For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\" UID:146980-21900164@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260410T120040 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260411T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260411T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

Armenians Apart: Connections\, Disconnections\, and Tensions in Premodern and Modern Diasporas DESCRIPTION:Center for Armenian Studies\, University of Michigan\nApril 10-11\, 2026\n\nWebinar ID\n969 6198 7579\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/96961987579\n\nDiaspora studies tend to emphasize a set of loosely shared commonalities across space and time. This international graduate student workshop leans the other direction\, and instead asks: what can aspects of life that are not easily shared across a broader space teach us about the formation and maintenance of “diasporas\,” premodern or modern? \n\nCollectively\, this workshop seeks to explore tensions and overlooked connections across the Armenian diaspora\, as well as to envision fresh possibilities for writing local history against a broader geographic\, cultural\, or historical backdrop. How might medieval and modern diasporic peoples envision belonging (or not belonging) to something larger from the vantage point of local history? How does being local shape conceptions of other peoples\, including one’s own people\, in other places? What overlooked networks of connection also run through diasporas\, linking Armenians to something else\, such as other peoples\, empires\, trade routes\, linguistic communities\, or cross-cultural forms of art? \n\nIn short: what might being apart\, in whatever sense\, do? And where does apartness end\, and togetherness begin again? \n\nIn asking these questions\, Armenians Apart seeks to consider the linkages\, possibilities\, and drawbacks in thinking about “diaspora” as a cohort\, bringing the modern globe and the premodern world\, defined by connections that do not always translate to our contemporary moment\, into productive dialogue. Although this conference is centered in Armenian Studies\, it draws together cognate fields and case studies\, particularly those that raise fresh questions or propose theoretical interventions that resonate with the themes of the workshop.\n\nDAY ONE:\nWeiser Hall 555\n\n8:20: INTRODUCTIONS and Welcome: Kathryn Babayan\, Armen Abkarian\, Michael Pifer \n\n8:30-10:00: Panel 1: Misaligned Diasporas & Uneven Categories of Belonging\n∙ Arakel Minassian: Uneven Histories: Zaven Biberian at the Center of 20th Century Armenian Literary History\n∙ Lusine Tanajyan: Fragility of Armenian Belonging in Encounters between “Old” and “New” Diasporas: The Case of Armenians of Greece\n∙ Haley Zovickian: ‘We're Not Like Them’: Race\, Ottoman Legacies\, and Armenian Americans\nChair and Respondent: Anoush Suni\, University of Michigan\n\n10:00-10:10: Break\n\n10:10-11:45: KEYNOTE: Professor Devi Mays: “Diasporization and the Shaping of the Modern Sephardi World” \nAbstract: Diaspora is\, in the formulation of historian Matthias Lehmann\, “something that happens rather than something that is.” This talk explores the ways in which Ottoman and post-Ottoman Sephardi Jewish migrants maintained a transnational diaspora through networks of exchange\, communication\, and movement\, even in the face of increasingly restrictive migration and documentary regimes in the wake of World War I. By paying attention to the level of individuals-- who married whom\, conducted business with whom\, contracted business with\, and sued whom-- I explore how Sephardi Jews operated within a series of overlapping diasporas that intersected at key moments with others of Ottoman or Jewish backgrounds and diverged at others. These migrants often drew on similar tactics to sustain diasporic networks-- hypermobility\, multilinguality\, transnational connections\, strong familial ties\, patronage networks\, and engagement with extralegal practices. This allows us to see in sharp relief the active forging of a twentieth-century Sephardi diaspora\, similar in broad strokes to other Ottoman diasporic communities\, but whose details emphasize the resourcefulness of migrants who quickly learned how their specificities of religion\, language\, or citizenship could become a pretext for inclusion or exclusion.\n\n12:00-1:30: LUNCH\n\n1:30-3:00: Panel 2: Boundaries of Rule\, Script\, and Desire: Reimagining the Premodern Armenian Diaspora\n∙ Armen Abkarian: Between Knights and Nakharars: Armenian Kingship and Mobility in Medieval Cilicia\n∙ Greta Gasparyan: Artistic Transformations and Diasporic Identity in the Manuscript Tradition of New Julfa\n∙ Nicholas Crummey: “If Only he Wasn’t Armenian!

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

This hybrid conference will explore the role of treaties in the development of both the University of Michigan and the state of Michigan\, while considering how their effects continue to resonate locally\, regionally\, and nationally today for an Indigenous present and future.\n\nThe conference will bring together members of Anishinaabe Tribal communities\; U-M faculty\, staff\, and students\; K-12 educators\; scholars\; tribal historians\; and community activists for roundtable discussions\, panels\, and workshops that aim to inform and connect with non-specialist audiences.\n\nConference sessions will focus on key themes that include the role of treaties in the founding and development of the University of Michigan\, such as the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs\; the ongoing impact of 19th-century treaty agreements on tribal communities in the region\; and the ways in which these treaties continue to shape contemporary Native activism and legal efforts. Discussions will also explore the broader histories of colonization and Indigenous dispossession across what is now the state of Michigan and the Midwest region of the U.S\, with an eye to how local and regional histories provide valuable insights into broader national patterns.\n\nThe conference is free and open to all\, and will be livestreamed and recorded. Registration is encouraged but not required. We will send out reminder emails and event updates when you register.\n\nThe Living with Treaties: The 1817 Project\, the University of Michigan\, and the Western Expansion of the United States Conference is part of The 1817 Project: Land\, Culture\, Memory\, and Repair\, one of the major research initiatives of the University of Michigan’s Inclusive History Project. Led by Eric Hemenway\, Bethany Hughes\, and Michael Witgen\, The 1817 Project is a multi-disciplinary examination of the foundational land transfer by the Ojibwe\, Odawa\, and Boodewaadamii nations in the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs (also known as the Treaty of the Maumee Rapids)\, which was part of the University of Michigan’s 1817 origins in Detroit and subsequent relocation to Ann Arbor\, as well the university’s ongoing connections to Indigenous land and contemporary issues of Native American student experience.

A Roundtable on Indigenous History\n\nThis keynote roundtable will bring together several renowned Indigenous scholars with expertise in Indigenous and U.S. history\, as well as in tribal\, federal\, and constitutional law. Together\, they will reflect on the past\, present\, and future of Indigenous History\, including the fundamental issue of treaties and their downstream effects into the present. A central theme of this session is: where did Indigenous history start from\, where is it going\, and what challenges and obstacles remain within the field? The panel will also consider the more specific question of treaties\, land\, and dispossession within a broader\, comparative framework that builds upon recent studies of “land grab” politics across U.S. history as a whole. Additionally\, the speakers will reflect on a second theme central to their scholarship: that U.S. history cannot be understood without recognizing the central role of Indigenous histories and experiences.\n\n5:30 – 6:30pm: Reception with light fare with the panelists.\n6:30 – 7:00pm: Conference Opening with Emcee Bethany Hughes and Welcome Song shared by Stick City\, U-M’s Native American Student Association’s Drum Group.\n7:00 – 8:30pm: Opening Remarks by U-M President Grasso and former EIHS Director John Carson followed by the keynote roundtable\, and public Q&A.\n\nAll events are open to the public. This roundtable is made possible through the partnership of the IHP-1817 Project and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, who are co-sponsoring this event as part of their annual lecture series.\n\nSpeakers: Maggie Blackhawk\, Ned Blackhawk\, Matthew Fletcher\, Michael Witgen\n\nModerator: Greg Dowd\n\n--\nDay 2\nFriday\, April 10\, 2026\, Kuenzel Room\, Michigan Union\n\nDay 2 Welcome & Session 1\n9:15am – 11:00am\n\nWhy Study Michigan Now? Situating the University of Michigan and the Great Lakes Region in the Broader Histories of Native American Dispossession\, Removal\, “Land Grab” Politics\, and U.S. Higher Education\n\nThis panel takes as a starting point the founding moment represented by the land transfer to U-M in Article 16 of the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs\, but widens the scope of inquiry to include subsequent treaties and land transfer schemes that facilitated the development of the University and the state of Michigan. This panel will present the “receipts\,” to visually represent the transfer of wealth from Native people to the citizens of the state of Michigan.\n\nThis panel will demonstrate that the histories of U-M\, the state of Michigan\, and the broader Great Lakes region are crucial contexts for understanding the broader histories of dispossession\, removal\, land grab politics\, and the development of American higher education. Discussion of the 1817 Project\, including an explanation of its origins and a showcase of its ongoing work\, will illustrate how the project is addressing fundamental questions of U.S. history.\n\nSpeakers: Jay Cook\, Michael Witgen\, Jonathan Quint\, Gabrielle Ione Hickmon\n\n--\nDay 2 Session 2\n11:15am – 12:30pm\n\nUniversities and Indigenous Dispossession\n\nThis panel will explore the deep links between colonization\, Indigenous dispossession\, and the growth of colleges and universities in the United States. While the 1862 Morrill Land Grant College Act is often cited as a pivotal moment in the history of American higher education\, centering the narrative on the mid-nineteenth century risks obscuring the broader role that Indigenous land played in underwriting American colleges and universities. Long before the Morrill Act\, institutions such as the University of Michigan relied on land appropriated through treaties to finance operations\, expand campuses\, and diversify educational opportunities for students. At the same time\, public domain land was being used for internal improvements\, with universities serving as part of this larger project of development. The Morrill Act extended and formalized these practices\, redistributing millions of acres of Indigenous land to fund the expansion of higher education across the United States. By bringing the pre- and post-Morrill Act eras into conversation\, this panel will show how Indigenous land has remained a foundational resource for American higher education from its beginnings through the present.\n\nSpeakers: Mary Shi\, Jon Parmenter\, Alyssa Mt. Pleasant\n\nChair: Ned Blackhawk\n\n--\nDay 2 Session 3\n1:30pm – 2:45pm\n\nHow to Read A Treaty: Legal Battles and the Continuing Impact of U.S.-Anishinaabeg Treaties\n\nThis panel will demonstrate how important Michigan-area treaties such as the 1836 Washington Treaty and 1855 Treaty of Detroit continue to shape the lives of the Anishinaabe people of the state\, and how their meaning and enforcement remain subjects of legal challenges and political activism. To show the continuing impact of treaties\, and the ways in which they serve as foundational documents of Anishinaabeg-U.S. political and legal relations\, our speakers will draw from their experience as legal scholars\, jurists\, litigators\, and expert witnesses. Collectively\, they will discuss cases such as Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa v. Whitmer\, which considered whether the 1855 Treaty of Detroit created a reservation for the LTBB Odawa in northern Michigan\, as well as current litigation on the Line 5 Pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac and the broader historical contexts of these cases.\n\nSpeakers: Matthew Fletcher\, Riyaz Kanji\, James McClurken\n\nChair: Maggie Blackhawk\n\n--\nDay 2 Session 4\n3:00pm – 4:15pm\n\nOn the Hidden Histories of Public Domain Land\n\nThis panel will explore the creation of public lands in the Michigan Territory and state through the multiple treaties negotiated by the federal government with the Indigenous peoples of Michigan. Historically\, federal officials pressured tribes in Michigan to agree to the extinction of Native title to their lands\, even when there was no immediate demand for those lands. This meant not only that tribes were deprived of a valuable asset\, but also that this asset was able to appreciate in value until such time as it was sold by the state. In order to convince Native peoples to sign these treaties\, the 1836 Washington and 1855 Detroit treaties guaranteed Native peoples the right to hunt\, fish\, and harvest on ceded territory not yet converted into private property. Reinforcing the enduring relevance of treaties across time\, this panel will focus on the protests\, activism\, and legal battles that have emerged over Indigenous resource rights in Michigan\, all of which revolve around differing interpretations of land and treaties. The panel will center the experiences and insights of community members who participated in these events.\n\nSpeakers: Mae Wright\, Emily Proctor\n\nChair: Eric Hemenway\n\n--\nDay 3\nSaturday\, April 11\, 2026\, Forum Hall\, 4th Floor\, Palmer Commons\n\nDay 3 Welcome & Session 5\n9:00am – 10:30am\n\nHow to Think About the Origins of Indian Removal Politics From a Great Lakes Perspective\n\nThis panel will highlight how two Michigan Anishinaabe communities\, the Pokagon Band of Boodewaadamii and the Burt Lake Band of Odawa and Ojibwe Indians\, had different experiences with removal and federal recognition\, shaping their distinct paths and histories. It will combine historical analysis of the development of various nineteenth-century land companies and land transfer schemes with presentations by community representatives who can discuss the resistance of their communities to Indian Removal\, as well as how they have fought or are still fighting to have their sovereignty and territory recognized by the federal government. This panel will discuss the shifting understandings and contexts of Indian Removal\, focusing on examples from Michigan and the broader Great Lakes Basin\, such as encroachment from settler colonists\, forced migration by military forces\, and Indian Boarding schools\, that illuminate nationally significant aspects of Indian Removal policy.\n\nSpeakers: Wenona T. Singel\, Blaire Morseau-Topache\n\nChair: Michael Witgen\n\n--\nDay 3 Session 6\n10:45am – 12:00pm\n\nTeaching Native American and Treaty History in K-12 Classrooms\n\nThis panel brings together educators from public schools and library professionals to share their experiences and insights on teaching Native American history in a range of educational settings. Panelists will discuss best practices for engaging students\, building inclusive curricula and lesson plans\, and addressing the gaps and challenges that persist in public education. Drawing on their experience teaching Native American history\, they will reflect on what has proven most effective\, what barriers remain\, and how educators can collaborate to move this work forward.\n\nSpeakers: Joe Erdmann\, Kara Johnson\, Annemarie Conway\n\nChair: Eric Hemenway\n\n--\nDay 3 Conference Wrap-up with Closing Remarks by Dr. Michael Witgen\n12:00 – 12:15pm\n\n--\nDay 3 Living with Treaties Community Connections Forum\n12:00pm – 3:00pm\n\nEqual parts resource fair\, poster session\, and tabling event\, the Community Connections Forum will serve as a platform for fostering connections among attendees\, the 1817 Project\, U-M campus partners\, and student organizations connected to the themes of the conference.\n\nDJ set by Sicangu Lakota multi-genre music artist\, educator\, and storyteller Frank Waln.\n\n--\nDay 3 Concurrent Breakout Workshops for K-12 Educators*\n1:15pm – 2:45pm\n\nTeaching Native American and Treaty History in Public Classrooms\n\nThis session will consist of teaching workshops designed for K-12 educators\, with two separate workshops targeted for elementary\, junior\, and high school level instructors. The workshops will include short preparatory presentations on subjects relevant to the conference\, such as treaties or public domain land\, with accompanying guidance on how to teach the subject matter. K-12 instructor participants will receive pre-prepared instructional materials at the start of the workshop\, with additional materials provided at the conclusion.\n\nFacilitators: Eric Hemenway\, Jared Aumen\, Madeline McShannock\, Joy Kooyer\, Jack Stearns UID:146201-21898656@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146201 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:History LOCATION:Palmer Commons - Forum Hall and Great Lakes Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260222T111850 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260411T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260411T123000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Wolverines Walk for Reproductive Justice DESCRIPTION:Lunar Doula Support Network (LDSN) has been working to hold a 5k fun run/walk fundraiser to support a local organization\, Birth Detroit\, that works towards reproductive justice.

Event attendees will have the opportunity to explore Soleimani’s photography in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and/or to go on a bird-watching tour at the Arb. For either portion of the event\, please meet at the Institute for the Humanities at 202 South Thayer.\n\nSheida Soleimani is an artist\, educator\, and licensed wildlife rehabilitator whose work examines power\, environmental crisis\, queerness\, migration\, and care. The daughter of political refugees who escaped Iran in the early 1980s\, Soleimani draws on archival materials\, props\, and sculptural elements to create visually lush\, politically incisive tableaux. She works across various mediums\, investigating themes such as oil politics and human rights abuses\, confronting the systems of violence linking the SWANA region and the United States\, unraveling their implications in American culture. Though her images are dreamlike\, they are grounded in lived experience: her parents frequently appear as subjects\, in compositions made from elements of their (sometimes harrowing) tales. Increasingly\, wildlife enters the frame – injured and orphaned birds\, with their own quiet stories of migration and survival. Before the lens\, these animals encapsulate Soleimani's multifaceted practice: care as art\, storytelling as resistance.\n\nThe bird walk will be led by members of the Michigan Bird Club. This will serve as training for volunteers interested in helping collect data for an ongoing migratory bird safety project and as well as an opportunity to get familiar with local campus birds.\n\nDonuts\, hot chocolate\, and hot tea will be available while supplies last.\n\nIf you cannot make this event but are interested in viewing Soleimani’s exhibition\, you can visit the Gallery anytime Monday through Friday from 9AM to 5PM\, March 19th - May 1st\, 2026.

Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

Limited tickets may be available at the door at 7:15 pm.*\n\nThe Department of Dance presents *Threshold*\, a collection of five works choreographed and directed by senior Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance majors Zamora Tamminga\, Sarah Snow\, Melisa Orduna\, Mia Brooks\, and Zeenia Shahpurwala. \n\n*Something has come undone* (Tamminga) is a series of vignettes of interpersonal relationships\, highlighting jazz music as a vessel for spontaneity\, resistance\, and connectivity. This theatrical work is set in a jazz bar\, where one’s intimate moments become deceptively public\, and where trying to forget may not be enough. \n\nDrawing from family dynamics\, sisterhood\, and early experiences of navigating unfamiliar emotions\, *Strangers Again* (Snow) examines how people carry\, suppress\, or redirect feelings\, and how those patterns manifest in the physical body. The dancers move through states of physical closeness and emotional distance\, tracing cycles of withdrawal\, fatigue\, and collective support. \n\n「三⾯鏡」*Sanmenkyou* (Brooks) is a triptych following three relational “faces”: the face shown to self\, the one to society\, and the face presented to the world through digital platforms\; where authenticity\, performance\, and global visibility coexist. Fundamentally based on the Japanese concepts of *honne* (true feelings) and *tatemae* (public façade)\, the conditions this describes are familiar to many multi-ethnic individuals navigating multiple cultural frameworks. \n\n*El Final* (Orduna) is rooted in the intensity of pivotal moments shaped by closure. The work explores the end of a chapter as it unfolds with heightened emotion and deep nostalgia. Through climactic\, tango-like scores and orchestral textures\, the dance’s journey traces the arc of longing and finality. Impermanence is the catalyst to growth\, unveiling the possibilities within every conclusion. \n\n*Ephemeral River* (Shahpurwala) explores the joy and silly little feeling dance brings when experienced onstage. Inviting the audience into a vibrant world shaped by play and genuine enjoyment\, the piece celebrates dance as a space for freedom\, humor\, and shared pleasure. The work invites performers and audiences alike to share in the simple joy of connection and moving together.

A search for and an embrace of the self. I imagine they were left with a headscratcher of a question: well\, shit. Where do you go from there?\n\nFortunately\, they listened to the wizard and followed their noses backwards to find their way forward. \n\nAiming to strip away pretense and invite experimentation\, they commandeered a garden shed from a friend and retrofitted it to make a twenty-track album that is vast\, weird\, and wholly unexpected. \n\nIf Lefty is anything\, it is the journal of Penny and Sparrow’s inner child. Dog-eared\, lock busted open. On its pages the sketches of dreams\, nightmares\, erotica\, and literary fan fiction graffiti the margins of poetry\, elegies\, and love letters in the wild colors of saxophone blue\, electronic pink\, and blood harmony red. \n\nBeautifully varied and richly rendered\, it is an album that wanders from theme to theme\, style to style\, exultation to tragedy. Yet it is never lost. If anything\, it is at play. \n\nUnited by its intimate vocals and aching harmonies\, its acoustic laments trickle into ethereal pop only to surge into whimsical ballads and crest into grand hooligan anthems that sway gently down to familiar shores where melancholic ballads tell of love lost\, found\, forgotten\, and remembered. \n\nAndy and Kyle have written some albums in blood. Others they’ve whispered to the sea. This one they danced in the sky with smiles on their faces. Lefty feels like not just a celebration of their journey beyond the bounds of their traditional genre\, but as if they have rediscovered the joy in music by honoring the sounds that inspired two boys growing up in Texas to one day make the damn stuff themselves.\n\n–Pierce Brown\, author and friend\n\n\nVIP includes:\n \nOne general admission ticket\nEarly entry into the venue\nAccess to an intimate pre-show soundcheck party (2-3 songs)\nQ&A with Penny & Sparrow\nLimited edition tour poster\; autographed by Penny & Sparrow\nCrowd Free Merchandise Shopping\nLimited availability\n \nEarly Entry includes:\n\nOne general admission ticket\nEarly entry into the venue\nLimited edition tour poster\; autographed by Penny & Sparrow\nCrowd Free Merchandise Shopping\nLimited availability UID:139929-21886360@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260406T121633 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260411T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260411T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:So Hyang In\, piano DESCRIPTION:DMA candidate in piano performance So Hyang In performs a dissertation recital.

Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\" UID:146980-21900165@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260411T060016 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260412T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260412T200000 SUMMARY:Other:Big Ten 7's DESCRIPTION:Wolverines travel to Indianapolis to compete in the Big Ten 7's tournament.

Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

The duo\, along with the rest of the people in town\, worship a god called PLAY-ER and follow rules written down in a magical book. It has been foretold that a band of heroes chosen by their god will come to slay the demon king who’s been terrorizing the land. The people of Storyn\, the NON PLAY-ER Chosen or NPC for short\, wait breathlessly for that day. \n\nWhen the heroes do arrive\, Tem — as the book professes — must guide them on their journey. However\, nothing can prepare Tem for what their chosen warriors truly are: a group unlike anything written down in their book. As the lines between what is “good” and “evil” begin to blur\, Tem grapples with the fact that maybe not everything is as black and white as their sacred book makes it out to be.

The duo\, along with the rest of the people in town\, worship a god called PLAY-ER and follow rules written down in a magical book. It has been foretold that a band of heroes chosen by their god will come to slay the demon king who’s been terrorizing the land. The people of Storyn\, the NON PLAY-ER Chosen or NPC for short\, wait breathlessly for that day. \n\nWhen the heroes do arrive\, Tem — as the book professes — must guide them on their journey. However\, nothing can prepare Tem for what their chosen warriors truly are: a group unlike anything written down in their book. As the lines between what is “good” and “evil” begin to blur\, Tem grapples with the fact that maybe not everything is as black and white as their sacred book makes it out to be.

With a career spanning 40 years and a discography of 17 solo releases\, he embodies the best of folk music with his eclectic blend of folk\, blues and bluegrass influences\, insightful lyrics and engaging delivery. John’s career was launched in the mid-80s when he won the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in 1984. \n\nSeveral years later he signed to Red House records for the release of his debut album I Know. He migrated to Windham Hill/High Street for his subsequent three releases\, earning extensive critical acclaim from a variety of publications including Rolling Stone which dubbed him the preeminent male singer-songwriter of the New Folk Movement. He returned to Red House in 1998 and has since released a string of albums that have achieved folk chart-topping success.\n\nHailing from New Jersey\, but forged in the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene\, John has honed his craft and persona into an unmistakable image. The shy\, wry\, insightful\, and yes\, sensitive singer-songwriter has been copied and parodied. But the old coat he wove still fits\, and still suits him well. The old songs ring as true as they ever did\, and the new ones are just as good.

For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\" UID:146980-21900166@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260410T120040 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260413T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260413T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling. \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

This symposium seeks to reframe these tensions by exploring the deep\, intertwined histories of Jewish and Muslim communities—histories marked by both collaboration and conflict. By drawing on these shared pasts\, we aim to develop strategies that foster inclusivity\, combat racism\, and reduce ethnic and religious intolerance in academic spaces. \n\nThe symposium will consist of four sessions that focus on Judeo-Muslim Entanglements in the Middle Ages\; Jewish-Muslim Life in the Present\; Interrogating Islamophobia\, Anti-Semitism\, and Anti-Blackness\; and Zionism and the Christian Right. The papers presented in the symposium will be developed into short book chapters that will be published as an edited volume (anticipated as a contribution to the \"Darom: Global South Perspectives in Jewish Studies\" series at Wayne State University Press). The editors will be Mostafa Hussein\, Bryan K. Roby\, Adi Saleem\, and Rebecca Wollenberg.

The Wagnon laboratory is interested in understanding genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying DEE and identifying new treatment strategies for these severe disorders. Our current studies focus on DEE caused by variants in the neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel gene SCN8A. We are developing mouse models of SCN8A encephalopathy to study pathogenesis of seizures and related comorbidities. A second focus of the lab is to investigate the role of regulation of gene expression in seizure pathology. Changes in mRNA and microRNA levels represent a general transcriptional response to seizures that may implicate new therapeutic targets.

However\, current systems cannot be fully isolated from the environment\, which can introduce detrimental noise effects that destroy useful quantum features in these open quantum systems. Nevertheless\, in some circumstances it is possible to instead utilize the environment as a resource via symmetries. Although the implications of symmetries in Hamiltonian systems are well-understood\, in open quantum systems the situation is more complex. In this talk\, I will show how two classes of symmetry exist for open quantum systems\, “weak” and “strong”\, and I will demonstrate the utility of strong symmetries via two examples. First\, I will identify connections between steady state phase transitions and autonomous error correction\, a form of quantum error correction in which active measurement and feedback is no longer needed. Second\, I will show how strong symmetries allow for the preparation of highly-entangled collective states known as spin-squeezed states\, which can be experimentally realized in optical cavity systems for quantum-enhanced metrology.

However\, the idea that literacy development in two languages may be related for bilingual children learning to read and write is in accordance with the indisputable evidence that the bilingual’s two languages are simultaneously active during language acquisition and use even in situations in which individuals intend to produce or comprehend one language alone (e.g.\, Kroll et al.\, 2015). In this talk\, I will argue that both the development of literacy and the processes leading to fluent biliteracy can be examined through the Four Levels of Literacy Model (Alves & Finger\, 2023)\, which consists of a continuum of four complementary levels\, referred to as Sociometalinguistic Skills\, Alphabetic Literacy\, Textual Literacy\, and Social Literacy. I will also discuss the research that we are currently developing in my lab which investigates the developmental trajectories of phonological awareness and reading and writing skills in bilingual learners\, connecting these findings with some of my previous work that suggests the existence of an interrelated development of both receptive and productive skills in contexts of biliteracy instruction (Finger\, Lemke\, et al.\, 2024\; Finger & Weissheimer 2024\; Lemke et al.\, 2023\; Oliveira et al.\, 2025).\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Ingrid Finger is a Full Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and the Graduate Program in Languages and Literature at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)\, Brazil\, where she runs the Bilingualism and Cognition Lab – LABICO since 2006. Her research explores the cognitive and linguistic underpinnings of literacy development in monolingual and bilingual children\, with a particular focus on how phonological awareness contributes to biliteracy acquisition across distinct bilingual education contexts. Through this work\, she addresses the universal\, language-specific\, and bilingual influences on child reading development and dyslexia She is the author of several books\, including Literacy in Monolingual and Bilingual Contexts\, co-authored with Ubiratã Kickhöfel Alves (Vozes\, 2023) and Literacy and Biliteracy: From Theory to Practice (Pontes\, 2025). She is a member of the Brazilian National Science for Education Network.

Like the mammalian prostate\, the fly AG consists of two types of secretory epithelial cells\, an extracellular matrix\, and a surrounding innervated muscle sheath. The secretory epithelium is composed of large\, postmitotic cells that are binucleated and polyploid\, revealing that the differentiation process for the development of this tissue involves extensive cell cycle remodeling\, such as skipping cytokinesis to result in bi-nucleation and skipping M-phases to result in polyploidy. Following eclosion\, the tissue goes through a pronounced growth phase during the first 10 days of adult life. However because this tissue remains post mitotic in the adult\, cell cycle activity during the first 4 hours after adult emergence\, drives growth through a further increase in cell ploidy (chromosome content) during organ maturation. We have also observed that damage to this tissue induces compensatory cellular enlargement through increases in polyploidy\, a response analogous to hypertrophic growth observed in the mammalian liver following a partial hepatectomy. In this study\, RNA sequencing was used to characterize transcriptional dynamics during the first five days post-eclosion to identify gene expression changes underlying early AG growth. In parallel\, tissue wound healing capabilities were assessed using a novel acute puncture model. Recovery following damage was evaluated through fluorescent staining and a damage responsive GFP reporter line\, enabling visualization of cellular responses and identification of candidate pathways in damage induced growth. Together\, these findings provide insight into the molecular mechanisms involved in growth and tissue plasticity in the AG and establish a framework for studying epithelial regeneration in a system that allows for direct genetic analysis.

Reception to immediately follow in the EECS Atrium.\n\nAbstract: \nMany of the cybersecurity issues facing the modern digital society can ultimately be traced to an array of misaligned incentives. For instance\, the vast majority of the cost of a data breach is not borne by the firm suffering the breach\, but by the users and consumers whose data were stolen\; similarly\, the harm caused by software problems is\, by and large\, shouldered by consumers\, not developers. Over the past decade\, an overarching goal of my research group has been to develop innovative data analytics methodologies and policy ideas to help realign these incentives. Within this context\, I will present our recent work in new approaches to quantifying cyber risk at an organizational level\, quantifying the social cost of data breaches\, and in developing mathematical models that capture the strategic interactions and decision making among parties driven by different incentives.\nBio: \nMingyan Liu is a leading expert in sequential decision and learning theory\, game theory and incentive mechanisms\, all within the context of large-scale networked systems and with applications to cybersecurity. Technologies she developed in this space have been successfully transitioned. She co-founded the start-up company\, QuadMetrics\, Inc.\, commercializing predictive data analytics her team developed for cyber risk quantification that resulted in the first global enterprise cybersecurity ratings system\; it was acquired by the analytics software company Fair Isaac (FICO) in 2016. This technology has been used for enterprise risk management\, vendor management\, cyber insurance underwriting\, and most recently\, in augmenting Environmental\, Social\, and Governance (ESG) ratings. For this she received the “Crossing the Valley of Death” PI Excellence Award from the Department of Homeland Security in 2016.\nProf. Liu joined the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, in September 2000\, as an assistant professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. She was the Peter and Evelyn Fuss Chair of ECE from 2018 to 2023\, and has been the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs since 2023. She is the recipient of the 2002 NSF CAREER Award\, the University of Michigan Elizabeth C. Crosby Research Award in 2003 and 2014\, the 2010 EECS Department Outstanding Achievement Award\, the 2015 CoE Excellence in Education Award\, the 2017 CoE Excellence in Service Award\, and the 2018 Distinguished University Innovator Award. She has received a number of Best Paper Awards and has served on the editorial boards of IEEE and ACM Transaction. She is a Fellow of the IEEE and a member of the ACM.\nProf. Liu received an MS degree in Systems Engineering and Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland\, College Park\, in 1997 and 2000\, respectively.

The main underlying theorem is an explicit special case of Langlands functoriality\, which we prove by leveraging Feng's recent results on \"modular functoriality\" several times.
