        "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.",

        "description":"Resistance Is Fertile honors the founding moment of the Institute for Research on Women & Gender, while speaking to the present. 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. State Street), the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public, M-F, 9am-4pm.",

        "description":"\nWelcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test takes approximately three hours in length, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed via Zoom and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed online through Canvas site, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the first two portions of the test. The final result\/score\/rating will thus be based on the student\u2019s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary.How is the result calculated?Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the LSA Language Requirement.Where can I view my results?\u00a0Placement results are posted within 7 business days after taking the test. You will not be notified of your score automatically.\u00a0You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Please note that only students who are participating in the Spring\/Summer orientations are eligible to take the online placement test. If you are an existing UM student, please sign up to take the in-person placement test that is taking place in August.* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test.\u00a0* The test assesses students\u2019 proficiency in Standard Arabic (fuSHa), NOT colloquial Arabic.* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge in Standard Arabic (fuSHa), feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement.* Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101, 121, 201, 221, 401, 501 or 504 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester, and Arabic 102, 122, 202, 222, 402, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.UM\u2019s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of Standard Arabic (fuSHa).If you have questions regarding the placement test, please contact the Arabic program director at, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu",
