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.

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).

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

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

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

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

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:84303-21621542@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:20250303T063244 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250313T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250313T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Data & Research Methods Project: Office Hours DESCRIPTION:All students are invited to join this free and open data science research project which can be used to supplement your digital research portfolio! On Thursday\, March 13th\, we will meet for our next open Office Hours session to troubleshoot participant projects. Register and learn more: https://nebigdatahub.org/drm-project/ The Data &\; Research Methods project is perfect for beginners who have never worked with a dataset before. This project will also be helpful for advanced data science students who have little experience working with data cleaning or survey building\, desk research\, or data visualizations. The focus of this project is the research process as a whole.It is the first day of your new job as the Junior Data Scientist 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” hastasked your office with a project – to learn more about the specific needs of the town’s new remote work population. She asks you to review data on remote workers provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and come back to her with at least two data-driven policy recommendations which will support these new Data Lake families (for example\, a policy recommendationmight 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 workinghypothesis 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.

In particular\, quantum gases of molecules constitute a new experimental platform for precise control of molecular interactions and collective dynamics. External electric fields are used to tune elastic collision\, suppress reactive loss\, produce sharp interaction resonance\, and control evaporative cooling. Confining molecules in optical traps with tunable spatial geometries allows realization of stereo chemistry and tunable many-body spins for quantum magnetism. Hamiltonian engineering is paving the way for production of entangled molecules that will benefit precision measurement. \n\nBio:\nJun Ye is a Fellow of JILA\, a Fellow of NIST\, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on the development of new tools for light-matter interactions and their scientific applications for precision measurement\, quantum science\, and frequency metrology. He is known for developing highly precise and accurate atomic clocks\, first realization of quantum gas of polar molecules\, and pioneering work on frequency combs and spectroscopy. He is a highly cited researcher for every year since 2014.

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 paper examines how metropolitan fragmentation impacts the provision of commuting infrastructure and the spatial distribution of economic activity. I develop a quantitative spatial model in which municipalities compete for residents and workers by investing in commuting infrastructure to maximize net land value within their jurisdictions. In equilibrium\, relative to a metropolitan planner\, municipalities underinvest in areas near their boundaries and overinvest in areas away from the boundary. Central municipalities tend to underinvest more\, as higher commuting costs encourage households to move closer to where they work\, thereby increasing land values in central areas. Decentralized investment results in higher cross-jurisdiction commuting costs\, more dispersed employment\, and more polycentric patterns of economic activity. I estimate the model using data from Santiago\, Chile\, and find substantial gains from centralizing investment decisions. Centralization allocates infrastructure more efficiently and increases aggregate expenditure on infrastructure.

Despite initiatives aimed at addressing these issues\, many students face significant mental health challenges that impact their academic performance and overall well-being. This study explores the intersection of mental health and engineering education\, specifically focusing on the role that professors and peers play in influencing the mental health of undergraduate engineering students. This seminar will present on qualitative interview data collected through a single-institution study. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify how professors and peers influence undergraduate engineering students’ self-reported mental health.\n\nBiography: Nosakhare Idiaghe is a third-year doctoral candidate of Engineering Education Research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln\, where he is also pursuing a master’s in engineering management. His research focuses on bridging the gap between academic training and workplace expectations\, exploring how students’ educational experiences shape their transition and experiences in professional engineering roles. His work spans multiple areas\, including engineering students’ well-being\, undergraduate research experiences\, and the intercultural competence development of graduate students. Before moving to the United States\, he earned a master’s degree in industrial engineering and a bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering from the University of Benin in Nigeria. Beyond research\, Nosa is deeply committed to leadership and service. He currently serves as the President of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) at UNL\, Vice President of the International Students Fellowship\, and Co-Chair of the Quality-of-Life Committee for the Graduate Student Assembly.

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.

Recent research on this topic has shed light on the unique impact of diverse environmental types (e.g.\, social\, natural\, and built environments) that we encounter on a daily basis. Less understood are the implications of multiple intersecting environments as well as the potential of these occurrences to address pressing societal challenges. This presentation will review my recent work funded by NIH\, NSF\, and the Erb Family Foundation focused on the intersection of multiple environmental contexts. This includes research on social networks in lower income senior housing communities and projects examining links between social engagement and green infrastructure (e.g.\, rain gardens) designed to address urban flooding.

The first part studies random matrices from the Laguerre beta ensembles. We prove that when a Laguerre matrix is shifted by a scalar multiple of the identity—where the scalar is near the edge of the Mar\v{c}enko–Pastur law—the logarithm of its determinant exhibits Gaussian fluctuations. Additionally\, we establish that this result extends to the Laguerre Orthogonal and Laguerre Unitary Ensembles under a relaxed assumption on the shift. This edge central limit theorem has applications in statistical testing of critically spiked sample covariance matrices\, and in analyzing free energy fluctuations of bipartite spherical spin glasses at critical temperature. The second part examines the free energy fluctuations of the bipartite spherical Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model\, an extension of the spherical Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model by incorporating heterogeneity. Previous work by Baik and Lee shows that at non-critical temperatures\, the free energy exhibits Gaussian fluctuations at high temperatures and Tracy–Widom fluctuations at low temperatures. We focus on the critical temperature case and demonstrate that within a vanishing window around criticality\, the fluctuations are given by the sum of independent Gaussian and Tracy–Widom random variables. A key component of our analysis is the central limit theorem for Laguerre matrices established in the first part of the thesis.

Although ubiquitous in classical active systems\, implementing such non-reciprocal interactions in solid-state systems has remained challenging\, as the known quantum schemes require precise control over the system on a single-site level. Here\, we propose a novel dissipation-engineering protocol to induce non-reciprocal interactions in solid-state platforms with light\, which we expect to be achievable with state-of the-art experimental techniques. Focusing on magnetic metals for concreteness\, we show microscopically that a light injection that introduces the decay channel to a virtually excited state gives rise to non-reciprocal interactions between localized spins. One can even realize a situation where spin A tries to align with spin B but the B tries the opposite\, resulting in chase-and-runaway dynamics. Applying our scheme to layered ferromagnets\, we show that a non-reciprocal phase transition from a static to a many-body time-dependent chiral phase emerges. Our work paves the way to bring solid-state systems to the realm of non-reciprocal science\, providing yet another possibility to control quantum matter with light.

Gaussian elimination is one of the most fundamental and well-known techniques for solving linear systems\, by factoring a matrix into the product of a lower and upper triangular matrix. Surprisingly\, a number of questions regarding the numerical stability of this algorithm remains. In this talk\, we will study the history of this subject\, a story that spans over seventy-five years\, and discuss some recent progress.\n\nBio: John Urschel is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at MIT\, and a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows. Previously\, he was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from MIT in 2021 under the supervision of Michel Goemans. His main research interests include matrix analysis\, numerical linear algebra\, and spectral graph theory. He recently received the SIAM DiPrima Prize for the most outstanding thesis in applied mathematics\, and the SIAM Early Career Prize in Linear Algebra.\n\nThis event is part of our 899 seminar series.

To address this\, our focus is on developing models that elucidate the mechanisms initiating and driving carcinogenesis\, initially concentrating on lung carcinoma. My laboratory has developed lung cell culture models using directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). These models have helped uncover how specific genetic alterations promote carcinogenesis in specialized human cell lineages and identified potential factors contributing to lung cell malignancy. Another significant aspect of our research investigates the impact of microbiomes on cancer development\, particularly the understudied role of fungal communities (mycobiomes). We have crafted a novel 3D organotypic lung model (iLung) from differentiated hPSCs that more accurately mimics real-life fungal exposure through the use of live fungal spores. Employing advanced technologies such as mutational signature identification\, single-cell transcriptomics\, and quantum mechanics calculations\, we have demonstrated that mycobiomes can drive cancer development through specific mycotoxin-induced mutations.\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94337625486 UID:133418-21873082@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133418 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Bicentennial,Biointerfaces,Biology,biomedical,biomedical engineering,Bioninterfaces,Biosciences,Biotechnology,bme,engineer,engineering,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,seminar LOCATION:Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL) - 1130 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250226T135942 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250313T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250313T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Mending Thursdays DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand!

We prove that they scatter\, and that the wave operators mapping the initial data to the scattering states are 1-1\, onto and continuous in a suitable topology.\n\nThis is the first global existence result for strong solutions for KWE. This contrasts with prior global existence results for mild solutions\, which satisfy a transported version of the equation but do not solve the equation itself. \n\nOur proof is carried out entirely in physical space and combines dispersive estimates for the free transport with new trilinear bounds for the gain and loss operators of the KWE on weighted Lebesgue spaces. The main difficulty is the fast growth of the hard-sphere kernel. Our fundamental tool to handle it is a novel collisional averaging estimate.\n\nWe also show that the nonlinear evolution preserves positivity forward in time. For this\, we use the Kaniel-Shinbrot iteration scheme\, properly initialized to ensure successive approximations are dispersive.

House mice (Mus musculus domesticus) have recently been introduced into new environments where they have adapted through changes in morphology\, physiology\, and behavior. We collected wild house mice across North and South America\, from 55° S latitude to 54° N latitude\, and sequenced their genomes. We also established inbred strains of mice from diverse environments\, allowing us to study traits in a controlled laboratory environment and to conduct crosses between strains differing in traits of interest. House mice in the Americas conform to Bergmann’s rule (larger body size farther from the equator) and Allen’s rule (shorter extremities farther from the equator). These differences are genetically based\, although differences in the length of extremities also show considerable phenotypic plasticity when mice are reared at different temperatures. Through a combination of genome scans for selection\, studies of gene expression in the wild and in the lab\, association studies in natural populations\, and genetic crosses in the lab\, we have begun to identify genes and genomic patterns associated with adaptation to new environments.

Among her earlier books\, the new black (Wesleyan UP\, 2011) received the 2012 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award\; semiautomatic (Wesleyan UP\, 2017) received the same award in 2018\, and was also a finalist that year for the LA Times Book Review Prize and the Pulitzer Prize.\n\nShockley's intellectual and creative work takes a variety of forms. Her current research on \"Black Graphics\" concerns the strategies Black poets and other artists (literary and visual) have employed during the recent period characterized by the dominance of \"colorblindness\" ideology. Articles related to this project have appeared in New Literary History\, The Black Scholar\, and Contemporary Literature. Other scholarly and teaching interests include 20th and 21st century African American and African Diaspora literatures\, Black feminist thought\, and contemporary poetry and poetics in the US and beyond. She has placed numerous essays on these subjects in academic journals\, edited volumes\, and broader audience publications\, such as How We Do It: Black Writers on Craft\, Practice\, and Skill\; Furious Flower: Seeding the Future\; The New Emily Dickinson Studies\; Harriet\; The Fate of Difficulty in the Poetry of Our Time\; LARB\; Literary Hub\; The Cambridge Companion to Modern American Poetry\; Jacket2\; and Boston Review\, among others. Since 2021\, she has served as Editor for Poetry (scholarship) at Contemporary Literature. Her poetry has appeared nationally -- in publications like Kenyon Review\, Obsidian\, Poem-a-Day\, The 1619 Project\, The New Yorker\, The New Republic\, Adi\, Lana Turner\, Ploughshares\, The Best American Poetry\, The Paris Review\, Torch Literary Arts\, and Poetry Daily -- and internationally\, with pieces translated into French\, Spanish\, Polish\, and Slovenian. Honors for the body of her poetry include the Poetry Society of America's Shelley Memorial Award\, the Lannan Literary Award for Poetry\, the Stephen Henderson Award\, and the Holmes National Poetry Prize.\n\nFrom her teaching philosophy:\n\n\"In my classroom\, I make every effort to show students clearly how passionate I am about the texts and ideas I'm teaching—how much a poem\, a novel\, or a literary movement can mean to me and many others. They appreciate this\, I think\, in part because it gives them permission to feel passionate about their own relationships to texts\, in turn. When that sense of the power of literature is circulating in the room\, it makes it much easier for me to make palpable for them the historical and cultural significance of the works\, on one hand\, or to convince them of the importance of a line break or an element of plot\, on the other. What I appreciate most is that this becomes a feedback loop\, wherein my own experience of texts that have become too familiar from frequent teaching is reenergized by the enthusiasms (or engaged resistance) my students express.\" UID:132848-21871956@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132848 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:african american,african and african american studies,african and afroamerican studies,African Diaspora,Afroamerican,Black America,Blackness,Feminism,Literature,Poetry,Writing LOCATION:Michigan League - Hussey CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250127T123949 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250313T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250313T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Last Puritan: Norman Holmes Pearson in the American Century DESCRIPTION:Norman Holmes Pearson’s life embodied the Cold War alliance among US artists\, scholars\, and the national-security state that coalesced after World War II. As a Yale professor and editor\, he helped create the field of American Studies and shaped the public’s understanding of literary modernism—significantly\, the work of women poets such as Hilda Doolittle and Gertrude Stein. At the same time\, as a high-ranking spy\, recruiter\, and cultural diplomat\, he connected the academy\, the State Department\, and even the CIA. For Pearson\, this seemingly unlikely combination of the avant-garde and the patriotic was entirely in keeping with his “Vital Center” understanding of American civilization. In this talk\, Greg Barnhisel will give an overview of Pearson’s unique career as scholar\, literary fixer\, secret agent\, and cultural diplomat\, focusing on Pearson’s hidden role in shaping a new understanding of America in the 1950s.\nPlease RSVP here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScyxyKFZL1GKSq7htrxhPjzfeu4h7ZbARC_T3FvLxqSOsolrw/viewform UID:131923-21869545@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/131923 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English Language & Literature,Free,History,Interdisciplinary,Rackham LOCATION:Angell Hall - 3222 - Robert Hayden Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250310T195701 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250313T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250313T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:World Languages Teacher Certification Information Session DESCRIPTION:Thank you for your interest in the World Languages Information Session with Marsal Education.

After enduring nearly 42 years wrongfully imprisoned at Angola State Penitentiary\, Tyler uses his textile-based practice to highlight issues of mass incarceration\, instilling messages of hope and resilience.\n\nTyler first learned to quilt to support the Angola Prison Hospice program\, where he was a volunteer. Notably\, Tyler was the President of the Angola Prison drama program for almost three decades\, using the position to promote a culture of community\, civic responsibility and introspection.\nMaterial\, symbolism\, and quilting traditions are central to Tyler’s work. Since his release in 2016\, Tyler’s applique quilts feature motifs of transformation\, self-portraits and intricate allegorical landscapes\, depicting memories of his time incarcerated\, including the legendary Angola Rodeo and his time as president of the drama program. Through his work\, Tyler honors the lives of those depicted and creates a dialogue around the lasting impact of mass incarceration and its roots in slavery\, with the hope of inspiring meaningful change.\n\nGary Tyler is a 2019 and 2020 Art Matters Awardee\, and in 2024 he received an honorary Doctorate Degree in Art and Design from the Massachusetts College of Art &\; Design. Tyler was awarded the 2024 Right of Return Fellowship by the Center for Art and Advocacy\, as well as the Frieze Los Angeles Impact Prize\, which recognizes an artist who has made a significant impact on society with their work. His work can be seen at the Historical New Orleans Collective Museum in New Orleans\, and is in the collections of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington\, D.C. as well as the City of Santa Monica’s Art Bank.\nPresented in partnership with the Library Street Collective\, with support from the Prison Creative Arts Project. The Annual Exhibition of Artists in Michigan Prisons is the largest curated exhibition of art by incarcerated artists in the world and features art from every prison in the state of Michigan. The 29th Annual Exhibition will run from March 18 through April 1 in the Duderstadt Gallery on the University of Michigan campus.

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.

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).

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.

DESCRIPTION:Altermagnetic materials are characterized by collinear magnetic order with a vanishing net magnetic moment\, but nevertheless have a spin-splitting in their non-relativistic electronic band structure. From ab initio calculations we have identified around 60 altermagnetic materials. From a theoretical point of view several physical properties that render altermagnets different from canonical antiferro-\, ferro- and ferri-magnets will be discussed. These include certain spin and heat transport features and piezomagnetic responses. By symmetry in principle also an anomalous Hall effect (AHE) may be allowed and we introduce an altermagnetic model in which the emergence of an AHE is driven by interactions. Quantum Monte Carlo simulations show that the system undergoes a finite temperature phase transition governed by a primary antiferromagnetic order parameter accompanied by a secondary altermagnetic one. The emergence of both orders turns the metallic state of the system\, away from half-filling\, into an altermagnet with zero net moment but finite AHE.\n\nReferences:\n— Y. Guo\, H. Liu\, O.

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.

Despite gains due to these efforts\, higher education and other social institutions are being targeted for their commitment to and investments in DEI\, in favor of race\, identity\, or characteristic specific evasive approaches that do not account for historical and contemporary discriminatory and exclusionary practices that make DEI necessary. Though DEI initiatives are the current target\, DEI only serves as an entry point into higher education with the intent of disrupting and dismantling the institution with academic freedom being another major target. Many scholars across a wide range of fields and disciplines interrogate inequities and disparities within and across groups and are now at risk of their research and scholarship being politicized and demonized due to an intensifying culture war that devalues the merit of such research\, scholarship\, and praxis. During this lecture and panel\, Isaac Kamola\, Associate Professor of Political Science at Trinity College\, will give a speak on the genesis of current attacks on Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion and their implications on academic freedom\, followed by a panel where panelists will consider why attacks on DEI are an affront to academic freedom\, how such attacks impact critical areas of research\, and the impact on higher education and society at large. Lastly\, the panel will imagine possibilities for collaborative strategies within and outside of the academy to counteract these attacks.  \nAfter the event\, a reception will be held in Victors Hall. Boxed food will be available for anyone observing Ramadan to take home. \nNOTE: To attend this session remotely\, please register via this link.  \nEVENT 2: The New McCarthyism: Authoritarianism and the Future of Academic Freedom\nAcademic freedom has continuously been subject to political and governmental pressures operating to censor subjects deemed controversial. Historically and now\, political and governmental pressures have led to McCarthy-esque crusades intent on rooting out alleged idealogues bent on indoctrinating students with “dangerous” ideas. Today\, these attacks on higher education have been turbo-charged\, with a well-funded and well-organized barrage of governmental and political forces operating collectively to undermine academic freedom. Faculty are facing pressures to avoid a multitude of subjects\, including DEI\, gender studies\, climate science\, women’s healthcare\, the Middle East\, critical race theory\, and vaccines. The combined impact of these pressures threatens the vigorous inquiry necessary for advancing human understanding. This panel discussion will consider historic and contemporary political and governmental attacks on higher education\, campus speech\, and institutional responses\, and it will offer suggestions toward counteracting such authoritarian efforts to limit academic freedom.Breakfast refreshments and snacks will be provided during the event. To-go boxes will be available for anyone observing Ramadan to take home. Watch the livestream here: https://youtube.com/live/5RgwMbb7TVM?feature=share\n UID:133146-21872440@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133146 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION: CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250120T151032 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250314T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250314T120000 SUMMARY:Well-being:\"Let's Talk\": Informal\, Drop-In Mental Health Counseling DESCRIPTION:Trained mental health counselors are now available for drop-in conversations at different times and locations across campus\, including at Trotter\, the Spectrum Center\, South Quad\, the International Center\, and Bursley.\n\nThis informal\, confidential “office hours” style can be a great fit for students unsure about formal counseling\; for those with a specific\, time-limited concern they’d like to talk through\; or those seeking information on campus resources.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Recent advances in dynamic treatment regimes (DTRs) provide powerful optimal treatment searching algorithms\, which are tailored to individuals’ specific needs and able to maximize their expected clinical benefits. However\, existing algorithms could suffer from insufficient sample size under optimal treatments\, especially for chronic diseases involving long stages of decision-making. To address these challenges\, we propose a novel individualized learning method which estimates the DTR with a focus on prioritizing alignment between the observed treatment trajectory and the one obtained by the optimal regime across decision stages. By relaxing the restriction that the observed trajectory must be fully aligned with the optimal treatments\, our approach substantially improves the sample efficiency and stability of inverse probability weighted based methods. In particular\, the proposed learning scheme builds a more general framework which includes the popular outcome weighted learning framework as a special case of ours. Moreover\, we introduce the notion of stage importance scores along with an attention mechanism to explicitly account for heterogeneity among decision stages. We establish the theoretical properties of the proposed approach\, including the Fisher consistency and finite-sample performance bound. Empirically\, we evaluate the proposed method in extensive simulated environments and a real case study for COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n\nhttps://faculty.sites.uci.edu/qulab/ UID:132382-21870849@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132382 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250314T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250314T200000 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:84303-21621543@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:20250307T123550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250314T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:19700101T000000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Celebrate Pi Day with Michigan IOE!

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).

Common paradigms include diffusion models\, score matching models\, and continuous normalizing flows. In this talk I will first present methods for improved training of flow models using flow matching objectives using ideas from optimal transport. I will then show how these improved methods can be applied to the tasks of (1) modelling cell dynamics\, which allow us to better understand disease programs –leading to a new potential therapeutic pathway for triple-negative breast cancer and (2) generative protein design\, with applications to biologic drug discovery.\n\nBio:\nAlexander Tong is a postdoctoral fellow at Mila with Yoshua Bengio\, visiting researcher at Oxford with Michael Bronstein\, cofounder of Dreamfold—a protein design startup\, and incoming assistant professor at Duke University starting July 2025. Alex completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at Yale University in 2021 with Smita Krishnaswamy. His research interests span generative modeling\, graph signal processing\, and optimal transport to understand biological systems with a focus on cells and proteins.

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.

During the Middle Period (AD 500–1000)\, populations in the oases grew\, perhaps as a result of the incorporation of local communities in the Tiwanaku sphere of influence. Intensive bioarchaeological\, radiometric\, and isotopic analysis of hundreds of well-preserved skeletons from the oases’ numerous cemeteries has revealed a marked diversity of lifeways\, some that conform to expectations and others that defy homogenizing narratives. This work also raises questions about the scales and units of bioarchaeological analysis\, encouraging certain reconsideration but also opening new possibilities for future research.

As such\, scholars across disciplines have been devoted to investigating how race and ethnicity feature in every aspect of social and political life. The purpose of I-REP (Interdisciplinary Workshop in Race\, Ethnicity and Politics) is to provide a space for scholars whose research centers race\, ethnicity and politics across a number of fields to receive critical feedback on the early stages of their work (especially graduate students)\, build community with other researchers who share similar interests and offer an opportunity for participants to collaborate on a joint research project within the working group.

We propose and explore that various changes in patterns and content of member interactions correspond with changes in the structure of a growing firm. We examine this idea with quantitative inductive analyses of nearly 700\,000 messages\, sent on the Slack platform\, by members of a hi-tech firm as it grew from 40 to 402 employees over 5 years. We use big data quantitative tools to analyze and identify trends in the data and use inductive analyses to suggest theory about the interface of leader behaviors\, employee interaction behaviors and structural changes. Our theory suggests three core arguments: First\, as leaders add new members to the organization\, we show gradual growth in member responding to other people\, which we infer to be an increase in interactions (rather than “mere” statements) that serve to an integration of member efforts. Second\, as leaders assign people to various areas\, we show a lagging but clear uptick in tendency of members to select interaction partners from within their functional area\, which we suggest shows members’ interactions as gradual drivers of the structural grouping of members. Third\, as leaders allocate the organization’s work among functional areas\, we see a (partial\, incomplete\, yet clear) distinction between different functional areas in the content of interactions\, suggesting an emerging division of labor\, or a focus in the types of work different areas perform. Taken together\, our theory suggests a process of convergent structural elaboration of growing firms\, wherein design decisions of leaders and the interactions of members converge over time constructing the structures through which organizational work is accomplished.

A principal seeks to screen efficient agents using one-period contracts\, but is tempted to revise contract terms upon knowing an agent’s type. Alterations of contracts are observable and\, hence\, whenever past promises are broken future information revelation stops. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions under which information revelation can be fostered. For sufficiently patient players\, private information is either never revealed or fully revealed in a sequential manner. Optimal contracts provide high-powered incentives upon initial disclosure of an agent’s type\, and rewards for information revelation vanish over time.

This paper takes as its point of departure a conceptual dependency on a universal category of “woman” that cannot not account for the un-rapeability of Black women. Thus\, brought into focus is a methodological problematic of attending to sexual violence against Black women under colonial capitalist modernity in terms other than its erasure. The pursuit of this methodological problem leads to a pursuit of the ethnographic implications therein.\n\nThe ethnographic gesture\, a Kantian inheritance\, which shuttles between the particular – so-called “lived experience” – and a generalizable\, transcendental principle – is in pursuit of a mediating third term: culture. And it is in pursuit of a mediating third term that I interrogate the concept of “rape culture” as a figuration of the limit of the anthropological axiom that culture is premised on the legitimation of some forms of violent access to women and the foreclosure of others via the incest taboo – that unlocatable process and fantasized moment of rupture from nature that culture was “born.” While rape confuses this boundary\, I argue that opposing rape through recourse to the rights of women is coextensive with the system that permits both the legalization and the confusion of the law of violence against Black women – in capitalist colonial modernity.\n\nIn the idiom of the ethnographic\, the paper weaves together intimate and public discourses around sexual violence in contemporary South Africa\, scenes of coming-of-age under apartheid\, and Fanon’s elaboration of the psychosexual arrangement of colonial society. In turn\, it scrutinizes the fantasies of racial hatred and racial reconciliation that the concept of “rape culture” engenders in order to bring into focus the endurance of the axiom that organizes the false universalism of woman: “Whoever says rape says Black man.” Moving between the paradigm of “rape culture” and its impossible application for Black women\, the paper traces connections between the (im)possibility of attending to the lived experience of anti-Blackness and the psychical structuring of the social field\, enabled by and echoed in anthropological discourse. In the final instance\, the Black woman about whom Fanon knows “nothing” marks the point of departure for an (im)possible ethnography in the zone of non-being.\n\nChloé Samala Faux is the Provost’s Postdoctoral Equity Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at Wesleyan University. She creates social theory by bringing anthropological inquiry into conversation with interventions from Black critical theory\, Marxism and psychoanalysis\, and feminist theory\, to investigate the conditions of Black life and death under capitalist modernity. By way of the conjoined and redoubling discourses of psychoanalysis and anthropology\, her current book project interrogates the psychosexual and sociopolitical (re)-structuring of the family\, to understand both the failures of “transition” in South Africa and the insufficiencies of the culturalism that animates much Black radical criticism.

The Noether-Fano method for proving non-rationality is based on the idea that a Fano variety birationally equivalent to another in a nontrivial way must admit a “very singular” linear system. In this talk\, we will introduce this method and prove that no smooth quartic threefold is rational.

Sedimentary basins also offer important energy\, water\, and mineral resources\, and underground storage capacity for fuels including hydrogen. However\, in urban settings\, the complex structures of sedimentary basins combined with the limitations of the built environment present some of the biggest challenges for recording high quality seismic data\, imaging the basin structure\, and monitoring subsurface changes. We have demonstrated that installing dense seismic nodal arrays can address such critical observational gaps and at the same time\, broaden geoscience inclusivity\, and engage local communities. I will discuss the scientific findings from nodal arrays installed in Yangon\, Myanmar and in the San Fernando Valley\, California. I will also discuss resilience and recovery considerations that motivated hazard-related monitoring in these regions.

This historical and geographical situatedness of language impacts in substantive ways the grammatical features that a language has\, and also how users of the language define their identities relative to their language (or languages). Although this is true in all contexts where language is used\, post-colonial societies provide particularly rich and complex case studies of how language\, history\, place and identity are intricately related. In this presentation\, I will give an overview of colonial context in which Afrikaans originated\, and then investigate how Afrikaans grammar and the Afrikaans speech community continue to be shaped by the complexities of modern\, post-colonial South African society. I will investigate three case studies\, each demonstrating a different aspect of the complex linguistic landscape in which Afrikaans and its speakers exist: (i) Nasal coarticulation in different socio-ethnic varieties of Afrikaans\; (ii) the phonetic properties of filled pauses in Patagonian Afrikaans\; and (iii) regional and socio-ethnic variation in the front vowel space of Afrikaans.

Researchers in biology and environmental science have made significant progress in studying animal communication\, revealing complex vocal patterns and their roles in social interactions\, navigation\, and survival. Recently\, AI has started to complement this work by analyzing vast datasets\, identifying patterns\, and offering new perspectives on vocalizations—from decoding the meaning behind dog barks and primate calls to analyzing whale songs and bird communication. How much can AI truly reveal about animal communication? What are its current capabilities and limitations? Join us for a discussion with AI researchers and animal communication experts as we explore the latest advances in this space. \n\nWhen: March 14\, 6:30pm – 7:30pm\nWhere: AADL Ann Arbor downtown\, 4th Floor Meeting Room (343 S 5th Ave\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48104)\nWith interactive activities developed by graduate student Yara El-Tawil and Snehal Prabhudesai\n\nAbout the speakers:\n\nThore Bergman is a Professor of Psychology and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan. He is interested in how primates use communication and cognition to navigate the social world. Thore studies wild primates because he is interested in both the causes of behavioral variation (what makes one animal respond a certain way while a different animal does something else?) and the consequences of behavior (how does the behavior affect their survival and reproduction?). Thore’s main study subjects are capuchin monkeys in Costa Rica and geladas in Ethiopia.\n\nArtem Abzaliev is a PhD student working on Multimodal Machine Learning/AI with a particular interest in analyzing and understanding Animal Communication with AI models. His research studied dog and bird vocalizations. He is also a dog lover!\n\nÁlvaro Vega-Hidalgo is a PhD student whose work focuses on computational approaches to studying animal communication and enhancing wildlife conservation through community-centered design. His research is driven by the intrinsic value of wildlife-human coexistence and fundamental questions about the evolution of language. Before joining UMich\, he worked at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, where he helped scaling AI systems across continents to monitor birds globally with the help of citizen science. He also contributed to Biometrio.earth\, a German company focused on Carbon Credit Transparency using AI.\n\nModerator: Rada Mihalcea is the Janice M. Jenkins Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan and the Director of the Michigan Artificial Intelligence Lab. Her research interests are in natural language processing\, with a focus on multimodal processing and computational social sciences. She is an ACM Fellow\, a AAAI Fellow\, and served as ACL President (2018-2022 Vice/Past). She is the recipient of a Sarah Goddard Power award (2019) for her contributions to diversity in science\, and the recipient of a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers awarded by President Obama (2009).

In BLACK HOLE\, three Black dancers share the stage in a narrative of unity\, vigor\, and unrelenting advancement. Their journey originates in the darkness of the titular Black Hole\, understood not as a cosmic void but a metaphorical place of transformation and potential. Engulfed in an evocative soundscape of original music\, sound samples\, and spoken word\, the dancers embark on an hour-long\, uninterrupted journey in movement\, in which their tenacity and grace are emphasized by cinematic video projections and stark\, monochromatic lights. “Another person challenging the traditional views on Black masculinity is Shamel Pitts\, one of the most acclaimed dancers/choreographers of his generation and a shining example of Black excellence.” (Afropunk) UID:121992-21847929@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Advocacy,African American,African Diaspora,American Culture,Ann Arbor,Anthropology,Art,art and design,artists,artists and curators,arts,Culture,dance,Diversity,Energy,Humanities,In Person,Interdisciplinary,Mindfulness,multicultural,music,performance,Storytelling,UMS,university musical society,visual arts LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250311T151308 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250315T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250315T235900 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Presented by GISC.

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.

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:84303-21621544@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:20250315T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250315T170000 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).

HieYon Choi has been since performing with prestigious orchestras of Europe\, US and Korea such as das Rundfunkorchester Berlin\, the National Symphony Orchestra (Washington DC)\, the Northern Sinfonia\, the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and the Korean Broadcast Symphony Orchestra and appears as a soloist in festivals and concert series.\n\nA milestone of Choi’s performing career was the four-year long cycle of all 32 Beethoven piano sonatas at the Kumho Art Hall in Seoul. For this series she received the Arts Award of the year 2005 by the Korean Arts & Cultural Association. Later she completed another Beethoven cycle with all piano trios\, violin sonatas and works for cello and piano.

In BLACK HOLE\, three Black dancers share the stage in a narrative of unity\, vigor\, and unrelenting advancement. Their journey originates in the darkness of the titular Black Hole\, understood not as a cosmic void but a metaphorical place of transformation and potential. Engulfed in an evocative soundscape of original music\, sound samples\, and spoken word\, the dancers embark on an hour-long\, uninterrupted journey in movement\, in which their tenacity and grace are emphasized by cinematic video projections and stark\, monochromatic lights. “Another person challenging the traditional views on Black masculinity is Shamel Pitts\, one of the most acclaimed dancers/choreographers of his generation and a shining example of Black excellence.” (Afropunk) UID:121992-21847930@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121992 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Advocacy,African American,African Diaspora,American Culture,Ann Arbor,Anthropology,Art,art and design,artists,artists and curators,arts,Culture,dance,Diversity,Energy,Humanities,In Person,Interdisciplinary,Mindfulness,multicultural,music,performance,Storytelling,UMS,university musical society,visual arts LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20241204T112546 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250315T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Steel Wheels DESCRIPTION:New Blue Ridge acoustic Americana with old-time flavors\n\nThe Steel Wheels have long been at home in the creative space between tradition and innovation\, informed by the familiar sounds of the Virginia mountains where the band was formed\, but always moving forward with insightful lyrics and an evolving sound. In 2005\, Jay Lapp (vocals\, guitars\, mandolin) and Eric Brubaker (vocals\, fiddle) joined lead singer Trent Wagler (guitar\, banjo) in forming the band as a vehicle for Wagler’s songwriting. They released several albums under Wagler’s moniker\, before officially adopting the The Steel Wheels name with the 2010 release of Red Wing. Quickly staking their claim as independent upstarts in the burgeoning Americana scene\, The Steel Wheels followed up this release with three more self-produced albums in the next five years\, before joining forces with producer Sam Kassirer for Wild As We Came Here (2017) and Over The Trees (2019). Kevin Garcia (drums\, percussion\, keys) joined in 2017\, bringing a new level of sonic depth and polish to the outfit. Newest member Jeremy Darrow rounds out the rhythm section and grounds the band as they continue to explore deeply rooted yet fresh folk rock sounds.\n\nHaving gained the experience of thousands of shows\, festivals and many miles on the road\, the stubbornly independent band has formed deep bonds with each other and the audience that sustains them. Whether at a joyous summer festival\, in their many shows across the country and beyond\, or in the studio\, The Steel Wheels continue their mission set out over a decade ago\; shaking up traditions to see what sticks\, telling stories\, and joining communities through song.

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

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818066@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:20250227T121642 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250316T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250316T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:enemies + entities DESCRIPTION:enemies + entities\; one of the most ironic sentences in life. With that irony in mind\, enemies + entities is an exhibition built to propose a question to the current generation regarding how media and interactive experiences are having both positive and negative impacts on each other\; in other words\, becoming each others’ enemies and entities.

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:84303-21621545@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:20250316T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250316T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

Still living and working on the family farm\, Billy has continued writing and recording\, and\, with his brother\, started Holler Fest\, a three-day music festival featuring Michigan artists.\n\nBilly’s versatility as a multi-genre singer-songwriter is matched by his ability on a wide range of instruments from guitar and banjo to keyboards and accordion. \n\nWithin the songwriting community\, he is well-known for his musicianship and originality. In 2007\, his composition\, \"I Don't Write Love Songs\,\" was awarded the Grand Prize in the Great Lakes Songwriting Contest.\n\nInfluenced by master songwriters such as Bob Dylan\, Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon\, Billy crafts melodically compelling songs that maintain a sense of the timeless and classic. Sometimes catchy folk/rock\, sometimes searing blues\, but always direct and thoughtful lyrics - this is original music from an original life\, fully accomplished yet humble\, and most of all real.

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.

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).

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

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

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

Within the expansive field of human-robot interaction\, we explore how two fundamental concepts\, trust and situation awareness\, can facilitate and apply to interactions between humans and robots. Methods are presented for allocating tasks between humans and robots using trust\, understanding team trust dynamics\, and perceiving and enhancing situation awareness.\n\nTo address the problem of allocating tasks between humans and robots\, we present a task allocation method that can allocate both familiar and novel tasks and learn unknown agent capabilities by incorporating trust from a robot.\n\nWe move towards fostering appropriate trust by demonstrating how a team’s trust in and engagement with autonomy did not decrease in a longitudinal experiment\, despite the autonomy’s persistent unreliability. \n\nA multi-phase solution is presented for the problem of improving situation awareness. The solution combines experimentation to uncover how shared mental models and communication factors influence situation awareness\, leading to a real-time situation awareness estimation and robot communication adaptation method that we demonstrate to improve situation awareness and performance.\n\nThe presented work enriches our knowledge on how humans team with robots\, moving closer to a reality where humans and robots harmoniously work in unison to achieve goals.

Yet\, one primary challenge for these powered devices is to achieve seamless cooperation between the human user and the exoskeleton. Fluent human-exoskeleton cooperation mandates mutual adaptation. Humans need to adapt to it as the support from the exoskeleton alters movement dynamics. Similarly\, the exoskeleton must also adapt to the evolving behaviors of its users. However\, current approaches often lack adequate guidance to facilitate human learning in exoskeleton usage\, and many exoskeleton controllers overlook the user’s evolving behaviors during the learning process. Moreover\, the dynamics of co-adaptation between the human and exoskeleton are not thoroughly understood. The dissertation delves into each of these challenges through three primary projects.\n\nIn the first project\, I examined the impact of EMG biofeedback on the use of EMG-based powered upper limb exoskeletons in a tracking task. We found that EMG biofeedback did not lead to large differences in muscle effort reduction (overall or during hold periods) or task accuracy\, possibly due to the need for individuals to have additional support to acquire an appropriate exoskeleton motor program and learn how to effectively utilize the biofeedback information. Nevertheless\, biofeedback may improve participant satisfaction with exoskeleton usage\, which is a crucial factor for encouraging long-term use. In the second project\, I introduced an adaptive controller capable of monitoring user adaptation and utilizing this information for intention classification. The adaptive controller yielded notable enhancements in intention classification accuracy and reduced muscle effort during movement initiation in a target position matching task. In the third project\, I integrated EMG biofeedback with the adaptive controller to promote co-adaptation within the human-exoskeleton team. I also investigated the impact of biofeedback training on novice users’ ability to utilize biofeedback information effectively. The results demonstrated that training enabled users to benefit from biofeedback\, and the co-adaptation process led to optimal exoskeleton usage.\n\nTaken together\, these projects provide critical insights into promoting co-adaptation in human-exoskeleton interaction. They offer an understanding of human and exoskeleton adaptation independently while also unveiling the interactive dynamics of co-adaptation\, advancing the field toward more effective and intuitive exoskeleton systems.\n\nZoom Passcode: 151547 UID:133686-21873403@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133686 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Industrial and Operations Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Industrial and Operations Engineering Building - 2717 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250311T082912 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T133000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Science Success Series | Chemistry Majors and Mocktails DESCRIPTION:Connect with current students majoring in Chemistry\, Biochemistry\, and Biomolecular Science.

Christine El-Hage Walters and Tiffany Ng DESCRIPTION:*A Carillon Journey through Middle-Eastern Music*: Join Drs. Christine El-Hage Walters and Tiffany Ng for a special noon carillon recital that journeys through a blend of traditional and contemporary Middle-Eastern music\, highlighting the distinct tonalities and rhythms found throughout this area of the world. The recital will feature the music of Lebanese legend Fairuz\, Middle Eastern folk tunes\, and original compositions written with a message of hope and peace for the region. Experience the resonance of the carillon as it amplifies these hopeful sounds\, creating a community atmosphere that bridges cultures and reflects the enduring spirit of peace.\n\nThe Charles Baird Carillon is an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.

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

The primary objective is to develop a cohesive architecture for the entire autonomy stack\, ensuring that\, under specific and verifiable assumptions\, a robot can execute its mission while respecting these constraints.\n\nTo achieve this\, we take a bottom-up approach\, beginning with the design of a safety-critical controller and identifying the necessary assumptions for its safe operation. These assumptions impose requirements on upstream autonomy modules\, such as planning and perception. We then develop methods to construct these modules in a way that preserves safety guarantees across the entire autonomy stack.\n\nThe main contributions of this thesis include: (A) the gatekeeper architecture - a flexible framework for establishing rigorous safety guarantees at the planning level\, (B) the development of certifiably correct perception algorithms that not only produce accurate obstacle maps but also provide error bounds to ensure correctness despite odometry drift\, and (C) the introduction of clarity and perceivability - concepts that quantify a robotic system’s ability to gather information about its environment\, taking into account the environment model\, as well as the robot’s actuation and sensing capabilities.\n\nFor each of these contributions\, we provide formal proofs and demonstrate their practical effectiveness through simulations and hardware experiments with aerial and mobile robots.\n\nZoom passcode: opensesame UID:133772-21873545@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133772 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Aerospace Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building - 2300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T063222 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T153000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Career Connections\, Spring 2025 DESCRIPTION:Change the World at a National Lab! You can make a positive\, global impact in science\, energy\, and national security.

The sediment record of microbial ecosystems has the potential to preserve information about past climate\, biology\, mechanics\, and more. However\, separating individual processes from the complex amalgamation of information that typifies microbial sediments is a continuing challenge for microbial systems from the Archean to the modern. This dissertation investigates the impacts of environmental variations on microbial records at a range of spatial and temporal scales.\nIn Chapters 2 and 3\, I focus on early records of life in the Archean and Paleoproterozoic\, prior to the evolution of multicellularity. In Chapter 2\, I use a literature review to determine how microbialite depositional environments change across nearly two billion years of the Archean and Paleoproterozoic. This chapter presents the first broad dataset to consider marine and tidal microbialites separately and also reveals the consistent presence of terrestrial microbialites from the earliest records of life. I find that the majority of microbialites formed in tidal environments and the proportion of terrestrially influenced microbialites increased during periods of craton development\, suggesting that terrestrially derived nutrients were essential to early life. In Chapter 3\, I use microCT scanning to measure and reconstruct 3.48 Ga microbialites\, among the earliest accepted evidence of life. These measurements\, along with a compilation of carbon and sulfur isotope data\, suggest that the microbialites were formed by metabolically diverse communities in a high flow tidal environment\, consistent with modeling of Archean tides.\nIn Chapter 4\, I investigate microbialites from a lake in the hothouse climate of the Early Eocene (~50 Ma) using a mixture of morphological and geochemical analyses. This chapter considers how spatial and temporal differences influence microbialites\, looking at single beds over 10–20 km distances and samples spanning 3 Ma. I find that microbialite morphology and chemistry records a mixture of large-scale information such as temperatures consistent with a hothouse environment and local conditions such as spring or stream influence and sediment sources\, which manifests as lateral variability within beds. Additionally\, comparison of atmospheric carbon dioxide reconstructions based on preserved carbon in the microbialites to past estimates supports low to moderate microbial growth rates throughout this time period.\nIn Chapter 5\, I consider how sediments in a modern microbial ecosystem are influenced by climate change using a ten-year timeseries of sediment carbon and nitrogen data from an anoxic sinkhole in Lake Huron\, which hosts a diverse microbial mat ecosystem. I integrate this sediment data with climate and lake chemistry parameters\, finding that changes in ice cover lead to differences in sediment carbon in the following year. These results suggest that decreasing ice cover in the Great Lakes could lead to rapid but potentially ephemeral effects on sediment carbon.\nThe results in this dissertation exhibit the array of spatial and temporal scales at which microbial-environmental interactions occur\, from local effects such as groundwater altering microbialite chemistry or carbon preservation to global climate and tectonics driving microbialite distribution. These findings can provide a framework for understanding the interactions between microbial ecosystems and their environment and emphasize the importance of environmental context for understanding microbialite records.

Hidden (i.e.\, cryptic) traits\, those not readily apparent or those obscured by variation in other traits\, represent a challenge in that they can lead to incomplete or incorrect interpretations of pattern and process in phenotypic evolution. The study of ecological and evolutionary interactions among species is particularly sensitive to these challenges in trait detection and quantification because every organism uses other species to survive and reproduce. If organisms are using hidden traits to communicate and function\, then we may be missing entire axes of variation crucial to our understanding of species interactions. Given that many organisms have vastly different sensory capabilities than humans\, studying cryptic traits in the context of species interactions provides the opportunity to examine animal behavior and ecology from perspectives more relevant to the interacting species themselves. My dissertation combines museum methods\, classroom experiences\, phylogenetic comparative analyses\, and field observations to investigate species interactions and their consequential effects on cryptic trait variation. This research provides a detailed exploration into the evolution of UV color in response to ecological variables\, as well as integrative ways to use museums and teaching to further our understanding of broader trait evolution in response to species interactions.\n\nThis is a hybrid event.

The detector is made of 4 tons of Li-6 doped liquid scintillator divided into an 11x14 array of optically separated segments. The experiment searches for potential short-baseline oscillations and the existence of sterile neutrinos. PROSPECT has already set new limits on the existence of eV-scale sterile neutrinos while achieving the highest signal-to-background ratio on any surface antineutrino detector. The collaboration has developed an upgraded detector design\, PROSPECT-II\, which will increase the detector's statistics and physics sensitivity. In this talk\, I will present the PROSPECT-I results and describe the major design features of the PROSPECT-II detector\, highlighting improvements from the PROSPECT-I detector. In addition\, I will discuss how those add to the oscillation and spectrum results.

For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or in an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the FootballGame last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation. If you areinterested in learning more about \"small talk\"\, now it’s your chance to sign up for this workshop on how to navigate small talk as an international student. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what is small talk and you will also have the chance to practice small talk with Peers! REGISTER HERE: https://umich.joinhandshake.com/events/1718094/share_preview We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.

Geometrically\, unitary Shimura varieties are arithmetic quotients of unit balls which are realizable as the complex points of a quasi-projective algebraic variety. Arithmetically\, this variety descends to a variety over a totally real number field. Integrally\, certain unions of these varieties represent a moduli problem which has an integral structure.

Although gender/sex differences in autism diagnosis are shrinking\, public recognition of this shift may be lagging for various reasons. For example\, even today\, the rare media depictions of autistic adults (many are of autistic children and adolescents\, usually boys) disproportionately focus on autistic men. Insofar as these depictions inform societal impressions\, a masculinization hypothesis suggests that both autistic men and autistic women may be construed as having more masculine qualities than their non-autistic counterparts. In this talk\, Andrew Todd will report findings from a new and ongoing line of research that are better accommodated by an alternative de-gendering hypothesis: In multiple experiments using a combination of direct and indirect methodological approaches\, autistic adults were construed as having fewer gender-consistent traits than neurotypical and neurotype-unspecified adults. Furthermore\, this de-gendering pattern had downstream implications that align with dehumanizing experiences commonly reported by autistic adults—that they’re viewed by others both as machine-like (i.e.\, mechanistic dehumanization) and as more childlike (i.e.\, infantilization) than their chronological age dictates. These mechanized and infantilized impressions of autistic women and men\, which were not fully reducible to general negativity toward autism specifically or toward neurodivergence or disability more broadly\, were evident (albeit more weakly) even among autistic participants.\n\nAndrew Todd (BA\, Michigan State\; MS & PhD\, Northwestern) is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of California\, Davis. Much of his research falls into two general themes: (1) antecedents and consequences of perspective taking and mental-state reasoning\, and (2) mental representations of people with different combinations of social identities.\n\nAllison Earl hosts.\n\nThe Winter 2025 RCGD Seminar Series will feature speakers invited and hosted by faculty affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics. These multidisciplinary talks will cover a variety of topics in social science\, including social cognition\, structural racism\, romantic relationships\, and cognitive health. Check the schedule for updates to this series that will convene on select Mondays at 3:30 at the Institute for Social Research.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.

In situ probe of the EDL structure and dynamics at the molecular level requires advanced molecular spectroscopic tools with interfacial sensitivity and/or selectivity. In this talk\, I will discuss three recent studies in developing and applying vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as powerful in situ interface specific/sensitive vibrational spectroscopic tools. 1) Using combined VSFG and DFT calculation\, we determine the binding structure of a molecular CO2 reduction catalyst on metal electrodes and interfacial electric field profile in the EDL\, revealing surprisingly large electrode induction effects on molecular catalyst. 2) Using combined SERS and MD simulation\, we obtain an atomistic view of the structure of solvent and ion molecules at the EDL\, revealing an unconventional interfacial water structure change at high negative electrode polarizations in water-in-salt electrolytes. 3) Using time-resolved VSFG\, we directly measure hot electron transfer induced vibrational dynamics of adsorbates on metal electrodes\, suggesting the possibility of plasmon (or light)-enhanced electrochemistry.

Within this framework\, the inverse problem for the KP I equation is formulated as a nonlocal Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) in two dimensions. As part of the asymptotic analysis\, we also determine the long-time behavior of the solution to the nonlocal RHP\, along with its x-derivative.

Does this mean Koreans living in Japan are becoming Japanese? Hwaji Shin’s new book presents a compelling sociological analysis of Korean colonial migrants’ and their descendants’ politics of self-identification and their ongoing struggle for social justice. Centering on the social and political exclusion of Koreans\, the book asks two fundamental questions: What has triggered the historical transformations of nationhood\, citizenship\, and migration policies in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Japan? How are these transformations related?\n \n Hwaji Shin challenges the persistent belief that Japan’s ethno-racial homogeneity is responsible for its restrictive citizenship and immigration laws. She argues that the relationships between nationhood\, citizenship\, and migration in Japan have always been fluid and historically contingent rather than causal or static. Her work examines the nexus of these three concepts from a subaltern perspective and illuminates the ways in which non-state\, marginalized actors directly influenced the state’s development of citizenship and immigration policies. It explores the failures and triumphs of Koreans resisting Japanese ethno-racial oppression through stories of ordinary lives that have been disrupted by wars\, elites’ interests\, and geopolitics. *Being Korean\, Becoming Japanese?* draws on rich historical data to provide a powerful narrative about how Koreans in Japan have defiantly survived and thrived to impact the country’s ideas and policies of nationhood\, citizenship\, and migration for more than a century.\n \n This event is sponsored by the Center for Japanese Studies and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu.

She situates an ethnographic study of evolutionary biologists in a “spider lab” within a spatial and political analysis of their fields on Tohono O’odham ancestral territory at the US-México border. Wesner’s broader collaborative research program is guided by the questions: How do practicing biologists uphold and upend heteropatriarchal understandings of sex\, gender\, and violence in their quotidian study of non-human animals? How might life sciences offer openings for feminist analytics of migration and right-relations with occupied lands? \nAshton Wesner is assistant professor of Science\, Technology\, and Society at Colby College\, where she also co-facilitates the Environmental Humanities Faculty Seminar and the Critical Indigenous Studies Initiative. Her research and teaching in STS combines critical history of the natural sciences\, queer and feminist studies\, and Native American and Indigenous studies. She brings these fields together to sharpen our conceptions of US imperialist environmental violence and expand feminist practices in evolutionary and field biology. Ashton received her PhD from the University of California Berkeley in Society & Environment. Her most recent publications can be found in The American Naturalist\, on the history of coloniality\, data\, and power in the natural sciences\, and Women’s Studies\, on the gendered slippages in studies on jumping spider mating behavior and the possibilities for queer modes of attention to disrupt heteropatriarchy in the scientific study of animals. She has additional work in Catalyst: Feminist\, Theory\, Technoscience\; Animal Behavior\; and forthcoming in Oisirs. She is also an Editor for 4SBackchannels\, the digital publication forum for the Society for Social Studies of Science.

Rather than just taking the name as a playful pseudonym\, it explores how the artist’s self-identification can be read alongside the scenes of diplomacy\, supplication\, and healing on the cups themselves\, which are also examples of intelligent acts of touch. In their allusions to Greek epic and drama\, these scenes also draw on a long tradition in Greco-Roman culture exploring the entangled relationship between hand and mind. As a form of enactive or extended cognition\, the ‘wisdom of hands’ is also key to Hellenistic Greek epigrams on works of art\, especially those on bronze statues by the third century BCE poet Posidippus. The notion of the ‘intelligent hand’\, emerging from the craft of metalwork\, challenges the instrumentalist assumptions of Aristotle’s claim that the hand is simply the ‘tool of tools’\, asserting a form of haptic wisdom that is vital to the transmission of Greek culture\, even beyond the edges of the Roman Empire.\n\nVerity Platt works at the intersection between Greco-Roman art\, literature\, and philosophy. She is cross-appointed in the departments of Classics and History of Art at Cornell University\, where she also co-curates the university’s cast collection and is currently director of the Humanities Scholars Program. This lecture draws from her forthcoming book\, Epistemic Objects: Making and Mediating Classical Art and Text (Oxford University Press).

At the forefront of the struggle to end police violence in the United States\, the story of *The People’s Uncle* chronicles his journey and his work with families affected by similarly brutal experiences.\n\nHambira\, an African filmmaker living in the United States\, uses his storytelling to bridge gaps between marginalized voices across the African diaspora. By documenting Uncle Bobby’s work and impact\, Hambira reframes dominant narratives to emphasize resilience\, activism\, and the interwoven struggles of African and African American communities. This collaboration highlights the enduring ties between the continent and its diaspora\, showcasing how shared histories and experiences of marginalization can inspire collective action and solidarity. Together\, their work not only surfaces suppressed stories but also serves as a powerful example of diasporic unity in the fight for justice and human rights.\n\nFree and open to the public.\nPlease register at: https://forms.gle/KNCKqcZv8VKazHfz5 UID:132623-21871441@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132623 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:african diaspora,African Studies,African Studies Center,Discussion,Film LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250317T172045 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T174500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T195000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Residence Education\, West Quadrangle DESCRIPTION: UID:133947-21873715@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133947 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:West Quad Multipurpose Room #1005 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250307T082853 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250317T193000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jews\, the Academy\, and Antisemitism: How and What Should We Study? DESCRIPTION:Antisemitism on American campuses\, both before and following the attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7\, 2023 is one of nation’s key polarizing issues\, acting as a magnet for virtually every political conflict. The current claims and counter-claims about campus antisemitism require far more careful analysis than is afforded by many of the current debates.\n\nI am interested in opening a conversation about these issues that will examine a broader understanding of the social field in which these debates are currently situated. Some of the components of the social field will include the complex history of Jews in American higher education\, the transformations in scholarship created by the political movements of the 1970s that have been both critical to creating the field of Jewish studies and contemporary theorizing of Israel and Palestine\, and the related political fight to define antisemitism\, including the partisans driving this fight outside of academia.\n\nFinally\, I will turn to recent survey research on Jewish and non-Jewish students’ attitudes and experiences on American campuses that reveals far more complex findings than anticipated by the sociologists who conducted the research. There is an urgent need for scholars to engage research about campus antisemitism with far greater nuance and assertiveness than currently exists.\n\nRiv-Ellen Prell\, an anthropologist\, is Emerita Professor of American Studies at the University of Minnesota. She is the author of Fighting to Become Americans: Jews\, Gender and the Anxiety of Assimilation and Prayer and Community: the Havurah in American Judaism. Among other works\, she has edited Women Remaking American Judaism.\n\nHer scholarly essays\, articles and reviews\, at the intersection of anthropology and history\, engage questions of how American Jewish cultures have been shaped by work\, family\, gender\, antisemitism\, and religious and cultural innovation. In 2017 she curated both a physical and digital exhibition “A Campus Divided: Progressives\, Anticommunists\, Racism and Antisemitism at the University of Minnesota: 1920-1934.” The exhibition was the most widely attended in the University’s history\, which resulted in a student protest movement that called for major transformations in memorialization and priorities at the University of Minnesota.

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.

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).

However\, the massive adoption of AI in research and the assurance of positive societal impact of the output of such research will be possible only when we can address a multitude of technical and ethical issues\, ensure infrastructure and skill building\, and understand the impact of AI on society’s challenges. Collaboration among researchers and organizations regionally and globally is essential. \n\nIn this symposium\, we bring together world-class researchers to share their vision and work\; share “AI journeys” stories - how University of Michigan researchers have been incorporating AI in their research and the lessons they impart to the audience\; and offer sessions for research brainstorming and skill building. \n\nFor a full schedule of sessions and speakers\, please visit our event page: https://myumi.ch/qVXg2\n\nThe intended audience are researchers and trainees regardless of the specific fields of their research and the focus of their intellectual pursuit\, as well as the general public who are curious about AI and its impact on science and humanity.

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.

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:84303-21621546@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:20250303T063215 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250318T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250318T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Virtual Connect w/ Respiratory Therapy Recruiter at Mayo Clinic (Eau Claire\, WI) DESCRIPTION:Join Mayo Clinic Health System for a Respiratory Therapy Virtual Hiring Event! Are you interested in exploring a life-changing career as a Respiratory Therapist in Eau Claire\,WI?  Currently offering a $10k sign on bonus and minimum of $6k relocation funds for those who qualify! Experienced and New Grad Respiratory Therapist are invited to interview with our hiring team at this upcoming event.  *Please note the interview slots that are listed in Central Time Zone.

To interpret this fact\, we develop an equilibrium search model with endogenous firm pay\, amenities\, and hiring. We provide a constructive proof of identification of all model parameters. The estimated model suggests that amenities are important for both men and women and that compensating differentials explain half of the gender pay gap. Equal-treatment policies partly close gender gaps but are not output- or welfare-improving.

Claims\, Complaints and Democratization of the Local State in India DESCRIPTION:Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/4jqew\n\nThe talk will be based on my book project which examines the effects of rights-based welfare expansion in India on local governance and civic action through a comparison between two accountability systems in the state of Bihar\; Social Audits and the Right to Public Grievance Redress Act. Based on extensive field research conducted across six districts\, the book argues that the ritualization of interactions with citizens who have been historically marginalized\, in rule-based settings\, builds a new legal consciousness within the bureaucracy. The book shows how these new openings in the local state\, which combine organic forms of mobilization with induced forms of participation and recognition of individual and collective claims\, builds political capacities through its use\, incentivizes collective action\, and enlivens local democracy. In large part\, these changes can be attributed to the role of state-sponsored but autonomous facilitation and transforming the conditions under which the state listens.\n\nAnindita Adhikari is a political sociologist whose research interests include social movements\, bureaucracies\, the politics of welfare provisioning and democratic deepening. She has been co-teaching a course on accountability and governance for the MPP programme at NLS since 2021.

The Tang-Song Traduction: The Imperialist Agenda behind Naitō Konan’s (1866-1934) Periodization of Chinese History DESCRIPTION:During the 1910s and 1920s\, the Japanese historian Naitō Konan (1866-1934) published a number of books and articles in which he argued that the “modern age” in East Asia began in the Song dynasty (960-1279 CE). The resulting notion of a structural divide between the “medieval” Tang dynasty (618-907 CE) and the “modern” Song dynasty—the so-called “Tang-Song transition”—became foundational to the historiography of the Tang and Song dynasties in Europe and the United States after the Second World War\, even though few agreed that “modern” was an apt designation for the Song period. As the outline of Naitō’s ideas gained acceptance\, however\, the political context of their origin was forgotten. A re-examination of Naitō’s scholarly and journalistic writings shows that his core concepts and arguments derived less from the primary sources than from debates about the legacy of the Meiji Restoration during the 1910s and debates about the future of Japanese imperialism during the 1920s.\n \n Christian de Pee is Professor of History at the University of Michigan. His books and articles analyze the relationship between text and space\, whether in wedding ritual\, tombs\, cities\, literary genres\, or historiography. His latest book\, \"Urban Life and Intellectual Crisis in Middle-Period China\, 800-1100\" (Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press\, 2022) and his latest article\, “Marco Polo’s Baggage: Manuscripts\, Doubts\, and a Mongol Lady’s Headdress” (Journal of Song-Yuan Studies 53 [2024]) are both freely available through Open Access.

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.

These interactions aren’t fixed\; they shift with changing biotic and abiotic conditions\, making their outcomes challenging to predict. My dissertation explores how temperature\, predators\, and plant rewards mediate species interactions across multiple trophic levels. Through experimental studies on indirect defense mutualisms\, fungal microbiome dynamics\, and pollinator communities\, I examine how ecological context shapes the functioning and outcomes of plant multitrophic interactions. As climate change and biodiversity loss reshape species interactions\, understanding the relationships between these diverse groups is all the more important.

In this talk\, I argue that the allure of so-called “precarious accurate predictions”— those where predictive accuracy masks the problematic nature of the underlying reasoning patterns—poses significant ethical and procedural risks. Drawing on insights from philosophy of mind and psychology\, I highlight two ways in which these predictions falter under scrutiny: through their reliance on stealth proxies and their susceptibility to illusions of depth. These in turn establish two unmet desiderata for the effective integration of predictive analytics in automated decision-making: that predictive models address proxy discrimination beyond statistical correlations and distinguish between superficial and deep causal-explanatory connections among features. The talk ends by underscoring the urgent need for a critical reevaluation of the prospective use of automated predictions in legal processes\, cautioning against their expansion into domains like criminal justice\, where they threaten to erode established rights and safeguards.

Oyster resource managers and NERR staff often rely on conventional on-the-ground monitoring approaches to inform management and restoration decisions\, but these approaches have limitations in that they are time consuming and are of limited spatial scale. In response to users' needs for rapid\, standardized and quantitative measures to assess reef condition – which directs management and restoration actions – this project evaluated uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) as a tool for measuring reef changes within five National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs) from North Carolina to Florida. The imagery analysis workflows developed in partnership with oyster resource managers provide quantitative measures of reef structural and demographic metrics and\, importantly\, changes to those metrics in response to natural and anthropogenic factors. Join this webinar to learn more about this enhanced technical capacity for conducting UAS-based oyster reef assessments.

Two decades later\, controversies about whether pirates were agents of empires or enemies of all persist. Benton moves beyond these debates here to gauge maritime raiding’s wider political valence. A single “piratical” cruise reveals the nineteenth-century Atlantic’s vast political spectrum\, encompassing city-states\, federations\, and empires. In cases sparked by the voyage\, the U.S. Supreme Court sought to narrow the definition of states and war. The voyage meanwhile connected to open-ended constitutional projects in Latin America featuring nation-states as one of many political possibilities. A micro-history of one voyage brings into focus the process by which the international order emerged through political fragmentation. The lessons remain relevant to understandings of global order and non-state violence in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.\n\nLauren Benton is Barton M. Biggs Professor of History and Professor of Law at Yale University. Benton’s most recent book\, “They Called It Peace: Worlds of Imperial Violence\,” was published in 2024 and shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize. Previous books include “Rage for Order: The British Empire and the Origins of International Law\, 1800-1850” (coauthored with Lisa Ford)\; “A Search for Sovereignty: Law and Geography in European Empires\, 1400-1900”\; and “Law and Colonial Cultures: Legal Regimes in World History\, 1400-1900\,” which received the Jerry Bentley Book Prize and the James Willard Hurst Book Prize. In 2019\, Benton was awarded the Toynbee Prize for significant contributions to global history.\n\nRespondents:\nJatin Dua\, University of Michigan\nNathan Perl-Rosenthal\, University of Southern California\nJudith Scheele\, School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) UID:133101-21872389@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133101 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,History,Law LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250318T181547 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250318T160000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Baseball vs Western Michigan DESCRIPTION:Baseball vs Western Michigan UID:133057-21872325@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133057 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Baseball LOCATION:Ray Fisher Baseball Stadium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250307T113054 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250318T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Catalytic strategies for the selective construction of sp3-rich organic scaffolds DESCRIPTION:The topological complexity of sp3-rich scaffolds imparts specific beneficial properties into organic small molecules and enables refined tuning of a molecule’s properties. However\, this complexity amplifies both reactivity and selectivity challenges\, making the development of versatile methods to construct and diversify these structures difficult. By combining fundamental advances in transition metal catalysis with organic synthesis\, we aim to discover new reactions to solve unmet challenges in the construction of functional sp3-rich organic scaffolds. In one area\, we have found that identifying “unconventional” ligand platforms for palladium catalysis leads to new reactivity and selectivity in olefin heteroannulation reactions. In another area\, we have found that copper complexes can promote a range of oxidative radical addition reactions.

Plants constitute an estimated 80% of the biomass on Earth and are concentrated in terrestrial environments. Millions of animal species rely on plants to survive and the organismic design of plants and animals have been tightly interwoven in intricate ways over evolutionary time. Humans are no exception. Plants have been a foundational component of human diets across evolutionary time\, yet many plants can be toxic or even fatal if ingested. In this talk\, I will present research exploring the cognitive systems human infants use to negotiate this paradox and learn which plants they can safely eat.

And even though racism and colonialism are closely linked in the modern era\, the beginnings of colonialism have so far been neglected in this context. This talk will therefore examine Greenland and Fennoscandia before 1500 when\, on the margins of Europe\, the Inuit and Sámi became targets of aggressive colonization and assimilation policies during medieval times. These case studies explore colonialism as a failed project (Greenland) as well as colonialism without a moment zero (Sápmi). \"Colonial Contact Zones and Constructions of Race\" thus challenges current narratives in regards to the development of race and racism in the European Middle Ages.

The painting depicts surgeon J. Marion Sims (generally lionized as the \"father of modern gynecology\") and three of the enslaved Black women on whom he experimented in his effort to treat vesicovaginal fistula. \n \nBrowder founded a museum honoring the women depicted in the painting. Her art reimagined the painting by centering the women who made modern gynecology possible — the \"mothers of gynecology\" — and has spurred needed conversations about the history of gynecology and medical racism. In addition to Ms. Browder\, Drs. Aletha Maybank and Veronica Pimentel will speak\, as will descendants of one of the women depicted in the painting.\n \nThe event will mark the occasion of this painting getting a fitting home\, consider Michigan Medicine's dilemmas over whether/how to display it\, and examine the history of gynecology and medicine more broadly. \n \nRegistration required\, seating is limited. A livestream link will also be available after registration. \n \nQuestions?

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.

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).

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.

However\, the massive adoption of AI in research and the assurance of positive societal impact of the output of such research will be possible only when we can address a multitude of technical and ethical issues\, ensure infrastructure and skill building\, and understand the impact of AI on society’s challenges. Collaboration among researchers and organizations regionally and globally is essential. \n\nIn this symposium\, we bring together world-class researchers to share their vision and work\; share “AI journeys” stories - how University of Michigan researchers have been incorporating AI in their research and the lessons they impart to the audience\; and offer sessions for research brainstorming and skill building. \n\nFor a full schedule of sessions and speakers\, please visit our event page: https://myumi.ch/qVXg2\n\nThe intended audience are researchers and trainees regardless of the specific fields of their research and the focus of their intellectual pursuit\, as well as the general public who are curious about AI and its impact on science and humanity.

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.

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.

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

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818068@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:20250210T123235 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250319T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250319T140000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Book Launch: Halo-Halo Ecologies: The Emergent Environments Behind Filipino Food DESCRIPTION:Join Alyssa Paredes (Assistant Professor\, University of Michigan) and Marvin Montefrio (Associate Professor\, Yale-NUS College) for the release of their upcoming edited collection: Halo-Halo Ecologies: The Emergent Environments behind Filipino Food (https://uhpress.hawaii.edu/title/halo-halo-ecologies-the-emergent-environments-behind-filipino-food/) is a recipe for a new storytelling tradition that combines critical studies of Filipino food and of the environment.\n \n Contributors\n Anacorita O.

Sales\n Thea Kersti Tandog\n Jessie Varquez\n \n It takes as its starting point the metaphor of halo-halo\, the iconic dessert of crushed ice\, jellies\, fruit slices\, and ube jam. Food writers and social historians alike frequently describe this summertime treat as a symbol of Filipino cultural identity for the ways it mixes local and foreign ingredients into a concoction now readily recognized as typically “Pinoy.” But halo-halo is also a product of Philippine ecosystems—that is to say\, it represents an eclectic blend of environmental tales in an ever evolving and highly politicized foodscape. The first of its kind\, Halo-Halo Ecologies brings together a transnational community of food enthusiasts\, engaged scholars\, and social and environmental activists to set the table for a new canon in Philippine and Filipino/Filipinx studies\, and in food studies more broadly. In twelve chapters\, the contributors complicate cultural icons\, like Jollibee Chickenjoy and the sari-sari store\, and bring these into conversation with the scavenging practices of informal settlements in Manila and the agroecological practices of Indigenous Lumad schools. They reveal new challenges in landscapes spanning the mountainous frontiers of Northern Luzon\, the carceral spaces of urban Manila\; the disaster-prone coastal communities of the Visayas\; the hunger-stricken plantation zones of Mindanao\, the ever-changing tides of the archipelago’s waterways\, and the invisibilized ecologies of the diaspora. These are the emergent environments behind Filipino food\, and they compel us to reimagine what\, how\, and why we eat.\n \n Conversation moderated by Deirdre de la Cruz\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621547@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:20250303T153747 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250319T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250319T213000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Wieseneck Symposium on Queer Israeli Culture DESCRIPTION:The Gayle & Larry Wieseneck Symposium is an annual conference hosted by the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies to explore various topics relating to Israel and to look at Israel in multiple contexts. This year\, the 2024-25 Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies\, themed \"Queer/Trans/Jewish\,\" is bringing in scholars from Canada\, Israel\, and all over the USA\, to examine the broad topic of Queer Israeli Culture. Come for just one session\, or stay the whole day! You especially don't want to miss the evening's finale: a special performance by spoken word artist Yossi Zabari (pictured) at 8:30 PM. \n\n\nSESSION 1: MINI-MANUSCRIPT WORKSHOP - 11:00 AM - 2:30 PM (Lunch included for participants. RSVP HERE: https://myumi.ch/R3xkz)\n\nShirly Bahar (Columbia)\, Yigal Nizri (University of Toronto)\, and Frankel Institute Head Fellow Bryan Roby\, will first analyze and discuss pre-circulated material and chapter excerpts. Please RSVP for this workshop to receive the recommended reading. In the second half of this workshop\, Institute Fellow Sivan Rajuan-Shtang and guest scholar Tamar Sella (University of North Texas) will present their working manuscripts for audience feedback. Lunch will be included for workshop participants.\n\n\nSESSION 2: ANTI-TRANS RHETORIC IN ISRAEL IN CONTEMPORARY & HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE - 3 - 4:45 PM\n\nTamar ben David (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev)\, Iris Rachamimov (Frankel Institute)\, and Amal Ziv (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) gather for a Q&A roundtable discussion with symposium participants to discuss anti-trans rhetoric in Israel.\n\n\nSESSION 3: QUEER TEMPORALITY IN ARAB-JEWISH POETRY - 5:30 - 7:15 PM\n\nHow can cultural expression transcend spatial and temporal boundaries to reconnect with distant pasts? This panel with Frankel Institute Head Fellow Bryan Roby and Fellow Oren Yirmiya\, and guest scholar Tamar Sella (University of North Texas) explores how contemporary queer Mizrahi and Arab-Jewish artists with roots in Jewish communities of the Muslim world reimagine and manifest historical periods and geographical spaces through their creative work. Through analysis of poetry\, music\, and performance by artists including Igal Mizrahi\, Yossi Zabbari\, and Loren Milk\, the panelists examine how these creators bridge temporal and spatial distances to manifest seemingly impossible connections between past and present\, here and there.\n\nSESSION 4: SPOKEN WORD PERFORMANCE BY YOSSI ZABARI - 8:30 - 9:30 PM\n\nYossi Zabari is a writer and spoken word artist who has conquered the Internet time and again with viral videos that are catchier than the Black Plague. Zabari is also a theater actor\, stand-up comedian and proud gay father.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

A coherent electromagnetic wave is expected to be induced by dark photons when coupled with Standard-Model photons through kinetic mixing mechanism\, and should be spatially correlated within the de Broglie wavelength of dark photons. I will report the first search for correlated dark-photon signals using a long-baseline network of 15 atomic magnetometers\, which are situated in two separated meter-scale shield rooms with a distance of about 1700 km. Both the network's multiple sensors and the shields large size significantly enhance the expected dark-photon electromagnetic signals\, and long-baseline measurements confidently reduce many local noise sources. Using this network\, we constrain the kinetic mixing coefficient of dark photon dark matter over the mass range 4.1 feV-2.1 peV\, which represents the most stringent constraints derived from any terrestrial experiments operating over the aforementioned mass range.

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

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nIn today’s world\, the ability to consistently innovate and keep delivering hits is more important than ever before. But what are the secrets behind repeat innovation? How do some creators manage to not only break through once but continue to produce innovative work time and time again? In this talk\, Justin Berg will dive deep into the mechanisms that fuel continuous creativity and success. Drawing on his cutting-edge scientific research\, Justin will unveil the patterns\, practices\, and mindsets of those who achieve sustained innovation\, using compelling case studies to bring these concepts to life. He will explore the benefits of building a diverse portfolio of ideas and experiences\, the critical balance between leveraging past successes and venturing into new territories\, and the role of continuity and conviction in overcoming inevitable setbacks.  \n\nAbout Berg:\nJustin Berg is an award-winning researcher and teacher on the science of creativity and innovation. He holds a PhD in management and organizational behavior from The Wharton School\, University of Pennsylvania. After spending a decade on the faculty at the Stanford Graduate School of Business\, he realized his longtime dream of returning to the University of Michigan – his undergraduate alma mater – as a tenured professor at the Ross School of Business. His groundbreaking research reveals how we can identify our own and others’ most promising ideas\, and what differentiates “one-hit wonders” who struggle to repeat their initial success from “hitmakers” who are able to consistently produce successful innovations.\n\nJustin has studied and consulted for a wide range of organizations and industries\, uncovering how to unleash originality in Hollywood films\, songs\, and circus acts\, as well as in Fortune 50 technology companies and manufacturing firms. He has been invited to discuss his pioneering work on top podcasts\, including Hidden Brain and Freakonomics\, and his insights have been featured in BusinessWeek\, The Wall Street Journal\, Fast Company\, The Atlantic\, The Washington Post\, and Harvard Business Review. Prior to graduate school\, Justin was an R&D Consultant for the Center for Positive Organizations at Michigan Ross. During this time\, he led the invention of the Job Crafting™ Exercise (along with Jane Dutton and Amy Wrzesniewski)\, which is a tool that helps people creatively redesign their jobs to be more engaging and fulfilling.\n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and Samuel Zell & Robert H. Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies for their support of the 2024-25 Positive Links Speaker Series.\n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

In this talk\, we will study the notion of non-archimedean periods as introduced by Kontsevich and Soibelman. We will give an overview of the non-archimedean SYZ program\, which is a close analogue of the classical SYZ conjecture in mirror symmetry. Using the non-archimedean SYZ fibration\, we will see how non-archimedean periods recover the complex analytic periods for log Calabi-Yau surfaces\, verifying a conjecture of Kontsevich and Soibelman. This is joint work with Jonathan Lai.

In this talk\, we explore a PDE model of evolutionary game theory with environmental feedback\, describing how the spatial distribution of resource extraction strategies and environmental resources evolve due to reaction terms describing eco-evolutionary game-theoretic dynamics and spatial terms describing diffusion of environmental resources and directed motion of resource harvesters towards regions of greater environmental quality. Through linear stability\, we show that this biased motion towards higher-quality environments can lead to spatial patterns in the distribution of extraction strategies\, creating local regions with improved environmental quality and increase payoff for resource extractors. However\, by measuring the average payoff and environmental quality across the spatial domain\, we see that this pattern-forming mechanism can actually decrease the overall success of the population relative to the equilibrium outcome in the absence of spatial motion. This suggests that environmental-driven motion can produce a spatial social dilemma\, in which biased motion towards more beneficial regions can produce emergent patterns featuring a worse overall environment for the population.

In existing literature\, strategies of players are typically assigned scalar values\, and the concept of Nash equilibrium is used to identify compatible strategies. However\, this approach lacks the internal structure of a player\, thereby failing to accurately model observed behaviors in reality. To address this limitation\, we propose to characterize players by their learning algorithms\, and as their estimations intrinsically induce a distribution over strategies\, we introduced the notion of equilibrium in terms of characterizing the recurrent behaviors of the learning algorithms. This approach allows for a more nuanced understanding of players\, and brings the focus to the challenge of learning that players face. While our explorations in discrete games\, mean-field games\, and reinforcement learning demonstrate the framework's broad applicability\, they also set the stage for future research aimed at specific applications. This is a joint work with Erhan Bayraktar.

During this coffee talk\, we will discuss what role -- if any -- these technologies should play in solving some of our greatest water challenges\, such as floods and droughts. We’ll show how to build a self-driving water system from scratch\, and we will discuss promising case studies across our region\, and beyond. Finally\, we’ll address risks\, challenges\, and nuances of bringing new tech to water management.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nBranko Kerkez\, Arthur F. Thurnau Associate Professor and Associate Department Chair for Research\n\nBranko Kerkez is an Arthur F. Thurnau associate professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at U-M. His research interests include water\, data\, and sensors. Branko is driven by the desire to both rationalize water management decisions\, and put tools into the hands of community members to allow them to contribute to those decisions. The National Academy of Engineering recognized his work in smart water systems in 2018 as a Gilbreth Lecturer. Branko’s Digital Water Lab is untangling the role of tech in water…one sensor at a time! He earned his PhD in 2012 from the University of California\, Berkeley in Civil and Environmental Engineering.\n\nAbout Water@Michigan Coffee Talks: \nCoffee Talks provide a monthly opportunity during the academic year to network\, learn about pressing and emerging water-related issues\, hear about ongoing water-related research\, and meet new partners.

His presentation will include how he started creating art\, his influences\, education\, and the start of his career by stepping\, almost by accident\, into the realm of Indigenous Futurisms. His artwork from the past 10-15 years to current works will be showcased.\n\nRyan Singer is a Diné (Navajo) artist-painter based in Albuquerque\, NM. His artwork draws from his Navajo heritage and incorporates pop culture elements\, including science fiction imagery. Ryan weaves stories from his childhood memories with nostalgic iconography. Although he is associated with the \"Indigenous Futurism\" movement\, he has been drawing Star Wars characters since 1977. He enjoys creating portrait realism of Native subjects with a contemporary appeal\, and his artwork is included in several museum and private collections worldwide. Ryan has received numerous awards from the renowned SWAIA's Santa Fe Indian Market. He earned his BFA in Art Studio from the University of New Mexico\, where he participated in a collaborative lithography class with the Tamarind Institute. He is working on his MFA in Painting & Drawing at the University of New Mexico.\n\nBorn in Cedar City\, Utah\, but originally from Tuba City\, Arizona\, Ryan is of the Tódich’iinii (Bitter Water) clan and born for the Kinya’aani (Towering House) clan. Growing up in various parts of the Navajo Reservation\, Ryan often reflects on his childhood through his depictions of science fiction and pop culture icons. Other notable works include the popular \"Mutton Stew\" painting\, modeled after Andy Warhol's \"Campbell's Tomato Soup Can\" series with a Navajo twist\, and the iconic \"Wagon Burner\,\" which has become his trademark symbol. He has participated in exhibitions featuring this new genre of art and co-curated an exhibition about the \"Long Walk\" with Tony Abeyta at the Navajo Nation Museum.

Institutions are now deeply enmeshed in complex technological systems\, platforms\, and services across all parts of a museum’s operations and practices. Today\, the nature of collections themselves is implicated as they are increasingly ‘born digital.’ These shifts all require highly skilled labor\, new strategies\, policies\, and debate to ensure that the transformations serve the museum’s community and long-term interests.\n\nThis talk will explore trust\, attention\, digital memory\, ephemerality\, and the fragility of new cultural artefacts\, and conversely\, maintenance\, longevity\, and the need for bold pan-institutional and sector-wide initiatives\, new skills\, and literacies.\n\nhttps://ummsp.rackham.umich.edu/tribe-event/museums-technologies-and-civic-transformations/ UID:132845-21871952@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132845 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Film,Graduate School,Interdisciplinary,Media,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Helmut Stern Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250305T120023 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250319T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250319T213000 SUMMARY:Exercise / Fitness:Swing Ann Arbor: Weekly Beginner Lesson + Social Dance DESCRIPTION:Swing Ann Arbor hosts a beginner drop-in lesson and social dance every Wednesday!

Her disposition aligns more closely with that of\, say\, Roger Miller\, Dolly Parton\, or Tom T. Hall\, who once explained—simply\, succinctly\, in a song—“I Witness Life.” Her latest release is the 5-song Mood Ring EP. It was praised by The New York Times\, MOJO and Pitchfork.

Grant uses drag to deliver a treasure trove of disarmingly sincere music.” —No Depression\n\nAward-winning and Billboard-charting artist Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying\, hip-swaying\, singing-songwriting drag queen from western North Carolina. Her 2022 debut record\, Bible Belt Baby\, was nominated for Best Pop Album at the San Diego Music Awards and was named one of the Top Ten Queer Country Albums of 2023 by Rainbow Rodeo Magazine. Flamy is a finalist for Artist of the Year at the 2025 International Folk Music Awards and is a winner of the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition\, a nominee for the 2023 QueerX Award for Best Drag Artist\, and a nominee for the 2023 Queerty Awards Drag Royalty. Both a powerhouse vocalist and an intrepid songwriter\, Flamy blends the evocative art of drag with her iconic mix of country\, gospel\, folk\, and roots music.\n\nIt’s no accident that Flamy’s drag name is an homage to Amy Grant\, the undisputed queen of Christian music and 90s chart-topping pop artist. Much of Flamy’s music centers on the queer spiritual journey\, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma in a world where LGBTQ+ people are frequently ignored by\, harmed in\, or ejected from religious spaces. With a bold lip\, a big lash\, and a blistering voice\, Flamy drags audiences to a soulful\, uplifting church of her own making.

Raised in 12 different states\, he absorbed a variety of musical influences as a child\, flirting with both violin and trombone\, before abandoning Stravinsky for the guitar at age 11. After adding a love for the country-blues of Mississippi John Hurt to the music of John Phillip Sousa and Preston Epps\, Kottke joined the Navy underage\, to be underwater\, and eventually lost some hearing shooting at lightbulbs in the Atlantic while serving on the USS Halfbeak\, a diesel submarine. \n\nKottke had previously entered college at the U of Missouri\, dropping out after a year to hitchhike across the country to South Carolina\, then to New London and into the Navy\, with his twelve string. \"The trip was not something I enjoyed\,\" he has said\, \"I was broke and met too many interesting people.\" Discharged in 1964\, he settled in the Twin Cities area and became a fixture at Minneapolis' Scholar Coffeehouse\, which had been home to Bob Dylan and John Koerner. He issued his 1968 recording debut LP Twelve String Blues\, recorded on a Viking quarter-inch tape recorder\, for the Scholar's tiny Oblivion label. (The label released one other LP by The Langston Hughes Memorial Eclectic Jazz Band.) \n\nAfter sending tapes to guitarist John Fahey\, Kottke was signed to Fahey's Takoma label\, releasing what has come to be called the Armadillo record. Fahey and his manager Denny Bruce soon secured a production deal for Kottke with Capitol Records. \n\nKottke's 1971 major-label debut\, \"Mudlark\,\" positioned him somewhat uneasily in the singer/songwriter vein\, despite his own wishes to remain an instrumental performer. Still\, despite arguments with label heads as well as with Bruce\, Kottke flourished during his tenure on Capitol\, as records like 1972's \"Greenhouse\" and 1973's live \"My Feet Are Smiling\" and \"Ice Water\" found him branching out with guest musicians and honing his guitar technique. \n\nHis collaboration with Phish bassist Mike Gordon\, \"Clone\,\" caught audiences' attention in 2002. Kottke and Gordon followed with a recording in the Bahamas called \"Sixty Six Steps\,\" produced by Leo's old friend and Prince producer David Z. \n\nKottke has been awarded two Grammy nominations\; a Doctorate in Music Performance by the Peck School of Music at the U of Wisconsin\, Milwaukee\; and a Certificate of Significant Achievement in Not Playing the Trombone from the U of Texas at Brownsville with Texas Southmost College.

This is why an artist like Joe Reilly seeks to combine his ordinary work activities with music\, as an activist who\, through his music\, seeks to uplift the spirits of all who listen.” ~Cosmonauta Radio\n\nLearn to Love Again is Joe Reilly’s first non-children’s album in over a decade. Appropriate for all ages\, the album shares the depths of Joe’s spiritual journey of healing and transformation. The first two singles\, Day of Peace (released 1-1-25) and Infinite Hearts - Decolonization Mix (released 2-17-25) are two examples that show the musical and lyrical diversity of the album. \n\nRecorded on the Frog Holler Farm in Brooklyn\, Michigan underneath the summer solstice full moon\, the album features Joe’s band\, The Community Gardeners: Billy King (guitars and piano)\, John Driscoll (drums and vocals)\, Jenny Jones (vocals)\, Lesley-Anne Stone (vocals)\, Chris Good (bass)\, Mark Stone (percussion)\, Chris DiMeglio (trumpet)\, Glen Michael Blair (keyboard)\, as well as guest artists Born I (vocals)\, and Peace Be Free (vocals).\n\nThis special album release concert will include a guided meditation from Dharma teacher Barbara Newell\, who has been a spiritual mentor of Joe’s for many years and who led Joe and The Community Gardeners in guided meditations during the recording process. Also featured will be singer songwriter Elisabeth Pixley-Fink\, fellow member of the Earthwork Music Collective.
