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:107870-21818077@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:20250329T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250329T170000 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:84303-21621556@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:20250329T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250329T170000 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).

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\nFeaturing an accompanying carillon performance by Eric Whitmer\, Sarah Penrose\, Destiny Alleman\, Zhenqi Wang at each performance.\n\nPre-Performance Event!

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

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

Participants will have the opportunity to choose 1-hour scheduling slots where they and another participant will work closely on their prints with sara.\n\nFor this workshop\, participants will provide one high-resolution photograph before the workshop to the artist to prepare to make the cyanotype alternative photo print that they can take home. These prints can make great gifts and artwork to add some beautiful Prussian blue tones to your environment – keep this in mind when selecting an image! Alternatively\, participants can elect to utilize natural materials such as leaves to make compositions\, and botanical stencils will also be available as an alternative to providing a digital photograph upfront.\n\nAll provided images will be permanently deleted following the use of the image for workshop purposes only. If you have any questions or concerns about image selection or the workshop\, please contact sara faraj at smfaraj@umich.edu.\n\nsara faraj (M.A 24\, Urban and Regional Planning\, Taubman College) is one of three master’s degree-level residents chosen for the 2024 Creative Careers Residency at the Arts Initiative.

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:84303-21621557@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:20250330T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250330T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu or call our office at (734) 764-7771.

Here was a singer-songwriter with a striking baritone voice that made you feel like you'd been hearing it all your life. Hailing from New Jersey\, but forged in the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene\, he honed his craft and persona into an unmistakable image. The shy\, wry\, insightful\, and yes\, sensitive singer-songwriter has been copied and parodied. But the old coat he wove still fits\, and still suits him well. The old songs ring as true as they ever did\, and the new ones are just as good.

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.

Nicholas' lifelong battle with depression contributed towards him being on and off academic probation and mandatory leave several times from the University of Michigan. In 2015\, he gave college one last try and not only went onto earn his bachelor’s in chemical engineering\, but also a doctorate degree from Clemson University in 2023. \n Nicholas was born with sensorineural hearing loss and has navigated the lifelong challenge of hearing impairment. He hopes to use his experiences as a partially deaf person to inspire other hard of hearing people to pursue their goals. He wants to use this breakfast as a time to connect with students who may be facing similar challenges.

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

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

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

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.

Neotropical plant lineages have traced diverse evolutionary histories\, ranging from species and ecologically poor lineages to adaptive radiations. While morphologically and ecologically diverse clades have been extensively used to understand Neotropical plant diversification in space over time\, lineages expressing little morphological disparity have been generally understudied. My research will focus on Neotropical myrtles (Myrtaceae)\, which have been a source of challenge to many field biologists\, herbarium botanists and horticulturists for centuries for being both species-rich and morphologically homogeneous. I will employ phylogenetic comparative methods and experiments to investigate the adaptive value of structures in the seemingly ‘monotonous’ myrtle flower\, testing the hypothesis of predator-induced fusion of the calyx. Using a newly produced molecular phylogeny\, I will investigate trait divergence and biogeography in early stages of species diversification using a sister-species approach\, as well as mechanisms of co-existence where species show high levels of sympatry.\n\nThis is a hybrid event. \nJoin remotely: \nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/99622972222\nMeeting ID: 996 2297 2222\nPasscode: 490332 UID:134346-21874228@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134346 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biological science,Biology,department of ecology and evolutionary biology,ecology,Ecology & Biology,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,eeb LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1010 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250320T150531 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250331T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250331T153000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Psychology Diversity Week: Gender/Sex/ual Diversity in Bioscience and Beyond DESCRIPTION:How can we define\, measure\, and make sense of gender/sex and sexuality in ways that take lived experience and bioscience seriously? In this talk\, Dr. van Anders discusses methods\, theories\, and results from her interdisciplinary\, feminist and queer science research program\, focusing on gender/sex and sexual diversity\, as well as hormones and bioscience. Dr. van Anders highlights how these approaches can contribute to research in bioscience and beyond for understandings of gender/sex and sexual diversity that are dynamic and multifaceted\, as well as more accurate\, empirical\, and just.\n\nAbout the speaker: After a decade at the University of Michigan in Psychology and Women’s Studies\, Dr. Sari van Anders joined Queen’s University as the Canada 150 Research Chair in Social Neuroendocrinology\, Sexuality\, and Gender/Sex\, and Professor of Psychology\, Gender Studies\, and Neuroscience. Her work and lab has been recognized with over 80 awards\, including the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the Society for the Psychology of Sexual Orientation & Gender Diversity\, the APS Janet Taylor Spence Award for Transformative Early Career Contributions\, as well as election to the Royal Society of Canada. Dr. van Anders is committed to progressive transformation efforts for academic spaces and beyond.\n\n* Note that due to unforeseen circumstances\, Dr. van Anders will no longer be presenting in person. The lecture will be held as a Zoom watch party in 4448 East Hall\, followed by an in-person presentation of awards. The event will not be recorded.

The nearest supernova since 1604\, it arrived at the right time to trigger the newest generation of neutrino detectors underground\, a vast range of telescopes and cameras on Earth\, and a few pre-Hubble space telescopes. Neutrino physicists are eager for another observation and have instruments ready and waiting---but there's nothing but luck to say whether the next Milky Way supernova will be in our lifetimes or not. In this talk\, I will review some supernova neutrino physics and talk about a new result---the chance to get information about supernova neutrinos\, maybe in our lifetimes\, using an optical observable that reaches beyond the Milky Way.

His lifelong battle with depression contributed towards him being on and off academic probation and mandatory leave several times from the University of Michigan. In 2015\, he gave college one last try and not only went onto earn his bachelor’s in chemical engineering\, but also a doctorate degree from Clemson University in 2023. Nicholas hopes to use his story as a means for inspiring other struggling students. It’s never too late to consciously decide you want to make a change and go down a different path.\n \nNicholas was born with sensorineural hearing loss and has navigated the lifelong challenge of hearing impairment. He hopes to use his experiences as a partially deaf person to inspire other hard of hearing people to pursue advanced STEM degrees.\n \nAbout Nicholas:\nNicholas received his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan in 2016\, then went on to complete a doctorate degree from Clemson University in 2023. He joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a postdoctoral researcher in January 2024 in the Soft Materials and Membranes group. He is currently investigating advanced materials for energy-efficient carbon dioxide removal from power plant emissions and oceanic seawater. Outside of work\, he is an avid vinyl collector and enjoys attending concerts and music festivals with friends. He also enjoys cooking and spending time with his 17-pound cat\, Molson.

Years of individual difference and lifespan development research have framed optimism—the tendency to expect positive things in the future—as an asset that protects against physical and cognitive decline. There is also an assumption that optimism is a purely individual resource\, originating from people alone\, irrespective of their environments. In this talk\, Chopik will revisit these approaches and provide some evidence that people are optimistic even when they shouldn’t be\, how the optimism of other people affects us\, and how where you live might alter how you think about the future. The goal of this session is to give you a crash course on optimism and where it comes from—topics that expand our understanding of health and resilience and should be of interest to everyone\, even if you’re a pessimist at heart.\n\nDr. Chopik is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Michigan State University. He studies how close relationships—and the people in them—change over time and across situations. Dr. Chopik’s work examines phenomena as broad as how relationships and social institutions shape development and as focused as the mechanisms that underlie the link between close relationships and health. In 2017\, Dr. Chopik was recognized as one of Forbes Magazine’s Top 30 Scientists Under 30 and has since been recognized as a Rising Star by the Association for Psychological Science.\n\nDavid Dunning\, organizer of the Katz-Newcomb speaker series in Psychology and an associate of the Research Center for Group Dynamics\, hosts. RCGD's winter 2025 seminar series covers 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\, Room 1430.\n\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to the RCGD YouTube playlist.

Mission Driven Bureaucrats offers a roadmap for how governments can break from the status quo and cultivate a workforce of dedicated\, empowered public servants. When bureaucrats are empowered to act on their mission-driven impulses\, the results can be extraordinary. Managing more for empowerment - allowing autonomy\, cultivating competence\, and creating connection to peers and purpose - is often the path to better public performance and citizens’ welfare.\n\nAuthor Dan Honig will be in conversation with the Ford School's Don Moynihan.

His research and teaching concentrate on U.S.-China relations\, U.S. empire\, immigration\, and the Asian American experience. His book manuscript—entitled Imperial Stewards: Chinese Art and the Cultural Origins of America's Pacific Century—examines Chinese art collecting in the U.S. in the early 20th century as a contested process of knowledge production that bolstered ideas of American exceptionalism\, even while it relied on transpacific circuits of labor and expertise.\n\nJeff Yang has been observing\, exploring\, and writing about the Asian American community for over thirty years. He launched one of the first Asian American national magazines\, A. Magazine\, in the late nineties and early 2000s\, and now writes frequently for CNN\, New York Times\, and elsewhere.

It gives an algorithm for collapsing certain simplices without changing the homotopy type\, thus simplifying the cell structure of the simplicial complex. This talk aims to give an overview of this technique\, covering several examples along the way.

We introduce a family of random curves in the plane which encode the random values of certain nonlinear functionals of fractional Brownian motions on a circle with Hurst index s - 1/2. For a special choice of Cameron-Martin shift\, the low variance limit of the fractional Brownian motion induces a LLN and CLT for the associated random curves that is nearly identical to the global behavior of Plancherel measures on large Young diagrams. The limit shape is independent of s and is that of Vershik-Kerov-Logan-Shepp. The global Gaussian fluctuations depend on s and coincide with the process in Kerov's CLT for s = -1/2. We give a dynamical explanation of this relationship using results of Eliashberg and Dubrovin. This is work in progress with Robert Chang (Rhodes College).

The final answer is quite clean\, but has some interesting exceptional cases. The local analysis has two main ingredients: first\, new building-like complexes on which p-adic orthogonal groups act\; second\, a very detailed analysis of how the stabilizer of each vertex permutes its neighbors. The strong approximation theorem isn't quite enough to pass to the global case: for some quadratic forms over Z we must also construct reflections in their orthogonal groups.

This workshop will help to develop the script for that production. \n\nThe cast for this public reading of the play is comprised of SMTD students and faculty. \n\n*The American Five* offers an incisive look into a single\, society-shifting moment in American history while turning our perspective toward a horizon of plurality. This play’s kaleidoscope structure examines the multi-generational relationship of Black and Jewish Americans. When a perspective-challenging professor invokes the “Rules of Engagement” inside the classroom\, tensions rise over a discussion about anti-Semitic headlines. A viable framework for understanding present political discord and social paradigms is found in Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

Miller DESCRIPTION:John R Miller is a true hyphenate artist: singer-songwriter-picker. Every song on his thrilling upcoming debut solo album\, Depreciated\, is lush with intricate wordplay and haunting imagery\, as well as being backed by a band that is on fire. One of his biggest long-time fans is roots music favorite Tyler Childers\, who says he’s “a well-travelled wordsmith mapping out the world he’s seen\, three chords at a time.” Miller is somehow able to transport us to a shadowy honkytonk and get existential all in the same line with his tightly written compositions. Miller’s own guitar-playing is on fine display here along with vocals that evoke the white-waters of the Potomac River rumbling below the high ridges of his native Shenandoah Valley.

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.

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:107870-21818079@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:20250401T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250401T170000 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:84303-21621558@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:20250203T122703 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250401T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250401T125000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Impact of Racial Segregation on College Attainment in Spatial Equilibrium DESCRIPTION:This paper seeks to understand the forces that maintain racial segregation and the Black-White gap in college attainment\, as well as their interactions with place-based policy interventions. We incorporate race into an overlapping-generations spatial-equilibrium model with parental investment and neighborhood spillovers. Race matters due to: (i) a Black-White wage gap\, (ii) amenity externalities—households care about their neighborhood’s racial composition—and (iii) additional barriers to moving for Black households. We find that these forces account for 71% of the racial segregation and 64% of the BlackWhite gap in college attainment for the St. Louis metro area. The presence of spillovers and externalities generates multiple equilibria. Although St. Louis is in a segregated equilibrium\, there also exists an integrated equilibrium with a lower college gap. We compare various place-based policy interventions to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing segregation and destabilizing the segregated equilibrium.

The Social Roots of Authoritarianism DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/qV3kX\n\nNatalia Forrat is a social scientist studying democracy\, authoritarianism\, state power\, and civil society. She obtained her PhD from Northwestern University and held academic appointments at Stanford University\, the University of Notre Dame\, and the University of Michigan. Currently\, she is a lecturer at the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies at the University of Michigan.\n \n Why are some authoritarian regimes highly competitive and others highly unified? Do they function differently? And what does it mean for our understanding of democracy and democratization? The Social Roots of Authoritarianism unpacks the grassroots mechanisms maintaining unity-based and division-based authoritarianisms. It argues that they develop in societies with opposite visions: the state as team leader or the state as outsider. Depending on which vision of the state is dominant in society\, autocrats must use different tools to consolidate their regimes or risk pushback. The book demonstrates the grassroots mechanisms of authoritarian power comparing four Russian regions with opposite patterns of electoral performance—the Rostov region\, the Kemerovo region\, the Republic of Tatarstan\, and the Republic of Altai. In two of them\, public organizations formed centralized political machines and blended civic and political functions amplified by the teamwork logic. In the other two\, clientelistic political machines ruled by the utility maximization logic dominated. The theory of unity- and division-based authoritarianisms developed in the book implies that these types of authoritarian regimes miss the opposite elements of democracy\, and that democratization depends on cultivating these missing institutions over time.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Strong winds from these storms cause widespread damage to trees\, thus affecting their demography by increasing mortality risk and altering their growth dynamics and abundance changes in the aftermath. Functional trait ecology allows us to quantitatively measure the physiological mechanisms that underpin tree demographic variation and TC responses\, but these demographic dynamics and trait-demography connections vary in magnitude\, direction\, and strength across impacted forest systems.\n\nIn light of this variation\, my research will incorporate both functional trait and characteristics of present and past cyclone impacts to determine which predictors modulate demographic responses on a global scale\; and will investigate individual\, population\, and community-level functional trait patterns and how these inform growth rate dynamism in a TC-prone forest in Puerto Rico. With the frequency of intense TCs and their geographic range of impacts both forecasted to increase with climate change\, a mechanistic and comprehensive understanding of forest responses to these events is more important than ever before.

Such intimacies are not always pleasant\, and the first part of this presentation shows their emotional weight. The second part turns to how the rapid urbanization of the area over the past two decades has interrupted the responsibilities of care\, creating an affect of frustration. In a concluding example\, the frustration spiraled into madness for one woman\, whose alternate chanting and screaming marked how kinship ties of both blood and affect had been severed by the forces of urbanization.\n \n Robert P. Weller is Professor of Anthropology at Boston University. His most recent books are *How Things Count as the Same: Memory\, Mimesis\, and Metaphor* (with Adam Seligman)\, and *Religion and Charity: The Social Life of Goodness in Chinese Societies* (with C. Julia Huang and Keping Wu). He has over forty years of research experience in China and Taiwan on topics that run from ghosts to politics\, and from rebellions to landscape paintings. He is currently involved in two book projects: one on silence and haunting\, and the other on the effects of rapid urbanization on village religion in China.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you at\, please contact us at chinese.studies@umich.edu.

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

Yet evaluations of recent preschool programs produce puzzling findings\, including negative impacts\, and divergent\, weaker results than were shown in demonstration programs implemented in the 1960s and 70s. In this talk\, I will present our team’s review of more recent\, rigorous studies that supports more cautious conclusions regarding the long-term effectiveness of today’s preschool programs. I will then provide potential explanations for why modern evaluations of preschool programs have produced less positive and more mixed results\, focusing on changes in a broad range of counterfactual conditions and preschool instructional practices. I will also address popular explanations such as subsequent low-quality schooling experiences that\, we argue\, do not appear to account for weakening program effectiveness. The field must take seriously the smaller positive\, null\, and negative impacts from modern programs and strive to understand why effects vary and how to boost program effectiveness through rigorous\, longitudinal research.\n\nBiography:\nJade Marcus Jenkins is an Associate Professor at the University of California Irvine School of Education studying early childhood policy. Her work is multidisciplinary\, focusing on issues that are amenable to educational and social policy intervention\, using diverse research methods to evaluate programs and understand the mechanisms that promote child and family wellbeing. She received her B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Florida in Family\, Youth and Community Sciences\, and Ph.D. in Public Policy from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After the M.S. program\, Jade worked at a quasi-governmental nonprofit in Florida’s early childhood care and education system. This firsthand experience in policy implementation was her primary motivation to pursue a Ph.D. in public policy and specialize in early childhood development to learn how to evaluate and develop policies that provide support for families with young children and reduce poverty in the long-term.

Presenting images she collected while working as a “data cleaner” for various AI systems\, she will address the ways in which machines are disciplined and trained to see.

Ultimately\, this talk will be an invitation to reflect on modes of seeing otherwise which remain radically unruly\, irreducible\, and incomputable.\n\nElisa Giardina Papa is an artist and scholar\, Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University. Her research-based art practice seeks forms of knowledge and desire that have been lost or forgotten\, disqualified\, and rendered nonsensical by hegemonic demands for order and legibility. Working across Artificial intelligence-based projects\, large-scale video installations\, experimental films\, and writing\, she draws attention to those aspects of our lives that remain radically incomputable.\n\nHer work has been exhibited at the 59th Biennale di Venezia (The Milk of Dreams)\, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA’s Modern Mondays)\, the Whitney Museum (Sunrise/Sunset Commission)\, Martin-Gropius-Bau Berlin\, ICA and Frieze London\, BFI London Film Festival\, Vienna Secession\, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt\, Haus Der Kulturen Der Welt (HKW) Berlin\, 6th Buenos Aires Bienal de la Imagen en Movimiento\, Seoul Mediacity Biennale 2018\, the Center for Contemporary Art Tashkent\, Uzbekistan\, M+ Hong Kong\, among others. Her latest art book\, Leaking Subjects and Bounding Boxes: On Training AI (Sorry Press\, 2022)\, documents the methods currently used to teach Artificial intelligence to capture\, classify\, and order the world and presents a collection of images that exceed computation. Forthcoming essays include the foreword for Informatics of Domination (Duke University Press\, 2024).\n\nElisa Giardina Papa co-founded the artist collective Radha May. Alongside Indian artist Nupur Mathur and Ugandan artist Bathsheba Okwenje\, they collaborate on performances and art installations that uncover hidden histories and marginalized sites\, examining their intersections with gender\, sexuality\, and colonialism. She holds a Ph.D. in Film and Media from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and has previously held positions at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and the Rhode Island School of Design.\n\nWe want to make our events accessible to all participants.

Jobos Bay and Rookery Bay NERRs jointly recognized the need to understand and enhance the resilience of their mangrove ecosystems and the surrounding communities in southeastern Puerto Rico and southwest Florida\, respectively. Through a multi-disciplinary approach spanning four research themes – time-series mapping\, ecosystem assessment\, ecosystem services modeling\, and management options – the MCC investigated the loss and recovery of mangroves\, the relationships between drivers of hurricane impact and recovery\, the effects to ecosystem services\, and the ways that managers have made information-based decisions. Using co-production methods\, the project team developed and shared products at a recent regional Mangrove and Management Forum that brought together a newly coalescing community of mangrove scientists and managers in the southeastern US and Caribbean.\nIn this webinar\, the project team will describe how the mangrove science-to-management community developed as an integral part of the MCC and will share an overview of how the ongoing results of the MCC have responded to the needs of this growing community.

The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand framework has proven remarkably useful in the support of reactive complexes of copper\, silver and gold. Beginning with reactive coinage metal hydrides\, we have studied metal–element and metal–metal interactions with an eye toward catalysis. More recently\, we are exploring copper complexes that may react analogously to heterogeneous copper(0).

In our experiments\, we create arrays of single atoms held in optical tweezers and introduce entangling interactions by promoting their outer electrons to high lying\, Rydberg orbitals\, allowing for tunable electric dipole couplings. I will present our recent progress toward characterizing and harnessing entanglement growth in this system and its eventual application to atom interferometry with entangled matter.

This relationship is facilitated by certain invariants of singularities\, namely the log canonical threshold and the F-pure threshold. We will present an application of this idea to the study of Fano varieties by introducing a characteristic p analog of Tian's alpha-invariant. Tian introduced the alpha-invariant in 1987 to detect the existence of Kähler–Einstein metrics on Fano varieties.\nThis invariant has played a central role in the study of complex Fano varieties and their K-stability. We will discuss the many similarities\, and some surprising differences between the Frobenius-alpha invariant and its complex counterpart.

Psychological Mechanisms Underlying Cooperative Motives\, Behaviors and Emotions DESCRIPTION:People who successfully navigate life’s many challenges often do so through cooperative efforts. However\, successful cooperation also relies on people’s ability to discern when\, how\, and with whom to invest their limited time and resources. Despite the centrality of cooperation to human flourishing\, the ecological\, cultural\, and psychological mechanisms that facilitate cooperation require further investigation. Using a variety of methods — including surveys\, experiments\, longitudinal studies and field research — with diverse groups (e.g.\, American ranchers\, Nicaraguan horticulturalists\, nationally representative samples\, multinational participants)\, I will present findings addressing three central questions: (1) Why do people cooperate? (2) What are the psychological mechanisms underlying cooperation? and (3) What are the consequences of cooperation for relationships\, collective-risk management and well-being? Across several studies\, I'll show how positive interdependence guides people’s cooperative motives\, behaviors and other-oriented emotions (e.g.\, empathic concern). I will conclude by advancing and suggesting future directions based on a theoretical framework in which interdependence and cooperation act as mediating factors linking socio-ecological circumstances to social integration and well-being.

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.

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.

Media Studies Between Crisis and Critique DESCRIPTION:Media today are our situation\; they constitute the fabric of living. But a number of new crises–and subjects–have profoundly shaped the field of media studies\, including an environmental turn in media studies\, elemental media\, ubiquitous computing\, distributed sensing\, and pervasive algorithms and artificial intelligence. Accordingly\, this conference revists and updates Mark B.N. Hansen and WJT Mitchell’s landmark Critical Terms for Media Studies (2010) by accounting for how these new ways of thinking impact the subjective\, aesthetic\, political\, material and economic registers of life and living in the twenty-first century. \n\nIn particular\, the conference will explore the many disciplinary and post-disciplinary transformations in the study of media since its publication (including the moment of “post-critique”). To that end\, the conference will bring together an interdisciplinary set of emerging scholars external to the University of Michigan with UM graduate students and faculty to reconsider the project of media critique today.\n\nThe morning session (10:00 am-11:30 am\, Digital Studies Institute Lab Space) is reserved for a limited-capacity working session with the invited speakers for graduate students involved broadly in the critical study of media. RSVP here: https://myumi.ch/qZkRx\n\nThe afternoon (2:00 pm- 5:00 pm\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, Hatcher Gallery\, Room 100) will consist of four 45-minute “Keyword Panel” sessions\, with a talk by each guest speaker followed by a dialogue with U-M faculty. The panel discussion is open to graduate students\, the Digital Studies Institute\, University of Michigan faculty and students\, and the general public to reflect on post-disciplinary or trans-disciplinary turns within the study of media technology and culture as well as new limits and possibilities for media critique.

He holds a PhD in English Literature\, with a designated emphasis in Science and Technology Studies\, from University of California\, Davis. Ranjodh’s research\, which traces the aesthetic and political entanglements of our technological cultures\, lies at the intersections of science fiction studies\, critical media theory\, and histories of science and technology.\n\nThomas Patrick Pringle is an Assistant Professor of Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Southern California. He received his Ph.D. in Modern Culture and Media from Brown University. Pringle focuses on historical approaches to film and media\, with an emphasis on how media shape how environments are conceived in a given place and time and how technologies interact with physical environments.\n\n​​Anna Shechtman is an Assistant Professor of Literatures in English\, specializing in media studies and American literature. She is writing a two-volume history of the “media” and “data” concepts in the United States. The first examines the social formations and technologies of production that have allowed \"media\" to incorporate—and perhaps even supersede—the categories of \"art\,\" \"literature\,\" \"communication\,\" and \"culture\" in the second half of the 20th century.\n\nHannah Zeavin is a scholar\, writer\, and editor whose work centers on the history of human sciences (psychoanalysis\, psychology\, and psychiatry)\, the history of technology and media\, feminist science and technology studies\, and media theory. Zeavin is an Assistant Professor of History (Science / North America) in the Department of History and The Berkeley Center for New Media at UC Berkeley.\n\nWe want to make our events accessible to all participants.

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:107870-21818080@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:20250212T103457 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250402T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250402T133000 SUMMARY:Other:Dialogue Michigan DESCRIPTION:Dialogue Michigan is an opportunity for U-M faculty and staff who are engaged or interested in conversations across difference in a multiplicity of formats to network with one another.

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:84303-21621559@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:20250402T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250402T170000 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).

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.

When we have access to the individual-level data of the auxiliary variables in the population\, we propose a regularized predictive inference approach that predicts the outcomes in the population based on the large number of auxiliary variables using Bayesian additive regression trees (BARTs) and its extensions. Our simulation studies reveal that the regularized predictions using BARTs yield valid inferences for the population means with coverage rates close to the nominal levels. We extend the method to accommodate two-phase designs\, scenarios involving population data with confidentiality constraints\, and cases where only the population margins of the auxiliary variables are available. We demonstrate the application of the proposed methods using health surveys. \n \nDr. Qixuan Chen is Associate Professor of Biostatistics at Columbia University. She obtained her PhD in Biostatistics from the University of Michigan in 2009. Her research focuses on survey sampling\, missing data\, measurement error\, data integration\, and Bayesian modeling.

Thurnau Professor of Sociology and Afroamerican and African Studies\, and Public Policy\n\nModerator:\nDr. Kevin Cokley\, University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor\, Professor of Psychology\, Associate Chair for Diversity Initiatives\n\nThe assault on diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) is one of several threats to higher education. These threats are part of what former U-M president Lee Bollinger has characterized as “an authoritarian takeover of the U.S. government”. For years the University of Michigan has been a higher education leader in DEI initiatives\, operating one of the most comprehensive DEI operations in the country. This has made U-M a target\, resulting in a New York Times article critically evaluating DEI at U-M and concluding that students and faculty are more frustrated than ever. Instead of defending diversity as prior U-M leadership has done\, current leadership has engaged in “anticipatory compliance” by banning diversity statements and threatening to cut funding from a “DEI bureaucracy”. Diversity officers from across the country are closely watching what happens at U-M\, because successfully dismantling DEI at U-M would send shock waves throughout higher education and likely represent DEI’s last stand.\n \nIn this panel\, participants from different disciplinary backgrounds who are part of a DEI workgroup will discuss their efforts to defend DEI at U-M. They will discuss the strategies they have used and describe the successes as well as ongoing challenges of their efforts.

Media Studies Between Crisis and Critique DESCRIPTION:Media today are our situation\; they constitute the fabric of living. But a number of new crises–and subjects–have profoundly shaped the field of media studies\, including an environmental turn in media studies\, elemental media\, ubiquitous computing\, distributed sensing\, and pervasive algorithms and artificial intelligence. Accordingly\, this conference revists and updates Mark B.N. Hansen and WJT Mitchell’s landmark Critical Terms for Media Studies (2010) by accounting for how these new ways of thinking impact the subjective\, aesthetic\, political\, material and economic registers of life and living in the twenty-first century. \n\nIn particular\, the conference will explore the many disciplinary and post-disciplinary transformations in the study of media since its publication (including the moment of “post-critique”). To that end\, the conference will bring together an interdisciplinary set of emerging scholars external to the University of Michigan with UM graduate students and faculty to reconsider the project of media critique today.\n\nThe morning session (10:00 am-11:30 am\, Digital Studies Institute Lab Space) is reserved for a limited-capacity working session with the invited speakers for graduate students involved broadly in the critical study of media. RSVP here: https://myumi.ch/qZkRx\n\nThe afternoon (2:00 pm- 5:00 pm\, Hatcher Graduate Library\, Hatcher Gallery\, Room 100) will consist of four 45-minute “Keyword Panel” sessions\, with a talk by each guest speaker followed by a dialogue with U-M faculty. The panel discussion is open to graduate students\, the Digital Studies Institute\, University of Michigan faculty and students\, and the general public to reflect on post-disciplinary or trans-disciplinary turns within the study of media technology and culture as well as new limits and possibilities for media critique.

Using a survey of 20\,000 job movers in Denmark\, we elicit workers’ reservation wage to return to their previous job. Our sample contains a large\, connected network of firms\, enabling us to estimate firm-wide premia and match effects in amenities. Overall\, higher-paying firms provide slightly worse non-pay amenities. Although they provide better perks and flexibility\, they also come with higher layoff risk\, faster work pace\, and greater stress. On average\, moves to jobs offering 10% higher pay involve a 5% reduction in the value of amenities\, with 0.7% attributable to firm-wide tradeoffs and the remainder attributable to match effects. Using a standard search model\, we quantify the role of amenities in labor market inequality while accounting for endogenous mobility. While firms in the top wage decile pay 16% more than those in the bottom decile\, the difference in total utility remains substantial at 12% of wages\, reflecting that most amenity-wage tradeoffs are idiosyncratic.

It is possible to remove carbon from the atmosphere at large scale using various methods for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). Estimates of the cost\, risks\, and efficacy these tools will remain uncertain but it is now possible to make some policy-relevant quantitative comparisons between risks and benefits\, and to speculate about the appropriate use of energy-system decarbonization\, CDR\, and SRM.

One result\, along with Mark Schusterman\, is that the tame fundamental group is finitely presented for such a variety which is the complement of an SNC divisor in a smooth projective variety. A second\, along with Jakob Stix\, is to give an obstruction for a smooth projective variety to admit a lifting to characteristic 0\, in terms of the structure of its etale fundamental group as a profinite group. We will finally touch on some open questions.

In this talk\, I will present several recent methods developed to address these challenges across diverse studies\, assay types\, and organisms\, leveraging novel statistical and machine learning approaches. First\, I will introduce ALPINE\, an NMF-based framework that disentangles the influence of technical and non-relevant phenotypic factors in single-cell transcriptomic data\, enabling the integration of multiple studies. Integrating across data types\, I will discuss our method\, seismic\, which combines genome-wide association studies with single-cell RNA sequencing to prioritize disease-relevant cell types\, linking genetic variation to cellular function. Finally\, I will discuss ETNA\, a machine translation-inspired approach that embeds protein-protein interaction networks from different organisms into a shared space\, facilitating cross-species functional comparisons. Together\, these methods highlight how diverse data sources can be integrated across molecular\, cellular\, and organism levels to better model complex disease biology.

For dimension d\, this achieves a sphere packing of density (1 + o(1)) d log d / 2^(d+1). In general dimension this provides the first asymptotically growing improvement for sphere packing lower bounds since Rogers' bound of c*d/2^d in 1947. The proof amounts to a random (very dense) discretization together with a new theorem on constructing independent sets on graphs with not-too-large co-degree. Both steps will be discussed and no knowledge of sphere packings will be assumed or required. Central to the analysis is the study of a random process on a graph. This is based on joint work with Marcelo Campos\, Matthew Jenssen and Julian Sahasrabudhe.

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.

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

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818081@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:20250403T092034 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250403T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250403T113000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Building intercultural competence DESCRIPTION:Interacting effectively across cultural differences and similarities are skills essential in a multicultural world.

The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: a. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.b. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.Where can I view my results?c. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.d. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.Important information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) may be offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.* Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) is offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.\n UID:131171-21867901@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/131171 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:1500 North Quad 105 S.

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:84303-21621560@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:20250403T102034 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250403T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250403T140000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ADGPE Graduate Student Appreciation Week: Wellness & Social Day DESCRIPTION: The University of Michigan College of Engineering and the Office of the Associate Dean for Graduate and Professional Education invite you to participate in Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week.  This year's theme\, \"Innovate and Celebrate: Graduate Student Engineering Excellence\,\" recognizes our graduate students' hard work and contributions to our community. The Wellness & Social Day event on April 3 is open to current CoE graduate students and will offer food\, music\, activities\, swag\, and door prizes.\n\n UID:133148-21872442@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133148 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Johnson Rooms, 3rd floor LEC CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250227T104926 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250403T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250403T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LSI SciComm Speaker Series: Creating a more impactful role for scientists in advocacy and civic engagement DESCRIPTION:Research!America President and CEO Mary Woolley will discuss challenges and opportunities for research advocates in the context of a new federal administration and congress\, including both funding and policy considerations.

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 document novel evidence on the dynamics of global containership shipping supply\, demand\, and costs. Motivated by this evidence\, we set up a dynamic model of international trade with a global shipping market where shipping firms and importers endogenously determine shipping supply and costs. We find the model accounts for the dynamics of global shipping observed in the aftermath of COVID-19\, at business cycle frequencies\, and following shipping disruptions in the Red Sea. Accounting for global shipping is critical for the dynamics of aggregate economic activity.

Using examples from Japan\, this talk examines how and why menstrual management practices are technologized\, as well as the potential impacts of this for everyday consumers.\n \n Maura Stephens-Chu received her PhD and MA in anthropology from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. She specializes in medical and cultural anthropology\, with an emphasis on embodied experiences of menstruation in contemporary Japan. Maura’s multidisciplinary and intersectional research includes theoretical and methodological approaches from anthropology\, Japanese studies\, gender studies\, history\, and science and technology studies. She has conducted extensive ethnographic research in Tokyo\, Japan\, on young women’s perceptions\, education\, and personal experiences of menstruation and commercial menstrual products. Her historical analysis of Japanese menstrual taboos\, “From Sacred to Secret: Tracing Changes in Views of Menstruation in Japan\,” can be found in the open-access journal *Silva Iaponicarum.* Currently\, Maura is researching the formation of layperson and medical understandings of conditions that fall under the umbrella of menstrual “irregularity\,” including endometriosis\, amenorrhea\, and severe dysmenorrhea. She is also interested in media representations of premenstrual syndrome\, as well as the impact on personal health and privacy from the proliferation of smartphone apps for tracking menstrual cycles.\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.

He holds a Ph.D. in Operations Research and Financial Engineering from Princeton. His recent research focuses on constructing tractable solution methods for large-scale network revenue management problems and building approximation strategies for retail assortment planning.\n\nAbstract: When modeling the demand in revenue management systems\, a natural approach is to focus on a canonical interval of time\, such as a week\, so that we forecast the demand over each week in the selling horizon. Ideally\, we would like to use random variables with general distributions to model the demand over each week. The current demand can give a signal for the future demand\, so we also would like to capture the dependence between the demands over different weeks. Prevalent demand models in the literature\, which are based on a discrete-time approximation to a Poisson process\, are not compatible with these needs. In this talk\, we focus on revenue management models that are compatible with a natural approach for forecasting the demand. Building such models through dynamic programming is not difficult. We divide the selling horizon into multiple stages\, each stage being a canonical interval of time on the calendar. We have random number of customer arrivals in each stage\, whose distribution is arbitrary and depends on the number of arrivals in the previous stage. The question we seek to answer is the form of the corresponding fluid approximation. We give the correct fluid approximation in the sense that it yields asymptotically optimal policies. The form of our fluid approximation is surprising as its constraints use expected capacity consumption of a resource up to a certain time period\, conditional on the demand in the stage just before the time period in question.

IPF is characterized by progressive\, intractable fibrotic remodeling of the distal lungs mediated by key pathogenic cell types\, especially activated fibroblasts (i.e.\, myofibroblasts)\, distal lung epithelial cells\, and recruited myeloid cells. In IPF\, these key cell types cooperate in a self-perpetuating\, dysregulated\, and pathogenic wound healing response that emerges from a “perfect storm” of suceptibility factors including chronic lung injury (e.g. smoking)\; certain genetic and epigenetic modifications\; and cellular senescence due to natural aging. Only two therapies are FDA-approved for IPF\, and while they have slowed progression in some patients\, they do not halt or reverse disease and can have severe side effects. Therefore\, therapies are urgently needed that not only disrupt the disease process to halt progression\, but actually promote reversal of fibrotic remodeling to restore homeostatic lung structure and function. Fibrosis reversal occurs spontaneously in the lung under certain conditions\, allowing a comparison to the failure of resolution in IPF. Fibrosis resolution is a complex process that requires specific activation states\, functional behaviors\, and communication circuits between multiple cell types that culminate in fibrinolysis and restoration of normal tissue.\n\nIn particular\, monocytes and their derivatives (macrophages\, dendritic cells) are central to successful resolution. They coordinate myofibroblast and epithelial phenotypes via prolific secretion of myriad cytokines\, enzymes\, lipids\, and other signaling molecules\; secrete collagen degrading enzymes (i.e.\, matrix metalloproteases) to clear the injury-induced extracellular matrix (ECM)\; promote apoptosis of myofibroblasts\; remove and process debris (dead cells\, degraded proteins/ECM)\; and regulate the adaptive response to avoid autoimmunity. Critically\, monocytes in the IPF lung do not facilitate resolution\, and instead acquire a profibrotic monocyte-derived macrophage (Mo-AM) phenotype that drives disease through pathologic communication with structural cells. Here\, we show that degradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (NPs) promote fibrosis resolution by priming circulating monocytes to become pro-resolving\, rather than profibrotic\, upon arrival in the lung. NPs reduce and possibly reverse lung collagen deposition in the single-dose bleomycin mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis. NPs also dramatically increase the presence of Ly6C lo non-classical monocytes (NCMOs) in the lung and spleen. NCMOs are known as anti-inflammatory promoters of tissue repair and vascular maintenance\, but their functions in IPF are poorly studied. However\, bulk RNA-sequencing\nof NP- vs Vehicle-treated lungs identified upregulation of genes associated with fibrosis resolution that are enhanced in nonclassical monocytes (e.g.\, the key collagenase Mmp13). Overall\, our data suggests that NPs are capable of reprogramming monocytes’ functional behaviors in the fibrotic lung to promote fibrinolysis and brestoration of function.

Previous weather studies have been limited to broadband photometry or low resolution (R ∼100) spectroscopy. In the era of JWST\, precise time-resolved medium-resolution spectroscopy of the coldest brown dwarfs is finally possible\, allowing the effects of chemistry\, temperature\, and condensates to be disentangled. WISE 0855 (280K) is the coldest known brown dwarf and the best analog for studying processes that also occur on gas giant planets within our Solar System. We present high SNR (80 – 100)\, medium resolution (R ∼1000)\, time-series JWST/NIRSpec spectra of WISE 0855. Our observations span 11 hours with 15-minute pointings covering 2.87–5.27 microns. The dominant time-variable feature is carbon monoxide\, with smaller amplitude changes from carbon dioxide and phosphine. Wavelengths impacted by methane\, water vapor\, and ammonia show relatively less variability. Outside of major molecular features\, there are variations that may be interpreted as changes in deeper atmospheric heat. Using atmospheric and structural models\, we investigate the potential impact of water clouds and convection on our observations. Lastly\, I will discuss how these observations tie into the overall picture of this cold world and necessary steps for interpreting other time-series data sets.

This talk will outline two approaches for spectral simulations that consider both the explicit atomistic environment and vibronic transitions. Both phenomena are responsible for spectral shapes in linear spectroscopy and the electronic evolution measured in nonlinear spectroscopy. The first approach utilizes snapshots of chromophore-environment configurations for which chromophore normal modes are determined. The second approach obtains excitation energies for a series of time-correlated snapshots. Both approaches make strides towards more accurate optical spectroscopy simulations. I will show how the approaches can also be made computationally feasible through machine learning of ground and excited state potentials\, opening the door to new physical insights of complex condensed phase systems. By combining vibronic and environmental effects\, along with machine learning for high level wave function theory\, we resolve the long-standing challenge of accurately simulating the linear absorption spectrum of the aqueously solvated GFP chromophore.

Among the main results are the determination of the spectrum of the (non-selfadjoint) linearized operator\, uncovering a remarkable L^2 growth phenomenon related to zero-energy resonance\, and a complete construction of the distorted Fourier transform at small energies. The latter hinges upon a meticulous analysis of the behavior of the resolvent in the upper and lower half-planes in a small disk around zero-energy.

But how and why has migration evolved\, and what influence does it have on the ecology and evolution of migratory species? Ben will discuss research that his lab has been conducting on the evolutionary dynamics of bird migration. This work highlights seasonal migration as an adaptive strategy for site fidelity\, challenging traditional views of migration as a dispersal strategy for exploring new territories. The work further reveals migratory distance as a fundamental axis of the slow-fast continuum of life history that predicts the balance of survival and reproduction\, and leads to enhanced demographic stability and genetic diversity over evolutionary timescales.

Russian occupation of the plant\, which would last thirty-five days\, had begun. Only the dedication and resolve of Ukrainian personnel\, who were held hostage and worked shifts for weeks instead of days\, spared the world a new Chernobyl accident. Meanwhile\, a much more dangerous situation developed at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine\, the largest such facility in Europe. Following an attack there in March 2022\, the Russian military remains in control. In this lecture Serhii Plokhii discusses the challenges that the Russian takeover of the nuclear sites presents to the world. We must face up to a new reality: there has already been warfare at two nuclear sites\, and others are vulnerable. The lecture is based on Plokhii’s most recent book\, \"Chernobyl Roulette\" (2024).\n\nSerhii Plokhii (Plokhy) is the Mykhailo Hrushevsky Professor of Ukrainian History and the director of the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University. A leading authority on Ukraine\, Russia\, and Eastern Europe\, he has published extensively on the international history of World War II and the Cold War. His books won numerous awards\, including the Lionel Gelber Prize for the best English-language book on international relations and the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction (UK). His latest book\, \"Chernobyl Roulette: War in the Nuclear Disaster Zone\" was released by W.W. Norton in US and Penguin in UK in September May 2024.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

Our approach accommodates dynamic models with any number of lagged dependent variables as well as other types of (potentially contempo- rary) endogeneity. Our identification strategy relies on a partial stationarity condition\, which not only allows for an unknown distribution of errors but also for temporal dependencies in errors. We derive partial identification results under flexible model specifications and provide additional support conditions for point identification. We demonstrate the robust finite-sample performance of our approach using Monte Carlo simulations\, and apply the approach to analyze the empirical application of income categories using various ordered choice models.

Our resources to address these problems are limited. It’s easy to think\, then\, that we should devote ourselves to our most promising solutions.\nIt’s easy\, but it’s wrong.\nThe great paradox of scientific research is that pure exploration – research into deep questions motivated by pure curiosity\, without concern for applications – is ultimately what transforms our lives in tangible\, practical ways.\nIn this talk\, I will speak not just as a physicist interested in puzzles of quantum entanglement and five-dimensional black holes\, but also as someone who has spent the past 25 years helping to establish and grow an institute dedicated to fundamental research. I will make the case for blue-sky research and share my optimism about our collective future.\n\nBio\nRobert Myers (PhD\, Princeton University\, 1986) is the BMO Financial Group Isaac\nNewton Chair at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo\, Ontario\,\nCanada. He joined Perimeter as a founding faculty in 2001\, was the Interim Director\nfrom 2007 to 2008\, served as Faculty Chair from 2011 to 2018\, and as the Director in\n2019 to 2024. Prior to coming to Perimeter\, he was a Professor of Physics at McGill\nUniversity.\nMyers has broad interests in theoretical physics\, with contributions ranging from\nquantum field theory to black holes and cosmology. Several of his discoveries\, such as\nthe “Myers effect” and “linear dilaton cosmology” have been influential in seeding new\nlines of research. His current research focuses on the interplay of quantum\nentanglement and spacetime geometry\, and on applying new perspectives and tools\nfrom quantum information science to the study of quantum gravity.\nAmong his many honours\, Myers has been awarded the Herzberg Medal by the\nCanadian Association of Physicists (1999)\, the CAP-CRM Prize in Theoretical and\nMathematical Physics by the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) and the Centre\nde Recherches Mathématiques (2005)\, the Vogt Medal by the CAP and TRIUMF\n(2012)\, the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Waterloo (2018)\, and the\nCAP Medal for Lifetime Achievements in Physics (2024).

In this talk\, she turns to art that lingers in the wound not in order to address/heal the injury but to graze against it\, even to risk re-opening it in the interembodied space of the theatre. Such art is not after healing or repair: it risks\, rather\, an exposure to traumatic intensities that cannot be captured through anamnesis\, intensities that have a fugitive relationship to being grasped or understood\, and which\, importantly\, exert a sadistic force on the artist and the audience. That such sadism is also tender is not a contradiction\, but the very condition of a kind of sadism we might think of as aesthetic. Drawing on the first part of the Cadela Força trilogy by Carolina Bianchi and the art collective Cara de Cavalo\, Saketopoulou explores how wound and aesthetics meet through an ethical form of sadistic practice conjugated not through clarity\, understanding\, or catharsis but through the courting of confusion.\n\nAvgi Saketopoulou is a psychoanalyst who lives and works in New York City. She completed her analytic training at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis\, where she also teaches. Her published work addresses issues around trauma\, gender\, and sexuality. She is the author of Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk\, Race\, Traumatophilia (NYU Press\, 2023) and co-author with Ann Pellegrini of Gender Without Identity (Unconscious in Translation 2023). \n\nThank you to our co-sponsors: \nInstitute for the Humanities\, UMOR\, and LSA DEI Office UID:133768-21873540@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133768 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Communications,Discussion,film,free,humanities,In Person,institute for the humanities,Interdisciplinary,Language,lecture,multicultural,networks,Performance Art,Philosophy,Romance Languages And Literatures,Social Impact,Storytelling,Talk,Workshop,Writing LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - RLL Commons (MLB 4314) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250307T155901 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250403T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250403T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Scientific Computing in the Biological and Health Sciences DESCRIPTION:Academic opportunities and fellowships for graduate students who combine Scientific Computing with Biology\, Kinesiology\, Medicine\, Pharmacy\, Public Health\, or any other biological or health-related science.\n\nThis session will be offered in-person and on Zoom.

We revisit a clinical trial that randomized depressed adults (n=493) to a brief course of psychotherapy delivered by non-specialists or to a control condition. Five years later\, the treatment group was 12 percentage points less likely to be depressed than the control group and had experienced 9 fewer months of depression on average over five years\, implying a cost of $7.3 per month of depression averted. These effects exceeded expert predictions. Despite sustained improvements in mental health\, we find no significant impacts on employment or consumption\, sug- gesting that improved mental health alone may not be enough to persistently improve economic well-being in low-income settings.

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.

While archival theory often conceptualizes archives as repositories of collective memory\, history\, or knowledge\, this workshop explores both institutional and non-traditional archives\, questioning how they are formed\, preserved\, and accessed. Through an interdisciplinary lens\, participants will examine the role of archives in shaping Armenian history\, cultural identity\, and scholarship\, as well as the limitations and biases inherent in archival practices. By addressing the challenges of archival silences\, displacement\, and the role of digital tools in preservation\, this workshop aims to foster new approaches to archival research.\n\nThe panels will cover a wide range of topics\, including new methods in access and digitization\, materiality and contact within the archive\, the role of state and counter-archives\, and local communities’ preservation practices. Participants will engage with case studies on liturgical hymn organization\, handwritten text recognition\, and digital community archiving\, among other innovative research projects. Additionally\, a special conversation with personal archivist Anahit Toumajan will offer insights into alternative archival practices outside institutional settings. A guided tour of the University of Michigan’s Armenian special collections will provide hands-on engagement with rare books and manuscripts\, further enriching the discussion on archival methodologies and resources.\n\nThe workshop will culminate in a keynote lecture by Dr. Elyse Semerdjian\, whose research on \"embodied archives\" offers a feminist critique of archival practice in Armenian Studies. Her work examines how physical and material remnants\, such as scars and tattooed texts\, function as historical records\, challenging conventional notions of archival preservation. By bringing together scholars\, archivists\, and practitioners\, this workshop seeks to advance critical conversations about the past\, present\, and future of archives in Armenian Studies\, fostering a more nuanced understanding of how history is documented\, remembered\, and reinterpreted.\n\n=========================\nDAY 1 — Friday: April 4\, 2025\n=========================\n\n9:00-9:30 AM — Introductory Remarks: Emma Avagyan (Middle East Studies)\, Nazelie Doghramadjian (Information)\, Allison Grenda (History of Art)\, Gottfried Hagen (Middle East Studies)\n\n9:30-11:00 AM — Panel 1: New Methods in Access\, Preservation\, and Digitization of Armenian Heritage\nDiscussant: Bogdan Pavlish\, University of Michigan\n● Vardan Sargsyan\, University of Michigan. “Unlocking the Sharaknots’: A New Approach to Organizing Armenian Liturgical Hymns”\n● Chahan Vidal-Gòrene\, Calfa\, École Nationale des Chartes-PSL. “A Case Study on the Application of Handwritten Text Recognition to Mekhitarist Archives”\n\n11:00-11:15 AM — Break\n\n11:15 AM-12:45 PM — Panel 2: Beyond Text: Materiality and Contact within the Archive\nDiscussant: Christiane Gruber\, University of Michigan\n● Anahit Gasparyan\, Tufts University. “Reimagining Access to Armenian Sources: The Value of Facsimiles in Art Historical Research”\n● Tsovinar Kuiumchian\, University of Oxford. “‘My house is full of ghosts’: Textile Archive as a Transgenerational Contact Zone”\n\n12:45-2:00 PM — Lunch for Workshop Participants\n\n2:00-3:00 PM — Panel 3: Conversation with Mrs. Anahit Toumajan\, Armenian Language Teacher & Personal Archivist\nModerators: Nazelie Doghramadjian\, University of Michigan\; Michael Pifer\, University of Michigan\n● Anahit Toumajan\, who is an Armenian language teacher and personal archivist in the Armenian community here in Michigan\, will discuss her work preserving and arranging Mihran Toumajan’s archive. Mihran\, born in 1890\, was one of the five pupils of Gomidas and went on to become a famous composer and musician himself. Throughout his life\, he kept detailed correspondence with his family\, friends\, and fellow pupils. Through his letters and journals\, we learn more about his childhood\, his family’s purchase of his first piano\, his lessons with Gomidas\, and well as his capture and exile during the Armenian Genocide. In conversation with PhD student Nazelie Doghramadjian and Marie Manoogian Professor of Armenian Language and Literature Michael Pifer\, Anahit Toumajan will discuss her work on this invaluable archive in her home\, and how her work may be different from institutional archiving. She will also discuss some special materials within the archive that are full of emotion\, personality\, and history.\n\n3:00-3:30 PM — Break\n\n3:30 PM - 4:45 PM — Library and Special Collections Tour\nLed by U-M Librarians Brendan Nieubuurt\, Armine Kirakosyan\, and Beth Snyder [for workshop participants only]\n● The University of Michigan's Hatcher Graduate Library and Special Collections Research Center is a gem on our campus and for the Center for Armenian Studies.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: One of the most important tools for exploring heterogeneous data in many application areas are finite density mixture models. Non- and semiparametric finite density mixture models are a relatively new field of research within a wider area of finite density mixture models that has a lot to offer in terms of theory\, methodology\, and applications. In this presentation\, we discuss a general approach to designing algorithms for estimation of components of these models based on the nonparametric smoothed penalized maximum likelihood. This approach results in converging algorithms for many different semi- and nonparametric finite density mixture models\, including the multivariate ones. In doing so\, this approach unifies conceptually many seemingly disparate mixture models. We also illustrate the usefulness of the proposed approach by showing the large-sample consistency of the implicit estimator that results from applying this method. Several simulations and real-life applications round out our presentation. \n\nhttps://www.stat.purdue.edu/people/faculty/mlevins.html UID:132386-21870853@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132386 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240130T121551 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T200000 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:84303-21621561@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:20250327T105216 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T112000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Vertical Integration and Consumer Choice: Evidence from a Field Experiment DESCRIPTION:Platforms\, retailers\, and other firms often offer their own products alongside products sold by competitors\, but this form of vertical integration has become a target of regulation in digital markets. We study the effects of this practice through a field experiment that hides brands owned by Amazon (i.e.\, private labels) from shoppers on Amazon.com. We first consider the effects of this removal on three aspects of consumer behavior: substitution to other products\, changes in search effort\, and substitution to other retail websites. In the absence of Amazon brands\, our results indicate that consumers substitute toward products that are similar along most observable dimensions. We find no evidence that treated consumers change their search effort\, nor that they shift their shopping behavior to other retail websites. To evaluate a fourth mechanism—how the presence of Amazon brands affects equilibrium prices—we estimate a structural model of demand and simulate counterfactual prices when removing such products. Our estimates imply that\, for the categories we study\, removing Amazon brands would reduce consumer surplus by 3.8 percent in the short run\, and roughly one quarter of the impact is due to equilibrium price increases by other products. The effects are heterogeneous\, with consumer surplus reductions exceeding 10 percent in some categories\, while other categories realize no change or even positive increases in consumer surplus when Amazon brands are removed.

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

In this talk\, she turns to art that lingers in the wound not in order to address/heal the injury but to graze against it\, even to risk re-opening it in the interembodied space of the theatre. Such art is not after healing or repair: it risks\, rather\, an exposure to traumatic intensities that cannot be captured through anamnesis\, intensities that have a fugitive relationship to being grasped or understood\, and which\, importantly\, exert a sadistic force on the artist and the audience. That such sadism is also tender is not a contradiction\, but the very condition of a kind of sadism we might think of as aesthetic. Drawing on the first part of the Cadela Força trilogy by Carolina Bianchi and the art collective Cara de Cavalo\, Saketopoulou explores how wound and aesthetics meet through an ethical form of sadistic practice conjugated not through clarity\, understanding\, or catharsis but through the courting of confusion.\n\nAvgi Saketopoulou is a psychoanalyst who lives and works in New York City. She completed her analytic training at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis\, where she also teaches. Her published work addresses issues around trauma\, gender\, and sexuality. She is the author of Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk\, Race\, Traumatophilia (NYU Press\, 2023) and co-author with Ann Pellegrini of Gender Without Identity (Unconscious in Translation 2023). \n\nThank you to our co-sponsors: \nInstitute for the Humanities\, UMOR\, and LSA DEI Office UID:133768-21873541@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133768 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Communications,Discussion,film,free,humanities,In Person,institute for the humanities,Interdisciplinary,Language,lecture,multicultural,networks,Performance Art,Philosophy,Romance Languages And Literatures,Social Impact,Storytelling,Talk,Workshop,Writing LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - RLL Commons (MLB 4314) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250328T121803 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T130000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Dear Colleagues: Diversity\, equity & inclusion initiatives are legally defensible and here is how higher education should respond.

As a scholar of the Black Atlantic he has curated and co-curated exhibitions with Black British artists including the Turner Prize winner\, Lubaina Himid\, Godfried Donkor\, textile artist Althea McNish and rising stars Jade de Montserrat and Lela Harris. This talk will showcase these curatorial interventions including work with the Whitworth on their Trade and Empire exhibition where together with his co-curators he used extant objects to tell new stories about slavery and exploitation. \n\nMore recent work in Lancaster focuses on its history as the fourth largest slave port and uses the work of Black British artists to challenge the elision of difficult histories. He will discuss how he\, together with Lancaster Black History Group\, uses the work of Himid\, de Montserrat and Harris to get African Atlantic representation into the heart of the museum. His final short case study will show how together with Preston Black History Group he has worked with the community in Bamber Bridge to memorialise the widely forgotten story of a mutiny against Jim Crow segregation by African American troops in a small village in Lancashire. Overall\, he will discuss the importance of activist interventions as an academic and curator.

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.

At HSHE\, we envision a world where decent\, safe\, affordable\, and healthy housing is available to everyone. However\, we know our state and nation are far from realizing that vision. We understand that living conditions and location impact many aspects of people’s lives\, including their health. We also understand that inequities in access to decent\, safe\, affordable\, and healthy housing persist in Michigan and across the United States. As a part of our work\, we developed a pilot grant program to fund researchers who are interested in exploring housing and health related topics. During this webinar\, we will hear from our three grantees – Dr. Kate Bauer\, Associate Professor of Nutritional Sciences\, Dr. Margi Dewar\, Professor Emerita of Urban and Regional Planning\, and Dr. Joe LaBriola\, Research Assistant Professor at the Institute for Social Research – who will discuss their projects and findings.

Uncovering the mechanisms by which a large number of microbial species can coexist on limited resources remains an important open problem. Here I will discuss this problem in unique context: bacteria that inhabit tumors. Bacterial colonization of solid tumors is widespread\, but how the tumor environment affects bacterial growth (and vice versa) is poorly understood. Our experimental collaborators infect mouse tumors with DNA-barcoded bacteria\, creating competition among thousands of clonal bacterial \"species\". We find that after an initial expansion period\, clone sizes exhibit universal power-law statistics. These statistics are robust across experiments and collection times\, and unique to bacteria grown in the tumor environment rather than in liquid culture. Combining population ecology with nonequilibrium statistical physics\, we develop a mechanistic theory of intra-tumor bacterial growth that includes an infection bottleneck\, local growth constraints\, global resource competition\, and environmental noise. Our simple physical theory captures the dynamics and the statistics of the experiments\, explains the uniqueness of the observations to the tumor environment\, and represents an important step in quantitatively characterizing the tumor microbiome.

However\, it is unclear whether this inference is accurate given that prior research has largely overlooked the role of ethnicity. Analyzing data from the US and Western Europe (N = 34\,443)\, we found that ethnic minorities (and right-wing individuals) prefer strong leaders to a greater extent than Whites (and left-wing individuals). Notably\, ethnic minorities across diverse ethnic and political backgrounds are closer to right-wing Whites on strong leader preference than to left-wing Whites. Our work also provides some evidence\, using both measurement-of-mediation (Studies 1-4) and experimental mediation (pre-registered Studies 5-6)\, that generalized trust helps explain group differences in strong leader preference. Importantly\, our findings suggest that left-wing Whites’ leadership preferences should not be considered the “default” as they do not generalize even to left-wing people belonging to other ethnic backgrounds.

Today\, the hospital seems nearly invisible\, even though it bookends the beginning and end of most people’s lives. But initially this institution was met with opposition from a host of critics and commentators.\n\nThis talk focuses on Vienna in the twentieth century as the privileged site for this exemplary tale about the hospital’s rise\, the suspicions it generated\, and the experiences it occasioned. The Architecture of Illness investigates various hospital building styles\, as these come to influence people’s experiences of health care. Using examples from literary works by Arthur Schnitzler and Rainer Maria Rilke as well as architectural treatises\, this talk charts the waiting games\, the diffuse spaces\, and the contagious rumors that plague hospitals from the moment of their establishment.\n\n \nFatima Naqvi is Leavenworth Professor of German and Film at Yale University. She is currently the chair of the Film & Media Studies Program as well as of the European Studies Council. Her scholarship has focused on the intersection of architecture and Bildung in the literature of Thomas Bernhard\; landscape and its function in post-war West German culture\; the rhetoric of victimhood in Western European Culture from the late 1960s to the present\; and the films of director Michael Haneke. Drawn to the curmudgeons\, querulous types\, and naysayers of literature and film\, she has recently written on Elfriede Jelinek\, Ruth Beckermann\, Friederike Mayröcker\, and Peter Handke.

Consumers have a binary protected characteristic\, which is associated with value distributions ranked in the likelihood ratio order\, conditional on the cost of serving them. We characterize the revenue-maximizing market segmentation and pricing strategy subject to a non-discriminatory constraint\, where consumers with the same cost but different protected characteristics must face the same price distributions. This problem is equivalent to an optimal transport with a non-supermodular objective function. When consumers' value distributions given protected characteristics are different enough\, consumers could retain positive surplus under the profit-maximizing pricing rule\, although which protected characteristic benefits more is generally ambiguous. Moreover\, these surplus are enjoyed by consumers with intermediate values\, whereas high-value and low-value consumers do not retain any surplus.

In this work\, we demonstrate that we can reap the benefits of overparameterization without the computational burden. First\, we develop theory showing that when training the parameters of a deep linear network to fit a low-rank or wide matrix\, the gradient dynamics of each weight matrix are confined to an invariant low-dimensional subspace. This is done by carefully studying the gradient update step\, which is the product of several matrix variables\, and noticing the way low-rank structure passes from the low-rank target through the variables sequentially. Given this invariant subspace\, we can construct and train compact\, highly compressed factorizations possessing the same benefits as their overparameterized counterparts. For language model fine-tuning\, we introduce a method called \"Deep LoRA\"\, which improves the existing low-rank adaptation (LoRA) technique. While this technique does not arise directly from our theory\, it involves only a minor modification that is surprisingly effective and of great interest for future theoretical study.\n\nContact: Peter Miller UID:130193-21865580@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130193 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T063245 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250404T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Discover McKinsey's Hispanic and Latino Network DESCRIPTION:Meet McKinsey's Hispanic and Latino Network!

We introduce a family of posets called categorical n-associahedra\, which naturally extend Bottman's 2-associahedra and the classical associahedra. Categorical n-associahedra give a combinatorial model for the poset of strata of a compactified real moduli space of a tree arrangement of affine coordinate subspaces. We construct a family of complete polyhedral fans\, called velocity fans\, whose coordinates encode the relative velocities of pairs of colliding coordinate subspaces\, and whose face posets are the categorical n-associahedra. In particular\, this gives the first fan realization of 2-associahedra. In the case of the classical associahedron\, the velocity fan specializes to the normal fan of Loday's realization of the associahedron. Time permitting\, we will discuss current investigations of projectivity of velocity fans. This is joint work with Nathaniel Bottman and Daria Poliakova.

During the Late Cretaceous (100-66 Ma)\, over half of modern angiosperm families rapidly evolved. This led to the shift from gymnosperm (e.g.\, conifers\, cycads) dominated forests to angiosperm dominated forests in which landscapes began to appear more similar to the modern. In this talk\, I will discuss how my research group investigates this critical transition by analyzing three-dimensionally preserved plant fossil from the Late Cretaceous on western North America and Antarctica. The exceptional preservation of these fossils allows us to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships and the paleobiology of these fossils in outstanding detail\, which enables new perspectives on the Late Cretaceous diversification of angiosperms and the concomitant development of modern terrestrial ecosystems.

The main objective of SPRINT has been to develop a new approach to intonation based primarily on the investigation of intonation variability and pragmatics. SPRINT started from the position that intonation is not a “half-tamed savage”\, as the frequently used (and highly questionable) metaphor of Bolinger’s has it\, but part of a language’s phonological component whose phonetic features are as tame as any other aspect of speech production\, provided a) we treat them as such and b) we employ suitable methodologies to study them. Starting from this position\, in the talk\, I cover three topics: a) the main sources of variability in intonation and the methodologies employed in SPRINT to address them\, so we can distinguish systematic\, linguistically determined variation\, from gradience\, and noise\; b) the role that meaning can play in this process\; c) the lessons we learned from researching these topics and the ways they have shaped the main SPRINT objective\, determining what we retain from AM\, the most widely adopted model of intonation\, and what we need to revise. Overall\, the findings support SPRINT’s starting point and provide encouraging results on which to build this new foundation.

What she accidentally found was too urgent to ignore. Her neighbors\, many of whom had owned their homes for decades\, were losing them to property tax foreclosure\, leaving once bustling Black neighborhoods blighted with vacant homes.\n\nThrough years of dogged investigation and research\, Atuahene uncovered a system of predatory governance\, where public officials raise public dollars through laws and processes that produce or sustain racial inequity — a nationwide practice in no way limited to Detroit.\n\nIn this powerful work of scholarship and storytelling\, Atuahene shows how predatory governance invites complicity from well-meaning people\, eviscerates communities\, and widens the racial wealth gap. By following the lives of two Detroit grandfathers\, one Black and the other white\, and their grandchildren\, Atuahene tells a riveting tale about racist policies\, how they take root\, why they flourish\, and who profits. Plundered's release date is Jan. 28\, 2025.\n\nLocal book talks include: \nANN ARBOR on Friday\, April 4\n6:30-8 p.m. at Literati Bookstore\, 124 E.

Even tireless founder and lead songwriter Z. Lupetin would agree you have to come to a show to find out. Going strong into their second decade after starting from a humble Craigslist ad posted in bohemian Venice Beach\, some would say Dustbowl’s ever-evolving collective (there have been nearly thirty members!) plays a spicy cocktail of folky-funk or booty-shaking jangly rock n’ soul: expertly mixing their New Orleans-tinted brass section with their signature Laurel Canyon harmonies and fearless lyrics.\n\nIn 2019 the group completed a successful run of performing art centers paying homage to their heroes in The Band and in 2025 Dustbowl is embarking on a new run of theaters and festivals showcasing the music of LA’s Laurel Canyon. A brassy Beatles cover will come this fall followed by a new record of originals slated for early 2025 - recorded in a cabin studio in Wisconsin with noted engineer Brian Joseph (Bon Iver\, Sufjan Stevens). \n\nHowever you sip their sound\, Dustbowl Revival has become a beloved fixture of the Americana community - from playing tiny speakeasies and pubs around their southern California base\, to headlining thousands of shows in ten countries and counting. Indeed\, founder Z. Lupetin’s quixotic Craigslist ad hoping to find like-minded music-makers to play songs inspired equally by Wilco\, Bob Dylan and Springsteen as Nina Simone\, Fleetwood Mac and Bill Withers may seem confusing\, but somehow it worked.\n\n“Maybe we don’t know where this journey will take us or how long it will last\,” acknowledges Lupetin\, “That’s my take on the importance of what we try to do. Music elevates us\, lifts us up\, makes us change our minds\, takes us out of our comfort zones. If just one person can be moved by just one song\, that’s enough.” UID:134628-21874635@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134628 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250529T160721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250711T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Chatham Rabbits DESCRIPTION:New Music!\n\nThere is something warm and instantly familiar about the beloved roots duo Chatham Rabbits. Partners in music and life\, Chatham Rabbits’ Austin and Sarah McCombie blend their personal histories through deft songwriting and a history that comes from building a life together. Leaning into each other's strengths\, their songs present a congenial\, collaborative spirit that has captured the pure adoration of fans along the way and earned them praise from Garden & Gun Magazine\, American Songwriter\, and No Depression.\nTheir artistry hinges on a fervent desire to connect with others through the music that first brought the pair together. Steeped in the regional traditions of their North Carolina home\, Chatham Rabbits’ musical pursuits represent a new age of roots music.\n\nThe duo recorded and released their beloved debut album\, \"All I Want From You in 2019\,\" and this set the standard for their sophomore release\, \"The Yoke is Easy\, The Burden is Full\,\" the centerpiece song from which\, “Oxen\,” was named “Top Folk Song of 2020” by Paste Magazine.\n\nNurtured by central North Carolina’s fertile\, influential music scene\, Chatham Rabbits’ sound continued to evolve on their expansive third album\, \"If You See Me Riding By\" (2022)\, which was simultaneously released with a television series\, \"On the Road with Chatham Rabbits\,\" on PBS-NC. The McCombies' ingenuity during the Covid-19 crisis led to the creation of their mobile concert experience\, \"The Stay at Home Tour\,\" which took the duo to 194 neighborhoods in 2020-21. The pair comes to The Ark with their latest album\, “Be Real With Me.” UID:134627-21874634@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250509T115004 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250729T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Sonny Landreth in a Rare Solo Appearance DESCRIPTION:“Sonny Landreth is probably the most underestimated musician on the planet\, and also probably one of the most advanced.” –Eric Clapton\n\nNew frontiers fit nicely atop the boundary-breaking career of singer-songwriter and slide guitar icon Sonny Landreth. From performing live with Buddy Guy and John Hiatt in theaters and arenas around the United States\, to post-New Orleans Jazz Fest jamming on bayou rhythms with Oteil Burbridge and Johnny Vidacovich\, to recording and playing live with ukulele phenom Jake Shimabukuro at The Blue Note in Hawaii\, it’s been a noteworthy couple of years for the two-time Grammy nominee. And those are just his side projects.\n\n“One of the things I love about collaborations with other artists is the element of surprise\,” Landreth says of his continually expanding musical horizons. “When the chemistry is there\, it’s always inspiring to find new twists and turns that up the game creatively.”\n\nLandreth tours regularly in a duo with fellow slide guitar ace Cindy Cashdollar as well as with his own electric and acoustic trio. From every edition of Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival to Wintergrass to Camp Cripple Creek for Jim Weider’s The Weight Band and beyond\, Landreth and his musical partners are always reaching for the unexpected and unexplored. He’s twice graced the cover of Guitar Player magazine\, and he’s featured on the lead track of Shemekia Copeland’s Grammy-nominated album Done Come Too Far.\n\nStretching in different directions\, Landreth says\, “gives you a broader perspective – and I think that impacts every aspect of making music. I know it’s helped to make our shows more memorable and more fun for everyone onstage and in the audience too.” UID:134625-21874632@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134625 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250509T114951 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250821T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Annie and Rod Capps Quartet // DESCRIPTION:Both groups celebrating the release of new albums!\n\nSons of the Never Wrong is a turbo-charged Altfolk trio from Chicago that delivers witty\, whimsical songs with their signature soaring vocal harmonies and gorgeous arrangements. In case you are wondering\, they’re two gals and a fella: Bruce Roper\, Sue Demel\, & Deborah Lader. Their odd ball humor and spontaneous stories ignite their live shows and have earned them a cult-like international following for over 30 years.\n\nAnnie and Rod Capps have established themselves as well-respected songwriters\, musicians and performers\, with three albums topping the Folk Radio charts and as 2-time Kerrville New Folk Finalists. The Capps’ sound meets at the intersection of Americana & Folk drawing on rock\, jazz\, blues and bluegrass influences. What comes out is a hybrid sound all their own. Genuine and playful\; effortless and endearing\; this duo\, along with bandmates\, Jason Dennie and Ozzie Andrews\, has been sharing their music with happy audiences in quality music venues\, house concerts\, coffeehouses and festivals throughout their home state of Michigan and beyond.

Carlisle’s music has always been a dance between absurdity\, spectacle\, and philosophy. On his fourth studio album\, Winged Victory\, Carlisle returns with his signature blend of traditionally-rooted folk music and kaleidoscope of oddball characters to confer with his core tenets in more overt and provocative ways. \n\nCarlisle delivers Victory as the next chapter in his long-running direct address to the hope that by understanding our collective suffering we might be free of it. He’s intent on creating art and a well-rounded life in a broken world. The idea began with 2022’s Peculiar\, Missouri when Carlisle proclaimed “your heart’s a big tent\, everybody gets in.” After gathering together all the world’s weirdos and misfits under the big tent\, with 2024’s Critterland\, Carlisle let them loose into the world. Now\, on Winged Victory\, they speak for themselves\, unencumbered by social expectations. \n \nVictory\, Carlisle’s first self-produced album\, will be released June 27 via Signature Sounds. It both indulges a few of his wildest dreams (including a version of Richard Thompson’s “Beeswing\,” among several traditional folk song covers)\, and feels like the inevitable sequel to Critterland’s charismatic menagerie of chaos. Though occasionally raunchy\, and routinely provocative\, Victory is not afraid to make a spectacle for the sake of a point. Victory should be understood as a reflection. It revels in the beauty of tiny\, monetarily-worthless moments and things\, offering with them a consideration of our innate humanity.
