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.

Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

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.

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:107870-21818041@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:20250215T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250215T114500 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:84303-21621520@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.

Admission is free of charge for everyone!\n\nThe trailer and play encompass the lives of four Malaysian women: Nora\, Juwita\, Carina\, and Ashwin. These women have different backgrounds that explore topics of womanhood\, including feminism\, motherhood\, and gender inequality. The play incorporates Malaysia’s diverse cultural elements\, including traditional dances\, fashion\, and lifestyle—all packaged into a coming-of-wisdom drama. This play aims to raise awareness of the underrepresented stories\, triumphs\, and struggles of Malaysian women\, which ultimately transcend Southeast Asian borders. Additionally\, to end the night\, MiMSA provides attendees with a serving of famous Malaysian dishes namely Nasi Lemak\, Satay\, Kuih Ketayap\, and a few others as they lounge and indulge in good conversation at the few areas we reserved like the Psychology and Mathematics Atriums. This is a chance for people to talk with Malaysians at the university\, have discourse with each other about the play as well as Malaysia generally\, and hopefully leave MCN 2025 with new friends.\n\nThe night will begin at 6.30 p.m.\, although we encourage guests to arrive at 6.00 p.m. The intended audience for MCN includes students\, faculty\, and staff of the University of Michigan\, as well as members of the broader Ann Arbor community and individuals interested in Southeast Asian culture.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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. He has more than 12 years of experience in teaching\, research\, and consulting in vehicle automation\, connected transportation system\, traffic analysis\, and traffic flow theory.

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. This session will not be recorded.\n\nAccommodations: The LSA DEI Office greatly values inclusion and access for all.

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.

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. In this talk\, I will define the model and discuss new results in two and three dimensions\, including: explicit formulas for the free energy\, a large deviation principle\, Euler-Lagrange equations\, and descriptions of limit shapes and some of their properties.

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.

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.

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.

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:84303-21621524@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:20250303T063219 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Work/Intern at Sony Japan: Information Session (UMich) DESCRIPTION:Greetings from the Global Talent Acquisition Team at Sony HQ in Tokyo! We welcome all current and recently graduated Bachelor’s\, Master’s\, and PhD students (and postdocs!) to join our information session event.

Understanding the conditions under which these phenomena emerge is of great fundamental interest and important for deterministically designing materials for new applications. In these device-integrated quantum materials\, the macroscopic responses are not solely due to the intrinsic interactions of the materials. Instead\, these interactions\, and the resulting ground state physics\, are modified by the specifics of the device integration.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss how integrated quantum materials form sub-wavelength cavities due to their micron-size\, confining low-energy light into the near field. I will introduce time-domain on-chip THz spectroscopy as a technique to capture the cavity electrodynamics\, probing the response of integrated materials to light on their natural frequency (~THz/meV) scales. This technique overcomes the mismatch between free-space THz wavelengths (~300 um) and sample size (~10 um) by measuring the optical conductivity on-chip\, in the near field\, and at finite momenta. I will illustrate how the properties of integrated quantum materials\, such as gate-tunable van der Waals heterostructures\, can be modified and controlled due to cavity effects. Using on-chip THz spectroscopy\, I observed light-matter hybridization in a gate-tunable van der Waals heterostructure\, between plasmonic self cavity modes in monolayer graphene and a graphite electrostatic gate. This hybridization can be tuned into the ultrastrong coupling regime using electrostatic gating and the cavity geometry. In this regime\, light-matter coupling can be wielded to engineer new thermodynamic ground states. Together\, these results lay a path for utilizing integrated quantum materials in novel THz quantum technologies. \n\n\nBio.\nHope Bretscher is currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter\, in Hamburg Germany\, where she investigates the low-energy electrodynamics of 2D materials.

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).

Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. \n\nRegister for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/XGpyJ.\n \n The Constitution of Japan is the oldest unamended constitution in the world\, but debates over its revision have picked up steam in the last decade. Various Liberal Democratic Party leaders have declared constitutional change a top priority\, but it is unclear whether the public shares their commitment. This talk focuses on a specific distinction: whether amendments are perceived to be necessary (present urgency) versus desirable (future improvement). Professor McElwain will discuss this difference using evidence from comparative constitutional data and survey experiments in Japan.\n \n Kenneth Mori McElwain is a professor of comparative politics at the Institute of Social Science\, University of Tokyo. His research focuses on comparative institutions and Japanese politics\, with a particular emphasis on constitutional design and change. He holds a BA in public and international affairs from Princeton University and a PhD in political science from Stanford University\, and he was an assistant professor of political science at the University of Michigan before assuming his current position.

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.

In this in-person workshop\, participants will explore the art of narratives\, a technique that has been integral to social justice movements\, organizing\, and community building. By learning how to listen to others' stories and share their own\, participants will uncover how narratives shape our understanding of issues and influence collective action.\nThe workshop will provide frameworks for crafting and analyzing social change narratives\, focusing on the intersection of storytelling\, grassroots organizing\, and strategic advocacy. Participants will gain practical skills to help communities reframe their stories\, empower individuals to rewrite the narratives they tell themselves\, and unite groups around shared values. Whether you’re working with students\, communities\, or policymakers\, this workshop will support you with the tools to use storytelling as a transformative strategy for social justice.\n\nKey Takeaways:\n\nLearn how to use storytelling as a tool for social justice advocacy and collective change.\nDevelop a strategic approach to narrative analysis within the context of movement work.\nGain insights into the creative process of integrating storytelling with grassroots organizing.\nExplore ways to empower communities to share their stories\, build solidarity\, and foster collective action.\n\nRegister Here: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/87875 UID:129925-21864890@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129925 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Free,Graduate Students,In Person,Social Impact,Social Justice,Undergraduate Students,Workshop LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250211T113423 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T121500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T124500 SUMMARY:Performance:New Series: Division Street Pipes DESCRIPTION:Join us as Nicholas Welch\, bachelor's student in organ and sacred music\, performs a 30-minute organ recital.\n\nThe University of Michigan Organ Department presents Division Street Pipes\, a new pipe organ recital series\, in collaboration with St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church\, located just blocks from the heart of Kerrytown.\n\nDivision Street Pipes concerts will take place on Thursdays at 12:15 pm.

The news of recalls and re-certifications in the automotive and aerospace industries is an eloquent testimony to the difficulty of system design. Many voices from government agencies\, industry\, and academia have thus called for the development of theoretical and practical tools to provide assurance of the correctness of our complex systems.\n\nAssume guarantee contracts provide a theoretical and methodological framework to compositionally design systems with rigorous guarantees. In this talk\, we will introduce contracts and their algebraic operations through case studies in space mission design and autonomous driving that show where current system design methodologies struggle. We will also introduce Pacti\, a software package that enables engineers to carry out system-level design using contracts.\n\nBio: Inigo Incer is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan\, where he leads the Complex Engineering Systems Laboratory. He obtained his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley in 2022 and was subsequently a postdoctoral researcher at Caltech. He is interested in all aspects of cyber-physical systems\, emphasizing formal methods and AI that support their compositional design and analysis.

A key challenge in the field is capturing multi-dimensional data\, such as polarization\, phase\, and fluorescence lifetime\, with high precision and efficiency\; these data provide a deeper understanding of various biomedical processes. This talk focuses on two recent advancements in optical imaging that address this critical challenge.\n\nThe first part focuses on single-molecule orientation localization microscopy. Fluorescent molecules behave as oscillating dipoles\, with their dipole orientations affecting both absorption and emission processes. By leveraging the principles of light-matter interactions and advanced statistical tools\, we have developed imaging systems capable of not only measuring the positions of individual fluorescent molecules with nanoscale resolution but also determining their orientations. This capability offers unparalleled insights into biophysical phenomena\, such as membrane-protein interactions.\n\nThe second part covers advances in computational imaging\, where optical systems are combined with computational tools\, from closed-form mathematical relations to state-of-the-art neural network-based approaches\, to enable unique multi-modal imaging and high-throughput data acquisition. Examples include a bimodal imaging system that integrates 3D fluorescence with quantitative phase imaging\, and a single-shot volumetric fluorescence imaging system capable of capturing an entire 3D scene in a single snapshot.\n\nThese advancements demonstrate the integration of optical physics\, engineering\, and computational methods to enhance the capabilities of optical imaging for biomedical applications and biophotonics.\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94337625486 UID:132276-21870699@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132276 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,seminar LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 1130 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241024T122905 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Introduction to External Resources for Humanities Scholarship DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Collaboratory is offering its second annual Research Orientation Series beginning in September 2024.

Unfortunately\, IGM absorption prevents us from directly measuring escaping ionizing Lyman continuum (LyC) photons from z>6 galaxies. Instead\, we must investigate LyC escape using lower-redshift samples. To address this issue\, we have undertaken the Low-redshift Lyman Continuum Survey\, the largest survey of LyC emission at low redshift. With HST UV observations of 66 galaxies\, this survey has nearly tripled the number of low-redshift LyC detections\, enabling us to systematically test proposed indirect diagnostics of LyC and establish the physical properties of LyC-emitting galaxies. I will share recent results from the survey\, which is giving us new insights into feedback and the interstellar medium in highly star-forming galaxies and revealing the possible properties of the galaxies that reionized the Universe.

Carbohydrate-containing molecules\, such as human milk oligosaccharides and glycolipids\, are notoriously difficult to characterize\, largely owing to their high degrees of isomeric heterogeneity. Thus\, new analytical methodologies are required to improve the confidence of their characterization. In the first portion of this seminar\, the use of cyclic ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (cIMS-MS) in conjunction with multiple tandem mass spectrometry-based strategies is presented as a new method toward the de novo sequencing of carbohydrate-based molecules. \n\nRecently\, new insights from high-resolution ion mobility separations have revealed that mass distribution-based effects are responsible for the separation of isotopologues and isotopomers – an observation which should be impossible based on existing theory. In the second portion of this seminar\, the use of isotopic shifts to delineate amongst isomers and conformers will be discussed. Additionally\, the development of both experimental and theoretical approaches to better understand the fundamental nature of mass distribution-based isotopic shifts will also be presented.

Participants will be able to ask him about his book's argument\, his process of conducting archival research for this book\, and the process of turning his dissertation into a monograph. Participants should come having read his book\, or at least some parts (or even just one chapter) of it. \nDr. Hamed-Troyansky is a historian of global migration and forced displacement and Assistant Professor of Global Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. His research examines Muslim refugee migration and its role in shaping the modern world. He is the author of Empire of Refugees: North Caucasian Muslims and the Late Ottoman State (Stanford University Press\, 2024). Dr. Hamed-Troyansky is currently working on a transnational history of Muslim displacement in the Middle East\, Central Asia\, and South Asia since 1850. \nEmpire of Refugees reframes late Ottoman history through mass displacement and reveals the origins of refugee resettlement in the modern Middle East. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky offers a historiographical corrective: the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire created a refugee regime\, predating refugee systems set up by the League of Nations and the United Nations. Grounded in archival research in over twenty public and private archives across ten countries\, this book contests the boundaries typically assumed between forced and voluntary migration\, and refugees and immigrants\, rewriting the history of Muslim migration in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book has already won two awards - 2024 Gold Medal in the History (World) category\, Independent Publisher Book Awards and 2024 Alixa Naff Prize in Migration Studies\, Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies . \n\nDr. Hamed-Troyansky has made this  digital map of over 1\,100 North Caucasian refugee villages in Turkey\, Jordan\, Syria\, and Iraq.\n I'll hope to see you all at the event! If anyone is interested in workshopping articles-in-process or dissertation chapters in March or April with the Central Asian Studies RIW please write me to let me know.

Babylonian approaches to describing and calculating astronomical phenomena were primarily – though\, as I will show\, not exclusively – through numerical modelling rather than by means of geometrical or physical models. Therein lies the rub: some historians claim that geometrical models and physical theories are a requirement of science\, and therefore\, they judge Babylonian astronomy as falling short of being true science. In this talk\, I will discuss whether this is an appropriate way to understand whether an early astronomy is scientific and\, more to the point\, show that Babylonian scholars did indeed construct theories of the behaviour of the sun\, moon\, and planets but that historians have usually been looking in the wrong place to find those theories.\n\nJohn Steele is the Charles Edwin Wilbour Professor of Egyptology and Assyriology at Brown University.

Massey creates jewelry\, sculpture\, performance\, video\, music\, and immersive environments with large-scale jewelry pieces and quilts. Massey was the first Black woman to earn an MFA in metalsmithing from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. She draws on 1980s hip-hop culture and her experiences as a Detroit native to explore the concept of adornment in African diaspora and contemporary issues surrounding race\, class\, and popular culture.\n\nMassey merges her art practice with meaningful community engagement to explore the relationship between identity\, public space\, and community. Her installation 7 Mile + Livernois\, currently on display at the Detroit Institute of Arts\, refers to the neighborhood at the heart of Detroit’s Black business and fashion district.

Massey’s work is in the permanent collections of many institutions\, including the Museum of Art and Design in New York and the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia.

PFC William Santiago\, a young Marine who is considered a “weak link” in his unit\, has died as a result of actions taken by two of his fellow marines. Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and PFC Louden Downey claim Santiago’s death was the accidental outcome of a routine hazing incident ordered by a superior officer. Their superior officers claim there was no such order and that the two men should be held accountable.\n\nDefending Dawson and Downey are three Navy attorneys who hold their own complicated (and sometimes conflicting) ideas of duty and honor: Daniel Kaffee\, the son of a renowned lawyer whose career casts a long shadow\; Sam Weinberg\, who will do his best to defend the accused in spite of his suspicion that they are bullies\; and Joanne Galloway\, a lieutenant commander with strong instincts and minimal courtroom experience who is dead set on uncovering the truth no matter what. This fast-paced\, high-stakes play raises timeless questions about the price of blind loyalty and the way ideals like honor and duty can be twisted until they are unrecognizable.\n\n\nWritten by Aaron Sorkin\nDirected by Geoff Packard\n\nRecommended Ages: 15+ UID:122329-21848611@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122329 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts - Arthur Miller Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250220T180010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T210000 SUMMARY:Other:Revive DESCRIPTION:Come and discover hidden gems in the Bible!  Every Thursday night\, 7:30-9:00PM\, we will have Revive at 2210 ABC in the Michigan Union.  Our usual agenda for this event includes singing\, hearing a spoken message\, and having breakout discussion.  This is a great opportunity to meet others who love the Lord Jesus and to learn more about His Word!  See you there!! 🙂\"Your word is a lamp to my feet / And a light to my path.\" (Psalm 119:105) UID:130348-21865789@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130348 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Michigan Union, 2210 ABC (Second Floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250220T121644 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250220T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Government Inspector DESCRIPTION:When the locals in a small Russian town learn that an undercover government inspector is coming for a surprise visit\, an unfortunate case of mistaken identity sends the whole village spiraling into a world of panic and greed.

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.

From Schism to Union and Back: Eastern Christians and Catholic Expansion in the Age of Confessionalism DESCRIPTION:In recent decades\, there has been a resurgence of scholarship on contacts between the Catholic Church and Eastern and Oriental Churches in the pre-modern period. Spanning large swaths of Eastern Europe and the Middle East\, these interconfessional encounters were marked by fierce theological debates\, cultural misunderstandings\, political intrigues\, and complex negotiations of religious practices and beliefs. They produced greater familiarity and mutual understanding of confessional traditions in anticipation of the coveted Christian unity\, while also resulting in new schisms between and within the Churches. Since studies of these developments are often nested inside their geographically defined fields\, this workshop aims to put them in dialogue with each other\, exploring differences\, connections\, and wider patterns across the vast geography of Eastern Christianity.\n\nThis workshop explores themes of church unity and confessionalization\, conversion and religious syncretism\, knowledge production and intellectual exchange. It features papers by scholars working within different disciplinary frameworks\, including cultural history\, theology\, and art history\, with the focus on the Armenian and Ruthenian Orthodox Churches in their encounter with early modern Catholicism.\n\nWorkshop Program (Eastern Standard Time/EST)\n\n9:45-10:00 AM Welcome & Opening Remarks – Gottfried Hagen (University of Michigan) & Bogdan Pavlish (University of Michigan)\n\n10:00-11:30 AM Keynote Lecture – Cesare Santus (University of Trieste)\n*Education\, Confession\, and Devotion: Shaping Armenian Catholicism in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire*\nJust when the confessional paradigm seemed to have exhausted its heuristic potential in the context for which it was developed (sixteenth-century Western Europe)\, a new generation of scholars rediscovered its usefulness for analyzing religious polarization in the early modern Ottoman Empire and Eastern Europe Drawing on this historiography\, this lecture will focus on a specific case study: the Armenians of Constantinople and Ottoman Anatolia at the turn of the eighteenth century In their case\, contact with Catholic missionaries not only created a rift within these communities but also led over time to the construction of two distinct and opposing confessional identities Specifically\, this lecture will analyze the cultural and social tools used by both Catholic missionaries and the Armenian Apostolic clergy to build and consolidate a sense of belonging to two faith communities\, overcoming previous ambiguities and the efforts of those who did not want to choose between Rome and Etchmiadzin.\n\nPanels:\n\n11:45-1:00 PM Panel I: Confessionalism in Medieval Armenia\nDiscussant: Helmut Puff\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\n\nSergio La Porta\, California State University\, Fresno\, CA – *Tradition!?

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.

Often in academic spaces\, we do not learn from the activists\, community leaders and organizers doing the work in our communities. We want to flip this narrative and provide a space for community leaders to be the teachers\, and for students to engage in this type of learning in an accessible way. \nThis past year\, the world has become more aware of the ongoing struggles of many\, including Congo\, Sudan\, and Palestine. Although we are not there\, there is a sense of urgency and responsibility for us to also advocate for the liberation of these people in addition to our own selves. We recognize how these struggles that are happening across the world are happening parallel here. Dr. King said\, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality\, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly\, affects all indirectly.” Black freedom struggles in the United States have always had global dimensions and a deep impact on others across the world.\nFor the purposes of Building Power\, we will be using the following definition of collective liberation from the Center of Racial Justice in Education: Collective liberation acknowledges that multiple oppressions exist\, and that we work in solidarity to undo oppression in ourselves\, our families\, our communities\, and our institutions\, in order to achieve a world that is truly free. Black Radical Healing Pathways chose this topic for this year’s Building power because we wanted to explore the meaning of ujima (collective work and responsibility) in current day contexts and liberation movements. \nWhile we talk about global struggles\, it is imperative to remember that we have multiple liberation movements happening on US soil today that also require collective liberation. As we work within these movements\, having the knowledge of global struggles allows us to be more intentional in our work and advocacy. Keeping the essence of Building Power’s mission in mind\, we plan on inviting speakers who have diverse experiences in multiple liberation movement spaces with impacts here and abroad.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This book tells the story of a remarkable generation of early twentieth-century bibliophiles\, librarians\, and scrapbook makers who dedicated themselves to documenting the history of African American life at a time when dominant institutions cast doubt on the value or even the idea of Black history. Traveling from the parlors of the urban north to HBCU reading rooms and branch libraries in the Jim Crow south\, Scattered and Fugitive Things draws on overlooked sources--such as book lists and card catalogs--to reveal the risks these collectors took to create Black archives. The book also explores the social life of collecting\, highlighting the communities that used these collections from the South Side of Chicago to Roanoke\, Virginia. In each case\, archiving was alive in the present\, a site of intellectual experiment\, creative abundance\, and political possibility.

While compensation for community partners is a foundation of ethical community-engagement practice\, the complex administrative and financial systems of R1 universities are not designed to easily facilitate such compensation.\n\nJoin us for an extraordinary panel of community engagement professionals from TRUCEN to share findings from their national survey of R1 universities on the challenges associated with compensating community partners who contribute to community engagement initiatives. In this session\, members of the TRUCEN Sustained Conversation Group on Cultivating Community Voice will discuss principles and philosophy for compensating partners that advocates can use in conversations with your colleagues in procurement\, finance\, HR\, fundraising\, and senior leadership. Our goal will be for attendees to consider how these principles and practices intersect with the University of Michigan’s institutional context\, and begin to identify next steps to simplify processes\, and reduce delays\, for compensating your community partners. The workshop will preview content being developed for a toolkit which will provide community engagement professionals and faculty members with 1) talking points to make a case for compensating community partners and 2) examples of promising processes and practices used by campuses across the country.\n\nFeaturing:\n\nDouglas Barrera - Associate Director for Faculty and Community Engagement\, UCLA Center for Community Engagement\, UCLA\nLaurel Hirt - Director of the Center for Community-Engaged Learning\, University of Minnesota\nMindi Levin - Founder and Director of SOURCE\, the community engagement and service-learning center of Johns Hopkins University Schools of Public Health\, Nursing\, and Medicine.\nMichelle Snitgen - Assistant Director\, Academic Programs\, Center for Community Engaged Learning\, Michigan State University\nChan Williams - Assistant Director for Academics and Operations\, MDP Program & Paul D.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The rapid adoption of large language models (LLMs)\, such as GPT-4 and Claude 3.5\, underscores the need to distinguish LLM-generated text from human-written content to mitigate the spread of misinformation\, misuse in education\, and LLM training data contamination. One promising approach to address this issue is the watermark technique\, which embeds subtle statistical signals into LLM-generated text to enable reliable identification. In this work\, we enhance watermark detection using adaptive methods that assign higher weights to tokens with smaller next-token probabilities (NTPs)\, where NTPs quantify the likelihood of a token appearing based on its preceding context. We rigorously analyze the Type I and Type II error of the proposed method and demonstrate its superior detection power through numerical experiments. Due to the unavailability of true prompts and\, thus\, true NTPs\, we introduce a prompt estimation method that identifies the most likely prompt from an instruction set to estimate NTPs. Furthermore\, we develop a statistical framework for segmenting text into watermarked and non-watermarked substrings by framing it as a change point detection problem. Extensive experiments validate the proposed methods\, demonstrating their effectiveness in detection\, segmentation\, and robustness.\n\n\nhttps://zhangxiany-tamu.github.io/ UID:132383-21870850@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132383 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T200000 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:84303-21621525@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:20250303T063249 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:(requested) Assessing Organizational Culture through a DEI Lens DESCRIPTION:requestedadvertised by Rackham UID:133322-21872755@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250221T102047 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Assessing Organizational Culture Through a DEI Lens DESCRIPTION:How do you assess whether organizations are committed to diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI)?

The symposium will highlight the challenges Chicana historians have faced and continue to confront in the academy while we celebrate their outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the field of history\, with a particular focus on alumni and faculty from U-M. At this convening\, we will celebrate the official launch of the digital archive of The First 100: Chicanas Changing History\, which is maintained at the University of Michigan Library in Ann Arbor. The digital oral history archive is complemented by the project’s material artifacts\, which are housed at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington\, D.C.\n\nThe Chicanas Changing History symposium will include opening remarks by Dean Rosario Ceballo\, a keynote lecture by U-M alum Dr. Natalia Molina\, panel discussions\, public receptions\, an exhibition tour of La Raza Art and Media Collective\, 1975 – Today\, at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)\, and a ribbon-cutting to officially launch the digital archive at the U-M Library.\n\nThrough oral histories\, data collection\, exhibitions\, and public programs\, this project honors the contributions of the first 100 Chicanas to earn doctoral degrees in any field of history. It is also an intervention: interrogating the academy’s organizational culture that systematically excludes Chicanas is at the core of this initiative. The First 100: Chicanas Changing History was founded by Dr. Lorena Chambers\, who received her doctorate from the History Department at the University of Michigan.\n\nJoin us February 20-21\, 2025\, to learn about this archival project and how and why we need initiatives like this to create positive change.

The Potential Role of Marine-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal in Combatting Climate Change DESCRIPTION:Dr. Wil Burns\, Co-Director\, Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal\, American University & Associate Director\, Environmental Policy & Culture Program\, Northwestern University.\n\nIn the ensuing years after the entry into force of the Paris Agreement\, it has become increasingly obvious that achievement of its temperature objectives will require both aggressive emissions reduction initiatives and large-scale deployment of carbon dioxide removal/negative emissions technologies to either avoid passing critical climatic thresholds or address temperature “overshoot” scenarios. While much of the early research of carbon dioxide removal methods focused on terrestrial approaches\, there has been increasing attention to the potential role of the world’s oceans given both sustainability considerations and the fact that oceans already serve as a huge carbon sink\, with much additional potential for storing carbon. These options include ocean iron fertilization\, ocean alkalinization enhancement\, ocean upwelling/downwelling\, ocean biomass sinking.\n\nHowever\, research in this context\, as well as potential large-scale deployment of such options\, also poses potentially substantial risks to marine environments and key economic stakeholders. Moreover\, there is likely to be substantial public backlash to research absent the existence of a sound regulatory framework for risk assessment\, monitoring\, and public deliberation.\nThis presentation will include the potential risks and benefits posed by different ocean-based carbon dioxide removal options. It will also include a discussion of regulatory efforts to date by international treaty regimes\, and other potentially pertinent regimes\, including those with a marine regulatory focus\, as well as the potential role of the UNFCCC/Paris Agreement.

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.

Their efforts\, among the first scientific projects in Mexico\, yielded critical insights into social stratification\, ritual behavior\, and cultural development during the Late Formative Period (300-100 B.C.).\n\nExtensive archaeological survey projects in western Oaxaca have since placed Monte Negro in a regional context\, underscoring dramatic settlement pattern changes during this period. Investigations at the site since 2022 mark the first excavations in over 80 years and the first outside of the elite sector. This talk presents an overview of preliminary findings from the two most recent field seasons at Monte Negro.

The first quarter century of the self-determination era featured many great successes but mostly great frustrations often caused by federal reluctance to empower tribal nations. The second quarter century featured the rise of tribal political and economic power\, but many of the same frustrations\, this time more often caused by judicial decisions. As always\, Indigenous leaders look to both the past and the future in consequential decisions for their nations. This symposium brings together many of today's most influential Indigenous leaders to assess the last fifty years and imagine what the next quarter century brings. Panelists include Indigenous elected officials\, judges\, and lawyers at the federal\, state\, and Tribal levels.\n\nWashington Supreme Court Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis\, a citizen of the Pueblo of Laguna\, will deliver a keynote address on Saturday.\n\nPanel 1\, “The Past and Future of Indigenous Politics\,”\nFriday\, February 21 - Palmer Commons Forum Hall 1:30 – 3:00 PM\,\nThis panel will discuss the past and future of Indigenous people in politics and their service in elected or appointed political offices in the US state or federal government.\nSpeakers are:\n Bryan Newland is Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs and a citizen of the Bay Mills Indian Community.\nJeff Irwin is an elected member of the Michigan Senate and citizen of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.\n\nPanel 2\, “Lawyering Tribal Self-Determination\,”\nFriday\, February 21 - Palmer Commons Forum Hall 3:15 – 4:45 PM\,\nThis panel will address the underrepresentation of Indigenous people in law. Fifty years ago\, few Indigenous people were lawyers\, and almost no tribe was represented by Indigenous lawyers or law firms. Although there are many more Indigenous lawyers\, they are still terribly underrepresented in the field. This panel of Indigenous lawyers will discuss their professional journeys and the profession's future\nSpeakers are:\nWenona T. Singel is an Associate Professor of Law at Michigan State Law School and a citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians \nDoreen Nanibaa McPaul is In-house counsel for Tohono O’Odham Nation\, leader of the Tribal In-House Counsel Association\, and citizen of the Navajo Nation.\nMitchell Forbes is a Staff Attorney at the Native American Rights Fund and a citizen of the Native Village of Shishmaref\n\nPanel 3\, “Indigenous Judging in Tribal and State Courts\,”\nSaturday\, February 22 - Michigan Union Anderson ABCD 10:00 – 11:30 AM\nPanel 3 will discuss Indigenous presence on the court. In 1975\, few Indigenous people served as judges in federal\, state\, and tribal courts. Now\, many Indigenous judges serve tribal communities\, but only a few serve federal and state court systems. This panel will address the past and future of Indigenous judging.\nSpeakers are: \nGregory H. Bigler is a Tribal judge\, lawyer\, and citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation\nAllie Greenleaf Maldonado is a Judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals and citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians\n\nKeynote Address: \n\"Descendant Daughter\" by Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis.\nSaturday\, February 22 - Michigan Union Pendleton Room 12:30 – 1:45 PM\nJustice Raquel Montoya-Lewis is a Justice of the Washington Supreme Court\, a citizen of the Pueblo of Isleta\, and a descendant of the Pueblo of Laguna.\n\nPanel 4\, “International Indigenous Leadership”\nSaturday\, February 22 - Michigan Union Pendleton Room 2:00 – 3:30 PM\nwith Kyle Powys Whyte and Kristen Carpenter\,\nThis panel examines Indigenous participation in international spheres.

But too often\, creators fail to learn from their initial hits\, as their subsequent products lack the audience appeal of their initial hits. In this paper\, I develop theory on learning transfer in creative work\, focusing on how creators’ learning is shaped by the novelty (vs. typicality) of their initial hits in creative industries. I propose that creators who develop relatively novel initial hits are more likely to transfer deep learning that enhances the audience appeal of their subsequent creations\, helping them generate additional hits after their initial one. I tested the theory using two studies: an archival study of 1\,601 book authors and a pre-registered experiment. The archival study showed that authors with novel initial hits had better subsequent hit rates—a likely indicator of learning—than authors with more-typical initial hits. The experiment provided causal evidence that creators learn more deeply and effectively from novel than typical initial hits. Whereas prior research emphasizes that individuals learn best from multiple episodes of success\, failure\, or both over time\, this research suggests creators who achieve novel initial hits can and do learn from one episode of extreme success.

Many challenging optimization problems in machine learning and scientific computing follow this approach—optimizing a small block of parameters cyclically\, one at a time. Notable examples include Sinkhorn’s algorithm for computing optimal transport maps and Schrödinger bridges\, as well as alternating least squares and multiplicative updates for matrix and tensor factorization. In this talk\, we will explore the principles behind these methods (block majorization-minimization)\, why they often require less parameter tuning than first-order gradient-based approaches (via second-order analysis)\, and their recent extensions to Riemannian manifolds\, with new results in Wasserstein variational inference. \nThis talk is based on recent works with Yuchen Li (UW)\, Joowon Lee (UW)\, Laura Balzano (Michigan)\, Deanna Needell (UCLA)\, and Sumit Mukerjee (Columbia). \n\nContact: Laura Balzano UID:130188-21865575@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130188 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:Off Campus Location - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250127T090800 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T160000 SUMMARY:Meeting:DocDi DESCRIPTION:The DocDi Group is a collaborative forum\, open to both students and faculty\, who share an interest in the areas of Field Linguistics\, Fieldwork Methods\, Language Documentation\, and Language Description.

DESCRIPTION:Under the assumption of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking the low energy description of QCD is in terms of an effective theory of pions whose properties (couplings) should be derived from the high energy Lagrangian (QCD). In this talk I will describe recent work in collaboration with Yifei He where we propose a bootstrap method to compute pion scattering phase shifts and low energy effective action coefficients. The method looks for the most general S-matrix that matches at low energy the tree level amplitudes of the non-linear sigma model and at high energy\, QCD sum rules and form factors. This is a theoretical/numerical calculation that uses as only data the pion mass\, pion decay constant fpi and the QCD parameters Nc=3\, Nf=2\, mq and alpha_s. The results are in reasonable agreement with experiment. In particular\, we find the rho(770)\, f2(1270) and rho(1450) resonances. The interplay between the UV gauge theory and low energy pion physics is an example of a general situation where we know the microscopic theory as well as the effective theory of long wavelength fluctuations but we want to solve the strongly coupled dynamics at intermediate energies. The bootstrap builds a bridge between the low and high energy by determining the consistent S-matrix that matches both and provides\, in this case\, a new direction to understand the strongly coupled physics of gauge theories.

This links various \"exceptional objects\" appearing in classifications\, for example\, associating the regular icosahedron to the E8 diagram.

Fontaine--Kamnitzer--Kuperberg showed that their duals may be realized as subcomplexes of the affine building Delta(PGL_3). The result is a collection of CAT(0) triangulated surfaces related to the geometric Satake correspondence.\n\nRecently\, an SL(4) web basis was introduced by Gaetz--Pechenik--Pfannerer--Striker--S. which comes with \"moves\". We show the moves may be understood geometrically as forming \"pockets\"\, certain highly structured 3D simplicial subcomplexes of Delta(PGL_4). Special cases correspond to plane partitions\, alternating sign matrices\, tilings of the Aztec diamond\, and more. Joint with Christian Gaetz\, Jessica Striker\, and Haihan Wu.

This can be extended to higher-dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties through the concept of shifted symplectic structures in derived algebraic geometry. In this talk\, I will introduce a general operation of producing shifted symplectic stacks from given ones. Basic examples like cotangent bundles\, critical loci\, and Hamiltonian reduction can be understood as special cases of this operation. Moreover\, this unification enables us to provide an etale local structure theorem for shifted symplectic Artin stacks. I will briefly explain some applications to Donaldson-Thomas theory of Calabi-Yau 3-folds and 4-folds.

Drawing on detailed interviews with land market intermediaries\, operating across different scales\, who were instrumental in assembling agricultural land for a large apartment complex\, my talk shows how existing forms of social power and local knowledge are harnessed to create inter-scalar linkages that enable the creation and extraction of value in Indian real estate. It makes the case for understanding the economic and cultural work of intermediaries in animating land’s value chain as ‘articulation work’.\n \n Gidwani is an economic and labor geographer who works on agrarian and urban transformations. His co-edited book\, Chronicles of a Global City: Speculative Lives and Unsettled Futures in Bengaluru was recently published by University of Minnesota Press.\n \n Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

These problems are motivated by classical lattice counting questions and serve as natural analogues of well-studied problems concerning orbits of lattice subgroups. I will present results from my recent joint work\, with a particular focus on an ongoing collaboration with Nimish Shah that resolves a conjecture by U. Shapira and O. Sargent concerning orthogonal lattices of integral vectors on hyperboloids.

He specializes in language documentation and has worked especially closely with tribes in the southeastern U.S. (Muscogee\, Choctaw\, Seminole\, Coushatta). He recently served as president of SSILA and is now coeditor of the journal IJAL.\n\nTitle: Applicatives in the Languages of the Southeastern U.S.: Similarities and Paths of Divergence.\nAbstract: The indigenous languages of the southeastern U.S. generally make use of dative applicatives\, instrumental applicatives\, and occasionally locative applicatives. I survey features of these languages from a typological perspective before focusing on specific differences in the uses of instrumental applicatives in Choctaw and Muscogee. While Choctaw appears to be relatively conservative\, Muscogee has extended the instrumental to include semi-classificatory uses where an object has parts or is contained in another. These languages help us understand the sources of applicatives and their possible evolution.

His first instrument\, the clarinet\, gave way to the alto\, and then the tenor and soprano saxophones\; from there\, he expanded his musical universe and now fully embraces both jazz and Western classical music\, in addition to a burgeoning career as a composer. When asked a few years ago whether he finds classical music or jazz harder\, the saxophonist said\, “Classical is harder. Jazz is like a story that you personalize\, but classical is a story where you can’t use your own words. It’s like reading Shakespeare or Chaucer. You have to develop the characters to make them believable\, but the words aren’t yours\, and you’re not going to change [them].”\n\nPROGRAM\nClaude Debussy Rhapsodie\, L. 98\nSally Beamish “First Light” from Divertimenti for Two Soprano saxophones and Piano\nKelly-Marie Murphy Unstoppable Fear Machine\nAdditional works to be announced\n\nFeatured Artists:\nBranford Marsalis\, saxophones\nTimothy McAllister\, saxophones\nLiz Ames\, piano UID:121974-21847872@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121974 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ann Arbor,Anthropology,Art,art and design,artists,artists and curators,arts,chamber orchestra,Classical,classical music,concert,Culture,Energy,Faculty,Family,Humanities,In Person,music,performance,piano,Saxophone,Social,UMS,ums jazz series,university musical society,Well-being LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Rackham Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250122T104218 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T220000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back DESCRIPTION:Come join History of Art 265.001 - Arts and Cultures of Star Wars in watching Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back UID:131564-21868763@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/131564 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:art history,history of art LOCATION:Angell Hall - Aud B CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250218T121636 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:\"Scenes from the Life of a Martyr\" DESCRIPTION:Remembering the life of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr and commemorating the 45th anniversary of the completion of the full orchestra version of Undine Smith Moore's magnum opus\, the U-M SMTD Choirs and University Symphony Orchestra perform her powerful oratorio *Scenes from the Life of a Martyr* with Maurice Duruflé's iconic Requiem\, op. 9.\n\nPROGRAM\n*Scenes from the Life of a Martyr* by Undine Smith Moore\nRequiem\, op. 9 by Maurice Duruflé\n\nEugene Rogers\, conductor\n\nSOLOISTS\n\n*Duruflé*:\n\nGracie Ryan\, mezzo-soprano\n\nIsaiah Liggins\, baritone\n\n*Undine Smith Moore*:\n\nDaniel Washington\, narrator and baritone - https://smtd.umich.edu/profiles/daniel-washington\n\nGoitsemang Lehobye\, soprano - https://kerrytownconcerthouse.com/goitsemang-lehobye\n\nRehanna Thelwell\, mezzo-soprano - https://rehannathelwell.wixsite.com/mezzosoprano/bio-1\n\nErrin Duane Brooks\, tenor - https://www.errinduanebrooks.com UID:122658-21849504@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122658 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Free,Interdisciplinary,Music,Social Impact LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250219T121644 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:A Few Good Men DESCRIPTION:Set in 1986\, this compelling drama alternates between the US Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay\, Cuba\, and a courtroom in Washington\, DC\, examining a crime that challenges notions of honor\, duty\, and truth. PFC William Santiago\, a young Marine who is considered a “weak link” in his unit\, has died as a result of actions taken by two of his fellow marines. Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and PFC Louden Downey claim Santiago’s death was the accidental outcome of a routine hazing incident ordered by a superior officer. Their superior officers claim there was no such order and that the two men should be held accountable.\n\nDefending Dawson and Downey are three Navy attorneys who hold their own complicated (and sometimes conflicting) ideas of duty and honor: Daniel Kaffee\, the son of a renowned lawyer whose career casts a long shadow\; Sam Weinberg\, who will do his best to defend the accused in spite of his suspicion that they are bullies\; and Joanne Galloway\, a lieutenant commander with strong instincts and minimal courtroom experience who is dead set on uncovering the truth no matter what. This fast-paced\, high-stakes play raises timeless questions about the price of blind loyalty and the way ideals like honor and duty can be twisted until they are unrecognizable.\n\n\nWritten by Aaron Sorkin\nDirected by Geoff Packard\n\nRecommended Ages: 15+ UID:122777-21849631@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122777 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250206T122732 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T223000 SUMMARY:Tours:Astronomy Night DESCRIPTION:Experience History and Astronomy at the Judy & Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory!\n\n \n\nObservatory Tours - 1 hour guided tour of the Detroit Observatory\, including Historic Telescope Observing of the seasonal night sky.
