What is a Case Study? 
A case competition is an academic competition where self-selected, interdisciplinary teams receive a case study for a limited period of time. During this period, the teams utilize their teamwork, critical thinking, analyzing, and organizational skills to deduce a recommendation that they support in a presentation in front of judges or company sponsors. The teams must hone in on the most prominent issues related to the identified challenge and, using a variety of resources, develop a strategy to address these key issues in order to help companies achieve their goals.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 
 
As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.
 
This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.
 
So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.
 
Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  
 
In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 
 
By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 
 
“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 
 
— Toni Morrison

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.
 
Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.
 
Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 
 
We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

His music is poetry in motion, using harmonics, looping, multiple capos, and his unique banter and stage presence to deliver an unforgettable live concert experience. Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing, but seeing the fan-dubbed “Acoustic Ninja” play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers.

Bundy’s unique career has brought him across the world, with concerts in 28 countries and counting – from high-tech performance halls in South Korea and Italy, to remote villages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala. He has independently sold over 150,000 albums on his record label, Honest Ninja Music. His video clips circulate virally at astonishing speed, with over 45 million YouTube views to date.
Dave Kirby from the Boulder Weekly says “Possessing a staggering acoustic technique, on both right and left sides, Bundy has made his reputation as a next generation solo guitarist of serious repute.”

Audiocast Magazine from Austin, TX agrees: “Bundy’s live show is without a doubt an event that needs to be witnessed rather than told about. With such a jaw-dropping performance, Bundy’s live concert is a slap in the face that would leave a palm print on the memory of everyone in the audience.”

What is a Case Study? 
A case competition is an academic competition where self-selected, interdisciplinary teams receive a case study for a limited period of time. During this period, the teams utilize their teamwork, critical thinking, analyzing, and organizational skills to deduce a recommendation that they support in a presentation in front of judges or company sponsors. The teams must hone in on the most prominent issues related to the identified challenge and, using a variety of resources, develop a strategy to address these key issues in order to help companies achieve their goals.

The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2, 2024.

We invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss, grief, healing, and protection. The seventeen life-size figures, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau’s life, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience, reflecting the healing power of art.

Ann Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25, 2024. During her stay, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.

Ann Savageau, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.

Don't miss this opportunity to witness the transformative impact of Savageau's work and engage with her during her residency. We look forward to seeing you at the RC Art Gallery.

While all of the action in Virginia Woolf’s modernist masterpiece takes place on a single day, as preparations are made for Clarissa Dalloway’s evening party, Woolf’s stream of consciousness writing takes us in the characters’ minds all the way from English drawing rooms to colonial India to the trenches of World War I.

From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota, where no skyscrapers exist, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia. After returning home to Detroit, Glazer began his griot series, the “Motor City Griot Society” masks, the faces of the superheroes that will save Detroit, and more recently the “Motor City Griot Patrol” creatures that will protect the city of Detroit.",https://events.umich.edu/event/124670,"North Campus Research Complex Building 18","Rotunda Gallery","North Campus Research Complex Building 18",,"Art

A little thought reveals that some of these concepts seem to be much more complicated than others. For example, while in calculus one learns to approximately ""check"" if a function is continuously differentiable (just draw a graph and zoom in!), it seems absolutely hopeless to check plain differentiability in any systematic way.

In this talk, I will discuss two key areas, with a focus on the challenges in modeling the spectral energy distributions in the JWST era. First, a central science goal of JWST is finding the first galaxies, which often requires modeling of photometric data to select candidates for spectroscopic follow-up. I will show the modeling work that turns the nearby cluster A2744 to one of deepest views of our universe, as part of the UNCOVER survey. The resulting rich, public dataset, reveals stellar populations across 0.2 < z < 13, and helps to lead to the discovery of the surprisingly large galaxies at z > 12. I will also briefly discuss how this exquisite dataset is poised to redefine our census of galaxy populations. Second, the optical/IR sensitivity of JWST has led to the discovery of compact red sources, initially interpreted as apparently massive galaxies at z > 7. This interpretation yields a strongly accelerated time line compared to standard models of galaxy growth. Yet, major uncertainties remain about their nature due to the limited photometric data. I will present detailed studies of these so-far mysterious ""little red dots"", enabled by the spectroscopic data from the RUBIES program. Remarkably, we find clear signatures of evolved stellar populations, the formation histories of which extend hundreds of millions of years into the past in galaxies only 600–800 Myr after the big bang. Confoundingly, some of them exhibit broad Balmer emission lines, suggesting that dust-reddened AGNs contribute to, or even dominate, the spectral energy distributions red-ward of ~rest 0.6μm. I will explore potential origins and evolutionary tracks, from the cores of massive galaxies to low-mass galaxies with over-massive black holes, and conclude with remaining puzzles and possible future directions to form a complete physical picture of these intriguing systems.",https://events.umich.edu/event/125117,"West Hall",340,"West Hall",,"Physics

How the way diversity is framed impacts majority and minority group members

Stacey Sinclair will describe a program of research that examines the ironic nature of efforts to support racial diversity in American universities. American universities are more apt to embrace racial diversity because it serves institutional goals, such as enhancement of group learning and corresponding cognitive skills (i.e., institutional rationales), rather than because it manifests institutional values, such as fairness (i.e., moral rationales). Our research suggests that instrumental rationales do not reflect the preferences of those they are purported to serve, low-status racial minorities. Rather, they comport with the preferences of White Americans, especially political conservatives. Further, embracing instrumental rationales in the absence of moral rationales is associated with negative outcomes for low-status racial minorities.


The RCGD Seminar Series on the Social Psychology of Systemic Racism meets Mondays from 3:30 to 5 at ISR Thompson 1430. When speaker permission is given, events will be recorded and posted within a few weeks to YouTube.

The Social Psychology of Systemic Racism
What are the points of connection between structures and individuals when we think about bias? In the Fall 2024 RCGD Seminar Series “The Social Psychology of Systemic Racism,” an all-star lineup of behavioral and political psychologists will define what, in their words, makes systemic racism systemic, and how extra-individual levels of analysis could be incorporated in social psychological theories and methods.

Group Dynamics Seminar Series
The Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization, evolution and human behavior, and cultural psychology",https://events.umich.edu/event/124907,"Institute For Social Research",1430,"Institute For Social Research",,"Diversity

Through memories of the Great Textile Strike of 1982–1983, this talk looks for the truths within “fictions” told by Dhanraj workers. Through “untrue” stories, she engages the notion of an impossible subject and explore the crisis of an impossible story: what do anthropologists do with informant testimonies we know to be factually incorrect? How do we collect, interpret, and use informant lies, manipulations, and untruths as critical archival material? She attempts to answer these questions through her relationship with someone she calls Kishan, a North Indian textile worker from Bihar. In doing so, she shows what it looks like to live precariously in a space of ruination.

Maura Finkelstein is a writer, ethnographer, and former associate professor of anthropology. She is the author of *The Archive of Loss: Lively Ruination in Mill Land Mumbai*, published by Duke University Press in 2019.

Using this description, we produce elements of the depth-r center by constructing a map to the depth- r center from a certain subalgebra ( which we call stable functions) of the algebra of invariant functions on the r-th Moy Prasad filtration quotient  of hyperspecial parahorics. We use these elements to attach an invariant to each depth-r irreducible representation, and show that this is equal to the semi-simple part of minimal K-types contained in the irreducible representation.

Upon tuning the parameters of this model, one can realize certain `higher-order' eigenvalue correlations at the endpoints of the density of eigenvalues. In the 1-matrix model, these higher-order correlation kernels can be written in terms of special solutions of the Painlevé I and II hierarchies. We refer to such special tunings as critical phenomena.

The 2-matrix model is an extension of the 1-matrix model, which came to be well-studied in part because it admits a much richer class of critical phenomena. In this talk, I will survey some of the conjectures regarding these critical phenomena from the physics literature, and discuss some of the physical implications of these results. In particular, I will discuss some forthcoming work (joint with Maurice Duits and Seung-Yeop Lee) regarding a special critical phenomenon in the 2-matrix model, which has implications in the theory of the Ising minimal model coupled to topological gravity.

This talk, by contrast, draws on Penelope Papalias’s experience as a founding member of the initiative dëcoloиıze hellάş and training in historical anthropology at the University of Michigan to make a case for the hidden centrality of coloniality and white supremacy to myths of Greek nation and modernity. Drawing on two ethnographic case studies, Professor Papailias uses a critical keyword of the decolonial movement, defacement, to make a case for the historic whitening (not inherent whiteness) of the Mediterranean given the connectedness of modern Greece to the project of European modernity.

Penelope Papailias is Αssociate Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Thessaly, where she directs the Pelion Summer Lab for Cultural Theory and Experimental Humanities. Having grown up in New York City, the child of a Greek immigrant, and studied English literature at Harvard (B.A) and cultural anthropology at the University of Michigan (Ph.D.) before returning/migrating to her father’s homeland, she is especially critical of the role of knowledge production in national mythologies and narratives of settler colonial states. Her research centers on historical culture, the politics of memory and monuments; media events, affective networks and witnessing of violence/death of the Other in/as the public sphere; necropolitics, ecocide, decoloniality and black geographies in the Greek context; experimental pedagogies and public anthropology. Among her publications are Genres of Recollection: Archival Poetics and Modern Greece (Palgrave Macmillian, 2005), Digital Ethnography (Kallipos, 2015, with P. Petridis), A Call to Rasanblaj: Black Feminist Futures & Ethnographic Aesthetics (ed., Rosa Luxemburg Greece, 2023) and Greek Colonialities (ed., Rosa Luxemburg Greece).",https://events.umich.edu/event/126397,"Michigan League","Michigan Room","Michigan League",,"Anthropology

In reduced plabic graphs, trip permutations both tell us important information about the postroid cell each plabic graph corresponds to and give us face labels which correspond to clusters in the cluster algebra on positroid varieties. A natural question is: Do non-reduced plabic graphs also have nice combinatorial structures on their trip permutations? I will study a special class of type A non-reduced plabic graphs called ""Plabic fences with legs,"" whose trip permutations have at most 2 disjoint cycles. I will then give a nice way to check if any given cycle arises from the trip permutation of some plabic fence with legs.",https://events.umich.edu/event/128348,"East Hall",3866,"East Hall",,Mathematics,"Student Combinatorics Seminar - Department of Mathematics

This year, MIDAS is hosting the Annual Summit in conjunction with the Academic Data Science Alliance Annual Conference. By partnering with the Academic Data Science Alliance (ADSA) this year, we leverage the reach of this national organization for data science and AI institutes in academia, expand the scope of our Summit, and bring together data science and AI leadership, researchers and educators from around the country. Thus, this event offers a unique opportunity for local attendees to interact with hundreds of attendees from other universities, hear talks from leading experts, and participate in sessions on data science and AI research, education and societal impact. 

Overview:
This year’s Annual Meeting theme is: Data Science and AI – Keeping Humans in the Loop
Data has become the essential building block for research and insight in nearly all fields. The next wave of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), is fueled by the unprecedented amount and variety of available data. Data and data-enabled technologies promise to reshape research and discovery, as well as how we live and how society functions. ADSA’24, hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data Science, will draw our focus to humanity in data and AI – humans as data producers and data engineers, humans as AI designers and developers, humans represented in data, and humans as data and AI users and as the beneficiaries or victims of data and AI. We will explore the central role of humans in the data and AI revolution: to maximize its benefits for research and innovation; to ensure that the use of data and technologies and the insights they generate are aligned with our values and priorities; and to ensure that the future workforce are prepared to continue discovery and innovation.",https://events.umich.edu/event/121573,"Michigan League",Ballroom,"Michigan League",,"Ai In Science And Engineering

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka",,Exhibition,"The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky), ritual cloths (rushnyky), and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine; some stitches are universally known, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.

What is a Case Study? 
A case competition is an academic competition where self-selected, interdisciplinary teams receive a case study for a limited period of time. During this period, the teams utilize their teamwork, critical thinking, analyzing, and organizational skills to deduce a recommendation that they support in a presentation in front of judges or company sponsors. The teams must hone in on the most prominent issues related to the identified challenge and, using a variety of resources, develop a strategy to address these key issues in order to help companies achieve their goals.

The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2, 2024.

We invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss, grief, healing, and protection. The seventeen life-size figures, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau’s life, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience, reflecting the healing power of art.

Ann Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25, 2024. During her stay, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.

Ann Savageau, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.

Don't miss this opportunity to witness the transformative impact of Savageau's work and engage with her during her residency. We look forward to seeing you at the RC Art Gallery.

The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on 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: a. The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the other portions. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary. b. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.c. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.Where can I view my results?a. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.b. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.Important information about the test* 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.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge, 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, 201, 401, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester, and Arabic 102, 202, 402, 504, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102, combined) is offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.* Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202, combined) is offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.If you have questions regarding the placement test, please contact the program director at, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.",https://events.umich.edu/event/123728,,,"1500 North Quad 105 S.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 
 
As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.
 
This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.
 
So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.
 
Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  
 
In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 
 
By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 
 
“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.”

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.
 
Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.
 
Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 
 
We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

About this seminar:  Ants are one of the most successful, abundant, and dominant animal groups in the world. Their wide distribution and vast numbers make them crucial for ecosystem functioning. The Brazilian Cerrado savanna, one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, harbors the highest ant diversity compared to other savannas worldwide. The immense environmental heterogeneity, combined with the abundance of plants providing food and shelter resources for ants, makes the Cerrado an ideal biome to investigate ant diversity across distinct biological levels. In this talk, I will share discoveries and lessons from my 13 years of studying ants in the Brazilian savanna. Together, we will explore the fascinating world of ants, delving into their beauty, natural history, and ecological roles. We will also examine their geographical distribution patterns across various biodiversity levels, some of which you may find counterintuitive. By the end, I hope to convince the audience that, despite their small size, ants are ecological giants that perform diverse and impactful ecosystem roles, with many questions still waiting to be further explored.

This study investigates the mortuary practices of palace eunuchs by focusing on their relationship with Buddhist institutions in late Ming Beijing. It considers eunuchs across different social strata, from high-ranking officials to lower-level servants, to explore how Buddhism played a role in their lives.
   
Both in non-specialist scholarship and in popular imagination, Ming eunuchs are portrayed in a negative light as powerful yet Janus-faced imperial agents whose interference in governmental affairs hastened the fall of the Ming dynasty. However, they were also one of the most active patrons of Buddhist institutions during the late Ming period. To address the underrepresentation of their religious lives in traditional historiography, Dr. Pan's research centers on their mortuary practices to see how Buddhism was experienced and expressed in their lives. It further investigates the practices conducted by eunuchs from a range of social strata, ranging from top-ranking officers to those in menial roles whose lives were less documented than their well-educated and powerful counterparts.
   
Sherry Pan is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. She earned her PhD in Religious Studies from Brown University, where she completed her dissertation that looks at the understudied religious practices of palace eunuchs in the late Ming period. Her broad research interests include cultural and religious practices relating to death and memory, as well as religion and gender in the Chinese cultural context.

Trained as an anthropologist (M.A., Columbia; PhD., Stanford), Finkelstein has recently come into public attention as, in the words of an Intercept article title, “the first tenured professor to be fired for Pro-Palestine speech” (26 September 2024). Finkelstein, who is Jewish, has long supported Palestine—in publication, on social media, in the classroom—even as she was coming up for tenure at Muhlenberg College. The story of her unprecedented firing, based on a repost of a Palestinian poet, was subsequently picked up by The Chronicle of Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed. 

Dr. Finkelstein’s talk will be based on both her publications (especially her article “What is a Classroom For? Teaching the Anthropology of Palestine,” which appeared in Society for Cultural Anthropology [2019]) and her recent experience. After her talk, she will be joined by respondents Professor Rebekah Modrak and Professor Emeritus Alan Wald.

Maura Finkelstein, author of The Archive of Loss: Lively Ruination in Mill Land Mumbai (Duke University Press, 2019), ethnographer and newly independent scholar. Her writing has appeared in Anthological Quarterly, City and Society, Cultural Anthropology, Anthropology Now, Post45, Electric Literature, Allegra Lab, Red Pepper Magazine, the Scottish Left Review,  The Markaz Review, Mondoweiss, and Al Jazeera and is forthcoming in The Anthropology of Work Review (AWR), American Anthropologist, and Cultural Anthropology.

Respondents: Professor Rebekah Modrak (University of Michigan Stamps School of Art), who just published a book on censorship in education, Trouble in Censorville: The Far Right's Assault on Public Education and the Teachers Who are Fighting Back (2024); and Professor Emeritus Alan Wald (University of Michigan, English and American Culture), who is an expert on Anti-Zionism in the US—and why it's not hate speech—and the historical experience of free speech/academic freedom and political protest.

(SFFA) v. President & Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard) and SFFA v. University of North Carolina (UNC), Nos. 20-1199 & 21-707. The Court 6–3 ruling held that Harvard and UNC admissions programs, which account for race at various stages in the process, violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In light of this decision, the institutional policies, practices, and discourses surrounding affirmative action have changed drastically.

The effects of this ruling are already apparent. Some colleges and universities have seen a substantial decrease in enrollment among Black students (see also Inside Higher Education). And, now, Students for Fair Admissions, whose lawsuits against Harvard and UNC led the Supreme Court to strike down race-conscious admissions, has placed Duke University “on notice” as they believe Duke may be “circumventing the Supreme Court’s decision.” Yale and Princeton received similar correspondence.

These scenarios beg the questions, (1) what are the legal ramifications of this Supreme Court decision, (2) what consideration should be given to lawsuits that may follow, and (3) how should institutions prepare to continue to lead for DEI in higher education in the face of resistance? This webinar and book talk will address some of these inquiries.

Dr. David J. Luke’s Affirmative Action and Black Student Success is a concrete and comprehensive exploration into diversity programs and initiatives on college campuses and their impact on Black student success and outcomes. As stated by Dr. Alford Young Jr. while offering a review of Luke’s book, “the book offers much to contemplate about whether and how diversity policy can make a difference in higher education institutions. Luke’s case analyses encourage deep reflection about whether diversity initiatives that are exclusively based on recognizing and celebrating difference truly result in durable changes in the demographic makeup of student and faculty bodies.”

In this book talk, Drs. David Luke and Alford Young engage in a praxis centered discussion that will address affirmative action, diversity initiatives designed to support Black students (and, when relevant, Black faculty), and various interconnected topics.

However, experimental elastic constants of functional materials are relatively sparse in the literature, and temperature-dependent data is even less common.  We aim to address this, one material system at a time, using a technique called resonant ultrasound spectroscopy.  In this talk, I will discuss how compositional changes and phase transformations (e.g., order disorder, martensitic transitions) impact elasticity, and therefor thermal transport. First, we show that vacancies in the planar MX honeycomb lattice of AMX Zintls lead to a decrease in sound velocity and a sharp increase in point defect scattering, thus reducing k_L by nearly 80%.   The second part of the talk will focus on the effects of a supersonic phase transition - fundamentally an order disorder transition - in the layered CuCrX_2 (X = S, Se, T).  Lastly, we explore the (GeSe)_{1−x}−(AgBiSe_2)_x system, in which alloying transforms the structure from orthorhombic to rhombohedral to cubic rock-salt, with the latter being the thermodynamically stable at a high temperature across the entire compositional range. We found an anomalous increase in the elastic moduli upon the transition from the rhombohedral to the cubic rock salt structure.  Density functional theory suggests that this stiffening is caused by the tendency of Ge to exhibit strongly expressed lone-pair orbitals, which switch from fully oriented in the rhombohedral phase to randomly oriented in the cubic phase. Supporting this argument, decreased Ge content, and thus weakened lone-pair expression, leads to a less pronounced stiffening at the phase transition.    These examples underscore the critical role of high-temperature elastic moduli in unraveling the complex interplay between chemical bonding, structural transformations, and thermoelectric properties, offering insight into the design and optimization of new materials.

Bio: Alexandra Zevalkink received her B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from Michigan Technological University in 2008 and her Ph.D. in the same discipline at the California Institute of Technology in 2014.  After completing her Ph.D., she pursued postdoctoral research at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, Germany. She joined the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Michigan State University in 2016, where she is currently an C. Robert and Kathryn M. Weir Endowed Associate Professor.  Her research focus is on the relationship between the atomic structure and bonding in inorganic materials and the resulting elastic, thermal and electronic properties.  Her group employs a diverse set of tools including in-situ elasticity measurements, high-pressure and high-temperature X-ray diffraction, and a suite of single crystal growth and powder metallurgy techniques.  Funding for her group’s research and public outreach has been provided by the National Science Foundation (e.g., NSF-CAREER, NSF-DMREF), the Department of Energy (DOE-BES), NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Ceramic and Glass Industry Foundation.",https://events.umich.edu/event/128097,"West Hall",340,"West Hall",,"Physics

Administrations from both parties have shifted attention from society-wide benefits and costs of environmental policy to the distribution of benefits and costs, both for regulation and industrial policy. However, as concepts of justice rooted in grass-roots advocacy and academia collide with the opportunity structure of federal policymaking and implementation, environmental justice has gained new meanings, including definitions rejected by most activists and absent from academic writing. While the adoption of environmental justice discourse is evidence of the movement's impact on policymaking, the disparate meanings of justice paint a more complex picture of the movement's impact on substantive policy outcomes. This talk addresses how scholars can systematically study the impacts of environmental justice advocacy then the terms of the debate are contested.

More recently, the double null foliation has proven to be a powerful tool for quantitative analysis of the Einstein equations. It has been used to answer many questions in general relativity, including stability problems and trapped surface formation. However, the local existence problem for the Einstein equations in a double null foliation has never been treated fully in its own right.

Reporting the Russian War Against Ukraine","Nataliya Gumenyuk, Ukrainian journalist and author","Lecture / Discussion","In the first days following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Public Interest Journalism Lab co-founded The Reckoning Project, an initiative of Ukrainian and international reporters, lawyers, and analysts to document alleged war crimes in all the regions of Ukraine. Since then, they have collected evidence of the shelling of civilians during evacuation, their abduction, torture, and execution, as well as collected evidence of Russia’s deliberate attacks on hospitals, maternity wards, train stations, and residential areas. How to document every tragedy in a way that nobody will ever be able to deny they occurred? How do we reunite truth with justice? And how are Ukrainians resisting?
   
   Gumenyuk will show that a decade of democratization and reforms in Ukraine strengthened the country and was pivotal for its resilience. Ukrainians are fighting not only against a foreign invasion but for their chosen way of life based on the rule of law, pluralism, and freedom. Reporting from various regions of Ukraine, Gumenyuk traces the war’s development and captures how the foundational principles of democracy and political freedom are making Ukrainian defense possible.
   
 Nataliya Gumenyuk is a prominent Ukrainian journalist and author specializing in conflict reporting. She is the founder and CEO of the Public Interest Journalism Lab (PIJL) which promotes constructive discussion around complex social issues. After the full-scale Russian invasion, Gumenyuk pivoted to frontline media reporting and with her team co-founded The Reckoning Project: Ukraine Testifies, which documents war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Russia.                                         

In 2023 under Gumenyuk's leadership within the * Connecting The Continents*initiative, PIJL brought to Ukraine senior editors, public intellectuals, and journalists from Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

As a foreign news correspondent, she has reported from over 50 countries. She has been reporting on the invasion of Crimea since 2014, as well as on the conflict in Eastern Ukraine. She regularly writes for *Foreign Affairs, The Guardian, The Atlantic*, and *The Washington Post*, She also contributes to *Rolling Stone, Die Zeit*, and *Vanity Fair*, and provides commentary for CNN, MSNBC, Sky News, Radio Monocle 24, and other media outlets..

Gumenyuk is the author of several documentaries and books, including *The Lost Island: Tales From The Occupied Crimea* (2020) and *The Maidan Tahrir* — on the development after the Arab Spring — as well as co-author of *The Scariest Days of My Life. The Dispatches of the Reckoning Project.*                                                                  

Gumenyuk was the co-founder and head of independent Ukrainian Hromadske TV and Hromadske International, and is currently a Board member.

She is the recipient of the 2022 Media Freedom Award and 2022 NED Democracy Award, as well as the 2023 Hanns Joachim Friedrichs Prize

What if what we have been seeking has always been revealed? If our goal is the totality of all experience—being one with everything—then it cannot be fully known, as we can only grasp a part, never the whole. How, then, can we access that which can never be known? Why is this possible in the Zen mindset of Beginner’s Mind?

Haemin Sunim is a Korean Zen Buddhist teacher and the author of two Sunday Times bestselling books: *The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down* and *Love for Imperfect Things*. His works have sold over 6 million copies worldwide and are translated into 38 languages. They serve as popular guides for both meditation and navigating the challenges of modern life.

This year, MIDAS is hosting the Annual Summit in conjunction with the Academic Data Science Alliance Annual Conference. By partnering with the Academic Data Science Alliance (ADSA) this year, we leverage the reach of this national organization for data science and AI institutes in academia, expand the scope of our Summit, and bring together data science and AI leadership, researchers and educators from around the country. Thus, this event offers a unique opportunity for local attendees to interact with hundreds of attendees from other universities, hear talks from leading experts, and participate in sessions on data science and AI research, education and societal impact. 

Overview:
This year’s Annual Meeting theme is: Data Science and AI – Keeping Humans in the Loop
Data has become the essential building block for research and insight in nearly all fields. The next wave of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), is fueled by the unprecedented amount and variety of available data. Data and data-enabled technologies promise to reshape research and discovery, as well as how we live and how society functions. ADSA’24, hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data Science, will draw our focus to humanity in data and AI – humans as data producers and data engineers, humans as AI designers and developers, humans represented in data, and humans as data and AI users and as the beneficiaries or victims of data and AI. We will explore the central role of humans in the data and AI revolution: to maximize its benefits for research and innovation; to ensure that the use of data and technologies and the insights they generate are aligned with our values and priorities; and to ensure that the future workforce are prepared to continue discovery and innovation.",https://events.umich.edu/event/121573,"Michigan League",Ballroom,"Michigan League",,"Ai In Science And Engineering

What is a Case Study? 
A case competition is an academic competition where self-selected, interdisciplinary teams receive a case study for a limited period of time. During this period, the teams utilize their teamwork, critical thinking, analyzing, and organizational skills to deduce a recommendation that they support in a presentation in front of judges or company sponsors. The teams must hone in on the most prominent issues related to the identified challenge and, using a variety of resources, develop a strategy to address these key issues in order to help companies achieve their goals.

The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2, 2024.

We invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss, grief, healing, and protection. The seventeen life-size figures, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau’s life, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience, reflecting the healing power of art.

Ann Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25, 2024. During her stay, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.

Ann Savageau, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.

Don't miss this opportunity to witness the transformative impact of Savageau's work and engage with her during her residency. We look forward to seeing you at the RC Art Gallery.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 
 
As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.
 
This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.
 
So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

Kelly Church &amp; Cherish Parrish: In Our Words, An Intergenerational Dialogue is a major exhibition that centers the subjectivities of two contemporary Indigenous artists whose practices have sustained and bolstered the relevance of the age-old Anishinaabe practice of black ash basket-making in the 21st century. The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors), young folx, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories, as well as those of survivance and resilience, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing, thinking, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works, including 15-17 new works. Together, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women, culture wars, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living, sustenance, and making.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.
 
Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  
 
In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 
 
By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 
 
“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.”

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.
 
Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.
 
Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 
 
We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home, placemaking, labor, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.
Artist’s bio:
Michelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist, educator, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting, bead weaving, embroidery, jewelry, transparent film installations, painting, ceramics, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story, re-make, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx, Chicanx, Mexican, and Texican peoples. 

Recently, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania), Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas, TX).

In fact, most self assembled structures contain some degree of frustration. In some cases, the frustration is locally resolved and leads to little or no structural consequence, while in other cases it dominates the assembly's size, shape, and response properties.

In this talk, I will present different manifestations of geometric frustration as they naturally arise in molecular crystals, liquid crystals, spin systems, and nanoparticle assemblies. To theoretically study these assemblies we resort to an intrinsic approach in which matter is described only through local properties available to an observer residing within the material. The frustration is then quantified by the geometric compatibility conditions whose structure allows us to classify the frustration and predict the assembly's behavior without explicitly solving for the ground state of the system.",https://events.umich.edu/event/128454,"West Hall",340,"West Hall",,"Physics

We find that a reduction in the ability to leverage personal connections affects both the job search behavior of connected individuals and employers’ hiring decisions. Moreover, hires after the reform are of higher quality, have lower separation rates and absenteeism, and are more likely to be promoted. We also show that the decrease in connected hires improves the operational and budgetary efficiency of public sector establishments.

As such technologies reach, and even surpass, quantum measurement limits, they can enable new searches for extremely weakly coupled phenomena including gravitational waves, dark matter, and sterile neutrinos.

As a demonstration of these techniques, I will describe an initial search for dark matter using an optically levitated nanogram mass sensor, which can exceed the sensitivity of even large underground detectors for certain classes of dark matter in just a few days of operation. If a signal were detected, such sensors may be able to correlate its direction with earth’s motion through the galaxy, allowing definitive confirmation that such a signal arose from dark matter. In addition, I will discuss future applications of such sensors to neutrino physics in a table-top scale experiment. Results from a recent proof-of-principle measurement demonstrate that the force imparted by a single nuclear decay occurring within an optically levitated, dust-sized particle can be detected.",https://events.umich.edu/event/126099,"West Hall",340,"West Hall",,"Physics

For example, while waiting for an interview, in line at a M-Den, or in an elevator on campus, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in, or comment on the current situation.

The achievement of ignition and gain on NIF has validated the scientific basis of inertial confinement fusion (ICF). The Department of Energy (DOE) and venture capital funded private companies are again interested in inertial fusion energy (IFE). The new DOE Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program and other Federal programs are creating public–private partnerships to accelerate progress toward fusion pilot plants. The U.S. leads in ICF, but the race to develop the first IFE power plant is an international competition. Private companies will need to play a leading role in developing the necessary technologies. This talk will provide a 50-year perspective as well as discuss promising strategies for the U.S. IFE program from both public and private viewpoints. It will also describe the re-search of three companies that I am advising: HB11 Energy Pty Ltd. (aneutronic proton–boron fuel cycle), 2) Xcimer Energy (IFE technology to achieve high laser energies), and 3) Fuse Federal (next generation pulsed power technologies for both defense and energy applications).

About the Speaker: 
Dr. Tom Mehlhorn is an advisor to several private fusion companies including HB11 Energy Pty LTD, Xcimer Energy, and Fuse Energy. He is also an adjunct professor of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan, and a Distinguished Visiting Scientist at the University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics. From 2009 to 2019 he directed the Naval Research Laboratory Division of Plasma Physics, following a 31-year career in pulsed power fusion and high energy density physics at Sandia National Laboratories. He is the author/coauthor of over 160 papers (H-index=43). He was recognized in 2004 with a University of Michigan Engineering Alumni Society Merit Award (NERS) and is a Fellow of the AAAS in Physics (2006), the APS Division of Plasma Physics (2011), the IEEE (2014), and the ANS (2020). In 2019 he received the IEEE Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society Peter Haas Award and a Lockheed Martin NOVA Award for Thermonuclear Neutrons on Z in 2003.

Smith, and the Battle Between Democracy and Autocracy in Mid-Century America","Samuel G. Freedman","Lecture / Discussion","The deep ideological and political tensions in the United States today have historical antecedents. Some of them, like the Civil War and the Vietnam War years, are already well-known. But there was also a profound rift in the nation during the World War II years that were, superficially, a time of American unity. Two of the repeated antagonists in that period of polarization were Hubert Humphrey, then the young, liberal mayor of Minneapolis, and Gerald L.K. Smith, the self-proclaimed Christian Nationalist and founder of the America First political party. Drawing on his acclaimed book ""Into the Bright Sunshine: Young Hubert Humphrey and the Fight for Civil Rights,"" professor and author Samuel G. Freedman takes us back to their confrontations in the 1940s—confrontations with many parallels applicable today.

Biography:

Samuel G. Freedman is an award-winning author, columnist, and professor. A former columnist for The New York Times and a professor at Columbia University, he is the author of the ten acclaimed books. The most recent of them, Into the Bright Sunshine: Young Hubert Humphrey and the Fight for Civil Rights, won the 2024 Hillman Prize for Book Journalism.

Freedman is the author of ten books, including Small Victories: The Real World of a Teacher, Her Students and Their High School, a finalist for the 1990 National Book Award, and The Inheritance: How Three Families and America Moved from Roosevelt to Reagan and Beyond, a finalize for the 1997 Pulitzer Prize. Freedman was a staff reporter for The New York Times from 1981 through 1987. From 2004 through 2008 he wrote the paper’s “On Education” column, and from 2006 through 2016 he wrote the “On Religion” column.

A tenured professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Freedman was named the nation's outstanding journalism educator in 1997 by the Society of Professional Journalists. In 2012, he received Columbia University’s coveted Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching. Freedman holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism and history from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He lives in New York with his wife, Christia Chana Blomquist.

Each of his creations are conceived in a voyeuristic way that pushes the spectator to wonder what exists beyond the scope of the work. Each character in this humorous and interpretative world becomes a reflection of our society.

121791-21847289,"2024-10-30 20:00:00",,"Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore with The Guilty Ones","Presented by The Ark",Performance,"When Grammy winner Dave Alvin and Grammy nominee Jimmie Dale Gilmore made the album Downey To Lubbock together in 2018, they wrote the title track as a sort of mission statement. “I know someday this old highway’s gonna come to an end,” Alvin sings near the song’s conclusion. Gilmore answers: “But I know when it does you’re going to be my friend.” Six years later, they’re serving notice that the old highway hasn’t ended yet. “We’re still standing, no matter what you might hear,” they sing on “We’re Still Here,” the final track to their new album Texicali. Due out Jun 21, 2024 on Yep Roc Records, Texicali continues to bridge the distance between the two troubadours’ respective home bases of California (Alvin) and Texas (Gilmore).

The album’s geographic theme reflects Alvin’s repeated journeys to record in Central Texas with Gilmore and the Austin-based backing band that has toured with the duo for the past few years. The 11 songs on Texicali also connect the duo’s shared fondness for a broad range of American music forms. On their own, both have been prominent artists for decades. A philosophical songwriter with a captivating, almost mystical voice, Gilmore co-founded influential Lubbock group the Flatlanders in the early 1970s. Alvin first drew attention as a firebrand guitarist and budding young songwriter with Los Angeles roots-rockers the Blasters in the early 1980s.

Gilmore is primarily known for left-of-center country music, while Alvin’s compass points largely toward old-school blues. But there’s a lot of ground to cover beyond those foundations, and both artists also are well-known for transcending genre limitations. So it’s not surprising that they’ve spiked Texicali with cosmic folk narratives, deep R&B grooves and even swinging reggae rhythms.

When we manage to listen to the heart and capture the inspiration that comes from within, we learn to master our life.

This year, MIDAS is hosting the Annual Summit in conjunction with the Academic Data Science Alliance Annual Conference. By partnering with the Academic Data Science Alliance (ADSA) this year, we leverage the reach of this national organization for data science and AI institutes in academia, expand the scope of our Summit, and bring together data science and AI leadership, researchers and educators from around the country. Thus, this event offers a unique opportunity for local attendees to interact with hundreds of attendees from other universities, hear talks from leading experts, and participate in sessions on data science and AI research, education and societal impact. 

Overview:
This year’s Annual Meeting theme is: Data Science and AI – Keeping Humans in the Loop
Data has become the essential building block for research and insight in nearly all fields. The next wave of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), is fueled by the unprecedented amount and variety of available data. Data and data-enabled technologies promise to reshape research and discovery, as well as how we live and how society functions. ADSA’24, hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data Science, will draw our focus to humanity in data and AI – humans as data producers and data engineers, humans as AI designers and developers, humans represented in data, and humans as data and AI users and as the beneficiaries or victims of data and AI. We will explore the central role of humans in the data and AI revolution: to maximize its benefits for research and innovation; to ensure that the use of data and technologies and the insights they generate are aligned with our values and priorities; and to ensure that the future workforce are prepared to continue discovery and innovation.",https://events.umich.edu/event/121573,"Michigan League",Ballroom,"Michigan League",,"Ai In Science And Engineering

The group’s name, rummage, evokes both a materiality and an intellectual practice characteristic of museum studies more broadly. On the one hand, rummaging has a tactile quality. It gestures to the human role in how objects are placed and misplaced, organized and disorganized, thrown into juxtaposition, and often randomly re-discovered anew by individuals negotiating various value systems associated with objects. It evokes an image of coming to objects of the past with new eyes and curiosity. On the other hand, rummaging could also be used to describe an intellectual approach. In posing questions about the how and why certain narratives come to be exhibited and interpreted, we root around historical understandings of heritage and the power dynamics that lead certain narratives to become dominant. This process is guided by curiosity, a drive to understand, and a skepticism of ordering systems. ",https://events.umich.edu/event/128047,,,https://umich.zoom.us/j/97111697414,,Sessions,"Sessions @ Michigan"

The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2, 2024.

We invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss, grief, healing, and protection. The seventeen life-size figures, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau’s life, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience, reflecting the healing power of art.

Ann Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25, 2024. During her stay, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.

Ann Savageau, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 
 
As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.
 
This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.
 
So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.
 
Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  
 
In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 
 
By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 
 
“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 
 
— Toni Morrison

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.
 
Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.
 
Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 
 
We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Abstract:
Safe operation in unstructured environments, like homes or offices, is imperative for robust robotic systems. At the core of unstructured environments is uncertainty. Failing to consider uncertainty can lead to downstream task failures with costly and even dangerous consequences.

There are many types of uncertainty that need to be considered for real-world systems in unstructured environments. In this dissertation, I focus on uncertainty of in-hand object pose for objects grasped by a robotic system. If not addressed, this type of uncertainty can lead to potential failures including grasp instability and unexpected or unreliable contacts made with the environment (including other robots, objects, or humans). These types of failures significantly impact task performance for applications including robotic tool use, assembly, object hand-over, and human-robot interaction.

This dissertation makes several contributions to in-hand object pose estimation using proprioceptive and tactile feedback. Firstly, I provide a proprioceptive method to estimate contact locations and in-hand object poses simultaneously in a bimanual system from single contact-rich interactions. Then, I build upon this approach to connect several sequential actions in order to more precisely estimate in-hand object poses. Next, I incorporate robot proprioception uncertainty with this proprioceptive in-hand object pose estimation framework to adapt to real-world challenges with configuration-dependent robot proprioception uncertainty. Finally, I introduce the GelSlim 4.0 sensor, a powerful visuotactile sensor that enables key tactile sensing capabilities like depth estimation and shear field estimation. With accessibility as an explicit design goal, this sensor is accompanied by open-source manufacturing documentation that we user-tested with 17 novice users. In summary, this dissertation contributes algorithms and hardware for robotic manipulation that leverage proprioceptive and tactile feedback to address uncertainty in in-hand object poses.",https://events.umich.edu/event/128294,"Ford Robotics Building",2300,"Ford Robotics Building",,"Michigan Robotics

Kelly Church &amp; Cherish Parrish: In Our Words, An Intergenerational Dialogue is a major exhibition that centers the subjectivities of two contemporary Indigenous artists whose practices have sustained and bolstered the relevance of the age-old Anishinaabe practice of black ash basket-making in the 21st century. The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors), young folx, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories, as well as those of survivance and resilience, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing, thinking, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works, including 15-17 new works. Together, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women, culture wars, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living, sustenance, and making.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home, placemaking, labor, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.
Artist’s bio:
Michelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist, educator, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting, bead weaving, embroidery, jewelry, transparent film installations, painting, ceramics, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story, re-make, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx, Chicanx, Mexican, and Texican peoples. 

Recently, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania), Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas, TX).

Although FragPipe produces well-formatted output tables that are ready for analysis, there is still a need for an easy-to-use and user-friendly downstream statistical analysis and visualization tool. FragPipe-Analyst addresses this need by providing an R shiny web server to assist FragPipe users in conducting downstream analyses of the resulting quantitative proteomics data. It supports major quantification workflows, including label-free quantification, tandem mass tags, and data-independent acquisition. FragPipe-Analyst offers a range of useful functionalities, such as various missing value imputation options, data quality control, unsupervised clustering, differential expression (DE) analysis using Limma, and gene ontology and pathway enrichment analysis using Enrichr. To support advanced analysis and customized visualizations, we also developed FragPipeAnalystR, an R package encompassing all FragPipe-Analyst functionalities that is extended to support site-specific analysis of post-translational modifications (PTMs). FragPipe-Analyst and FragPipeAnalystR are both open-source and freely available.

Self-powered wearable sensor systems can not only increase adoption and compliance but also enable long-term and continuous monitoring of key health and environmental parameters. To achieve this, wearable devices must integrate a multimodal array of sensors that enable non-invasive, continuous, real-time monitoring, have a long operational lifetime to gather meaningful long-term data, and remain comfortable and flexible to ensure user adoption. The National Science Foundation-funded Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) is developing precisely such devices, capable of continuous monitoring of personal environments and health. These capabilities are made possible by breakthroughs in power management, low-power electronics, and innovative health and environmental sensors, all seamlessly integrated into wearable, comfortable form factors. In this talk, I will specifically focus on how advances in energy harvesting and sensor systems are making continuous monitoring a reality. Innovations in thermoelectric and piezoelectric harvesters, catalyzed by optimized system design and flexible materials, have enabled long-term operation of sensors for vigilant monitoring. Sensor advances in electronic-nose, optical imaging and human health are providing a complete multi-modal picture into human health and its relationship environment. I will also present the applications that these sensor systems are enabling such as long-term sensing and effective management of chronic conditions, sensing of personal exposure to air pollutants and toxins and longitudinal studies that provide new insight into correlation of various health and environmental parameters. I will also provide examples of translation of sensor systems and innovative education of the engineering pipeline enabled by the ecosystem associated with an NSF engineering research center.

Abstract: For many supervised learning applications, understanding and visualizing the effects
of the predictor variables on the predicted response is of paramount importance. A shortcoming
of black-box supervised learning models (e.g., complex trees, neural networks, boosted trees,
random forests, nearest neighbors, local kernel-weighted methods, support vector regression,
etc.) in this regard is their lack of interpretability or transparency. Partial dependence (PD) plots,
which are the most popular general approach for visualizing the effects of the predictors with
black box supervised learning models, can produce erroneous results if the predictors are
strongly correlated, because they require extrapolation of the response at predictor values that are
far outside the multivariate envelope of the training data. Functional ANOVA for correlated
inputs can avoid this extrapolation but involves prohibitive computational expense and
subjective choice of additive surrogate model to fit to the supervised learning model. We present
a new visualization approach that we term accumulated local effects (ALE) plots, which have a
number of advantages over existing methods. First, ALE plots do not require unreliable
extrapolation with correlated predictors. Second, they are orders of magnitude less
computationally expensive than PD plots, and many orders of magnitude less expensive than
functional ANOVA. Third, they yield convenient variable importance/sensitivity measures that
possess a number of desirable properties for quantifying the impact of each predictor.",https://events.umich.edu/event/127928,"Industrial and Operations Engineering Building",1680,"Industrial and Operations Engineering Building",,"899 Seminar Series

Motion in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans causes image corruption and remains a barrier to clinical imaging. We propose Beat Pilot Tone (BPT), a simple serendipitous system exploitation that turns any MRI receiver chain into a radio frequency (RF) motion sensing system that can operate at arbitrary frequencies (up to several GHz). Our contact-free system can be implemented on any MRI scanner regardless of field strength. Through electromagnetic field simulations and experiments, we explain BPT’s novel mechanism: two or more transmitted RF tones form motion-modulated standing wave patterns that are sensed by the same receiver coil arrays used for MR imaging. These waves are incidentally mixed by intermodulation and digitized simultaneously to the MRI data. BPT achieves an order of magnitude greater sensitivity to motion than other methods in detecting and separating common motion types (respiratory, bulk, cardiac, and head motion) in volunteers. Moreover, BPT offers tunable sensitivity to motion based on the transmit frequencies; at microwave frequencies, BPT can detect millimeter-scale vibrations (ballistocardiograms). With multiple antennas and frequency-multiplexing, BPT can operate as a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. BPT significantly expands the capability of any MRI system, paving the way toward multi-modality, motion-robust, and simultaneous RF and MR imaging.

Quasars can affect their surrounding environment through a process known as active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback, through which the quasar can curtail the formation of stars, regulate the evolution of its host galaxy, and affect its surrounding environment in other ways. One possible mechanism for this process is a quasar’s outflow, which can be observed as blueshifted absorption troughs in the quasar’s spectrum. With enough kinetic power, an outflow can contribute to AGN feedback, regulating star formation and host galaxy evolution. Analyzing the troughs of outflows found in ultraviolet spectra of quasars, observed both from the ground and in space, can reveal their physical characteristics, as well as their potential ability to contribute to feedback effects.

David’s Title: Exploring Ultra-Compact X-Ray Binaries with Reflection Modeling

Low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are X-ray sources which contain a compact object such as a black hole (BH) or neutron star (NS) accreting material from a stellar companion. A subclass of LMXB called ultra compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) contain a degenerate stellar companion such as a white dwarf (WD), resulting in a much shorter orbital period. We study one UCXB candidate and one verified UCXB using a process called reflection modeling, wherein the X-ray spectrum is modeled with components representing both direct emission and emission that is reprocessed by the accretion disk. This process can allow us to better understand the geometry and behavior of accreting systems, with UCXBs probing high energy accretion on some of the smallest size scales.",https://events.umich.edu/event/128314,"West Hall",411,"West Hall",,"astronomy

About this seminar: Anthropogenic climate change is rapidly altering local ecologies... how vulnerable or robust are primates, including humans, to environmental variation, and what can this tell us about developmental impacts on lifetime health? Prof. Schmitt uses behavioral ecology, morphometric, and multiple -omics methods to study mechanistic and adaptive aspects of these questions in two non-human primate models: savanna monkeys (Chlorocebus spp.), and woolly monkeys (Lagothrix spp.). His work with Chlorocebus demonstrates that there are both heritable and epigenetic components to developmental patterns that help us to better understand the interplay between extremes in resource quality and energetics, life history, and metabolic disease. His developing work on Lagothrix expands the use of portable genomics technologies to delve into how diet, sociality, and genetic variation interact to enable the energetics of high-elevation living while also potentially constraining climatic adaptability.",https://events.umich.edu/event/125775,"Biological Sciences Building",1060,"Biological Sciences Building",,"department of ecology and evolutionary biology

Now the long version. This whole tale of the tail started in Ann Arbor, many many years ago. Explaining the embarrassment of our failure to find such estimates for so many years is the main reason for our talk. As we had to learn for our task, such tail estimates are intimately connected with conditional thinning ensembles from random matrix theory, and nonlocal versions of the so-called Painlevé equations. The unraveling of such connections was a parallel task that we had to overcome, together with many other colleagues, and led to interesting phenomena that we hadn't anticipated with our original question. During our talk, we plan to go through such developments as well.

The talk is mostly based on joint works with Promit Ghosal (University of Chicago), but partially also in works in preparation with Tom Claeys (UC Louvain), Leslie Molag (Universidad Carlos III) and Lun Zhang (Fudan University).",https://events.umich.edu/event/127998,"East Hall",4088,"East Hall",,Mathematics,"Probability and Analysis Seminar - Department of Mathematics

Overcoming the West Nile Virus, which left her partially paralyzed, Ferris demonstrates remarkable resilience and dedication in her intricate cross-hatching and emotionally charged illustrations.
My Favorite Thing Is Monsters intertwines a coming-of-age story with a murder mystery and a historical reflection on the Holocaust. Through young Karen Reyes, Ferris delves into themes of identity, fear, and the complexities of humanity. Her art, inspired by horror magazines and pulp fiction, juxtaposes the grotesque and the beautiful, fostering empathy and understanding.

Ferris challenges the boundaries of graphic literature, using the medium to address complex social issues and personal histories. Her work confronts internal and external monsters, revealing profound truths about the human experience. By pushing the limits of graphic novels, Ferris elevates the form to explore deeper narratives and emotional landscapes, inviting readers into a world where art and story are inseparable.

Ferris's contributions extend beyond her graphic novels. In April 2022, Ferris was reported among the more than three dozen comics creators who contributed to Operation USA's benefit anthology book, Comics for Ukraine: Sunflower Seeds, a project spearheaded by editor Scott Dunbier, whose profits would be donated to relief efforts for Ukrainian refugees resulting from the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

My Favorite Thing is Monsters has been translated into French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, German, and Korean. It has been honored with numerous awards, among them: The Lambda Literary Award, multiple Eisners, the Ignatz, and the Fauve d’or at the Angouleme Festival, France.

Ferris has exhibited her art extensively in the US and Europe, and prior to the pandemic she was honored to teach classes at the Louvre.

Presented in partnership with the U-M Library, Vault of Midnight, and the Ann Arbor District Library. This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.

Living Thing, the newest full-length album from Oregon-based songwriter Anna Tivel, is an arcing dive into the existential. Written through the tumultuous eyes of 2020 and recorded in Eau Claire, WI in profound collaboration with long-time friend and producer Shane Leonard, these are songs of struggle and aliveness expressed with great joy. 

“I wrote feverishly in the strange chaos of that year, suddenly out of work and attempting to understand the shifting human fabric, the depth of desperation, and the overwhelming tenacity of spirit. The resulting songs felt rhythmic and vital, with more melody and soaring chorus than I’ve explored in the past. There was no way and no means to gather a full band, and I brought the songs to Shane’s doorstep knowing and fully trusting the skill and exuberance of his creative imagination. Shane stripped everything down to the studs and we rebuilt it together, just the two of us for a month in his garage studio, Shane dreaming up each sonic layer while I chased the lyrics to one last double chorus.”",https://events.umich.edu/event/123677,,,"ARK Reserved","$20 - $30","Ark

The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2, 2024.

We invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss, grief, healing, and protection. The seventeen life-size figures, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau’s life, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience, reflecting the healing power of art.

Ann Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25, 2024. During her stay, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.

Ann Savageau, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.

Don't miss this opportunity to witness the transformative impact of Savageau's work and engage with her during her residency. We look forward to seeing you at the RC Art Gallery.

From a series of shadow box type pieces containing life like ceramic fish while teaching at a Catholic woman’s college, to building 8’ tall ceramic “skyscrapers” that barely fit into the display spaces while teaching in North Dakota, where no skyscrapers exist, and then creating installations commenting on living in Appalachia while teaching in southern West Virginia.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 
 
As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.
 
This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.
 
So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

However, ML has a strong ontology - in which only the data exist - and a strong epistemology - in which a model is considered good if it performs well on held-out training data. These philosophies are in strong conflict with both standard practices and key philosophies in the natural sciences. I identify some locations for ML in the natural sciences at which the ontology and epistemology are valuable. I also show that there are contexts in which the introduction of ML introduces strong, unwanted statistical biases. My partial answers I provide (to the question in my title) come from the particular perspective of physics.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.
 
Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  
 
In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 
 
By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 
 
“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 
 
— Toni Morrison

Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.
 
Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.
 
Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 
 
We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

Kelly Church &amp; Cherish Parrish: In Our Words, An Intergenerational Dialogue is a major exhibition that centers the subjectivities of two contemporary Indigenous artists whose practices have sustained and bolstered the relevance of the age-old Anishinaabe practice of black ash basket-making in the 21st century. The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors), young folx, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories, as well as those of survivance and resilience, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing, thinking, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works, including 15-17 new works. Together, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women, culture wars, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living, sustenance, and making.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home, placemaking, labor, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.
Artist’s bio:
Michelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist, educator, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting, bead weaving, embroidery, jewelry, transparent film installations, painting, ceramics, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story, re-make, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx, Chicanx, Mexican, and Texican peoples. 

Recently, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania), Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas, TX).

The importance of this fabric can be seen in the surviving material culture of this ancient civilization, such as the representations of figures wearing bright white linen garments in tomb paintings and intricately wrapped and carefully shrouded mummified bodies. However, unraveling the lives of the people involved in the production of these textiles is quite challenging, as these individuals are relatively invisible in the historical and archaeological record. One way to approach this problem is to examine the textiles they created with their own hands. Each thread that was spun and woven was created by communities of practice, which—through a process of situated learning—developed a shared repertoire of techniques, skills, and preferences. When we look at a handmade textile, whether ancient or modern, we are seeing the results of the countless choices made in each stage of its production. 

In this Flash Talk, Heidi Hilliker (PhD candidate in Egyptology) investigates a collection of mortuary textiles from Theban tombs of 21st and 22nd Dynasty Egypt, evaluating local similarities and differences in textile production. The textiles in question, which come from tombs at Deir el-Bahari and Bab el-Gasus, display striped patterns in undyed, blue, and red thread along the selvage (the vertical edge of the cloth formed during the weaving process). While these patterns undoubtedly served a decorative purpose, this talk argues that they also conveyed information about the makers themselves. A communities-of-practice approach suggests that these striped markings encapsulate the traditions learned within a network of weavers and may even represent intentional forms of maker’s marks used by workshops, groups, or individual weavers.

Abstract: Cell reprogramming, the transformation of a cell from one cell type to another through the introduction of exogenous transcription factors (TFs), is a rapidly developing research area that could lead to groundbreaking therapeutic technologies in areas such as tissue regeneration, disease modeling, and personalized medicine. However, there still exist many challenges obstructing its practical viability. Discovering which TFs induce reprogramming requires a combinatorial search, and testing a single
candidate set of TFs experimentally can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take multiple months. Moreover, even when an effective set of TFs is known, cell conversion efficiency lies only around 5%.

Faced with these challenges, researchers have developed computational surrogate models to rapidly explore the TF search space at a fraction of the cost of wet lab experimentation. Unfortunately, these models have seen limited success in practice due to the difficulty of capturing the complex gene-gene
interactions within the cell, most of which are still not well-understood. With the recent high-profile rise of transformer-based foundation models for natural language, researchers are now turning to the transformer to push past current performance limitations in a wide range of digital biology tasks, including cell reprogramming. Of particular interest in these models is the attention mechanism, which is potentially well-suited for capturing long-range gene-gene interactions at a higher fidelity than previously possible. In this talk, I will describe how the transformer architecture has been adapted for cellular biology and analyze the utility of one such model, Geneformer, in identifying TFs for cell reprogramming. Specifically, I will present the results of an in silico perturbation experiment for reprogramming fibroblast cells to hematopoietic stem cells and compare the outcomes to experimental results found in the literature. I will conclude the talk with a discussion of the drawbacks and limitations of the Geneformer model and provide an assessment of what will be needed in the future for digital biology to fully reap the benefits of large-scale foundation models.

Before the Holocaust, Poland was home to approximately 3.3 million Jews – making it the world’s second-largest Jewish community. By the end of World War II, Nazis and collaborators had succeeded in killing over 90% of Poland’s Jewish population, about three million people. Most survivors emigrated, but an estimated 90,000 remained – only to be expelled in large numbers through an antisemitic, government-run campaign in 1968.  

Traces of both the vibrant Jewish community that once lived in Poland – and the violence that killed and expelled so many of them – are visible in today’s contemporary Polish landscape: synagogues that are now furniture stores, doorframes that once held mezuzot, overgrown Jewish cemeteries. The Galicia Jewish Museum, located in Kazimierz, the pre-Holocaust heart of the Kraków Jewish Community, exhibits photographs of these traces. In doing so, the museum aims to complicate a narrative of Polish Jewish history that usually begins and ends solely with Auschwitz. 
In this talk, I share some of my experiences interning at the Galicia Jewish Museum this summer. Drawing on my experience giving tours of the museum’s permanent exhibition and working in the museum’s education department, I’ll discuss the tangles of remembering the Holocaust in Poland and the complex landscape of Jewish institutions in Kraków. Institutions like the Galicia Jewish Museum, I’ll argue, offer us an opportunity to reflect on the politics of memory museums, urban museology, and the decisions that face those who live among traces of genocidal violence.",https://events.umich.edu/event/127688,"Hatcher Graduate Library","Hatcher Gallery Lab, Room 100H","Hatcher Graduate Library",,"Exhibition

These beads are still used in East Africa and other regions. However, the only well-documented ethnographic records of their manufacture come from the San and Bakgalagadi communities in the Kalahari region of southern Africa. Despite this, some aspects of their social significance remain largely unexplored.

Historically, research on ostrich eggshell beads in southern Africa has focused mainly on their use in exchange contexts, with less emphasis on their role in bodily adornment or the social contexts of their manufacture and consumption. This talk reports on the production process of ostrich eggshell beads and their cultural significance among the El Molo community of Marsabit County, Kenya.

Undertaken as part of the British Museum’s Endangered Materials Knowledge Program (EMKP), this project utilized unstructured interviews, participatory videos, photography, and note-taking to document the entire process of ostrich eggshell bead manufacture.

To safeguard their employment outcomes, the popular press, policymakers, and college administrators emphasize the importance of “practical majors” as an avenue to professional success for students. Major Trade-Offs delves into the internship and early employment experiences of students from four majors to investigate the organizational and cultural infrastructure that underlies practical arts majors’ initial labor market advantages over liberal arts graduates. Drawing on almost 200 longitudinal interviews, Corey Moss-Pech shows that students with more “practical” degrees often easily enter the labor market through structured internship programs and they find entry-level jobs that are highly paid. However, these jobs mostly involve mundane clerical tasks not drawing on graduates’ major-specific skills. Those who studied the liberal arts, on the other hand, often don’t have access to such internships, struggle to enter the labor market, and land in jobs that rarely pay a middle-class wage but do meaningfully draw on their major-specific skills. These differences reflect intersectional inequality, as White middle-class men are more likely to occupy lucrative majors than women and men from less privileged backgrounds. Major Trade-Offs demonstrates the key advantages to vocational majors lie not in learning technical skills, but in smooth labor market entry, a finding that undermines how both academics and stakeholders think about the utility of college disciplines and the skills they teach. Moss-Pech lays out a new vision for the college-to-work transition, making valuable contributions to our pressing national conversation about the value of higher education in society.",https://events.umich.edu/event/128421,"Ross School of Business",R2230,"Ross School of Business",,"Business

This talk will share some recent and ongoing attempts to visualize and understand the current political landscape, as well as some quantitative patterns in political psychology and the modern information ecosystem. These recently-gathered data inform a mechanistic dynamical model of ideological drift, allowing theory to extrapolate the complex implications of micro-scale data to macro-scale outcomes---while iteratively improving and suggesting further data-gathering efforts to corner remaining uncertainty.

Now, clients are being deinstitutionalized from psychiatric hospitals and transitioned back to their households. However, this reform has been met with an unexpected increase in mutual suspicion as well as practices of supervision and accusation that challenge two assumptions: that there is a community, and that care can be performed there.

In this talk, I explore how the Community Mental Health model and the process of psychiatric deinstitutionalization are transforming the everyday lives of residents of Ciudad Norte, an impoverished district located at the outskirts of Lima, where the reform started. Drawing on 18 months (2021-2022) of ethnographic fieldwork, I evidence how this reform is not a withdrawal from the state, but a series of interventions that recalibrate residents’ subjectivities. Residents are encouraged to report neighbors’ behaviors that might indicate a mental health problem or poor care for the mentally ill, blurring the lines between truth and rumor, care and coercion, informing on and helping out. These practices of reportage and accusation—that I call suspicion as care—are informed by the mental health reform, the legacies of political violence in the 1980s, the Fujimori dictatorship in the 1990s, and the global health enterprise.""

For example, in the work of Deligne and Illusie, an infinitesimal liftability was a key ingredient for studying the degeneration of Hodge to de Rham spectral sequence. In this talk, we will discuss a particular type of lifting of varieties where we also lift the Frobenius morphism. This “Frobenius lift” has quite strong cohomological consequences, so we expect this to be rare. In fact, a conjecture of Achinger, Witaszek and Zdanowicz predicts that smooth projective varieties with Frobenius lifts are roughly built out of toric varieties and abelian varieties, and we will illustrate this conjecture by examples.",https://events.umich.edu/event/128353,"East Hall",2866,"East Hall",,Mathematics,"Student Algebraic Geometry Seminar - Department of Mathematics

Abstract: 
Natural hazards and climate change are intricately linked, with shifting climatic patterns exacerbating the frequency and intensity of natural hazards such as landslides, floods, and storms. As these threats grow in scale and unpredictability, assessing their impacts and developing mitigation strategies has become a critical challenge for ensuring the resilience of communities and ecosystems. The research explores the evolving landscape of natural hazards and climate change, emphasizing advancements in scientific methodologies, technological innovations, and interdisciplinary approaches. Addressing the critical need for proactive assessment strategies, the study highlights the integration of remote sensing, geospatial analysis, and predictive geological modeling to enhance hazard mapping and assessment. By fostering a deeper understanding of dynamic environmental processes and their interactions, this research aims to contribute to more effective strategies for sustainable development and disaster preparedness in a rapidly changing world.",https://events.umich.edu/event/123503,"1100 North University Building",1528,"1100 North University Building",,Lecture,"Earth and Environmental Sciences"

Bjarke Ingels founded BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group in 2005 after co-founding PLOT Architects in 2001 and working at OMA in Rotterdam. Bjarke defines architecture as the art and science of making sure our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives. Through careful analysis of local culture and climate, the ever-changing patterns of contemporary life, and the ebbs and flows of the global economy, Bjarke believes in the idea of information-driven design as the driving force for his creative process.

Named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time Magazine in 2016, Bjarke has designed and completed award-winning buildings globally. Bjarke was appointed Knight of the French Order des Arts et des Lettres and the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Dannebrog in 2019 and 2018, respectively. In 2021, he was selected as an ambassador of the EU’s New European Bauhaus. He was named an Honorary Fellow by the AIA in 2020, the RIBA in 2015 and the RAIC in 2014. The Wall Street Journal recognized Bjarke as Innovator of the Year in 2011, the same year he received the Danish Crown Prince’s Culture Prize. Bjarke was also awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 2004 and the ULI Award for Excellence in 2009. Alongside his architectural practice, Bjarke has taught at Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University and Rice University and is an honorary professor at the Royal Academy of Arts, School of Architecture in Copenhagen. He is a frequent public speaker and continues to hold lectures in venues such as TED, WIRED, AMCHAM, 10 Downing Street, the World Economic Forum and many more.

This memorial lecture was established to recognize John Dinkeloo’s extraordinary contributions to architecture and commemorate excellence in architectural design.

Celebrated for their daring balancing acts hundreds of feet in the air while constructing iconic landmarks, Kanien’keha:ka ironworkers have made a distinct impact on New York City since the 1920s. As their fame grew worldwide in the second half of the twentieth century, the “Mohawk ironworker” evolved into a mythical and allegorical figure in New York City folklore and a fantasy of the Western imagination.
 
Associate Professor Allan Downey will discuss this paper and associated animation which will illustrate the complex, intersecting ways popular discourse on Indigenous ironworking has influenced contemporary perceptions of Indigenous masculinity. The project explores Indigenous narratives of this history as acts of community resurgence, intellectual sovereignty, and restoration that offers a markedly different interpretation of Indigenous history.

Allan Downey is Dakelh, Nak’azdli Whut’en, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous History, Nationhood, and Self-Determination, and Associate Professor of History and Indigenous Studies Department at McMaster University. Allan is the co-director of Rotinonshón:ni Ironworkers (2020) and the author of The Creator’s Game (UBC Press, 2018) which received several national awards including the 2019 Canada Prize from the Canadian Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Created in VIM VIGOR's signature aesthetic, blending robust physicality with daring theatrical and emotional expression, this work examines Dracula's insatiable hunger as a reflection of modern loneliness. It also addresses the intersection of horror and gender, depicting how the genre eroticizes and consumes the female body.

DRACULA features choreography and performances by Shannon Gillen, Jason Cianciulli, Tzveta Kassabova, Katherine Kiessling, Lauren Roebuck and Claire Schick. The work is set against an original sound score by Marshall Chadbourne with live music by Shamus Gillen.

The exhibition will be on display from August 26 to November 2, 2024.

We invite the university community and the general public to explore this moving collection that delves into themes of loss, grief, healing, and protection. The seventeen life-size figures, crafted from found objects and beach flotsam, are a poignant response to the tragedies in Savageau’s life, including the loss of her three children. Through this deeply personal and powerful work, Savageau reimagines discarded materials as symbols of new life and resilience, reflecting the healing power of art.

Ann Savageau will be in residence in Ann Arbor and the Residential College from September 16-20 and October 20-25, 2024. During her stay, you are warmly invited to join us for a special artist reception on October 23, from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Gallery. Prior to the reception, there will be an artist's talk in the Keene Theater at 3:30 pm, where Savageau will share insights into her creative process and the inspiration behind Guardians.

Ann Savageau, a former Studio Art instructor at the Residential College from 1978 to 2002, is not only an artist but also an activist and educator. Her contributions to the Prison Creative Arts Project, where she taught a weekly art workshop at Jackson Prison for four years, showcase her commitment to using art as a tool for social change.

Don't miss this opportunity to witness the transformative impact of Savageau's work and engage with her during her residency. We look forward to seeing you at the RC Art Gallery.

While all of the action in Virginia Woolf’s modernist masterpiece takes place on a single day, as preparations are made for Clarissa Dalloway’s evening party, Woolf’s stream of consciousness writing takes us in the characters’ minds all the way from English drawing rooms to colonial India to the trenches of World War I.

A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. 
 
As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.
 
This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.
 
So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

Kelly Church &amp; Cherish Parrish: In Our Words, An Intergenerational Dialogue is a major exhibition that centers the subjectivities of two contemporary Indigenous artists whose practices have sustained and bolstered the relevance of the age-old Anishinaabe practice of black ash basket-making in the 21st century. The exhibition highlights the significance of community-based conversations between mother and daughter, and their ongoing conversations with elders (ancestors), young folx, and future generations as vital aspects of their methodology. These conversations often take place during basket gatherings - where community members come together and share stories and teachings that can encompass Anishinaabe creation stories, as well as those of survivance and resilience, to inform the materiality and liveness of their work. The curatorial and interpretive framework of this exhibition contends that the deeply situated and temporal works by Church (Stamps, BFA 1998) and Parrish (LSA, BA 2020) are repositories for Anishinaabe ways of knowing, thinking, and making that contribute to the complexity of American art and its histories. The expansive and bold practices of Church and Parrish affirm the sovereignty of Anishinaabe lifeways and the importance of including Indigenous narratives that have systematically been left out. Thus, the thematic survey of their work will explore the under-examined themes that inform their work such as Native women’s labor as carriers of culture and knowledge-keepers, the legacy of boarding schools and ancestors who walked on, the treaties in Michigan and the long-overlooked legacy of Anishinaabe intellectual life and their relevance today. Just like the practice of weaving and interlacing distinct strips of black ash to create one whole, Church and Parrish will address the diverse and interconnected themes with approximately 30-35 works, including 15-17 new works. Together, the exhibition offers an incisive critique of the colonial, racist paradigm of systemic erasure and assimilation that continues to this day, with the ongoing crises of missing and murdered Indigenous women, culture wars, and climate change that threaten Indigenous ways of living, sustenance, and making.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.
 
Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  
 
In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. 
 
By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives. 
 
“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” 
 
— Toni Morrison

Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.
 
Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.
 
Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works. 
 
We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home, placemaking, labor, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.
Artist’s bio:
Michelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist, educator, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting, bead weaving, embroidery, jewelry, transparent film installations, painting, ceramics, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story, re-make, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx, Chicanx, Mexican, and Texican peoples. 

Recently, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania), Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas, TX).

Created in VIM VIGOR's signature aesthetic, blending robust physicality with daring theatrical and emotional expression, this work examines Dracula's insatiable hunger as a reflection of modern loneliness. It also addresses the intersection of horror and gender, depicting how the genre eroticizes and consumes the female body. Set against an original sound score by Marshall Chadbourne, DRACULA captures the essence of human storytelling and the monsters we create to navigate our lives.

DRACULA features choreography and performances by Shannon Gillen, Jason Cianciulli, Tzveta Kassabova, Katherine Kiessling, Lauren Roebuck and Claire Schick. The work is set against an original sound score by Marshall Chadbourne with live music by Shamus Gillen.

This work will premiere at the Arthur Miller Theatre in Michigan before touring to Germany to be presented at dock 11 at the b12 Festival in Berlin, July 2025.

Tickets are FREE and available at the door at 7pm

It was on their own, however-following divergent paths through disparate musical traditions, countries, and cultures-that they both arrived as virtuosi and composers at the highest levels of contemporary string music. Fans of acoustic music can hardly mention one without referencing the other's work. With HAAS, these singular musicians finally record together - in duo form - for the first time. It is a collaboration a lifetime in the making, and a music encompassing travels through time and through the world From Nashville to Norway, the Celtic Isles to California, Natalie and Brittany have absorbed, adapted, and made their own world of music. The result? HAAS.

Named one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch,” Nic Gareiss (he/they) has been hailed by the New York Times for his “dexterous melding of Irish and Appalachian dance” and called “the most inventive and expressive step dancer on the scene” by the Boston Herald. Nic has earned numerous accolades including a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for traditional singer of the year and the Michigan Heritage Award, the state's highest distinction bestowed on traditional artists. Always jubilant, often puckishly queer, Nic Gareiss has emerged as one of the most beloved and singular performers of contemporary traditional dance and music.
