Archives of Resistance presents art, prisoner correspondence, research publications, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project, Immigrant Justice Lab, Black & Pink at SPH, ICE in the Heartland, Critical Carceral Visualities, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \r\n\r\nThe U-M Carceral State Project, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners, many graduate students, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \r\n\r\nThrough public scholarship, creative expression, multimedia storytelling, and archival documentation, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization, policing, incarceration, immigrant detention, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond.

For many chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), benefit-risk tradeoff is usually an important concern for decision making in the sense that treatments with a higher benefit may lead to an increased risk of adverse outcomes (e.g., more intensive insulin treatment may lead to more hypoglycemia events). It is thus desirable to learn the optimal DTRs while constraining the risk to be within a tolerable range. In this talk, we propose a learning framework for this purpose. The framework allows the risk constraint to be imposed either at each stage for an acute risk outcome, or cumulatively over all the stages for a long-term risk outcome. Using surrogate loss functions in empirical risk minimization, the optimal DTRs are obtained by solving a sequence of weighted support vector machine problems in a backward fashion. Theoretically, we show that the estimated DTRs are Fisher consistent and we further provide the convergence rates for the value and risk functions associated with the estimated DTRs. Lastly, the proposed method is demonstrated via simulation studies and an application to a two-stage clinical trial for treating T2D.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"144000-21894509@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144000", "building_id":"1000167", "building_name":"West Hall", "campus_maps_id":"163", "room":"340", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["seminar"], "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/stats", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Statistics", "group_id":"3473", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Statistics Seminar Series", "group_id":"3585", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144000_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21894509 } , "137880-21880965": { "datetime_modified":"20250821T100218", "datetime_start":"20260123T100000", "datetime_end":"20260123T120000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-01-23", "date_end":"2026-01-23", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"12:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Write with ME!", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Write with ME!", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Social \/ Informal Gathering", "event_type_id":"19", "description":"Working on an abstract?

Opinions range from the view that oak species hybridize relatively rarely to the view that related oaks form syngameons, near-freely interbreeding complexes of species. Understanding species boundaries and gene flow in oaks is essential to conserving the ca. 425 global oak species on which humans and hundreds to thousands of arthropod, fungus, vertebrate, and plant species depend. In this talk, I provide an overview of how our understanding of oak species boundaries and hybrids has grown from the early 19th Century to today. Molecular data from the past two decades show that individual oaks exhibit a wide range of mixed-species ancestry, with as many as 20% of individuals averaged across studies admixed at a level of 10% or higher. This means that hybridization is quite common in many oak species, and some of the resulting gene flow may play a role in population adaptation and species migration. Nonetheless, oaks form genetically distinct species, and that species diversity is crucial to the function of forests, savannas, and other oak-dominated forests across much of the northern hemisphere.

Studios, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator, MFA \u201920) and Abhishek Narula (MFA \u201920); and Sometimes Space, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I, MFA \u201921). 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\u2019ve 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 \u201923) and Erin McKenna (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA \u201920) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA \u201920)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA \u201920) and Nathan Byrne (MFA \u201921)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich\u2019s famous \u201crock\u201d to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950\u2019s, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest, creativity, and ritual, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as \u201cFordite\u201d (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called \u2018Detroit agate\u2019), Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed, sculpted, sealed, assembled, and macro-photographed, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement, expression, coherence, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged, photographed, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements\/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history, popular culture, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity, absurdity, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University, The New York Public Library, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP\/Journal, BOMB Magazine, Sculpture Magazine, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website \/ Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions, installations, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design, and is grounded in the concept of the \u201ccommons,\u201d that which is shared, as well as that which is ordinary, banal, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.
