It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

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:84303-21621518@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:20250108T083229 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250213T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250213T140000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Winter Housing Fairs DESCRIPTION:The winter housing fair events offer students a great opportunity to learn more about off-campus housing options in and around Ann Arbor.

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).

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nIn today’s polarized world\, women leaders who have navigated immense barriers to reach the very highest levels encounter uncharted territory once they get to the top. They often face harsh judgments and heightened scrutiny. While some stakeholders may certainly be receptive\, many others may either overtly or covertly raise concerns about women in leadership positions.\n\nDrawing from her cutting-edge research\, Aparna Joshi will share a stakeholder-first approach organizations can take to counteract bias and foster a more inclusive environment at the highest levels\, helping to reduce friction and the spread of misinformation about women leaders in a polarized environment. She’ll discuss how mapping stakeholders and developing customized strategies based on motivations and the sources of uncertainty or anxiety can help resist or deter gender biases.\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding of a stakeholder-first approach and its implications for building a more equitable and inclusive leadership landscape. Join us to discover actionable insights and strategies you can implement in your organization to support women’s leadership and curb bias effectively.\n\nAbout Joshi:\nAparna Joshi is a Professor of Management at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Over the past twenty years\, Aparna’s research has focused on how social differences translate into inequality with a specific focus on gender inequality across a range of professional settings such as among scientists\, lawyers\, engineers and chief executives. In these occupational contexts\, although women and minorities have made significant human capital gains\, fundamental barriers to future progress remain. Her research aims at building actionable theoretical models that can inform practices aimed at reducing barriers and enhancing inclusion in these settings. She has received numerous awards including the Cummings Award for Early to Mid-Career Scholarly Achievement\, one of the highest professional honors in the field\, by the Organizational Behavior Division of the Academy of Management and she was appointed a Fellow of the Academy of Management in 2019. She has also been featured on Stanford’s list of the top 2% of research scientists in the world. Prior to joining Michigan Ross\, she was on the faculty of the Smeal College of Business\, Pennsylvania State University and at the University of Illinois\, Champaign-Urbana. \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and Samuel Zell & Robert H.

Please apply to attend through the RSVP form\n\nAs advances in healthcare and standards of living continue to improve\, life expectancy is increasing and countries worldwide are experiencing a demographic shift towards older populations. This shift brings many challenges and opportunities related to healthcare\, wellbeing\, and productivity. While healthy aging is as much a concern in the Global South as it is in the Global North\, available data sources have historically tended to be restricted to the latter. This has caused a disparity in our understanding of global aging. New datasets from MICDA will help U-M researchers better understand the challenges and opportunities in both the Global South as well as the Global North so that we can begin to address these issues globally. \n\nJoin the Michigan AI Lab and the e-Health and Artificial Intelligence (eHAIL) program for an in-person discussion on the opportunities and challenges of AI-powered tools and approaches to enable healthy aging globally. U-M researchers working in aging & health will briefly present on new data sources & projects.\n\nTable discussions with domain experts in health\, aging\, survey research & artificial intelligence will form the core of the event. Participants are encouraged to bring their own topics\, problems\, and innovations\, to discuss opportunities and challenges in using AI approaches for healthy aging globally.

Professor Malik develops tools to fight against fake multimedia. He has created a method to detect computer-generated audio at near 100% accuracy and is now turning to fake multimedia detection in real time. Malik's current tools can differentiate real from fake audio at the microscopic level with specific markers. These tools can be used by newsrooms\, social media platforms\, and smart speakers. Professor Malik will discuss the current state of fake media and the strategies used to identify it as well as approaches to verify authenticity.

He received his PhD from UC Berkeley in 2020. He has been the recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER Award and the Deans’ MLK Spirit Award. His research has been recognized by multiple awards\, including six best paper awards from INFORMS\, such as the 2023 INFORMS Junior Faculty Interest Group Best Paper Award\, the 2024 INFORMS Data Mining Best General Paper Award\, and the 2022 INFORMS Computing Society Best Student Paper Award. He serves as an Associate Editor for the INFORMS Journal on Data Science\, and as an area chair for several premier conferences\, including NeurIPS\, ICML\, and ICLR. His research is currently supported by two grants from the National Science Foundation and one from the Office of Naval Research.\n\nAbstract: In contemporary machine learning\, realistic models exhibit increasing nonconvexity and overwhelming overparameterization. This nonconvex nature often leads to numerous undesirable or \"spurious\" local solutions\, while overparameterization exacerbates the risk of overfitting. Yet\, simple “short-sighted” algorithms\, such as gradient descent (GD) or its variants\, often find the needle in the haystack: they converge to low-dimensional solutions even when such structures are neither explicitly encoded in the model nor required by the algorithm. This talk delves into explaining this desirable performance of GD-based algorithms by studying their fine-grained trajectory on over-parameterized models\, spanning from low-rank models to deep neural networks.

They are high-amplitude bursts of X-ray radiation recurring every several hours and originating near the central black holes in galactic nuclei of low-mass galaxies. So far\, only a handful of such events has been found\, although with rising interest in the broader community given their observational and theoretical connection with tidal disruption events and\, possibly\, low-frequency gravitational wave sources. Some of the latest models suggest that these eruptions are triggered by extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs)\, in which the secondary stellar body interacts with the accretion flow of the primary massive black hole. I will outline the observational properties of QPE sources and the latest insights from theoretical models\, including their tantalizing connection with LISA EMRis.

In the US\, the outmoded frameworks of data regulation expose the specter of historical policies that still haunt the cloud wherever it touches the ground. These traces of the past have staggering implications. The effects of this protracted failure of regulatory imagination range from the gutting of the public interest and the loss of digital civil liberties to the creation of a surveillance society that began at the onset of the computer age. By looking through a historical lens\, we can identify the deep footprints of these regulatory power struggles to use lessons from the past to create better paradigms for the future.\n\nJennifer Holt is Professor and Chair of the Film and Media Studies Department at the University of California\, Santa Barbara.

Introducing viscosity is one way to resolve some of these small-scale effects. In this talk\, we examine the vanishing viscosity limit near the formation of a generic shock in one spatial dimension for a class of viscous conservation laws which includes compressible Navier Stokes. We provide an asymptotic expansion in viscosity of the viscous solution via the help of matching approximate solutions constructed in regions where the viscosity is perturbative and where it is dominant. Furthermore\, we recover the inviscid (singular) solution in the limit\, and we uncover universal structure in the viscous correctors. This is joint work with John Anderson and Cole Graham.

These cohomology groups are of interest in several areas of mathematics\, and computing them has proven extremely difficult. One approach to studying these groups is via \"Steinberg modules\"\, which are defined in terms of certain simplicial complexes. After giving a brief introduction to these objects\, I will describe a combinatorial way to put a product and coproduct structure on the Steinberg modules\, and discuss recent work of Ash-Miller-Patzt that used this to deduce a Hopf algebra structure on the cohomology H^k(GL_nZ\; Q)\, and describe how this helps in finding new cohomology classes.

They correspond respectively to non-cooperative or cooperative scenarios\, and the goals of their analyses are to find the Nash equilibriums and social optimums. These frameworks provide approximate solutions to situations with a finite number of players and have found a wide range of applications\, from economics to biology and machine learning. In this paper\, we study how the players can transition from a non-cooperative to a cooperative regime\, and back. The first direction is reminiscent of mechanism design\, in which the game's definition is modified so that non-cooperative players reach an outcome similar to a cooperative scenario. To better understand the second direction we introduce the \"price of instability\" and study how players that are initially cooperative gradually deviate from a social optimum to reach a Nash equilibrium when they decide to optimize their individual cost very much in the spirit of the \"free rider\" phenomenon. To formalize these connections\, we introduce two new classes of games which lie between MFG and MFC: $\lambda$-interpolated mean field games\, in which the cost of an individual player is a $\lambda$-interpolation of the MFG and the MFC costs\, and $p$-partial mean field games\, in which a proportion $p$ of the population deviates from the social optimum by playing the game non-cooperatively. We shallconclude with algorithm for myopic players to learn a $p$-partial mean field equilibrium\, and we illustrate it on a stylized model.\n\nJoint work with G. Dayanikli\, M. Lauriere and F.

Mixing their backgrounds in performance\, philosophy\, psychology\, and digital media\, their collaborations have manifested in video games\, participatory installations\, digital archives\, and card games. In addition to asses.masses\, Patrick and Milton are also the co-founders of the Canadian national video archive of performance (videocan) and the co-creators behind a performing arts economy trading card game (culturecapital). Their projects have been presented across Canada\, as well as in Argentina\, Mexico\, Spain\, Italy\, Germany\, the USA\, and the UK\, in English\, French\, Spanish\, Italian\, German\, and Catalan.\nIn tandem with their appearance in the Penny Stamps Series\, asses.masses will be in performance as part of the UMS season on February 15 and 16\, 2025 at the Stamps Auditorium\, Walgreen Drama Center.\nPresented in Partnership with University Musical Society.

Cook & His Michigan Law Quad DESCRIPTION:“American institutions are of more consequence than the wealth or power of the country.” At least that’s what the wealthy lawyer William W. Cook believed. And from 1922-1930\, Cook acted on that belief by creating a magnificent law school for his alma mater: the University of Michigan. Retired Director of the U-M Law Library Margaret Leary will share the story of Cook’s gift and how it—and the clashes over it—not only created Michigan’s iconic Law Quadrangle\, but also helped inspire a wave of donations that reshaped the University.\n\n\n\nMargaret Leary is Librarian Emerita of the University of Michigan Law School\, having served as Director of the Law Library from 1984 to 2011. For many years she served on American Bar Association teams that visited law schools seeking re-accreditation and worked as a consultant to law libraries around the world giving her wide-ranging exposure to the ways law schools teach and operate. A long-time member of the Ann Arbor District Library Board\, she also writes about local issues for the Ann Arbor Observer and is a volunteer researcher on the Bentley Historical Library’s African American Student Project.

Born in Ayrshire\, Scotland to parents who were factory workers\, he moved to Canada when he was twelve. For decades\, he worked across Canada in rail yards\, construction sites\, and in the Yukon bush\, all the while writing poetry\, setting it to melodies in his head and singing it to himself as he worked. \n\nA truly authentic folk singer\, Francey is a documentarian of the working person who never imagined earning a living from his music. But when he was in his 40s\, his wife\, artist Beth Girdler\, encouraged him to share his songs and sing in public. The reaction was instant. His first album Torn Screen Door came out in 1999 and was a hit in Canada.\n\nSince then\, David has released thirteen albums\, won four Juno Awards and has had his songs covered by such artists as The Del McCoury Band\, The Rankin Family\, James Keelaghan and Tracy Grammer.\n\nFrancey also had the honor of receiving the prestigious SOCAN Folk Music Award as well as taking home the Grand Prize in both the International Acoustic Music Award and in the Folk category for the John Lennon Songwriting Award.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally.

PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

Indeed\, funding agencies almost always require grant applicants to present compelling a priori power analyses to justify proposed sample sizes\, in an effort to ensure a sound investment. Unfortunately\, even researchers’ most sincere attempts at sample size planning are fraught with the fundamental challenge of setting numerical values not just for the focal parameters for which statistical tests are planned\, but for each of the model’s other more peripheral or contextual parameters as well. As we plainly demonstrate\, regarding the latter parameters\, even in very simple models well-intentioned numerical guesses that are even slightly off can undermine power for the assessment of the more focal parameters that are of key theoretical interest. Toward remedying this all-too-common but seemingly underestimated problem in power analysis\, we adopt a hope-for-the-best-but-plan-for-the-worst mindset and present new methods that attempt (1) to restore appropriate conservatism and robustness\, and in turn credibility\, to the sample size planning process\, and (2) to greatly simplify that process. Derivations and suggestions for practice are presented using the framework of measured variable path analysis models as they subsume many of the types of models (e.g.\, multiple linear regression\, ANOVA) for which sample size planning is of interest.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

The explainability framework (based on gradient SHAP) is applied to each grid point in the domain\, and through percolation analysis we identify coherent flow regions of high importance. These regions have around 70% overlap with the intense Reynolds-stress (Q) events in two-dimensional vertical planes. Interestingly\, these importance-based structures have high overlap with classical turbulence structures (Q events\, streaks and vortex clusters) in different wall-normal locations\, suggesting that this new framework provides a more comprehensive way to study turbulence. We also discuss the application of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to discover active-flow-control strategies for turbulent flows\, including turbulent channels\, three-dimensional cylinders and turbulent separation bubbles. In all the cases\, the discovered DRL-based strategies significantly outperform classical flow-control approaches. We conclude that DRL has tremendous potential for drag reduction in a wide range of complex turbulent-flow configurations.\n\nBio: Dr. Ricardo Vinuesa is joining the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan in the Fall of 2025.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Causal inference traditionally relies on tabular data\, where treatments\, outcomes\, and covariates are manually collected and labeled. However\, many real-world problems involve unstructured data—images\, text\, and videos—where treatments or outcomes are high-dimensional and unstructured\, or all causal variables are hidden within the unstructured observations. This talk explores causal inference in such settings.\n\nWe begin with cases where all causal variables (including treatments\, outcomes\, covariates) are hidden in unstructured observations. These causal problems require a crucial first step\, extracting high-level latent causal factors from raw unstructured inputs. We develop algorithms to identify these factors. While traditional methods often assume statistical independence\, causal factors are often correlated or causally connected. Our key observation is that\, despite correlations\, the causal connections (or the lack of) among factors leave geometric signatures in the latent factors' support - the ranges of values each can take. These signatures allow us to provably identify latent causal factors from passive observations\, interventions\, or multi-domain datasets (up to different transformations).\n\nNext\, we tackle cases where unstructured data itself serves as either the treatment or the outcome. In these cases\, standard causal queries like average treatment effect (ATE) are not suitable—subtracting one text\, image\, or video outcome from another is meaningless. High-dimensional unstructured treatments also challenge the overlap assumption required for causal identification. To address these challenges\, we propose new causal queries: for unstructured outcomes\, we pinpoint outcome features most affected by the treatment\; for unstructured treatments\, we identify influential treatment features driving outcome differences. Finally\, we extend these ideas to decision-making algorithms\, such as optimizing natural language actions for desired outcomes.\n\nhttps://yixinwang.github.io/ UID:132381-21870848@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132381 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250128T093843 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T143000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Story Lab Winter Retreats DESCRIPTION:Story Lab develops executive-level presence and communication skills through storytelling workshops and events.

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:84303-21621519@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:20250214T092107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Washtenaw County Health Department Tour (Undergraduate) DESCRIPTION:Come join Lauren Czarnowczan from the Practice Office in collaboration with Patty Krause\, Community Health Analyst\, with the Washtenaw County Health Department for a tour\, conversation\, and fun activities centered around public health on Friday\, February 14 from 10:00-11:30. **This date is specifically reserved for undergraduate public health students. This is a great opportunity to learn more about local public health and to network. Space is limited to 10 seats.

On Friday\, February 14th\, we will meet for our first open Office Hours session to troubleshoot participant projects. \;Register and learn more: https://nebigdatahub.org/drm-project/ \;The Data &\; Research Methods project is perfect for beginners who have never worked with a dataset before. This project will also be helpful for advanced data science students who have little experience working with data cleaning or survey building\, desk research\, or data visualizations. \;The focus of this project is the research process as a whole.It is the first day of your new job as the Junior Data Scientist forthe Office of the Mayor in the fictional town of Data Lake\, West Dakota.The population of Data Lake (314\,159) has grown rapidly since 2020 as a number of remote workers have relocated to the mid-size city. Mayor “Tess Ellation” has tasked your office with a project – to learn more about the specific needs of the town’s new remote work population. She asks you to review data on remote workers provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and come back to her with at least two data-driven policy recommendations which will support these new Data Lake families (for example\, a policy recommendation might be: build new coworking spaces downtown). Your policy recommendations must be informed by data analysis or Mayor Ellation will not adopt them. \;Participants will clean a dataset\, learn about the ethics of data science research\, do some preliminary analysis\,and develop a working hypothesis about the impact of remote work policies. You'll build some simple data visualizations\, test your hypotheses\, write up a short conclusion\, and prepare a final report for Mayor Ellation. \;There are 9 Milestones in this project. There are several Tasks you need to complete within each Milestone. This project should take you no more than 30 hours to finish. Depending on your skill level\, it maytake you less time.In this project\, you will learn using a combination of videos\, articles\, and external data work in spreadsheets. Our team has provided you with several external links and resources which will supplement your learning.Project participants who complete Milestones 1-9 in accordance with these instructions will receive a Certificate ofCompletion from the NSDC Project Team. \; UID:132586-21871310@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132586 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250121T155115 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Douglass Day 2025 DESCRIPTION:We invite you to a birthday party for Frederick Douglass.

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).

This exhibit asks: What do we know about the root causes of prejudice toward skin color? What can we do to improve interpersonal and structural colorism? To answer these questions\, Prof. Rogério Pinto (Social Work) uses personal and historical materials and interview data to optimize audience interaction\, including critical dialogues around colorism while audiences are viewing the installation or immediately after viewing it.

Parsons Lecture - War and Politics before the Incas: An Archaeology of Andean Community and Conflict DESCRIPTION:For Andean South Americans\, violent conflict did not just destroy\; it structured politics and communities in ways that ranged from leadership roles and gender ideologies to understandings of group identity\, territory\, land\, and ancestors. This talk draws on two decades of investigation of hillfort settlements (pukaras) in the Peruvian Titicaca Basin as an entry point to explore the varied forms of Andean community that crystallized around conflict\, defense\, and aggression. I consider pukaras\, and the societies they sheltered\, within a broader panorama of war-related political dynamics over Andean time and space.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Though refusal is an especially powerful mode—particularly for those who have historically not been given the option to say no—people of color and disabled people have long navigated the space between saying yes and saying no to the newest technologies. Technoskepticism relates some of these stories to reveal the possibilities skepticism can create.\n\nThe case for technoskepticism unfolds across three sections: the first focused on disability\, the creative use of wellness apps\, and the desire for diagnosis\; the second on digital nostalgia and home for Black and Asian users who produced communities online before home pages gave way to profiles\; and the third focused on the violence inherent in A.I.-generated Black bodies and the possibilities for Black style in the age of A.I. Acknowledging how the urge to refuse new technologies emerges from specific racialized histories\, the authors also emphasize how care can look like an exuberant embrace of the new.\n\nAuthors include David Adelman\, André Brock\, Aaron Dial\, Stephanie Dinkins\, Rayvon Fouché\, Huan He\, Jeff Nagy\, Lisa Nakamura\, Catherine Knight Steele\, Rianna Walcott\, Josie Williams\, Kevin Winstead\, M. Remi Yergeau\, and Lida Zeitlin-Wu.\n\nTechnoskepticism: Between Possibility and Refusal is part of the Sensing Media: Aesthetics\, Philosophy\, and Cultures of Media series published by Stanford University Press. \n\nTechnoskepticism is available now for pre-order: https://www.sup.org/books/media-studies/technoskepticism \n\nAbout the Panelists:\n\nHuan He is an Assistant Professor of English at Vanderbilt University. He holds a Ph.D. in American Studies and Ethnicity from the University of Southern California and was recently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan's Digital Studies Institute. Across his projects\, his research explores how racial narratives\, fictions\, and tropes shape—and are shaped by—the world of information capitalism. These inquiries engage many fields\, including Asian American literary and cultural studies\, digital studies\, and critical game studies. His current book project\, The Racial Interface: Asian Racialization and the Dreams of the Digital\, explores why Asian Americans have been racially associated with information technologies. Using literary\, cultural\, and archival texts\, the book shows how Asian Americans have come to represent both the nightmare of alienation and the dream of disembodied freedom\, two powerful fictions that shape our digital present. He is also pursuing a second research project at the intersection of race and digital gaming. His scholarly work appears/is forthcoming in Configurations\, College Literature: A Journal of Critical Literary Studies\, Media-N\, and an anthology on Asian American game studies. He is also a poet\, whose work can be found in Poetry\, Sewanee Review\, A Public Space\, Beloit Poetry Journal\, and elsewhere.\n\nRayvon Fouché holds a joint appointment as Professor of Communication Studies and Professor in the Medill School of Journalism\, Media\, and Integrative Marketing Communications at Northwestern University.

Oksala on Feb. 14th at 1! DESCRIPTION:Hello RGFP-ers and philosophers (generally)! \nWe're sending a message to both the RGFP listserv and the department listservs because we're super excited to be hosting an invited external speaker – Johanna Oksala – next week. Professor Oksala will be joining us for a work in progress talk on Feb. 14\, from 1-3 p.m in Angel Hall 2271. \nProfessor Oksala is a professor at Loyola University Chicago known for her extensive work in political philosophy\, feminist philosophy\, environmental philosophy\, Foucault\, and phenomenology. She recently published a monograph Feminism\, Capitalism\, and Ecology (2023). \nProfessor Oksala sent us an abstract for her talk that looks deeply interesting! \nCritical Phenomenology and the Problem of Ideology\nAbstract: The paper stages an encounter between critical phenomenology and Marxist theory for the purpose of contributing to the development of a distinctive method for critical phenomenology. The argument proceeds in three stages. In the first section\, I analyze the Marxist critique of immediate experience with the help of Georg Lukács. I contend that this critique has important consequences for the method of critical phenomenology: critical phenomenology needs a hybrid method that can combine analyses of experience with systemic investigations\, such as Marxist theory\, but it must also grapple with the fundamental Marxist insight that experiences themselves are always ideologically distorted. In the second section\, I consider the possibility that we respond to the problem of ideology by treating critical phenomenology either as a form of standpoint theory or ideology critique. My contention is\, however\, that critical phenomenology should be understood as a distinct form of critique capable of investigating the experiential breaks that open a critical perspective on ideology. In the final section\, I illustrate what this might mean more concretely with a brief discussion of Franz Fanon’s seminal analysis of racialized experience in Black Skin\, White Masks.\nWe'd love for a significant department / RGFP showing. Come and bring friends! Feel very encouraged to come even if you've never shown up to RGFP before! There is no pre-read\, and we have *two* dinner slots left for afterwards (we'll give first dibs to people who show up first to the talk). \nIf you'd like to join in on zoom\, the zoom link for this semester is here.\nBest\, AG & Yixuan  UID:132425-21870909@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132425 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:2271 Angell Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250131T084503 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T140000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Kreativwerkstatt DESCRIPTION:Chat in German and express yourself creatively.

Rudy radically hypothesizes the professional reciter of texts\, the “prelector\,” as a dramatic and tactile mediator between secular manuscript and medieval audience. Many of the traces of physical interactions left on illuminations in (especially “courtly”) books can\, according to Rudy\, be attributed to this figure\, whose practices are otherwise minimally attested in the documentary record. Exploring the implications of this hypothesis\, my talk examines copies of two widely transmitted texts of late medieval French literature: the Roman de la Rose and the Faits des Romains. These manuscripts display numerous signs of readerly touching. I argue that the (professional?) reader’s touch activated or actualized the latent ideological potential of these texts\, whether in terms of the ethics of “courtly love” in the Rose or the politics of empire in the Faits. I propose the concept of haptic virtuality – a nod to film theorist Laura U. Marks’ “haptic visuality” – to account for how touch was a mode of active reading with social\, ethical\, and political ramifications.\n\nHenry Ravenhall is a specialist in medieval French literature and manuscript culture and retains an active interest in medieval Occitan language\, narrative\, and lyric. Broadly speaking\, he is interested in approaches\, both theoretical and empirical\, that rethink medieval texts in relation to manuscript materiality. I'm keen to develop methodologies that make the most of the explosion of digitized manuscripts online\, such as my work on textile curtains in medieval French books.

A crucial aspect of the investigation is measuring their atmospheric composition—particularly that of Jupiter\, Saturn\, Uranus\, and Neptune. The Juno spacecraft has been orbiting Jupiter for over six years\, providing valuable data that we continue to decipher. The challenge lies in understanding the interplay between thermodynamics and fluid dynamics\, where the fluid motions are shaped by condensation and latent heat release. In this talk\, I will introduce findings from space missions\, advancements in simulating multi-phase flows in a planetary context\, and the current theory of the origin of the solar system.\n\nContact: Silas Alben UID:130181-21865567@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130181 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250216T120033 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250214T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Buckeye Blast 2025 DESCRIPTION:Club Gymnastics Meet at Ohio State University!

See below for info on each lecture:\n\nSpeaker 1: Sydney Gable\nTitle: Temporal and Spatial Variations in b-Value for Foreshock Sequences in Southern California\nAbstract: Our current understanding of seismic hazard relies heavily on a parameter known as the b-value\, which describes the relative proportion of small to large earthquakes in a catalog\, and is routinely used in probabilistic seismic hazard assessments to estimate magnitude exceedance probabilities over a long time-span. Recent studies have suggested that fine-scale spatial and temporal variations in the b-value may be used to describe short-term behavior of an earthquake sequence (Gulia and Weimer 2019) particularly during the foreshock period. While the b-value variations of several large earthquake sequences have already undergone thorough investigation\, smaller earthquake sequences have not been analyzed systematically.\n\nIn this work\, we re-estimate earthquake magnitude using a relative amplitudes method which standardizes magnitude measurement for earthquake foreshock sequences. Additionally\, we employ the b+ method for b-value estimation to reduce bias due to short-term incompleteness (van der Elst 2021). We apply this methodology to several earthquake foreshock sequences with moderately sized manshocks (~M 4.0 - 5.5) in Southern California and compare the spatial and temporal variations b-value. This allows us to assess the utility of using fine-scale variations in b-value as a proxy for short term hazard analysis and identify spatio-temporal trends that may shed light on the processes of foreshock evolution.\n\nSpeaker 2: Cameron Tripp\nTitle: Evaluating Ba/Ca as an Upwelling Tracer in Galápagos Porites lobata Corals\nAbstract: In the Galápagos Islands\, strong seasonal upwelling transports cold\, nutrient-rich deep waters to the surface ocean. Local sea surface temperatures (SST) fluctuate as a function of upwelling intensity\, while interannual shifts in this dynamical pattern influence the El Niño Southern Oscillation. The Galápagos phytoplankton stock\, supporting a uniquely diverse marine ecosystem\, depends upon upwelled nutrient supply. With no long-term\, direct measure of Galápagos upwelling\, we rely on proxy data to track its behavior over time. Prior analyses established empirical links between lattice-bound barium (Ba/Ca) in scleractinian coral samples and the abundance of Ba 2+ in the coral environment. Ba 2+ accumulates in the deep ocean through passive inclusion in organic matter and the biological pump mechanism. Barium substitution in\ncoral aragonite suggests Ba 2+ enrichment in the surface ocean\, facilitated by upwelling. This relationship has informed several upwelling reconstructions via Ba/Ca.\nDocumented impacts of temperature\, calcification rate\, and coral physiology on barium substitution complicate these reconstructions. Further\, terrestrial sources of Ba 2+ can override the upwelling signal. To isolate the influence of these conflating factors in the Galápagos upwelling region\, we generated 10 novel Ba/Ca records from modern and fossil coral skeletons – the largest assemblage from this area to date. Paired Sr/Ca records isolate the thermal upwelling signal\, enabling direct comparison. Considering temperature and extraneous factors such as location\, age\, and coral extension rate\, we evaluate Ba/Ca fidelity to the local upwelling pattern. The data reveal consistently weak relationships between Ba/Ca and the thermal upwelling signature.\n\nAdditionally\, mean barium concentrations vary significantly between cores\, increasing in records with lower extension rates and closer proximity to basal aquifers. The inverse relationship to extension matches a kinetic model of Rayleigh fractionation identified in prior studies. Elevated mean values are not intrinsically linked to Ba/Ca disagreement with the thermal upwelling signal\, but low extension rates are associated with both features. These findings challenge present understanding of coral Ba/Ca as a paleo-upwelling tracer.\n\nSpeaker 3: Yiruo Xu\nTitle: \"Did Archean metamorphic terranes cool slower? Insights from garnet diffusion studies on the Superior Province\"\nAbstract: Archean metamorphic terranes are traditionally suggested to have cooled significantly slower than their Phanerozoic counterparts. Many have argued that this contrast in metamorphic timescale reflects changes in Earth’s tectonic regime. However\, diffusion chronometry-based cooling rate data on Precambrian rocks are very limited. We present case studies of metamorphic timescales on the Superior Province\, one of Earth's largest Archean craton. We combine conventional thermobarometry and phase-equilibrium modeling to constrain the peak temperatures and pressures and estimate metamorphic cooling rates from major element diffusion in garnet. The resulting cooling rates exhibit large variability\, with the fastest estimates comparable to those from the Phanerozoic eon and the lowest rates slower by two orders of magnitude. We then discuss the uncertainties and potential biases in determining diffusion timescales. The results complicate the conventional idea of slow-cooling Precambrian orogens. Careful evaluation of the geologic context of individual cooling rate data and more targeted diffusion studies are necessary to address the question of long-term change in tectonics.

A check for $10\,000 from the life insurance policy is coming in the mail\, and everyone has different ideas on what to do with the money. Walter’s son\, Walter Lee\, wants to be the owner of a liquor store\; Walter’s daughter\, Beneatha\, needs to pay tuition for medical school\; Walter’s wife wants to buy a house. \n\nThis award-winning play by Lorraine Hansberry is a deeply human story centered on the black experience in a segregated America\, asking how we should live in the diaspora. The play explores the choice between assimilation and heritage\, the inaccessibility of the American Dream\, and racism and misogyny within and without the black community. It has a lot to say about the human condition\, about family and humanity\, and about the struggle against oppression.

Jon Anderson is the collaborator and performs with Jonutz as a sound engineer.\n\nJon Anderson\nWriting for a variety of music for traditional acoustic ensembles such as orchestra\, band\, and chamber groups\, as well as less traditional ensembles involving interactive computer music\, Anderson frequently incorporates physical movement and dance as structural elements. With awards and honors from institutions such as the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences\, SCI/ASCAP\, and the Pierre Schaefer International Competition of Computer Music\, his works have been commissioned and performed by orchestras\, ensembles\, and soloists throughout the world. Anderson teaches music theory and composition at Wayne State University and is the resident composer for the modern dance company Take Root Dance. Originally from Minneapolis MN\, Anderson holds a DMA in Composition from the University of North Texas\, the MM in Composition from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro\, and a BA in Music from Luther College.\n\nThayer Jonutz performed with Repertory Dance Theatre before moving to Michigan\, immersing himself in both historical and contemporary works. He earned his MFA dance degree from the University of Michigan before beginning his professorship position at Oakland University in 2009 where he has taught Modern dance technique\, improvisation\, composition\, dance pedagogy\, partnering and the student Repertory Dance Company. Thayer has guest performed with Patterson Rhythm Pace Dance Company\, Rustic Groove\, Agua Dulce Dance Theater\, Eisenhower Dance Detroit and Rebudal Dance. Thayer has also co-founded Mise en Place Dance\, soduo\, and Take Root\, which have served as artistic building blocks. As a seasoned educator and artist Thayer strives to continually challenge his comfort zone. His current multiyear creative process on the solo concert Hammer and Nail has pushed Thayer outside the typical modern dance aesthetic and has merged acting\, vocalization\, sound engineering and integrative props to tell his Pandemic survival narrative. Hammer and Nail has enjoyed much success winning the 2023 Oakland University President’s Colloquium award\, presenting it at both Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University January 2024\, and performing it in Spanish for the Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica July 2024.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

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:84303-21621520@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:20250215T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250215T170000 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).

This is a very significant piece of Black history in the United States\, and we want to make sure that we ask as many people as possible who are Black to be involved in this production so that this may come to fruition.\n\nShow Synopsis: \nWalter Sr.\, the father of the Younger family\, has died. A check for $10\,000 from the life insurance policy is coming in the mail\, and everyone has different ideas on what to do with the money. Walter’s son\, Walter Lee\, wants to be the owner of a liquor store\; Walter’s daughter\, Beneatha\, needs to pay tuition for medical school\; Walter’s wife wants to buy a house. \n\nThis award-winning play by Lorraine Hansberry is a deeply human story centered on the black experience in a segregated America\, asking how we should live in the diaspora. The play explores the choice between assimilation and heritage\, the inaccessibility of the American Dream\, and racism and misogyny within and without the black community. It has a lot to say about the human condition\, about family and humanity\, and about the struggle against oppression.

Initially recognized for his skill as a string band musician\, Blount has charted an unprecedented\, Afrofuturist course on his pilgrimage through sound archives and song collections. In his hands\, the banjo\, fiddle\, electric guitar and synthesizer become ceremonial objects used to channel the insurgent creativity of his forebears. From transfixing solo sets to full-band festival appearances complete with crowd-surfing and ecstatic chants\, Blount’s performances – like his recent Smithsonian Folkways release\, The New Faith – seamlessly merge centuries-old traditional songs with the trappings and techniques of modern Black genres.\nComposer and hammer dulcimer virtuoso Simon Chrisman (he/him) brings an unusual and path-breaking style to an instrument that has previously been thought to have limited range and technique\, combining “chamber music’s finely calibrated arrangements with bluegrass’s playful virtuosity and pop music’s melodic resourcefulness.” (The Boston Herald) His touch and sophisticated rhythmic sensibilities are redefining the instrument and earning the attention of musicians from all over the world. Based in Oregon\, he tours with Grammy-nominated Kittel and Co.\, the Bee Eaters\, and Wes Corbett.\nOne of Dance Magazine's \"25 to Watch\,\" Nic Gareiss (he/they) has been hailed by the New York Times for his \"dexterous melding of Irish and Appalachian dance\" and called \"the most inventive and expressive step dancer on the scene” by the Boston Herald. Informed by 25 years of ethnographic study and performance\, Gareiss’ work draws from many percussive dance practices to weave together a technique facilitating his love of improvisation\; clog\, flatfoot\, and step dance vocabulary\; and musical collaboration. In this way Gareiss reimagines movement as a musical practice\, recasting percussive dance as a medium that queers the boundaries between sight\, sound\, and touch.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Let’s bring this world into view! Join us for an exhibit that highlights the complex and often beautiful anatomy of leaves from the Matthaei collection. Plants throughout the conservatory will be paired with microscope photographs and micro-CT scans that illustrate the otherwise invisible structures that protect leaves from chewing insects\, absorb (or repel!) water\, and even recruit “bodyguards”. You won’t look at leaves the same way again! \n\nThis project is a collaboration between MBGNA and the Weber and Vasconcelos labs in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, led by PhD student Rosemary Glos.

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\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:107870-21818042@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:20260210T143205 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250216T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250216T114500 SUMMARY:Presentation:Larry Cat In Space DESCRIPTION:Intended for young children\, Larry Cat In Space is a playful\, imaginative cartoon presentation about an inquisitive cat who takes a trip to the Moon.

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:84303-21621521@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:20250414T011729 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250216T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250216T120000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Discovery Demo: All About Owls DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Science Forum for a 15-20 minute engaging science demonstration that will help you see the world in a whole new way.

This exhibit asks: What do we know about the root causes of prejudice toward skin color? What can we do to improve interpersonal and structural colorism? To answer these questions\, Prof. Rogério Pinto (Social Work) uses personal and historical materials and interview data to optimize audience interaction\, including critical dialogues around colorism while audiences are viewing the installation or immediately after viewing it.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

This exhibit asks: What do we know about the root causes of prejudice toward skin color? What can we do to improve interpersonal and structural colorism? To answer these questions\, Prof. Rogério Pinto (Social Work) uses personal and historical materials and interview data to optimize audience interaction\, including critical dialogues around colorism while audiences are viewing the installation or immediately after viewing it.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

Yet\, critical questions—such as the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking and the mass hierarchy—remain unanswered. Precision measurements of the Higgs boson and its interactions\, especially at high energies\, offer one of the most promising pathways to uncover new physics at the LHC.\n\nThe most favored Higgs boson decay to a bottom-antibottom quark pair ($H \to b\bar{b}$) is emerging as a key channel for studying Higgs bosons produced with large momentum\, where the decay products are reconstructed as a single\, large-radius jet. Historically\, hadronic final states have faced significant challenges due to contamination from QCD processes\, but advancements in jet substructure and tagging techniques have made these analyses viable in the boosted topology. In this talk\, I will present the first measurement of Higgs production in association with a vector boson in the fully hadronic ($qqb\bar{b}$) final state.\n\nLooking ahead\, I will discuss opportunities to improve measurements of highly energetic Higgs bosons and explore the physics potential of the High Luminosity LHC\, the ATLAS detector upgrade\, and future collider projects. These advancements will deepen our understanding of Higgs boson properties and their implications for physics beyond the Standard Model\, paving the way for discoveries in the years to come.

I will then explore how to interpret it within the framework of the theta lifts. \n\nIn the second part\, I will discuss the Rallis inner product formula\, which relates the Petersson inner product of theta lifts to the special value of an L-function. I will explain how this result is established using a see-saw argument and the Siegel-Weil formula.

Miller\, Collegiate Professorship Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:This event will take place both in person and virtually.\n\nProfessor Petra Kuppers\, the Anita Gonzalez Collegiate Professor of Performance Studies and Disability Culture\n\nLecture Title: Disability Culture’s Altered States: Pain\, Suspension\, and Materiality\n\nLecture Abstract: In this talk\, Petra Kuppers shares her career-long engagement with performance and disability culture as an investigation of artful altered states\, connected to experiences of pain\, joy\, and their (feminist) killers. How can we use social justice to reach out\, to touch? How can we try to be open to more than what is easily available to our acculturated senses? How can poetry\, communal time shifts\, and mediated sensory immersion expand and contract our world(s)? Petra will take us on a journey from her native Germany to her current work on the Planting Disabled Futures virtual reality world.\n\nProfessor Sara Forsdyke\, the Josiah Ober Collegiate Professor of Ancient History\n\nLecture Title: Democratic Justice: Democracy and Juries in Ancient Athens and Contemporary America \n\nLecture Abstract: Ancient Athens is famous for its invention of democracy. Less well-known is the fact that ancient Athens created a sophisticated system for trial by jury. This lecture will highlight the unusual features of the Athenian jury system and explore what we can learn from them. \n\nProfessor Jon M. Miller\, the Douglas Richstone Collegiate Professor of Astronomy\n\nLecture Title: A New View of Black Holes\n\nLecture Abstract: Black holes are not cosmic vacuum cleaners\, nor trash compactors. Rather\, they are rampant polluters that forever change their local environment. The process of gas accretion onto massive black holes in galactic centers may release as much ionizing radiation as all of the stars in the universe. And\, counterintuitively\, gas consumption by massive black holes leads to gas ejection at incredible speeds. These winds can scour the central regions of host galaxies\, preventing the formation of new stars. Although the spatial expanse over which accretion onto (and ejection from) massive black holes occurs cannot be imaged directly\, it can be revealed using X-ray spectroscopy. The launch of the XRISM telescope in late 2023 - a joint venture of JAXA\, NASA\, and ESA - is revolutionizing our understanding of black hole accretion. As one of five US \"participating scientists\" with access to early data\, I will describe how this telescope works\, the discoveries that it is making now\, and the incredibly bright future that is on the horizon.\n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join the webinar:\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/91410732768\n\nPhone one-tap:\n+13017158592\,\,91410732768# US (Washington DC)\n+13052241968\,\,91410732768# US\n\nJoin via audio:\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\nWebinar ID: 914 1073 2768\nInternational numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/adRDpC4vcV UID:131208-21867971@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/131208 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Astronomy,Classical Studies,Dance,English Department,English Language & Literataure,History,Theater,Women's Studies LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 10th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250214T100623 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250217T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250217T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student combinatorics: The Markov equation DESCRIPTION:The Markov equation is the Diophantine equation x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - xyz = 0.

But Bisan Owda stayed put. Armed with her phone and fearless determination\, Bisan refuses to let the world ignore what’s happening in Gaza. She’s an Emmy winner who risked everything to show us the brutal reality of occupation and bombardment.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

The hand-pulled prints in the set\, which has never been exhibited before\, span media from colorful laser cut woodblock prints\, to lithography\, to copper plate etching. The newly formed Stamps Student-led Exhibitions Committee (SEC) will curate and rotate selections of these prints in alignment with the portfolio’s theme—where time and effort transform raw potential.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: a. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.b. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.Where can I view my results?c. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.d. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.Important information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) may be offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.* Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) is offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

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:84303-21621522@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:20250130T132623 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250218T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250218T123000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Jason Keeler DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: The evolution of the marine atmospheric boundary layer as it advects inland during the warm season plays a critical role in the initiation–or suppression–of convection in the Great Lakes coastal environment. Gaining a deeper understanding of these transitions and their effects on convection is of significant importance\, particularly given the large population in many coastal areas. To address this\, the National Science Foundation-funded Maritime to Inland Transitions Towards ENvironments for Convection Initiation (MITTEN-CI) campaign was conducted in July 2024\, with the goal of developing an extensive dataset that could effectively characterize these transitions. Over-lake thermodynamic and kinematic profiles were observed by Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS)\, while sampling of boundary layer spatial and temporal variability over land was observed by a 120 km long shore-perpendicular transect including six flux towers\, two mobile mesonets\, multiple radiosonde launch sites\, a Doppler LiDAR\, and two mobile Ka-band Doppler radars. This dataset enables hypothesis testing that will result in new knowledge of processes that support the development of instability maxima on the cool side of lake-breeze fronts (LBFs)\, the potential for diffuse LBFs to exist embedded within synoptic-scale onshore flow and influence CI\, the prevalence of misovortices at intersections of horizontal convective rolls and the LBF\, RKW theory’s relation to the vertical structure of the LBF\, and the influence of entrainment on the thermodynamics and structure of the boundary layer and the LBF. This talk will provide an overview of the MITTEN-CI campaign\, highlighting the unique data collected\, with additional insights provided through analysis of relevant idealized simulations.\n\nAbout the speaker: Jason Keeler is an Associate Professor of Meteorology and has been a faculty member of Central Michigan University’s Institute for Great Lakes Research since 2018. He joined the faculty at CMU following postdoctoral studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln\, and graduate studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research blends aspects of boundary layer and mesoscale dynamics\, with a focus on destabilization and evolution of convection\, often applied to coastal areas. Jason and his collaborators explored these processes in summer 2024 through the NSF-funded MITTEN-CI field campaign (Maritime to Inland Transitions Towards ENvironments for Convection Initiation).

As part of our series celebrating the theme of curiosity\, we invite you to a thought-provoking conversation featuring Deborah Gordon-Gurfinkel (U-M Residential College) and Francesca Williamson (Learning Health Sciences\, U-M Medical School).\n\nIn this session\, panelists will delve into how curiosity not only propels their research and teaching but also fosters innovative\, community-engaged practices. Discover how curiosity-driven initiatives like the expressive arts program \"Telling It\" address the learning and mental health needs of youth\, and learn about the insights garnered from Black children's interactions in healthcare settings. This session promises to expand your understanding of the transformative roles curiosity and learning play in the arts and health sciences.\n\nBring your lunch\, your questions\, and your curiosity! (Light snacks will be provided.)\n\nPresentations:\n\nDeborah Gordon-Gurfinkel - Telling It: Addressing the learning and mental health needs of youth in Washtenaw County through creative expression and evidence-based youth engagement practices\n\nThe presentation will focus on the development of Telling It framed by the teaching practices of its founder\, Deb Gordon-Gurfinkel. Deb taught 6-12th grade students in London\, England before emigrating to the USA in 1986. Telling It is an expressive arts program founded in 2002 that operates in collaboration with schools\, shelter organizations\, community centers\, and carceral systems. The program is linked with the U-M Residential College undergraduate course\, Community Empowerment through the Arts. Telling It staff support the mental health of young individuals by providing safe\, creative\, uncensored and judgement-free spaces. Through its multimodal approach\, Telling It strives to cultivate resilience\, empower and uplift personal strengths\, and provide an expressive arts-based outlet for processing emotional struggles driven by the questions\, needs and interests of the youth and our community partners\n\nFrancesca A. Williamson - Learning with Black Children and Childhoods in Health Care\n\nThis presentation centers on what we can learn about learning and curiosity from Black children's interactions in healthcare settings. Drawing upon ongoing research with children in cancer and surgical care settings\, I bring together ideas from multiple disciplines and empirical findings to illuminate Black children's livingness\, curiosities\, and ways of knowing. I will discuss how learning from children's healthcare interactions can also inspire more humanizing\, equitable care.

Accordingly\, extensive research connects most of fungal diversification and adaptation to sustained reliance on phototrophs in surface systems. The Deep Earth Biosphere\, however\, is now estimated to contain a majority of the planet’s microbial cells. Despite fungi presumably inhabiting the Deep Earth for hundreds of millions of years\, little is known about subsurface fungi\, and micro-eukaryotes more broadly. As an exclusively microbial ecosystem void of ongoing photosynthetic input\, investigation of the Deep Subsurface Biosphere enables examination of the presumed innate qualities of kingdom Fungi\, and eukaryotes more broadly.

Did Coca-Cola Outsmart China? The Scientific Secrets behind Coke’s Success in Shaping China’s Obesity Policies (Virtual) DESCRIPTION:*Virtual Talk: We regret that Susan Greenhalgh is now not able to come in person\, and will be giving her presentation through Zoom only. Please register below to attend.* \n\nModern science and technology are central to Chinese politics and CCP power\, but the intimate connections between science and party politics in China remain poorly understood. This talk presents a case of the corporate corruption of science by Big Food in the US\, and the successful export of that corrupted science to China followed by its incorporation into Chinese health policy. In the mid-1990s the exploding epidemic of obesity posed an existential threat to Big Soda. Led by Coca-Cola\, the industry mobilized scientists to quietly create a “soda-defense science” of obesity\, one geared not to solving a public health problem but to protecting profits on unhealthy sugar-rich drinks. Arguing that science-making in China reflects the nation’s unusual history and socio-political institutions\, this talk highlights five distinctive features of Chinese science-making\, then uses them to unravel the secrets to Coke’s success in shaping China’s obesity policies. Elaborated in Soda Science: Making the World Safe for Coca-Cola\, this research suggests that the corporate corruption of Chinese science and policy is more pervasive than we think\, and that the party’s celebrated “scientific policy making” may not yield better policy.\n \n An anthropologist and specialist in the social study of science\, Dr. Greenhalgh’s interests lie in the entanglements of state\, corporation\, science\, and society\, and their consequences for human health and social justice writ large. She is author of several books on the one-child policy\, including the award-winning *Just One China: Science and Policy in Deng’s China*. Her recent works include *Fat-Talk Nation: The Human Costs of America’s War on Fat and Can Science and Technology Save China?* (as co-editor)\, among other titles. Recognized by several lifetime career achievement awards\, Greenhalgh is currently the John King and Wilma Cannon Fairbank Professor of Chinese Society emerita in the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

However\, their widespread adoption is hindered by inadequate public charging infrastructure\, particularly to support long-distance travel. Identifying optimal charging station locations in large transportation networks presents a well-known NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem\, as the search space grows exponentially with the number of potential charging station locations. This paper introduces a quantum search-based optimization algorithm designed to enhance the efficiency of solving this NP-hard problem for transportation networks. By leveraging quantum parallelism\, amplitude amplification\, and quantum phase estimation as a subroutine\, the optimal solution is identified with a quadratic improvement in complexity compared to classical exact methods\, such as branch and bound. The detailed design and complexity of a resource-efficient quantum circuit are discussed.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Talebpour is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

In this study\, a special role is played by the Halting Problem—i.e. the problem of determining whether a given program stops after a finite number of steps or runs forever. Not only is it the first problem proved to be uncomputable\, it also seems to be the simplest \"natural\" uncomputable problem. Martin's Conjecture is a long-standing open question in computability theory which partially explains why the Halting Problem plays such a special role. A key idea behind Martin's Conjecture is to view the Halting Problem not just as an individual problem\, but as an operator on problems\, which takes any problem to a strictly harder one. Martin's Conjecture consists of a classification of such operators\, which says\, in part\, that the Halting Problem is the minimal non-trivial operator. I will discuss the background and motivation for Martin's Conjecture\, as well as recent progress by Benjamin Siskind and myself which essentially completes a proof of the conjecture for a special class of operators called \"order-preserving.\" UID:132216-21870592@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132216 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1360 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250206T160801 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250218T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250218T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EHAP Lecture Series: Subjective Selection and the Evolution of the Cultural Manifold DESCRIPTION:In 1896\, Franz Boas declared that “the most difficult problem of anthropology” was to explain cultural traditions “that develop with iron necessity wherever man lives”. In this talk\, I will present a research program that aims to return to Boas’s problem using tools and insights from modern sociocultural\, cognitive\, and evolutionary approaches. Addressing shamanism\, music\, and prosocial religion\, I will draw on cross-cultural and long-term ethnographic research suggesting that complex\, ubiquitous cultural traditions reliably emerge as humans create and preferentially retain traditions that appear to satisfy regular proximate goals\, reconciling diverse approaches within cultural evolution. Our profound cultural similarities reflect our capacity to craft culture that compellingly satisfies widespread motivations.

To realize their intriguing potential applications\, ranging from molecular spintronics\, quantum computing\, to high-density information storage\, spin-reversal barriers (Ueff) and magnetic blocking temperatures (TB) must be increased. Lanthanide ions are especially well-suited for the design of SMMs due to their large magnetic moments and magnetic anisotropy that originate from strong spin-orbit coupling of the 4f orbitals. One effective methodology to boost blocking temperatures of multinuclear compounds is to generate strong magnetic exchange between lanthanide centers using radical bridging ligands. In the event of strong magnetic exchange coupling\, undesirable relaxation pathways such as quantum tunneling of the magnetization can be suppressed. Here\, the first isolation of the bisbenzimidazole radical anion (Bbim3−•) and its use in radical-bridged SMMs will be discussed\, Fig. 1.1\,2 Furthermore\, the isolation of the first fluoflavine radicals will be presented.3 A second approach to strong coupling employs heavy p-block elements since their diffuse valence orbitals facilitate better penetration of the core electron density of the lanthanide ions relative to diamagnetic ligands comprising lighter p-block elements. Here\, we will present the first lanthanide bismuth cluster SMMs containing a [Ln2Bi6] heterometallocubane core\, Fig. 1. We will also show that the Bi23−• radical anion can be tamed with rare earth ions to give the first SMMs featuring bismuth radicals\, Fig. 1.4\,5 We also synthesized complexes with diamagnetic 89Y (I = ½) to gain insight into the electronic structure and spin density distribution.6-9 The organometallic rare earth chemistry has been further advanced by the isolation of the first guanidinate complexes featuring a weakly coordinated tetraphenylborate anion\,10 which have ramifications for both magnet design and reactivity studies.11\,12\n\nReferences.

Unlike other common health conditions\, like asthma or heart disease\, stigma around substance use is very high. This is particularly true when people who use substances become pregnant.\n\nIn fact\, pregnant people with a substance use disorder often face the highest levels of stigma and judgment\, even when they ask for help. Substance use during pregnancy also comes with many health risks for the parent and child that are important to address. For these reasons\, it’s crucial to provide compassionate\, supportive\, respectful care for birthing people who are also experiencing a substance use disorder. As a community\, it is imperative that we resist judging pregnant people and instead help them as they begin their journey towards recovery.\n\nJoin us as experts from The Partnering for the Future (PFF) Clinic at University of Michigan Health Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital and the U-M Department of Psychiatry discuss best practices—centering empathy and the very best research—for caring for birthing people with substance use disorders. Our experts will also share practical advice for those of us in the community who wish to better support loved ones who are experiencing addiction during their pregnancy.

Blending genres and moods\, weaving novelistic details into instantly memorable folk songs\, he has crafted a record that feels like a series of personal breakthroughs\, arriving one after the other. \n\nThe first thing that strikes you about Mustafa’s music has always been his writing: a simple\, piercing tone that can make any story feel as raw and earnest as the words to a love song. With a hushed delivery that can silence his surroundings\, Mustafa evolved swiftly from a child prodigy reciting poems throughout his native Toronto to a behind-the-scenes pop songwriting force. On Dunya\, he becomes a full-on auteur in his own right. \n\n“I’m trying to preserve and celebrate the ordinary life in the hood\,” Mustafa notes of his lyrical inspiration. Exploring his upbringing and trajectory onward\, these songs are equally disarming in their simplicity and multilayered in their emotional breadth. Featuring appearances from collaborators such as Aaron Dessner\, Rosalía\, Clairo\, Nicolas Jaar\, and more\, alongside Mustafa’s longtime creative partner Simon Hessmann\, the music reveals a confident\, distinctive voice that’s never sounded more poised for the masses. Even when it sounds like he’s taking on the world\, Mustafa is speaking only for himself: a story that he knows is just getting started.

It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between. A variety of embroidery patterns are used throughout Ukraine\; some stitches are universally known\, while others are region-specific. Ukrainian embroidered clothing is now officially celebrated with an annual Vyshyvanka Day observed throughout the world in May.\n\nTo see photos and read more about exhibited items\, visit https://myumi.ch/AZedA\n \n The embroideries and textiles exhibited are from the private collections of Arnie Klein\, Solomia Soroka\, Katerina Sirinyok-Dolgaryova\, and from the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum located in Hamtramck\, Michigan.\n \n The exhibit opens on September 5\, 2024\, in 1010 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.

In them\, Ross explores humor and personal meaning through absurd juxtapositions of pairs of wildly varied images. Each single image is stripped of its original context (be it\, for example\, a history book\, an instruction manual\, or a magazine advertisement)\, placed on a white background like some kind of specimen\, and presented afresh with a new “companion image.” These companion images confront\, contrast and converse with each other\, and thereby build new relationships\, narratives\, jokes\, and contexts.\n\nAndy Ross grew up in Macomb County\, and has been making art in various mediums since the 1970s. He received a BFA degree from College for Creative Studies\, and an MFA degree from University of Michigan. He has taught photography\, art\, and web design at colleges in California and Michigan. His photographs and collages have been exhibited in schools\, galleries\, and museums across the United States.

This connecting piece explores the origins and journey of the bejeweled figure in flames from *Build or Destroy*\, revealing where they come from and the purpose that led them to Earth. This exhibition reflects a bold shift in Newsome's practice toward sci-fi filmmaking\, layering the architecture of film\, movement\, and world-building to probe themes of identity\, resistance\, and creation.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

PASC is the first progressive art studio and exhibition program in Detroit and Wayne County dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance artistic practices and build individual careers in the art and design fields.\n\nThis exhibition introduces the PASC program\, and the wide range of styles and ways of working that drive this community of artists\, to the Ann Arbor community. The exhibition is hung salon style\, referencing the communal character of the Osterman Common Room as a social gathering space. It intends to bring engaged people together for conversation on art\, disabilities\, and questions of access in the art world.\n\nPASC embraces the philosophy that creating an artwork is an expressive and communal act whereby an individual communicates their unique perspective on the world with the world.

The hand-pulled prints in the set\, which has never been exhibited before\, span media from colorful laser cut woodblock prints\, to lithography\, to copper plate etching. The newly formed Stamps Student-led Exhibitions Committee (SEC) will curate and rotate selections of these prints in alignment with the portfolio’s theme—where time and effort transform raw potential.

These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience\, including\, though not limited to\; racism\, fear of violent black revolt\, lynching\, poverty\, mass incarceration\, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. \n\nThough the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past\; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War\, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era\, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. \n\nThe project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases\, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past)\, is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

A significant percentage of people are now recognized as having neurotypes that are not well supported by societal norms and our collective understanding of how to communicate across and support neurodiversity is still developing. Fortunately researchers\, educators\, and advocates who identify as neurodivergent are contributing to a growing body of best practices. \n\nJoin the LSA Faculty & Staff Disability Navigators in this 2-part workshop series to learn about neurodiversity and how we can all start creating more neuroinclusive workplaces. Attendees will need to register for and attend both Part 1 and Part 2 to gain a comprehensive understanding of this topic.\n\nIn Part 1\, participants will:\nUnderstand what neurodiversity is and how the concept has evolved over time.\nReflect on the ways neurodiversity shapes our experiences\, behaviors\, aptitudes\, and understanding of the world.\nLearn about barriers to neurotype disclosure in the workplace.\nExplore how psychological safety facilitates disclosure and employee success.\nBecome familiar with relevant resources for LSA employees.\n\nAudience: This is a beginner-level workshop open to any LSA employee\, including our student employees. LSA employees receive priority access\, so while external guests are welcome to register they may be waitlisted and allocated spots as space allows.\n\nFormat: This workshop will be conducted virtually on Zoom. Camera use will be optional. Auto-captioning will be enabled and slides will be shared during and following the workshop. Discussion will be facilitated via the chat function and interested participants will be invited to unmute themselves. There will be time for questions and participants will have the option to submit anonymously via the Q&A function.

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:107870-21818044@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:20250219T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250219T170000 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:84303-21621523@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:20250219T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250219T170000 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).

Ukrainian Women as Forced Migrants: Challenges and Pathways to Economic Independence DESCRIPTION:Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/23nJe\n\nThe ongoing war in Ukraine has forced millions of people to seek refuge abroad. Poland is a primary destination for Ukrainian women\, while internally displaced women face unique challenges within Ukraine's labor market. This lecture investigates displaced Ukrainian women’s economic and social adaptation\, focusing on challenges such as linguistic barriers\, career disruptions\, and the intersection of caregiving responsibilities with labor market integration. Drawing on original research conducted from 2022 to 2024\, the presentation sheds light on innovative responses\, including entrepreneurial ventures and workplace adaptations in Poland\, as well as emerging trends and imbalances in Ukraine’s labor market\, where growing demand for women’s participation highlights new opportunities. By contextualizing the lived experiences of Ukrainian women\, the lecture offers critical insights into migration policy\, gender equality\, and pathways to economic independence in times of crisis.\n \nJoining from Zoom\, Liudmyla Huliaieva is an economist and Fellow of the Global MIT At-Risk Fellows Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Holding a PhD in Economics from Kyiv National Economic University\, her research focuses on the economic resilience and financial independence of Ukrainian women forced migrants. Dr. Huliaieva has led over 20 European Union-funded projects addressing migration\, sustainable development\, and economic empowerment. Her academic journey includes fellowships supported by the Polish Institute of Advanced Studies\, the Polish Academy of Sciences\, the Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen\, and the Kosciuszko Foundation. These experiences have enabled her to explore the socioeconomic adaptation of displaced women\, offering valuable insights into migration policy and gender equity. Combining academic expertise with practical project management\, Dr. Huliaieva actively contributes to international initiatives that empower women and marginalized groups\, positioning her as a key voice in discussions on sustainable development and social inclusion.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown\, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid\, if not downright dull. But look a little closer\, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore\, to the games they played\, or the books they read\, their world was alive with bright hues. This exhibit invites you to reimagine history with a fuller color palette and picture the vibrancy and joy that just might be hidden behind the unsmiling photographs.\n\nExhibition opening weekdays from 12-4.

This week\, we will use this presentation to complete the proof that the Chow ring of a matroid is a Poincaré duality algebra. In particular\, we will see that the Chow ring of a matroid is isomorphic to a quotient of the Chow ring of the braid fan by the annihilator of a homogeneous element. Since the Chow ring of the braid fan is a Poincaré duality algebra\, it will follow that the Chow ring of a matroid is as well.

The prospects of a laser-accessible nuclear transition touched off a flurry of proposals to utilize this apparently unique nuclear transition as a sensitive probe of both nuclear structure and chemical environment\, to constrain physics beyond the Standard Model\, and to construct a clock with unprecedented performance. Unfortunately\, Kroger and Reich could only tell us that the transition energy was less than about 100 eV and therefore scientists have spent the intervening 48 years searching for the thorium nuclear transition. \n\nI’ll describe our efforts over the last 16 years to construct the first thorium-doped crystals and their use to perform nuclear laser spectroscopy\, resulting in a measurement of the nuclear transition energy as 8.355733(2)_{stat} (10)_{sys} eV in ^{229}Th:LiSrAlF_6 . I will also discuss recent work observing the nuclear transition in thin films of ^{229}ThF_4\; ongoing work to understand and harness the effect of the crystalline host on the isomeric transition\; and the next steps for using this transition to probe new physics and build better clocks. This work was funded by the NSF and ARO.

These qualities make experimental pursuits at Jupiter ripe for discovery. One example\, is the pursuit of the underlying physics powering Jupiter’s auroras. Prior to 2016\, the phenomenological picture of Jupiter’s northern aurora was established based on sparse ultraviolet and X-ray observations from Earth-orbiting observatories. Those auroral maps hinted that Jupiter’s auroras were driven in a much different manner than other planets’\; however\, in situ measurements were lacking to test various hypotheses. In 2016\, NASA’s Juno mission provided the first measurements of Jupiter’s polar magnetosphere and auroral regions\, and revealed that Jupiter is more complex than theories originally established. Juno has been orbiting Jupiter for over eight years and has executed 70 polar orbits with altitudes as close as a few thousand kilometers over its one-bar “surface”. This presentation will highlight Juno’s major auroral discoveries with an emphasis on its enigmatic polar cap auroral region. We will discuss how Jupiter’s space environment gives us access to a plasma parameter regime that is unlike other planets and how we can use that to explore similar and distinct properties of planetary magnetospheres. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nGeorge Clark received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Texas\, San Antonio in 2014. George then joined the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in 2015 where his research specializes in the physics of energetic particle phenomena in the magnetospheric and auroral regions at Jupiter. He also builds energetic particle instruments for NASA and ESA missions. He is currently a science team member on NASA’s Juno mission\, the lead of the Jovian Energetic Electron sensor on ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission\, and the lead of the Ultra energetic neutral atom imager on NASA’s Inter-stellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe. George was awarded the NASA early career achievement medal for his scientific contributions in understanding Jupiter’s magnetosphere and auroras.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person and simulcast via Zoom: https://mipse.umich.edu/seminars_2425.php#winter2025 UID:130708-21866558@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130708 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Astrophysics,In Person,Michigan Engineering,Physics,Plasma,seminar,Space,Talk LOCATION:Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building - 1003 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250217T102113 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250219T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250219T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Dualizability of derived categories of algebraic stacks DESCRIPTION:A fundamental result of Neeman states that the derived category of a quasi compact separated scheme X has a property known as compact generation\, which allows one to understand D(X) in terms of a simpler subcategory. In the setting of algebraic stacks\, the question of compact generation is more subtle: it turns out to fail in some cases\, and the precise generality in which it holds is unknown. Recently\, there has been increased interest in a weakening of the notion of compact generation known as dualizability\, which still allows for many of the same manipulations that compact generation is used for. In this talk I will review this circle of ideas\, and explain a result that characterizes those Noetherian algebraic stacks with affine diagonal X for which D(X) is dualizable.

Functional graphenic materials (FGMs) are prepared through chemical modification of graphene oxide\, an allotrope of carbon with abundant carbon-oxygen functionality. The Sydlik group has found FGMs to be bio- and environmentally compatible and have applied these materials in conjunction with polymers to address a number of applications for human health. We have designed FGMs to include signaling peptides and inducerions to be cell instructive for tissue regeneration\, with 3D printed scaffolds showing promise as bone regeneration scaffolds. We have designed FGMs and polymers to serve as effective scaffold materials to remove heavy metals\, including lead\, from the body\, water\, and food. Finally\, we are designing self-assembling peptides to adsorb drugs to treat non-opioid overdose. The FGMs and polymers rationally designed by the Sydlik group have shown promise to improve the landscape of human health.

Omenn Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics Weekly Seminar Series DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Enhancers are crucial genetic elements that control tissue- and cell-type-specific gene expression in metazoans. Omic studies revealed hundreds of thousands of putative enhancers in the human genome\, many of which are associated with\, and may functionally contribute to\, human disease risk. However\, the mechanisms underlie enhancer action remain incompletely understood.

The multinomial dimer model\, introduced by Kenyon and Pohoata\, studies a natural but non-uniform measure on N dimer covers. While the standard dimer model (N=1) is exactly solvable only in two dimensions (i.e. on planar graphs)\, in the N to infinity limit\, the multinomial dimer model turns out to be exactly solvable even in three (or higher) dimensions.

This talk will explore two interconnected research directions in digital health monitoring: analyzing physiological adaptation in bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients and developing mathematical frameworks for stress detection.\n\nIn the first part\, we'll examine methods for quantifying physiological acclimatization in BMT patients using continuous heart rate\, activity\, and sleep data. We'll discuss the mathematical challenges in processing high-dimensional\, temporally-correlated physiological signals and approaches for detecting significant changes during vs post engraftment period.\n\nThe second part will introduce our novel MOXIE (MultimOdal eXploration of psychological challenges in Interactive Environments) study\, which aims to characterize individual stress signatures through multiple biophysiological signals. We'll explore planned approaches for integrating diverse data streams - from continuous physiological monitoring to ecological momentary assessments to video and blood samples. Special attention will be given to emerging computational frameworks\, including applications of Long Short-Term Memory networks for temporal pattern recognition\, self-attention mechanisms for capturing long-range dependencies in stress responses\, and state-space models for efficient sequence modeling. We'll discuss how these advanced architectures might help bridge the gap between traditional time series analysis and the inherent complexity of mind-body interactions.\n\nThe talk will conclude by exploring how these mathematical frameworks could advance our understanding of psychoneuroimmunology in cancer patients. We'll discuss the potential impact on developing targeted interventions to improve survival outcomes\, particularly in understanding how psychological stress influences immune function and disease progression in cancer patients. This work aims to bridge the gap between computational modeling and personalized clinical interventions in oncology.\n\nCasual Networking Mixer:\nGraduate students\, postdocs\, and faculty\, especially those working in Applied Math are invited to a casual networking mixer after the talk. Foods and drinks will be provided.

Formally\, in the limit as $N\to\infty$\, the system takes the form of a nonlinear (McKean-Vlasov) Markov chain\, and we rigorously establish this limit. Specifically\, under the assumption that the mean field system has a unique\, exponentially stable stationary distribution\, we show that the weak error between the empirical measures of the $N$-particle system and the law of the mean field system is of order $1/N$ uniformly in time. Our analysis makes use of a master equation for test functions evaluated along the measure flow of the mean field system\, and we demonstrate that the solutions of this master equation are sufficiently regular. We then show that exponential stability of the mean field system is implied by exponential stability of solutions to the linearized Kolmogorov equation with a source term. We apply our results to study the convergence of large population games to mean field games and give a new condition for the existence of a unique\, exponentially stable stationary distribution for a nonlinear Markov chain.
