Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work. \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space. In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

Created by Jessie Horton Koessler (Class of 1901) to help fund the Michigan League building for women\, this celebrated map provides a fascinating view into 1920s campus life and the women who shaped it. Through three distinct exhibit sections\, journey from the campus history that led to the map’s creation to a broader look at early 20th-century pictorial mapmaking.\n\nWhile enjoying the exhibit\, pick up a scavenger hunt at the Clark Library desk that will inspire you to notice whimsical details in the maps discussed.

Just there......no .....it does not proclaim its purpose for blooming is to make people happy. It just is. Like standing in front of an easel and painting........just is.......no matter......what proclamations may be concluded to sway the viewer. Same thing goes for fine art. It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate. It can be quiet or loud. I see so much very weak work uplifted not for its quality but because it’s in fashion.” UID:150406-21909230@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/150406 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Arab Heritage Month,Art,ArtsRx,Culture,Detroit,Diversity,Exhibition,Free,Middle East Studies,North Campus,Visual Arts,Women's Studies LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Connections Gallery Concourse Level CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261029T083905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261110T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261110T100000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Student Caregiver Breakfast DESCRIPTION:As the kickoff for Student Caregiver Appreciation Week\, we invite you to stop by to grab some breakfast and caffeine on your way to the rest of your day.\n\nJoin us in celebrating the first University of Michigan Student Caregiver Appreciation Week\, November 9-14\, 2026.

The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration. \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

The photographs and stories in the exhibit challenge mainstream narratives that reduce Black birth to statistics and only amplify Black pregnant women's anxiety and hesitancy about navigating the maternal health care system. Instead\, the exhibit offers evidence of joy\, reminders of possibility\, and a visual legacy for generations to come. \n \nBlack Birth Joy was born from Lashae's belief that more positive birth stories of BIPOC families need to be seen and heard\, and her photographs invite viewers to witness the people behind them: the mothers\, babies\, partners\, families\, and birthworkers. They create space for BIPOC families to see themselves represented with dignity and to witness the full range of birth experiences. Lashae's photographs also create a tangible record that can support conversations around quality of medical care\, respectful treatment\, and patient rights. The exhibit empowers women to prioritize and advocate for their birth experiences while also encouraging perinatal health professionals and birthworkers to center the humanity\, dignity\, and individual experiences of patients and families. \n\nThe exhibit comprises over 30 photographs as well as stories of mothers whose births were documented by Lashae\, a doula and birth/newborn photographer whose work has been published in Everyday Birth Magazine\, an international publication. The physical exhibit is accompanied by a virtual component that encourages audiences to engage with each mother's birth story.\n\nThe Lane Hall Exhibit Space is sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) at the University of Michigan. \n\nBlack Birth Joy\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 – Friday\, January 15\, 2027\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\, 204 S State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\nOpen M–F\, 9AM–5PM UID:153178-21915316@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153178 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:advocacy,african and african american studies,american culture,anthropology,Art,artists and curators,photography LOCATION:Lane Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260915T123553 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261110T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261110T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Breakfast\, Luncheon\, and Dinner: Dining Out in the 1910s\, 1920s\, and 1930s DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a buffet selection of early twentieth century menus from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

They are a combination of certainty and ephemerality\, as if hinged between living and loss. The specificity of Ueno’s sculptural works reads like poetry. Ueno’s installation offers visitors time away\, for contemplation\, to draw inward\, to come inside\, to ask the question\, “How are art and the everyday intertwined?” Honoring the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence\, one becomes a continuation of the other. The artist intends the space to offer a restorative and meditative experience.\n\nThis exhibition includes artworks created from natural materials foraged by the artist while in artist residency in Ann Arbor.\n\n*The title refers to the opening line of Hōjōki\, written by 13th-century Japanese Buddhist monk Kamo no Chōmei: \"The flow of the river is ceaseless\, and the water is never the same…\"* UID:149763-21907129@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149763 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

September 29 - November 15\, 2026.\n\nArtist Bio\n\n“Bozho\, Justin Johnson nde zhnëkas\, Eau Claire ndë wtthbya. Mshiké ndodem minė Bodéwadmi ndaw.” (“Hello\, my name is Justin Johnson\, I come from Eau Claire. My clan is turtle and I am Potawatomi”). \n\nMy name is Justin Johnson\, Native name Thitthishkewé. I’m a visual artist whose work is deeply shaped by my Potawatomi heritage. Raised in Coloma\, Michigan\, my artistic path began in childhood and continued through grade school and high school\, eventually leading to me studying at Kendall College of Art & Design for four years. My art is a reflection of both personal expression and cultural tradition\, honoring the interconnectedness of people\, animals\, land\, and spirit. Guided by intuition\, ancestral knowledge\, and the natural world. I’m always seeking new ways to tell stories through my work. My drawings are inspiration from tribal stories\, culture\, and values that have been passed down through generations. I have collaborated with the Pokagon Band on numerous projects\, including traditional storybooks and illustrations. Aswell as permanent collections at the Pokagon Band Administration Building and the Pokagon Health Services building\, and artwork featured in the Four Winds Casino gift shop. Some other projects and exhibtions that I’ve participated in would be the Native American exhibition at the Krasl Art Center and a featured as the cover artist with a six-page article in PAN-O-PLY magazine. My murals can be found at the Grand Rapids Public Museum\, the Edwardsburg (Cass County District) Library\, and the Buchanan District Library. Currently\, I’m collaborating with Northwestern University on a new mural for their football stadium. Through diverse body of work\, my work continues to share the stories\, values\, and traditions of his heritage with a wide audience.\n\nArtist Statement\n\nMy work is deeply rooted in my culture\, which shapes both my perspective and my creative process. We see ourselves as part of the Earth\, not separate from it—every act\, every gesture\, is an exchange. When we take\, we give. This relationship is woven into the art I make\, which follows the tradition known as Woodlands Style\, or Legendary Style. It’s not the invention of any one person. It has been handed down\, shaped by countless hands and stories over generations. This style is often described as “x-ray” painting. With vivid colors and layered lines\, I try to reveal the inner spirit of animals\, plants\, and people—sometimes physical\, sometimes spiritual. There’s a rhythm to it that still echoes the Great Lakes region: bold\, luminous\, and full of life. Each piece is a story that’s been told and retold\, woven across time\, just like the spirits that guide us. As an artist\, I try to reflect these values in everything I do. Even when we drift from the old ways\, our spirit keeps us connected. My work is a reminder—a visual invitation to reconnect\, to live more intentionally\, and to honor the balance and respect that our traditions teach.

Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form\, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5\, 2026\, through February 28\, 2027\, during regular museum hours (Tuesday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM\, and Saturday–Sunday\, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM\; closed Mondays and university holidays.* UID:153842-21916442@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ancient Rome,archaeology,art,Art History,collections,cultural heritage,Exhibition,Faculty,Free,history,Mediterranean,museum,Research,roman empire,visual arts LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261020T090120 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261110T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261110T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:BME Special Guest Lecturer DESCRIPTION:BME Special Guest Lecturer:\nStephane Avril \n\nMultiscale Digital Twins IN CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE \nAbstract:\nAortic aneurysms and dissections require personalized therapeutic strategies to reduce the risk of catastrophic complications. This lecture introduces a multiscale digital-twin framework combining fast surrogate biomechanical models\, machine-learning–based inverse identification\, and tissue mechanobiology. At the clinical scale\, latent-space representations enable rapid patient-specific simulation to predict complications such as endoleaks. At the material scale\, inverse methods and neural-network constitutive models reveal regional tissue properties and rupture indicators. At the biological scale\, growth-and-remodeling models describe how proteolytic injury\, hemodynamics\, and cellular processes drive disease progression. By integrating these components\, digital twins become powerful tools to support diagnosis\, intervention planning\, and future therapies for delaying vascular aging.\nBio:\nStéphane Avril is Professor of Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering at Mines Saint-Étienne\, France\, and Director of the SAINBIOSE laboratory (INSERM U1059). He received his PhD in Mechanical and Civil Engineering from Mines Saint-Étienne in 2002.

This year\, we are honored to have a nurse who served in Vietnam. A total of nearly 9\,000 women served as nurses in the Vietnam War. Their average age was 23 and most had just graduated from nursing school when they volunteered. Eight of them were killed in action\, while treating and saving others. \n\n>Panelist Mary Stolz\, an Iron Mountain Michigan resident\, kept wounded soldiers alive. \n>Panelist Denny Schoville was one such critically wounded casualty. The helicopter pilot\, with a Distinguished Flying Cross\, two Silver Stars\, and a Bronze Star\, was shot in the temple and left calf and still managed to land his bullet-riddled chopper. A nurse stabilized him so that he could be flown to a fully equipped Army hospital in Japan. \n>Panelist Peter Dodge trained as an Army medic and volunteered for Vietnam\, but was sent to Thailand to provide public health services. As a result of Peter's and fellow MEDCAPS work\, Vietnam was only the second US war in which more men died of diseases than in battle. \n>The panel is moderated by Lawrence Dolph\, who served on Night Ambush Patrol for the 9th Infantry Division and later as a US Army News Correspondent.\n\nTheir remarkable stories of service\, sacrifice\, and perseverance will change how you look at the Vietnam War and the men and women who served there.

We develop a quantitative task-based theory of production in which firms choose among various vintages of an automation technology (in this case\, AI models) for each task\, subject to adoption frictions. Larger models are more capable but require more computing\, so automation of some tasks relies on models smaller than the frontier. An expanding frontier lowers costs only in tasks that may rely on new models\, while cheaper computing lowers automation costs for all tasks that AI can perform. We measure the capabilities and costs of AI models across different tasks using a new survey: workers grade the output of 41 language models on samples of 7\,400 production tasks in over 800 occupations. The token costs for producing each task/model combination offer measures of the corresponding computing costs. Using this data\, along with additional moments of AI spending and occupational adoption\, we quantify our model and use it to project the future path of AI automation given trends in capabilities and computing costs. The model predicts that by 2050 AI will perform 54 percent of all work in the US economy. Halving the rate at which computing prices fall lowers this share to 39 percent\, while halving the growth rate of frontier models leaves it almost unchanged.

Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

While the disturbances were promptly quelled and the instigators brought to justice\, missionaries found themselves in heated debates about the origins of the riots. One of them was Welshman Griffith John who singled out the Sacred Edict as one root cause of anti-Christian sentiment and argued for its amendment. This talk examines the context behind the debate and what it can tell us about endurance of and contradictions within imperial ideology in late imperial China.\n\nPär Cassel is an associate professor of modern Chinese history at the University of Michigan.

In environments dominated by short-term pressures\, the ability to think beyond the present is emerging as a critical leadership advantage.\n\nImagination is a fundamental cognitive capability that allows us to generate possibilities beyond what exists today. Yet in fast-paced\, and uncertain environments\, we rarely make time to develop it. When imagination is underused\, we default to reaction\, overlook emerging signals\, and feel less prepared for what’s ahead. Research consistently shows that while the vast majority of leaders see imagination as critical to future success\, only a small minority actively cultivate it in practice.\n\nStrategic foresight provides a way to actively build this capability — combining data\, signals\, and structured exploration with generative thinking to help individuals rehearse possibilities and shape more intentional outcomes. Organizations that apply these future-focused practices consistently outperform peers in growth\, resilience\, and innovation.\n\nLed by leading foresight practitioners\, this interactive session will engage participants in futures thinking and real-time exploration through approaches like scenarios\, provocations\, and reflection — creating space to strengthen imagination in action.\n\nParticipants will leave with practical approaches to:\n\nGenerate and explore new possibilities\nGreater confidence navigating uncertainty\nNew ways to think\, decide\, and lead beyond the present UID:151682-21911944@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/151682 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Career,Free,Leadership,Professional Development,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261001T152518 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261110T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261110T235900 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:SMART CENTER Symposium DESCRIPTION:November 10 - 11\, 2026\n\nConnect with pioneers and shape the future of single-molecule biology together.

In van der Waals heterostructures\, such mixtures can be realized\, with bosons as excitons and fermions as dopant charges. This opens the opportunity to use excitons as sensors of electronic correlations. I will discuss experimental results obtained during my previous positions at the Joint Quantum Institute and the University of Geneva. We showed how optical exciton diffusion can benchmark the formation of correlated states in a moir\'e structure and how the strong particle-particle interactions in this system can lead to collective emission. I will finish by presenting some perspectives for our recently formed group at UMBC: the Group of Quantum Optics of Correlated Materials. We will use techniques from the quantum optics field to investigate multi-electronic correlations that emerge from strong particle-particle interactions.

Zulu is Professor of Geography\, Environment\, and Spatial Sciences and Director of\nthe African Studies Center at Michigan State University. A human-environment geographer\, his\nresearch focuses on energy transitions\, environmental governance\, climate adaptation\, and\nsustainable development in Africa. Drawing on more than 30 years of international research and\npolicy engagement\, he examines how communities navigate environmental change and how\nevidence-based policies can advance equitable and sustainable futures\n\nAbstract\nAs the world races toward decarbonization\, Africa is often portrayed as a region still waiting to\ncomplete its energy transition. This lecture challenges that narrative. Drawing on research\nacross energy\, environment\, and development in Southern Africa\, I argue that Africa is not\nmerely a site of future energy transitions but a critical laboratory for understanding them. From\ncharcoal economies and household energy choices to forest restoration and emerging carbon\nmarkets\, African experiences reveal that transitions are shaped as much by governance\,\ninequality\, and historical legacies as by technology. The central argument is that climate policies\ngrounded in narrow assumptions about modernization risk overlooking the realities that drive\nenergy behavior and environmental outcomes. By examining how communities navigate energy\nscarcity\, environmental change\, and climate interventions\, the lecture highlights the need for\njust\, context-sensitive transitions that advance both human well-being and planetary\nsustainability. Africa's experience offers lessons not only for the continent\, but for the global\npursuit of equitable climate futures.

The community continues to treat manipulation as an isolated end-effector problem\, ignoring the reality that in unstructured environments\, every physical contact is a collision and thus a dynamic event. For decades\, commercial hardware has been optimized for stiffness and precision\, resulting in effective endpoint masses an order of magnitude heavier than a human arm. This creates a severe impedance mismatch: unplanned contact results in undesired energy transfer\, especially when interacting with lightweight objects that have fast dynamic timescales. To address this fundamental limitation\, we introduce AthenaZero. Designed to minimize system inertia without sacrificing control authority\, AthenaZero achieves a human-equivalent effective endpoint mass. This architecture natively supports the physics of impact\, enabling a suite of dynamic manipulation tasks including throwing\, catching\, batting\, and juggling. By prioritizing physical fluency over rigid precision\, AthenaZero offers a new hardware foundation for contact-rich manipulation. \n\nSpeaker Bio: Andrew (Andy) Morgan is a Research Scientist at The Robotics & AI Institute in Cambridge\, MA.

Does laughter at misfortune manifest what Bergson called “a momentary anesthesia of the heart”—or worse? This talk takes up a puzzle about confessional comedy: why isn’t it vicious to draw pleasure from another’s suffering\, as we do when comics joke about trauma? The answer turns on the fine structure of empathy\; and the upshot is a theory of confessional stand-up as bespoke theodicy: a temporary\, interpersonal solution to the emotional problem of evil. This solution is one we can administer to ourselves\, using humour to confront adversity. Content note: violence and sexual assault.\n\nKieran Setiya is Peter de Florez Professor of Philosophy at MIT\, where he works on ethics and related questions about human agency and human knowledge.

Tanner Lectures are funded through the generosity of the late Professor of Philosophy\, industrialist\, and philanthropist\, Obert Clark Tanner\, and his wife\, Grace Tanner. Professor Tanner wrote:I hope these lectures will contribute to the intellectual and moral life of mankind. I see them simply as a search for a better understanding of human behavior and human values. This understanding may be pursued for its own intrinsic worth\, but it may also eventually have practical consequences for the quality of personal and social life.Although the Tanners established the supporting endowment in 1978\, Joel Feinberg's April 1977 lecture at Michigan inaugurated the international series of Tanner Lectures.Each year\, Michigan has a Tanner Lecture combined with an interdisciplinary symposium to which we invite distinguished scholars from around the world. These events are free and open to the public. The complete list of Tanner Lectures at Michigan is available here: \nhttps://lsa.umich.edu/philosophy/news-events/all-events/tanner-lecture/tanner-lectures-on-human-values-at-the-university-of-michigan.html.

Reading through the Double Archival Grain: Yugoslav Socialist Humanitarianism and its Whiteness DESCRIPTION:For the 2026 Annual Borka Tomljenović Lecture\, Professor Čarna Brković will consider different forms of affective engagement with humanitarian activities in socialist Yugoslavia\, including irony and nostalgia. Ironic engagement assumes that Yugoslav solidarity with formerly colonized populations during the Cold War was empty rhetoric\, driven by a pragmatic desire to establish the country as a significant player on the geopolitical stage. Nostalgic engagement\, by contrast\, is shaped by the belief that Yugoslavs were motivated by an honest ideological commitment to solidarity and anti-racism that ultimately placed them on the “right side” of history. Both ironic and nostalgic engagements with socialist humanitarianism evaluate the past through contemporary ideas about solidarity\, socialism\, capitalism\, and their interrelations.\n\nTo understand socialist humanitarianism on its own terms\, Brković proposes reading it through the double grain of state socialism and the end of history. Such an analytical approach illuminates the role of racial socialism—socialist ideologies of “race” and local racial projects—and its interactions with global racial hierarchies\, showing how these ideologies were shaped by particular value constellations.\n\nBy discussing a 1961 humanitarian initiative of the Yugoslav Red Cross that brought sixty children and young people from the Congo to Tivat\, Montenegro\, this talk sheds light on the workings of socialist whiteness. This was not a colourist project but rather a normative regime of political value with two key characteristics: it ascribed superiority to Yugoslavs on the basis of their greater socialist experience\, and it overlooked present problems in favour of a future in which “race” would no longer matter.\n\nČarna Brković is professor of cultural studies and European ethnology at the University of Mainz. Dr. Brković has a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Manchester and a BA in Ethnology and Anthropology from the University of Belgrade. In her European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant “Racial Socialism” (2026-2031) as well as in her book Realigning Humanitarianism in the Balkans: From Cold War Politics to Neoliberal Ethics (Indiana University Press\, 2026)\, she studies historical projects of integrating the world differently\, such as socialist humanitarianism and Europeanization.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at CREES@umich.edu.

Born in San Francisco\, California\, November 1\, 1955\, he was raised in the Puerto Rican and Cape Verdean traditions of his family\, surrounded by music. The fertile musical environment of the San Francisco Bay Area shaped his career in a unique way. His studies of Afro-Latin music have included several trips to New York\, Puerto Rico\, Cuba\, Brazil and Colombia. He is known for his innovative use of traditional forms and instruments in combination with contemporary music\, and has earned much respect and recognition as a prolific performer\, composer\, teacher\, writer\, radio programmer\, and record/event producer whose career has spanned five decades. He illuminates and illustrates the historical and evolving intersection of Jazz and traditional Afro-Latin music.\n\nPresented by the Center for World Performances Studies with support from the Residential College and the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance Percussion Program.\n\n*If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies at cwps.information@umich.edu at least one week in advance of this event.

While often associated with Frédéric Chopin\, this recital explores the broader and evolving story of the mazurka through the voices of both celebrated and lesser-known composers from Poland and around the world.\n\nThe program presents a diverse collection of works that reveal how composers have transformed this Polish dance into a vehicle for artistic expression\, cultural identity\, and contemporary creativity. It includes mazurkas by Karol Szymanowski\, whose innovative language expanded the genre in the twentieth century\, as well as works by composers inspired by Chopin’s legacy\, including Zygmunt Stojowski\, Julian and Nathalie Janotha. The program also features mazurkas by lesser-known Polish composers such as Wojciech Kilar and Mikołaj Piotr Górecki\, whose individual musical voices offer new perspectives on the evolution of the genre. Special attention is given to the contributions of female composers\, whose works enrich the mazurka’s continuing legacy.\n\nAlongside these historical works\, the program features newly commissioned mazurkas created for the international 21st Mazurkas project—a visionary artistic initiative conceived\, developed\, and realized by pianist Anna Kijanowska. Bringing together composers from Poland\, Europe\, North America\, South America\, and New Zealand\, the project presents the mazurka as a living international form. These contemporary works demonstrate the remarkable adaptability of the genre\, blending elements of folk tradition\, personal expression\, modern compositional techniques\, and diverse cultural influences. Each composer offers a unique perspective\, transforming the mazurka into a global musical language while maintaining its connection to its Polish roots. Among the contributors is Matthew Bengtson\, Associate Professor of Piano Literature at the University of Michigan\, whose commissioned mazurka forms part of this international collection.\n\nAll of these new works were written especially for pianist Anna Kijanowska and recorded on the award-winning DUX album 21st Mazurkas (DUX 2149). The recording received the Platinum Prize at the Golden European Piano Awards 2025\, together with the Special Regional Representative Award (Cieszyn\, Poland) and the Artist of the Month distinction.\n\nThrough a dialogue between historical voices and contemporary creators\, *Mazurka: Dance of a Polish Soul\, Voice of the World* celebrates the mazurka as a living art form—one that continues to evolve across generations\, cultures\, and continents\, while remaining deeply connected to Poland’s rich musical heritage.\n\n*This event is supported in part by the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia\, and partially funded by a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage\, Republic of Poland.* UID:150308-21908999@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/150308 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Culture,Free,Music,North Campus LOCATION:Earl V.

It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate. It can be quiet or loud.

The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration. \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

The photographs and stories in the exhibit challenge mainstream narratives that reduce Black birth to statistics and only amplify Black pregnant women's anxiety and hesitancy about navigating the maternal health care system. Instead\, the exhibit offers evidence of joy\, reminders of possibility\, and a visual legacy for generations to come. \n \nBlack Birth Joy was born from Lashae's belief that more positive birth stories of BIPOC families need to be seen and heard\, and her photographs invite viewers to witness the people behind them: the mothers\, babies\, partners\, families\, and birthworkers. They create space for BIPOC families to see themselves represented with dignity and to witness the full range of birth experiences. Lashae's photographs also create a tangible record that can support conversations around quality of medical care\, respectful treatment\, and patient rights. The exhibit empowers women to prioritize and advocate for their birth experiences while also encouraging perinatal health professionals and birthworkers to center the humanity\, dignity\, and individual experiences of patients and families. \n\nThe exhibit comprises over 30 photographs as well as stories of mothers whose births were documented by Lashae\, a doula and birth/newborn photographer whose work has been published in Everyday Birth Magazine\, an international publication. The physical exhibit is accompanied by a virtual component that encourages audiences to engage with each mother's birth story.\n\nThe Lane Hall Exhibit Space is sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) at the University of Michigan. \n\nBlack Birth Joy\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 – Friday\, January 15\, 2027\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\, 204 S State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\nOpen M–F\, 9AM–5PM UID:153178-21915317@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153178 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:advocacy,african and african american studies,american culture,anthropology,Art,artists and curators,photography LOCATION:Lane Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260915T123553 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261111T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261111T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Breakfast\, Luncheon\, and Dinner: Dining Out in the 1910s\, 1920s\, and 1930s DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a buffet selection of early twentieth century menus from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

They are a combination of certainty and ephemerality\, as if hinged between living and loss. The specificity of Ueno’s sculptural works reads like poetry. Ueno’s installation offers visitors time away\, for contemplation\, to draw inward\, to come inside\, to ask the question\, “How are art and the everyday intertwined?” Honoring the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence\, one becomes a continuation of the other. The artist intends the space to offer a restorative and meditative experience.\n\nThis exhibition includes artworks created from natural materials foraged by the artist while in artist residency in Ann Arbor.\n\n*The title refers to the opening line of Hōjōki\, written by 13th-century Japanese Buddhist monk Kamo no Chōmei: \"The flow of the river is ceaseless\, and the water is never the same…\"* UID:149763-21907130@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149763 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

September 29 - November 15\, 2026.\n\nArtist Bio\n\n“Bozho\, Justin Johnson nde zhnëkas\, Eau Claire ndë wtthbya. Mshiké ndodem minė Bodéwadmi ndaw.” (“Hello\, my name is Justin Johnson\, I come from Eau Claire. My clan is turtle and I am Potawatomi”). \n\nMy name is Justin Johnson\, Native name Thitthishkewé. I’m a visual artist whose work is deeply shaped by my Potawatomi heritage. Raised in Coloma\, Michigan\, my artistic path began in childhood and continued through grade school and high school\, eventually leading to me studying at Kendall College of Art & Design for four years. My art is a reflection of both personal expression and cultural tradition\, honoring the interconnectedness of people\, animals\, land\, and spirit. Guided by intuition\, ancestral knowledge\, and the natural world. I’m always seeking new ways to tell stories through my work. My drawings are inspiration from tribal stories\, culture\, and values that have been passed down through generations. I have collaborated with the Pokagon Band on numerous projects\, including traditional storybooks and illustrations. Aswell as permanent collections at the Pokagon Band Administration Building and the Pokagon Health Services building\, and artwork featured in the Four Winds Casino gift shop. Some other projects and exhibtions that I’ve participated in would be the Native American exhibition at the Krasl Art Center and a featured as the cover artist with a six-page article in PAN-O-PLY magazine. My murals can be found at the Grand Rapids Public Museum\, the Edwardsburg (Cass County District) Library\, and the Buchanan District Library. Currently\, I’m collaborating with Northwestern University on a new mural for their football stadium. Through diverse body of work\, my work continues to share the stories\, values\, and traditions of his heritage with a wide audience.\n\nArtist Statement\n\nMy work is deeply rooted in my culture\, which shapes both my perspective and my creative process. We see ourselves as part of the Earth\, not separate from it—every act\, every gesture\, is an exchange. When we take\, we give. This relationship is woven into the art I make\, which follows the tradition known as Woodlands Style\, or Legendary Style. It’s not the invention of any one person. It has been handed down\, shaped by countless hands and stories over generations. This style is often described as “x-ray” painting. With vivid colors and layered lines\, I try to reveal the inner spirit of animals\, plants\, and people—sometimes physical\, sometimes spiritual. There’s a rhythm to it that still echoes the Great Lakes region: bold\, luminous\, and full of life. Each piece is a story that’s been told and retold\, woven across time\, just like the spirits that guide us. As an artist\, I try to reflect these values in everything I do. Even when we drift from the old ways\, our spirit keeps us connected. My work is a reminder—a visual invitation to reconnect\, to live more intentionally\, and to honor the balance and respect that our traditions teach.

Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form\, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5\, 2026\, through February 28\, 2027\, during regular museum hours (Tuesday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM\, and Saturday–Sunday\, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM\; closed Mondays and university holidays.* UID:153842-21916443@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ancient Rome,archaeology,art,Art History,collections,cultural heritage,Exhibition,Faculty,Free,history,Mediterranean,museum,Research,roman empire,visual arts LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261109T095528 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261111T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261111T123000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Symposium on Tanner Lecture on Human Values DESCRIPTION:Kieran Setiya (MIT) will be joined by Beck Krefting (Skidmore College)\, Lucy O'Brien (University College London)\, and Sarah Buss (UM) for a symposium.\nScott Hershovitz (UM Law) will moderate.\n\nRackham Amphitheatre\nWednesday\, November 11\, 2026\n10:00 AM - 12:30 PM UID:148436-21904272@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/148436 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Philosophy LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261107T174948 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261111T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261111T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Tanner Lecture on Human Values | Kieran Setiya DESCRIPTION:Can humour help us cope with hardship without distancing or denial? Does laughter at misfortune manifest what Bergson called “a momentary anesthesia of the heart”—or worse? This talk takes up a puzzle about confessional comedy: why isn’t it vicious to draw pleasure from another’s suffering\, as we do when comics joke about trauma? The answer turns on the fine structure of empathy\; and the upshot is a theory of confessional stand-up as bespoke theodicy: a temporary\, interpersonal solution to the emotional problem of evil. This solution is one we can administer to ourselves\, using humour to confront adversity. Content note: violence and sexual assault.\n\nKieran Setiya is Peter de Florez Professor of Philosophy at MIT\, where he works on ethics and related questions about human agency and human knowledge. He is the author of Reasons without Rationalism\, Knowing Right From Wrong\,Midlife: A Philosophical Guide and Life Is Hard: How Philosophy Can Help Us Find Our Way\, which was selected as a Best Book of 2022 by The Economist and The New Yorker. His writing has appeared in The New York Times\, The Guardian\, the LA Review of Books\, the TLS\, the London Review of Books\, the Boston Review\, The Atlantic\, Aeon\, and The Yale Review\, as well as numerous academic journals.

Tanner Lectures are funded through the generosity of the late Professor of Philosophy\, industrialist\, and philanthropist\, Obert Clark Tanner\, and his wife\, Grace Tanner. Professor Tanner wrote:I hope these lectures will contribute to the intellectual and moral life of mankind. I see them simply as a search for a better understanding of human behavior and human values. This understanding may be pursued for its own intrinsic worth\, but it may also eventually have practical consequences for the quality of personal and social life.Although the Tanners established the supporting endowment in 1978\, Joel Feinberg's April 1977 lecture at Michigan inaugurated the international series of Tanner Lectures.Each year\, Michigan has a Tanner Lecture combined with an interdisciplinary symposium to which we invite distinguished scholars from around the world. These events are free and open to the public. The complete list of Tanner Lectures at Michigan is available here: \nhttps://lsa.umich.edu/philosophy/news-events/all-events/tanner-lecture/tanner-lectures-on-human-values-at-the-university-of-michigan.html.

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 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 11 - December 11) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 3 \n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nAbhishek Narula\, Compressions \nCompressions is an installation comprised of 416 industrial-grade zip ties\, cinched around the entry pillar of the Stamps Gallery. The pillar measures roughly 110 inches in circumference\, requiring two ties per row to wrap around it\, resulting in 208 rows. The humble zip tie\, typically used to hang and bind other material\, is relegated to its functional properties rendering it unprepossessing and easily dismissed. The zip tie in this installation\, instead serves as an object of aesthetic possibility\, pulling it out of its usual background role to become the work itself. The resulting composition is a proposal to dwell\, to slow down\, and to simply see the pillar.\n\nAbhishek Narula is an artist\, designer\, and educator who works across sculpture\, installation\, sound\, and video. His practice takes the form of interventions\, working with what is already present. He reorients and disrupts objects and sites in order to open up formal possibilities and poetic experiences within the familiar. He is influenced by physical and digital infrastructural systems that sustain modern life and culture. His work treats this ambience itself as raw material for aesthetic inquiry\, exploring themes of labor\, precarity\, temporality and the sublime. Narula earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and his MS/BS in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited at national and international venues such as the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology\, Science Gallery Detroit\, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia\, New Media Caucus (NMC)\, WaveFarm\, The Boulder Public Library\, The Hyde Park Art Center\, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press\, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI)\, International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA)\, among others. He is a Robotics Systems Designer and Lecturer in the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\nNathan Byrne\, Equally To Be Loved\nEqually To Be Loved is an image / object scaled to and installed upon the courtyard pillar of Stamps Gallery. The image is of a spontaneous sculpture made in 2017 during the first day of an artist residency at the Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program. The sculpture was constructed in a storage container studio using 14 discrete objects that were in his studio upon entry. For Byrne\, this work embodies the energy and spirit of a studio at the start of a particularly fecund period of making. This work speaks to the artist’s interest in embodied experience of space\, archival and site responsiveness\, as well as his ongoing engagement with found materials. Byrne considers this project to be a far-flung sequel to his MFA thesis exhibition Equally Empty\, which was shown at Stamps Gallery in 2021. Equally To Be Loved is the second line of the Buddhist mantra from which both titles are derived.\n\nNathan Byrne is an artist / educator / curator currently based in Detroit\, MI. Through spatial and archive responsive projects\, he reimagines\, and explores within frameworks such as language\, the passage of time\, and contemplation. Intrigued by the potential of conveying phenomenal\, transformative\, and emotive states through materiality\, process\, and placement\, he negotiates the pliability of the viewer’s encounters with objects and environments. Byrne holds an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and a BA in Studio Art and Art History from San Francisco State University. He has been a Lecturer at Stamps School of Art & Design since the Fall of 2022. His work is exhibited widely nationally and he is a recipient of the VSC Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. He has been awarded numerous artist residencies including Anderson Ranch Arts Center\, I-Park\, KHN Center for the Arts\, Prairie Ronde\, Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program\, and Rockland Woods.

How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

The existence of these black holes require the BH seeds to grow faster than allowed by the Eddington limit. In this talk I will consider the growth of these black holes if a small component of dark matter was dissipative in nature. Using dark atoms as a concrete example of dissipative dark matter\, we show that it is possile to grow large BHs in the early universe through accretion of dark atoms or by starting out with larger seeds.

Evidence from Indigent Defense in Texas DESCRIPTION:The majority of felony cases in the United States involve indigent defendants represented by publicly financed attorneys. We examine the effects of efforts to improve representation for economically disadvantaged defendants through the adoption of managed indigent defense offices (MIDs) in Texas\, which impose a layer of oversight and accountability on attorneys who provide indigent defense services. Exploiting the staggered roll-out of MIDs across Texas counties\, together with administrative data on attorney employment and caseloads\, jail populations\, and newly compiled arrest and prison records\, we show that introducing management concentrates cases among a smaller set of local lawyers. Management reduces the use of bench warrants and the probability of imprisonment. Sentences among those incarcerated lengthen as imprisonment falls\, implying that the defendants diverted from prison would have served relatively short terms. Overall\, we find that management matters in the administration of criminal justice.

Combined with Kolyvagin's theory of Euler systems\, it establishes the weak Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for elliptic curves over Q of analytic rank one.\n\nWe begin by outlining the ideas behind Gross and Zagier's earlier factorization formula for differences of singular moduli\, which can be viewed as the local height computation in the special case N=1. For general N\, Gross's algebraic approach computes non-archimedean local height pairings\, while Zagier's analytic approach computes archimedean local height pairings. On the L-function side\, Rankin's method expresses the central derivative as the Petersson inner product with an explicit cusp form. The Gross-Zagier formula then follows by comparing this cusp form with the generating series of height pairings\, up to an oldform.\n\nWe conclude with a brief overview of recent developments in the field.

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)\, based on Einstein’s photoelectric effect\, has emerged as a leading tool for exploring this frontier\, providing direct\, momentum-resolved access to the electronic structure—the “DNA” of quantum materials. Its impact spans cuprate superconductors\, topological systems\, and two-dimensional materials\, where it has both tested theoretical ideas and revealed unexpected behavior. \n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss both the progress and remaining challenges in understanding cuprate high-temperature superconductors through the lens of ARPES. From testing theoretical ideas and uncovering unexpected phenomena to resolving long-standing puzzles and benchmarking models\, systematic ARPES studies point toward a pathway for achieving high-temperature superconductivity. \n\nIn the poorly screened regime near correlation-driven insulating states\, the interplay between strong electron–electron and electron–phonon interactions could enhance pairing strength while suppressing structural instabilities. At the same time\, this environment fosters competing orders and fluctuations\, giving rise to the rich and complex phenomenology characteristic of these unconventional superconductors.\n\nA.

As CEO of Blumira\, he led the company’s mission to democratize enterprise-grade security for small and medium-sized businesses. Previously\, Simpson held key product leadership roles at Duo Security (acquired by Cisco for $2.35 billion) and Arbor Networks (acquired by NETSCOUT). A University of Michigan computer science graduate\, he currently provides fractional product and executive services while advising technology companies on strategic growth and security initiatives. Simpson is recognized for his user-centric approach to security challenges and his advocacy for diversity and inclusion in the cybersecurity industry.\n\nAbstract: CSE teaches you how to think about systems: understanding the layer below\, building intentionally on the layer above. Most of us think this lesson applies narrowly to code\, to architecture\, to the technical work we do after graduation. It doesn’t. It scales.\n\nIn this talk\, I’ll trace a nonlinear path from EECS 270 to starting product at Duo Security to leading product strategy today\, showing how the same systems-thinking lens applies at every level. I’ll share stories from constrained group projects\, building company operating systems\, and why the bottleneck in product leadership has shifted from execution speed to strategic clarity.\n\nWhether you’re early in your career deciding between technical and non-technical paths\, or years in and wondering how your CSE background applies beyond engineering\, this talk is about recognizing that systems thinking is your real competitive advantage. And it scales all the way up.

It is expected that the pairing between these basis elements and valuations in the essential skeleton satisfies an independence condition\, similar to the pairing between monomials and monomial valuations on a toric variety. In this talk\, I will explain how tools from birational geometry and K-stability can be used to construct bases that fulfill this condition. This is joint work with Yuchen Liu.

Prof. of Biostatistics) DESCRIPTION:Short Bio: Dr. Gaynanova’s research focuses on the development of statistical methods for analysis of modern high-dimensional biomedical data. Her methodological interests are in data integration\, machine learning and high-dimensional statistics\, motivated by challenges arising in analyses of multi-omics data (e.g.\, RNASeq\, metabolomics\, micribiome) and data from wearable devices (continuous glucose monitors\, ambulatory blood pressure monitors\, activity trackers). Her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation\, and recognized with a David P. Byar Young Investigator Award and an NSF CAREER Award.\n\nAbstract: Multi-view data\, where different data types are collected from the same samples\, are increasingly prevalent due to advances in omics and wearable technologies. For instance\, The Cancer Genome Atlas provides omics data from multiple platforms\, while wearable devices such as continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and accelerometers record high-frequency signals alongside tabular clinical characteristics. Integrating these views can enhance scientific insights but also presents significant analytic challenges. In this talk\, I will start with multi-omics data\, briefly reviewing our work on handling mixed variable types (continuous\, binary\, zero-inflated) and on distinguishing between joint and individual signals. I will then turn to settings where one of the views is representing wearable signal. Standard analyses typically reduce these recordings to a handful of scalar summaries. An appealing alternative is to treat each subject’s measurements as a sample from a subject-specific distribution and to take that distribution itself as the unit of analysis. I will illustrate regression with distribution-valued responses\, including extensions beyond the univariate case where optimal transport becomes computationally prohibitive\, and conclude with ongoing work using these distributional representations in genetic association studies. The methods will be illustrated on data from multi-omics and CGM studies.

For a closed surface\, by the classical result of Goldman\, the Euler class provides a complete classification of the connected components of the character variety. However\, describing these components becomes more subtle when considering the type-preserving representations for punctured surfaces. In this talk\, I will introduce two invariants of type-preserving representations that characterize the connected components. As an application\, I will show the existence of totally hyperbolic representations\, giving a negative answer to a question of Bowditch. I will also discuss the relation between the existence of such representations and the mapping class group action on the relative character variety.

Drawing on the new co-authored volume\, *Heritage Forensics: Cultural on the Front Lines of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict*\, the presentation examines how cultural sites became entangled in the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh during the interwar period (1994-2020). The talk considers how satellite-based heritage forensics is being deployed prospectively\, to monitor hundreds of Armenian sites in Karabakh following Azerbaijan's 2023 takeover of the region and the displacement of its Armenian population. In doing so\, it asks: how can satellite-based monitoring function as a form of \"counter-forensics\,\" turning surveillance technologies developed for military purposes back on the state? Can heritage forensics move us beyond retrospective documentation to actively deter erasure and support truth\, reconciliation\, and accountability wherever cultural heritage is at stake?\n\nLori Khatchadourian is Professor of Near Eastern Studies and Anthropology at Cornell University\, and co-founder and co-director of Caucasus Heritage Watch.

The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

No prior field experience is required\, and students of all majors from colleges and universities worldwide are welcome.\n\n“This is more than school. This is a life-changing experience\,” said Hassan Mustapha\, a U-M senior and pre-med student who took classes at UMBS in summer 2026.\n\nLocated along Douglas Lake and Burt Lake about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge\, UMBS is a more than 10\,000-acre living laboratory where students learn and conduct research in forests\, rivers and lakes. Most courses include a research component.\n\nAvery Schestag\, a U-M senior studying ecology and evolutionary biology\, arrived with little field experience. In spring 2026\, she studied how leaf litter affects soil nitrogen in forests across northern Michigan as part of an ecology class.\n\n“It was really cool to do the research\,” Schestag said. “I enjoyed being able to go out in the field a lot and come back to the lab.”\n\nStudents also learn directly from conservation professionals\, researchers and community partners.\n\nIsa Reyes\, a U-M graduate student studying ecosystem science and management and geospatial data science in the School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS)\, served as the 2026 CLEAR Fellow and took the Conservation Biology in Practice class.\n\n“It was really cool to meet with so many practitioners — the people who do a lot of great conservation work — and then go out in the field and see unique species like Kirtland’s warblers and dwarf lake iris\,” Reyes said.\n\nUMBS welcomes students from across disciplines. Bailey McClive\, a U-M chemical engineering junior\, studied microbiology and Great Lakes policy and management during the 2026 summer term.\n\n“Getting the chance to come out and connect with nature is not something I get to do a lot for my major\,” McClive said. “Building connections with Michigan professors\, research scientists from around the world\, and regional stakeholders is so valuable.”\n\nThe residential experience at UMBS creates a close-knit community. Students\, professors\, researchers\, staff and their families share meals\, explore northern Michigan and live in cabins.\n\n“At the Biological Station\, I met so many people who are similar to me in so many different ways\,” said Annie Wesorick\, a U-M junior studying ecology and evolutionary biology. “I feel like I made 50 new friends while I was here.”\n\nFor Zafir Maker-Agha\, who studied business administration and environmental science at U-M\, UMBS provided a memorable finish to his undergraduate experience.\n\n“The campus is gorgeous\,” Maker-Agha said. “I would wake up and go on a run\, see the sunrise along the lake and maybe go fishing before breakfast.”\n\nThe spring 2027 term runs June 1 through July 1. The summer 2027 term runs July 13 through Aug. 12.\n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world\, advance research and education\, and inspire action. We leverage over a century of research and transformative experiences to drive discoveries and solutions to benefit Michigan and beyond.\n\nOur vast campus engages all of the senses. Its remote\, natural setting nurtures deep thought and scientific discovery.\n\nFounded in 1909\, UMBS supports long-term research and education through immersive\, field-based courses and features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for data collection and analysis to help any field researcher be productive. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.

Bond: Carrigan Lecture in Music Education DESCRIPTION:The Department of Music Education presents a guest lecture by Vanessa L. Bond\, Ph.D.\, with support from the Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Education.\n\nABSTRACT\n\n\"Mistakes are welcome here.” “Failure is not fatal.” “Every failure is a step to success.” Platitudes about the importance of failure abound. And yet\, failure is rarely tolerated in our educational and artistic systems. In this discussion\, I will interweave empirical research\, philosophical perspectives\, and personal insights to argue that pedagogical and artistic innovation require space and structures that nurture failure. I will offer concrete possibilities for reimagining specific curricular\, assessment\, and mentoring practices in music education. Ultimately\, if we design intentional opportunities to fail\, we open up greater opportunities to grow. \n\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER\n\nDr. VANESSA L. BOND\, Professor and Coordinator of Graduate Music Education at Rowan University\, researches intersections of music education and the Reggio Emilia approach\, culturally responsive music education\, mentoring\, and academic motherhood. Her recent scholarship appears in the *Journal of Research in Music Education* and the *Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education*. She is also the author of the forthcoming research-to-practice book\, *Inspiring Musical Play in General Music Through Loose Parts*.
