Decorative paper, noticed when walking through the stack's aisles or surprising you when you casually flip through a book, can really catch your eye. But because the Buhr stacks are closed from browsing, the density and dimensionality of its nearly 3 million books are reduced to title searches on a screen.\n\nAs a response to these reflections, artist and library staff member Stephanie Osorio shares her handbound unopenable book-objects as symbolic stand-ins for forgotten books at Buhr \u2014 the books that don\u2019t get a chance to be noticed. Along with the book-objects are the carved woodblocks that made prints to decorate them. Some books from Buhr that inspired this project with their original decorated patterned papers will also be on display.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open, and join us for an opening reception on Thursday, May 14th, 5pm - 6:30pm, for an opportunity to hear from the artist and engage with the book-objects.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"147739-21901729@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147739", "building_id":"1000181", "building_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "campus_maps_id":"65", "room":"Clark Library (2nd floor)", "location_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Free","Library"], "website":"https:\/\/www.lib.umich.edu\/events", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University Library", "group_id":"1186", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UMichLibrary\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147739_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":105, "first_occurrence":21901669 } , "148197-21903264": { "datetime_modified":"20260508T161657", "datetime_start":"20260714T080000", "datetime_end":"20260714T163000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-07-14", "date_end":"2026-07-14", "time_start":"08:00:00", "time_end":"16:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Celebrating Pride Month", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Celebrating Pride Month", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"We are thrilled to announce that Pride Month is being celebrated in the Hatcher Library!\u00a0See selected historical artifacts from the Joseph A.

She also holds a Master of Arts from Eastern Michigan University and has completed post-graduate studio coursework at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Maryland Institute College of Art, Rhode Island School of Design, and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.\n\nThompson taught visual art in the Ann Arbor Public Schools for 34 years and has also taught at the University of Michigan School of Education and Washtenaw Community College. She exhibits her work both locally and nationally and was a member of the Clay Gallery. She continues her practice in her home studio and at the Potters Guild in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She is a member of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and the Michigan Ceramic Art Association. Her work is included in the permanent collection of the International Dinnerware Museum.\n\nThompson\u2019s work has been inspired by the natural world since childhood. Although she initially studied biology in college, she later shifted her focus to visual art. The textures, colors, and forms in her pieces are drawn directly from nature.\nSeeds\u2014structures that have enabled plants to move through space and time for over 600 million years\u2014are central to her recent work. They are vital to the continuation of plant life, and therefore to human survival.\n\nIn this exhibition, Thompson explores the unseen structures of seeds as revealed through electron microscopy. These images highlight the intricate beauty and ingenuity of nature, which she interprets through her wall-mounted ceramic sculptures.\n\nAt a time when our planet and its ecosystems face increasing threats, Thompson\u2019s work serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world. Recognizing the beauty and significance of these often-unseen forms is a crucial first step toward protecting the life systems on which we all depend.", "occurrence_notes":"Mon-Fri 9 am to 5 pm or by appointment. serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"147884-21902277@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147884", "building_id":"0", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "campus_maps_id":"595", "room":"Connection Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Alumni","Art","ArtsEngine","ArtsRx","Biosciences","Culture","Ecology","Environment","Exhibition","Family","Free","Humanities","Nature","North Campus","Visual Arts"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":69, "first_occurrence":21902206 } , "147882-21902180": { "datetime_modified":"20260423T085450", "datetime_start":"20260714T090000", "datetime_end":"20260714T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-07-14", "date_end":"2026-07-14", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Melissa Jones Exhibition", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Melissa Jones Exhibition: Internal Architecture", "event_subtitle":"Internal Architecture", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Melissa Jones works across multiple mediums, consistently centering the human figure, texture, and elements of the natural world\u2014such as weathered surfaces, bones, and rust. These recurring interests create a unifying thread throughout her work, regardless of medium.\nShe creates in both two and three dimensions, including sculpture, painting, and assemblage. Oil painting is her preferred medium, allowing her to work slowly in layered processes and achieve a wide range of nuanced effects.\n\nJones\u2019 work is primarily figurative, often narrative and autobiographical\u2014though not strictly self-portraiture. Her figures are intended to evoke emotional responses that are less commonly found in landscape or other painting genres. She draws inspiration from the visual poetry of the human form, finding beauty in subtle details: the turn of a wrist, the curve of a spine, or the shadow along a collarbone. She is captivated by how light illuminates the skin and how shadow defines form, embracing the challenge of capturing this complexity in paint. Beyond physical representation, her work also explores psychological dimensions, aiming to convey mood and emotional depth.\n\nHer technique, in both painting and sculpture, is highly detailed, realistic, and developed gradually over time through layered processes. At times, her work enters the realm of magical realism. While deeply personal, her narratives remain intentionally ambiguous, inviting viewers to interpret the imagery through their own perspectives and experiences.\n\nBorn and raised in Detroit, Jones studied at Wayne State University, earning a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Art Education and a Master\u2019s degree in Art Therapy. She previously worked as an art educator in the West Bloomfield School District and has exhibited professionally throughout the Detroit area since 2006, receiving numerous awards. In addition, she served as a board member and exhibition committee member for the Detroit Artists Market.", "occurrence_notes":"Mon-Friday, 9 am to 5 pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"147882-21902180@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147882", "building_id":"0", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "campus_maps_id":"595", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["ArtsEngine","ArtsRx","Detroit","Exhibition","Family","Free","Humanities","Visual Arts"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":69, "first_occurrence":21902109 } , "148807-21904758": { "datetime_modified":"20260610T135252", "datetime_start":"20260714T090000", "datetime_end":"20260714T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-07-14", "date_end":"2026-07-14", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Noncredit short courses presented by the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Noncredit short courses presented by the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Class \/ Instruction", "event_type_id":"8", "description":"Founded in 1948, the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques is designed specifically to meet the needs of professionals and graduate students seeking to deepen their expertise in survey methodology and data collection.

The institute was established because faculty members believed that research on women, gender, and sexuality required an institutional commitment to thrive. That belief was itself a form of resistance\u2014to disciplinary silos, to marginalization, to the idea that such scholarship was peripheral.\n\nThis theme reminds us that resistance is not merely reactive; it is constructive. When rooted in collaboration and sustained through infrastructure, it produces knowledge that reshapes disciplines, institutions, and public life.\n\nThis exhibit celebrates 30 years of IRWG\u2014its history, its programs, and the people whose vision and labor built it into what it is today. Through archival materials, milestones, and stories, we trace the evolution of an institute that has continually expanded the boundaries of research in women, gender, and sexuality.\n\nThis exhibit centers growth, collaboration, and intellectual creativity\u2014honoring the sustained efforts, bold ideas, and collective care that have shaped IRWG\u2019s legacy and continue to guide its future.\n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women\u2019s and Gender Studies, U-M. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

Guided by the literature on mixed methods research, the course will present various motivations and strategies for blending qualitative components into a quantitative study. Students will be introduced to a variety of qualitative methods and the ways each approach can complement a survey, including focus groups, in-depth interviews, asynchronous research, cognitive testing, open-ended survey questions, and multiple methods used across a single study. Through case studies and collaborative exercises, students will explore the potential contribution of each method, as well as the benefits of combined methods to advance and understand specific research questions. Practical considerations will be covered, including study design, sampling, recruitment, data collection, analysis, and integration of qualitative findings into survey reporting. This course is designed for those with a specific research question in mind, as participants will be asked to design multi-method approaches to a research question of their choice. By the end of this course, participants will understand the role qualitative research can play in survey research and how to design and implement a qualitative phase in a multimethod study.\n\nDarby Steiger is Vice President of Innovation & Solutions and Director of Qualitative Research at SSRS.

In the age of bird\u2019s-eye views, which imagined a perspective on American cities and towns from high in the air, balloonists were the only people who actually had the opportunity to see what the growing nation looked like from above. As the nineteenth century progressed, ballooning became a lucrative (if dangerous) business, as crowds gathered to watch balloons launch, and to see aeronauts risk their lives high in the air. Over time, the image of the hot air balloon proliferated in American print culture, being used to sell goods ranging from thread to canned beef.

The workshop provides students with tools to use in diagnosing problems in survey questions and in writing their own survey questions. Sessions combine lectures with group exercises & discussion. The lecture provides guidelines for writing and revising survey questions and illustrates how to revise troubled questions. Sessions consider both questions about events and behaviors and questions about subjective phenomena (such as attitudes, evaluations, and internal states).\n\nCOURSE OBJECTIVES\n\nIntroduce a structural analysis of parts of a survey question. Describe guidelines for diagnosing problems in survey questions and writing new survey questions. Focus on the structure and wording of survey questions, whether for interviewer-administered or self-administered instruments. Provide an opportunity to apply the guidelines and principles during in-class exercises. Focus on improving individual questions and sets of questions. Summarize research that underlies key decisions in writing survey questions. Introduce cognitive interviewing as a method for testing survey questions.\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\n\nIndividuals who will be writing or reviewing survey questions or survey instruments or analyzing survey data. This course gives practical guidance to those who have written survey questions but who are not familiar with the research on question design, those who are just beginning to design survey instruments, and those who use survey data but do not themselves design survey instruments.\n\nINSTRUCTOR\n\nJennifer (Jen) Dykema s an Professor of Sociology and the Faculty Director of the University of Wisconsin Survey Center (UWSC). Jen\u2019s research focuses on survey methodology, identifying sources of errors produced in the process of gathering standardized measurements and developing and implementing methods to reduce those errors.
