SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Discover and Reflect: Museum Series
DESCRIPTION:About the Discover and Reflect: Museum Series The University of Michigan's theme year of Democracy\, Civic Empowerment\, and Global Engagement\, highlights the vital role of community in sustaining democracy. A core part of democracy is deepening our understanding of both our own history and culture\, as well as those of the people around us. To foster these connections\, the UMSI DEI Office\, UMSI Student Life\, and the Race+Tech group are organizing a series of field trips\, titled Discover and Reflect: Museum Series\, which will take us to local museums that bring these stories to life. \nDiscover and Reflect: Museum Series seeks to educate students on the varied\, complex\, and inspiring cultures that make up our diverse community. These trips also underscore the importance of archives and libraries\, which are integral to both our curriculum and the preservation of diverse histories. Stay tuned for future museum trips!

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. 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

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. This exhibition discusses the question of whether or not enemies and entities can co-exist within a single concept or object through the lens of media\, ranging from film\, music\, video\, installations\, and digital media.\n\nOpen Hours:\nMarch 14\, 4 - 9pm\nMarch 15\, 11am - 5pm\nMarch 16\, 11am - 4pm\n\nPresented by Eva Choi (@drmnchld)\, BFA student in Performing Arts Technology\, with support from U-M ArtsEngine.

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

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.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Pianist HieYon Choi
DESCRIPTION:Guest artist Hie-Yon Choi\, Professor at the Peabody Conservatory of Music\, will present a master class for University of Michigan piano students. Free and open to the public.\n\nOne of the most sought-after pianists of her generation\, South Korean pianist HIEYON CHOI first appeared on the international piano music scene when she won prizes at high-profile competitions such as Kapell\, Epinal\, Busoni and Viotti. 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. Her second cycle of all Beethoven piano sonatas took place in various venues in Korea\, Germany and the US until 2018. Choi‘s other series of performances include ones that explored Brahms and his associates and that of French school. She has been collaborating with renowned musicians such as Truls Mørk\, Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi\, Peter Stumph\, Mark Kosower\, Romain Guyot\, Stephan Dohr\, Ulf Wallin\, Mikyung Lee\, Soovin Kim.\n\nAlongside the canon of the classical piano literature such as Beethoven\, Schubert\, Brahms and Debussy\, Music of 20th & 21st century forms another important part of Choi’s career. A strong advocate of the new music\, she was the inaugural Artist-in-Residence of Tong-Yeong International Music festival. She performed works of Olivier Messiaen\, György Kurtag\, Sofia Gubaidulina\, York Höller\, Unsuk Chin\, Suhki Kang a. o. with the Seoul Philharmonic.  \n\nRecently Choi completed her long journey of recording entire Beethoven piano sonatas. Her first two Beethoven albums were released in 2018 and in 2021 retrospectively by Decca Korea and UMG and they were highly noted by German and Korean magazine/papers. The entire set of Beethoven piano sonatas are to be released in the upcoming year. Her other recordings include *Debussy Douze Etudes*\, *F. Liszt Six Grand Etudes on Paganini*\, *Isang Yun 5 Stücke*\, *Chopin Etudes Op. 10 & Op. 25*. Choi appeared and performed in TV & radio channels in Korea\, US\, Italy\, Switzerland\, Sweden and in Germany. \n\nIn 2023/24 HieYon Choi joined the piano faculty at Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore\, US\, after having served for 24 years as tenured piano professor at Seoul National University in Korea. Choi has been giving numerous master classes worldwide\; the Guildhall School in London\, Ecole Normale in Paris\, Sibelius Academy in Helsinki\, the Hochschule Freiburg\, Karlsruhe\, Düsseldorf in Germany\, Music School of Manhattan\, Cincinnati\, Michigan in the US\, Performing Arts Hong-Kong\, China and in summer festivals in Italy\, France\, Korea and in the US. Choi also serves as a jury member at international competitions such as Beethoven\, Maj Lind\, Pozzoli\, Epinal and Orléans. \n\nBorn in Inchon\, South Korea\, Choi gave her debut concert at the age of 6 with the Incheon Philharmonic Orchestra. She won all four most coveted competitions in Korea (Dong-A\, Choong-Ang\, Korea Times\, Ehwa-KyungHyang) under the early tutelage of Prof. Joong-Won Koh and moved to Germany at the age of 18 to study with Prof. Klaus Hellwig at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin. The late Prof. Hans Leygraf at the same institute and the late Prof. György Sebök at Indiana University were further source of inspiration to her.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Connecting Across Diaspora: Black Identity and Experiences in Global Public Health Research and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Our 38th Annual Health Equity Conference\, “Connecting Across Diaspora: Black Identity and Experiences in Global Public Health Research and Practice\,” will be held at the Michigan League on Saturday\, March 15\, 2025. This conference aims to explore the intersections of Black racial identity\, belonging\, and cultural humility in community-based work within the context of global public health research and practice. It will focus on understanding how Black researchers—across the Black diaspora—engage with and collaborate with Black populations both in their home countries and abroad. As the field of public health becomes increasingly interconnected\, Black public health researchers and practitioners face unique challenges and opportunities as they navigate the cultural\, social\, and political complexities of engaging with diverse Black communities. This conference will provide a platform for critical discussions and reflections on how concepts of belonging\, cultural humility\, and racial solidarity manifest in global public health research and practice\, and how these dynamics shape the experiences of Black researchers and community members worldwide.\n\nAgenda9:00 AM - 9:15 AM -- Opening Remarks & Welcome Address9:15 AM - 10:15 AM -- Keynote Speaker/ Question & Answer Session10:15 AM - 10:45 AM -- Morning Break & Networking11:00 AM - 12:00 PM -- Lighting talks12:00 PM - 1:00 PM -- Lunch & Networking1:15 PM - 2:15 PM -- Panel (Q&A style)2:20 PM - 3:20 PM -- Reflective & Positionality Workshop3:20 PM-3:30 PM -- Closing Remarks\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Intro to Puppetry presents \"Biki's Marvelous Migration\"
DESCRIPTION:Students from THTREMUS 285: Intro to Puppetry will create 5 short puppet shows on the theme of migration\, to be performed in various locations around North Campus. Each team will also develop a soundscape for each location that will be live broadcast via QR code in real time (like a silent disco)\, so bring some headphones!\n\nViewers can attend the shows in any order. The migratory pattern is circular\, dynamic\, even recursive. This reflects the theme: migration is less a predictable\, orderly flow than a complex process subject to social\, political\, environmental and other pressures.\n\nMeet Biki outside and around the Walgreen Drama Center. Then follow Biki's adventures to the Moore building and beyond.\n\nFree and open to the public\, rain or shine!

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. Her second cycle of all Beethoven piano sonatas took place in various venues in Korea\, Germany and the US until 2018.

The entire set of Beethoven piano sonatas are to be released in the upcoming year. Her other recordings include *Debussy Douze Etudes*\, *F. Liszt Six Grand Etudes on Paganini*\, *Isang Yun 5 Stücke*\, *Chopin Etudes Op. 10 & Op. 25*. Choi appeared and performed in TV & radio channels in Korea\, US\, Italy\, Switzerland\, Sweden and in Germany. \n\nIn 2023/24 HieYon Choi joined the piano faculty at Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore\, US\, after having served for 24 years as tenured piano professor at Seoul National University in Korea. Choi has been giving numerous master classes worldwide\; the Guildhall School in London\, Ecole Normale in Paris\, Sibelius Academy in Helsinki\, the Hochschule Freiburg\, Karlsruhe\, Düsseldorf in Germany\, Music School of Manhattan\, Cincinnati\, Michigan in the US\, Performing Arts Hong-Kong\, China and in summer festivals in Italy\, France\, Korea and in the US.

SUMMARY:Performance:Shamel Pitts | TRIBE
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 2019 by American choreographer and performer Shamel Pitts\, an alumnus of Batsheva Dance Company\, TRIBE is an arts collective composed of international and local artists working across mediums to create a platform for artists of color.\n\nThe collective’s work is inspired by the Afrofuturism movement\, which strives to tell new stories and create a brighter future that is different\, and shines more luminously\, from its past. 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)

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. 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

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. This exhibition discusses the question of whether or not enemies and entities can co-exist within a single concept or object through the lens of media\, ranging from film\, music\, video\, installations\, and digital media.\n\nOpen Hours:\nMarch 14\, 4 - 9pm\nMarch 15\, 11am - 5pm\nMarch 16\, 11am - 4pm\n\nPresented by Eva Choi (@drmnchld)\, BFA student in Performing Arts Technology\, with support from U-M ArtsEngine.

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

SUMMARY:Performance:Billy King
DESCRIPTION:As a seasoned performer\, songwriter\, and recording artist\, Billy King's presence in the independent music scene brings an original blend of rootsy folk/pop with an occasional touch of country swing.\n\nIn the early 1990s\, Billy led his two-member band\, the preteen King Brothers\, to local fame in the Ann Arbor area\, performing regularly and releasing five albums of mostly original material. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Multiracial Families: Increasing Rapidly
DESCRIPTION:This digital exhibit in the Shapiro Lobby showcases research about and narratives from people across the globe who are part of mixed race families.\n\nIn 1967\, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Loving v. Virginia case that marriage across racial lines was legal throughout the country. Intermarriage has increased steadily since then: one in five U.S. newlyweds (19%) were married to a person of a different race or ethnicity in 2019\, a more than sixfold increase from 3% in 1967 (Pew Research Center\, 2022).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Situation Awareness and Trust Methods for Improving Human-Robot Team Performance
DESCRIPTION:RSVP requested.\n\nFRB 2300 and Zoom (passcode: mavric).\n\nCo-chairs: Dawn Tilbury and Lionel Robert\n\nAbstract:\nThe field of human-robot interaction is dedicated to understanding how humans interact with robots\, and developing interventions to enable desirable interactions. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Promoting Co-Adaptation in Human Interaction with Powered Upper Limb Exoskeletons
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Leia Stirling\nIOE 2717 and Zoom\n\nPowered robotic exoskeletons offer great promise in assisting elderly or disabled individuals with daily activities or augmenting healthy individuals in performing labor-intensive tasks. 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

SUMMARY:Performance:Arab American Heritage Month Carillon Recital by Drs. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cutting through the complexity: Why not just use a lottery for college admissions?
DESCRIPTION:Many prominent social scientists have advocated for random-draw lotteries as a solution to the “problem” of college admissions. They argue that lotteries will be fair and equitable\, eliminate corruption\, reduce student anxiety\, restore democratic ideals\, and end debates over race-conscious admissions. In response\, we simulate potential lottery effects on student enrollment by race\, gender\, and income\, using robust simulation methods.  If we went to a lottery system\, what would happen to student diversity?  And how would this change the built relationship between students and selective colleges?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Architectures for Safe Autonomy: Provable Guarantees Across Control\, Planning\, and Perception
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Dimitra Panagou\n\nAbstract\nThis thesis addresses the design of safety-critical autonomous systems - systems that must always satisfy a set of safety constraints. 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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cecilia Howard Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Microbial ecosystems have shaped and been shaped by Earth’s environments since the origin of life\, and microbial sediments and rocks (“microbialites”) can both inform our understanding of the past and complicate our records of it. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense // From Museums to Islands: How Species Interactions Affect Cryptic Traits
DESCRIPTION:Hayley Crowell\, EEB PhD student\, presents their dissertation defense.\n\nSummary: Our understanding of ecology and evolution depends on organismal traits we can detect and quantify. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar |   PROSPECT-I final oscillation results and PROSPECT-II physics goals and detector design
DESCRIPTION:The Precision Reactor Oscillation and SPECTrum (PROSPECT) experiment is a short-baseline reactor experiment built to measure the antineutrino spectrum from the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). 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.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:International Students Career Series: How to Navigate Small Talk
DESCRIPTION:In the United States\, many people participate in what is called \"small talk\"\, where you make conversation with strangers or acquaintances about non-controversial topics\, such as the weather\, sports\, or popular television shows. “Small talk” is one of the ways in American culture to chat about harmless topics in order to establish a connection and start to build a friendship. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG: Unitary Shimura Varieties
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk introduces the setting of the Kulda program we will study throughout the rest of the semester: unitary Shimura varieties.  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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Seminar Series: Andrew Todd
DESCRIPTION:Throughout its history\, autism has been conceptualized as a mostly male condition. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg Lecture: In Situ Probe of Structure and Dynamics at Metal electrode/Electrolyte Interface: Interfacial Field\, Electro-induction Effect\, and Hot Electron Transfer
DESCRIPTION:Structure and dynamics of electric double layer (EDL)\, the sub-nanometer region at the electrode/electrolyte interface\, are essential to the function and performance of many energy conversion and storage devices\, ranging from electrolyzers\, photoelectrochemical cells\, fuel cells to batteries. 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.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:ISRMT Seminar: Long-Time Asymptotics of Solutions to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili I Equation
DESCRIPTION:We establish the long-time asymptotics for solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili I (KP I) equation (u_t+6uu_x+u_{xxx})_x = 3 u_{yy} with small initial data\, using the inverse scattering transform formalism developed by Zhou. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Panel Discussion | Being Korean\, Becoming Japanese?: Nationhood\, Citizenship\, And Resistance In Japan
DESCRIPTION:This hybrid panel discussion is a celebration of Hwaji Shin’s new book\, *Being Korean\, Becoming Japanese?: Nationhood\, Citizenship\, and Resistance in Japan.* This book is available in print and through open access.\n   \n   If you would like to attend virtually\, please register for the Zoom at https://myumi.ch/dgNX8\n   \n   The panel will be followed by a reception in the Lane Hall lobby.\n   \n   Participants:\n   Hwaji Shin\, Professor of Sociology\, University of San Francisco and former Toyota Visiting Professor\, University of Michigan\n   David Jacobson\, Professor of Sociology\, University of South Florida\n   Macario Garcia\, Assistant Professor of Anthropology\, Kennesaw State University\n   \n   In Japan\, the number of “Special Permanent Residents”—most of whom are of Korean descent\, the so-called “Zainichi”—is declining\, according to government statistics. 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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STeMS Speaker Series | Ecology Against Empire: Spiders\, Sex\, and Feminist Field Science
DESCRIPTION:Ashton's talk is based on her current book project\, Anti-colonial Arachnology--an examination of the gendered and racialized dynamics of how knowledge is produced about animal mating behavior. 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.

SUMMARY:Meeting:Student Combinatorics: Cluster Geometry and Ensembles
DESCRIPTION:In their 2003 paper\, Fock and Goncharov described two distinct ways of associating cluster algebras with certain spaces. One is associated with the standard cluster algebra mutation\, and the other with the Y-pattern mutation. They often have a dual relationship with each other. We explore these concepts and mention how they relate to flag moduli spaces.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Intelligent Hand\, from Hellenistic Epigram to the Hoby Cups
DESCRIPTION:This lecture takes its lead from the artist who signed his name on the silver cups from Hoby (now in the National Museum of Denmark) as ‘Cheirisophos’\, meaning ‘Wise Hand’. 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).

SUMMARY:Film Screening:ASC Film Screening and Fireside Chat: *The People's Uncle* by Kavena Hambira
DESCRIPTION:About the film:\nAfter the murder of his nephew Oscar Grant by a BART police officer in 2009\, Cephus “Uncle Bobby” Johnson emerged as a national social justice activist. 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

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. She continues work on digital and public history.

Imagining a solution\, seeing it come to life and have real impact on a client's business and brand just never gets old.”

DESCRIPTION:This digital exhibit in the Shapiro Lobby showcases research about and narratives from people across the globe who are part of mixed race families.\n\nIn 1967\, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Loving v. Virginia case that marriage across racial lines was legal throughout the country. Intermarriage has increased steadily since then: one in five U.S. newlyweds (19%) were married to a person of a different race or ethnicity in 2019\, a more than sixfold increase from 3% in 1967 (Pew Research Center\, 2022).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. 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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:2025 AI in Science and Engineering Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) promises an enormous potential to transform academic research to “mass produce” human knowledge and enable humans to address research questions and engineering challenges that were previously unfathomable. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Join the 2024-25 Frankel Institute Fellows for three panels featuring guest scholars from the USA\, Canada\, and Israel\, all exploring various intersections of their respective studies under this year's theme\, \"Queer/Trans/Jewish.\" \n\n\nPANEL 1: TRANS BEFORE THE \"MODERN\" - 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM\nModerator: Simone Stirner\nPresenters: Jessie deGrado\, Dorothy Kim (Brandeis University)\, Scott Larson\, Rafe Neis\, Max Strassfeld\n\nPanel participants will engage in a conversation on several themes at the intersection of transing\, asexuality\, and Judaic studies in the premodern era. Questions will include how studying the past can denaturalize modern-contemporary gender categories\, how transing as an approach is distinct from contemporary definitions of trans-ness\, and how a trans framework can help us problematize the category of modernity itself\n\n\nPANEL 2: TRANS EMBODIMENT IN MODERNITY - 1:30 - 3:30 PM\nModerator: Sheer Ganor\nPresenters: Rafael Balling\, Gil Engelstein\, and Shira Schwartz (Northwestern University)\n\nThis panel explores questions and debates that emerge at the axis of Jewish and trans experiences in the modern world. Reflecting through their research expertise and beyond\, speakers will discuss themes including visibility and its discontents\, linkages\, and tensions between trans and Jewish identities\, and the challenges that communities face in light of unprecedented attacks on trans people.\n\n\nPANEL 3: QUEER THEORY - 4:30 - 6:30 PM\nModerated by Rovel Sequeira\nPresented by Adi Saleem and Amal Ziv\n\n\nPlease RSVP for the conference here: https://forms.gle/LMxfURuR5vaKGAy97

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. 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

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Gender Pay Gap: Micro Sources and Macro Consequence (with Iacopo Morchio)
DESCRIPTION:Using linked employer-employee data from Brazil\, we document a large gender pay gap due to women working at lower-paying employers. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Center for Emerging Democracies Lecture. 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. Her research and teaching is motivated and informed by 15 years of public action work embedded in diverse policy settings. She has been associated with the Right to Work\, Right to Information\, and Right to Food campaigns. She has previously worked with the Government of Bihar and the Ministry of Rural Development on employment\, social security\, and land issues. She co-founded the  organization ‘Social Accountability Forum for Action and Research’ (SAFAR) in 2022 that works on strengthening transparency and accountability in public service delivery in collaboration with state and national governments and civil society. \n\nYamini Aiyar was the president and chief executive of the Centre for Policy Research\, New Delhi\, a public policy research think tank. She was appointed President of CPR in 2017. She was previously a senior research fellow and founder\, in 2008\, of the Accountability Initiative at the centre.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Hot\, salty\, scary: Exploring the biotic and abiotic mediators of multitrophic interactions
DESCRIPTION:Species don’t exist in isolation—they constantly interact with one another in ways that range from mutualistic to antagonistic\, shaping ecosystems and evolution. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Getting Started with Community Engaged Research
DESCRIPTION:Community-engaged research is a valuable\, high impact methodology that can contribute to the University of Michigan’s mission of developing new academic knowledge while advancing the public good. Community-engaged research encompasses a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches\, but what this body of work shares is substantive involvement of community partners in creating\, translating\, and disseminating knowledge that strengthens the well-being of communities and broader society.  Ginsberg Center’s Getting Started with Community-Engaged Research will introduce you to definitions\, spectrums\, and some frameworks of community-engaged research\, including examples from multiple disciplines. Participants will consider how to apply these workshop concepts to their own research\, and leave the workshop with tools to begin to approach this work ethically and equitably.\n\nThis session is designed especially for participants who are new to or interested in community-engaged research at Michigan. \n\nOpen to faculty\, staff\, admin\, and post-docs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:KIS Lecture: Gabbrielle Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Location: 2271 Angell Hall\nTitle: Precarious Accurate Predictions in Automated Decision-Making\n\nAbstract: \nWith the rising temptation to rely on automated decision-making\, mere predictive accuracy increasingly becomes the standard. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: Using Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) to Assess Oyster Reefs to Inform Management and Restoration
DESCRIPTION:In the southeastern U.S.\, intertidal oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reefs are primarily managed by state agencies in support of recreational and commercial fisheries\, as well as for their ecosystem services. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2025 Sylvia Thrupp Lecture (Presented by Comparative Studies in Society and History)
DESCRIPTION:Lauren Benton’s 2005 CSSH article mapped piracy’s imperial role and challenged the romanticized view of pirates as legal outcasts in the early modern world. 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)

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.

DESCRIPTION:About 27 years ago Allcock found a ball quotient of dimension 13\, which is intriguing for at least two reasons: its expected connections with some of the sporadic finite simple groups (such as the Monster group) and the likelihood of it having a modular interpretation. I shall first review some known examples of modular  ball quotients and then describe recent progress on the moonshine properties of this ball quotient.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EHAP Lecture Series: How Infants Learn To Eat Plants (And Why They May Not Want To)
DESCRIPTION:Life is mostly plants. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MEMS Special Lecture: Colonial Contact Zones and Constructions of Race in Greenland and Sapmi\, 900-150
DESCRIPTION:The question when racism originated has been a matter of fierce debate among medievalists in recent years. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mindful Movement: Workshop for Adults
DESCRIPTION:Today’s world is fast-paced\, with pressures to always be on the go and up-to-date\, which can be exhausting\, overwhelming\, and lead to feeling out of balance with our own mind-body connection.

This includes adults who may already have a mindfulness practice\, and/or those who struggle with anxiety\, depression\, and being grounded in the present moment.\n+ When: 5:30-7 p.m. on Tuesdays\, beginning on March 11.\n+ How long: Each weekly session lasts 90 minutes\, for 8 weeks.\n+ Where: Virtually\, on Zoom.\n+ How to Register: Each participant must complete a 30-minute screening appointment to ensure the group is a good fit for their needs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Mothers of Gynecology - An Evening with Artist Michelle Browder and Friends
DESCRIPTION:This event is organized around the upcoming loan of a Robert Thom painting from Michigan Medicine’s collection to artist Michelle Browder. 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? Please contact Heidi Mueller at (734) 647-6914 or muellerh@umich.edu \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Multiracial Families: Increasing Rapidly
DESCRIPTION:This digital exhibit in the Shapiro Lobby showcases research about and narratives from people across the globe who are part of mixed race families.\n\nIn 1967\, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Loving v. Virginia case that marriage across racial lines was legal throughout the country. Intermarriage has increased steadily since then: one in five U.S. newlyweds (19%) were married to a person of a different race or ethnicity in 2019\, a more than sixfold increase from 3% in 1967 (Pew Research Center\, 2022).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. 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.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:2025 AI in Science and Engineering Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) promises an enormous potential to transform academic research to “mass produce” human knowledge and enable humans to address research questions and engineering challenges that were previously unfathomable. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Breaking with Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Artist John Rizzo is exhibiting individual mixed-media sculptures that bridge across art\, design\, and craft. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. 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

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. Abasolo\n   Inigo Acosta\n   Maria Carinnes Alejandria\n   Tami Alvarez\n   Mary Jill Ira Banta\n   Jose Kervin C.B. Calabias\n   Dana M.

Montefrio\n   Alyssa Paredes\n   Cla Ruzol\n   Joshua Ezekiel C. 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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

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

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.

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).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Search for dark photons with synchronized quantum sensor network
DESCRIPTION:**Please note special day and time**\n\nUltralight dark photons constitute a well-motivated candidate for dark matter. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. 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.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: Becoming a Hitmaker: The Science of Repeat Innovation\nJustin Berg\nWednesday\, March 19\, 2025\n1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required to obtain login information\nOnline\n\nEvent link:\nhttps://positiveorgs.bus.umich.edu/events/becoming-a-hitmaker-the-science-of-repeat-innovation/\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Love in the Time of War: Resettlement and Sponsorship
DESCRIPTION:The 1970s and 1980s ushered an overwhelming influx of Southeast Asian refugees to the United States because of the Secret War in Laos\, the genocide and civil war in Cambodia\, and the American War in Vietnam. This was also a time of protest for peace\, Jimmy Carter was president\, and there were supportive programs and faith-based communities who wanted to welcome and resettle refugees. \n\nPhung Huynh\, Los Angeles-based artist will be joined by her godmother\, Karen Jorgenson who sponsored Huynh’s family to come to the United States in 1978. In an intimate conversation\, Phung Huynh and Karen Jorgenson will share their stories and tender moments during the Huynh family’s early years in the United States. This reunion of sponsor and sponsee centers on compassion\, healing\, humanity\, and most importantly\, building new families in the time of war. \n\nFor information on Phung Huynh's exhibition Angkorian Homecoming at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery\, visit https://lsa.umich.edu/humanities/gallery/current-exhibitions/phung-huynh.html.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Non-archimedean periods for log Calabi-Yau surfaces
DESCRIPTION:Period integrals are a fundamental concept in algebraic geometry and number theory. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Spatial Pattern Formation in Eco-Evolutionary Games with Environment-Driven Motion
DESCRIPTION:The sustainable management of common resources often leads to a social dilemma known as the tragedy of the commons: individuals benefit from rapid extraction of resources\, while communities as a whole benefit from more sustainable extraction strategies. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Uncertain Games
DESCRIPTION:This work provides a unified framework for exploring games. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Water@Michigan March Coffee Talk
DESCRIPTION:Talk Description: \n In the era of AI\, self-driving cars\, digital assistants\, and other “smart” things\, can the same level of autonomy and intelligence be embedded in water systems? 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop that introduces principles and practices of equitable\, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.\n\n**This workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering\, Engaging\, and Exiting (E3) session. If you’ve attended that session in the past\, you’ll gain additional knowledge from this session.**\n\nRegister for a Session Here: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/16509

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Indigenous Futurism
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Signer will share his humble beginnings and journey into the art world. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Museums\, Technologies and Civic Transformations
DESCRIPTION:Predictably\, the first quarter of the 21st century has seen museums significantly transformed by media technology and networked society\, yet often this has been viewed as institutions reacting to\, rather than leading change. 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/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. 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.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Angkorian Homecoming
DESCRIPTION:Informed by her experience as a refugee\, Phung Huynh’s projects explore the complexities of displacement\, assimilation\, and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. 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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Adaptive Methods for High-Order Aerodynamic Shape Optimization
DESCRIPTION:Aerodynamic shape optimization has the potential to fully automate the aerodynamic design process. The optimizer relies heavily on a robust\, accurate\, and efficient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. High-order CFD methods have the potential to provide high-accurate solutions but rely on adaptation for robustness and efficiency to strategically distribute degrees of freedom to minimize error for a given cost.\n\nThis dissertation closes many gaps preventing the widespread adoption of high-order methods in shape optimization. A novel curved mesh adaptation method is developed that performs metric-based adaptation on curved meshes improving robustness. An algorithm is developed to adapt the mesh during optimization that balances optimization cost and adaptation cost while ensuring accuracy at the optimum. These methods enable cost effective and accurate optimization.\n\nDate/Location:\nMarch 20th\, 2025 | 10:00 am EDT | FXB 1044\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95480752465  | passcode: adapt

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Rational equivalences from hyperelliptic curves
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The Chow group of zero-cycles of a variety X points can roughly be described as follows: the generators are closed points of X\, and the relations\, also known as rational equivalences\, are divisors of rational functions on curves in X. In general\, it can be very difficult to tell whether a given zero-cycle is trivial in the Chow group\, and the structure of the Chow group as a whole is very mysterious. Deep conjectures due to Bloch and Beilinson give some indication of what the structure should be and which zero-cycles should vanish\, but very little has been proven in this direction.\n\nIn this talk we will focus on certain abelian surfaces A\, and discuss a collection of methods that can take one of the zero-cycles that is predicted to vanish in Chow and verify that it is indeed a rational equivalence. The key idea behind these methods is a relation between hyperelliptic curves in A and rational curves in the Kummer surface of A. This is joint work with Evangelia Gazaki.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:In-person Arabic Placement test_March 20\, 2025 (10:00am-1:00pm)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test is approximately two hours and a half in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.\nImportant: a. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.b. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.Where can I view my results?c. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.d. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) may be offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.* Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) is offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Presentation:Dissertation Defense: Thurston Theory for a Family of Chebyshev Polynomials and Cosine Maps
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nA cornerstone of complex dynamics is William Thurston's topological characterization of rational functions\, which provides a way to understand when topological objects are realized as geometric objects. These topological objects are finite degree branched maps of the topological sphere S^2 and the geometric objects are holomorphic maps of the Riemann sphere \hat{\mathbb{C}}\, both of which are postcritically finite (i.e.\, the set of points in the orbit of the critical points is finite). We apply this framework to study a one-parameter family of modified Chebyshev polynomials from a dynamical and nondynamical perspective. Our interest in this family comes from the property that it approximates a one-parameter cosine family. This ties into a natural question that has arisen: can Thurston's characterization be extended to entire transcendental maps? In this setting\, the analog of postcritically finite maps are postsingularly finite maps on the complex plane \mathbb{C}\, but for our cosine family\, these notions coincide. Our work is based on the major breakthrough of Hubbard\, Schleicher\, and Shishikura in their characterization of exponential maps. We adapt their techniques for our cosine family to prove a partial characterization of postsingularly finite topological cosine maps.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: David Lodge
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: Researchers often assume that the value of research in solving problems is self-evident. Yet most research does not lead to solutions\, even when the proposals that launched the research promised solutions. University and government researchers could address this longtime peril by including clear theories of change in project development\, and co-creating and co-executing projects across disciplines and sectors. This would require alignment of funding and infrastructure to support such mission-driven research. In a rapidly changing government landscape\, I will examine past examples of the role of research and technology development in driving change in policies\, practices\, and products. While I do not promise to resolve all the promises and perils\, I will suggest some possible ways forward for solutions-oriented sustainability research in government and universities.\n\nAbout the speaker: Dr. David M. Lodge is the Francis J. DiSalvo director of Cornell University’s Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability. He is an internationally recognized environmental scientist\, with expertise in environmental risk assessment\, freshwater and marine coastal ecology\, ecosystem services\, bioeconomics\, and invasive species. His research has improved ecological forecasting to better inform environmental risk assessment\, natural resource management\, and policy development. Lodge is a leader in the development and application of environmental DNA (eDNA)\, a transformative technological tool for discovering unrecognized biodiversity\, censusing aquatic biodiversity\, and improving the management of imperiled\, invasive\, or harvested species. He is past president of the Ecological Society of America\, and former senior science advisor in the US Department of State’s Office of Polar Affairs. On numerous occasions he has testified before the U.S. Congress\, and served as an expert witness in federal court. He is faculty member in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University.

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).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Seminar Series: What does Urban Psychology tell us about implicit biases?
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Stier holds a PhD in Integrative Neuroscience from the University of Chicago\, a Masters in Psychology and a BA in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Chicago and is currently at the Santa Fe Institute. Andrew’s research in Urban Psychology takes advantage of cities’ regularities to study human behavior and of the inner workings of large-scale complex systems. He uses these models as a starting point to develop a theoretical framework that comprehensively explains emergent human behavior across scales\, from individual brain function to entire urban areas.\n\nAbstract\nAre people less racist in Santa Fe or Ann Arbor? Are people more or less depressed in larger cities? Are attention spans shorter in busy urban areas? Urban Psychology is the study of how the built environment of cities influences human behavior and causes psychological adaptations at the individual level. In this talk\, I will discuss the results of my research extending Urban Scaling Theory models to better understand how cities shape human psychology. I will (1) briefly review how cities systematically influence mental health and cognition\, and (2) discuss what I have learned applying urban psychology models to understand implicit biases. I will present mathematical models\, backed up by real-world and experimental (i.e.\, laboratory) data\, which demonstrate that people are less depressed\, more attentive\, and less racist (i.e.\, have lower implicit racial biases) in larger cities. In addition\, I will demonstrate that implicit biases change more slowly in larger cities than smaller cities\, despite the fact that biases are lower in larger cities. Finally\, I will discuss the implications of this observation for large-scale cultural change and the effectiveness of individual-level bias interventions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Spatial Sorting of Workers and Firms
DESCRIPTION:Why do productive workers and firms locate together in dense cities? I develop a new theory of two-sided sorting in which both heterogeneous workers and firms sort across space. The location choices of workers and firms affect each other and endogenously generate spatial disparities in the presence of three essential forces: complementarity between worker and firm productivity\, random matching within frictional local labor markets\, and congestion costs. I demonstrate that the decentralized equilibrium exhibits excessive concentration of workers and firms\, and dispersing them away from dense locations can mitigate congestion without reducing output. I then provide direct empirical evidence of the two-sided sorting mechanism using German administrative microdata. An exogenous increase in the quality of the workforce in a location results in more productive firms choosing that location. Finally\, to quantify the implications of the model\, I calibrate it to U.S. regional data and show that policies that relocate workers and firms toward less dense areas can increase welfare.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:We Can’t Solve a Puzzle without Knowing the Picture: Characterizing Doctoral Engineering Attrition\, Persistence\, and Thriving to Reconceptualize Graduate Educational Systems
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Though graduate students in engineering are understudied compared with undergraduate education\, the intersection of sociological and psychological factors predicting attrition (i.e.\, leaving a program of study) for graduate students is particularly unexplored. The Council of Graduate Schools report that in doctoral engineering programs\, ten-year degree completion rates are only 56% and 65% for women and men\, respectively. Persistence rates for students from historically marginalized racial groups are lower than 50%.  The lack of “socialization” is generally noted as a main reason for doctoral attrition\; however\, few researchers seek to understand and characterize the socialization process in graduate engineering students and how the mechanisms of attrition or persistence work within a single disciplinary setting. Propagated by a lack of research\, administrators\, faculty\, and graduate advisors often work to “solve” retention given their anecdotal experiences with graduate students\, rather than understanding the entire picture surrounding graduate student attrition\, persistence\, and career trajectories.\n \nThis seminar will present results from several of my ongoing studies\, including an NSF RFE grant exploring how various “invisible” competencies such as academic writing can impact persistence and career trajectories and the most current findings from my NSF CAREER grant\, characterizing master’s-level departure from the engineering PhD. Though doctoral attrition and consideration of leaving is common (our work shows that approximately 70% of engineering PhD students consider or strongly consider leaving)\, students often feel isolated\, thinking they are alone and hesitant to discuss their issues with either their peers or their advisors.  My team’s research across several funded projects weaves together to support a more nuanced and accurate understanding of the processes involved in attrition—including how graduate students come to consider whether they should depart from their PhD\; how various sociological or structural factors interact with psychological issues in graduate students\; and how thriving is different than surviving.  Ultimately\, my research platform breaks new ground in understanding issues related to doctoral and graduate student success\, while also developing new and innovative methods to collect and visualize data about attrition processes.\n\nBiography: Catherine Berdanier is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University. She earned her B.S. in Chemistry from The University of South Dakota\, her M.S. in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering Education from Purdue University. Catherine is also the Director of the online World Campus Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) Program.  She directs the Engineering Cognitive Research Laboratory (E-CRL)\, which focuses attention on graduate-level engineering education research and methodological development. She is a winner of an NSF CAREER grant studying Master’s-level departure from the engineering doctorate\, a 2025 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) winner\, and is PI and co-PI of 8  other NSF-funded research grants. In total\, she has over ten years of experience and expertise in studying graduate-level engineering education\, which will be the main focus of the featured research presentation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:899 Seminar Series: Holden. Lee\, Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:Presenter Bio\nHolden Lee is an assistant professor of applied mathematics and statistics at Johns Hopkins University\, working on theoretical machine learning and applied probability. His research focuses on mathematical foundations for sampling algorithms and generative modeling\, with applications to language models. He was a co-organizer for the NeurIPS 2024 workshop on Creativity & Generative AI. He obtained his Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton.\n\nAbstract\nMultimodal distributions such as mixture models pose significant challenges for both learning and sampling algorithms\, but score-based and diffusion models have enjoyed widespread empirical success on these problems. How can we understand their success from a theoretical perspective?\nFor learning\, we consider Gaussian mixtures and show diffusion models can learn a mixture of k isotropic Gaussians in R^n with quasi-polynomial time and sample complexity (exp(poly log((n+k)/epsilon)))\, under a minimum weight assumption. This gives a completely different\, analytic proof of a result previously known only using a specialized algebraic approach\, and moreover\, it extends to give the first efficient algorithm for learning a non-parametric family of Gaussian convolutions of distribution supported on sets with a small covering number.\n\nFor sampling\, we explain the surprising observation that despite the slow mixing of Langevin dynamics\, it is possible to sample from multimodal distributions by learning only the vanilla score\, as long as we use data-based initialization. We consider the more general problem of sampling using a Markov chain without global mixing given a small number of samples from the stationary measure\, showing efficient sampling with a number of data samples almost linear in the number of modes\; this also covers the case of Glauber dynamics with pseudolikelihood estimation.\nBased on joint work with Khashayar Gatmiry and Jonathan Kelner (MIT)\, Frederic Koehler (UChicago)\, Thuy-Duong Vuong (UC Berkeley) on the papers https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.18869 and https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.09117.\n\nThis event is a part of our 899 seminar series.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMachine learning algorithms are becoming increasingly powerful to support scientific research and development. A large emphasis in the pharmaceutical community has been on applying these tools in drug discovery\, where algorithms promise to accelerate the earliest stages of drug development. However\, a key challenge in applying machine learning to drug discovery is the scarcity of large\, high-quality datasets for many important applications. To combat this issue\, active learning workflows can be deployed where the machine learning algorithm is put in charge of additional data acquisition. These approaches can dramatically improve the performance of machine learning algorithms by directly querying the most useful data for model development instead of relying on human bias for data generation. In particular\, by pairing machine learning algorithms in yoked learning campaigns\, with one model as a selection algorithm and another as the predictive model\, the performance of these workflows can be improved especially when using currently popular deep neural networks. Even if no new data is selected\, smart active learning algorithms can also\nserve as a data selection approach for subsampling existing data to improve model performance especially on low quality datasets. Instead of selecting data\, data processing approaches can further improve model performance to better support drug development. For example\, novel pairwise deep learning approaches analyze the relationships between molecules to predict property differences instead of predicting property values of individual molecules. By quadratically increasing dataset sizes\, such approaches are particularly beneficial for ADMET and drug development tasks where data availability might be severely limited when relying on in vivo readouts. Such approaches can also enable the integration of bounded measurement values\, thereby enabling algorithms to incorporate data on incompletely characterized compounds to further improve model performance. While active learning and novel data\nprocessing techniques can significantly improve model performance in drug discovery\, similar advancements are needed for drug delivery applications. The development of machine learning approaches to de-risk and improve drug delivery holds immense promise to create superior therapeutics. However\, available datasets for drug delivery applications are often even more limited\, and this is further exacerbated by the large complexity of delivery challenges that often involve complex materials and interactions. To circumvent some of these challenges\, data from drug discovery can be harnessed to predict drug-excipient interactions to identify functional formulations that improve drug absorption and metabolism. Alternatively\, data can be specifically generated via high-throughput laboratory automation or using text mining to curate data from the literature. We have prototyped such advanced workflows in the context of nanoparticle development\, for example by creating predictive workflows that model the in vivo tumor reduction of inorganic nanoparticles and by using machine learning to guide the synthesis of novel drug-excipient nanoparticles with applications in anti-fungal and anti-cancer drug delivery. Despite current challenges and surely overinflated expectations\, such case studies serve as testimony that the strategic integration of machine learning into drug development pipelines holds immense promise to accelerate\, de-risk\, and optimize the creation of life-saving therapeutics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MICDE-EECS Seminar - Mikhail Belkin\, Professor\, University of California San Diego
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Mikhail Belkin is a Professor at Halicioglu Data Science Institute and Computer Science and Engineering Department at UCSD and an Amazon Scholar. Prior to that he was a Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Statistics at the Ohio State University. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago (advised by Partha Niyogi). His research interests are broadly in theory and applications of machine learning\, deep learning and data analysis. Some of his well-known work includes widely used Laplacian Eigenmaps\, Graph Regularization and Manifold Regularization algorithms\, which brought ideas from classical differential geometry and spectral graph theory to data science. His more recent work has been concerned with understanding remarkable mathematical and statistical phenomena observed in deep learning. The empirical evidence necessitated revisiting some of the classical concepts in statistics and optimization\, including the basic notion of over-fitting. One of his key findings has been the \"double descent\" risk curve that extends the textbook U-shaped bias-variance trade-off curve beyond the point of interpolation. His recent work focusses on understanding feature learning and over-parameterization in deep learning. Mikhail Belkin is an ACM Fellow and a recipient of a NSF Career Award and a number of best paper and other awards. He had served on the editorial boards of IEEE Proceedings on Pattern Analysis Machine Intelligence and the Journal of the Machine Learning Research. He is the editor-in-chief of SIAM Journal on Mathematics of Data Science (SIMODS).\n\nAbstract: In recent years\, transformers have become a dominant machine learning methodology.\nA key element of transformer architectures is a standard neural network (MLP). I argue that MLPs alone already exhibit many remarkable behaviors observed in modern LLMs\, including emergent phenomena. Furthermore\, despite large amounts of work\, we are still far from understanding how 2-layer MLPs learn relatively simple problems\, such as “grokking” modular arithmetic. I will discuss recent progress and argue that feature-learning kernel machines (Recursive Feature Machines) isolate some key computational aspects of modern neural architectures and are preferable to MLPs as a model for analysis of emergent phenomena.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2024-2025 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"How Long do Quasars Shine?\"\n\nLuminous quasars are believed to be the progenitors of the supermassive black holes observed ubiquitously at the centers of all massive galaxies\, but we are still in the dark about how these black holes formed. Our ignorance largely results from the fact that the expected timescale for supermassive black hole growth of 50 million years is far longer than the mere fifty years that humans have been observing quasars. A holy grail would thus be a direct measurement of quasar lifetimes\, shedding light on the physical mechanisms responsible for fueling black hole growth\, and how the back-reaction of this growth might influence how galaxies form.  I will discuss two very different experiments that allow us to construct cosmic clocks that can accurately time the duration of luminous quasar activity on timescales of kiloyears to gigayears. One exploits the clustering pattern of quasars on the sky\, which has recently been measured by JWST. The other uses observations of diffuse intergalactic gas in quasar environs. I will also touch upon how the latter can be used to constrain the reionization history of the Universe.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - New Views on Fern Phylogenetics: Updates from the GoFlag Targeted Enrichment Probe Set
DESCRIPTION:Ferns are the second largest group of vascular land plants\, with ca. 10\,000\, species\, and they are critical components of Earth’s biodiversity – ferns can be found in nearly every type of ecosystem and habitat\, from desert to rainforest. Ferns also occupy a pivotal evolutionary position as sister to the megadiverse seed plants\, and they are thus the critical outgroup needed to understand the evolution of key seed plant features. This talk presents the results of a phylogenomic approach to reconstructing fern evolution\, using the most highly resolved nuclear dataset to date (targeting 408 loci)\, and with highly targeted taxonomic sampling (including nearly all fern families and genera). This dataset allows us to explore a range of outstanding questions in fern phylogenetics\, including resolving recalcitrant nodes\, and comparing results between our nuclear based trees and other recent large-scale fern phylogenies based on chloroplast loci.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Broken Bonds: Fugitive Bannermen\, Civic virtue\, and Ethnic Identity in Late Imperial China
DESCRIPTION:In 1670\, the Kangxi Emperor promulgated the Sacred Edict\, a hortatory edict consisting of sixteen apothegms that enjoined his Chinese subjects to observe a variety of Confucian virtues. The Edict was the subject of a vast commentarial literature and was revered as a sacred text right through the end of the Qing Dynasty in 1912. This talk takes a closer look at the long-neglected thirteenth apothegm of the Edict\, which admonished against “shielding fugitive bannermen\,” and inquires what it can tell us about political loyalty\, displaced imperial subjects\, and inter-ethnic relations in late imperial China.\n\nPär Cassel is an associate professor of modern Chinese history at the University of Michigan\, where he has taught since 2006. He is strongly committed to multi-lingual and multi-archival research and is especially interested in historical problems where international relations\, jurisprudence\, institutional history\, and linguistics intersect. He has published on East Asian treaty ports\, extraterritoriality and international law in China and Japan\, Sino-Japanese relations\, Manjuristics\, and the history of Sinology. His most recent academic publication explores Confucian responses to Western imperialism and Japan’s policy of “National Seclusion” in the 1830s.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Electrocatalytic Synthesis with Interfacial Control
DESCRIPTION:Synthesis driven by renewable electricity offers a sustainable\, scalable\, decentralized\, and energy-efficient route to furnish value-added products – from fuels to complex molecules. Maximizing reaction efficiency and durability requires immobilized catalytic active sites on electrodes\, resulting in dispersed and non-uniform sites. This heterogeneity challenges iterative optimization of reactivity through traditional catalyst modifications\, which rely on uniform\, singular active sites. This lecture will focus on our research developing synthetic tools and concepts to predictively control interfacial structures at heterogeneous and reusable electrodes at the molecular level. Surface-sensitive techniques and mechanisms will be highlighted throughout the talk. Applications of our interfacial designs in enabling selective chemical syntheses and durable energy conversion systems will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Habit Formation in Labor Supply
DESCRIPTION:Among low income workers\, labor supply is often irregular: frequent shocks disrupt work spells\, absenteeism is high\, and many workers prefer flexible casual work to formal jobs. We examine the possibility that labor supply is habit forming—so that past labor supply levels affect preferences for future supply. We undertake a field experiment with casual urban laborers in Chennai\, India. We randomly provide some workers with small financial incentives for attendance over 7 weeks\, leading to a 23% increase in labor supply. We test for habit formation by examining subsequent impacts after the incentives are removed. First\, we see a persistent 16% increase in labor supply over the next 2 months\, resulting in a 11% increase in employment. Second\, treated workers exhibit a higher willingness to accept work contracts that are of longer duration and less flexible. They also self-report an increase in automaticity—suggesting a change in preferences. Third\, shocks that temporarily pull workers out of the labor market lead subsequent treatment effects to collapse to zero\; in the absence of these shocks\, we cannot reject that there is no decay in effects over time. Fourth\, in incentivized measures\, employers accurately predict treatment effects\, and prefer hiring workers who have been treated with a stronger habit stock in the past—findings that have relevance for understanding duration dependence and the “unemployment scar”. Finally\, in supplementary data from other settings\, we replicate short-run persistent effects of transitory labor supply shocks—indicating the broader generalizability of hysteresis in labor supply. Together\, our results suggest that the intermittent nature of employment and frequent shocks experienced in low-income settings may inhibit workers from becoming habituated to regular work—with implications for the transition to formal regular work in poor countries.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The politics of disaster prevention | The 2025 Miller Converse Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Despite the importance of effective disaster policy\, governments typically fail to produce it. The main explanation offered by political scientists is that voters strongly support post-disaster relief but not policies that seek to prevent or prepare for disaster. This study challenges that view. We develop novel measures of preferences for disaster prevention and post-disaster relief. We find strong support for prevention policies and candidates who pursue them\, even among the subgroups that are the most opposed. Support for prevention has the hallmarks of “real” attitudes: consistency across wordings and response formats\, including open ended probes\; steadfastness in the face of arguments\; and willingness to make trade-offs against disaster relief\, increased taxes\, and reduced spending on other programs. Neither cognitive biases for the here and now nor partisan polarization prevent robust majority support for disaster prevention. We validate these survey findings with election results\, which suggest voters act on these preferences.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Roma people of Ukraine by Janush Panchenko
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a unique talk on the Roma people of Ukraine by Janush Panchenko on Thursday\, March 20\, at 5 PM (EST)! \nThis is a hybrid event\nIn-Person Location: MLB 3308 \nVia Zoom: Register at alexaver@umich.edu\n\nThe Roma of Ukraine are a diverse and resilient community\, deeply rooted in the region’s history and cultural memory. With around 15 subethnic groups\, each with its own language\, traditions\, and religious affiliations—both Christian and Muslim—the true size of Ukraine’s Roma population remains uncertain\, with estimates ranging from 47\,000 to 400\,000.\n\nDespite gradual changes in recent decades\, Roma communities have continued to face marginalization. The full-scale Russian invasion has only intensified their struggles—about 80% of Roma in the occupied territories were forced to flee\, and many have been directly impacted by Russian crimes. At the same time\, some Roma have defied cultural norms and joined the Ukrainian army\, reshaping perceptions of their role in society.\n\nThis talk will explore the rich history and cultural diversity of Ukrainian Roma while shedding light on the immense challenges they face today. Through historical insight and contemporary analysis\, we will examine how war is transforming Roma identity and community life in Ukraine.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Annual Copernicus Lecture. The Post-Populist Predicament: On Redemocratization and Rule-of-Law Restoration in Poland since 2023
DESCRIPTION:On October 15\, 2023\, Polish voters elected\, by a wide margin\, a coalition of democratic parties and thus ended an 8-year episode of authoritarian-populist rule. But in contrast to other known cases of populist incumbents’ electoral defeat (Bolsonaro in Brazil\, Janša in Slovenia\, or Trump in the U.S. in 2020)\, the incumbents left a deeply dismantled institutional field\, or rather a minefield of various legal and institutional ambushes meant to render re-democratization extremely difficult\, if not impossible. In such circumstances\, a post-populist government faces a fundamental tension between the aim of depolarization and that of democratic consolidation. The rule-of-law conundrum best illustrates the tension: to respect the rule of law as traditionally\, conventionally understood—as dictating observance of all legal rules in force\, whatever their intent or content—leads to paralysis in a new government’s re-democratization efforts.\n\n   Sadurski will offer an account of the post-populist predicament in Poland (not avoiding the question of whether it is truly post-populist) and sketch some proposed solutions to the conundrum. He will show how the post-populist transition is different\, and in many ways more difficult\, than the post-communist transition in the early 1990s\, and how it necessitates some innovative constitutional remedies. He will then explore lessons that can be drawn from the Polish case for future redemocratization of other populist-authoritarian regimes\, such as those in Turkey\, India\, or Hungary today.\n   \nWojciech Sadurski is Challis Professor of Jurisprudence at the University of Sydney and Professor at the University of Warsaw’s Center for Europe\, as well as a lawyer\, political philosopher\, and commentator on public affairs. He previously held the chair in philosophy of law at the European University Institute in Florence and has taught regularly at Yale\, NYU\, and Princeton\, as well as at universities in Europe and Asia. He is a member of the Global Rule of Law Commission. Sadurski’s most recent books include *Poland’s Constitutional Breakdown* (2019)\, *A Pandemic of Populists* (2022)\, and *Constitutional Public Reason* (2023). He is a co-recipient of the 2023 Karol Pilarczyk Foundation Award for the “promotion of democracy and the rule of law” by the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences in America (PIASA).\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Phung Huynh
DESCRIPTION:Phung Huynh is a Los Angeles-based artist and educator with a practice in drawing\, painting\, public art\, and community engagement. Her work explores cultural perception and representation\, such as her drawings and prints on pink donut boxes\, which explore the complexities of assimilation and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. Huynh also challenges beauty standards by constructing images of the Asian female body vis-à-vis plastic surgery to unpack how contemporary cosmetic surgery can whitewash cultural and racial identity. \nIn tandem with her Penny Stamps Series appearance\, The Institute for the Humanities is hosting Huynh’s installation\, Angkorian Homecoming\, on display from March 20 - May 2\, 2025 at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. The new series brings together an installation of ornately framed graphite drawings and photographic banners that seek to ritually unite fragments of sacred Khmer Buddha statue heads that were looted from Cambodia.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Lecture -- \"How We Imagine Victorian Readers\,\" Debra Gettelman (College of the Holy Cross)
DESCRIPTION:The Nineteenth-Century Forum (NCF) invites you to the following public lecture\,\n“How We Imagine Victorian Readers”with guest speaker Debra Gettelman (College of the Holy Cross)Thursday\, March 20th6:00-7:30 PMLocation: 3330 Mason HallOr via Zoom\nPlease contact Alexa Kelly (avkelly@umich.edu) or Torre Puckett (puckettt@umich.edu) with any questions. \nAbstract: The novel reader’s independent imagination has long gotten a bad rap.  Eighteenth-century critics saw potential for moral danger in how novels stimulate a mix of reading\, inventing\, and daydreaming. Early twentieth-century academics established the discipline of literary studies by excluding readers’ free associations from both criticism and the classroom. Literary studies still lacks productive models for the unscripted work the novel reader’s imagination does when it is\, inevitably\, imagining things other than the words on the page.\nAnd yet\, counterintuitively\, highly descriptive and directive Victorian novels offer a model of inviting and grappling with the reader’s imaginative additions to the fictional world. Novelists from Jane Austen to George Eliot use syntax and prose style to stimulate readerly imagining to go beyond the author’s description at every level\, from plot outcomes to character descriptions.  Especially Eliot: Middlemarch uses negation to make readers’ minds move flexibly between what belongs and does not belong to the fictional world. Daniel Deronda uses “we\,” “us\,” and “our” to coax readers into more inclusive versions of human fellowship. Revisiting Eliot’s extensive use of the first-person plural throughout her career reveals her deep understanding—still little acknowledged in literary studies—of how author and reader together construct the fictional world.\nDebra Gettelman is Associate Professor of English at the College of the Holy Cross\, where she is also Dean of the Class of 2027. She is the author of numerous articles and reviews as well as Imagining Otherwise: How Readers Help to Write Nineteenth-Century Novels\, which was published by Princeton University Press in 2024.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:\"Angkorian Homecoming\" Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the Institute for the Humanities Gallery for the opening of Phung Huynh's exhibition *Angkorian Homecoming *immediately following her Penny Stamps Lecture at the Michigan Theater. The opening reception will also feature a brief Cambodian classical dance performance by Mea Lath and the Modern Apsara Company.\n\nAbout the exhibition:\n\nInformed by her experience as a refugee\, Phung Huynh’s projects explore the complexities of displacement\, assimilation\, and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Multiracial Families: Increasing Rapidly
DESCRIPTION:This digital exhibit in the Shapiro Lobby showcases research about and narratives from people across the globe who are part of mixed race families.\n\nIn 1967\, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Loving v. Virginia case that marriage across racial lines was legal throughout the country. Intermarriage has increased steadily since then: one in five U.S. newlyweds (19%) were married to a person of a different race or ethnicity in 2019\, a more than sixfold increase from 3% in 1967 (Pew Research Center\, 2022).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. 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.

DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. 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.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Andy Ross Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Angkorian Homecoming
DESCRIPTION:Informed by her experience as a refugee\, Phung Huynh’s projects explore the complexities of displacement\, assimilation\, and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States. She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elizabeth Boyd-Hartmann Dizik Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This body of work represents a playful exploration of form\, color\, and scale through the lens of cellular shapes. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. 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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Additionality and Asymmetric Information in Environmental Markets: Evidence from Conservation Auctions
DESCRIPTION:Market mechanisms aim to reduce environmental degradation at low cost\, but they are undermined when participants’ conservation actions are not marginal to the incentive — or “additional” — as the lowest-cost participants may not be the highest social value. We investigate this challenge in the Conservation Reserve Program’s auction mechanism for ecosystem services\, linking bids to satellite-derived land use. Three-quarters of marginal auction winners are not additional. The heterogeneity in counterfactual land use introduces adverse selection. We develop a model of bidding and additionality to quantify welfare implications. Alternative auctions increase efficiency by using scoring rules that incorporate expected land use impacts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CRAFT LECTURE: Proleptic Form: Toward a Poetics of Self Defense
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): https://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters24\n\nSeats are limited and are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot.\n\nZell Visiting Writers Series craft lectures are free and open to the public\, and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (in The Robert Hayden Conference Room\, Angell Hall #3222). Please contact kimjulie@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.\n\nOf her lecture\, \"Proleptic Form: Toward a Poetics of Self Defense\,\" Monica says\, \"In rhetoric\, prolepsis is the anticipation of possible counterarguments or objections in order to answer them in advance. It’s a defensive posture\, one that assumes in advance that the speaker will be criticized or attacked. So it seems appropriate that proleptic form – a poetics of self defense – would be particularly the province of those groups who are accustomed to being attacked\, to constantly rebutting spoken and unspoken accusations of being overemotional\, hypersensitive\, irrational\, lazy\, unnuanced\, non-objective\, trivial\, overly political\, of always playing the race card\, the gender card\, the sexuality card\, the class card\, pick a card. Proleptic form assumes an audience not of the speaker’s tribe\, potentially a hostile audience\, an audience assumed to be in a dominant position in society\, often a White audience\, a cishet audience etc. I’ll look at some well-known examples\, Phillis Wheatley\, Bhanu Kapil\, Robin Coste Lewis\, Claudia Rankine\, Layli Long Soldier\, and Paul Tran and try to identify certain characteristics of proleptic form.\"\n \nMonica Youn is the author of four poetry collections\, most recently *FROM FROM*\, which won the Anisfield-Wolf Award and was a finalist for the 2023 National Book Award. It was also named a *New York Times Book Review Notable Book* and Best Poetry Book of 2023 and was a *Time*\, *NPR*\, *Publishers Weekly*\, *Library Journal*\, and *Electric Literature* Best Book of 2023. She has been awarded the Levinson Prize from the Poetry Foundation\, the William Carlos Williams Award of the Poetry Society of America\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a Witter Bytter Fellowship from the Library of Congress\, and a Stegner Fellowship. Her previous books have been shortlisted for the National Book Award\, the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Kingsley Tufts Award. A former constitutional lawyer\, she is a member of the curatorial collective the Racial Imaginary Institute and is a professor of English at UC Irvine. \n\nTess Taylor\, on *NPR’s All Things Considered*\, declared that “Monica Youn is one of the most consistently innovative poets working today.” As John Yau has put it\, “In every generation there is a handful of poets who challenge the way we think about language and how it is used. . . . It is to this distinguished company that Youn now belongs.” Claudia Rankine has called Youn’s work “disconcerting in its spectatorship and breathtaking in its beauty\,\" and Linda Gregerson says\, “Monica Youn\, quite simply\, is one of the two or three most brilliant poets working in America today.”  \n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you. The building\, event space\, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Diaper changing tables are available in nearby restrooms. Gender-inclusive restrooms are available on the second floor of the Museum\, accessible via the stairs\, or in nearby Hatcher Graduate Library (Floors 3\, 4\, 5\, and 6).

SUMMARY:Other:Leaves Under the Lens
DESCRIPTION:The leaf surface is a dynamic landscape where tiny\, specialized structures help plants interact with the world around them. 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.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Louisiana State University associate sport management professor Per G. Svensson will give a presentation titled\, \"Accelerating Impact: Resource Mobilization and Innovation in Sport for Development.\" Light refreshments served. SKB room 2080 (directly above Diag entrance).\n\nRSVP: https://myumi.ch/ny52k\n\nAbstract: The field of sport for development and peace has attracted significant attention and has become increasingly formalized during the past 25-30 years. These types of organizations intentionally leverage sport for the purpose of achieving a set of social change-focused outcomes. The aim of this presentation is to share my personal journey of seeking to help such community-based sport organizations better serve their social missions. First\, I will highlight the unique context of sport for development and peace organizations for studying resource mobilization and organizational capacity. Second\, I will explore how these sport organizations have enabled important advances on social innovation within resource-constrained environments. Third\, I will discuss the development of experimental ways for advancing knowledge and developing more impactful ways for supporting the future generation of sport for social change organizations. Last\, I will reflect on my experience in publishing across top-ranked journals both within and outside of the sport management discipline on non-mainstream topics and contexts. In doing so\, I aim to identify key lessons learned for accelerating impact both in practice and in scholarship through sport management research. Additionally\, I will endeavor to identify expected future trends in flagship journals within sport management.

In many health\, education and policy settings\, adaptive interventions target clusters of individuals (e.g.\, clinics or schools)\, with the intent of improving outcomes at the level of individuals. These are called clustered adaptive interventions (cAIs).  Clustered\, sequential\, multiple-assignment\, randomized trials (cSMART) can be used to form high-quality clustered adaptive interventions. This non-technical talk introduces clustered adaptive interventions and cSMARTs\, and presents current and past research concerning the design and analysis of cSMARTs.  This includes recent work with University of Michigan students on finite-sample adjustment methods for the marginal mean comparison of cAIs (with W. Pan)\, an extension of moderator analyses using ideas from Q-learning (with Y. Song)\, and a three-level analysis method (with G. Durham)—i.e.\, repeated measures nested within individuals\, nested within clusters. It also includes a new cSMART design for the construction of event-triggered cAIs (with M. Ferlic). Time-permitting\, the talk ends by describing current challenges in the design and analysis of multilevel SMARTs\, a special type of clustered SMART\, whereby nested groups of individuals are randomized sequentially (e.g.\, a clinic-level randomization followed by a doctor-within-clinic-level randomization) leading to interesting questions concerning causal spillover. Throughout\, I draw on multiple examples from implementation science\, a relatively new area that concerns the optimization and evaluation of clustered interventions to improve the adoption of evidence-based practices.\n\n\nhttps://d3c.isr.umich.edu/person/daniel-almirall/

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

SUMMARY:Performance:The Politics of Theater: A Conversation with Professor Juliet Guzzetta (MSU) & Italian Author & Actor Giuliana Musso
DESCRIPTION:Can the live arts address societal urgent issues and if so\, how? Join us for a conversation about what it means to do political theater in today's world with award-winning Italian author and actor Giuliana Musso and theater studies scholar Juliet Guzzetta (MSU).  \n\nThis conversation follows the *Dentro (Inside)* performance at the Wharton Center for the Performing Arts in East Lansing on Thursday\, March 20th. The Department of Romance Languages and Literatures has set tickets aside for students interested in the play and is also organizing a shuttle to drive students and faculty to the performance Thursday night. Seats are limited so please sign up here if interested. \n\nAttendance to the play is not necessary to be part of this conversation which will touch upon questions of theater\, political engagement\, and activism more broadly.\n\nABOUT JULIET GUZZETTA AND GULIANA MUSSO:\n\n*Juliet Guzzetta* is Associate Professor with joint appointments in the Department of English and the Department of Romance and Classical Studies at Michigan State University. Her first book\, The Theater of Narration: From the Peripheries of History to the Main Stages of Italy (Northwestern UP\, 2021\; honorable mention\, MLA\, Scaglione Publication Award in Italian Literary Studies\; translation in Italian by Accademia University Press\, 2023)\, explores a form of contemporary solo theater in its historical\, political\, and performative dimensions. In addition to numerous essays in journals and edited volumes\, she recently co-edited an issue of gender/sexuality/italy on the concept of “conservative feminisms” with Ombretta Frau\, and published a translation of Giuliana Musso's *Dentro*. Una storia vera se volete. Currently she is co-editing a collection on Italian feminist thought with Graziella Parati titled *Italian Feminisms: Transnational Praxes for Today and Tomorrow*. She was recently awarded a 12-month Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities for her current monograph in progress\, *Acting Class: Lessons from Franca Rame*\, which centers Rame’s performances and activism as a model for political discourse\, socially committed artistry\, and grounded wide-ranging critique.\n\n*Giuliana Musso* is an acclaimed Italian playwright\, actress\, and director\, celebrated for her impactful storytelling and exploration of complex societal issues through the medium of documentary theatre. Over her two-decade career\, Musso has written plays that merge fiction with real-life accounts\, focusing on themes such as gender\, identity\, and human rights. Among her most recognized works are Nati in casa\, which portrays the intimate world of Italian midwifery and birth\, Sexmachine\, an exploration of masculinity and vulnerability\, and Mio eroe\, which examines families affected by war and the nuanced concept of heroism. Her recent play\, *Dentro* examines the private struggles and unspoken truths that shape individuals\, inviting the audience to confront the emotional landscapes that often remain unseen. Musso’s unique blend of empathy\, incisive social commentary\, and humor has cemented her as a significant voice in contemporary European theatre\, earning her numerous accolades and a devoted following.

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 Friday\, March 21st\, 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 &amp\; Research Methods project is perfect for beginners who have never worked with a dataset before. This project will also be helpful for advanced data science students who have little experience working with data cleaning or survey building\, desk research\, or data visualizations. The focus of this project is the research process as a whole.It is the first day of your new job as the Junior Data Scientist for the Office of the Mayor in the fictional town of Data Lake\, West Dakota. The population of Data Lake (314\,159) has grown rapidly since 2020 as a number of remote workers have relocated to the mid-size city. Mayor “Tess Ellation” has tasked your office with a project – to learn more about the specific needs of the town’s new remote work population. She asks you to review data on remote workers provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and come back to her with at least two data-driven policy recommendations which will support these new Data Lake families (for example\, a policy recommendation might be: build new coworking spaces downtown). Your policy recommendationsmust be informed by data analysis or Mayor Ellation will not adopt them. Participants will clean a dataset\, learn about the ethics of datascience research\, do some preliminary analysis\, and develop a working hypothesis about the impact of remote work policies. You'll build some simple data visualizations\, test your hypotheses\, write up a short conclusion\, and prepare a final report for Mayor Ellation. There are 9 Milestones in this project. There are several Tasks you need to complete within each Milestone. This project should take you no more than 30 hours to finish. Depending on your skill level\, it may take you less time.Inthis project\, you will learn using a combination of videos\, articles\, and external data work in spreadsheets. Our team has provided you with several external links and resources which will supplement your learning.Project participants who complete Milestones 1-9 in accordance with these instructions will receive a Certificate of Completion from the NSDC Project Team.

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).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friday Lecture Series. Gambling Coastal Lives: Surprises and Precarity in the Coastal Philippines
DESCRIPTION:Surprises in the form of risks and uncertainties reinforce and sometimes complicate the vulnerability and precarity of human and nonhuman lives. We see such complex relations unfold in the coastal Philippines\, where struggling smallholder fishers bear a significant share of the impacts of climate change\, marine ecosystem collapse\, and market failures. Montefrio explores how human and nonhuman coastal lives and their socio-material relations negotiate\, co-constitute\, and embody surprises in predictable and confounding ways. In his ethnographic work in Capiz\, he examines the interactions among the smallholder fishers and the fishing infrastructures they build\, the inshore fish they catch\, the erratic weather that surprises them\, the neoliberal regime that governs them\, the debt they accumulate\, and the precarious lives they live. Surprises brought about by extreme weather and other stressors impel smallholder fishers to engage in greater risk-taking behaviors akin to gambling. Left to their own devices\, smallholder fishers negotiate surprises with a modest sense of control\, shaping their material world as best as they can to improve their lives. Often\, they are resigned to just the luck of the draw.\n\nZoom link: https://myumi.ch/qVN9Q\n   \n   Marvin Montefrio is an associate professor of social science (environmental studies) at Yale-NUS College in Singapore and an affiliate faculty of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He is also a faculty fellow of the Food Politics and Society Cluster of the Asia Research Institute at NUS. Marvin specializes in food\, agrarian\, and environmental studies\, with a specific interest in food and sustainability in Southeast Asia.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:More than Gray: Reimagining Early America in Full Color
DESCRIPTION:The American past was lived in full color\, but this vibrant history can be easily missed in surviving evidence. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Structure\, dynamics\, and misfolding of the glaucoma-associated myocilin olfactomedin domain: How a protein’s structure spells the difference between health and disease
DESCRIPTION:Mutations within the olfactomedin domain of myocilin (OLF) cause cytotoxic amyloid-like aggregation in the endoplasmic reticulum\, which in turn hasten the progression of vision loss due to glaucoma. Despite progress in molecular characterization of OLF at a molecular level\, differentiating disease from benign mutations remains a challenge. In this talk I will present recent findings from my lab on the emerging relationship between OLF unfolding and aggregation and how this relationship may relate to its pathogenic misfolding. Broadly\, our study of myocilin illustrates complexities introduced by large amyloid-forming proteins when undergoing folded-to-misfolded transitions compared to smaller model amyloid systems.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:13th Annual Marshall M. Weinberg Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 theme is \"What do large language models tell us about human language?\" Three big claims have dominated the last half century of thinking in cognitive science about language. First\, language relies on a system of abstract syntactic rules and principles. Second\, these rules and principles are too complex to be learned by children without an innate linguistic faculty. Third\, developing competence in language requires social interaction grounded in the real world.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Dissertation Defense: One-dimensional Wave Kinetic Theory
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nKinetic theory aims to write effective equations for the statistical laws arising in microscopic systems with many degrees of freedom. Such equations\, referred to as kinetic equations\, have been studied dating back to the Boltzmann equation in the late 1800's\, and were later proposed for wave systems in the mid-1900's. Wave kinetic equations play an important role in the study of oceanography\, plasma physics\, and atmospheric science\, to name just a few areas. Rigorous justification of these equations has been much more recent and falls under the umbrella of Hilbert's sixth problem.\n\nAlthough wave kinetic equations have been rigorously derived in dimension d \geq $\, both the physical and mathematical theory of wave turbulence in dimension d = 1 is less understood. Here\, we look at the one-dimensional MMT (Majda\, McLaughlin\, and Tabak) model\, a general model encompassing many dispersion relations \omega(k) = |k|^\sigma\, where we consider 0 < \sigma < 2 and \sigma \neq 1. In particular\, this includes the dispersion relations for the 1D cubic NLS (\sigma = 2) and gravity water waves (\sigma = 1/2). We restrict to the case where there are no derivatives in the nonlinearity\, and consider the MMT on a large interval of length L with nonlinearity of size \alpha.\n\nHere\, we rigorously derive the kinetic equation in the kinetic limit L \to \infty and \alpha \to 0 under various scaling laws \alpha \sim L^{-\gamma} up to timescales T \sim L^{-\epsilon}\alpha^{-\frac{5}{4}} (or T \sim L^{-\epsilon} T_{kin}^{5/8})\, where the kinetic time T_{kin} is the relevant timescale on which the kinetic approximation is expected. Notably\, in the range of 1 < \sigma \leq 2\, the proposed collision kernel of the kinetic equation is trivial\, begging the question of what is the appropriate kinetic theory in that setting. In this case\, our result implies there can be no nontrivial dynamics of the second moment up to timescales T_{kin}.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Computational Geometry for Design Optimization
DESCRIPTION:Numerical analysis and optimization are valuable tools for aircraft design\, especially for new configurations with little historical data or designer intuition. However\, complex designs can be excluded from high-fidelity design optimization due to limitations in how geometry is handled.\nNew geometric parameterizations and constraints have not been studied in depth and few methods allow for the optimization of designs with intersections. This research opens optimization to a larger range of aircraft designs by addressing gaps in understanding of the performance of different geometric parameterizations and the effects of spatial integration constraints as well as developing two methods for optimizing designs with intersections.\n\nIn-Person 1044 FXB (McDivitt Conference Room) or Virtual: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91726076075 (passcode: geo)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Public Service Organizations and Institutional Pluralism: How Structural Filtering Generates Inequality in Client Service and Complicates Mission Fulfillment
DESCRIPTION:Public service organizations (PSOs) in the United States are mission-driven entities that reflect American commitments to democratic opportunity. They also are emblematic “institutionalized organizations” whose legitimacy and success depend on isomorphism with rules or “logics” of their institutional environment. Given the complex\, pluralistic nature of PSOs’ institutional environment\, what determines whether organizational actors can prioritize logics aligned with American opportunity? And if they cannot\, what are the consequences—both for their clients’ organizational experiences and for the broader imperative of mission fulfillment? In this paper\, we answer these questions using the case of public U.S. higher education\, drawing on unique interview data gathered from organizational actors and their clients (here\, students). We find that internal structural attributes—including role specialization\, task standardization\, and centralization of resource-based decision making—and the related process of structural filtering\, centrally drive organizational actors’ logic prioritization and in turn\, profoundly impact the character of client interactions and mission fulfillment. Specifically\, when structural filtering prevents organizational actors from prioritizing democratic logics\, student experiences decline in quality and become more unequal: patterns misaligned with mission fulfillment. We conclude by discussing implications for the organizational production of inequality and for public trust in PSOs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Theory Seminar: Friday\, March 21
DESCRIPTION:We study the design of mechanisms when the designer faces multiple plausible scenarios and is uncertain about the true scenario. A mechanism is dominated by another if the latter performs at least as well in all plausible scenarios and strictly better in at least one. A mechanism is undominated if no other feasible mechanism dominates it. We show how analyzing undominated mechanisms could be useful and illustrate the tractability of characterizing such mechanisms. This approach provides an alternative criterion for mechanism design under non-Bayesian uncertainty\, complementing existing methods.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Spectral diffusion in wave turbulence
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Classical concept in turbulence is an energy cascade from large to small scales leading to the famous Kolmogorov spectrum.  In Wave Turbulence (WT)\, where the fundamental motions are random interacting waves rather than hydrodynamic vortices\, an analogue to the Kolmogorov spectrum is a Kolmogorov-Zakharov spectrum describing stationary states with a constant energy flux from long to short wave modes. The Kolmogorov scenario relies on a locality property which assumes that the dominant nonlinear interaction occurs among scales (e.g. wave lengths) of similar sizes. This property is violated in some important WT systems\, and one has to construct alternative theories describing interactions of widely separated scales.  An important example here is the spectral diffusion describing evolution of WT when the dominant interactions are with an infrared end of the spectrum. In my talk\, I will introduce the main ideas\, mathematical descriptions and results for the WT systems arising in several well-known applications: water surface gravity waves\, internal waves\, planetary Rossby waves and MMT models.\n\nContact:  Zaher Hani

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Dual Schubert polynomials and Postnikov-Stanley polynomials (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Dual Schubert polynomials and their skew generalization\, Postnikov-Stanley polynomials\, possess deep geometric and algebraic properties. Dual Schubert polynomials\, introduced by Bernstein\, Gelfand\, and Gelfand in 1973\, represent the intersection degrees of Schubert varieties via Borel-Weil embeddings. In 2005\, Postnikov and Stanley further showed that these polynomials form a dual basis to Schubert polynomials in the polynomial ring with infinitely many variables under the D-pairing\, demonstrating that\, despite their distinct geometric and combinatorial definitions\, they encode the same information. Thus\, research on dual Schubert polynomials sheds new light on classical problems in Schubert calculus.\n\nIn joint work with Serena An and Katherine Tung\, we extend this perspective to the study of Postnikov-Stanley polynomials\, proving that they represent the intersection degrees of Richardson varieties via Borel-Weil embeddings\, and are therefore Lorentzian polynomials. Additionally\, we provide an elegant and complete characterization of the supports of dual Schubert polynomials\, which leads to a polynomial-time algorithm for determining whether a given term appears in a dual Schubert polynomial. I will also discuss open problems related to Postnikov-Stanley polynomials and their broader implications for Schubert calculus.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | The Full Spectrum of Thermal Dark Matter
DESCRIPTION:This seminar presents a comprehensive analysis of thermal relic freezeout mechanisms\, deriving simple-to-use analytical relationships between dark matter mass and coupling strengths that explain the observed cosmic abundance. This unified framework reveals a generalized perturbative unitarity bound on dark matter mass applicable across the full spectrum of thermal freezeout processes.\nNotably\, I will demonstrate how thermal dark matter masses can exceed the conventional 100 TeV unitarity limit—potentially reaching the Planck scale—through mechanisms involving nearly degenerate states and metastable dark matter configurations. Specifically\, I will introduce new concepts like zombie and drunk dark matter to enable the realization of superheavy thermal dark matter. Finally\, I will show that weak-scale thermal dark matter can naturally arise even in scenarios with extremely small coupling strengths.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Mixed Hodge Structures
DESCRIPTION:Hodge theory is a central area of algebraic geometry\, and one of its celebrated achievements is Deligne's Mixed Hodge structures introduced in the 70s. These structures generalize classical Hodge theory\, extending it from the cohomology of smooth projective varieties to that of all varieties.\n\nThe goal of this talk is to introduce Mixed Hodge structures for smooth varieties and see some of their applications. In particular\, we will prove the Global Invariant Cycle Theorem.\n\n If time permits\, we will also discuss an application to the cohomology of algebraic varieties and a connection between Hodge theory and singularities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Kristin Bergmann\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:With this talk\, I explore pre-Cenozoic glaciations to answer the following questions: \"What is the record of ice volume and extent through time\, and can this be reconciled with the oxygen isotope record?\". Utilizing carbonate-clumped isotope thermometry and integrating observations from the geologic record\, I will first examine the end-Ordovician glaciation—a test case that exhibits both similarities to and differences from Cenozoic glaciation. Prior to glaciation\, a long-term gradual cooling trend is mirrored by Ordovician radiation in biological diversity\, consistent with temperature-dependent oxygen solubility and metabolism as primary controls. Evidence for significant ice growth is constrained to less than 2 Myr of the Hirnantian Stage\, underscoring the high sensitivity of ice growth to pCO₂ and temperature. Our independent estimates for ice volume\, area\, and sea-level change during the Hirnantian glacial maximum are internally consistent and comparable to those of the Last Glacial Maximum. In addition to our work documenting cooling in the lead-up to the end-Ordovician Hirnantian glaciation\, our targeted geographic studies have also allowed us to reconstruct progressive and protracted cooling before the Sturtian Snowball Earth glaciation and the Late Paleozoic Ice Age. These three case studies suggest that a cool\, low pCO₂ climate is a prerequisite for glaciation\, even Snowball Earth\, and highlight the importance of identifying and constraining meteoric alteration associated with large amplitude sea level change before interpreting isotope records. The implications of these results extend to refining current paleoclimate models\, especially in understanding transitions from greenhouse to icehouse conditions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Engendering Respectful Communities - AY24 - 25 Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.\n\nThe primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.\nThe ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROPWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

As a student-led chapter of the internationally renowned Partners in Health organization\, we are committed to advocating for equitable healthcare solutions\, amplifying marginalized voices\, and inspiring systemic change.This gala stems from a rich history of grassroots movements that recognize healthcare as a human right\, not a privilege. Founded on the belief that every individual deserves access to quality healthcare regardless of socioeconomic status\, our chapter has consistently worked to uphold this vision through advocacy\, education\, and service. The gala represents a new chapter in our mission: uniting campus organizations and community members around the shared goal of addressing critical global and public health challenges.The Health Equity Gala serves as a platform to spotlight the disparities in healthcare access\, particularly in the context of an evolving political landscape where conservative policies may threaten progress in public health equity. By bringing together a diverse coalition of public health and global health organizations on campus\, we aim to foster dialogue\, share resources\, and build actionable strategies to combat these disparities.We invite you to join us in celebrating the power of collective action and the potential for transformative change. Together\, we can advocate for a more equitable world and ensure that health is prioritized as a universal human right. March 30th 7-9 PM at Union Pendleton  Register here: https://www.pihengageumich.org/health-equity-gala-registration

SUMMARY:Performance:Joy Clark
DESCRIPTION:Louisiana born-and-raised singer-songwriter and guitarist Joy Clark is charting her own path with her debut album “Tell it to the Wind.” As the youngest of five children born into a tight knit\, deeply religious family just outside of New Orleans\, her release is both a declaration of her independence and a love letter to the traditions that shaped her.\n\nJoy’s songcraft\, paired with sophisticated progressions\, and themes of freedom\, love and self-acceptance gained her notice on the national folk and Americana scenes just a few years ago with appearances at Americanafest. Joy teamed up with one of her musical heroes\, 4x Grammy-nominated Margaret Becker\, to make her debut album. \"Tell it to the Wind\" marks Clark’s arrival on the national stage as a proud\, queer\, Black woman blending the social consciousness of folk\, the rhythms of Southeast Louisiana\, and the soul-centered music she grew up with.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Charcuterie Board Show
DESCRIPTION:Charcuterie Board is similar to RCP's Evening of Scenes\, but with a stronger emphasis on serious\, thought-provoking pieces that explore a range of themes. While some scenes are student-written\, the majority are drawn from various forms of media that have inspired our directors and performers\, allowing them to bring compelling narratives to life on stage. Each story performed on stage serves as a unique ingredient on this metaphorical charcuterie board\, offering the audience a carefully curated selection of moments—some sharp with tension\, others rich with emotion\, and some subtly profound. Just like a well-balanced board\, every scene contributes something distinct\, creating an experience that is both diverse and immersive\, leaving the audience with a taste of many different perspectives and storytelling styles.

SUMMARY:Performance:Joan Shelley
DESCRIPTION:“If Nick Drake and Sandy Denny had had a kid\, she may have grown up to be Joan Shelley” –Rolling Stone\n\nJoan Shelley is a songwriter and singer who draws inspiration from traditional and traditionally-minded performers from her native Kentucky\, as well as those from Ireland\, Scotland\, and England\, but she’s not a folksinger. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Flamy Grant
DESCRIPTION:“Grant crafts songs with an inexorable flow and irresistible hooks… Air-tight lyrics and a soaring tenor. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Leo Kottke
DESCRIPTION:\"an American legend in the guitar world\" –Los Angeles Times \n\nAcoustic guitarist Leo Kottke was born in Athens\, Georgia\, but left town after a year and a half. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Joe Reilly and The Community Gardeners
DESCRIPTION:Album release concert!\n\n“Exalting love for the planet and its fellow human beings as his main value\, the warm and emotional North American artist Joe Reilly captivates us in an atmosphere of blues\, folk\, and rock where his baritone voice invites us to leave aside prejudice and hatred\, preserving the power of love and individuality.\n\nAs the world becomes more complex and darker\, with rising rates of violence\, intolerance\, and racism\, as well as anxiety and suicide\, human beings seek new alternatives to convey positive and encouraging messages to their fellow human beings. 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. Come ready to sing\, breathe\, and celebrate our deep interconnections!\n\nPhoto credit Silver Thumb Photography
