Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. 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.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852761@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241022T124308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Touch DESCRIPTION:Ericka Lopez is a visual artist born in Mexico and living in Los Angeles. Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Given sequentially observed data\, anytime-valid methods guarantee valid inference at adaptively chosen sample sizes\, as opposed to pre-specified sample sizes\, thereby allowing the experimenter to stop experiments early. Furthermore\, when using anytime-valid confidence intervals\, also known as confidence sequences\, the experimenter can repeatedly peek at the results over time (referred to as \"continuous monitoring\") without compromising validity.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss two recent advances in the field of anytime-valid inference. First\, I will introduce anytime-valid approaches to the problem of comparing sequential forecasters under continuous monitoring\, commonly found in meteorology\, sports\, and finance. In particular\, I will derive tight confidence sequences that can track the time-varying mean expected score difference between any two forecasters\, without requiring restrictive assumptions such as stationarity.\n\nSecond\, I will introduce a general approach to combining anytime-valid statistical evidence (\"e-process\") for a null hypothesis\, where the evidence is constructed in different information sets (filtrations). This is motivated by a common challenge arising in various sequential inference problems\, including sequential tests of randomness and independence\, as well as the sequential comparison of k-step-ahead forecasters. I will show how a simple approach based on adjusters allows us to combine arbitrary e-processes across filtrations with an asymptotically logarithmic cost.\n\nhttps://yjchoe.github.io/ UID:124600-21853252@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124600 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240904T120814 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Storytelling for Community Building DESCRIPTION:In a researcher’s toolkit\, storytelling is fundamental for meaning-making and sense-making: it can be used both to communicate scholarly information and build human connections with potential partners. In this workshop\, participants will review and practice storytelling strategies and setup. Building on this foundation\, participants will then consider how storytelling can be crucial to community building. This might include articulating stronger links between their personal experiences and the research questions they seek to address\, facilitating perspective-taking\, building relationships founded on trust and transparency\, and crafting narratives of collectively imagined futures. Participants will be introduced to research collaboration scenarios that explore how this type of communication can build bridges across disciplines and cultures\, reflect on their own experiences\, and consider how to apply blended storytelling techniques to their own future work. \nAny questions?

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.\n \nPieces 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.  \n \nIn 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. \n \nBy 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. \n \n“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.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead 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.\n  UID:84303-21621461@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240814T150450 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Vertical Integration and Plan Design in Healthcare Markets DESCRIPTION:We measure the impacts of vertical integration between insurers and hospitals. In the Chilean market\, where half of private hospital capacity is vertically integrated\, integration increases inpatient care spending by 6 percent and decreases consumer surplus and total welfare. Integrated insurers offer generous coverage at integrated hospitals\, limited access to rival hospitals\, and lower premiums. Competition for enrollees forces non-integrated insurers to provide additional coverage to high-quality non-integrated hospitals\, resulting in plan networks that limit hospital competition. Whereas vertical integration reduces double marginalization\, skewed cost-sharing structures and\, their effect on hospital competition than compensate\, leading to an overall negative welfare impact.

The imagined paired with the gut led to a collection of works that overload the senses\, and indulge in a decadence of material and ornamentation. These works conjure memories of the hospital stay\, the museum visit\, the family gathering\, and inexplicable bouts of nostalgia from a lineage that precedes us. We long\, we dream\, we ail\, we labor\, we try and fail to control\, we are overwhelmed\, and yet\, we find bliss and comfort in the middle of it all. We know what we feel and we remember it. As our BA Seniors bid farewell to Stamps\, we share this gift of our work\, tied lovingly with a bow.\n\nThe Bachelor of Arts (BA) Senior Studio (ARTDES 401) is offered for Stamps BA students in their final year of study. The BA Senior Studio Exhibition offers these students the opportunity to build on the particular characteristics of the BA degree\, and focus on creating and exhibiting a culminating\, self-directed project. Students work independently or collaboratively to define a project plan with goals\, benchmarks\, and a timeline. \n\nThe BA Senior Studio Exhibition is a new tradition for Stamps\, with the inaugural show taking place in Fall 2024. These students and instructors have worked collaboratively to produce a fully self-directed show from start to finish\, emphasizing the skills and practices associated with producing professional exhibitions\, in addition to their studio work. \n\nFaculty:\nNick Tobier\, Professor\nMichelle Cieloszczyk\, GSI\n\nBA Student Artists and Designers:\nMaria D'Ambrosio\nDanielle de Coster\nEsha Kumar\nPeyton Messner\nMaya Moufawad\nRia Garcia Rivera\nBenjamin Nicolas Seguin \nScott Wallace Smith\nSiyu Zhong UID:128544-21861152@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/128544 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Design,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241221T063058 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:CIC Student Working Group Meeting DESCRIPTION:The CIC invites students of all academic backgrounds and varying research experience to join the CIC Student Working Group.

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. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

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.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle 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. \n\nRecently\, 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).

However\, current state-of-the-art molecular property prediction models still require labeled training data generated using wet-lab experiments or Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Their utility is limited by the scarcity and heterogeneity of labeled materials datasets. Foundation models (FMs) offer a solution to this: these models use self-supervised pre-training strategies to leverage unlabeled datasets and learn representations of data that can be applied to downstream tasks. Large unlabeled datasets of billions of synthesizable molecules are readily available. Prior attempts to train FMs for molecular property prediction demonstrate promise\; however\, equivariant geometric models trained using supervised learning are still more accurate. This can be attributed to the fact that foundation models are extremely expensive to train and can be difficult to interpret\; they require huge compute budgets\, complex distributed computing techniques\, and extensive hyperparameter searches. Our work addresses these challenges on three fronts: (1) we have prototyped a scalable workflow for distributed training of molecular foundation models (2) we have trained large foundation models using this workflow which demonstrate state-of-the-art molecular property prediction capabilities across several benchmarks and (3) we have applied model interpretability strategies such as the attention visualization to shed insight on molecular structure relationships learn by the transformer.\n\nBio: Anoushka is a third-year PhD student in Prof. Venkat Viswanathan’s group at the University of Michigan.

Many governments have established national AI strategies and set ambitious goals to incorporate AI into the public infrastructure\, while lacking AI-specific procurement guidelines. AI is not traditional software\, and traditional processes are not sufficient to meet the challenges AI brings. Today’s decisions to embed AI and algorithmic systems into public system infrastructure can – and will – have serious repercussions in the future.\nThe promise of AI systems is to make the public sector more efficient\, effective\, fair\, and sustainable.\n\nHowever\, AI systems also bring new and emerging risks which can impact rights and freedoms. Therefore\, guardrails are necessary to consider the socio-technical dimensions and impact on individuals\, communities\, and society at large.\n\nIt is crucial that public sector decision-makers understand the emerging risks of AI systems\, the impact on the agency and the wider public infrastructure\, and have the means to independently validate vendor claims. This book is a result of interviews with more than 20 public procurement professionals across countries\, offering an in-depth analysis of the risks\, incidents\, governance practices\, and emerging good practices around the world\, and provides valuable procurement policy and process recommendations to address and mitigate these risks.\n\nAbout the Author: \n\nMerve Hickok is the Responsible Data and AI Advisor to MIDAS and the founder of AIethicist.org. She is a globally renowned expert on AI policy\, ethics and governance. Her contributions and perspective have featured in the Guardian\, CNN\, Forbes\, Bloomberg\, Wired\, Scientific American\, Politico\, Protocol\, Vox\, The Economist and S&P. Her research\, training and consulting work focuses on the impact of AI systems on individuals\, society\, public and private organizations – with a particular focus on fundamental rights\, democratic values\, and social justice. She provides consultancy to C-suite leaders\, and training services to public and private organizations on Responsible AI development\, due diligence and governance. She also teaches data ethics at University of Michigan\, and serves as a Board member in multiple organizations.

But what are students’ actual collaborative experiences in these programs\, and are they equitable? To answer these questions\, I draw on a qualitative case study of an elite engineering school involving in-depth interviews with engineering undergraduates and administrators\, as well as ethnographic observations of life at the school over the course of two and a half years. I argue that the culture and structure of elite STEM programs actually undermine the equitable promises of collaborative learning by creating more positive collaborative experiences for privileged students than for their less-privileged counterparts\, which positions privileged students to receive more academic help\, support\, and learning opportunities. I find that although students are influenced\, expected\, and instructed to collaborate\, the inexplicit rules and limited structuring around how and with whom to do so lead students to rely on their own backgrounds to navigate the collaborative scene. This context enables privileged students—namely those from class-advantaged high school contexts as well as male and White and Asian students (or those with intersectional privileges)—to experience the most success with collaboration. The findings suggest that STEM programs’ promotion of collaborative learning approaches falls short in engineering equitable educational advantages for students of all backgrounds.

Manuscript cultures are central to premodern societies. Different manuscript formats and material substrates connect texts\, images\, languages\, reading practices\, and ritual performances\, which in a university setting are often split across multiple departments and fields. Having this broad framework will enable the interest group to explore collaboration across disciplines and facilitate research among different manuscript traditions through an object-centered approach.\n\nIn monthly meetings during the Fall and Winter terms\, participants will present on current research interests as well as give more general overviews of particular manuscript cultures for informal discussion and exchange. They will also occasionally discuss key readings which have shaped manuscript studies in specific areas or in broader ways. In addition\, the interest group hopes to be able to explore manuscript collections in person together\, both in and around Ann Arbor as well as further afield. We hope to invite an external speaker once a year to connect the interest group with scholars beyond U-M.\n\nOpen to U-M faculty\, staff\, and graduate students only. Organized by Tina Bawden (History of Art) and Trent Walker (Asian Languages & Cultures). Please contact the group organizers for location.

First\, I will introduce a simple phenomenological framework that allows one to consider tradeoffs between noise in the actual growth process and in a system's internal measurement of its own size. I will show how this framework places a bound on the size precision of individual bacterial cells and analyze data from recent experiments to show that\, at least in some circumstances\, the measured precision is very near this bound. Then\, I will extend the framework to consider how sizes can be coordinated by chemical signals\, for example between organs like the left and right wings of a fruit fly\, and show that theory severely limits how well this can be done. Finally\, I will study the noisy dynamics of growth of multi-cellular tissues in the presence of various feedback laws\, finding that only certain forms of mechanical feedback can specify a unique organ size. Time permitting\, I will introduce a formalism to describe the elasticity of growing objects with strong connections to differential geometry and observe that growing tissues tend to show power law density correlations\, reminiscent of those also observed in models of the early universe.

Like blackface\, redface was used to racialize Indigenous peoples and nations\, and even more crucially\, exclude them from full citizenship in the United States. Arguing that redface is more than just the costumes or makeup an actor wears\, Bethany Hughes contends that it is a collaborative\, curatorial process through which artists and audiences make certain bodies legible as “Indian.” By chronicling how performances and definitions of redface rely upon legibility and delineations of race that are culturally constructed and routinely shifting\, this book offers an understanding of how redface works to naturalize a very particular version of history and\, in doing so\, mask its own performativity. Tracing the “Stage Indian” from its early nineteenth-century roots to its proliferation across theatrical entertainment forms and turn of the twenty-first century attempts to address its racist legacy\, Redface uses case studies in law and civic life to understand its offstage impact. Hughes connects extensive scholarship on the “Indian” in American culture to the theatrical history of racial impersonation and critiques of settler colonialism\, demonstrating redface’s high stakes for Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike. Revealing the persistence of redface and the challenges of fixing it\, Redface closes by offering readers an embodied rehearsal of what it would mean to read not for the “Indian” but for Indigenous theater and performance as it has always existed in the US. \n\nAbout the Author: Bethany Hughes is Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan in the Department of American Culture and a core faculty member in the Native American Studies Program. Her work can be found in Theatre Journal\, Mobilities\, Theatre Survey\, American Periodicals\, and Theatre Topics.

Two prominent examples are Leibniz’s Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) and contemporary philosophers' use of inference to the best explanation (IBE). The goal of this talk is to argue for a principle of explanatory inference that is more limited than the PSR and IBE but also more powerful. The strength of this alternative principle is its justification by way of naturalistic commitments that are widespread (though not always widely appreciated) throughout contemporary philosophy.

A wide variety of exotic phenomena may result\, posing serious experimental and/or theoretical challenges. The main theoretical hurdle is that hidden sectors may host phenomena that we cannot currently calculate or simulate\, thereby making predictions difficult or impossible.

Two distinct proofs of this positivity have emerged: one through the combinatorics of Dyck paths\, and another via scattering diagrams\, which originate from mirror symmetry and were previously not combinatorially understood. Combining these approaches\, we find a directly computable\, manifestly positive\, and elementary (but highly nontrivial) formula describing rank 2 scattering diagrams. Using this\, we prove the Laurent positivity of generalized cluster algebras of all ranks\, resolving a conjecture of Chekhov and Shapiro from 2014. This is joint work with Kyungyong Lee and Lang Mou.

As we are seeing today in the increase in coral bleaching events and ocean acidification\, the marine realm is often on the front lines of climate change. Reconstructing how past ocean temperatures changed across extinction events allows us to understand the baseline climate state upon which extinction occurred and whether temperature changes may have caused\, contributed to\, or exacerbated extinction severity. My research uses stable and clumped isotope paleothermometry applied to marine mollusk fossils (fossil seashells) to do just this - study the state of the oceans during key extinction intervals of Earth's history. In this talk\, I will describe the evolution in my thinking over my career relating to how clumped isotopes can be applied to reveal the most secrets from fossil shells and tell us not only about climate but about how the organism lived\, built its shell\, and died. I will present results relating to the Cretaceous-Paleogene global mass extinction and the Plio-Pleistocene regional molluscan mass extinction\, including both typical applications of isotope paleothermometry and newer\, more creative applications.

Over the years\, this result has been generalized in a variety of ways. Such as\, to arbitrary surfaces of non-exceptional type or relaxing isometries to quasi-isometries. In this talk\, we will discuss another generalization. We will consider isometric embeddings between Teichmuller spaces of finite type surfaces and show that besides some low-dimensional cases\, they are induced by branched coverings between the underlying surfaces. As a consequence\, we obtain a classification of local isometric embeddings between moduli spaces of curves. This is joint work with Frederik Benirschke.

When the target measure is fixed\, this is commonly referred to as the Optimal Skorokhod Embedding problem in the Mathematical Finance literature. In our case\, we will allow the target measure to vary as part of the optimization while imposing an upper bound constraint on it. \n \nWe will discuss how this problem is linked to the non-local Stefan problem\, which describes the phase transition between water and ice with anomalous diffusion. We will focus on the new results obtained due to the probabilistic approach we take\, and will discuss open questions. This is joint work with Inwon Kim\, Young-Heon Kim\, and Kyeongsik Nam.

The concert features choreography and performance by graduating seniors Gabriella Boutiette\, Rachel Dunklee\, Sarah Gorman\, Katherine Mitchell\, and Abigail Widlak.\n\nGabriella Boutiette’s group work\, *Where do you sail when the sun surrenders?*\, is about the individual journey of finding the power of you. Although everyone’s journey in finding themselves\, their purpose\, and what they think the value they bring to the world manifests differently\, it is not as rare an experience as one might think. One’s power can come from within and also from finding those people who share the same drive or passion for something. When the world goes quiet\, who are the people you choose to surround yourself with? Who are you\, and what is your power? Boutiette’s solo\, Énoument\, investigates the bittersweet feeling of finally reaching the answers you’ve sought\, while grappling with the sorrow that you are unable to enlighten your past self.\n\nRachel Dunklee’s group\, *C’EST COMME ÇA\, C’EST COMME ÇA*\, follows a group of people after a long week of working a corporate job winding down at a back-door poker game. Playing the game\, they become less and less interested in the rivalry and the outcome and band together to throw the game away. Rachel’s solo work\, Laugh Until The Sun Goes\, is based on reflecting upon a past relationship. While the rain can be intense\, it is also very meditative and symbolic of washing yourself clean of the past. The solo acts as the last look at the relationship before letting it go.\n\nSarah Gorman’s group piece\, *Weaving Hearts*\, focuses on the complex ways in which people are perceived and act differently in every interaction. The dance will explore the complexities and roles of relationships and their function in our everyday lives: lighthearted\, carefree\, and heartbreaking. Gorman’s piece will celebrate girlhood and friendship. Creating a quilt of vignettes to illuminate the colorful fabric of the human experience. Gorman’s solo Emendemus in Melius will illuminate overcoming challenges in life and how beautiful it is for one to persevere. The piece navigates the challenges of self-doubt\, capturing moments of vulnerability that ultimately transform into strength. The solo will dive into the feeling of being held back\, but wanting to\, and eventually\, being set free.\n\nKatherine Mitchell’s group work\, *Pink Rubber Handlebars*\, explores a complex nostalgic state through relationships and interconnectedness\, highlighting the thrilling freedom of youth. Incorporating film elements\, the dancers evoke the essence of girlhood and growing up\, capturing the bittersweet blend of longing and comfort that nostalgia brings. Mitchell’s solo In a Passing Moment draws from the quiet beauty of empathy and the impact of shared human experience. Rooted in personal memories and fleeting encounters\, it reflects a profound sense of interconnectedness\, embracing the unknowns we each carry. \n\n\nAbby Widlak’s group work\, *Was*\, explores the idea of love and loss\, how grief can impact not only a person's day-to-day life\, but worldview as well. With an original score by Ryan Ardelt the dancers take a journey between the five stages of grief on the non-linear road to acceptance. Widlak’s solo\, Dear Abigail\, addresses what it is like to never be yourself with any specific person. She adventures through the idea of what it means to wear different masks with different people. This work is coupled with an original score by Jason Zhang\, a senior music composition and computer science major at U-M.

This experimental musical explores self-reflection\, ancestral veneration\, and transformation. “Negro\, Spiritual\,” also the name of her forthcoming debut album\, recognizes the historical significance\, power\, and ownership of Black American musical contributions. The Negro Spiritual is considered to be the first “American” musical form and has since shaped the composition of contemporary music with continued influence worldwide. Claiming that lineage as an inheritance and birthright\, Supercoolwicked uses Negro spirituals as a launchpad for her personal journey to emotional safety and freedom. Supercoolwicked most recently performed “Negro\, Spiritual” at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History for a special off-grid performance in collaboration with artist/climate activist Ash Arder. “Negro\, Spiritual” is written and created by Morgan Cecille Hutson\, co-written and directed by Salakāstar\, and co-produced by Magic Wheel Creative\, a creative production agency founded by Tunde Olaniran.\n \nFree and open to the public\, no registration required.\n UID:129210-21862333@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129210 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241029T170144 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241206T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Sorcerer DESCRIPTION:The Sorcerer is a two-act comic opera\, with a libretto by W.

The imagined paired with the gut led to a collection of works that overload the senses\, and indulge in a decadence of material and ornamentation. These works conjure memories of the hospital stay\, the museum visit\, the family gathering\, and inexplicable bouts of nostalgia from a lineage that precedes us. We long\, we dream\, we ail\, we labor\, we try and fail to control\, we are overwhelmed\, and yet\, we find bliss and comfort in the middle of it all. We know what we feel and we remember it.

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. \nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra with Curatorial Assistant Zoi Crampton.\nStamps Gallery is grateful to Michigan Humanities and U-M Arts Initiative for generously supporting the exhibition and programs.

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.\n \nPieces 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.  \n \nIn 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. \n \nBy 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. \n \n“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.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead 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.\n  UID:84303-21621462@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241207T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241207T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. 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.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle 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. \n\nRecently\, 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).

A young man\, Alexis\, is obsessed with the idea of love levelling all ranks and social distinctions. To promote his beliefs\, he invites the proprietor of J. W. Wells & Co.\, Family Sorcerers\, to brew a love potion. This causes everyone in the village to fall in love with the first person they see and results in the pairing of comically mismatched couples. To see how it all works out\, come see this University of Michigan Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s production.

The concert features choreography and performance by graduating seniors Gabriella Boutiette\, Rachel Dunklee\, Sarah Gorman\, Katherine Mitchell\, and Abigail Widlak.\n\nGabriella Boutiette’s group work\, *Where do you sail when the sun surrenders?*\, is about the individual journey of finding the power of you. Although everyone’s journey in finding themselves\, their purpose\, and what they think the value they bring to the world manifests differently\, it is not as rare an experience as one might think. One’s power can come from within and also from finding those people who share the same drive or passion for something. When the world goes quiet\, who are the people you choose to surround yourself with? Who are you\, and what is your power? Boutiette’s solo\, Énoument\, investigates the bittersweet feeling of finally reaching the answers you’ve sought\, while grappling with the sorrow that you are unable to enlighten your past self.\n\nRachel Dunklee’s group\, *C’EST COMME ÇA\, C’EST COMME ÇA*\, follows a group of people after a long week of working a corporate job winding down at a back-door poker game. Playing the game\, they become less and less interested in the rivalry and the outcome and band together to throw the game away. Rachel’s solo work\, Laugh Until The Sun Goes\, is based on reflecting upon a past relationship. While the rain can be intense\, it is also very meditative and symbolic of washing yourself clean of the past. The solo acts as the last look at the relationship before letting it go.\n\nSarah Gorman’s group piece\, *Weaving Hearts*\, focuses on the complex ways in which people are perceived and act differently in every interaction. The dance will explore the complexities and roles of relationships and their function in our everyday lives: lighthearted\, carefree\, and heartbreaking. Gorman’s piece will celebrate girlhood and friendship. Creating a quilt of vignettes to illuminate the colorful fabric of the human experience. Gorman’s solo Emendemus in Melius will illuminate overcoming challenges in life and how beautiful it is for one to persevere. The piece navigates the challenges of self-doubt\, capturing moments of vulnerability that ultimately transform into strength. The solo will dive into the feeling of being held back\, but wanting to\, and eventually\, being set free.\n\nKatherine Mitchell’s group work\, *Pink Rubber Handlebars*\, explores a complex nostalgic state through relationships and interconnectedness\, highlighting the thrilling freedom of youth. Incorporating film elements\, the dancers evoke the essence of girlhood and growing up\, capturing the bittersweet blend of longing and comfort that nostalgia brings. Mitchell’s solo In a Passing Moment draws from the quiet beauty of empathy and the impact of shared human experience. Rooted in personal memories and fleeting encounters\, it reflects a profound sense of interconnectedness\, embracing the unknowns we each carry. \n\n\nAbby Widlak’s group work\, *Was*\, explores the idea of love and loss\, how grief can impact not only a person's day-to-day life\, but worldview as well. With an original score by Ryan Ardelt the dancers take a journey between the five stages of grief on the non-linear road to acceptance. Widlak’s solo\, Dear Abigail\, addresses what it is like to never be yourself with any specific person. She adventures through the idea of what it means to wear different masks with different people. This work is coupled with an original score by Jason Zhang\, a senior music composition and computer science major at U-M.

It was Christmastime and apparently they thought we were up to the task. We worked up a few carols and traditional tunes and Karin even read a poem by Thomas Hardy called\, The Oxen.\n\nIt actually felt really good and conjured up an unusual mix of feelings from childhood: innocence\, loss\, wonder\, joy\, sadness. I think we were surprised. \n\nPeople must have tuned into the radio broadcast\, because we began receiving inquiries as to whether we had recorded any of our Christmas songs. I don’t think we had considered it at the time\, but any young\, struggling songwriter is open to the suggestions of the marketplace\, and people were persistent.\n\nIn December of 1996 – can it really be over 25 years ago? – we recorded and released our first song cycle of some of the Christmas carols that still haunted us. We included a few original tunes and called our wintry mix The Darkest Night Of The Year. We played a special “darkest night” release concert on winter solstice in an old 1300-seat theater in Cincinnati. Every last seat was full. Folks began snatching up copies and seemed to agree that they hadn’t heard anything quite like it.\n\nWe began playing concerts around the Midwest every December and found that the rooms were usually packed full of people who had bundled in out of the cold with prized compatriots. Hats and scarves abounded. If you stepped outside during intermission\, you could make ghosts with your breath in the crisp night air. And it was dark – oh so dark: a time of year with its own music.\n\nA decade later\, in 2006\, we released our first full collection of original Christmas/holiday songs called Snow Angels. What is it about Christmas music and the undeniable gravitational pull it exerts on some songwriters? So many Christmas songs have already been written. I think we are genuinely curious about the ones that haven’t yet been written.\n\nWe continued to tour every December and these special year-winding-down concerts began to feel like an annual tradition – gatherings of extended musical family\, without whom\, we’d be homeless.\n\nBy the time we released our third holiday album of original songs\, Blood Oranges In The Snow\, in December of 2014\, Karin suggested we had discovered a new genre of music: Reality Christmas.\n\nIt’s true: if you’ve buried a loved one\, or lost a job\, or battled a chronic illness\, that stuff doesn’t go away during the holidays. It can be a complicated season for many of us.\n\nAnd then there’s family.\n\nWhen Karin and I make the annual holiday pilgrimage home to visit family and pull into the driveway and turn off the car\, one of us inevitably looks over at the other and says\, “Tie a rope around my waist\, I’m goin’ in.”\n\nIn 2024\, more than 25 years after releasing our first holiday CD\, we are still at it. This year\, we will be leaning into some harmonies and making an intimate but hopefully holy ruckus. It won’t be all Christmas music: we’ll certainly mix in tunes from many of our records along the way. But\nhopefully it’s still true: hopefully you haven’t heard anything quite like it.\n\nMaybe a midnight snow will fall and turn each streetlight into its own private snow globe. Maybe\, regardless of whatever reality Christmas brings\, we’ll hear a faint echo of a song once rumored to have been sung by angels\, a song of peace on earth\, goodwill toward all… We’ve never heard anything quite like it.\n\nWe hope you’ll join us\,\n\nLinford Detweiler\nWith Karin close by\nNowhere Else\nClinton County\, Ohio UID:124970-21854168@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124970 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241125T181642 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241207T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241207T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:In-Ae Ha\, piano DESCRIPTION:Graduate student In-Ae Ha performs a recital.

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.\n \nThis 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.\n \nSo 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.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21817984@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241208T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241208T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn 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.\n \nPieces 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.  \n \nIn 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. \n \nBy 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. \n \n“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.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead 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.\n  UID:84303-21621463@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241208T120003 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241208T111100 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241208T121100 SUMMARY:Other:H2O Sunday Service DESCRIPTION:Come join us for praise and worship with students and alumni from UoM at the Rackham Building (4th floor).

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. 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.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together.

Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

Specifically\, the calendar portions of books of hours have often been seen as auxiliary to the books' central purpose: to structure time and prayer within a 24-hour cycle. However\, by examining the patterns of wear on these three books and their place in the larger collections of their owners\, I hope to demonstrate that these calendars also served a sacral purpose\, as focal points for devotion as well as temporal structures.\n\nYueling Li (History of Art): \"Microcosm through Tea: Liquescent and Mimetic Materiality of Song Black Glazed Tea Bowls\":\n\nKnown as Jian zhan or Tenmoku\, black glaze tea bowls are cherished for their surface resemblance of hare’s fur\, mottled feather and oil drops. Praised for their ideal physical property as container for tea\, black glazed bowls make their appearance into poems and classics by Su Shi\, Cai Xiang\, and Emperor Huizong. Focusing on the surface aesthetics of black glazed tea containers in Song Dynasty\, the phenomenological approaches of this essay is framed by the material force of water and the transmateriality of liquescence. Primarily\, it examines the physical firing transformation inside the kiln\, and the transformative power of the finished surface to evoke in its beholder a mimesis of animate creatures and weather phenomenon in nature. This discussion of the container is followed by a discussion of the liquid being contained within—tea—as a popular commodity that traveled along land\, river and sea routes and as an index of social status and literati culture. Examining textual and visual depiction of tea production and appreciation\, this essay argues that tea culture in Song dynasty involved innovation on many levels\, from technological apparatus such as hydraulic mills to a heightened multisensory perception of not only seeing but hearing water. This essay concludes with tea bowls as an itinerant object that went with the flow from rivers to the sea\, and traveled from Fujian to Zhejiang to Japan. By doing so\, this essay attempts an ecocritical case study of East Asian art history.\n\nDoyun Kim (History of Art): \"Ecoaesthetics of the Sacred Landscape: The Virgin of Valvanera in colonial Mexico\":\n\nAbstract: In this essay\, I argue that the Virgin of Valvanera at the Denver Art Museum offers a reimagined vision of the Marian apparition inspired by the ecological conditions of colonial Mexico. The Virgin of Valvanera\, attributed to Juan Correa (1646–1716)\, features the miraculous discovery of the Marian statue in La Rioja\, Spain. The painting is noteworthy for its distinctive ecoaesthetics. Allocating more than half of the picture plane to a landscape\, it integrates the Marian image with sylvan surroundings and the architectural complex into an organic whole. To explain this perception of interconnectivity\, I examine the visual elements of the painting with various other factors\, including arboreal subjectivity\, the cave’s association with water and meteorological phenomena\, and the pluvial landscapes of Mesoamerica. I conclude that the Virgin of Valvanera presents the potential of forging a different relationship with nature in eighteenth-century colonial Mexico.

His research interests encompass industrial data science\, quality and reliability engineering\, system informatics\, and the design and analysis of computer experiments. His current research focuses on developing digital twin calibration methodologies for several applications such as building energy and wind power systems. He has also been advancing industrial data science methodologies to enhance automation and improve process control in smart manufacturing. He has received multiple best paper recognitions\, including the Richard C. Wilson Best Paper Prize from the University of Michigan\, the IISE QCRE Best Student Paper Award\, the IISE DAIS Best Paper Award Finalist\, and the INFORMS QSR Best Paper Award Finalist. Throughout his academic journey\, he has been awarded prestigious fellowships\, including the Edward P. Fitts\, Seth Bonder\, and IES Graduate Fellowships.\n\nAbstract: A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical system that is useful for monitoring\, diagnostics\, and prognostics in a virtual world. Due to advances in sensing technology\, a massive amount of observational data is collected from various aspects of the system. Calibrating digital twins with the observational data is crucial to enabling them to accurately replicate the physical system. One way to calibrate digital twins is through parameter calibration. This study develops quantitative calibration methods that harness the full potential of big data\, addressing research challenges posed by its scale and complexity. These include: (a) developing an approach that integrates nonlinear optimization with statistical theory to guide the sequential design of computer experiments\, (b) devising a stochastic dimension reduction method for high-dimensional simulation parameters with explainability\, and (c) extending the framework to accommodate a wide range of problems\, including functional calibration. The approaches are validated through real-world case studies.

Here\, we examine (i) the historical and psychological meaning of Confederate symbols\, (ii) consequences of displaying Confederate symbols in public spaces\, and (iii) downstream consequences of removing them from public spaces. More generally\, this talk will be an invitation to discuss whether and\, if so\, how social scientists can contribute to socially\, culturally\, politically fraught issues.\n\nSophie Trawalter is the Batten Family Bicentennial Teacher-Scholar Leadership Professor of Public Policy at the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia. She studies psychological processes that contribute to social disparities.\n\nThe 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.\n\nSeries Theme: The Social Psychology of Systemic Racism\nWhat 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.\n\nGroup Dynamics Seminar Series\nThe 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 UID:123170-21850442@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/123170 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:American Culture,Diversity Equity And Inclusion,History,Politics,Psychology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241126T090413 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241209T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241209T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Colloquium Seminar: Singularity formation in fluids DESCRIPTION:Whether the 3D incompressible Euler equations can develop a finite-time singularity from smooth initial data is a long-standing open problem in mathematical fluid mechanics. In this talk\, I will begin by providing an overview of this problem and then introduce a framework for stable\, nearly self-similar blowup\, developed in joint work with Tom Hou (Caltech). Using this framework\, we establish singularity formation in the incompressible Euler equations with smooth data and boundary. Additionally\, I will briefly present recent results on vorticity blowup in compressible Euler equations and beyond\, using the self-similar blowup method.

Last year\, sl_4 webs were finally defined from hourglass plabic graphs. However\, their construction involves approximately 100 growth rules. In this talk\, I am going to introduce a conjecture on a novel way to construct such webs by \"stacking\" sl_3 webs.

Having established the Panzi Hospital in 1999 as a clinic for gynecological and obstetric care Dr. Mukwege realized that medical services alone could not end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict. Dr. Mukwege and his staff at Panzi hospital in Bukavu have treated more than 80\,000 women and girls\, provided mental health support and helped break the stigma around survivors of rape.\n\nIn 2010 he received the Wallenberg Medal from the University of Michigan in recognition of his personal courage and work to confront and address conflict-related sexual violence.\n\nIn his efforts to bring the topic to the attention of the UN and other international organizations\, to increase protection for women\, and to advocate that those responsible for sexual violence be brought to justice\, he has become a leading activist for human rights and gender equality.\n\nThe Panzi Foundation is also launching a new campaign focused on critical minerals and the role of responsible business in the peace process in DRC.\n\n \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the African Studies Center.

The Liszt Piano Concerto No. 2 originally featured the Hungarian composer’s own pianistic prowess. On the other hand\, with his Concerto for Orchestra\, Bartók showcased the musicians and sections of the orchestra itself (originally the Boston Symphony). This thrilling and colorful music springs from Hungarian folk dances and songs to have become one of the most popular and often-performed showpieces ever written for orchestra. \n\nIn the evening’s opening piece\, Enescu’s Prelude in Unison\, the orchestra’s string sections (without the double basses) – as if speaking with one voice in passionate\, folksy music – seem to tell a story of personal struggle\, aspiration\, triumph\, and serenity.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. 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.

Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

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.\n \nThis 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.\n \nSo 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.

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.\n \nPieces 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.  \n \nIn 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. \n \nBy 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. \n \n“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.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead 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.\n  UID:84303-21621464@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241204T130141 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241210T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241210T150000 SUMMARY:Well-being:De-Stress Fest x Finals Breakfast DESCRIPTION:Taking time for yourself is essential—and we’re here to make it easy!

Unlike episodic settings\, where the environment is periodically reset\, continuous interaction without resets introduces unique challenges. For example\, it necessitates assumptions on the underlying MDP to avoid pathological scenarios where the agent becomes trapped in an unfavorable state with no path to recovery. Additionally\, the average reward optimality criterion complicates algorithm design\, as the corresponding Bellman operator is not a contraction\, preventing the straightforward application of optimistic value iteration algorithms.\n\nWe address reinforcement learning in infinite-horizon average-reward settings\, focusing on MDPs where both the reward function and the transition probability kernel are linear in a feature representation of state-action pairs. Existing approaches in this setting either face computational inefficiencies or rely on strong assumptions\, such as ergodicity\, to achieve order-optimal regret bounds. In this talk\, we introduce a computationally efficient algorithm that attains an order-optimal regret bound under a mild assumption on the underlying MDP. The algorithm learns a discounted-reward MDP as a surrogate for the average-reward problem. Leveraging the contraction property of the associated Bellman operator for the surrogate problem\, we design an optimistic value iteration algorithm and employ value function clipping technique for improving statistical efficiency. We show that appropriately tuning the discounting factor for the surrogate problem achieves an order-optimal regret for the original average-reward problem.\n\nhttps://kihyukh.github.io/ UID:124601-21853253@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124601 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 411 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241202T110721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241210T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241210T180000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:2025 CCSFP Summer Fellowship Information Session DESCRIPTION:(UROP) at the University of Michigan (UM)\, Ann Arbor offers a 10 week paid State-Wide Summer Research Fellowship for currently enrolled Michigan community college students who are interested in transferring to U-M\, Ann Arbor\, or any other institution in the future.

Catapulted to international attention in 1997 as the Gold Medalist of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition – the only American to achieve this distinction since 1981 – Mr. Nakamatsu subsequently developed a multi-faceted career that encompasses recording\, education\, arts administration and public speaking in addition to his vast concert schedule.\n\nMr. Nakamatsu has been guest soloist with over 150 orchestras worldwide\, including those of Baltimore\, Berlin\, Boston\, Cincinnati\, Dallas\, Detroit\, Florence\, Los Angeles\, Milan\, San Francisco\, Seattle\, Tokyo and Vancouver. He has worked with such esteemed conductors as Marin Alsop\, Sergiu Comissiona\, James Conlon\, Philippe Entremont\, Hans Graf\, Marek Janowski\, Raymond Leppard\, Gerard Schwarz\, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski\, Michael Tilson Thomas and Osmo Vänskä. \n\nAs a recitalist\, Mr. Nakamatsu has appeared in New York City’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center\, Washington DC’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts\, the Musée d’Orsay and the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris and in major centers such as Boston\, Chicago\, Houston\, London\, Milan\, Munich\, Prague\, Singapore\, Tokyo\, Warsaw and Zurich. In Beijing he has been heard at the Theater of the Forbidden City\, the Great Hall of the People\, China Conservatory\, and the National Centre for the Performing Arts. His numerous summer engagements included appearances at the Aspen\, Tanglewood\, Ravinia\, Caramoor\, Vail\, Wolftrap\, Colorado\, Brevard\, Britt\, Colorado College\, Evian\, Interlochen\, Klavierfestival Ruhr\, Santa Fe and Sun Valley festivals. In 2025 he will participate in an extended residency at the Bowdoin Festival in Maine and return to the Chautauqua Institution in New York where he has served as Artist in Residence from 2018 to 2023. This season Mr. Nakamatsu will also serve on the juries of the Seventeenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and the United States National Chopin Piano Competition.\n\nPost-Pandemic\, Mr. Nakamatsu returned to live performances in 2021 throughout the United States and in Europe. Between 2020 and the spring of 2021\, he was engaged in a myriad of online events including recording\, masterclasses and virtual interviews and lectures for organizations such as the Chautauqua Institution Piano Festival\, Colorado College Summer Music Festival\, Boston University’s Tanglewood Institute\, the Van Cliburn Foundation and the Chopin Foundation of the United States.

Following its Boston debut in 2004\, the Duo released its first CD for harmonia mundi usa (Brahms Sonatas for Clarinet and Piano) which received the highest praise from *The New York Times* Classical Music Editor James Oestreich\, who named it among the “Best of the Year” for 2008. A frequent chamber musician\, Mr. Nakamatsu has collaborated repeatedly with ensembles such as the Emerson\, Escher\, Jupiter\, Miró\, Modigliani\, Prazak\, St. Lawrence\, Tokyo and Ying string quartets\, the Imani Winds and the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet with whom he made multiple tours beginning in 2000.\n\nMr. Nakamatsu’s 13 CDs recorded for harmonia mundi usa have garnered extraordinary critical praise. An all-Gershwin recording with Jeff Tyzik and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra featuring Gershwin’s *Rhapsody in Blue* and *Concerto in F* remained in the top echelons of Billboard’s classical charts for over six months. Other acclaimed discs include the recording premiere of Lukas Foss’ first Piano Concerto with Carl St. Clair and the Pacific Symphony\, the Brahms Piano Quintet with the Tokyo String Quartet in the quartet’s final recording as an ensemble\, and a solo recording including Robert Schumann’s Second Piano Sonata whose YouTube posting has garnered over 800K hits. \n\nMr. Nakamatsu has been profiled extensively in print\, radio\, television and online. He has appeared on CBS *Sunday Morning*\, in *Readers Digest* magazine and recently on *Live from Here!* with Chris Thile. In 1999\, Mr. Nakamatsu performed at the White House at the special invitation of President and Mrs. Clinton. He has also performed for the United States Mayor’s Convention in San Francisco and in 2001 was the featured guest artist during the opening and dedication of the Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism During World War II in Washington DC. \n\nA former high school teacher of German with no formal conservatory training\, Mr. Nakamatsu studied privately with Marina Derryberry for over 20 years beginning at the age of six\; worked with Karl Ulrich Schnabel since the age of 9\; and trained for 10 years in composition\, theory and orchestration with Dr. Leonard Stein of the University of Southern California’s Schoenberg Institute.

The value-at-risk (VaR)\nand expected shortfall (ES) remain the most widely used risk measures\nin finance. Given a portfolio of future random loss X and a confidence\nlevel c in (0\,1)\, the VaR represents the quantile of X at level c (P(X\nVaR) = 1-c) and the ES the average loss given that X exceeds the\nVaR\, i.e. the superquantile of X at level c (ES = E[X|X > VaR]).\n\nComputing efficiently the VaR and ES of a given portfolio constitutes\nan active field of research. Rockafeller and Uryasev (2000) show that\,\nunder suitable assumptions\, the VaR and ES can be jointly retrieved as\nsolutions to a stochastic convex program\, thus allowing to resort to\nstochastic approximation methods. In a realistic scenario\, the loss of\nthe portfolio is expressed in a nested way\, i.e. X = E[f(Y\, Z)|Y]\,\nwhere Y describes the risk factors influencing the portfolio up to\nsome time horizon T > 0\, Z the risk factors influencing it beyond T\,\nand f(Y\, Z) the subsequent cash flows. The conditioning is done with\nrespect to the information available at time T. When X cannot be\nsimulated exactly\, a natural solution consists in swapping X with a\nnested Monte Carlo estimate thereof within the stochastic\napproximation scheme for the VaR and ES. This solution nevertheless\nincreases the estimation complexity.\n\nWe endeavor to accelerate the stochastic approximation of the VaR and\nES in the nested loss case. The goalpost is to attain a quadratic\ncomplexity as is achieved by unbiased stochastic approximation in the\ncase where X can be simulated exactly.\nWe first present a nested stochastic approximation scheme\, which\nsimulates X with a bias\, and attains a complexity in O(n^3) to achieve\nan error in O(1/n). We then leverage the multilevel paradigm to bring\nthe estimation cost down to O(n^2.5) for the VaR and to O(n^2 ln(n)^2)\nfor the ES. Since these complexities can only be reached under\nadditional inaccessible conditions\, we develop an ergodic\nPolyak-Ruppert version of the multilevel algorithm and demonstrate its\nincreased numerical stability through appropriate central limit\ntheorems. Eventually\, to bridge the performance gap between the\nmultilevel and unbiased VaR schemes (in O(n^2.5) and O(n^2))\, we\nadaptively refine the Monte Carlo innovations digested by the\nmultilevel algorithm\, resulting in a complexity of O(n^2 ln(n)^2.5).\nAll the above results are exemplified through suitable numerical\nstudies that include realistic financial scenarios.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. 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.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852766@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241022T124308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241211T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241211T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Touch DESCRIPTION:Ericka Lopez is a visual artist born in Mexico and living in Los Angeles. Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

The imagined paired with the gut led to a collection of works that overload the senses\, and indulge in a decadence of material and ornamentation. These works conjure memories of the hospital stay\, the museum visit\, the family gathering\, and inexplicable bouts of nostalgia from a lineage that precedes us. We long\, we dream\, we ail\, we labor\, we try and fail to control\, we are overwhelmed\, and yet\, we find bliss and comfort in the middle of it all. We know what we feel and we remember it. As our BA Seniors bid farewell to Stamps\, we share this gift of our work\, tied lovingly with a bow.\n\nThe Bachelor of Arts (BA) Senior Studio (ARTDES 401) is offered for Stamps BA students in their final year of study. The BA Senior Studio Exhibition offers these students the opportunity to build on the particular characteristics of the BA degree\, and focus on creating and exhibiting a culminating\, self-directed project. Students work independently or collaboratively to define a project plan with goals\, benchmarks\, and a timeline. \n\nThe BA Senior Studio Exhibition is a new tradition for Stamps\, with the inaugural show taking place in Fall 2024. These students and instructors have worked collaboratively to produce a fully self-directed show from start to finish\, emphasizing the skills and practices associated with producing professional exhibitions\, in addition to their studio work. \n\nFaculty:\nNick Tobier\, Professor\nMichelle Cieloszczyk\, GSI\n\nBA Student Artists and Designers:\nMaria D'Ambrosio\nDanielle de Coster\nEsha Kumar\nPeyton Messner\nMaya Moufawad\nRia Garcia Rivera\nBenjamin Nicolas Seguin \nScott Wallace Smith\nSiyu Zhong UID:128544-21861154@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/128544 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Design,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241211T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241211T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn 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.\n \nPieces 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.  \n \nIn 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. \n \nBy 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. \n \n“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.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead 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.\n  UID:84303-21621465@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241211T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241211T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. 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.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle 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. \n\nRecently\, 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).

Registration is open through December 1. \n\n2024 Michigan Pioneer Fellows Symposium:\n1:00–6:00 p.m.\, December 11\, 2024\nBSRB Kahn Auditorium\n\nSchedule:\n1:00 Welcome and introductions\n1:05 Talks by Pioneer Fellows\n3:30 Keynote address: \"Capturing One-Carbon Chemistry\, One-Structural Snapshot at a Time\,\" Catherine Drennan\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Biology and Chemistry\, MIT\; Investigator and Professor\, Howard Hughes Medical Institute \n4:30 Poster session\n5:30 Concluding remarks and reception\n\nAbstract - Capturing One-Carbon Chemistry\, One-Structural Snapshot at a Time: Ni-Fe-S-cluster containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) and acetyl-CoA synthase (ACS) play major roles in the global carbon cycle through the consumption of CO and CO2 gases\, the production of acetate\, and the breakdown of acetate for methane generation. In this presentation\, I will describe my lab's journey to understand the structural basis of one-carbon chemistry at Ni-Fe-S clusters. Our work shows that to perform the biological equivalent of the water-gas shift reaction (CO + H2O ⇔ CO2 + H2) and of the Monsanto process (\"syn gas\" to acetic acid)\, CODH/ACS enzymes use internal gas channels and employ dramatic conformational rearrangements. Our goal is to capture structural snapshots of CODH/ACS enzymes in order to visualize how nature produces and consumes greenhouse gases CO2 and methane using organometallic chemistry.\n\nAbout the Speaker:\nCathy L. Drennan is the John and Dorothy Wilson Professor of Biochemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, and a Professor and Investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. During her AB in chemistry from Vassar College\, she worked with Professor Miriam Rossi and discovered her passion for X-ray crystallography and for vitamin B12. But she did not head straight to graduate school\, instead teaching high school in West Branch\, Iowa\, for three years. By day\, she taught chemistry\, biology\, and physics and by night\, she staged high school plays\, such as *The Importance of Being Earnest*. Realizing that teaching science and scientific research go hand in hand\, Cathy enrolled in a PhD program at the University of Michigan to more fully experience the world of research. Carrying out her graduate studies in biological chemistry with the late Professor Martha L. Ludwig\, Cathy used X-ray crystallography to show for the first time how vitamin B12 binds to a protein.\n\nFollowing postdoctoral studies with Professor Douglas C. Rees at Caltech\, Cathy joined the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her laboratory seeks to understand how nature harnesses and re-directs the reactivity of enzyme metallocenters to perform challenging reactions. By combining X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy with other biophysical methods\, the Drennan laboratory’s goal is to “visualize” molecular processes by obtaining snapshots of enzymes in action. Some of the proteins studied are newly characterized\, and others have eluded structural characterization due to issues of oxygen sensitivity\, conformational flexibility\, protein heterogeneity\, or structural complexity. The Drennan laboratory has specialized in tackling and solving these more challenging problems in structural biology. In total\, Drennan is an author on ~190 publications\, over 200 Protein Data Bank submissions\, and has given over 200 invited talks. Her research has been featured in the online seminar series https://www.ibiology.org/biochemistry/metalloproteins-in-action/.\n\nFor twenty of her twenty-five years at MIT\, Drennan has taught the large introductory science classes\, known as the science General Institute Requirements or GIRs. For fourteen years\, she taught 350-person-plus introductory chemistry class 5.111\, which is available online on the MIT OCW site (https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/chemistry/5-111sc-principles-of-chemical-science-fall-2014/) and for the past six years\, she taught the 250-500-person introductory biology class 7.012. In 2006\, Drennan was selected as a “Million Dollar Professor” by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute\, allowing her to run an education research group (separate from her biochemistry research group) for eight years. As part of her education program\, she co-authored a teacher training guide\,* What Every Teacher and Mentor Should Know: A Guide to Identifying and Reducing Stereotype Threat to Maximize Student Performance* and ran workshops based on this material all over the country and produced an online version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzTRzMf8kKE. She also created classroom material that showcases the importance of chemical principles to solving real world problems and diversity among chemists http://chemvideos.mit.edu. Drennan has also spoken in national forums about being dyslexic\, including on CBS Sunday Morning https://www.cbsnews.com/news /cracking-the-code-of-dyslexia/ and PBS’s RoadTrip Nation https://roadtripnation.com/leader/catherine-drennan. Her goal as an educator is to engender an appreciation for the disciplines of chemistry and biology and to convey that scientists are a diverse group of people. In her own research group\, Drennan has trained a total of eighty-eight undergraduate students\, forty graduate students\, and twenty-two postdocs.\n\nCathy has been recognized with both teaching and research awards\, including MIT’s Baker Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching\, MIT’s Edgerton Faculty Achievement Award\, a Sloan Fellowship\, an ASBMB-Schering-Plough Research Institute Scientific Achievement Award\, a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers\, a Searle Scholar Award\, the Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Award from the Protein Society and the Rose Award from the ASBMB. She is an AAAS Fellow\, an ASBMB Fellow\, an ACA Fellow\, a MacVicar Faculty Fellow\, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. Cathy resides with her husband\, Boston University Professor Sean J. Elliott\, daughter Sammy\, labradoodle Casey\, and cat Lacie in Newton\, Massachusetts.

DESCRIPTION:Conditional McKean-Vlasov equations (CMVE) are nonlinear stochastic processes with applications to mean-field games with common noise\, stochastic Lagrangian models\, and entropic optimal transport. In this talk\, I will discuss my recent work with Kavita Ramanan on a CMVE known as the Markov local-field equation (MLFE) that arises in the study of interacting particle systems on sparse networks. We identify a Lyapunov function for the MLFE that we call the sparse free energy and prove a corresponding H-theorem. We then show that the stationary distributions of the MLFE are exactly the marginals of extremal continuous Gibbs measures on regular trees and obtain rates of convergence.

Lift+Cruise configurations combine the efficiency of wing lift flight or \"cruise\" mode with a maneuverable vertical or “lift” mode for vertiport departure and approach. small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) can also benefit from the maneuverability and endurance of Lift+Cruise designs for missions including surveillance and package delivery. Numerous AAM designs have been proposed\, but industry aeropropulsion models are proprietary. This dissertation provides an open experimentally validated Lift+Cruise sUAS model and uses this model in defining energy efficient trajectories applicable to delivery\, surveillance\, and inspection applications. \n\nThe first contribution of this dissertation is the QuadPlane sUAS\, an easily manufactured and simple Lift+Cruise configuration combining quadrotor and fixed-wing aircraft structural elements and control effectors. QuadPlane wind tunnel experiments were conducted over a wide range of angles of attack and airspeeds in each of three QuadPlane flight modes. QuadPlane propulsion modules were characterized in lab and wind tunnel tests. Full-envelope dynamic models are presented based on surface fits for the three QuadPlane flight modes. \n\nThe second contribution is the development of multi-mode accelerated energy optimal traversal profiles between hover waypoint pairs with no wind and steady wind. A multi-variable optimization problem is formally defined and solved. Energy consumption over accelerated and cruise flight in each flight mode is modeled and analyzed to prove energy optimality of the proposed direct multi-mode traversal in zero wind. In steady wind\, this thesis defines constraints under which direct traversal is possible given wind magnitude and direction and an assumption that the Lift+Cruise aircraft points into the wind at each hover waypoint to maximize stability. The QuadPlane model is used to demonstrate optimal traversal properties across trajectory segments of varied length and acceleration limits with and without ambient wind.\n\nThe third contribution is definition and evaluation of an energy aware path planner and multi-mode guidance capability for Lift+Cruise sUAS with emphasis on sUAS coverage missions. A meta-level path planning function for energy aware coverage assigns the most energy efficient flight mode for each trajectory segment subject to segment length and performance constraints. QuadPlane nonlinear simulation and control modules are developed based on the experimentally validated model. Waypoint-based flight simulations are presented with zero and steady wind. Conventional aircraft and multicopter controllers are defined for Plane (cruise) and Quad (hover) flight modes\, while a novel combination of the two supports transition and sustained Hybrid mode flight offering flexibility in pitch angle within envelope constraints. A modified carrot guidance methodology with varying time horizon provides flexibility in prioritizing tracking accuracy or control robustness. Flight plan waypoints can be flexibly chosen from Hover\, Fly-Over\, Fly-By and Fly-Coverage options. QuadPlane flight simulations confirm accurate trajectory tracking and smooth transitions between flight modes.\n\nThis dissertation describes a novel Lift+Cruise sUAS design and experimental characterization of its performance and dynamics. Innovations include formal definition of Lift+Cruise traversals between hover waypoints and definition of Lift+Cruise trajectories for coverage missions. The QuadPlane is one of the first open Lift+Cruise sUAS models. Energy optimal trajectory solutions between hover waypoints provide a framework for future work to consider wind gusts\, altitude change\, and further refinement with optimal control.\n\nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/92566489824\, Passcode: 783620 UID:129426-21862712@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129426 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241030T143421 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241212T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241212T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Hoshea Love: Photographs DESCRIPTION:Hoshea Love is 85 years old.

Since 2004\, Glazer has been lead faculty and head of ceramics at Henry Ford College\, and former faculty of Concord College (WV) and North Dakota State University. His artwork has been exhibited throughout the country.\n\nThroughout his adult life the art of Steve Glazer has been done as a response to his environment. 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.

She collects and arranges images\, builds and subtracts\, and uses processes that suit the concepts and gives the pieces a reason for existing as textiles. Simultaneously she strives to make the medium influence the outcome in such a way that cloth and image meld together. Moran uses silkscreen\, shibori\, and stitching to embed images from her daily walks into the fabric. it's important that the work builds slowly\, involving meditative processes that connect her to the cloth and the source of the design.\n\nGallery hours: Monday-Friday\, 9 am to 5pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu UID:124224-21852767@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/124224 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,Art,Culture,Detroit,Exhibition,Free,Graduate Students,North Campus,Visual Arts LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Rotunda Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241022T124308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241212T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241212T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Touch DESCRIPTION:Ericka Lopez is a visual artist born in Mexico and living in Los Angeles. Lopez lost her sight at an early age and is mostly non-verbal. This exhibition of tactile assemblage works and gestural coiled pots were created by the artist through touch and texture\, colored by memory. The works are sensory\, physical\, immediate\, reaffirming\, and deeply expressive. Viewers to this exhibition are invited to touch the work. \n\nDuring her residency\, the artist and her support team\, which includes her mother and translator\, will engage directly with students in the exhibition space\, offering a transformative experience based on human expression and connection through art. Because Ericka feels most comfortable when she is working\, she plans to make artwork with students as part of the class engagements with the exhibition.\n\nAbout Ericka Lopez\nBorn 1987 in Mexico\, Ericka Lopez has been making art at Tierra del Sol Studios since 2019. Working across ceramic\, fiber\, and mixed media constructions\, Lopez’s practice is centralized around her exploration of touch. Lopez was born with limited vision and is now completely blind. Lopez trained in massage therapy and previously volunteered at a soup kitchen when an encounter with Tierra’s ceramics studio shifted her trajectory toward fine art. Her masterful command of clay hand-building techniques enables Lopez to create intricate\, dynamic\, and organically structured coil vessels. Lopez’s works are informed by her finite recollection of color\; she requests specific shades and combinations of glazes that generate spontaneous\, distinctive surfaces when fired. This intuitive approach continues in her fiber wall works and mixed media sculptures. Utilizing punch rug embroidery\, Lopez creates abstract fields of yarn and found objects\, often repeatedly punching through the same area to yield densely layered sections. Lopez has learned to identify the color of her materials via scent and feel\, a process that is difficult to put into words. Her mixed media sculptures are created almost entirely by touch\, consisting of threads\, buttons\, beads\, fabric scraps\, and found objects instinctively stitched together using simple sewing techniques. Lopez hopes her works can be experienced through an inquiry of touch.\n\nEricka Lopez has exhibited her artwork at Laband Gallery and Tierra del Sol Gallery in Los Angeles\, CA. Lopez’s debut solo exhibition\, “Continuous Touch\,” was curated by jill moniz for Tierra del Sol Gallery in the Spring of 2023. She has had works acquired by notable private collections such as that of Beth DeWoody and by the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum at UC Long Beach.

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.\n \nPieces 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.  \n \nIn 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. \n \nBy 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. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’....

The imagined paired with the gut led to a collection of works that overload the senses\, and indulge in a decadence of material and ornamentation. These works conjure memories of the hospital stay\, the museum visit\, the family gathering\, and inexplicable bouts of nostalgia from a lineage that precedes us. We long\, we dream\, we ail\, we labor\, we try and fail to control\, we are overwhelmed\, and yet\, we find bliss and comfort in the middle of it all. We know what we feel and we remember it.

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.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle 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. \n\nRecently\, 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).

Located in the medieval city center of Oxford\, England (about an hour and half northwest of London)\, academic teaching has taken place in this historic institution since as early as the 11th century. Comprised of 44 colleges and halls\, as well as one of the oldest and largest library systems in Europe\, Oxford is a world-renowned hub for intellectual pursuits and research.\n\nU-M’s Center for Global and Intercultural Study (CGIS) offers a study abroad program for undergraduate students for the summer in conjunction with Magdalen and St. Peter's Colleges. The program is administered and directed by St. Peter's College\, but students will live within the stunning Magdalen College. Earn 6–8 credits during this 5-week program in July and August\, and experience Oxford’s traditional approach to university education. Academic courses are designed to provide a taste of the unique Oxford educational style of tutorials (where small groups of 1-5 students engage in in-depth discussions with faculty with relevant expertise) while still keeping overseas students in mind. Choose from 3 focus areas— Environmental Studies\, Medieval Studies\, or English Literature—then choose a specific concentration within each area. Students can experience High Table dinners and croquet on the lawn\, tour the Bodleian Library (which has over 12 million items!)\, climb Magdalen Tower\, stroll through Christ Church Meadow\, and participate in program excursions\, like a 3-day trip across the coast of Wales\, to enhance their understanding of culture\, politics\, and geography in the UK.\n\nIf this program sounds like your cup of tea then Register now via Sessions @ Michigan (https://myumi.ch/Pk7Pd) to learn more!

In both cases\, however\, one attribute of polymers is simultaneously its greatest flaw and a tremendous opportunity in terms of improved performance: processibility. The inability to recycle plastics is at least in part rooted in the array of chemically dissimilar commodity plastics on the market and our inability to recycle such a mixed stream. In this talk\, I will demonstrate the tremendous utility of electrostatic interactions in reducing the potential environmental impacts of plastics. For example\, we have recently demonstrated that incorporating even a single charged group per polymer chain causes highly immiscible polymers to form homogeneous blends with high mechanical strength. Similar electrostatic attractions are so strong as to force conjugated (conducting polymers) to form high solids loading solutions that have shown great utility as battery binders. \n\nBio: \nRachel A.

Although ICIs have shown promising results for many patients\, they do not exhibit the same level of effectiveness across all cancers and individuals. To determine the critical factors affecting responses to ICIs and hypothesize optimal treatment strategies\, we develop mathematical and computational models for in vivo tumor-immune dynamics involving the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint and ICIs. Our models are the first to incorporate tumor cells of high and low antigenicity and two distinct cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) killing mechanisms\, with the preferred mechanism depending on the antigenicity of tumor cells.\n\nWe leverage the predicative power of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and agent-based models (ABMs). Continuous ODEs allow rapid simulations at a realistic scale but cannot describe the spatial structure in the tumor microenvironment. ABMs can model more detailed spatial heterogeneity that better reflects the complexity seen in vivo. Using both models\, we construct virtual cohorts with diverse tumor and immune attributes to simulate the therapeutic outcomes in a heterogeneous population. We reveal relationships between the parameters and the volume or phenotypic composition of tumors to thus identity key tumor or immune characteristics associated with tumor elimination\, dormancy\, and escape. In addition\, we underscore the importance of including spatial components in computational models of immunotherapy by elucidating the additional insights that the ABM provides regarding the spatial complexities of the TME and their impact on therapeutic outcomes.\n\nWe then highlight the necessity of sufficient experimental data and identifiability analysis to reliable model predictions of post-treatment outcomes by the ODE model. Without experimental data\, we create a virtual cohort of mice by randomly sampling the parameter space. With in vivo data\, we perform practical identifiability analysis to estimate the distributions of key model parameters. We show that virtual cohorts constructed from random sampling or distributions of unidentifiable parameters due to limited data yield a wide range of numerical predictions and overestimate the efficacy of ICIs. Moreover\, adequate quantities and varieties of data are required for the practical identifiability of key immune parameters and the construction of realistic virtual cohorts\, which in turn produce accurate and precise numerical predictions\, such as percentage reduction of tumor volume and survival proportion of virtual mice after aPDL1 treatment.\n\nFurthermore\, we discuss the application of machine learning (ML) techniques to address a primary limitation of ABMs — their high computational costs. We demonstrate that it is possible to predict post-treatment tumor outcomes and tumor volume trajectory from parameters of the ABM and a brief ABM simulation period by training an ML surrogate model. Our proposed workflow suggests an effective way to reduce computational time of ABMs by potentially eliminating the need to simulate the ABM until equilibrium or using ML models trained on smaller-scale simulations to predict outcomes of larger-scale simulations.\n\nData-driven and biologically informed mathematical models of cancer control strategies are a powerful complement to experimental studies. A multi-model approach identifies critical patterns and uncovers underlying mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment that drive cancer progression and therapeutic resistance. Our methodology can be adapted to systematically explore a wide range of questions related to tumor-immune dynamics and immunotherapy. The proposed modeling framework can also provide valuable insights for the rational design of pre-clinical experiments and clinical trials.

Plov\, or osh in Uzbek\, is a dish that consists mainly of rice\, meat (beef or  lamb)\, carrots\, and\, often\, garlic. It can vary immensely not only country to country inside of Central Asia\, but city to city\, or even village to village.  Meanwhile\, boorsak is a type of small fried bread made in Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia. One might have it with a bit of sugar\, jam or simply plain as is. Both plov and boorsok are typical foods to be found at celebrations in Central Asia (be they the welcoming of guests\, the successful defense of a dissertation\, or a wedding).  Our celebration will mark the end of the semester and also our first \"film night\" (a tradition we will aim to continue annually). All of plov and boorsok will be prepared by   Baktygul Chynybaeva\, a current Knight-Wallace  at the University of Michigan and a correspondent for Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty’s Central Newsroom in Prague. \nIn addition to the food ( which will again will consist of plov\, boorsok and some additional snacks)\, we will watch and then have a casual discussion of the 2014 Kyrgyz film \, Kurmanjan Datka: Queen of the Mountains (trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIjhRQUsj_8 ). This film  centers around the real figure of Kurmanjan Datka: a Kyrgyz political leader born into the Mungush clan in the Osh region (now the south of modern-day Kyrgyzstan) \, she was known as the Altai Queen and ruled during the Russian empire's annexation of this region and the remnants of the Kokand Khanate in 1876. Statues to this important historical figure can be found in the modern-day cities of Bishkek and Osh in Kyrgyzstan\, and she also appears on the 50 Kyrgyz Som banknote. The movie\, which will have English subtitles\, will focus on Kurmanjan Datka's path to power\, herdealings with the Russians\, and reactions to her sons' discontent with Russian rule. The film will run 2 hours and 11 minutes long. We will plan to start the film at 4:05 and then have a brief\, casual (and ideally fun) conversation following the film. Via the film\, we will hope to touch on topics ranging from 19th century politics\, to gender\, to why a film regarding a Russian invasion might have been made in Kyrgyzstan in 2014. \n UID:129530-21863547@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129530 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Tisch 1014 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241212T152021 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241212T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241212T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UMSI DEI Study Day DESCRIPTION: UID:129595-21863830@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129595 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:North Quad Space 2435 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241125T125617 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241212T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241212T190000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FAST Lecture | Recent Research on Metal and Metallurgical Artifacts\, Craft Production\, and Interaction on Prehistoric Kea DESCRIPTION:This presentation provides an overview of recent work on prehistoric Kea (Cyclades\, Greece)\, which has focused on characterizing and contextualizing metal and metallurgical artifacts from two sites in the northwestern part of the island\, Kephala and Ayia Irini. Final Neolithic Kephala has produced some of the earliest evidence for metallurgy in the southern Aegean (4th millennium BCE). Metallurgical tools and debris have also been found at the long-lived site of Ayia Irini\, in deposits dating from the Final Neolithic through the Late Bronze Age (4th–2nd millennium BCE). Participation in exchange and metallurgy seems to have been crucial to the local economy throughout these eras. This rich assemblage enables an investigation of how metallurgists on Kea were integrated into local and regional networks over the long term.\n\nNatalie Abell is an associate professor of classical archaeology and the director of the Interdepartmental Program in Ancient Mediterranean Art and Archaeology.\n\nThis event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall.

The lines separating the two genres are often blurred\, resulting in new sound worlds and revolutionary compositional styles.\n\nThis program\, entitled folk·lore\, explores this gray zone between the two styles through a “dialogue” between solo cello and string quartet\, with all five artists performing an uninterrupted suite of traditional folk music from around the world along with pieces dating back to the origins of Western classical music. These works remain unannounced to keep this part of the journey free of expectations\, stimulating a sense of community by triggering a novel sense of musical discovery and adventure.\n\nThe second half features one of the most essential and influential works in the classical music repertoire: Schubert’s Cello Quintet in C Major\, the last movement of which skillfully weaves together folk and art music through rhythmic and harmonic patterns characteristic of the Romani music of Hungary.\n\nPROGRAM\nOriginal works and transcriptions arranged by the Ariel Quartet\nand Alisa Weilerstein\nFranz Schubert Cello Quintet in C Major\, Op. 163\, D. 956 UID:121963-21847855@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121963 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ann Arbor,Art,artists,arts,chamber orchestra,Classical,classical music,concert,Culture,Energy,European,Family,Folk Music,In Person,music,performance,Social,Storytelling,Strings,UMS,university musical society,Well-being LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Rackham Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241117T134920 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20241212T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20241212T213000 SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Skate and Sip DESCRIPTION:Join GradSWE for a festive night of ice skating at Yost Ice Arena\, home of the Michigan Wolverine hockey team!
