However\, many traditional methods are not inherently designed for parallel computation. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)\, for instance\, typically relies on a few long-running chains. I propose an alternative approach: running hundreds or thousands of shorter chains in parallel. To support this paradigm\, I introduce the nested “R-hat\,” a novel convergence diagnostic tailored for the many-short-chains regime\, paving the way for faster and more automated MCMC. \n\nNext I examine variational inference (VI). VI already leverages the parallelization capacities of modern hardware\, however it lacks the theoretical guarantees of MCMC and other statistical methods. I present two key theoretical results: (1) a positive result demonstrating that VI can effectively learn symmetries even under misspecified approximations\, and (2) a negative result revealing that factorized (or mean-field) approximations lead to an impossibility theorem\, preventing the simultaneous estimation of multiple measures of uncertainty . These findings provide practical guidance for selecting VI’s objective function and approximation family\, offering a path toward robust and scalable inference.\n\nhttps://charlesm93.github.io/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop that introduces principles and practices of equitable\, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.\n\n**This workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering\, Engaging\, and Exiting (E3) session. If you’ve attended that session in the past\, you’ll gain additional knowledge from this session.**\n\nRegister for a Session Here: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/16509

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Chimera
DESCRIPTION:*Chimera* is an immersive exhibition centered on a newly commissioned film\, also titled *Chimera*\, which fuses elements from Newsome's prior works *Hands Performance* and *Build or Destroy* with a new interquel film that bridges their narratives. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:On the World With the World
DESCRIPTION:*On The World With The World* is an exhibition of 40 artworks by over 24 artists from the Progressive Art Studio Collective (PASC) program. PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Red Summer: Racial Violence in the American Landscape\, 1917-1923
DESCRIPTION:The Red Summer portfolio represents the stories of various locations in the American landscape where racial violence (often characterized as “Race Wars” at the time) erupted between 1917 and 1923. 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.

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:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

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

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:Impossible Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Impossible Conversations is an exhibition and film installation by artists and filmmakers\, Pratāp Rughani and David Chung. 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 &amp\; 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.

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: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!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Environmental Humanities Workshop: Group Reading Discussion
DESCRIPTION:We hope you will join us for the first EHW event of the winter term! Together we will read \"Thinking Through the Environment\, Unsettling the Humanities\" (2012)--the introductory piece to the Environmental Humanities journal's first volume--and Kyle Whyte's more recent piece\, \"Against Crisis Epistemology\" (2021). Reading the evolution of the field across these two pieces\, we will discuss how the EH journal initially imagined what it meant to be engaged in this work versus now. What concerns defined EH at its discursive advent\, and in what ways have those investments remained the same and/or shifted? For those who do not necessarily consider themselves to be environmental humanists but are interested in learning more about how the field has been historically characterized\, this event may be of interest! You can register to receive the readings via Sessions. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Brown Bag Seminar | Hyperbolic Mass in 2+1 Dimensions
DESCRIPTION:Solutions to general relativity with a negative cosmological constant have received significant attention due to the conjectured AdS/CFT correspondence\, a particularly well-understood example of which is exhibited in 2+1 dimensions. After reviewing known vacuum solutions to general relativity with a negative cosmological constant in 2+1 dimensions\, I will present a gluing theorem for the corresponding vacuum general-relativistic initial data sets. By gluing two given vacuum initial data sets at infinity\, we obtain new vacuum initial data sets. I will sketch the derivation of the mass formulae of the resulting manifolds. For the case of the BTZ black hole\, by invoking usual black hole thermodynamics\, our mass formulae may be interpreted as entropy formulae. Our gluing theorem yields complete manifolds with any mass aspect function\, which are smooth except for one conical singularity.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Doing and Achieving Gender: Visualizations and New Methods in Time Use Research
DESCRIPTION:Time-use research offers a powerful lens to examine how individuals—women and men alike—allocate their time across daily activities\, thereby revealing crucial insights into social\, economic\, and behavioral inequalities. Drawing on the American Time Use Survey Extract Builder (ATUS-X)\, this talk will highlight how we can visualize the gendered dimensions of time allocation\, with potential applications ranging from policy-making to workplace reform advocacy.\n\nThe talk will discuss new methods for visualizing time-use data\, including tempograms\, transition diagrams\, and activity flow paths. It will also introduce updates to R packages specifically designed for researchers analyzing ATUS-X and other time-use data to generate clear and compelling visual narratives of daily time patterns—particularly those that underscore gender gaps in paid and unpaid work\, caregiving\, and leisure activities.\n\nIn addition to introducing these visualization tools\, the presentation will explore potential methodological innovations with sequence analysis and machine learning techniques. Sequence analysis offers opportunities to uncover temporal patterns and transitions across activities\, while machine learning applications—such as clustering and predictive modeling—can enhance our understanding of time-use behaviors and their implications.
