These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit\u2019s transformation, capturing humanity\u2019s impact on the environment alongside nature\u2019s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\r\n\r\nSwafford\u2019s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions, including light, shadow, and atmosphere, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene, along with his wet-on-wet technique, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit\u2019s landscape, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\r\n\r\nIn addition to these works, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice\u2014an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function\u2014creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects\u2014demonstrates Swafford\u2019s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\r\n\r\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design, and while at RISD, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago, Kansas City, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.", "occurrence_notes":"Open Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm or by appointment (serrag@med.umich.edu)", "guid":"142768-21891417@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142768", "building_id":"0", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "campus_maps_id":"595", "room":"Connections Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art","ArtsEngine","Culture","Detroit","Exhibition","Free","Humanities","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\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142768_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":59, "first_occurrence":21891351 } , "144676-21895678": { "datetime_modified":"20260209T103613", "datetime_start":"20260409T090000", "datetime_end":"20260409T173000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-04-09", "date_end":"2026-04-09", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"17:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Water@Michigan 2026: Water+Energy", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Water@Michigan 2026: Water+Energy", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Conference \/ Symposium", "event_type_id":"5", "description":"Water@Michigan 2026: Water + Energy will bring together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and community leaders to examine how water systems and the energy transition are reshaping Michigan, the Great Lakes region, and beyond.\n \nTheme: Water + Energy\n\ud83d\udcc5 Thursday, April 9, 2026\n\ud83d\udd51 9 a.m.\u20135:30 p.m.\n\ud83d\udccdPalmer Commons, Ann Arbor\n \nThe symposium will highlight the growing connections between water and energy in infrastructure, governance, and community outcomes.

He has developed and advised on transformative policy proposals\u2014such as baby bonds, guaranteed income, and a federal job guarantee\u2014that have inspired legislation and shifted billions of dollars toward building a fair and inclusive economy.\n\nIn 2025, Professor Hamilton was named the Katherine Hampson Bessell Fellow at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute and was recognized as a Freedom Scholar by the Marguerite Casey Foundation in its 2020 inaugural class. He has advised national and global leaders on economic policy, including the U.S. Joint Economic Committee and the Senate Banking Committee and also serves on the board of directors of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).\n\nBorn and raised in Brooklyn\u2019s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, Professor Hamilton earned his bachelor\u2019s degree from Oberlin College and his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.\n\nPlease RSVP to save your seat.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"147203-21900522@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147203", "building_id":"1000145", "building_name":"Institute For Social Research", "campus_maps_id":"76", "room":"6050", "location_name":"Institute For Social Research", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Wealth","Economics","Graduate Students","Race","Social Sciences","Tax"], "website":"https:\/\/inequality.umich.edu\/darrick-hamilton-april-2026\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics (CID)", "group_id":"4866", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Institute for Social Research", "group_id":"3285", "website":"http:\/\/isr.umich.edu" }, { "group_name":"Survey Research Center", "group_id":"5063", "website":"https:\/\/src.isr.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147203_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21900522 } , "143683-21893642": { "datetime_modified":"20260401T090119", "datetime_start":"20260409T103000", "datetime_end":"20260409T115000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-04-09", "date_end":"2026-04-09", "time_start":"10:30:00", "time_end":"11:50:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Improved Inference for Nonparametric Regression (joint with G.Cavaliere, M.

Their application, however, is complicated by the presence of asymptotic bias, which undermines coverage accuracy of conventional confidence intervals. Extant solutions to the problem include debiasing methods, such as the widely applied robust bias-corrected (RBC) confidence interval of Calonico et al. (2014, 2018). We show that this interval is equivalent to a prepivoted interval based on an invalid residualbased bootstrap method. Specifically, prepivoting performs an implicit bias correction while adjusting the nonparametric regression estimator\u2019s standard error to account for the additional uncertainty introduced by debiasing. This idea can also be applied to other bootstrap schemes, leading to new implicit bias corrections and corresponding standard error adjustments. We propose a prepivoted interval based on a bootstrap that generates observations from nonparametric regression estimates at each regressor value and show how it can be implemented as an RBCtype interval without the need for resampling. Importantly, we show that the new interval is shorter than the existing RBC interval. For example, with the Epanechnikov kernel, the length is reduced by 17%, while maintaining accurate coverage probability. This result holds irrespectively of: (a) the evaluation point being in the interior or on the boundary; (b) the use of a \u2018small\u2019 or \u2018large\u2019 bandwidths; (c) the distribution of the regressor and the error term.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"143683-21893642@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143683", "building_id":"1005177", "building_name":"North Quad", "campus_maps_id":"553", "room":"4300", "location_name":"North Quad", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["seminar","Econometrics","Economics"], "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/econ", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Economics", "group_id":"3302", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/econ" }, { "group_name":"Econometrics", "group_id":"3546", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Economics Seminars", "group_id":"3566", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143683_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21893642 } }
