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.

Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818071@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250327T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:stop-loss DESCRIPTION:stop-loss\, the 2025 MFA Thesis Exhibition\,​ is on view at the Stamps Gallery from March 22— April 12\, 2025.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621550@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T170000 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).

The 1938 Soviet historical drama\, directed by Sergei Eisenstein during the Stalinist era\, was the first of his dramatic films to use sound\, and it depicts the attempted invasion of Novgorod in the 13th century by the Knights of the Holy Roman Empire and their subsequent defeat by Prince Alexander\, aka Alexander Nevsky.\n\nThe film and music were a true collaboration in that some of the film was shot to Prokofiev’s music and some of Prokofiev’s music was composed to Eisenstein’s footage. A year after the film’s premiere\, Prokofiev arranged the film score as a cantata\, which is more frequently performed today. The cantata was first performed at UMS at the 1946 May Festival\, less than a decade after its premiere\, and most recently as part of the 1991 May Festival.

In many ways that record defined me\, as well as launched me into a now over 20 year long career that has made me who I am. It was after 10 years of playing in bars\, making cassettes and EPs to sell at my shows\, singing backup for my brother Rufus\, falling in love and out of love and in again\, practicing\, writing\, singing until I could barely sing anymore\, partying\, walking for hours and hours\, crying and laughing with friends\, playing with musicians and listening to great artists working with my ex-husband in the studio for 2 years that created this first record. \n\nLabels wouldn't sign me when I started and I had to craft\, with the help of many people\, an album that would finally be licensed and released in 2005. My first record tells my story and when it was finally released I was able to work and tour and have a career in music - something that I always wanted but wasn't sure would happen. 20 years later\, with 6 other albums under my belt\, 2 kids and a career that is chugging along\, I can safely say that my first record paved my way forward and I'm very proud of it and still sing many of these early songs. \n\nOn March 21st we will release the record on vinyl for the first time ever\, as well as digitally release unheard songs\, outtakes and early material from that 10 year period of discovery that led to my first record. And along with the re-release there will be a tour (with more dates being announced soon)\, with a few great musicians\, where I'll play the record in its entirety as well as a few new songs - there's no 48 year old me without the 28 year old me. \n\nWith love and gratitude\,\nMartha” UID:127732-21859594@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/127732 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250228T181839 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Performing Arts Technology Showcase DESCRIPTION:Students from the Department of Performing Arts Technology (PAT) present a showcase of performances.

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.

Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818072@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250323T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250323T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621551@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250323T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250323T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

From the perspective of the city herself\, voiced by Palestinian actress Maisa Abd Elhadi\, the viewer is guided through the lifespan of a five-thousand-year-old city and its residents. Lyd was once a thriving Palestinian city with a rich history. In 636AD\, It was even considered the first capital of Palestine. When the State of Israel was founded in 1948\, Lyd became an Israeli city\, and in the process\, hundreds of Lyd’s Palestinian residents were massacred by Israeli forces\, and most of the city’s 50\,000 Palestinian residents were exiled. Today\, the city has a Jewish Israeli majority and a Palestinian minority and is disinvested and divided by racism and violence. For Palestinians\, Lyd’s story is a painful and tragic fall from grace\, which is why our film dares to ask the question: what would the city be like had the Israeli occupation of Lyd never happened?\n \n Using never-before-seen archival footage of the Israeli soldiers who carried out the massacre and expulsion\, the city explains that these events were so devastating that they fractured her reality\, and now there are two Lyds –– one occupied and one free. As the film unfolds\, documentary portions follow a chorus of characters through their daily lives\, creating a tapestry of the Palestinian experience of this city\, and vivid animations use the language of speculative fiction to envision an alternate reality where the same documentary characters live free from the trauma of the past and the violence of the present. As the film cuts between fantastical and documentary realities\, it ultimately leaves the viewer questioning which future should prevail.\n\nThis screening is a part of the Falasteen on Screen Film Festival\, brought to you by Marquee Arts\, Islamic Studies\, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Middle East Studies\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, Department of Anthropology\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the International Institute\, Program in International and Comparative Studies\, Department of Film\, Television\, & Media\, Imagine Fitness and Yoga\, Palestine Aid Society of America.\n \nThe festival highlights the work of Palestinian filmmakers and serves as a platform for educating audiences about the history\, culture\, and experiences of Palestinians. Our goal is to provide a deeper understanding of life under occupation through compelling narratives that span past and present. The festival will take place in person at both the Michigan and State Theaters in Ann Arbor.\n \n2025 Falasteen on Screen Film Lineup:\nFebruary 17th: Double Feature of Short Films from Gaza: *Ahmad Alive* & *Bisan*\nFebruary 26th: *Life is Beautiful\, A Letter to Gaza*\nMarch 23rd: *Lyd* – Q&A with the filmmaker & U-M alumna\, Mekarem Eljamal\n \n More info: https://marquee-arts.org/FILM-SERIES/\n \n If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact islamicstudies@umich.edu.

With roughly 300 performers and 1\,300 audience members\, GenAPA stands as the largest student-run pan-Asian cultural programs. Promoting cultural diversity through tradition and history remains intrinsic to the core values of GenAPA.\n\nThis year’s theme is “Panorama” which conveys expanding the lens on APIA culture\, moving beyond its typical focus to offer a broader\, more inclusive view.

Sometimes called the Song of the Night\, two of its five movements are nocturnes. One of them is a folksy sort of night-patrol or march\, and the other a romantic serenade\, complete with guitar and mandolin. The movement between them evokes goblins and spirits in a macabre dance. From these nightwalks and nightsongs\, there are bells and drums and brass fanfares\, as a brightly lit and positive view of the world emerges. \n\nKenneth Kiesler\, conductor\n\nPROGRAM\nMahler\, Symphony No. 7 UID:122674-21849520@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122674 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Concert,Free,Music LOCATION:Hill Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240925T130645 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250323T193000 SUMMARY:Performance:Newberry & Verch DESCRIPTION:A seamless blend of Canadian and Ozark/Appalachian styles\n\nGrowing up\, Joe Newberry and April Verch absorbed traditions of home and hearth – in his Missouri Ozarks and her Ottawa Valley of Canada. Although they are on the road much of the year\, the two musicians are fond of saying that they are rarely homesick\, because their music means they always have a bit of home with them wherever they go.\nJoe Newberry comes from a family of singers and dancers. He took up the guitar and banjo as a boy and learned fiddle tunes from great Missouri fiddlers. April Verch grew up listening to her dad’s country band play for dances in the Ottawa Valley. She started step dancing at age three and fiddling at age six. In a Newberry & Verch show\, delighted audiences see first-hand the roots of their music\, their love of performing\, and their strong musical connection. Original songs join timeless classics. Stories warm the heart\, and give audiences a chance to understand where the music comes from.\n\nKnown around the world for his clawhammer banjo playing\, Newberry is also a powerful guitarist\, singer and songwriter. The Gibson Brothers’ version of his song “Singing As We Rise\,” featuring guest vocalist Ricky Skaggs\, won the 2012 IBMA “Gospel Recorded Performance” Award. With Eric Gibson\, he shared the 2013 IBMA “Song of the Year” Award for “They Called It Music.” A longtime guest on A Prairie Home Companion\, he was a featured singer on the Transatlantic Sessions 2016 tour of the U.K.\, and at the Transatlantic Session’s debut at Merlefest in 2017. \n\nBefore launching her professional career\, Verch was the first woman to win both the Canadian Grand Masters and Canadian Open Fiddling Championships. In 2000\, she formed “The April Verch Band\,” and together they have toured the world\, performing in 18 different countries. She has released 14 solo recordings to date\, receiving JUNO\, Canadian Folk Music and Independent Music nominations and awards for several of those releases. Verch was one of 6 fiddlers who represented the Canadian fiddle tradition to the world at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver\, as part of a segment called “Fiddle Nation” featured in the Opening Ceremonies.\n\nWhether it is the power of two voices lifted in harmony\, or the sound of traditional tunes calling people to get up and move\, these two masters of tradition put on an unforgettable show. And\, when their feet kick up the dust in perfect rhythm and those two voices become one\, Joe Newberry and April Verch make folks remember why this music existed in the first place.

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

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

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

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.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

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

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

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.

Mathematical GR is the study of gravitation through analysis of the Einstein equations\, which link the matter content of our universe to its geometry. It uses techniques from geometric analysis and nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) in order to prove rigorous mathematical theorems that answer questions from physics. The first subject in this dissertation is linear first order hyperbolic systems of PDE in a double null foliation. The second is the formation of trapped surfaces in general relativity. Prior to these\, we provide a brief introduction to the main ideas of mathematical general relativity which are featured in this thesis.\n\nA double null foliation is a particular type of foliation of spacetime which is well-suited to the study of gravitational radiation. Gravitational waves propagate along the hypersurfaces defined by a double null foliation. The Bianchi identities for the Riemann curvature of a vacuum spacetime exhibit a hyperbolic structure which has been used to obtain detailed nonlinear estimates on the null curvature components. In the first main work of this dissertation\, we introduce the notion of a double null hyperbolic system of equations and prove a global existence and uniqueness theorem for these systems. We then discuss the relationship between these systems and the Bianchi equations. We also derive a novel algebraic constraint which must be satisfied\, at every point in the spacetime\, by tensor fields satisfying the linearized Bianchi equations (the linearized Bianchi equations are obtained from the usual Bianchi equations by replacing the null Weyl tensor components with unknown tensorfields). This work has potential applications in the study of gravitational waves\, as well as in any system where the null structure is paramount\, such as Einstein-null dust\, Einstein-massless Vlasov\, or Einstein-Maxwell.\n\nIn the second main work of this dissertation\, which is based on joint work with Lydia Bieri\, Neel Patel\, and Pengyu Le\, we prove a trapped surface formation result for a certain class of null dust spacetimes\, extending the seminal work of Christodoulou. This result extends to past null infinity. We show that if the incoming energy due to gravitation or null dust radiation is sufficiently large\, then a trapped surface will form. In particular\, we show that a trapped surface can form solely due to the concentration of null dust radiation\, in the absence of any gravitational energy. Trapped surfaces are closely related to black holes\; a spacetime which contains a closed trapped surface and a complete future null infinity necessarily contains a black hole\, with the trapped surface inside. The initial data constructed in this work is in the large data regime\, is quite general\, and can be arbitrarily far from already containing a trapped surface. New ideas are needed and developed to analyze the matter introduced in this work.

Some of these perspectives have focused on the idea of emptiness and vacancy\, depicting space as lacking connections or relationships. By portraying places as “empty”\, we risk overlooking the care\, relationships\, and connections that already exist in these places. In our collaborative mapping workshop\, happening on March 24th from 3-5pm at the UM Detroit Center\, we aim to tell a different story: Detroit is not empty. By co-developing maps that visualize networks of people\, nature\, and their relationships\, we will identify the many ways in which care and connection are happening. We will together reflect on what this collective “big picture” of nature might mobilize for Detroit’s communities. The maps and networks that we create during the workshop will be shared with all participants and we hope the workshop can spark conversations over drinks and snacks\, uncover new collaboration opportunities\, and offer fresh perspectives on landscapes in Detroit.

You probably have some idea\, or at least you know it when you see it. You probably also know that this is a trick question. In practice\, it’s not hard to know a poem when you see one: it appears in lines or it rhymes or it’s called poetry even if it looks like prose. In theory\, everyone knows you are not supposed to answer the question. This talk will address the relation between determinate practice and indeterminate theory in modern (post-eighteenth-century) Anglo-American poetics.

Perseverative coping or the chronic and continuous contemplation about symptoms\, causes\, and consequences of distress represents an important\, yet under-explored mechanism that may explain and exacerbate the deleterious consequences of racial discrimination. Drawing from recent and forthcoming work from Dr. Bernard\, this presentation will highlight how perseverative coping can influence the discrimination-mental health link among Black youth and emerging adults. Additionally\, this presentation will discuss the value of considering perseverative coping as a culturally relevant\, malleable intervention target that can reduce negative mental health sequalae in the aftermath of racism-related experiences.\n\nDr. Donte Bernard’s program of research examines the direct and indirect pathways by which racism compromises the mental and behavioral health and well-being of Black children\, adolescents\, and emerging adults. Anchored by cultural ecological models recognizing the importance of risk and resilience at the individual and contextual level\, his research leverages both quantitative and qualitative methods to identify how Black youth identify\, cope with\, and navigate racism-related experiences across sensitive developmental periods. Ultimately\, the goal of his research is to eliminate racial disparities in mental and behavioral health through informing policy and intervention development targeting the reduction of racism and its related health consequences.\n\nMyles Durkee 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.

An edge-Kempe switch swaps the two colors on a maximal two-color chain of edges\, and these moves partition the edge colorings of a graph into edge-Kempe equivalence classes. Ruth Haas and sarah-marie belcastro proved that a 3-regular\, 3-edge-colored\, planar\, bipartite graph has one edge-Kempe equivalence class. In this talk\, we will discuss that proof and speculate on its applications to webs. We will also count the edge-Kempe equivalence classes of some nonplanar\, bipartite\, 3-regular graphs.

Under the assumption that K is absolutely unramified\, I will describe an alternative approach to obtaining such a bound using Wach modules and q–crystalline cohomology. The resulting bound is stronger than the one obtained via Breuil-Kisin theory\, and in particular\, it is able to distinguish the good reduction case from the more general case of semistable reduction.

Unlike other articles of incorporation submitted by sixteenth-century Spanish subjects\, their company was time-bound\, authorized for six years\, focused on extracting the sacred guaca (living site of offerings) of Manducalla. Each investor was identified in a different way\, as an index of their race\, gender\, and artisan status: Hernán Garcia\, of African descent (\"mulato\")\; Mari Flores\, \"his wife\" (\"su muger\")\; Blas García\, of Indigenous ancestry (\"mestizo\")\; and Juan Vallejo\, chairmaker (\"sillero\"). In this talk\, I compare the terms of the 1569 contract with a similar proposal awarded in 1636 by Spanish colonial officials\, treasurers Pedro de Sanabria and Juan de los Reyes\, \"discoverers and knowers\" of a guaca whose rights of extraction they seek to award to Father Pedro Garrido. Unlike the earlier example\, this case dragged on for nearly 20 years. By looking at the legal language of possession\, discovery\, and extraction in the two cases\, this talk examines how race and gender intersected with state-sanctioned sacred and technical knowledge from the late sixteenth-century into the mid-seventeenth century.

Leading diplomatic efforts on behalf of the opposition\, Kara-Murza played a key role in the adoption of Magnitsky sanctions against top Russian officials by the United States\, United Kingdom\, European Union\, Canada\, and Australia. For this work he was twice poisoned and left in a coma\; a joint media investigation by *Bellingcat*\, *The Insider*\, and *Der Spiegel* has identified FSB officers behind the attacks. In April 2022\, Kara-Murza was arrested in Moscow for publicly denouncing the invasion of Ukraine and the war crimes committed by Russian forces. Following a closed-door trial at the Moscow City Court\, he was sentenced to 25 years for “high treason” and kept in solitary confinement at a maximum-security prison in Siberia. He was released in August 2024 as part of the largest East-West prisoner exchange since the Cold War negotiated by the U.S. and German governments.\n\nKara-Murza is a contributing writer at *The Washington Post*\, winning the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for his columns written from prison\, and has previously worked for Echo of Moscow\, BBC\, RTVi\, *Kommersant*\, *World Affairs*\, and other media organizations. He currently serves as vice-president at the Free Russia Foundation\, as senior advisor at Human Rights First\, and as senior fellow at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights. He was the founding chairman of the Boris Nemtsov Foundation for Freedom and has led successful international efforts to commemorate Nemtsov\, including with street designations in Washington D.C. and London. Kara-Murza is a recipient of several awards\, including the Council of Europe’s Václav Havel Human Rights Prize\, and is an honorary fellow at Trinity Hall\, Cambridge.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

However\, the nonlinear nature of rigid body motion introduces significant challenges\, making problems such as motion planning\, feedback control\, and state estimation inherently nonconvex and difficult to solve.\n \nIn this thesis\, I first present a unified modeling framework based on matrix Lie groups\, which captures the rich algebraic and geometric structures of rigid body systems to enable systematic analysis and computation. Building on this foundation\, I exploit the underlying polynomial structures of matrix Lie groups to develop globally optimal and certifiable solutions to these robotics problems via convex optimization. Notably\, I address the kinodynamic motion planning problem — ensuring both kinematic and dynamic feasibility — for 3D rigid body systems with global optimality guarantees. I then introduce the Generalized Moment Kalman Filter\, a novel extension of Kalman filtering theory from linear Gaussian systems to nonlinear polynomial systems with arbitrary noise distributions. This generalization enables more robust and accurate state estimation in complex robotic systems. Finally\, I leverage the geometric properties of matrix Lie groups to design efficient local gradient-based solvers tailored for rigid body systems. In particular\, I present the Riemannian Direct Trajectory Optimization framework\, which ensures geometric compatibility while enabling fast and efficient motion planning.\n \nTogether\, these contributions provide a comprehensive set of tools for certifiable\, efficient\, and geometrically consistent motion planning and state estimation in rigid body robotic systems.\n\n1000 Robotics Atrium\,\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/98764011774 \nMeeting ID: 987 6401 1774 \nPasscode: 83112 UID:134078-21873839@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134078 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building - 1000 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250319T181658 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SMTD Alumni Award Lecture & Reception with Alexandra Beller (BFA ’94\, dance) DESCRIPTION:Join us as the Department of Dance honors special guest artist and dance alum Alexandra Beller as she is presented with the 2024 Professional Achievement in Dance Award from the SMTD Alumni Board.\n\n10–11am - Presentation / Lecture -\nDance Performance Studio Theatre (Studio 1\, Room 1040)\n\n11am–12pm - Lunch Reception with Informal Talk - \nPerry K.

Even compared to other jobs for those without college degrees\, service work is characterized by shorter tenure and less access to full-time hours\, patterns that are visible in national data and are more pronounced for those with children. In novel data collected through daily text-message reports from hourly service workers with young children\, we document additional patterns of volatility that have not previously been visible: in particular\, daily and weekly volatility in work hours. We show that this volatility requires workers aiming to maximize their earnings to set aside many more hours for work than they are actually paid for–on average\, twice as many. We develop novel statistics to capture these forms of volatility and to describe their sources. Finally\, we discuss the implications of these findings for both means-tested programs and earnings-linked tax credits\, the two major forms of income support provided by the federal government to families with children.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621552@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250312T110013 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T125000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How Do Consumers Finance Increased Retirement Savings? DESCRIPTION:Higher retirement savings might not translate into net wealth accumulation if\, rather than cutting spending\, individuals reduce their non-retirement savings or take on more debt. We use newly merged deposit-\, credit-\, and pension-account data from a large UK financial institution to examine a national policy that gradually increased retirement contributions from 2% to 8% of salary between March 2018 and April 2019. For every £1 reduction in take-home pay due to higher employee contributions\, employees cut their spending by £0.34\, especially in the restaurant and leisure categories\, and financed the remainder with lower deposit balances and higher debt. Those with lower initial deposit balances cut their spending the most\, while those with significant liquid savings first draw down their deposits. We use a lifecycle model calibrated to match the observed short-term responses to predict that long-run spending responses are larger but feature similar heterogeneity. Finally\, we examine the welfare consequences of potential policy reforms using a sufficient statistics approach. A social planner concerned about undersaving for retirement due to heterogeneous present bias would avoid targeting retirement interventions at high-liquidity individuals\, who are both less likely to cut their spending and less likely to be present-biased.

To explain this wealth of defense traits\, researchers have developed a body of theory that uses patterns of ecological pressures in the environment to predict investment in defense\, but the importance of biological and geographic scale in determining which selective pressures dominate is only beginning to be tested. In this dissertation\, I explore the patterns and processes of defense trait evolution in plants\, examining whether defense investment across scales matches up with plant defense theory. Using the wild grape genus Vitis as my primary study system\, I synthesize comparative trait and occurrence data with mechanistic investigations of the processes that shape trait investment. In my first two chapters\, I use a phylogenetic framework to compare and contrast how patterns of trait evolution match up to plant defense theory depending on whether they are evaluated at the intraspecific or interspecific scale\, while considering a large body of traits associated with defense. I found that trait-trait correlations are rare across Vitis species compared to trait-environment correlations\, but that both types of interactions are scale-dependent. These results suggest that defenses in grape largely evolve independent of each other\, but that features of the environment thought to correlate with herbivory pressure are relatively better predictors of defense trait evolution. My third and fourth chapters center on calcium oxalate crystals in plant leaves\, an understudied trait that I use as a model to understand the mechanisms of plant defense evolution. As long as we have known about calcium oxalate crystal presence in plants\, researchers have believed that these structures are defensive against herbivory\, but recent literature has challenged that assumption. Through a systematic literature survey\, I find that crystal morphologies correlate differentially with geographic parameters\, suggesting that this morphological variation evolved in response to different ecological pressures. Additionally\, through experimental diet manipulations using a generalist herbivore\, I find that Vitis riparia-derived crystals do not operate as a defense against chewing arthropods\, but do seem to serve as a dynamic storage system for calcium in grape. By linking phylogenetic comparative and experimental approaches in tests of theory\, my dissertation provides us with a broader understanding of plant defense evolution in wild grape and beyond.\n\nThis is a hybrid event. \nJoin remotely: Join Remotely: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94285293918\nMeeting ID: 942 8529 3918\nPasscode: tuesem UID:133720-21873484@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133720 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biological science,Biology,department of ecology and evolutionary biology,Dissertation,ecology,Ecology & Biology,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,eeb,Graduate School,Graduate Students,Herbarium,Museum - Herbarium,Museum - Zoology,Museum Of Zoology,science,zoology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250313T134409 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250325T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE Faculty-Student Lunch: Prof. Julie Ivy DESCRIPTION:Please fill out the form to the right if you would like to attend the faculty-student lunch with Prof. Julie Ivy on Tuesday\, March 25th from 12:00 - 1:00pm!

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.

Little is known about these performers and their work because these “archives of embarrassment” have been obscured by liberal identitarian desires for the “authentic” or “real” Asian American subject. I argue that these performers’ supporting roles\, background parts\, walk-ons\, and other sundry acting or acting-adjacent jobs produce what I call “Asian American non-stardom\,” and that this racialized labor has been foundational to the American entertainment industry.\n\nMelissa Phruksachart is a 2024-25 John Rich Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanitied and Assistant Professor of Film\, Television\, & Media.

One of the central examples of this principle is the noetherianity of the infinite variable polynomial ring R=C[x_1\,x_2\,...] with the action of the infinite symmetric group \frakS permuting variables. In this thesis\, we further develop the equivariant commutative algebra of R by studying symmetric R-modules\, i.e.\, R-modules equipped with a compatible \frakS-action. In particular\, we study the local behavior of such modules over the \frakS-prime ideals h_n=(x_i^n:i\geq 1)\, and prove a number of structural results on the category of symmetric R/h_n-modules\, including giving a semi-orthogonal decomposition and generators for the bounded derived category of modules.\n\nAn important tool for our study is representation theory of various combinatorial categories\, such as a generalization of FI to a weighted setting. By proving an equivalence between weighted FI-modules and modules over infinite variable polynomial rings that are equivariant with respect to parabolic subgroups of the infinite general linear group\, we give finiteness properties of weighted FI-modules\, such as the rationality of an analogue of the Hilbert series and finite generation of local cohomology. Along the way\, we relate the polynomial representation theory of these parabolic subgroups to generalizations of Schur functors from categories consisting of flags of vector spaces.

The advent of state-of-the-art angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with nanoscale spatial resolution (nanoARPES)\, combined with its ability to probe fully functional devices\, has opened new avenues for directly visualizing exotic electronic phenomena in these systems. In this talk\, I will present our work leveraging cutting-edge in-operando nanoARPES to directly map the electronic properties of vdW heterostructures and their functional devices. I will highlight experiments that demonstrate on-demand tuning of the electronic structure by varying the substrate\, twist angle\, alkali metal doping\, and applying an electric field. First\, I will discuss the formation of quasiparticle-like trions and polarons arising from strong many-body interactions in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based heterostructures. Next\, I will present our recent findings on the electronic structure of bilayer graphene on two distinct insulating substrates—hBN and RuCl₃—revealing intriguing new features. Time permitting\, I will also show how electric field tuning can modulate electronic interactions\, leading to van Hove singularities and flat bands in twisted bilayer graphene and twisted double bilayer graphene heterostructures.\n\nBio: \nJyoti Katoch is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University.

As a result\, animals experience various environmental changes that occur simultaneously\, requiring them to cope daily with multidimensional environmental variation. A key approach to addressing the fundamental question of whether and how populations can successfully adapt to environmental variability is to study how organisms respond to environmental changes by modifying their physiology and the consequences of these responses. Traits such as hormones and metabolic rates are not only highly sensitive to environmental fluctuations but also inherently flexible\, allowing for rapid responses that vary across different levels—from species to populations\, to individuals\, and even within individuals. In this talk\, I first describe how the responsiveness of physiological traits to environmental changes\, known as phenotypic plasticity\, can be measured by quantifying the degree of change via the slope of their reaction norm. Second\, I use data from a captive songbird population that I repeatedly exposed to a simulated cold spell\, to demonstrate that important information can be gained by quantifying variation in plasticity both among and within individuals in key physiological traits\, such as plasma concentrations of corticosterone and rates of organismal metabolism. Third\, I highlight the evolutionary implications of such variation in reaction norm slopes by reviewing available evidence that plasticity plays a crucial role in enabling evolutionary adaptation\, including insights from my own work. Finally\, I conclude by describing promising areas for future research and argue that studying variation in physiological plasticity is crucial for assessing the viability of species and populations in our ever-changing world.

With the establishment of the American Association of Teachers of Korean (aka AATK) in 1994\, Korean language education was at a dramatic turning point in terms of practical classroom teaching as well as Korean as a second or foreign language (KSL/KFL) research. AATK will celebrate its 30-year anniversary in 2025 and it is a perfect time to reassess what has been done during the past three decades and what needs to be done moving forward. In this era of globalization and the spread of Hallyu worldwide\, learning Korean language and culture has become a worthy endeavor for many students\, heritage learners and non-heritage learners alike. In this talk\, I will be reflecting on 30 years of Korean language education in U.S. higher education from both practical and academic perspectives.\n \nHye-Sook Wang is an associate professor of East Asian Studies at Brown University. She is the author of Generation Gap and Other Essays and Frog's Tears and Other Stories (both by Cheng & Tsui)\, editor of Rise of Korean Language Programs in U.S. Institutes of Higher Education (2015\, Korea University Press) and Sociolinguistics and Korean Language Education (forthcoming in 2024\, Institute of East Asian Studies\, UC-Berkeley)\, and co-author of Integrated Korean: High Advanced I & II 1st & 2nd Ed. (University of Hawaii Press\, 2005\, 2025) in addition to many journal articles.

Drawing on extensive fieldwork in Berlin\, London\, and New York\, she examined motivations for departure and feelings of unbelonging to the Israeli national collective. Amit showed that sexual orientation and left-wing political affiliation play significant roles in decisions to leave. Amit investigated how queer Israeli emigrants question national and heterosexual norms such as army service\, monogamy\, and reproduction\, in their decision to leave Israel. In her new research project\, Amit is conducting interviews with queer Jewish Americans grappling with notions of Homeland and Belonging\, particularly in the wake of the October 7th events and their profound global reverberations.\n\nMeanwhile\, her two fiction books center on queer experiences in Israel/Palestine\, offering intimate\, layered portrayals of life at the margin of society. Her new fiction work deals with a possible loss of the Hebrew language and a possible obsolescence of the state of Israel. \n\nThe conversation with Amit will delve into how these themes converge in Amit’s creative and scholarly practices. It will explore the tensions between rootedness and mobility\, the impact of historical trauma on personal and collective identity\, and the possibilities for imagining alternative futures through queer lenses. Amit will also reflect on the role of storytelling—fictional and academic—as a tool for navigating the complexities of identity\, belonging\, and resistance in times of upheaval.

In highly viscous fluid flows\, the Navier-Stokes equations can be linearized to obtain the Stokes equations\, which are amenable to Green’s function analysis. Due to its relevance in fluid dynamics\, the Stokes equations are widely discussed in physics and engineering literature. Many of these resources use formal calculations and avoid rigorous mathematical justification. To address this gap in the literature\, we will derive the fundamental solution of the Stokes equations in free space and prove some of its key properties by drawing from the theory of distributions. We will then find the Green’s function for the Stokes equations on a half-space by using the Papkovich-Neuber representation. The formula obtained is simpler and easier to implement compared to the classical solution originally developed by J.R. Blake.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

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

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

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621553@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250326T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250326T170000 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).

We find there is a stark contrast between the perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of the theory. Semi-classically there is rich physics. However\, when non-perturbative effects are included we see the puzzling feature that there is a unique closed universe state in each theory.

Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky and Its Afterlives DESCRIPTION:In 1938\, the Russian director Sergei Eisenstein finished his first sound film\, Alexander Nevsky\, a historical epic that casts a thirteenth-century Russian victory over invading Teutonic Knights as an allegory of contemporary Soviet strength in the face of Nazi warmongering. Now a classic of Soviet cinema\, the film also boasts what has become one of the best-known musical scores in cinematic history. Composed by Sergei Prokofiev\, the score has appeared in a striking number of formats beyond the film\, from simple piano arrangements to a full-length cantata for orchestra and chorus. These versions have taken the music far beyond the film’s international circulation\, sparking critical debates that are a significant but largely unknown aspect of the film’s legacy.\n\n This presentation follows Prokofiev’s music for Alexander Nevsky from its inception through the present day\, considering both the music’s genesis as well as the surprisingly varied ways it has engaged listeners over the past nine decades\, from its beginnings as state propaganda in the 1930s to showpiece for high-fidelity recording in the 1950s to open-air concert favorite in the post-Soviet 1990s.\n \n Kevin Bartig is Professor of Musicology at Michigan State University. His research focuses on music in Eastern Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, and his published work has contributed to music\, film\, Slavic\, and theater studies. His first book\, Composing for the Red Screen: Prokofiev and Soviet Film (Oxford University Press\, 2013)\, draws on research in Russian archives to examine Sergei Prokofiev’s collaborations with leading figures in the early history of cinema. He further explores these creative figures’ encounters with Soviet censorship and the reception of their work during the Cold War and beyond in his second book\, Sergei Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky (Oxford University Press\, 2017). Bartig’s most recent book is the edited volume Three Loves for Three Oranges: Gozzi\, Meyerhold\, Prokofiev (Indiana University Press\, 2021)\, which examines key modernist developments in twentieth-century Russian theatre and opera. The volume received the 2022 American Society for Theatre Research Translation Prize.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

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

Morphological traits often follow Bergmann's and Allen's rules\, in which species adapted to colder climates tend to have larger body sizes (Bergmann's) and smaller limb-to-body ratios (LBR) (Allen's rule) to retain heat. However\, neotropical primate research on thermoregulation has focused on behavioral strategies\, overlooking morphological adaptations. I examined Bergmann's and Allen's rules in Alouatta pigra and A. palliata\, sister species that diverged ~3 MYA. Given A. pigra's evolutionary history\, and its thicker pelage and presence in higher altitudes than A. palliata\, I expected A. pigra to have larger body sizes and smaller LBR than A. palliata. I then extended my analysis to backcrossed hybrids of the two species to assess the influence of admixture on body size and LBR in a warmer hybrid zone. My results were consistent with Bergmann's and Allen's rule. Understanding primate thermoregulation is crucial for conservation\, as it sheds light on their capacity to adapt to changing environments.\"\n\nPoster photo credits: Milagros González\n\nThis is a hybrid event. \nTo join remotely: \nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98320971369\nMeeting ID: 983 2097 1369\nPasscode: howler UID:133975-21873738@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133975 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:department of ecology and evolutionary biology,Dissertation,Ecology & Biology,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,eeb,Graduate,Graduate Students,In Person,Thesis Defense,zoology LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 4150 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250213T095243 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250326T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250326T140000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:U-M Onboarding: Updated Tools to Enhance the New Employee Experience DESCRIPTION:Course details and registration are available on the Organizational Learning website.

However\, in the past two decades\, valuations have also gained prominence in the theory of matroids. As every matroid gives rise to a matroid polytope\, one can develop a theory of subdivisions and valuations for matroids. In this talk\, we'll introduce valuations on matroids and examine a result of Derksen and Fink which says that Schubert matroids are a basis for matroids modulo valuation.

How were they built? What were they used for? Are there unknown internal substructures\, perhaps hidden chambers that have yet to be discovered? Using the detector technology we developed for a particle physics experiment at Fermilab\, we intend to perform non-invasive searches for hidden structures at the Great Pyramid of Khufu\, in Egypt\, and at the Temple of Kukulkán at Chichén Itzá. The apparatus will detect cosmic-ray muons produced high in the atmosphere that course through the pyramids to produce a tomographic image of their interiors. I will review the status of both projects\, describe in detail the technique we intend to use\, present recent simulation results and detector fabrication and test-beam results.

What we are seeing is not only progress in individual separate areas of plasma physics and technology\, whether it is fusion\, astro/space\, materials or even biomedical applications\; but also growing interconnectivity among these areas.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Roald Sagdeev is a distinguished plasma physicist whose pioneering work in controlled fusion\, and space research has left a lasting impact on the field. Born in the Soviet Union\, he became one of the youngest full academicians of the USSR Academy of Sciences at the age of 35. From 1973 to 1988\, Dr. Sagdeev was director of the Soviet Space Research Institute\, where he played a crucial role in groundbreaking space missions\, including the Venera probes to Venus\, Vega mission to Halley’s Comet\, Phobos missions to Mars’ moons\, and the Soyuz-Apollo Test Project\, the first U.S.-Soviet space collaboration. His leadership helped advance international space cooperation during the Cold War. Dr. Sagdeev has been an influential voice in space policy and arms control. In 1990\, he moved to the United States and became a professor at the University of Maryland\, where he continued his research in plasma physics\, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)\, and international scientific collaboration. Dr. Sagdeev’s groundbreaking work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of plasma dynamics and space exploration\, cementing his legacy as one of the most influential figures in modern space science.

An odd prime p is called irregular if it divides the class number of the cyclotomic field Q(\mu_p). On the other hand\, there are so-called Bernoulli numbers which appear as special values of L-functions. Kummer proved that a prime is irregular if and only if it divides certain Bernoulli numbers. The Herbrand-Ribet theorem is a refinement of Kummer's criterion. Ribet's elegant proof weaves together different facets of number theory\, including modular forms\, Galois representations\, and class field theory. We will explain relevant notions in modular forms before focusing on the construction of Galois representations from cusp eigenforms.

Extreme weather consists of low-probability occurrences with high intensities that often devastate\nsociety\, the environment\, and the economy. Earthen infrastructure such as coastal dunes\, embankments\, and levees can be\ncompromised when their design and construction requirements do not consider the critical conditions they experience. Studies\nconducted using field investigations\, physical and numerical modeling\, and geospatial analysis provide insight into the\neffectiveness of instrumentation and remote sensing. Determining the limitations in data is necessary to frame the sustainable\nsolutions presented.\n\nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Spears is a Research Assistant Professor at Tennessee State University. Before earning her PhD in Civil\nGUEST SPEAKER\nEngineering at Jackson State University\, Dr. Spears earned her BSE and MSE in Civil Engineering from the University of\nMichigan and the University of Texas at Austin\, respectively. Following obtaining her master’s\, she worked in the civil\nengineering consulting industry. She also received her PE license in Civil/Geotechnical Engineering from the state of Michigan.\nDr. Spears’ research focuses on Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering to understand the impacts of extreme\nweather on earthen infrastructure and determine sustainable solutions. She has conducted local\, state-wide\, and international\nresearch. As a Detroit native and alum of Michigan Engineering's former Summer Engineering Academy pre-collegiate\nprograms\, M-Engin Academy\, NSBE\, LSAMP\, ASCE\, Alternative Spring Break – Chicago\, Novice Women's Rowing\, and former\nMustard Seed Campus Ministry\, Dr. Spears takes Michigan's legacy with her wherever she goes.

DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I present the results of my last paper related to viscosity solutions for HJB equations posed on networks\, of second order type and non degenerate at the vertex. The key point is to use the new boundary condition at the junction point\, called: nonlinear local-time Kirchhoff's boundary condition\, and build test functions with local-time derivatives absorbing the: Kirchhoff's speed of the Hamiltonians. Note that even without the presence of the external local-time variable in the HJB problems already studied in the literature\, the ‘artificial’ introduction of this deterministic local-time variable\, allowed an answer to a Lions-Souganidis problem to the fully nonlinear and non degenerate framework. Finally\, it is important also to emphasize that the comparison theorem for viscosity solutions is stated here in the strong sense for the Kirchhoff’s boundary condition\, namely without any dependency of the values of the Hamiltonians at the boundary\, which is also innovative for Neumann problems in the nonlinear case for viscosity theory.

The complexity of this ecosystem is heightened by its reliance on multimodal data from diverse sources\, demanding robust methods for data integration\, processing\, and analysis. This framework underscores two pivotal components: Biomedical Semantics and Data Intelligence. In my research\, I have actively engaged in these two critical steps\, striving to develop solutions that bridge the gap between data science and tangible clinical and biomedical impacts. Overcoming these challenges necessitates the development of advanced informatics techniques\, including strategies for data standardization and integration\, as well as methods for knowledge representation and subsequent inference and analysis.

This question has a positive answer when varieties are smooth or simple normal crossing\, and a negative answer in more general cases. The emphasis will be on the structure of the Grothendieck ring of varieties and on the groups of birational self-maps of algebraic varieties. This will be an overview of the work of many people in the last 25 years since Gromov's original formulation\, including Larsen-Lunts\, Borisov\, Zakharevich\, Hassett-Lai\, Kontsevich-Tschinkel\, and most recently\, work by Lin and myself.

These matrices arise naturally when looking at the empirical Hessians of many high-dimensional statistical tasks at different points in parameter space\, to probe the local geometry of their loss landscapes. We prove limits for the bulk distribution and any outlier eigenvalues\, in a way that only depends on the point in parameter space through finitely many “summary statistics” of the parameter. This allows us to probe the evolution of the Hessian as one moves through parameter space via some training dynamics like stochastic gradient descent\, establishing interesting phenomena like splitting and emergence of outliers over the course of training in basic classification tasks. Based on joint work with G. Ben Arous\, J. Huang\, and A. Jagannath.

One heuristic that is used to study the absence of such a submanifold is parabolic cohomology–in particular\, if the parabolic cohomology is known to vanish in specific settings\, then it serves as an obstruction to bending along a totally geodesic hypersurface. In this talk\, we consider the Borromean rings complement\, which is known to not admit any closed embedded totally geodesic surfaces but still has interesting parabolic cohomology. We construct a complex of surfaces that can be used to explain these deformations.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

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

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818075@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250110T170530 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250327T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250327T163000 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.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621554@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T063208 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250327T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250327T120000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Cover Letters & Resumes for Internships and Positions Beyond the Tenure Track DESCRIPTION:This workshop is open to all graduate students seeking guidance on cover letters and resumes for positions beyond tenure track roles.It also meets the needs of those applying for internships\, including those applying to the Rackham Doctoral Intern Fellowship Program.

Spin defects in solids possess a far broader set of potential applications\, including for biosensing\, quantum transduction and memory. I will describe some general features of spin-coherent centers in wide bandgap hosts (e.g. diamond\, silicon carbide\, oxides) and the challenges (experimental and theoretical) that must be overcome to produce practical quantum technologies. The main examples will be (1) noise in quantum sensing [1] and its suppression in diamond nanoparticles for biosensing [2]\, (2) crystal field splittings of rare-earth dopants and implications for quantum memory and transduction (i.e. in oxides and GaN) [3]\, and (3) hybrid quantum systems involving magnets [4]. \n[1] PRB 110\, 174450 (2024)\; PRB 110\, 024419 (2024).\n[2] arXiv:2305.03075\n[3] arXiv:2501.03348\; arXiv:2501.03353\; arXiv:2503.12194\n[4] Mater.

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).

First\, we provide the first ex-post microeconomic welfare analysis of this central component of the IRA. Event studies around changes in eligibility for EV tax credits show credits were largely passed-through to consumers. Additionally\, domestic content restrictions on tax credits for purchased vehicles have driven enormous shifts to leasing. Our equilibrium model shows that compared to pre-IRA policy\, IRA EV credits generated $1.87 of US benefits per dollar spent in 2023\, at taxpayer cost of $32\,000 per additional EV sold. Compared to scenarios with no EV credits\, however\, the IRA EV credits created only $1.02 of benefits per dollar of government spending. Second\, we characterize the gains from policies targeting heterogeneity in externalities across vehicles. We find that relative to uniform credits\, differentiating credits across EVs according to their heterogeneous externalities would substantially increase policy benefits. Third\, we quantify tradeoffs in the IRA EV credits between foreign and domestic welfare and between trade and the environment. We find that the IRA EV credits benefit the environment but undermine trade\, since they decrease global carbon emissions but use profit shifting to decrease foreign producer surplus. A controversial IRA loophole that removes domestic content restrictions on tax credits for EV leases has negative domestic benefits.

Contemporary welfare states achieve higher equality by raising revenue from a regressive consumption tax than from a progressive income tax to be redistributed through public expenditures. As Professor Kato will discuss\, the politics of taxation matters for this unexpected consequence among long democracies.\n \n Junko Kato (PhD\, Yale University) is a professor of political science at the University of Tokyo. Her research focuses on comparative politics on taxation and the welfare state\, party coalitions and government formation\, and neuro-cognitive analyses of social decisions and behavior. She has authored articles in *American Political Science Review\, British Journal of Political Science\, Electoral Studies\, Governance\,* in addition to two books\, *The Problem of Bureaucratic Rationality* (Princeton University Press\, 1994) and *Regressive Taxation and the Welfare State* (Cambridge University Press\, 2003)\, and numerous book chapters. Professor Kato served as co-editor-in-chief of *Japanese Journal of Political Science* (2019~2023) and has been on the editorial boards of several journals\, including *British Journal of Political Science* (1996~2016)\, *Perspectives on Public Management and Governance* (2016~)\, and *Journal of East Asian Studies* (2021~). She has launched neuro-cognitive approaches to social sciences and published articles on fMRI experiments of human decision and behavior in *Frontiers in Neuroscience\, Scientific Reports\, and Cerebral Cortex.*\n \n *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu.

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

Uniting incarceration and capitalism\, the village of Auburn built a prison that enclosed industrial factories. There\, “slaves of the state” were leased to private companies. The prisoners earned no wages\, yet they manufactured furniture\, animal harnesses\, carpets\, and combs\, which consumers bought throughout the North. Then one young man challenged the system.\n\nIn Freeman’s Challenge\, Robin Bernstein tells the story of an Afro-Native teenager named William Freeman who was convicted of a horse theft he insisted he did not commit and sentenced to five years of hard labor in Auburn’s prison. Incensed at being forced to work without pay\, Freeman demanded wages. His challenge triggered violence: first against him\, then by him. Freeman committed a murder that terrified and bewildered white America. And white America struck back—with aftereffects that reverberate into our lives today in the persistent myth of inherent Black criminality. William Freeman’s unforgettable story reveals how the North invented prison for profit half a century before the Thirteenth Amendment outlawed slavery “except as a punishment for crime”—and how Frederick Douglass\, Harriet Tubman\, and other African Americans invented strategies of resilience and resistance in a city dominated by a citadel of unfreedom.\n\nThrough one Black man\, his family\, and his city\, Bernstein tells an explosive\, moving story about the entangled origins of prison for profit and anti-Black racism.

Media measurement suppliers\, from\ncustom research houses to Nielsen\, have scrambled to align different\, sometimes\nincompatible\, data streams and to develop new media metrics to account for all the\nprospects in digital viewership. These moves privileging quantitative data to explain the\nbehavior and choices of the viewer appear to leave a reduced role for qualitative\nresearch methods. Even burgeoning methods looking at individual viewers\, such as\nbiometrics and neuroimaging\, rely on gathering quantitative data as a means of\nexplanation. In the pre-digital landscape\, qualitative methods\, from focus groups to\nethnographies and in-depth interviews\, played a larger part in the audience research\nmarketplace. While the delivery method and formats have shifted\, entertainment still\nrelies on character\, storytelling and connecting emotionally with a media text. All these\nissues can be gauged in a more meaningful way through qualitative research. This\npresentation addresses the role of qualitative research in a digital media environment\nincreasingly defined by media metrics. Without diminishing the value of the developing\nquantitative audience metrics and methods\, the goal is to understand what can be\ngained by returning to specific qualitative research approaches to understand the new\nworld of multiple screens\, multitasking\, social media marketing\, and fragmented\nviewership.\nBio:\nJustin Wyatt is Chair of Communication Studies at the University of Rhode Island. He\nworked professionally for 15 years on both the client and supplier sides of the media\nmarket research industry.

He has published on media marketing\, history and\nindustrial practice over the past three decades.

His research applies techniques from optimization\, stochastic modeling\, and revenue management to problems in transportation\, online platforms\, and humanitarian immigration among others. His work has been recognized with the George B. Dantzig Dissertation Award (2018) and the Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in Operations Research and Analytics (2018)\, as well as best paper awards from APS (2021) MSOM (2023)\, Service Science (2024)\, and PSOR (runner-up\, 2024). Daniel is an AE for Operations Research and Transportation Science and frequently serves on ACM program committees (e.g.\, EC\, EAAMO\, TheWebConf). Before joining MIT\, Daniel received a PhD from Cornell University and was a postdoc in Lyft’s Marketplace Labs.\n\nAbstract:\nIn this talk\, I will give an overview of my recent work at the intersection of humanitarian immigration and operations\, focusing on two scheduling applications: the dedicated docket in immigration courts for defensive asylum cases and USCIS’s prioritization policy for the scheduling of affirmative asylum interviews. Both settings involve service systems designed to evaluate promptly whether or not an applicant should get asylum\, and both settings deviate from traditional FIFO policies. However\, in contrast to traditional service systems\, both settings involve the benefits of waiting. I will discuss how these benefits can be modeled in both applications to capture key performance indicators\, and highlight the impact of scheduling policies on the efficiency and fairness of both service systems.\n\nThis talk is based on joint work with my PhD student\, Wentao Weng. A preprint of the first paper can be found here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4785713. This work received recognition as the 2024 Best Service Science Paper on DEIJ and as the runner-up for the 2024 Public Sector OR Best Paper Award.

Meanwhile\, through the Weil conjectures\, the topology (specifically\, l-adic cohomology) of certain moduli spaces of algebraic functions has had a profound impact on number theory. In this talk\, I will outline a framework for studying the cohomology of the moduli space of algebraic maps Alg(X\, Y) under certain conditions on X and Y. Our methods\, in particular\, confirm the geometric Manin's conjecture\, which predicts an asymptotic estimate for the number of algebraic maps over finite fields\, in the special case where Y is a complete simplicial toric variety and X is a curve. No prior knowledge of algebraic geometry beyond that of a typical first-year graduate student will be assumed.

In particular\, due to physical limitations of hardware-only systems\, it is difficult to develop imaging systems that can capture multidimensional information about dynamic samples at high resolution\, wide fields of view\, and high frame/volume rates. In this talk\, I present several high-throughput computational optical imaging systems from my research that take advantage of parallelized designs and large-scale multidimensional image reconstruction algorithms to achieve spatiotemporal throughputs of several billion pixels or voxels per second. I show that these new imaging capabilities enable high-resolution\, high-speed observation of the behaviors of multiple freely moving organisms in parallel\, in particular ants\, zebrafish\, fruit flies\, and C. elegans. As I start my lab at the University of Michigan\, I aim to continue pushing the boundaries of computational optical imaging to achieve orders of magnitude higher spatiotemporal throughputs to accelerate scientific discovery in biology and medicine.

Time domain microlensing surveys are particularly valuable for finding isolated black holes in our Milky Way. Microlensing probes black holes across the mass spectrum in a relatively unbiased manner. I will present observational results\, including the first detection of a free-floating black hole\, and population simulations that show how sensitive microlensing surveys are to the black hole mass function\, binary fraction\, and velocity distribution. I will also discuss the photometric and astrometric technologies needed to expand the sample of stellar mass black holes know in the Milky Way\, including next-generation adaptive optics systems for precise astrometry\, small space satellites for precise photometry over wide fields\, and large space observatories\, such as the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope\, that simultaneously deliver photometry and astrometry for microlensing events. These technologies and observatories will likely expand the sample of known Milky Way black holes by 100x in the coming decade.

One important class of such modules is the class of local cohomology modules of a ring of positive characteristic. For this class of modules HSL numbers can be connected to various F-singularities\, such as F-nilpotency and F-rationality. In this talk we give an upper bound for the HSL numbers of the local cohomology modules of pointed affine semigroup rings.

This question has a positive answer when varieties are smooth or simple normal crossing\, and a negative answer in more general cases. The emphasis will be on the structure of the Grothendieck ring of varieties and on the groups of birational self-maps of algebraic varieties. This will be an overview of the work of many people in the last 25 years since Gromov's original formulation\, including Larsen-Lunts\, Borisov\, Zakharevich\, Hassett-Lai\, Kontsevich-Tschinkel\, and most recently\, work by Lin and myself.

The first platform\, pressure-driven droplet microfluidics\, continuously generates sub-nanoliter oil droplets to enable the chemical analysis of equally small aqueous samples. By preloading arrays of sensing oils and controlling their flow\, this system allows for real-time\, multi-analyte monitoring\, making it a promising tool for bedside critical care applications in hospitals. The second platform\, push-pull millifluidics\, integrates a microliter-sized liquid channel with a stepper motor to facilitate controlled extraction between an oil segment and an aqueous sample. Designed for portability and affordability\, this system offers a practical solution for diagnosing and managing chronic diseases in home and small-clinic settings. Unlike traditional optical sensors\, these fluidic platforms uniquely enable the independent tracking of optical signals from the sensor phase\, sample phase\, and interface. Leveraging fluorescence and absorbance detection in the sensor phase\, we have successfully performed chemical analyses on complex biological samples\, including whole blood.

This event honors Rao's 2024 Professional Achievement in Music Award from the SMTD Alumni Board. All are welcome for the lecture (4:30-6:00 pm) and a reception to follow (6:00-7:00 pm).\n\nCantonese opera was woven into the Chinese community's cultural\, financial\, social\, and family life in 19th-century California. Yet excavating its music and performing history is nearly impossible\, not only because of archival hierarchy but also due to various forms of erasure. This lecture addresses the challenge\, particularly the need to 'listen for the unsaid\, translate misconstrued words\, and refashion disfigured lives.' It begins by discussing how a laborer's diary entries give color to the faded image of 19th-century Chinese theater in San Francisco and pull us into its everydayness. It then considers the theater institutionally as an expression of the transpacific community. At conclusion it considers the music and significance of a 1903 recording of Cantonese opera.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER\n\nNANCY YUNHWA RAO is Distinguished Professor at Rutgers University.

In this interactive barbershop workshop we will explore the origins\, themes\, and impact of Red Pill and Manosphere content on individuals and society. Through guided discussions\, activities\, and real-world examples\, participants will critically examine these ideologies and reflect on how to cultivate healthier and more empowering perspectives on masculinity and relationships.\nAbout M-CLIC: M-CLIC is a university-wide mentorship initiative open to all participants of any race or gender who seek to engage and foster a stronger sense of community and support for men of color at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. Event Highlight: M-CLIC's signature workshop\, the \"CLIC-N-CUTZ\" Barbershop Series\, a unique\, informative\, and safe-spaced barbershop experience.

But institutional narratives have often erased the experiences of Black medical students—particularly those from its early years. CREATE Center postdoctoral research fellow Tonya Kneff-Chang will reveal how power has influenced the making and remaking of these historical accounts over time and explore through a series of walking tours she’s developed how those hidden stories are embedded in everyday spaces and how past struggles over race\, class\, and gender continue to influence U-M’s campus.\n\nDr. Tonya Kneff-Chang is an interdisciplinary historian whose work explores how race and racism have shaped our educational and medical institutions. At the U-M Medical School\, she co-developed and co-teaches the History of Race and Racism in Medicine course for students\, faculty\, and staff\, helping future healthcare providers understand the historical roots of contemporary health disparities. Dr. Kneff-Chang holds a BA in Peace & Conflict Studies from the University of California\, Berkeley\; an MA in Educational Leadership & Policy from the University of Michigan\; and a PhD in Educational Foundations from the University of Michigan.

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

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

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

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

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.

Inspired by the complex patterns of biological life\, the pieces are a celebration of growth\, transformation\, and the joy of experimentation. The use of non-precious materials\, such as wood balls and paint\, allowed for a liberating approach to composition and color\, while the spherical forms and circular panels evoke the look of petri dishes—symbolizing both scientific curiosity and organic development.\nBorn in Detroit\, Elizabeth is a multidisciplinary artist and mother based in the metro Detroit area\, where she works from a studio in her home. With a background in bench jewelry\, her earlier work focused on studio jewelry and was represented by Galerie Noel Guyomarc’h in Montreal.\nElizabeth’s work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. She holds a BA in Jewelry Design\, with First Class Honours\, from Central Saint Martins in London\, a BFA from the University of Michigan\, and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art\, where she specialized in Metalsmithing and Architecture. Her diverse practice spans jewelry\, sculpture\, and installation\, blending materials and techniques to explore themes of production\, growth\, transformation\, and organic form.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

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

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.

We first provide definitive evidence that tariff-exposed firms shifted production to locations that did not face tariffs\, and that domestic prices increased relative to other markets. We then develop a structural model to analyze welfare and employment effects. We find that the tariffs led to modest gains for manufacturers with domestic operations\, but larger losses in domestic consumer surplus and environmental benefits. Furthermore\, the tariffs reduced domestic solar industry employment and wages on net. By contrast\, subsidizing solar panel manufacturing could increase domestic production\, employment\, and welfare.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621555@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250325T141849 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T123000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Southeast Asian Noodle Day DESCRIPTION:Join us for Southeast Asian Noodle Day!

Although scholars have often dubbed this phenomenon \"the revolution in logistics\,\" in this paper I argue that the so-called 'logistics revolution' is better understood as a counter-revolution.\n\nAs anti-colonial leaders and trade unions in Southeast Asia pursued economic sovereignty during the “Third World’s” transition to independence\, they nationalized industry\, seized colonial property\, and sought to build national shipping and industrial capacity. To contain this threat to private enterprise\, US and UK shipping corporations\, backed by their states\, pursued the globalization of supply chain infrastructures.\n\nFocusing on a swathe of nationalizations of Dutch and British merchant\, shipping\, and plantation corporations in Indonesia from 1960-66\, this talk examines how shipping containerization only became viable when it aided imperial containment strategy. As I argue\, bringing the history of logistics into conversation with decolonizing workers' and nationalist struggles in Southeast Asia transforms our understanding of the logistics counter-revolution\, positioning it as a reactionary political project that consolidated colonial power into new economic forms.\n\nTracing the historical conjecture of the rise of logistics with the end of formal empire\, I ask: What did the rise of logistics look like from the vantage of the decolonizing of the global south?

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

In batched adaptive settings where the decision at one stage can affect the observation of variables in later stages\, our asymptotic representation characterizes all limit distributions attainable through a joint choice of an adaptive design rule and statistics applied to the adaptively generated data. This facilitates local power analysis of tests\, comparison of adaptive treatments rules\, and other analyses of batchwise sequential statistical decision rules.

A Biography of Decolonization in Cold War Southeast Asia DESCRIPTION:This paper revisits mid-20th century Asia\, Southeast Asia especially when the promise of decolonization met the perils of the Cold War. Theoretically\, it argues for an eventful geography of decolonization based on the actions\, perspectives\, and biographies of historical actors. Empirically\, it discusses the life and work of Oey Hong Lee (1924-1992)\, a visionary intellectual\, activist\, and journalist from Indonesia. His Indonesian-language book “Asia Won in Dien Bien Phu” (1961) narrates the diplomatic and military struggles between France and Vietnam that ended the First Indochina War (1946-54). In dialog with anti-colonial theorists Aime Cesaire\, Frantz Fanon\, and others\, Oey advanced a regional understanding that balanced contextual nuance with geopolitical imperative. In contrast to his better-known contemporaries\, Oey focused on the regional tensions between decolonization and geopolitical struggle\, analyzing less the universalizing binary between colonizer and colonized and more the specific histories of place\, in this case\, Vietnam and Indonesia. In so doing\, he rejected the regional construct of Southeast Asia as a creature of American-led Cold War machinations in favor of an emancipatory idea of Asia positioned at the vanguard of decolonizing world order. All the while\, Oey navigated a political landscape in Indonesia that\, between 1955-65\, was roiling with Cold War intrigue\, nativist Islam\, and anti-Chinese sentiment that ultimately forced him into exile.\n\n If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact cseas@umich.edu.

Unlike the conventional supervised learning method that treats the model as a black box\, our approach leverages additional model sensitivity information\, extracted via solving forward or adjoint sensitivity equations. This sensitivity information is integrated into the surrogate’s architecture and training process based on rigorous error analysis. We refer to such a surrogate construction as DINO (derivative-informed neural operator).\nDINO offers two key advantages over conventional surrogate construction. First\, it significantly improves the cost-accuracy trade-off for a wide range of models\, often by one to two orders of magnitude. Second\, it directly controls the surrogate Jacobian (Fréchet derivative) errors\, thus enhancing performance in surrogate-driven outer-loop problems that use gradient- and Hessian-based optimization algorithms. We demonstrate DINO’s capability to accelerate infinite-dimensional Bayesian inversion. First\, we show that geometric MCMC driven by DINO achieves a 2–9x speed up in asymptotically exact posterior sampling. Second\, we introduce LazyDINO\, a DINO-driven measure transport method for amortized Bayesian inversion\, which is one to two orders of magnitude more cost-efficient than competing methods.\nThis talk is based on joint work with Michael Brennan\, Joshua Chen\, Omar Ghattas\, Youssef Marzouk\, and Thomas O’Leary-Roseberry.\n\nShort bio: Dr. Lianghao Cao is a Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate from Department of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at California Institute of Technology. He obtained a B.S. in Engineering Mechanics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, and a Ph.D. in Computational Science\, Engineering\, and Mathematics from The University of Texas at Austin. His research blends mechanistic modeling\, uncertainty quantification\, and scientific machine learning to understand\, enhance\, and control the quality\, validity\, and reliability of simulation-based predictions of complex physical systems.

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.

Maier DESCRIPTION:It has been known since 1967 that exposure to stressors over which the organism has no behavioral control produce a constellation of behavioral and neurochemical sequelae that do not occur if an element of behavioral control over the stressor is possible. “Learned Helplessness” points of view developed by me and Seligman explained this difference by arguing that when confronted with an uncontrollable stressor the organism learns that it is uncontrollable\, and that this learning sets off a cascade of events that produce the behavioral and neurochemical outcomes. Here\, controllable aversive events fail to produce the outcomes because they lack the critical element of uncontrollability\, not because they lead to an active process. Recent neurocircuitry work will be described which indicates that this original view had it exactly backwards. Instead\, a) specific circuits (prelimbic cortex to dorsomedial striatum and mediodorsal thalamus to prelimbic cortex) detect/process the presence of control\, and b) when control is detected separate projections from the prelimbic cortex actively inhibit stress-responsive limbic and brainstem structures that are activated by both uncontrollable and controllable aversive events and that are the proximate mediators of the behavioral changes. In addition\, there are strong sex differences in these processes which will be described. Finally\, implications of this neurocircuitry work\, especially for controllable stressor-induced changes in behavior outside the realm of aversively motivated behavior\, such as generalized persistence/perseverance\, will be discussed.\n\nAbout the speaker: Steven Maier has been University of Colorado Distinguished Professor and the Director of the Center for Neuroscience\, and is currently Research Professor. He has received numerous awards including the Grawemeyer Award\, the Norman Cousins and Neal Miller Distinguished Lectureships\, The D. O. Hebb Distinguished Research Award and the Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions from the APA\, and is a Fellow of the APA\, APS\, and AAAS. He has held both career and MERIT awards from the NIH\, has been continuously funded by the NIH for 35 years\, has served on numerous NIH study sections\, and has edited and been on the editorial boards of numerous journals. He has authored or co-authored over 500 scientific papers in refereed journals\, and numerous book chapters. His h-index is 159\, his i10 index is 484\, and his citations are in excess of 90\,000. He has been rated as among the 200 most influential psychologists since World War II by Diener\, et al. (2014).\n\nDr. Maier’s research falls into two broad areas. One centers on an exploration of the variables that modulate the impact of stressors on brain chemistry\, and the neurochemical mechanisms by which stressors alter behavior and mood. Recent work focuses on the role of the medial prefrontal cortex in producing resilience. The other centers on interactions between the brain and the immune system\, with study of both how the brain regulates immune processes and how products of immune cells signal the brain. Current emphasis is on understanding mechanisms of immune-to-brain signaling at pathway\, cellular and molecular levels\, and the implications of these pathways for understanding stress\, mood disturbances\, and cognitive impairment\, and long-Covid.

The forms of visibility\, invisibility (and everything in between) that numbers produce can reinforce or redress inequalities\, shape political processes\, and help to forge or threaten group identities. Drawing on examples from different institutional spheres—educational rankings\, LGBTQ politics in the U.S.\, and political polling in recent U.S. presidential races\, I discuss how the forms of legibility and obscurity\, and the type of comparisons that numbers generate\, can deeply influence where organizations invest\, how they understand each other\, and how groups decide\, predict and protest. I call for greater\, more systematic scholarly attention to the dimensions and relations of quantitative visibility as an important theoretical concept\, and to the conditions the shape its effects\, for those who study quantification and organizations.

For a separate identification\, we consider two reputation-building environments with a two-dimensional belief domain\, where lying without deception occurs in one environment and deception without lying occurs in the other environment as a unique equilibrium phenomenon. The choice data collected in the lab enable us to differentiate between individuals' aversion to making statements that are literally untrue (lying aversion) and their aversion to statements intended to manipulate others' beliefs (deception aversion)\, controlling for inference errors.

This talk will focus on the fibers of these maps. We prove that the stratification on these fibers induced by the natural stratification of $\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}^d$ is a cell decomposition\, doing so by providing a parametrization for each stratum. We also show that the face poset for this cell decomposition is the face poset of a regular CW complex\, namely the interior dual block complex of a subword complex. We prove that these interior dual block complexes of subword complexes are contractible. I will describe several of the ingredients that go into this work\, providing background and examples along the way. This is joint work with Jim Davis and Ezra Miller.

Most think that this fact about belief's aim limits the agency we exercise as believers\, especially since Williams's famous argument that you cannot believe 'at will.' But the structure of intentional action in particular seems to offer hope for a substantive explanation of this fact about belief's aim: when you act intentionally you apply a standard of success to what you do\, and you guide it according to that standard. This talk reconciles these claims about belief with one another. It's true that you can't come to believe that p intentionally 'just like that\,' as Williams pointed out. But it's also true that you can perform all sorts of epistemic accomplishments intentionally: you can figure out whether p\, or determine which thing is F\, come to know why p\, etc. I show how you can perform these epistemic accomplishments intentionally with a model of non-basic action I set forth in detail in my new book Mental Means. The possibility of intentionally performing these epistemic accomplishments can help ground epistemic responsibility\, and thereby also help ground the application of substantive epistemic norms to our thoughts.\" UID:130080-21865281@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130080 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:philosophy,Rackham LOCATION:Mason Hall - 3206 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T063234 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:*RSVP required to attend.

He is one of many Black Caribbeans who have been disproportionately diagnosed with psychotic disorders since the 1950s. Tigo believes this is due to the clash between Black Caribbean cultural values and British assimilation practices\, which reinforce anti-Black stereotypes and involve the surveillance and hyper-policing of Black Caribbean communities. According to Tigo\, it is as if Black Caribbean living conditions in London\, shaped by poverty\, police brutality\, and cultural assimilation\, are schizophrenogenic. At the same time\, economic precarity in the Caribbean drives many to migrate. Consequently\, Black Caribbean migrants are more likely to become psychotic. Tigo’s journey illustrates how psychotic Black Caribbeans feel exiled and are faced with the specter of death\, which Frantz Fanon asserts is a structuring fact of Black existence. However\, Tigo emphasizes three pivotal moments of heightened insight that inspired him to develop innovative ideas\, which made his Black existence more “livable.” I refer to these moments as “the fertile moments” of Tigo’s psychosis. \n\nJaleel Mashaul Plummer is a PhD Candidate in the Joint PhD Program in Medical Anthropology at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco. He conducts ethnographic research with Black Jamaicans in England and Jamaica. His research centers around questions of madness\, Blackness\, Jamaican aesthetics\, and Black Jamaican spiritual traditions that concern “postcolonial occupation”. Titled “The Noose of Existence: Blackness and Madness in England and Jamaica”\, his dissertation combines comparative ethnography and critical theory to investigate how Black Jamaican experiences with madness and anti-blackness are marked by social alienation and result in self-fragmentation. The dissertation conveys how this alienation and self-fragmentation are many effects of a persistent British colonial occupation of Jamaican social and psychic life in England and Jamaica. However\, these two phenomena that deeply affect Black Jamaicans with psychosis are present in the artistic work of Brother Everald Brown\, Errol McKenzie\, and other artists known as the “Intuitives”. Through their aesthetic creations\, the Intuitives propagate the political and religious saliences of maddening landscapes wrought with anti-black violence that become breeding grounds of alienation and self-fragmentation. Therefore\, the dissertation demonstrates how Black madness and Intuitive aesthetic creations serve as “mediums” through which we can understand how the lived experience of Black Jamaicans is a struggle with and from the (after)shocks of British colonialism.

He will talk about two novels: *Fruta podrida* (2006) by the Chilean writer Lina Meruane and *Distancia de rescate* (2014) by the Argentine writer Samanta Schweblin. Nicolas will show that just as agribusiness has obscured the borders between humans and nonhumans through the creation of genetically modified seeds (GMOs)\, these works blur the limits between prose\, poetry\, and theater to depict the invisible and omnipresent violence of pesticide contamination.

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

In this talk\, I will explore the intersections of marine ecology\, conservation policy\, and community engagement.\n\nThrough the lens of marine ecology\, we will examine my research on (1) the underlying mechanisms driving complex\, multi-scale responses in benthic communities along the rocky shores of Oregon and New Zealand\, and (2) the decadal review of California’s MPA network\, using long-term monitoring data to uncover biological patterns in kelp forests and inform strategies for improved monitoring and adaptive management. Building on these scientific foundations\, we will discuss how ecological research informs conservation policy and\, in turn\, necessitates active engagement—particularly from fishing and tribal communities.\n\nWe will also explore the deeper parallels between conflicts in science-public discourse and my work with marginalized communities. As a co-founder of a STEM nonprofit dedicated to fostering an inclusive world where both deaf and hearing individuals are empowered through accessible STEM education and communication\, I have seen that many conflicts arise from a lack of human connection and the misconception that diversity is simply beneficial rather than essential for survival.\n\nJust as marine ecosystems thrive through diversity\, mutualism\, and adaptation\, so too must our approaches to conservation and science communication. By integrating research\, policy\, and inclusive engagement\, we can build resilient networks—both ecological and human—that can withstand environmental change and drive lasting transformation.

At a time when powerful political actors seek to limit national belonging to a particular segment of Hindu Indians\, such spaces and the people who intersect through them are not simply places of resistance but places where possible futures are grounded in the ethics of the past. Exploring the histories\, objects\, and rituals that intersect through an intentionally multireligious place illuminates the spectacular and mundane ways in which minoritized communities make space for themselves in an India where majoritarian religious nationalism is ascendant but hitherto incomplete.\n\nAnna Bigelow is an Associate Professor of Islamic Studies and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Religious Studies\, as well as Faculty Director of the Center for South Asia\, at Stanford University. Bigelow's current book project is a comparative study of shared sacred sites in India and Turkey\, exploring how everyday devotional life in shared spaces illuminates the shifting terrain of these ambivalently secular states. Another project traces the lives of devotional objects circulated by Muslims\, Hindus\, and others around a Sufi tomb shrine in India. She is the editor and contributor to a volume on material objects in Islamic cultures\, *Islam through Objects* (Bloomsbury\, 2021). Bigelow's earlier work *Sharing the Sacred: Practicing Pluralism in Muslim North India *(Oxford University Press\, 2010) is a study of a Muslim majority community in Indian Punjab and the shared sacred and civic spaces in that community.\n \n*Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.* UID:130329-21865761@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130329 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia,India,Islam LOCATION:Weiser Hall - Room 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250323T143659 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250328T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry seminar: The boundary of a totally geodesic subvariety of moduli space DESCRIPTION:The moduli space of genus g Riemann surfaces equipped with the Teichmuller metric exhibits rich geometric\, analytic\, and dynamical properties. A major challenge is to understand the totally geodesic submanifolds -- these share many properties with the moduli space itself. For many decades\, research focused on the one (complex) dimensional case\, i.e. the captivating Teichmuller cuves\, but the discovery of interesting higher-dimensional examples in recent years has led to new questions. In this talk\, I will discuss joint work with Benirschke and Rached in which we study the boundary of a totally geodesic subvariety in the Deligne-Mumford compactification\, showing that the boundary is itself totally geodesic.

This question has a positive answer when varieties are smooth or simple normal crossing\, and a negative answer in more general cases. The emphasis will be on the structure of the Grothendieck ring of varieties and on the groups of birational self-maps of algebraic varieties. This will be an overview of the work of many people in the last 25 years since Gromov's original formulation\, including Larsen-Lunts\, Borisov\, Zakharevich\, Hassett-Lai\, Kontsevich-Tschinkel\, and most recently\, work by Lin and myself.

Although scholars have often dubbed this phenomenon \"the revolution in logistics\,\" in this paper I argue that the so-called 'logistics revolution' is better understood as a counter-revolution.\n\nAs anti-colonial leaders and trade unions in Southeast Asia pursued economic sovereignty during the “Third World’s” transition to independence\, they nationalized industry\, seized colonial property\, and sought to build national shipping and industrial capacity. To contain this threat to private enterprise\, US and UK shipping corporations\, backed by their states\, pursued the globalization of supply chain infrastructures.\n\nFocusing on a swathe of nationalizations of Dutch and British merchant\, shipping\, and plantation corporations in Indonesia from 1960-66\, this talk examines how shipping containerization only became viable when it aided imperial containment strategy. As I argue\, bringing the history of logistics into conversation with decolonizing workers' and nationalist struggles in Southeast Asia transforms our understanding of the logistics counter-revolution\, positioning it as a reactionary political project that consolidated colonial power into new economic forms.\n\nTracing the historical conjecture of the rise of logistics with the end of formal empire\, I ask: What did the rise of logistics look like from the vantage of the decolonizing of the global south?

It seemed inevitable. Libby Glover\, Michael Hough and David Tamulevich had been informally jamming with each other for 3 months in the Rathskellar of the Old Heidelberg Restaurant in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. The room had grown consistently packed with enthusiastic fans every weekend. They all agreed it was time the trio made it official and chose the name Mustard’s Retreat\, which was a tune David had written. \nMustard’s Retreat has always sung the songs they enjoyed and cared about\, regardless of the trends of the music industry and pop culture. They are committed to simply being themselves\, not chasing fame or brass rings\, while delighting in and connecting with their audiences as if they were family. The honesty of what they present onstage and the extensive body of outstanding original songs and recordings all contribute to a fiercely loyal audience that continues to grow. “Music to cure what ails you” was how one reviewer in the 1970s described them\, and that is as true now as it was then. They’ve traveled more than a million miles and performed more than 6\,000 shows\, from pig roasts and pool parties to Lincoln Center Out of Doors\, The Barns at Wolftrap and the Kennedy’s Center’s Millennium Stage.\n\nTheir performances are always joyful and uplifting\, as well as intelligent\, thought provoking and insightful. They’ve recently begun referring to their career and touring as “Defiantly Hopeful.” In part due to their long career\, but more as a statement about what the music has meant to them. “Folk music is\, at its heart\, defiantly hopeful!” Tamulevich says. “We came of age in the 60s\, at the confluence of Pete Seeger\, Peter\, Paul & Mary\, Bob Dylan and the singer/songwriter revolution. We care much more about what we do and stand for and finding that common ground with our audiences\, than fame or money: this is our community of choice\, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be here.” UID:130093-21865308@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130093 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:1027 E.

So begins Triptych\, an adaptation of three pieces created with Nederlands Dans Theater. In this labyrinth of missing doors\, lost rooms\, and hidden floors — what De Morgen called “scenes you’d rather expect from the brain of David Lynch” — time\, memory\, and premonition revolve around the illusions\, utopias\, and lost loves of characters who act out their own fiction\, continually drifting away and searching for one another.\n\nCONTENT WARNING\nContains adult content and nudity\n\nFor 25 years\, the Belgian dance-theater company Peeping Tom’s hallmark has been a hyperrealist aesthetic anchored to a concrete and familiar set. The space feels familiar\, but quickly the directors create an unstable universe that defies the logic of time and space. You become the witness\, or perhaps the voyeur\, of what usually remains hidden and unsaid\, taken into subconscious worlds to discover nightmares\, fears\, and desires.

Visions of the deceased former butler and governess seem to be influencing the children towards evil. The new governess soon finds herself in an unearthly struggle for the children’s souls. But are the ghosts real\, or are they only in the governess’s mind? Britten’s evocative score builds to a tremendous climax\, leaving the listener wondering if the spirits of the past are still ominously present.\n\nWith the Contemporary Directions Ensemble\n\nFeaturing an accompanying carillon performance by Eric Whitmer\, Sarah Penrose\, Destiny Alleman\, Zhenqi Wang at each performance.\n\nPre-Performance Event!

The trio—Bekah\, Joshua\, and Caleb Liechty—notably made history as the only group to ever win NBC’s The Voice. Along the way\, they’ve impressively generated over 25 million streams across chart-rattling covers such as “River\,” “The Chain\,” and “Dust in the Wind.” The proud Midwesterners gained further traction with the independent release of Another World EP. In 2022\, they served up their debut holiday EP\, One More Christmas\, which reached #1 on the iTunes Charts\, and embarked on a massive arena tour supporting Pentatonix for “A Christmas Spectacular.” \n\nSince 2022 the group has been living life on the road performing over 200 shows to date. The sibling trio has captivated millions on television\, appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show\, singing for the Indy500\, and returning for a heart wrenching performance on The Voice Finale a year after their win. Their inimitable harmony will only continue to resound louder with their most recent release “Locked In Your Love” UID:134302-21874147@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134302 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250509T115542 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250613T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Kathleen Edwards DESCRIPTION:For decades\, Kathleen Edwards has been a cornerstone of North American roots music.\n \nSince making her debut with 2002’s Failer\, she’s spent the 21st century occupying the grey area between genres\, swirling together her own mix of alt-country\, folk\, and heartland rock & roll. It’s a sound that has earned its creator more than a half-dozen Juno nominations\, as well as Top 40 success on both sides of the Canadian/American border. Now in her third decade as an artist\, Kathleen Edwards has done more than carry the torch of songwriting heroes like Tom Petty\, Neil Young\, and Lucinda Williams — she’s opened the door for others\, too\, inspiring a new generation of artists who\, like her\, blur the boundaries between genre and generation. \n\nA native of Ottawa\, Ontario\, Edwards was still in her early 20s when she released the critically-acclaimed Failer. The album’s warm\, woozy sound — crystallized on radio hits like “Six O’Clock News” — quickly turned her into one of the era’s alt-country heroes. From the very start\, though\, Edwards’ music seemed to exist somewhere out of time\, resisting categorization even as Failer received a Juno nomination for “Roots & Traditional Album of the Year.” \n\n“No one knew what to call my type of music back then\,” she says of those early years. “The Americana genre didn’t exist yet\, so they couldn’t categorize me. I just made the kind of music I wanted to make.” \n\nEdwards continued blazing her own trail with follow-up albums like Back to Me and Asking for Flowers. By the time Voyageur arrived in 2012\, Americana very much did exist as a genre\, and Edwards found herself riding a newfound commercial peak. The album reached Number 2 on the Canadian Albums Chart and Number 3 on Billboard’s Folk Albums chart. Even so\, a busy decade on the road had left her exhausted. After touring in support of Voyageur’s release\, Edwards left the music business altogether and moved to suburban Ontario\, where she opened a coffee shop called — defiantly — “Quitters.” \n\nWhen a phone call arrived from Maren Morris\, who was looking for songwriting partners for a new project\, Edwards jumped at the chance to collaborate. The two musicians co-wrote “Good Woman\,” which appeared on Morris’ Grammy-nominated album Girl in 2019. Back home in Canada\, Edwards continued to write new material\, eventually partnering with producer Ian Fitchuk for the album Total Freedom. Released in 2020\, the album expanded her sound and her audience\; Total Freedom didn’t just mark her return to the music industry. It was a rebirth\, too.\n\nWhat’s next? New music\, of course. She and Grammy-winner Jim Scott co-produced and released an album called Covers\, which pays homage to some of her songwriting heroes - Tom Petty\, REM\, John Prine\, Bruce Springsteen\, et al. Edwards remains a fan of “ripping guitar riffs and good songs\,” and she’s combining both into a follow-up album co-produced by Grammy-winners Jason Isbell and Gena Johnson that will showcase her legacy as well as her evolution. \n\nShe maintains a presence on the road\, too\, playing her own gigs one minute and sharing shows with her heroes — including Willie Nelson\, John Fogerty\, and Bob Dylan — the next.\n\n“The amount of things I’ve gone through might make someone else quit…but quitting doesn’t quite do it for me\,” she says. “I can’t help but want to write great songs\, connect with people\, and see what’s ahead. I don’t love looking behind\, even though it’s one of the ways we can see what we’ve done\, so I’m looking forward.” UID:134301-21874146@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250528T104932 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250621T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Darlingside DESCRIPTION:With opener Clovers Daughter!\n\nElegant compositions\, lush harmonies\, and poetic lyrics\n\nEverything Is Alive\, Darlingside’s fourth LP\, marks a subtle but remarkable departure for the Boston-based quartet NPR once described as “exquisitely arranged\, literary minded\, baroque folk-pop.” While the album retains much of the lushness and sophistication of Extralife (2018) and Fish Pond Fish (2020)\, the band’s latest work decisively exposes and differentiates the individual voices of the four songwriters—a daring reinvention for a group known for ubiquitous vocal harmonies. Grappling with change both personal and universal\, with quandaries domestic and existential\, Everything Is Alive is an album about loss and the struggle for a semblance of redemption. \n\nComprised of Don Mitchell\, Auyon Mukharji\, Harris Paseltiner and David Senft\, four likeminded multi-instrumentalists who first met at Williams College in 2009\, Darlingside’s career has been defined by the elegance of their compositions and the unity of their four voices. Their talent for harmony and melodic world-building is part of what garnered praise from outlets like NPR\, Rolling Stone and The New Yorker\, and what has created demand worldwide for their extraordinary live performances. \n\nIt’s a rare thing and becoming rarer by the day: a group of musicians with that emulsifying magic to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. And to see Darlingside perform live is to confirm this special chemistry. With the release of Everything Is Alive the band will\, for the first time\, take to the road without Dave Senft. Instead of filling his spot directly\, the band has wisely chosen to honor the special chemistry of the foursome by letting those arrangements live on the recordings without obligation to faithfully recreate them onstage. While Dave remains a contributing member of the band\, on tour Darlingside will perform in a completely different configuration altogether—a configuration that will\, at times\, include the album’s drummer Ben Burns\, singer Molly Parden\, and others—proving again how the group can adroitly rearrange themselves for the breaking of a new and different day.

Gilmore answers: “But I know when it does you’re going to be my friend.”\n\nSix years later\, they’re serving notice that the old highway hasn’t ended yet. “We’re still standing\, no matter what you might hear\,” they sing on “We’re Still Here\,” the final track to their latest album TexiCali\, which continues to bridge the distance between the two troubadours’ respective home bases of California (Alvin) and Texas (Gilmore).\n\nThe geographic theme reflects Alvin’s repeated journeys to record in Central Texas with Gilmore and the Austin-based backing band that has toured with the duo for the past few years. As Alvin puts it in the liner notes\, those road trips informed the music they made on TexiCali:\n\nFrom one part of the borderland to another\, through concrete swaths of traffic\, tract homes and shopping malls\, across vast rocky deserts of Joshua trees\, saguaros and ocotillo\, speeding by forgotten battlefields\, remote mining towns\, corrido barrooms\, cinder block churches and abandoned houses filled with abandoned dreams\, past Mission San Xavier del Bac\, Cochise’s Stronghold and Apache Pass\, into the shimmering lights of El Paso/Juarez before the seemingly eternal emptiness of West Texas\, traveling those 1\,400 miles somewhere between Nothingness and Everything.

As one reviewer recently wrote: “PPL’s sound combines sweet memories with edgy\, contemporary muscle. Their vocals are as strong as Kentucky moonshine and the musicianship and performance skills are as sharp as a straight razor”. \n\nTheir eponymous first album - featuring the Norman Rockwell/Saturday Evening Post cover that introduced fans to PPL’s trademark cowpoke “Sad Luke” - has been hailed as a “major early influence in the emerging popularity of Country-Rock music”. Their second effort\, the multi-platinum “Bustin’ Out” brought us the Craig Fuller-penned classic “Amie”\, along with other gems of the genre. With “Two Lane Highway”\, nine more albums and countless shows\, a legacy has been forged and enriched\, highlighting contributions from several noteworthy members\, including original co-founder George Ed Powell\, Cincinnati’s legendary Goshorn Brothers\, Country Hall of Famers Gary Burr and Vince Gill\, award-winning writer Jeff Wilson (3 Top-20 singles)\, top Nashville session vocalist Curtis Wright and a host of other guest appearances from Chet Atkins\, Johnny Gimble\, EmmyLou Harris\, David Sanborn\, Eagle Don Felder\, Nicolette Larson\, Rosemary Butler\, Jenifer Wrinkle\, Jeff (Birdman) Kirk\, Mat Britain and many more.\n\nNow in their sixth decade\, Pure Prairie League continues to lead the way for the new generation of Country/Rockers such as Keith Urban\, Nickel Creek\, Wilco\, Counting Crows and so many others that cite PPL as a major influence. \n\nNow\, with the release of their new album “Back On Track” PPL brings it all back home with a dozen new songs that complete the circle begun in 1970 and continues to this day.
