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.

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. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

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

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. During the 2024-25 academic year\, he is a Visiting Professor of Japanese politics at Columbia University.\n \n *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu.

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.

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.

This moduli space also happens to classify various structures of interest that one can consider on a surface (for ex. complex structures\, conformal structures\, Riemannian metrics\,..)\, and a geometric model for this classifying space is obtained as the quotient of the Teichmuller space by the mapping class group.\nIn joint work with Dan Petersen we described a model for the classifying space of the mapping class group of 3-dimensional handlebodies as an explicit open subspace of M_g.\nAfter introducing the objects of interest and motivating their study\, I will discuss some consequences of our construction and\, time permitting\, I will present some ideas of the proof that this space is indeed a classifying space.

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. This is a series of four events created for new humanities faculty at the University of Michigan.

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.

He will look back at his career\, which has spanned jazz and classical music\, Broadway and tv\, pop music collaborations\, and his deep involvement in his hometown of New Orleans.\n\nSpeaker bio:\n\nGrowing up in the rich environment of New Orleans as the oldest son of pianist and educator Ellis Marsalis\, Branford was drawn to music along with his younger siblings Wynton\, Delfeayo\, and Jason. 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.

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.

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. It is also where Massey grew up\, and the site of a new art and community space Massey is building that blends her craft with her drive for community kinship. \n\nTiff Massey’s art has been featured in solo and group shows around the US and internationally\, and has garnered multiple awards.

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.

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. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

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.

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

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

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

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:107870-21818046@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:20250214T103429 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250221T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bookworm #76 - Author Conversation with Laura Helton \"Scattered and Fugitive Things: How Black Collectors Created Archives and Remade History\" with Jason Young DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will discuss my recent book\, Scattered and Fugitive Things: How Black Collectors Created Archives and Remade History. 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 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. Fifty years ago\, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was barely a dream. It is a reality\; however\, the United States lags behind in its implementation. This panel will address the future of international law principles regarding Indigenous peoples in the U.S.\nSpeakers are:\nKyle Powys Whyte is George Willis Pack Professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability and University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor at the University of Michigan.

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. I will outline an explanation of the correspondence by relating the geometry of the minimal resolution of the quotient C^2/G to the representation theory of the finite subgroup G of SL(2\,C). I will also mention generalizations to higher dimensions and the setting of derived categories.

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.

This talk pries open the value chain of land assembly that underlies these transformations in a rapidly expanding peri-urban frontier of Bengaluru\, India. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:107870-21818047@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:20250222T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250222T200000 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:84303-21621526@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:20250222T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250222T170000 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).

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:122778-21849632@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122778 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250206T152229 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250222T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250222T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Evening of Scenes DESCRIPTION:Evening of Scenes is a two-hour show where several short\, comedic scenes are performed\, each written\, directed\, and acted by students.

The concert will start with four tender songs written by a young Dvořák courting his first love\, followed by the varyingly hopeful and dreadful intensity of Kenji Bunch's \"Concussion Theory\" – a work built around the misplaced theory of that time among certain towns that dynamite exploded in the atmosphere could spur on rainfall to end their crippling drought. Rounding out the program is a monumental Czech work\, a piano quintet by Dvořák's son-in-law and greatest protege\, Josef Suk. For this\, the Telegraph Quartet will welcome two stellar University of Michigan doctoral candidates\, pianist Jinzhao Xu and cellist Youngeun Lee\, competition winners in their own right.\n\nABOUT SMTD's QUARTET-IN-RESIDENCE\n\nThe TELEGRAPH QUARTET (Eric Chin and Joseph Maile\, violins\; Pei-Ling Lin\, viola\; Jeremiah Shaw\, cello) formed in 2013 with an equal passion for standard and contemporary chamber music repertoire. Described by the *San Francisco Chronicle* as “…an incredibly valuable addition to the cultural landscape” and “powerfully adept… with a combination of brilliance and subtlety\,” the Telegraph Quartet was awarded the prestigious 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition.

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

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

The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. 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:107870-21818048@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:20250223T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250223T200000 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:84303-21621527@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:20250414T011502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250223T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250223T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

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.

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:122779-21849633@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122779 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250223T181536 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250223T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250223T150000 SUMMARY:Other:Exhibition Tour — Jarod Lew: Strange You Never Knew with Curator Jennifer Friess DESCRIPTION:Join exhibition curator Jennifer Friess for a tour of Jarod Lew’s first solo museum exhibition\, \"Strange You Never Knew.\" Jarod Lew explores the limits and potential of knowing—knowing who you are\, knowing your family history\, and knowing your place in a community. \"Strange You Never Knew\" explores how photography can function as a repository of personal and communal histories. By weaving together connections between personal histories and broader social contexts\, Lew draws connections between the past and present\, examining how identity is shaped by both individual and collective memory\, while challenging viewers to reflect on the ongoing impact of racial discrimination and cultural stereotyping. \n \nFree and open to the public.

But these artifacts can give much insight into the lives of people in the ancient world. Francis Kelsey\, the museum’s namesake\, was forward-thinking in his approach to archaeology\, and as a result\, the Kelsey has wonderful collections of everyday items used by people from the ancient Mesopotamian\, Egyptian\, and Roman worlds—items their previous owners never would have expected to be protected behind glass. During this tour\, we will discuss how these items were used (and recycled) and how they were preserved for thousands of years. We will be looking at trash and treasure alike. After all\, it is in the eye of the beholder!\n\nThis event is free and open to all visitors.

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.

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

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

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

The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds. As part of Lenhart's American Women Concert Series\, this recital program celebrates the life\, legacy & music of Lesley Gore (1946-2015).\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.

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.

Advancements in exposure assessments and statistical tools have enabled a shift towards studying the combined health impact of multiple exposures. This presentation will describe the use of approximate Gaussian process regression and Bayesian additive regression trees (BART) to flexibly characterize exposure-response functions. These approaches aim to address the computational challenges associated with Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) and some parametric assumptions associated with quantile g-computation (qcomp). We apply these methods in several population-based epidemiologic studies to estimate health effects of ambient air pollution on emergency department visits and birth weight in Georgia\, as well as an extension to identify heterogeneous health effects of heat waves. We will also describe challenges and approaches in visualizing and summarizing these complex exposure-response surfaces. Finally\, we will discuss some practical and methodological issues related to the analysis of multiple environmental exposures.

Weakly interacting and uncharged\, they propagate undeterred and unabsorbed through the universe. In the last decade\, the IceCube experiment has brought us the discovery of a flux of high-energy\, TeV-scale neutrinos and through a multi-messenger lens — the combined observations of neutrinos and other messengers like photons — we are starting to see hints of energetic neutrino sources for the first time. At higher energies still\, beyond the PeV scale\, we can probe the most energetic sources of both neutrinos and cosmic rays\, but current neutrino experiments become too small to observe a sizable flux. Radio experiments can achieve the large exposures necessary by taking advantage of the coherent broadband radio emission resulting from ultra-high-energy (E>10^17 eV) neutrino interactions as well as the large volumes visible from high elevations. In this talk\, I will review results from current and future high-elevation radio experiments\, with a particular focus on Earth-skimming tau neutrinos and cosmic ray air showers as observed with balloon-borne and mountaintop experiments.

Some of the topics they will discuss include: writing as the means to access and widen those subjects one is unfamiliar with\, the spectrum of the diasporic experience as it relates to both language and time\, and what it means to discover and trust one’s writerly process.\n\nThere will be an audience Q&A after the in-conversation. Literati Bookstore will be on-site to facilitate a book signing following the conclusion of the event. We look forward to seeing you there!\n\nAbout the book:\n\nHow many times in life can we start over without losing ourselves?\n\nSwimming Back to Trout River traces the far-flung orbits of a family across two continents\, and explores the themes of music and migration in the aftermath of one of China’s most tumultuous eras in the twentieth century.\n\nIn the summer of 1986\, in a small Chinese village where she lives with her grandparents\, ten-year-old Junie receives a momentous letter from her parents\, who had left for America years ago: her father promises to return home and collect her by her twelfth birthday. But Junie’s growing determination to stay put in the idyllic countryside with her beloved grandparents threatens to derail her family’s shared future.\n\nJunie doesn’t know that her parents\, Momo and Cassia\, are newly estranged from one another in their adopted country. While Momo grapples anew with his deferred musical ambitions and dreams for Junie’s future in America\, Cassia finally begins to wrestle with a shocking act of brutality from years ago. For Momo to fulfill his promise\, he must make one last desperate attempt to reunite all three family members before Junie’s birthday—even if it means bringing painful family secrets to light.\n\nSwimming Back to Trout River is a “symphony of a novel” (BookPage) that reveals the hopes\, compromises\, and abiding ingenuity that make up the lives of immigrants. It “weaves a plot both surprising and inevitable\, with not a word to spare” (Booklist\, starred review).\n\nLinda Rui Feng\, Ph.D\, is both a practitioner and researcher of imaginative storytelling. At the University of Toronto\, her work in Chinese cultural history takes her to narratives from the ninth century and\, more recently\, to the history of scent and aromatics. She is the author of City of Marvel and Transformation: Chang’an and Narratives of Experience in Tang Dynasty China\, and the 2021 novel\, Swimming Back to Trout River. The last time she spent a significant chunk of time in Ann Arbor was during her undergrad years\, when she had a summer research internship in the Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering and lived in a co-op in North Campus. (She is still trying to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up.)\n\nMiranda Brown\, Ph.D\, is a cultural historian of China\, whose primary interests lie in recipes of all kinds\, with a special interest in culinary and medical recipes. Dr. Brown has published numerous articles on various aspects of Chinese medical\, culinary\, and cultural history in English and Chinese. Dr. Brown is also the author of The Politics of Mourning in Early China (2007) and\, with the late Conrad Schirokauer\, the co-author of A Brief History of Chinese Civilization (2012). Presently\, Dr. Brown is working on a nonfiction trade book\, to be published by St. Martin’s Press\, titled Dumpling Therapy.

I created large symmetric protein assemblies through the rigid helical fusion of smaller protein chains and later expanded this approach to design disordered system-wide protein networks with unique mechano-fluidic properties inside and outside of cells. Using these de novo protein complexes\, I developed a soluble agonist for Notch signaling\, a key pathway in cell development and immune function.\n\nDesigning a ‘cytokine-like’ soluble Notch agonist has been a long-standing challenge because Notch signaling typically requires direct cell-cell contact and mechanical pulling. After successfully designing this agonist\, I uncovered its mechanism of action and applied it in T cell development from hematopoietic stem cells in a bioreactor\, advancing cell-based therapies. The agonist also boosted T cell function in vivo by expanding antigen-specific T cells during vaccination and promoting antibody class switching\, demonstrating significant promise as an immunotherapy.\n\nIn my future lab\, I will use computational tools to design complex heteromeric protein assemblies rarely found in nature. I aim to explore their vast potential in controlling cellular signaling\, particularly in immune and stem cells\, to develop innovative therapies.

For example\, noncoding RNAs can catalyze biochemical reactions (ribozymes)\, and they can power cellular immortality (telomerase). In today's talk\, Prof. Cech will present recent work on a new and still controversial noncoding function of RNA: regulating epigenetic gene silencing by enzymes including PRC2 and DNMT1. More generally\, he will talk about the important perspective that a chemist brings to molecular biology.

While emotion AI is critiqued for associated scientific validity\, bias\, and surveillance concerns\, it continues to be patented\, developed\, and used without public debate\, resistance\, or regulation.\n\nIn this talk\, I highlight some of my research group's work focusing on the workplace to discuss: 1) how emotion AI technologies are conceived of by their inventors and what values are embedded in their design\, and 2) the perspectives of the humans who produce the data that make emotion AI possible\, and whose experiences are shaped by these technologies: data subjects. I argue that emotion AI is not just technical\, it is sociotechnical\, political\, and enacts/shifts power. I show how emotion AI could harm the very conditions its advocates promise it will improve (e.g.\, worker wellbeing\, work conditions)\, rendering it a problematic choice for addressing structural challenges workers face in the workplace. I conclude that even with technical reforms (e.g.\, reducing biases\, improving accuracy) many emotion AI-inflicted harms (e.g.\, emotional labor\, privacy harms) would persist.\n\nNazanin Andalibi is an assistant professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan and is an affiliate faculty member at the university’s Digital Studies Institute\; Center for Ethics\, Society\, and Computing\; and Center for Social Media Responsibility. As a social computing and human-computer interaction (HCI) scholar\, her research examines how marginality is experienced\, enacted\, facilitated\, or disrupted in and as mediated through sociotechnical systems such as artificial intelligence and social media. For example\, a central theme of her research examines the privacy\, ethical\, justice\, and policy implications of emotion AI technologies in high-stakes contexts including the workplace\, job interviews\, social media\, and health care.

They have natural analogues for finite Coxeter groups and enjoy remarkable enumerative properties\, many of which are only understood in a case-by-case fashion. In this talk\, we will see an elementary but uniform approach to enumerating the maximal chains in the non-crossing lattice for a general Coxeter group.

Originally from San Felipe\, TX (population 868)\, Cedric made his first appearance at the age of 19 at the Zydeco Jam at The Big Easy in Houston\, TX. Just two years later\, he moved to south Louisiana\, quickly immersing himself in French music and language. Cedric has performed French music in 17 countries and on 7 full-length albums with various groups\, including the Pine Leaf Boys\, Corey Ledet\, Les Amis Creole with Ed Poullard and J.B. Adams\, and with his own group\, Bijou Creole. Cedric’s music resurrects the ancient sounds of the French and Spanish contra dance and bourré alongside the spiritual rhythms of the Congo tribes of West Africa\, who were sold as slaves in the Caribbean and Louisiana by the French and Spanish. \n\nRev. Robert Jones\, Sr. has been a professional musician for more than forty years. The legendary blues man\, Willie Dixon encouraged him to bring his music into schools over 35 years ago\, and The National Blues Foundation recognized his work as a leading blues educator in 2007. An award-winning multi-instrumentalist\, he is accomplished on guitar\, harmonica\, mandolin\, banjo\, fiddle and ukulele. Robert is the former host of the award-winning radio programs “Blues from the Lowlands” and “Deep River” broadcast on Detroit Public Radio’s WDET-FM Detroit. He has taught music history courses at Wayne State University in Detroit\, and he serves as a member of the affiliate faculty at Boston’s Berklee School of Music.\n​\nMark Palms is mostly self-taught\; a musician who chased the heritage of traditional music after college and studied knee-to-knee with old-time\, bluegrass and Cajun musicians. Mark also managed to gather a number of field recordings along the way from Louisiana to West Africa\, feeding his appetite and appreciation for American Cajun & Zydeco music.

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.

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

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.

This practice has yielded very different conclusions about the extent of intergenerational persistence in the United States\, with estimates ranging from .64 for neighborhood mobility to as low as .32 for occupation. We utilize the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to develop latent variables we term “origin profile” and “destination profile” based on five indicators: occupation\, income\, education\, wealth\, and neighborhood socioeconomic status. We find that Black White disparities in mobility between origin and destination profiles are quite profound.\n\nLearn more and RSVP: https://inequality.umich.edu/janeria-easley/ UID:132772-21871802@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132772 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:African American,Discussion,Economics,Education,Inequality,Social Sciences,Sociology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 2030 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250225T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250225T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering DESCRIPTION:Welcome.

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:84303-21621528@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:20250225T112049 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250225T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250225T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:\"Brown Bag\" Seminar with Wei Jin\, PhD DESCRIPTION:Johns Hopkins UniversityDepartment of Applied Mathematics and StatisticsPostdoctoral Fellow\nTitle: Robust Bayesian Learning for Individualized Treatment Rules Under Unmeasured Confounding\nAbstract: Data-driven personalized decision-making has become increasingly important in many scientific fields. Most existing methods rely on the assumption of no unmeasured confounding to establish causal inferences before proceeding with decision-making for identifying the optimal individualized treatment rule (ITR). However\, this assumption is often violated in practice\, especially in observational studies. While techniques like instrumental variables or proxy variables can help address unmeasured confounding\, such additional data sources are not always available. Moreover\, robustly learning the optimal ITR from observational data is challenging when data are unbalanced\, where certain combinations of treatments and patient characteristics are underrepresented. In this talk\, I will introduce a novel Bayesian approach to robustly learn the optimal ITR for continuous treatments under unmeasured confounding. For causal identification\, we propose a Bayesian causal model that achieves unique identification under certain mild distributional assumptions\, without requiring additional data sources. For policy optimization\, we develop a practical algorithm that robustly learns the optimal ITR by identifying a conservative policy. Through simulations and an application to a large-scale kidney transplantation dataset\, we demonstrate the proposed method’s identifiability\, utility\, and robustness\, highlighting its value in advancing precision medicine.\nNOTE: Lunch will be provided after the seminar for all attendees.

Therefore\, they can serve as a recent analogue for modern biodiversity loss. In this talk\, I will present on my dissertation research which looked at the impacts of these extinctions on the biomass and energy use of 652 fossil assemblages from across the globe.\nBoth metrics were greatly reduced after the extinctions and the biogeographical distribution of energy-use patterns was fundamentally altered in ways that relate to the development of agriculture and animal domestications in the Holocene. Fascinating relationships between assemblage energy use and species richness are also explored. Overall\, this talk will give new insights into how humans have impacted mammal communities over the past 130\,000 years.

Focusing on personnel management practices\, we examine empirical patterns of personnel flow across the party and government sectors in a large Chinese bureaucracy. Our findings show that noticeable variations across administrative levels and functional areas. We account for these observed patterns in light of the interplay between the logic of political control and incentive provision\, mediated by other organizational mechanisms.\n \n Xueguang Zhou is a professor of sociology\, the Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in Economic Development\, a senior fellow at Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies\, and the faculty director of the Center for East Asian Studies\, Stanford University. His book *The Logic of Governance in China: An Organizational Approach* (Cambridge University Press\, 2022) summarizes his decade-long research on the institutional logic and practice of governance in contemporary China. Professor Zhou’s current research examines patterns of personnel flow in the Chinese bureaucracy and historical origins of the bureaucratic state in China.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at chinese.studies@umich.edu.

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.

Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk: My older brother David was found dead in his car in San Francisco in late July 2021. Unsure how to grieve for someone who I mostly knew as an abusive\, sexist\, homophobic\, drug addict and alcoholic\, I turned to old family photos to make sense of things. Among a cache of photos in which he is either conspicuously absent or appears moody\, dissociated\, or stoned\, I stumble upon two unexpected photos of David circa 1984. He is fourteen years old\, holding baby me on his hip\, and gleefully grinning ear to ear. He is donning a brunette wig and wearing a short\, sleeveless baby blue dress. Wherein the other photos in this family archive show a brooding teen marinating in a stupor of anger\, drugs\, and alcohol\, in these photos David is energetic\, lighthearted\, and radiating joy. It was not until after his death that I understood my brother’s life for what it was: an act. The toxically masculine persona I knew of him functioned as a defensive performance of heterosexuality and whiteness\, an elaborate act to distract from his queerness and his Arabness. *The Act *is a documentary film which takes David’s life and death as a plot device through which to examine the effects of anti-Arab racism\, sexism\, and homophobia on Arab Americans (queer and otherwise). \n\nUmayyah Cable is a 2024-25 Richard & Lillian Ives Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Assistant Professor of American Culture and Film\, Television\, & Media.

Given a discrete valuation ring (V\, t)\, the polynomial ring V[x1\, ... \, xn] is zn-graded by multidegree in the variables\, and up to multi-plication by a unit the homogeneous elements are of the form tm0x7{1'1... x\;\;in. We call these elements t-monomials. Likewise\, the Laurent polynomial ring L[xf1\, ... \, x\;1] over the frac- tion field L of V is a zn-graded V-algebra whose homogeneous elements are t-monomials\, up to a unit in V. We define t-Stanley-Reisner rings\, t-semigroup rings\, and t-toric face rings by replacing monomials with t-monomials in the definitions of Stanley-Reisner rings\, semigroup rings\, and toric face rings\, respectively.\n\nEvaluation at t induces an algebraically well-behaved bijection between t-monomials and monomials in one extra variable\; we exploit this bijection to prove results about our new ring classes by comparison to the original versions. This technique is particularly useful to study open questions which are known for equicharacteristic. As a case study\, we demonstrate that the Q-Sequence Conjecture of Hochster and Zhang (proven in equicharacteristic by Hochster and Huneke) holds for all three of these new ring classes.

For over 12\,000 years\, this region has supported diverse ecosystems and communities\, from Indigenous groups to early industries like cotton\, timber\, and fishing. The area now faces mounting challenges\, however: the impacts of climate and the subsequent loss of historical sites threaten the preservation of these communities’ stories. Ranking as one of Florida’s most under-resourced areas\, there is an urgent need to document and preserve the region’s heritage while fostering connections with its current residents.\n\nThis webinar will spotlight the \"People of the Apalachicola System\" project\, which combines archaeological research\, digital modeling\, and innovative community engagement to understand and protect the area’s cultural landscape within the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve. Participants will learn about the project’s approach\, including methods for engaging local voices through workshops and surveys\, as well as how these efforts address threats to heritage resources. The webinar will also share preliminary findings\, highlight effective strategies for fostering collaboration\, and explore how these lessons can guide future preservation and education initiatives in similar at-risk areas. Join the session to discover how heritage and community are coming together to protect the stories of Apalachicola’s past and shape its future!

But for many people in many places\, it didn’t feel like a “super year” for democracy. This roundtable takes stock of what we learned from a year when a whopping 4 billion people – half the world’s population\, from America to India to Mexico to South Africa – had the opportunity to vote. Are elections mostly fulfilling their democratic promise\, or increasingly ushering authoritarian politicians into power? And what beyond elections is most urgently needed to strengthen global democracy in the years to come?\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Understanding these phenomena experimentally requires both ideal material platforms that host them and advanced measurement techniques that can access their quantum degrees of freedom. The first part of my presentation focuses on correlated electronic phenomena in rhombohedral graphene multilayers\, demonstrating their potential as a powerful platform for studying macroscopic quantum phenomena. The second part of the talk shifts focus to superconducting quantum circuits and their interaction with mechanical systems.

How did literary texts from this time capture this evolving and complex olfactory world? How were the experiences of smell\, and curated scents in particular\, described\, classified and distinguished? This talk delves into the connoisseurial language associated with curated aromatics (香) in prose narratives from the ninth and tenth centuries\, to examine how such language improvised and adapted vocabulary from related senses in order to capture these airborne and elusive sensory experiences.

In our study of metal halide perovskite nanostructures\, we found some interesting fundamental changes in properties when the size is varied from >4 nm for perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) to <2 nm for perovskite magic sized clusters (PMSCs) and even slightly smaller ligand-assisted metal halide molecular clusters (MHMCs) with much stronger quantum confinement effect (QCE)\, as exemplified by cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) and methylammonium lead bromide (CH3NH3PbBr3). Besides the expected blue shift in absorption and emission with decreasing size due to QCE\, the photoluminescence quantum yield and excited state lifetime decrease generally with decreasing size\, attributed to increased surface defects as well as changes in the electronic band structure with size. In addition\, both the PMSCs and MHMCs are found to exhibit intrinsic chiral property based on circular dichroism (CD) spectra while the corresponding PQDs do not. Possible explanations for the origin of the chirality include asymmetry induced by liquid-liquid interface. Chiral nanoclusters are potentially useful for emerging technologies including spintronics and spin-optronics. Furthermore\, we compare carrier spin dynamics of these nanostructures determined using ultrafast laser techniques and found major effects of size\, phonon\, nuclear spin\, and surface in their lifetimes attributed to different spin relaxation mechanisms.

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

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

While both disciplines are extensively studied and practiced\, their convergence is often overlooked. With this body of work\, artist Trevor Balduck aim's to bridge that gap by presenting MSE not only as a technical pursuit but as a source of inspiration and beauty within the realm of artistic expression.\n\nThe eight pieces in this exhibit form a cohesive 2x4 grid measuring 4x8 feet\, guiding viewers through a chronological exploration of the processes involved in materials-focused research. Each work is an abstraction of the actions and methodologies found in a materials lab—transformed into visual representations that capture the elegance inherent in the science behind material properties and manipulation. These pieces illustrate the idea that MSE\, in its essence\, shares a parallel with art: both fields rely on experimentation\, transformation\, and discovery.\n\n\nIn constructing these works\, Trevor employed a range of mediums\, including acrylics\, oils\, metallic paints\, tapes\, and sprays\, which reflect the broad spectrum of materials that artists engage with in their practice. The varied use of materials serves as a direct parallel to the diversity of substances and techniques explored in MSE. Some of the works intentionally mimic specific processes\, such as the creation of grain orientation maps\, material cutting\, and oxidation\, translating technical procedures into visual forms that invite contemplation and interpretation.\n\nUltimately\, this exhibition aims to celebrate the beauty of both the scientific and artistic worlds\, demonstrating that\, at their core\, they are not so different—both are dedicated to understanding\, manipulating\, and giving new form to the materials of the world around us. Through this work\, Trevor hopes to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art inherent in science\, and vice versa\, showing that the boundaries between disciplines are not fixed\, but fluid and full of potential.

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.

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.

We were prompted with the task of tracking our social media usage for roughly six weeks. After reflecting on our social media logs\, each of us conceptualized an art piece and artist statement that was the result of our deep thinking about our social media usage. We are all so unique and consume media in different ways\, and this exhibition allows us to see the ways our peers feel connected or controlled by social media.\n\nThrough this exhibition\, we invite you to reflect on your own relationship with social media. After engaging with the artwork and considering these questions\, we hope you gain a deeper understanding of the ways social media shapes the lives of Gen-Z students—and its impact on your own daily life.

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 2\, participants will:\n- Learn about communication best practices between neurotypes.\n- Explore practical examples of how to foster neuroinclusive workplaces\, including workspace design\, meeting facilitation\, and supervision strategies.\n- Exchange advice with fellow participants and generate a plan to start applying neuroinclusive practices right away.\n- Obtain a reference guide to implementing best practices in your workplace.\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.

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:107870-21818050@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:20250226T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250226T170000 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:84303-21621529@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:20250226T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250226T170000 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).

In this talk\, I will explain which general tools the language of von Neumann algebras provides us with to address this question. In particular\, I will show that a sharp horizon structure emerges in the dual of N=4 SYM theory at finite 't Hooft coupling\, which allows to make sense of causality at nonzero string length in string theory. I will also elaborate on an intriguing interplay between the algebraic results we will encounter and the theory of chaos in classical and quantum dynamical systems.

The Great Retreat: How Political Parties Should Behave and Why They Don't DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/VGp22\n\nAs the crisis of democratic capitalism sweeps the globe\, The Great Retreat makes the controversial argument that what democracies require most are stronger political parties that serve as intermediaries between citizens and governments.\n \n Once a centralizing force of the democratic process\, political parties have eroded over the past fifty years. Parties now rank among the most unpopular institutions in society--less trusted than business\, the police\, and the media. Identification with parties has plummeted\, and even those who are loyal to a party report feeling that parties care more about special interests than about regular citizens. What does a \"good\" political party look like? Why do we urgently need them? And how do we get them?\n \n The Great Retreat explores the development of political parties as democracy expanded across the West in the nineteenth century. It focuses in particular on mass parties\, and the ways they served as intermediaries that fostered ties between citizens and governments. While parties have become professionalized and nationalized\, they have lost the robust organizational density that made them effective representatives. After the Cold War\, a neoliberal economic consensus\, changes to campaign finance\, and shifting party priorities weakened the party systems of Western democracies. As Didi Kuo argues\, this erosion of political parties has contributed to the recent crisis of democratic capitalism\, as weak parties have ceded governance to the private sector.\n \n For democracy to adapt to a new era of global capitalism\, Kuo makes the case that we need strong intermediaries like mass parties--socially embedded institutions with deep connections to communities and citizens. Parties are essential to long-term democratic stability and economic growth\, while the breakdown of party systems\, on the other hand\, has historically led to democratic collapse. As trust in political parties has plummeted\, The Great Retreat provides a powerful defense of political parties--for without parties\, democratic representation is impossible.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

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.

Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962). The new quantum mechanics\, to use a building metaphor\, was erected on the ruins of the old quantum theory\, brought down by an accumulation of anomalies. In our book Constructing Quantum Mechanics (2019/2023)\, Tony Duncan and I use a different building metaphor. As suggested by the subtitles of the two volumes of our book\, The Scaffold: 1900–1923 and The Arch: 1923–1927\, we see the architects of the new quantum mechanics using parts of the old quantum theory as scaffolds to build the arch of the new one. In this talk\, after sketching the underlying alternative to Kuhn's account of scientific revolutions in general\, I will give an overview\, as non technical as possible\, of the genesis of quantum mechanics in the period 1900–1927. (Drawings by
Laurent Taudin. Based on joint work with Anthony Duncan of University of Pittsburgh).

In the past few years\, a general theory of stability\, $\Theta$-stratifications\, and good moduli spaces for algebraic stacks has generalized many aspects of this moduli problem. However\, questions of boundedness do not yet have a general answer -- this tends to be one of the trickiest parts of applying the machinery. I will discuss a new approach to boundedness for a vast generalization of the moduli of vector bundles on a curve: moduli spaces of objects in a dg-category that are semistable with respect to a Bridgeland stability condition. This involves reformulating the notion of a Bridgeland stability condition in a way that is especially convenient for moduli theory.

But this does not need to happen in discrete time. This suggests defining a new object\, the specific relative entropy\, as a scaled limit of the relative entropy between the discretized laws of the martingales. This definition goes all the way back to Nina Gantert's PhD thesis\, and in recent time Hans Foellmer has rekindled the study of this object by for instance obtaining a novel transport-information inequality.\n\nIn this talk I will first discuss the existence of a closed formula for the specific relative entropy\, depending on the quadratic variation of the involved martingales. Next I will describe an application of this object to prediction markets. Concretely\, David Aldous asked in an open question to determine the 'most exciting game'\, i.e. the prediction market with the highest entropy. With M. Beiglbock we give a concise answer to this question. Finally\, if time permits\, I will give a glimpse to different extensions of this object\, e.g. to higher dimensions or when we replace the role of the relative entropy by a power of the Wasserstein distance\, as recently developed with X. Zhang and co-authors.

Spaces of positive representations are examples of such theories and have the additional property that they are closed\, so they form connected components. One important tool in studying these representations is the notion of a positive flag curve\, a special type of curve in the flag manifold G/B. Specializing to the Lie group Sp(4\,R)\, I will describe a discrete analog of positive curves and then explain how all such curves are obtained by lifting a simple closed curve in the 2-sphere with monotone curvature function. This is joint work with Ryan Kirk.

In many cases\, the strength of a participant in the tournament is given by a score. Perhaps\, the most striking mathematical result on the tournament is Moon’s theorem\, which provides a necessary and sufficient condition for a feasible score sequence via majorization. To give a probabilistic interpretation of Moon’s result\, Aldous and Kolesnik introduced the soccer model\, the existence of which allows a short proof of Moon’s theorem. However\, the existence proof of Aldous and Kolesnik is non-constructive\, leading to the question of a “canonical” construction of the soccer model. The purpose of this talk is to discuss explicit constructions of the soccer model with an additional stochastic ordering constraint\, which can be formulated by martingale transport. Two solutions are given: one is by solving an entropy optimization problem via Sinkhorn’s algorithm\, and the other relies on the idea of shadow couplings. It turns out that both constructions yield the property of strong stochastic transitivity. I will also discuss the nontransitive situations if time permits.

Ever since\, Hawaiians have made these instruments their own.\n\nFour-time Grammy-winner\, master slack key guitarist GEORGE KAHUMOKU JR.\, known as “Hawai‘i’s Renaissance Man”\, is am award winning vocalist\, storyteller\, songwriter & author\, teacher\, sculptor\, farmer\, and chef\, and honored with a Hawai‘i Academy of Recording Arts 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award and named to the Maui Nui Hall of Fame in 2024.\n\nSlack Key Guitarist\, Hawaiian Steel Guitarist\, vocalist\, songwriter\, and producer\, SONNY LIM developed his guitar & vocal styles performing with his famous Lim Family of the Big Island. He was also one of the early members of the renowned Makaha Sons of Ni‘ihau for whom he played lap steel guitar beginning at age 15. He performed on the first Grammy-winning CD in Hawaiian music\, and he was the first person to deliver a Grammy acceptance speech in his Native Hawaiian language.\n\n‘Ukulele virtuoso HERB OHTA JR’S natural talent\, knowledge\, technique\, and speed are unsurpassed. Herb’s versatility and ability to adapt to the changing times will captivate you\, the listener\, and transport you. While he enjoys all types of music\, Herb’s favorite songs to perform are ballads and all types of Hawaiian songs because they enhance the natural sound of the instrument. Herb’s style is distinct and recognizable as his own with a graceful “nahenahe” quality (gentle\, melodious\, emotionally evocative) that is very Hawaiian\, reflecting the inspirations of ‘ukulele greats that came before him.
