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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

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.

Using a combination of materials that are historically perceived as precious John's work distorts\, disrupts\, and re-contextualizes perceptions of materials and their values. His work is at once \, colorful \, playful \, layered and deeply self-reflective in its personal narrative.

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.

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:107870-21818057@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:20250110T170530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250306T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250306T163000 SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them.

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:84303-21621536@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:20241216T181511 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250306T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250306T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:2025 Undergraduate Juried Exhibition DESCRIPTION:The Stamps School’s annual Undergraduate Juried Exhibition is a showcase of outstanding work produced by Stamps undergraduate students taking place at Stamps Gallery from February 22 – March 8\, 2025.

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.

Joe’s songs are playful\, clever\, engaging\, joyful\, and always have something meaningful to say. The core of his message is an invitation to heal our relationships with our selves\, with each other\, and with the earth. Joe uses his music to bring people together and build community across lines of race\, class\, gender\, ethnicity\, religion\, age\, and nationality. Joe is Italian\, Irish\, and Native American (Cherokee) and was raised in Kalamazoo\, Michigan in a creative household by musical parents who encouraged him to find his own voice. Joe loves to inspire others to do the same and to water seeds of compassion\, joy\, wisdom\, and peace in our collective consciousness through the sharing of his music.\n\nKnown for his vibrant stage presence as live looping artist Ki5\, Kyler Wilkins has shared stages with Erykah Badu\, Reggie Watts\, and Absofacto. Now exploring his folk side\, Wilkins crafts intimate arrangements that echo the harmonic depth of The Head and the Heart and the soulful storytelling of Hozier. His emerging singer-songwriter collection features collaborative vocals with Aviva Match and Laura McAndrew\, drawing from the vocal traditions of The Civil Wars and Birdtalker while carving out his own artistic path.\n\nVoices is a series of artist-cultivated concerts at The Ark conceived and created by Ann Arbor musician Kyler Wilkins\, AKA vocal looping artist Ki5. The series seeks to expand the representation of Michigan BIPOC artists and audiences at The Ark. Each show\, intentional time will be taken to get to know each artist in the form of brief interviews and musical breaks to have them speak about their journey as musicians and performers with the hope that people in the audience are more connected to and inspired by those voices.\n\nPhoto credit Silver Thumb Photography UID:132361-21870799@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132361 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250305T120030 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250307T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250307T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Spring Break DESCRIPTION:Lets go rowing UID:132653-21871511@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132653 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Gainesville, GA CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250305T120017 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250307T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250307T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Spring Break 2025 DESCRIPTION:Spring Break Training Trip UID:130965-21867527@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130965 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Southern Yacht Club CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250304T115736 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250307T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250307T120000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Summer Session in Epidemiology DESCRIPTION:Join us for the longest-running summer program in epidemiology!

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.

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.

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.

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:84303-21621537@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:20241216T181511 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250307T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250307T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:2025 Undergraduate Juried Exhibition DESCRIPTION:The Stamps School’s annual Undergraduate Juried Exhibition is a showcase of outstanding work produced by Stamps undergraduate students taking place at Stamps Gallery from February 22 – March 8\, 2025.

On Friday\, March 7th\, we will meet for our next open Office Hours session to troubleshoot participant projects. Register andlearn more: https://nebigdatahub.org/drm-project/ The Data&\; Research Methods project is perfect for beginners who have never worked with a dataset before. This project will also be helpful for advanced data science students who have little experience working with data cleaning or survey building\, desk research\, or data visualizations. The focus of this project is the research process as a whole.It is the first day of your new job as the Junior Data Scientist for the Office of the Mayor in the fictional town of Data Lake\, West Dakota. The population of Data Lake (314\,159) has grown rapidly since 2020 as a number of remote workers have relocated to the mid-size city. Mayor “Tess Ellation” has tasked your office with a project – to learn more about the specific needsof the town’s new remote work population. She asks you to review data on remote workers provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and come back to her with at least two data-driven policy recommendations which will support these new Data Lake families (for example\, a policy recommendation might be: build new coworking spaces downtown). Your policy recommendations must be informed by data analysis or Mayor Ellation will not adopt them. Participants will clean a dataset\, learn about the ethics of data science research\, do some preliminary analysis\, and develop a working hypothesis about the impact of remote work policies. You'll build some simple data visualizations\, test your hypotheses\, write up a short conclusion\, and prepare a final report for Mayor Ellation. There are 9 Milestones in this project. There are several Tasks you need to complete within each Milestone. This project should take you no more than 30 hours to finish. Depending on your skill level\, it may take you less time.In this project\, you will learn using a combination of videos\, articles\, and external data work in spreadsheets. Our team has provided you with several external links and resources which will supplement your learning.Project participants who complete Milestones 1-9 in accordance with these instructions will receive a Certificate of Completion from the NSDC Project Team.  UID:133229-21872621@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133229 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250307T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250307T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

This 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.

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.

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.

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:107870-21818059@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:20250308T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250308T200000 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:84303-21621538@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:20250308T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250308T170000 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).

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.

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.

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

The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621539@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:20250309T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250309T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

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

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

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

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.

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.

And the Future of Europe and U.S.-European Relations DESCRIPTION:Zoom - register at https://myumi.ch/Q6yxV\n \n With tensions running high\, leading experts will discuss the peace talks and potential proposals\, the implications for the future of Ukraine and for Europe\, and how U.S.-Europe relations are being redefined in the process.\n \n Moderated by Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director\, Weiser Family Professor in European and Eurasian Studies\, and William H. Sewell Jr. Collegiate Professor of Sociology\, University of Michigan\n \n Experts:\n \n In the course of his forty-year Foreign Service career\, Ambassador Daniel Fried\n played a key role in designing and implementing American policy in Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union. As Special Assistant and NSC Senior Director for Presidents Clinton and Bush\, Ambassador to Poland (1997-2000)\, and Assistant Secretary of State for Europe (2005-2009)\, Ambassador Fried helped craft the policy of NATO enlargement to Central European nations and\, in parallel\, NATO-Russia relations\, thus advancing the goal of Europe whole\, free\, and at peace. Ambassador Fried helped lead the West’s response to Moscow’s aggression against Ukraine starting in 2014: as State Department Coordinator for Sanctions Policy\, he crafted U.S. sanctions against Russia\, the largest U.S. sanctions program to date\, and negotiated the imposition of similar sanctions by Europe\, Canada\, Japan\, and Australia. Ambassador Fried became one of the U.S. government’s foremost experts on Central and Eastern Europe and Russia. While a student\, he lived in Moscow\, majored in Soviet Studies and History at Cornell University (BA magna cum laude 1975) and received an MA from Columbia’s Russian Institute and School of International Affairs in 1977.\n \n In 2019\, Ambassador William B. Taylor served as chargé d’affaires at the U.S. embassy in Kyiv and as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine from 2006 to 2009. During the Arab Spring\, he oversaw U.S. assistance and support to Egypt\, Tunisia\, Libya\, and Syria. He served in Jerusalem as the U.S. government’s representative to the Mideast Quartet. He served in Kabul in 2002 and in Baghdad in 2003. In the 1990s\, Ambassador Taylor coordinated U.S. assistance to the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. He earlier served on the staff of Senator Bill Bradley. Ambassador Taylor is a graduate of West Point and Harvard’s Kennedy School and served as an infantry platoon leader and combat company commander in the U.S. Army in Vietnam and Germany.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

The discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider is\, on one hand\, the final missing piece of the SM and\, on the other\, a window into what lies beyond. Processes involving pairs of Higgs bosons are a sensitive probe of new physics and will ultimately allow the shape of the (in)famous Higgs potential to be directly explored experimentally. I will discuss the motivations and experimental challenges of searching for Di-Higgs production at the LHC. Emphasis will be placed on a new method -- using synthetic data samples -- to overcome one of the most important experimental limitations: systematic uncertainties in data-driven background predictions.

This talk begins with the observation that shock formation arises from the flow map reaching the boundary of the manifold of diffeomorphisms. We modify its geometry such that geodesics approach but never reach the boundary. The resulting information geometric regularization (IGR) has smooth solutions while avoiding the excessive dissipation of viscous regularizations\, accelerating and simplifying the simulation of flows with shocks. We prove the existence of global strong IGR solutions in the unidimensional pressureless case and illustrate its practical utility on multidimensional examples with complex shock interactions. \n \nThe modified geometry of the diffeomorphism manifold is the information geometry of the mass density. The last part of the talk explains how this observation motivates information geometric mechanics that views the solutions of continuum mechanical PDEs as parameters of probability distributions originating from statistical physics. Replacing the Euclidean geometry of individual particles with the information geometry of statistical families promises performant numerical methods that preserve the positivity of densities and energies and readily integrate with scientific machine learning.

We introduce consequences of the existence of a splitting (e.g. Positroid varieties are shown to be reduced using Frobenius splitting). We introduce an important class of near-splittings\, which naturally comes with a compatibly split closed subscheme. Finally\, we introduce Allen Knutson's criterion about Gröbner degeneration and use it to show splittings for a few examples.

The conjecture predicts that on the mod p reduction of a Shimura variety\, any prime-to-p Hecke orbit is dense in the central leaf containing it\, and was recently proved by a series of nice papers.\nHowever\, the behavior of Hecke correspondences induced by isogenies between abelian varieties in characteristic p and p-adically is significantly different from the behavior in characteristic zero and under the topology induced by Archimedean valuations. In this talk\, we will formulate a p-adic analog of the Hecke orbit conjecture and investigate the p-adic monodromy of p-adic Galois representations attached to points of Shimura varieties of Hodge type. We prove a density theorem for the locus of formal neighborhood associated to the mod p points of the Shimura variety whose monodromy is large and use it to deduce the non-where density of Hecke orbits under certain circumstances.

Andreas Blass's invited address has been postponed.\n\nTalk 0 (Dhruv): The Well-Foundedness of Cardinals and the Axiom of Choice\nThe question of whether the well-foundedness of cardinals implies the Axiom of Choice has been raised on many occasions\, and remains a major open problem. In the complete absence of Choice\, however\, there turn out to be various notions of well-foundedness. These notions will be discussed\, alongside the implications among them. Some interactions between these and other consequences of Choice will also be addressed. For example\, assuming the Partition Principle\, all these well-foundedness principles are provably equivalent. Furthermore\, one of these principles\, concerning surjections\, implies the Dual Cantor-Schröder-Bernstein theorem. We end this talk by listing some open problems in this field. This talk is based on joint work with Andreas Blass.\n\nTalk 1 (Ilir): A Gentle Walk through Function Clones\nIn this talk\, we introduce the notion of a function clone\, and then look at the lattice of all finite and countable-arity clones on 2 = {0\,1}: sets of functions from 2^n to 2\, n ≤ ω\, which are closed under composition and include all projections. We first discuss Post's Theorem\, where in 1941 he classified all finite clones over 2\, then discuss our work on classifying all countable Borel clones on 2.

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.

Using a combination of materials that are historically perceived as precious John's work distorts\, disrupts\, and re-contextualizes perceptions of materials and their values. His work is at once \, colorful \, playful \, layered and deeply self-reflective in its personal narrative.

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.

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:84303-21621540@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:20250311T112048 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250311T114500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250311T125000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Yenching Scholars Info Session DESCRIPTION:If you're interested in a fully-funded\, 2-year Master's program in China Studies at Peking University in Beijing\, this exclusive information session is for you!

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.

However\, within-species variation may prompt differential responses to these ecological factors\, helping populations persist through fluctuating environments. Thus\, treating a species as a single entity and using a single trait value to represent population responses cannot entirely capture the specific ecological drivers of population dynamics. Employing strain-level resolution is particularly impactful for studying cyanobacterial bloom dynamics due to the significant genetic diversity within the harmful cyanobacterium Microcystis\, which often dominates these blooms across the globe. Microcystis exhibits optimal growth in high-temperature waters\, explaining why they dominate blooms in the summer. Additionally\, it is aided by anthropogenic nutrient loading and increased resistance to predation relative to other phytoplankton species. However\, within these blooms\, there are spatial and temporal variations in strain composition. What drivers and traits underpin these patterns is not well understood\, yet can impact toxin production and likely both the rise and demise of these blooms. My research aims to parameterize strain-level responses to changing nutrient availability and predatory pressure in Microcystis and test whether these ecological drivers explain strain dynamics in natural contexts. In addition\, arguably the highest intraspecific variation within Microcystis exists in its CRISPR-Cas anti-viral defense system. Yet\, lab assays similar to those I performed for nutrient competition and predator defense are less available for studying virus-Microcystis interactions. Hence\, I will use the coevolutionary history documented in the CRIPSR-Cas system to investigate how and why Microcystis-virus pairs change through time and space. This will help explain how host-virus coevolution occurs when ecological factors constrain host populations. Ultimately\, this research will enhance our understanding of biotic interactions under the influence of nutrient inputs\, improving our capacity to predict and manage harmful cyanobacterial blooms.

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:\nSince the earliest implementation of noise-control regulations in 1920s New York City\, the governance of noise has exposed the gulf between the meaning of noise and the materiality of sound. An examination of Taiwan's regulation of low-frequency noise—sounds that are perceptible to the ear but undetectable by decibel meters—suggests that noise remains a contested object of governance through its classification within bureaucratic systems and the handling capacity of infrastructure. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Taiwan's Environmental Protection Administration and legislative records around the time of the 1980s postauthoritarian transition\, I analyze the dialogic encounters between hearing technologies\, an apprehensive state apparatus\, and embodied citizen hearers that amplify the lossy character of postauthoritarian governance. \n\nJennifer Hsieh is a 2024-25 Hunting Family Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Assistant Professor of Anthropology.

Our excitement for studying these systems stems from the fact that these two apparently unrelated processes are facilitated under almost identical conditions\, but to date the ligand features\, photocatalyst properties\, and subtle reaction condition variations that favor one pathway over the other are not yet understood. Additionally\, to expedite reaction optimization\, the group develops multivariate linear regression models correlating observed enantioselectivity to computed molecular descriptors.

The Mormon Colony Scheme in the late Ottoman Empire: Attempts to Alleviate the Abject Poverty facing Armenian Converts to Mormonism (1897-1928) DESCRIPTION:From the early 1880s till the end of the Ottoman Empire\, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church) sent dozens of missionaries to the Middle East in order to proselyte and establish the Mormon Church in the region as part of its Millenarian aspirations to prepare for the second coming of Jesus Christ through preaching its “Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ” and commence the gathering of Israel. During this almost 40-year period hundreds of Ottoman-Armenians converted to Mormonism with congregations in Aintab\, Aleppo\, Zara\, and Maraş. This presentation discusses the struggles faced by the Mormon Armenian community\, particularly in terms of providing for its basic necessities during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the community’s attempts to ameliorate these dire circumstances. Deeply impoverished due to awful economic circumstances within the broader Ottoman Empire\, but also exacerbated by persecution from the Ottoman government and local Armenians\, the LDS Armenian community and its Missionary leaders attempted various schemes\, such as carpet weaving\, textile manufacture\, agriculture\, and several abortive attempts to establish a “Mormon Colony” in the Holy Land. This presentation investigates these attempts at self-sufficiency and communalism within the context of growing Western Imperialism in the Middle East and how this intersected with the Millenarian aspirations of the Mormon Missionaries and their Protestant competitors.\n \n Bio:\n Kent Schull is an Associate Professor of Ottoman and Modern Middle East History and Director of both the Center for Middle East and North Africa Studies (CMENAS) and The Ottoman Demographic\, Social\, and Family History Research Group at Binghamton University\, SUNY. He is a twice Fulbright Scholar to Turkey. He is also a book series editor for Edinburgh Studies on the Ottoman Empire. His most recent book is *Missionary to the Middle East: The Journals of Joseph Wilford Booth*\, co-authored with James Toronto and published by Brigham Young University's Religious Studies Center in 2024. His research engages the history of the Ottoman Empire and the modern Middle East\, particularly criminal justice\, Missiology\, and Forced Migration in the MENA region.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact armenianstudies@umich.edu.

However\, current systems cannot be fully isolated from the environment\, which can introduce detrimental noise effects that destroy useful quantum features in these open quantum systems. Nevertheless\, in some circumstances it is possible to instead utilize the environment as a resource via symmetries. Although the implications of symmetries in Hamiltonian systems are well-understood\, in open quantum systems the situation is more complex. In this talk\, I will show how two classes of symmetry exist for open quantum systems\, “weak” and “strong”\, and I will demonstrate the utility of strong symmetries via two examples. First\, I will identify connections between steady state phase transitions and autonomous error correction\, a form of quantum error correction in which active measurement and feedback is no longer needed. Second\, I will show how strong symmetries allow for the preparation of highly-entangled collective states known as spin-squeezed states\, which can be experimentally realized in optical cavity systems for quantum-enhanced metrology.

In this talk\, we consider the promotion action on certain rectangular tableaux and explain its small\, predictable order by reinterpreting promotion as a rotation in disguise. We show how the search for this visual explanation of combinatorial dynamics led to the solution of an algebraic problem involving web bases and a generalization of the six-vertex model of statistical physics. We find that this framework includes several unexpected combinatorial objects of interest: alternating sign matrices\, plane partitions\, and their symmetry classes (joint with Ashleigh Adams). This talk is based primarily on joint work with Christian Gaetz\, Stephan Pfannerer\, Oliver Pechenik\, and Joshua P. Swanson.

Her film\, Gulmira’s Fairy Tales (2022)\, is the result of a collaborative process\, weaving together stories from female garment workers she met during her visits to Kyrgyzstan in 2021–22.Featuring a powerful performance by actress Gulmira Tursunbaeva as a TV host sharing feminist fairy tales\, the film intersperses storytelling with evocative scenes of dance and street performance in Bishkek. In contrast to the Soviet era’s regulated labor conditions\, today’s garment industry prioritizes efficiency and output over worker well-being\, with no limits on work hours. The film’s narratives draw from the personal experiences of seamstresses\, materials from the human rights organization Open Line\, and archival records from the Moscow Archive of Female Workers in the USSR.Following the screening\, Gluklya will join CREES Director Elizabeth King\, associate professor of health behavior &\; health equity and global public health\, and CREES Faculty Associate Irina Aristarkhova\, professor at the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design and the Digital Studies Institute\, for a discussion.Gluklya further explores these themes in her talk\, which takes place Wednesday\, March 12\, 2025 from noon to 1:20 pm in room 555 of Weiser Hall. Gluklya will share her approach of using imagination and play to explore the harsh realities and human side of labor experiences among female garment workers.Additionally\, her exhibition Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity (Dianne Beal\, Curator)will be on view on March 12\, 2025\, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM in room 547 of Weiser Hall.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\, an installation by Gluklya DESCRIPTION:Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender\, class\, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan\, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. \"Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity\" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film\, sculpture\, watercolors\, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women\, Gluklya explores issues of poverty\, isolation\, and exploitation among the garment workers.\n \n Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the \"Likbez\" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions\, like \"Ala Kachuu\" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by CREES alumna Dianne Beal (BA REES '79). See more of her work here: https://www.diannebeal.com/curatorial.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

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.

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.

However\, we have limited empirical data about how changes in parasite environmental spore abundance influence disease dynamics. This is concerning because many environmentally transmitted parasites (e.g.\, chronic wasting disease\, white-nose syndrome\, anthrax\, etc.) pose major threats to human\, livestock\, and wildlife health. Moreover\, factors such as resource availability may affect the infection probability of a parasite during an encounter with a host as well as impacts of that parasite on exposed or infected hosts. Chronic sublethal impacts of parasites on host traits related to gut function may have consequences that scale up to affect ecosystem processes\, such as primary productivity and biogeochemical cycling\, although these potential impacts of parasitism remain relatively unexplored. My dissertation combines a multi-faceted six-month field study with a series of laboratory experiments to address the following questions: How does parasite spore abundance in the environment change over time and space? What is the relationship between disease outbreaks and spore abundance in the environment? How does resource availability affect infection success and impacts of a microsporidian parasite on its dominant grazer host?\nIn my dissertation research\, I used the freshwater invertebrate host Daphnia dentifera and five of its naturally occurring environmentally transmitted parasites to answer these questions. During my six-month field study\, I quantified spore abundance of the five parasites at every meter of the water column in the deep basin of six lakes in southeastern Michigan every two weeks using a digital PCR assay that I designed. Field-collected spore abundance data revealed that environmental spore abundance changed by several orders of magnitude over time and space and that lake basin shape and the strength of seasonal thermal stratification affected the evenness of spore distributions\, altering host-parasite encounter rates. When examining the relationship between environmental spore concentration and disease outbreaks\, I found significant time lags between the peaks in environmental spore concentration and infection prevalence\, which may have been influenced by parasite traits.\nIn my laboratory experiments\, I found that a microsporidian parasite was more likely to infect hosts when resources were abundant and this parasite significantly reduced grazing rates of infected hosts (although this impact was present at different times depending on resource availability). Thus\, the parasite-induced reduction in grazing rate could have broad impacts on lake food webs since the host is a dominant grazer\; these results set the stage for further investigation of how and when effects of parasitism scale up to influence higher-order ecological phenomena.\nOverall\, my dissertation contains one of the most comprehensive field studies examining the dynamic relationship between disease outbreaks and spore abundance in the environment and identifies resource-dependent impacts of a parasite on host density and traits that may have broader ecological consequences.\n\nThis is a hybrid event. \nTo join via Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94783248528\nPasscode: daphnia UID:133181-21872548@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133181 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biological science,Biology,Dissertation,ecology,Ecology & Biology,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,eeb,Graduate,Graduate School,Graduate Students LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - West Conference Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250328T143700 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Leadership and Culture: Creating a Positive Work Environment DESCRIPTION:Course details and registration are available on the Organizational Learning website.

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:107870-21818062@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:20250303T063243 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T114500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:NE ScribeAmerica Virtual Information Session 3/12/2025 DESCRIPTION:Are you looking at a future career in healthcare and need clinical experience?  If so\, join us for our upcoming virtual info session to learn more about our medical scribe positions!   If you are unable to attend this session\, no worries we are offering several other sessions throughout the month!  Click on the RSVP link above to find a time that works with your schedule.   UID:133225-21872617@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133225 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T170000 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:84303-21621541@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:20250312T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T170000 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).

All QFTs have UV obstructions to this factorization\, requiring regularization. Gauge theories have additional\, global/IR obstructions. The treatment in the existing literature for entanglement entropy in gauge theories involves a by-hand path integral over non-dynamical superselection sectors\, labeled by edge modes. I will describe a new approach that treats the edge modes dynamically\, incorporating them into a single phase space\, and allows the entanglement to be written as a genuine thermal trace on a subregion. I will provide checks in all dimensions by comparing with recent results on sphere partition functions.

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.

Artist’s Talk on Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity DESCRIPTION:Gluklya (Natalya Pershina Yakimanskaya) will present her research on the exploitation of women working in the textile and fashion industries of Kyrgyzstan\, related to her exhibit on display in the International Institute’s gallery from March 11 to May 4.\n \n In 2020\, the artist was invited by Moscow’s Garage Museum of Contemporary Art to participate in the research laboratory Space 1520\, devoted to Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. Upon discovering that Kyrgyzstan is a major player in the textile industries that produce garments mainly for export to the Russian market\, Gluklya traveled to Bishkek. She was allowed to visit factories and meet with textile workers. The stories she heard\, and conditions she encountered\, profoundly changed her view of reality.\n \n Returning to Amsterdam\, the title of her monumental exhibition at Framer Framed\, \"To Those Who Have No Time To Play\,\" evolved from her visits to the home of the seamstress Rahat. Shocked by the living conditions she witnessed\, her well thought-out and researched questions were no longer relevant. Instead\, the artist engaged Rahat by asking how she played as a child.\n \n In this lecture\, Gluklya will share her approach of using imagination and play to explore the harsh realities and human side of labor experiences among female garment workers.\n \n Gluklya (Natalia Pershina-Yakimanskaya) is a pioneer of Russian feminist performance art\, and she lives and works in Amsterdam. She uses installation\, performance\, video\, watercolor\, text\, and research to develop a concept of “fragility” — a subject that should be interpreted not in the sense of “beauty\,” but as “invisible strength.” In her projects\, she addresses her characters’ personal stories\, analyzing them and revealing the conflict between political systems and one’s inner world.\n\n Her work process is playful\, and her studio often turns into a meeting place where people work together on conceptualizing clothes and making other useable artistic items. Gluklya’s oeuvre speaks of indignation and hope. With her projects she proposes poetic ways to resist injustice and to find empowerment.\n \n At the 56th Venice Biennale\, Gluklya presented \"Clothes in Demonstration against the False Election of Vladimir Putin\" (2011 – 2015) in the exhibition \"All the World’s Futures\,\" curated by Okwui Enwezor. The installation documents hope\, dreams\, and traumas of people who went into the streets in 2011-15 to demonstrate against the oppressive government. For her research for \"Two Natures of Colonialism: Russian and European/Lives and Work of Oppressed Women\,\" Gluklya visited Indonesia and Kyrgyzstan from 2019-2022. Those experiences continue to have a strong influence on her work.\n \n Illustration credit: Gluklya\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

Most of her research uses participatory approaches to improve the health and healthcare of marginalized populations\, including autistic adults\, people with other disabilities\, racial and ethnic minorities\, people with substance use disorders or chronic pain\, and trauma survivors.\n\nShe is the co-founder and co-director of the Academic Autism Spectrum Partnership in Research and Education (AASPIRE)\, an international academic-community partnership that uses community based participatory research to address the priorities of autistic adults. She has led a series of National Institute of Health (NIH)-funded AASPIRE studies on healthcare for autistic adults and has created the AASPIRE Healthcare Toolkit for use in primary care settings. She is currently leading a large NIH-funded AASPIRE R01 project to develop the AutPROM Toolbox\, a set of patient-reported outcome measures to evaluate services for autistic adults. She also is the founding Editor-in-Chief of a new peer-reviewed journal\, Autism in Adulthood and directs the Social Determinants of Health Initiative at Portland State University.\n\nThe EPIC Pathways Leadership Series is a speaker series hosted by the University of Michigan School of Nursing that welcomes leaders in the fields of nursing and healthcare to share their expertise and engage members of the UM community in critical thinking\, learning\, and dialogue about topics in health equity. Our goal is to expose UM faculty\, staff\, students\, and alumni to some of the most pressing and relevant topics in health equity and nursing. Attendees will be challenged to learn\, unlearn\, and expand upon their own views while also networking with leaders who have a demonstrated commitment to advancing equity in healthcare.\n\nPlease register on Sessions:\nhttps://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/85476 UID:127924-21859933@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127924 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ableism,Disability Justice,Health,health care,Health Disparities,Medicine,nursing,social justice LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T090721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T133000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Global South Gender & Sexuality Collective: Violent Intimacies: The Trans Everyday and the Making of an Urban World DESCRIPTION:In *Violent Intimacies*\, Aslı Zengin traces how trans people in Turkey creatively negotiate and resist everyday cisheteronormative violence. Drawing on the history and ethnography of the trans communal life in Istanbul\, Zengin develops an understanding of cisheteronormative violence that expands beyond sex\, gender and sexuality. She shows how cisheteronormativity forms a connective tissue among neoliberal governmentality\, biopolitical and necropolitical regimes\, nationalist religiosity\, and authoritarian management of social difference. As much as trans people are shaped by these processes\, they also transform them in intimate ways. Transness in Turkey provides an insightful site for developing new perspectives on statecraft\, securitization and surveillance\, family and kin-making\, urban geography\, and political life. Zengin offers the concept of violent intimacies to theorize this entangled world of the trans everyday where violence and intimacy are co-constitutive. Violent intimacies emerge from trans people’s everyday interactions with the police\, religious and medical institutions\, street life\, family and kinship\, and trans femicides and funerals. The dynamic of violent intimacies prompts new understandings of violence and intimacy and the world-making struggles of trans people in a Middle Eastern context.\n\nAsli Zengin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Women’s\, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. Her first book\, Intimacy of Power: Women Prostitutes\, Sex Work and Violence in Istanbul (Iktidarin Mahremiyeti: Istanbul’da Hayat Kadinlari\, Seks Isciligi ve Siddet)\, was published in Turkish. Her new book\, Violent Intimacies: The Trans Everyday and the Making of an Urban World\, was recently published by Duke University Press and won the 2024 Ruth Benedict Prize from the Association for Queer Anthropology. Dr. Zengin's research lies at the intersection of ethnography of sex/gender non-conforming lives and deaths\; medico-legal regimes of sex\, gender\, and sexuality\; critical studies of violence and sovereignty\; politics of mourning and grief\; and transnational feminist and LGBTQ movements in the Middle East\, with a special focus on Turkey.

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.

We know the challenges to attaining this vision are significant\, so collaboration is key. As a statistician working to inform policy and decision making\, I know it will take collaboration across disciplines to address society’s biggest challenges—e.g.\, pandemic recovery\, climate change\, precision medicine\, education reform\, or criminal justice. In an era of data ubiquity and rapid analysis\, statisticians and data scientists are positioned to play a central role across application areas. The gold standard for public policy is evidence-based decision making—deliberate and strategic application of real facts and research-supported principles that yields objective evidence. \n\nStatistical science is the foundation for evidence-based decision making. As an interdisciplinary science\, it has applications to every field imaginable\, making statisticians uniquely qualified to lend their expertise in multiple policy domains. Effectively informing policy requires becoming involved early in the design phase\; understanding the nature of the issue\; and knowing how to communicate\, educate\, and explain. In this talk\, I will provide multiple examples from health policy to highlight both valuable contributions made by statistical scientists and lessons learned – and how this model of collaboration is relevant across other fields and application areas. I will suggest areas of improvement based on lessons learned. And extrapolating from these successes\, I will suggest areas for future contributions in which the stakes are very high and involving statistics will be essential. \n\nMadhumita (Bonnie) Ghosh-Dastidar is head of the Statistics Group and a senior statistician and data scientist at RAND\, a nonprofit organization that improves policy and decision making through research and analysis. Her policy applications are focused on health and social justice. Specific examples include evaluation of neighborhood-level intervention to improve diet\, health\; cluster randomized trials to improve outcomes among HIV positive persons\; and measurement or surveillance in health disparity. Her statistical expertise includes design\, sampling\, measurement\, missing data\, evaluations\, and longitudinal/multilevel modeling. Ghosh-Dastidar's major studies include assessment of sexual assault and harassment in the U.S. military and the first Singapore mental health study to assess national prevalence. She is the 2024 President of the American Statistical Association (ASA)\, the largest professional organization for statisticians and data scientists. She is an elected fellow of the ASA. The ASA Committee on Women in Statistics recognized her work in statistics and data science by naming her \"Top 20 Woman in Statistics and Data Science\" (March 2019. Ghosh-Dastidar received her Ph.D. and M.A. in statistics from Penn State\, University Park\, PA\; she also holds a dual Bachelor's in mathematics and computer science from Albright College\, Reading\, PA.

Scaling up quantum systems to ever increasing sizes promises to open new discovery opportunities. Quantum technology has brought tens of thousands of atoms to minute-long coherence times for atomic clocks\, and it is now also knocking on the door of nuclear physics. The combination of ultrafast optics and precision metrology has built us new tools such as a vacuum ultraviolet frequency comb\, enabling the recent breakthrough of quantum-state-resolved laser spectroscopy of thorium-229 nuclear transition. This unification of precision metrology and nuclear physics sparks new ideas for testing fundamental physics and promises nuclear-based clock with billions of nuclear absorbers.

Haimson\, whose research into gender transition and technology has defined this area of study\, draws on transgender studies and his own in-depth interviews with more than 100 creators of technology—including apps\, games\, health resources\, extended reality systems\, and supplies designed to address challenges trans people face—to explain what trans technology is and to explore its present possibilities and limitations\, as well as its future prospects.\n\nHaimson surveys the landscape of trans technologies to reveal the design processes that brought these technologies to life\, and to show how trans people often must rely on community\, technology\, and the combination of the two to meet their basic needs and challenges. His work not only identifies the role of trans technology in caring for individuals within the trans community but also shows how trans technology creation empowers some trans people to create their own tools for navigating the world. Articulating which trans needs and challenges are currently being addressed by technology and which still need to be addressed\; describing how trans technology creators are accomplishing this work\; examining how privilege\, race\, and access to resources impact which trans technologies are built and who may be left out\; and highlighting new areas of innovation to be explored\, Trans Technologies opens the way to meaningful social change.\n\nAuthor bio:\nDr. Oliver Haimson is an assistant professor at University of Michigan School of Information and author of Trans Technologies (MIT Press\, 2025). He is a recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER award. Haimson conducts social computing research focused on envisioning and designing trans technologies. \n\nEvent sponsors:\nThis event is sponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information (UMSI)\, Digital Studies Institute (DSI)\, Institute for Research on Women & Gender (IRWG)\, Center for Ethics\, Society\, and Computing (ESC) and Spectrum Center.

National laboratories and universities have partnered to drive fusion research at the National Ignition Facility through a highly complex National Diagnostics roadmap. Los Alamos National Laboratory has played a crucial role through unique expertise in nuclear diagnostics (neutron and gamma imaging\, gamma reaction history measurements\, radio-chemical analyses). These diagnostics have taken tremendous development effort and expertise\, providing crucial information on fusion implosions (implosion asymmetries\, bang time\, contaminant mix). Now\, since the achievement of ignition and energy gain on the NIF\, the US fusion landscape is changing – private companies are emerging with the goal of realizing fusion energy. The DOE Fusion Energy Science program is encouraging private-public partnership to advance fusion energy for the US. While a fusion power plant will likely need a minimal suite of diagnostics\, diagnostics will be needed on the path to a pilot plant and diagnostic expertise will be needed to develop a minimally viable set for a plant. This talk explores how the long history of diagnostic expertise at LANL can enable fusion energy research while simultaneously benefitting from a drive for innovation and an energized workforce.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nVerena Geppert-Kleinrath is Deputy Group Leader of the P-1 Dynamic Imaging and Radiography group in Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Physics Division\, managing over 60 scientists\, engineers\, postdocs\, students\, technologists and technicians. She also pursues nuclear imaging for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and is excited about the prospect of fusion energy. She and her team have developed 3D neutron and gamma imaging for the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Her nuclear imaging diagnostics have delivered key performance metrics for high-yield ICF implosions on NIF – ultimately leading to the first successful ignition shots. She has authored over 60 publications in with over 2500 citations. For her successes in ICF diagnostics she has received the Department of Energy Secretary’s Honors Award three times and the American Physical Society’s John Dawson Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research. She serves as the vice-chair for the American Physical Society 4 Corners Section. She has been at LANL since 2012 when she started as a graduate student. Verena holds a PhD in Nuclear Physics from Vienna University of Technology and originally hails from Austria.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person and simulcast via Zoom: https://mipse.umich.edu/seminars_2425.php#winter2025 UID:130710-21866560@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130710 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Fusion,In Person,Michigan Engineering,Physics,Plasma,seminar,Talk LOCATION:Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building - 1003 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250227T225615 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Hodge symmetries of singular varieties DESCRIPTION:The Hodge diamond of a smooth projective complex variety exhibits fundamental symmetries\, arising from Poincaré duality and the purity of Hodge structures. In the case of a singular projective variety\, the complexity of the singularities is closely related to the symmetries of the analogous Hodge–Du Bois diamond. For example\, the failure of the first nontrivial Poincaré duality is reflected in the defect of factoriality. Based on joint work with Mihnea Popa\, I will discuss how local and global conditions on singularities influence the topology of algebraic varieties.

It is then natural to ask why\, in the small mesh size limit\, the directions of the lattice disappear. Physicists' answer to this question is partially given by the Universality hypothesis\, which roughly speaking states that critical properties of a physical system do not depend on the lattice or fine properties of short-range interactions but only depend on the spatial dimension and the symmetry of the possible spins. Justifying the reasoning behind the universality hypothesis mathematically seems virtually impossible and so other ideas are needed for a rigorous derivation of universality even in the simplest of setups. \nIn this talk I will explain some ideas behind the recent result which proves rotational invariance of the FK-percolation model. In doing so\, we will see how rotational invariance is related to universality among a certain one-dimensional family of planar lattices and how the latter can be proved using exact integrability of the six-vertex model using Bethe ansatz. \nBased on joint works with Hugo Duminil-Copin\, Karol Kozlowski\, Ioan Manolescu\, Mendes Oulamara\, and Tatiana Tikhonovskaia.

Peterson\, and Thad A. Polk\, Collegiate Professorship Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:This event will take place both in person and virtually.\n\nProfessor Kelly Askew\, the Niara Sudarkasa Collegiate Professor of Anthropology and Afroamerican & African Studies\n\nLecture Title: Art in Adversity: Swahili Poetry\, Philosophy & Political Action\n\nLecture Abstract: Poetry pervades the histories and politics of the East African countries of Tanzania and Kenya. Alternatively sung\, read in newspapers\, painted on buses\, rapped at festivals\, and more\, poetry is a longstanding mode of political action. Through a potent combination of verbal artistry\, social embeddedness and philosophical discourse\, Swahili poets articulate that which is and that which should be. Engaging the work and words of ordinary and renowned poet-philosophers from both countries\, we’ll explore the mirror-effects\, X-ray-effects and hammer-effects of their art. \n\nProfessor Derek R. Peterson\, the Ali Mazrui Collegiate Professor of History and African Studies\n\nLecture Title: A Popular History of Idi Amin’s Uganda\n\nLecture Abstract: Idi Amin\, who ruled Uganda between 1971 and 1979\, is one of the 20th century’s most menacing monsters. This lecture will bring the political logic of his government into view. The singular accomplishment of the Amin regime was this: to transform the boring\, technical work of administration into a thrilling battle for liberation. Amin’s regime invited ordinary Ugandans to see themselves as front-line soldiers in a war against cultural and racial outsiders. In the study of Idi Amin’s regime we gain insights into the infrastructure of popular demagoguery in our own time and place. \n\nProfessor Thad A. Polk\, the Samuel D. Epstein Collegiate Professor of Psychology\n\nLecture Title: The Aging Brain: Age-related Changes in Neurochemistry\, Neural Activity\, and Behavior\n\nLecture Abstract: As we age\, we sometimes become a little more forgetful and take a little longer to process information. But why? My lab has been investigating that question by recruiting a large sample of older and younger adults\, testing their perceptual\, motor\, and cognitive abilities\, and using MRI to scan their brains. In this talk\, I’ll present studies that have identified specific changes in both neurochemistry and in neural activity that accompany aging\, and that might contribute to age-related behavioral deficits.\n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join the webinar:\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95617163605\n\nPhone one-tap:\n+16469313860\,\,95617163605# US\n+13017158592\,\,95617163605# US (Washington DC)\n\nJoin via audio:\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\nWebinar ID: 956 1716 3605\nInternational numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/abkGdCwN99 UID:132080-21869931@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132080 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:african and african american studies,african and afroamerican studies,Anthropology,History,Psychology LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 10th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250309T212721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250312T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Parallelizing Neural Quantum States for Chemistry Applications DESCRIPTION:Neural networks have recently emerged as a powerful tool in quantum chemistry\, particularly for computing the ground state energy of large molecules.

We apply the methodology for studying long-time behaviors of interacting particle systems developed in the work of Delarue and Tse (arXiv:2104.14973). Our work shows that the weak error has order O(N−1) uniformly in time\, where N denotes the number of particles. The main strategy behind the proofs are the decomposition of the weak errors using the linearized Fokker-Planck equations and the exponential decay of their Sobolev norms. Consequently\, our result leads to the joint convergence of the empirical distribution of the CBO particle system to the Dirac-delta distribution at the global minimizer in population size and running time in Wasserstein-type metrics.\n\nJoint work Erhan Bayraktar and Ibrahim Ekren.

The second set will be a tribute to the great slide guitarist and blues singer Elmore James. \n\n“Midwest musicians all know the legendary guitarist George Bedard. He is the man. Where else am I going to hear authentic rockabilly\, much less pure blues these days as his latest album provides? Bedard’s music has been in my head for decades and I love it. George is a national treasure”. (Michael Erlewine\, Founder of the All-Music Guide)\n\n“Variety and craft have always been the hallmarks of Bedard’s style. While his music is rooted in what might now be called traditional rock and roll\, he’s a product of the Chicago blues players whom he heard in the clubs and at the Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz Festival. His artistry extends to many streams of twentieth-century music: country\, pop\, and a remarkable amount of jazz in which he artfully reduces ensemble arrangements to the dimensions of a small rock band. He’s a guitar polymath”. (James M. Manheim\, The Ann Arbor Observer)\n\nA founding member of the Silvertones\, in 1984 he formed the first version of the Kingpins. Their debut CD won CD Reviews “Best Blues CD of the Year” award. He has closed the Ann Arbor Summer Festival for more than 25 years and headlined festivals and clubs from St. Louis to Barcelona. In 2014 he and the Kingpins toured Honduras as part of the U. S.

As the house guitarist on the Cincinnati Blues Festival’s Arches stage\, he has accompanied dozens of blues\, jazz\, and boogie pianists from all over the world.
