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. Contact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\n*The exhibition is cosponsored by the Ukrainian American Archives & Museum*.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

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.

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

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

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

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

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621566@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:20250403T181620 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250410T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250410T190000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:8-BIT Music Exhibit: The Gallery DESCRIPTION:MORE INFO: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/8bitmusic/ \n\nThe 8-Bit Music Exhibit is a week-long exploration of the creation of the nostalgic\, retro tunes many have grown up with and come to love\, as well as a showcase of how such music has been reclaimed and repurposed for continued existence in the modern world. The gallery plans to guide viewers through a history of 8-bit music\, its significance to media and video games of its time\, and notable figures that influenced the legacy of the niched genre. In the workshop\, participants will learn how modern chiptune artists create music from Game Boys and the production software LSDJ\, and have the opportunity to create music of their own design. Throughout the end of the exhibit week\, we will celebrate the historic and modern legacies of 8-bit music in a set of live performances produced by Norah\, a seasoned chiptune artist.\n\nOur goal in developing this exhibit is to highlight 8-bit/chiptune music as a unique form of digital art celebrated for its sound\, cultural significance\, and innovation. Throughout the lifespans of the original hardware supporting this music\, artists often faced limitations due to hardware constraints. These difficulties led to early video game industry composers inventing new techniques and methods for music creation that have evolved over time and remain influential today.\n\nTHANK YOU to our co-sponsors and partners for your support in the creation of this event!\n-> U-M LSA Technology Services Digital Scholarship (https://lsa.umich.edu/technology-services/services/research-tools/digital-scholarship.html)\n-> U-M Digital Studies Institute (https://www.digitalstudies.umich.edu/)\n-> U-M Arts Initiative (https://arts.umich.edu/arts-initiative)\n-> Neutral Zone (https://www.neutral-zone.org/event-list/2025/4/11/free-tech-workshop-chiptune-8-bit)\n-> Ann Arbor District Libraries (https://aadl.org/)\n-> Ypsilanti District Libraries (https://www.ypsilibrary.org/)\n-> Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor (https://www.pinballpetes.org/copy-of-east-lansing-location)\n-> Video Game Music Club (VGMC) (https://maizepages.umich.edu/organization/vgmc)\n-> WolvSec (https://wolvsec.org/)\n-> LGBTQ+ Michigan (https://websites.umich.edu/~lgbtqmichigan/#)\n-> Ann Arbor Fighting Game Community at the University of Michigan (FGC) (https://maizepages.umich.edu/organization/a2fgc) UID:134668-21874694@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134668 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Digital Culture,Digital Media,Exhibition,Free,In Person,Music,Video Games LOCATION:Shapiro Library - Clark Commons CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250327T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250410T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250410T170000 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.

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 show that this urban bias mainly reflected wage growth at large Business Services firms. These firms stand out through their high per-worker expenditure on information technology and disproportionate presence in big cities. We introduce a spatial model of investment-specific technical change that can rationalize these patterns. Using the model as an accounting framework\, we find that the observed decline in the investment price of information technology capital explains most urban-biased growth by raising the profits of large Business Services firms in big cities.

The villagers and the African American troops stationed there saw each other as allies in a fight with a shared enemy\, Nazi Germany\, and refused American military demands to impose segregation. This led to fighting between the white military police and soldiers from the 1511 Black Quartermaster Truck Division\, with over 400 live rounds being fired. One of the African American soldiers\, Private William Crossland\, died on the village streets. Afterward 35 soldiers were tried for mutiny and 31 convicted. This battle galvanised the fight for civil rights that unfolded over the ensuing decades but remains little known in the US. I situate the mutiny as part of the wider Double-V campaign and in the context of the Detroit riots which happened a few days before\; furthermore\, I outline the importance of this incident for an understanding of the Transnational fight against Jim Crow and for human rights by African Americans in a segregated army far from home. My article in The Conversation has attracted 500\,000 views since its publication in 2018 and numerous documentaries\, film-makers and dramatists are collaborating with me in making sure this incident is brought to wider attention for until it was featured on NPR during the 80th anniversary in 2024 (around 50m listeners) it was mainly unheard about in the USA.\nAlan Rice biography:\nAlan Rice is Professor in English and American Studies at UCLan\, Preston and co-director of the Institute for Black Atlantic Research (IBAR).

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have shown tremendous promise for controlling robotic arms and computer tablets as well as restoring somatosensory function. Dr. Willsey’s work focuses on developing an entry level brain-computer interface to help restore motor function for people with paralysis. \n\nThe seminar covers the basic principles of BCI technology\, available recording systems (e.g.\, electroencephalography\, electrocorticography\, and microelectrode arrays)\, and controllable effectors\, along with development of a state-of-the-art decoder. The talk will also describe a state-of-the-art decoder\, used to translate neural activity into a control signal for external devices. Specifically\, this temporally convolved neural network decoder\, which incorporated a time series of neural data into the decoding algorithm\, allowed the simultaneous movement of 3 finger groups\, of which the thumb moves in 2D\, and acquired 76 finger targets per minute. Furthermore\, a human participant with tetraplegia controlled a virtual quadcopter navigating a ringed obstacle course in a physics-based simulation using these decoded finger movements. Finally\, Dr. Willsey will review several new companies that are commercializing BCI technology in early clinical trials and discuss the current challenges in translating BCIs for eventual human use.\nBio:\nMatthew attended MIT where he received B.S. and M.Eng. degrees in Electrical Engineering with a research focus in digital signal processing. He later attended medical school at Baylor College of Medicine and completed his neurosurgery residency at the University of Michigan in 2022. He completed a PhD in Biomedical Engineering during his 2-year resident research time plus an additional leave-of-absence year. His research focused on intracortical brain-computer interfaces\, computational neuroscience\, and neuromodulation. After graduation\, he completed a one-year\, post-graduate appointment as a clinical instructor stereotactic/functional neurosurgery and epilepsy at Stanford University where he conducted research in the Neural Prosthetics Translational Lab directed by Dr. Jaimie Henderson.\n\nHe is currently an assistant professor of neurosurgery and biomedical engineering at the University of Michigan and is core faculty in the neural engineering cluster of the Biointerfaces Institute and a Michigan Neuroscience Institute affiliate. His research interests include brain-computer interfaces\, neuromodulation (deep brain stimulation and spinal cord stimulation)\, and computational neuroscience.

We’ll need to adapt in every community and nation\, in every sector of society\, and\, importantly\, in all habitats and ecosystems. There is a nearly boundless need for deep thinking and careful strategizing about how to adapt to a changing climate. We must be thoughtful about the climate challenges and risks we face\, the various adaptation tactics that are available\, and the hang-ups\, conflicts\, and tradeoffs among those challenges and tactics that might be hidden from view. This seminar will explore climate change adaptation for species and ecosystems\, with an emphasis on constraints\, innovation\, and ways to engage the public in adaptation discourse. The talk will also introduce the Midwest Climate Adaptation Science Center\, an organization providing science to guide adaptation practice in our region.

The high-frequency event study method regresses changes in an outcome variable on a measure of unexpected changes in a policy variable in a narrow time window around an event or a policy announcement (e.g.\, a 30-minute window around an FOMC an- nouncement). We show that\, contrary to popular belief\, the narrow size of the window is not sufficient for identification. Rather\, the population regression coefficient identifies a causal estimand when (i) the effect of the policy shock on the outcome does not depend on the other variables (separability) and (ii) the surprise component of the news or event dominates all other variables that are present in the event window (relative exogeneity). Technically\, the latter condition requires the ratio between the variance of the policy shock and that of the other variables to be infinite in the event window. Under these conditions\, we establish the causal meaning of the event study estimand corresponding to the regression coefficient and the consistency and asymptotic normality of the event study estimator. Notably\, this standard linear regression estimator is robust to general forms of nonlinearity. We apply our results to Nakamura and Steinsson’s (2018a) analysis of the real economic effects of monetary pol- icy\, providing a simple empirical procedure to analyze the extent to which the standard event study estimator adequately estimates causal effects of interest.

To examine the role of (mis)perceptions of regime performance as drivers of political attitudes\, we conducted a survey experi- ment during Argentina’s 2023 presidential elections. At baseline\, optimistic beliefs about the performance of populist and non-democratic regimes were widespread\, and correlated with support for these regimes. When exposed to randomly assigned informational treat- ments challenging optimistic views about right-wing populism or autocracies\, individuals significantly adjusted their beliefs and their support for candidates associated with such regimes. We explore the impact of different information sources\, showing that scientific sources and newspapers are more influential than social media. Although individuals ap- pear to adjust their beliefs and attitudes in response to credible information\, we find that information countering people’s beliefs reduces their demand for additional information on regime performance\, consistent with an important role for motivated reasoning.

However\, these interfaces are typically structurally heterogeneous\, which impedes interpreting the structure-activity relationships using conventional ensemble electrochemical measurements. In this presentation\, I will discuss our efforts toward developing and applying electroanalytical techniques—such as scanning electrochemical probe microscopy and correlative microscopy—to gain new knowledge from electrochemical interfacial heterogeneity. First\, I will discuss our efforts towards simultaneous probing of local activity and product selectivity in electrocatalytic reactions via a hybrid scanning electrochemical probe microscopy approach\, equivalent to a miniature rotating ring disk electrode. Combined with correlative electron microscopy\, this approach enables simultaneous mapping of the facet-dependent activity and selectivity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on polycrystalline Au and Pt. In the second example\, I will discuss the approach to measure site-specific nucleation kinetics and energetics in electrodeposition\, which plays an important role in the cyclability of batteries that use metal anodes. Finally\, the application of controlled electrodeposition towards accelerated materials discovery will be discussed.

The hundreds of thousands of preserved inquisitorial trials provide an unparalleled—and almost entirely unstudied—source for how people lived within the complex world of art objects that filled the early modern Hispanic world: how they made them\, what they did with them\, and what hopes and beliefs they placed upon them. \n\nBecause of how ambitious this project is (analyzing material from twenty-six inquisitorial tribunals on three continents across over three centuries)\, I chose to structure my book according to problems that arise time and again in the institution’s archives\, rather than trying to create a comprehensive catalogue of every case where images and artworks appear. I strive to read the inquisitorial trials against the grain to attempt to grant agency to individuals accused of sacrilege: why might they have acted the way they did\, if they actually knocked over a statue of a saint? What else might have been at play? What can we glean of their motivations and beliefs from the often very terse descriptions of the witnesses and notaries? How\, in sum\, can we return some dignity to the individuals who are often only marginally present in the discussions about their own purported actions?\"\n\n Host Brendan McMahon (U-M History of Art) will begin admitting participants to the meeting at 3:50.

The group’s name\, rummage\, evokes both a materiality and an intellectual practice characteristic of museum studies more broadly. On the one hand\, rummaging has a tactile quality. It gestures to the human role in how objects are placed and misplaced\, organized and disorganized\, thrown into juxtaposition\, and often randomly re-discovered anew by individuals negotiating various value systems associated with objects. It evokes an image of coming to objects of the past with new eyes and curiosity. On the other hand\, rummaging could also be used to describe an intellectual approach. In posing questions about the how and why certain narratives come to be exhibited and interpreted\, we root around historical understandings of heritage and the power dynamics that lead certain narratives to become dominant. This process is guided by curiosity\, a drive to understand\, and a skepticism of ordering systems.  UID:134124-21873891@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134124 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Tappan conference room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250303T063205 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250410T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250410T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:USA - Campus - Careers in Tax: Diversified Staff Group DESCRIPTION:Our Tax Diversified program (Diversified Staff Group) provides young Tax professionals the opportunity to learn about EY Tax while balancing both the breadth and depth of their experiences.

Curry Distinguished Lecture in Musicology: George Worlasi Kwasi Dor DESCRIPTION:Join us as the Department of Musicology hosts Dr. George Worlasi Kwasi Dor for its annual Ethel V. Curry Distinguished Lecture. Dr. Dor presents a talk entitled \"Ambivalence of Creating Youthful Aesthetic Satisfaction and Cultural Referential Meaning in Today’s Borborbor Dance-Drumming of the Ghanaian Ewe Youth”\n\nABSTRACT\n\nBorborbor\, the most popular dance of the Ghanaian Ewe youth\, has undergone a phenomenal degree of innovative transformations that exemplify the ingenious creative agency and inventiveness of its practitioners. Invented in the mid 1950s by Kodzo Nuatro of Kpando in the Volta Region of Ghana\, Borborbor has witnessed substantial changes in the areas of instrumentation\, choreography and movement\, geo-cultural scope of its practice\, typology and multiple performance contexts and their attendant meanings\, and its economic potential. To explore the nature and processes of changes that have shaped the genre over its seven decades’ period of existence\, we organized a one-day symposium on Borborbor at the University of Ghana in June 2024. This Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program activity brought together invited practitioners from the socio-cultural and academic communities to dialogue. For our ethnographic strategy\, we used focus group interviews and discussion sessions involving the preceding cultural custodians and intellectuals to elicit specialized perspectives. The symposium culminated in an evening concert given by the Abeka Dekaworwor Fafali Borborbor Band and Kpoeta Ashanti Mile Norvisi group. We video recorded the focus group discussion and performances into ethnographic data\, and today’s presentation is an outgrowth of this on-going research. After explaining the genre’s compelling aesthetic appeal to Ghanaians beyond the Ewe and exploring what the symposium participants considered as referential meaning in Borborbor\, I discuss the emerging ambivalences in the areas of dancing\, views on appropriation\, and Borborbor in the church. I close the discussion with some summative thoughts and ramifications of the symposium for our research project on the generational changes and creative innovations in Borborbor.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER\n\nProf. GEORGE WORLASI KWASI DOR\, a Ghanaian Ewe\, is the McDonnell Barksdale Chair of Ethnomusicology\, Professor of Music\, and the founder and director of the African Drum and Dance Ensemble at the University of Mississippi (UM).

Knowledge of textile history is thus key to our understanding of a multitude of human issues. Textiles can tell us about social\, chronological\, and cultural aspects of past societies and at the same time give us a unique opportunity to come very close to the individual people in their capacity as both users and makers of textiles. \n\nIconographic sources indicate that textiles were used for a variety of purposes by the Etruscans and other peoples of ancient Italy\, but until recently\, little was known about what these textiles were like and how they were produced. The latest and ongoing studies of the surviving fabric remains found primarily in burial contexts and textile tools from settlements are\, for the first time\, permitting not only qualitative but also quantitative assessment of textile production and consumption in pre-Roman Italy and more broadly across Europe. \n\nMargarita Gleba is an associate professor at the University of Padua. She specializes in the prehistory and protohistory of the Mediterranean region\, the archaeology of textiles and other organic materials\, and the use of scientific methods in archaeology.\n\nThis free\, public event is supported by the Kozma Lecture Fund.

How will human work evolve as AI adoption progresses and what will that mean for how people earn a living? How will it reshape how people find meaning and purpose in life? Will the winner-take-most economy of the past several decades continue\, further increasing inequality\, or will AI be the great equalizer? While many things remain unknown\, economist Betsey Stevenson will take us through what we can learn from the past\, what we are already seeing today\, and what might be the best way forward for both income and human flourishing. \n\nBiography\nBetsey Stevenson is a professor of public policy and economics at the University of Michigan. She is also a faculty research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research\, a visiting associate professor of economics at the University of Sydney\, a research fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research\, a fellow of the Ifo Institute for Economic Research in Munich\, and serves on the executive committee of the American Economic Association.

She served as the chief economist of the U.S. Department of Labor from 2010 to 2011\, advising the Secretary of Labor on labor policy and participating as the secretary’s deputy to the White House economic team. She has held previous positions at Princeton University and at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.\n\nDr. Stevenson is a labor economist who has published widely in leading economics journals about the labor market and the impact of public policies on outcomes both in the labor market and for families as they adjust to changing labor market opportunities. Her research explores women’s labor market experiences\, the economic forces shaping the modern family\, and how these labor market experiences and economic forces on the family influence each other. She is a columnist for Bloomberg View\, and her analysis of economic data and the economy are frequently covered in both print and television media.\n\nDr. Stevenson earned a BA in economics and mathematics from Wellesley College and an MA and PhD in economics from Harvard University.\n\nParking/Accessibility Information\nThe closest public parking lot to East Hall is the Forest Avenue Parking Garage (650 S Forest Ave\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48104)\, which is a 5 minute (2 block/0.2 mile) walk to the venue.

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.

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 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.

How do they negotiate their relationships/non-relationships to larger traditions of writers who came before them? How do poets influence each other? What is this conversation across time and space that happens between poets? What is our place in this conversation? What\, indeed\, is that strange thing: an education of a poet? There is no singing school but studying monuments of its own magnificence\, wrote Yeats. So\, in our time together we will look at some very practical devices\, overhear some echoes\, and consider how to discover your own singing school—your own literary tradition—and how to enter and change that tradition.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Distributional regression aims to estimate the full conditional distribution of a target variable\, given covariates. Traditional approaches include linear or tree-based quantile regression. Modern computational-intensive approaches include diffusion models and flow matching. It is shown how a simple extension of the absolute error loss of standard regression yields a light-weight generative model that can easily be extended to very high-dimensional targets. It also can be used in an instrumental variable setting to estimate the full conditional distribution under interventions on the treatment variable. Results are very robust to the chosen model size and there are advantages of a distributional fit even if we only care about conditional mean estimation\, whether observational or interventional. The advantages include robustness properties under mild extrapolation \nin a regression setting and better identifiability results for causal effect estimation. \n\nhttps://people.math.ethz.ch/~nicolai/ UID:132387-21870854@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132387 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:seminar LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250404T161104 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250411T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250411T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Tackling Food Waste in Detroit DESCRIPTION:Detroit produces 250 million pounds of food waste each year\, and reducing that waste is one of the most effective climate solutions.

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:84303-21621567@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:20250403T181620 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250411T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250411T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:8-BIT Music Exhibit: The Gallery DESCRIPTION:MORE INFO: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/8bitmusic/ \n\nThe 8-Bit Music Exhibit is a week-long exploration of the creation of the nostalgic\, retro tunes many have grown up with and come to love\, as well as a showcase of how such music has been reclaimed and repurposed for continued existence in the modern world. The gallery plans to guide viewers through a history of 8-bit music\, its significance to media and video games of its time\, and notable figures that influenced the legacy of the niched genre. In the workshop\, participants will learn how modern chiptune artists create music from Game Boys and the production software LSDJ\, and have the opportunity to create music of their own design. Throughout the end of the exhibit week\, we will celebrate the historic and modern legacies of 8-bit music in a set of live performances produced by Norah\, a seasoned chiptune artist.\n\nOur goal in developing this exhibit is to highlight 8-bit/chiptune music as a unique form of digital art celebrated for its sound\, cultural significance\, and innovation. Throughout the lifespans of the original hardware supporting this music\, artists often faced limitations due to hardware constraints. These difficulties led to early video game industry composers inventing new techniques and methods for music creation that have evolved over time and remain influential today.\n\nTHANK YOU to our co-sponsors and partners for your support in the creation of this event!\n-> U-M LSA Technology Services Digital Scholarship (https://lsa.umich.edu/technology-services/services/research-tools/digital-scholarship.html)\n-> U-M Digital Studies Institute (https://www.digitalstudies.umich.edu/)\n-> U-M Arts Initiative (https://arts.umich.edu/arts-initiative)\n-> Neutral Zone (https://www.neutral-zone.org/event-list/2025/4/11/free-tech-workshop-chiptune-8-bit)\n-> Ann Arbor District Libraries (https://aadl.org/)\n-> Ypsilanti District Libraries (https://www.ypsilibrary.org/)\n-> Pinball Pete's in Ann Arbor (https://www.pinballpetes.org/copy-of-east-lansing-location)\n-> Video Game Music Club (VGMC) (https://maizepages.umich.edu/organization/vgmc)\n-> WolvSec (https://wolvsec.org/)\n-> LGBTQ+ Michigan (https://websites.umich.edu/~lgbtqmichigan/#)\n-> Ann Arbor Fighting Game Community at the University of Michigan (FGC) (https://maizepages.umich.edu/organization/a2fgc) UID:134668-21874695@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134668 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Digital Culture,Digital Media,Exhibition,Free,In Person,Music,Video Games LOCATION:Shapiro Library - Clark Commons CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250324T162500 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250411T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250411T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CGIS Advising Fair DESCRIPTION:CGIS Advising Fair: Want to plan ahead but not sure where to start?

I draw from a \ncorpus of DoD grant solicitations from 2007 to 2023\, focusing on those \naddressed to researchers in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). \nConsidering the implications of DoD funding for academic research\, the \ntalk proceeds through three analytic sections. In the first\, I offer a\n critical examination of the distinction between basic and applied \nresearch\, showing how funding calls framed as basic research nonetheless\n enlist researchers in a war fighting agenda. In the second\, I offer a \ndiachronic analysis of the corpus\, showing how a ‘one small problem’ \ncaveat\, in which affirmation of progress in military technologies is \nqualified by acknowledgement of outstanding problems\, becomes \njustification for additional investments in research. I close with an \nanalysis of DoD aspirations based on a subset of Defense Advanced \nResearch Projects Agency (DARPA) grant solicitations for the use of AI \nin battlefield applications. Taken together\, I argue that grant \nsolicitations work as a vehicle for the mutual enlistment of DoD funding\n agencies and the academic AI research community in setting research \nagendas. The trope of basic research in this context offers shelter from\n significant moral questions that military applications of one’s \nresearch would raise\, by obscuring the connections that implicate \nresearchers in U.S. militarism.\nSpeakerDavid Gray Widder (he/him) studies how people creating “Artificial \nIntelligence” systems think about the downstream harms their systems \nmake possible\, and the wider cultural\, political\, and economic logics \nwhich shape these thoughts.

This is especially true for seedlings\, as the seedling stage represents an important forest recruitment bottleneck. Therefore\, understanding the capability of seedlings of different tree species to respond to environmental changes will provide insight into how forests may look in the future. Tree responses depend on their ecological strategies\, which can be defined by the functional traits of their leaves and roots\, organs responsible for resource uptake above- and belowground. Prior work at the interspecific scale suggests that traits separate into three independent axes: above- and belowground resource conservation axes describing plants resource uptake efficiency and investment in organ construction\, and a belowground collaboration axis describing the degree to which plants rely on mycorrhizal fungi – key root symbionts that aid in resource capture belowground. However\, no work to date has explicitly tested if the proposed collaboration axis accurately describes how plants associate with mycorrhizal fungi\, and therefore the extent to which roots and their symbionts contribute to nutrient uptake within species remains largely untested. My dissertation addresses this through four chapters that systematically examine patterns of plant functional trait variation and their implications for seedlings success.\n\nIn Chapter 1\, I outline the current understanding of the relationships between roots and mycorrhizal fungi in trees\, proposing that because roots and mycorrhizal fungi operate together\, we should examine both simultaneously to get a thorough understanding of resource acquisition strategies belowground. In Chapter 2\, I examined whether the collaboration axis exists independently of the two resource conservation axes intraspecifically within seedlings of Quercus rubra\, Acer rubrum\, A. saccharum\, and P. serotina collected across Michigan. I found that aboveground traits are independent of belowground traits\, however belowground traits aligned on a single axis\, further calling into question the functionality of the collaboration axis.\n\nIn Chapter 3\, I examined the degree to which plant functional traits of tree seedlings vary with communities of mycorrhizal fungi across a nitrogen (N) gradient. Changes in N impact the function of plants and mycorrhizal fungi alike\, though no study to date has examined both simultaneously. I collected seedlings of two different mycorrhizal types: Q. rubra (ectomycorrhizal\; EcM)\, and A. rubrum and P. serotina (arbuscular mycorrhizal\; AM). Some EcM fungi can provide access to organic N that is otherwise inaccessible to plants\, providing an advantage at low N. I found that seedlings tended to be more acquisitive belowground at higher N\, EcM access to organic N decreased with N\, and that traits not included in the collaboration axis change with mycorrhizal function\, suggesting that the proposed collaboration axis is insufficient to describe plant reliance on mycorrhizae.\n\nIn Chapter 4\, I applied the trait patterns observed within species in prior chapters to see how variation in traits affects seedling growth under multiple environmental stresses. Prior work examined responses of plants to a single stress\; yet stresses rarely occur alone. I grew seedlings of Q. rubra\, A. rubrum\, and A. saccharum in the greenhouse under three levels of water and light\, measuring their growth and functional traits. I found that growth decreased under multiple stresses less than is expected based upon the reduction in growth experienced when exposed to singular stresses. Furthermore\, different species had different trait strategies to cope with multiple stressors.

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

This method combines the strengths of deep learning with traditional numerical techniques\, specifically the finite element or spectral element methods\, to address parametric PDEs ranging from singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equations to the Navier-Stokes equations\, all without requiring paired input-output training data. Through extensive experiments on various benchmark problems\, our approach has demonstrated excellent performance across diverse settings\, showcasing its versatility in terms of accuracy\, generalization\, and computational efficiency. The proposed framework holds significant potential for applications in fields where PDEs are critical for modeling complex domains with diverse boundary conditions and singular behavior. Additionally\, we provide a rigorous theoretical convergence analysis\, grounded in numerical analysis\, to further support our approach.\n\nBio: As an Associate Professor at Seoul National University\, Youngjoon Hong focuses his research on the mathematics of machine learning and its applications in scientific computing. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics with a minor in Scientific Computing from Indiana University under the guidance of Professor Roger Temam\, where he developed a strong foundation in theoretical analysis and computational techniques. During his postdoctoral work at the University of Illinois at Chicago with Professors Jerry Bona and David Nicholls\, he conducted research on electromagnetic and water waves\, further honing his problem-solving skills. He later initiated independent studies on the use of neural networks in scientific research\, leading to a focused research program at San Diego State University\, where he began investigating neural network approximation within scientific machine learning. Currently\, his work is dedicated to developing theoretical frameworks that enhance the reliability and applicability of neural networks in addressing complex scientific and engineering challenges.

To uncover the underlying organizational principles and their functional relevance\, we take microscopy visualization as the primary approach to systematically map their spatial localization\, temporal dynamics\, and activity profiles. By combining small tags engineered from split fluorescence proteins and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing\, we have enabled the creation of the OpenCell library: > 1300 human cell lines with endogenously tagged proteins for both microscopy visualization and biochemical analysis. We have further developed the deep-learning framework to connect cellular images of proteins to their amino acid sequences.

First\, I use automated text-analysis to identify climate change frames in interest groups’ press releases (N=1\,768)\, coding frames for features believed to heighten cultural resonance. Then\, I use plagiarism-detection software to identify which messages were publicized in three major newspapers from 1985-2014. I find that policy messages from structurally-powerful interest groups such as business coalitions have received disproportionate media attention in the US climate debate. However\, organizational resources alone are not determinative of messages’ success. Political messages are also more likely to receive visibility when they leverage sources of cultural power\, such as by appealing to the latent worldviews of American audiences or their pragmatic concerns at particular historical moments. Results suggest both cultural and organizational power have shaped the perspectives given visibility in the American climate change debate\, while also describing limits on either form of power to determine media discourse.

The study is made tractable by focusing on states that are spatially homogeneous\, time-independent\, and scale invariant. Such states\, in which mode k has occupation number $n_k = k^{-\gamma}$\, are well-known in nonlinear physics (going under the name of wave turbulence). RG flow in such states is qualitatively different than in the vacuum -- a positive $\gamma$ decreases the dimension of an operator\, turning marginal interactions into relevant interactions. We compute one loop beta functions. Depending on the sign of the beta function\, backreaction may either cause a minor shift of the state in the IR\, or completely change the nature of the state. Focusing on nearly marginal interactions\, we construct an analog of the epsilon expansion and IR fixed points\, with epsilon now set by the scaling of the interaction rather than the spacetime dimension. In the language of RG flow\, critical balance scaling -- having applications in fields as varied as astrophysics and ocean waves -- corresponds to the state dynamically adjusting itself along the RG flow until the interaction becomes marginal.

How does it become an object of perception and experience\, an entity toward which value\, action\, or politics can be formulated? This talk will consider nature as both a folk concept and an analytic concept in my ethnographic research on Philippine elite formations. First\, I will explore how linguistic and semiotic anthropology have dealt with the question of nature\, outlining three areas across the literature: naturality\, naturalization\, and naturalism. Then\, I will draw on my fieldwork at a private university in the Philippines to explore how college student participants discussed becoming an elite “naturally\,” and being a “natural” elite. My participants conceived of nature as involving reinvention\, thus formulating an essence as artificial\, accomplished through will or adaptation. I argue that naturalizing elites helps naturalize the political economic systems that sustain them\, framing a world that can be regretted but not changed.\n\nAngela Reyes is Professor of English and Anthropology at the City University of New York (Hunter College and the CUNY Graduate Center).

This notion had its roots in the scholastic tradition and was well developed in the thought of Francisco Suárez. It became quite important in the early modern period\, but its significance has not been fully appreciated. In this paper I discuss a crucial early modern change in the notion of a mode and its role in related\, yet interestingly different\, arguments against thinking matter in Descartes and Leibniz.

These ancient lakes\,\nserving as natural rain gauges\, record dramatic fluctuations in water availability\, evident from shorelines carved high above modern valley floors. Despite more than a century of\ninvestigation\, the climatic drivers of these lake high stands are debated\, primarily due to disagreements over their timing. The prevailing hypothesis\, based mainly on radiocarbon-dated lake carbonates\, now holds that these lake high stands occurred early in the deglaciation\, between 18 and 15 ka\, during Heinrich Stadial 1\, an interval of rapid\nglobal warming and pronounced northern hemisphere seasonality. However\, potential biases in radiocarbon dating and calibration uncertainty leaves these age determinations\nand climatic interpretations open to question.\n\nTo address the limitations\, my collaborators and I applied the uranium-series method to date lake and groundwater carbonates from the Mono Basin in east-central California. Our results corroborate previous studies linking the high stands to Heinrich Stadial 1\, but the increased precision of our uranium-series ages refines the timing of the\nhigh stand to a narrower interval\, between 16.1 and 15.9 ka. This high-resolution chronology reveals the brevity of the wet forcing and suggests a more precise correlation\nto Heinrich Event 1—a sudden\, short-lived surge of ice and meltwater that was discharged from the Laurentide Ice Sheet into the North Atlantic about 16 ka. This\nraises the intriguing possibility that the transient but extreme climatic impact of Heinrich Event 1 may be the precise cause for the dramatic wetting that lifted western U.S. lakes to levels higher than any attained in tens of thousands of years.

In a seminal contribution dating from nearly a decade ago\, Hochman achieved substantial progress towards the celebrated exact overlaps conjecture\, establishing that the Hausdorff dimension of self-similar sets and measures on the real line matches the similarity dimension whenever the generating iterated function system satisfies exponential separation. The result was subsequently refined by Shmerkin\, who established the analogue for the full L^q-spectrum of self-similar measures and successfully applied it to settle long-standing conjectures in dynamics and fractal geometry\, most notably Furstenberg's intersection conjecture for the action of multiplicatively independent integers on the torus. In joint work with Shmerkin\, we extend the dimensional result to any ambient dimension under an additional unsaturation assumption\; as in the one-dimensional case\, our framework consists of the class of dynamically driven self-similar measures\, which allows for a unified treatment of self-similar and stochastically self-similar measures\, their projections and convolutions. The argument relies crucially on an inverse theorem for the L^q-norm of convolutions of discrete measures in Euclidean spaces\, recently established by Shmerkin\, akin in spirit to the asymmetric version of the Balog-Szemerédi-Gowers theorem due to Tao and Vu.

The article is titled\, \"Women’s Mobility as a Legal Battlefield:Gendering Armenian Property in the Late Ottoman Empire\,\" and a description is below. All are invited to attend and take part in the workshop!  We will provide free food for all attendees. The paper will be circulated one week before the workshop. \nThe transatlantic journey of Ottoman Armenians began as a temporary labor migration for men. However\, the policies of Abdülhamid II's government (1876-1909) quickly changed the nature of this mobility. In 1896\, an imperial decree permitted Armenians to emigrate to the United States if they renounced their Ottoman subjecthood and pledged not to return. When Armenian men who had migrated before 1896 faced deportation upon return\, they sought to bring their families to the U.S. This paper argues that the Hamidian government enacted complicated laws regarding the emigration of Armenian women\, reflecting a strategy aimed at seizing Armenian property and challenging American extraterritoriality. \nFor questions please reach out to Albert Cavallaro at albertca@umich.edu. \nBest\, Albert Cavallaro UID:134492-21874411@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134492 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:1014 Tisch CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250210T103555 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250411T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250411T180000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Kaffeestunde im Max Kade Haus DESCRIPTION:Kaffeestunde is a weekly opportunity to mingle and unwind \"auf Deutsch\".

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.

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:84303-21621568@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:20250412T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250412T170000 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).

Brokers play a significant role in guiding North Korean refugees across the Tumen River\, a heavily monitored border where armed guards patrol day and night.\nInspired by the story of Mrs. Kim\, a North Korean refugee who survived underwater while crossing the river\, the artist leads the audience through the exhibition space as if navigating the swirling flow of American imperialist violence in the trans-Pacific. The space becomes a fragmented landscape of memories\, witnesses\, and echoes—demanding that participants move through it with uncertainty\, urgency\, and resolve. \nAs Mrs. Kim once said\, “You either die or survive underwater.”\nTogether\, we submerge into this flow\, fumbling through the death\, pain\, and grit of those who came before us. Will we be able to connect to the flow and emerge on the other side of the land?\nThe performance will be followed by light snacks and a 15-minute Q&\;A session.\nRSVP required\; limited to 15 participants.\n \nArtist Bio\nOkyoung Noh is an interdisciplinary artist based in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, and Seoul\, South Korea. She visualizes and interrogates the impact of American imperialist violence on Asian women across the trans-Pacific. Through performance\, video\, community engagement\, and multimedia installations\, Noh creates spaces where dis/misplaced bodies connect and reclaim power\, place\, and presence. Her work has been exhibited internationally at La MaMa (New York\, NY)\, Wave Pool Gallery (Cincinnati\, OH)\, the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art (Athens\, GA)\, Tribowl (South Korea)\, Hangaram Museum (South Korea)\, CICA Museum (South Korea)\, and Seoul Artist’s Platform_New &\; Young (South Korea)\, among others.

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.

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:107870-21818090@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:20250413T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T200000 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:84303-21621569@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:20250413T181524 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250322T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Women's Tennis vs Washington DESCRIPTION:Women's Tennis vs Washington UID:134239-21874042@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134239 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Women's Tennis LOCATION:Varsity Tennis Bldg CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T120000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

At the time\, the colonial settlement of Anishinaabe homeland hardly extended beyond Detroit in what settlers called the “Michigan Territory.” Four days after the Treaty of Fort Meigs was signed\, the First College of Michigania was founded to claim the Anishinaabe land grant. Four years later\, the newly-chartered University of Michigan would claim this land. By the time the University of Michigan moved to Ann Arbor in 1837\, Anishinaabe people had been forced to cede almost all their land in what had become the state of Michigan\, now inhabited by almost 200\,000 settlers. \n \nAndrew Herscher’s recent book\, Under the Campus\, the Land (University of Michigan Press\, March\, 2025)\, narrates the University of Michigan’s place in both Anishinaabe and colonial history\, tracing the University’s participation in the colonization of Anishinaabe homeland\, Anishinaabe efforts to claim their right to an education\, and the university’s history of disavowing its responsibilities to Anishinaabe people. \n \nAndrew Herscher\, joined by Matthew Fletcher and Bethany Hughes\, will discuss the book and the questions it raises about the University of Michigan’s history and future.  \n \nFree and open to the public\, no registration required.\n UID:133893-21873675@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/133893 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250413T181525 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250323T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Softball vs Rutgers DESCRIPTION:Softball vs Rutgers UID:134247-21874048@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134247 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Softball LOCATION:Alumni Field CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250414T011502 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250413T150000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Discovery Demo: How to Become a Fossil DESCRIPTION:Explore how fossils form and what parts of animals can become fossilized.

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

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

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

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

She creates detailed graphite portraits on pink donut boxes to highlight the stories of Southeast Asians who have survived war trauma and genocide. Huynh’s serigraph prints about Donut Kids foreground intergenerational gaps as well as bridging the refugee parent and American child through the narratives of Cambodian American children who were raised by donut shop owners in California. Huynh’s most recent work of drawings of Cambodian Buddhist statue heads and photographic prints of decapitated statue bodies on fabric addresses the repatriation of looted Cambodian antiquities in the context of challenging the legacy of colonialism\, unethical museum practices\, and the refugee’s desire to return home.

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

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

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.

This can be seen in the gut microbiome’s influence on nutrient acquisition\, the production of biologically active molecules\, and the modification of steroid hormones\, as well as in reproductive microbiomes’ impacts on sperm quality\, assisted reproductive technology success\, embryo quality\, susceptibility to STIs\, and offspring health. While the majority of research into these topics is in humans\, mice\, and livestock\, investigations into wildlife species have also revealed similar patterns. However\, further research is still needed across a broader range of taxa\, particularly in species with low reproductive success that depend on consistent reproduction to be self-sustaining. Ex situ populations of cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) and clouded leopards (Neofelis nebulosa) that are part of American Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plans (AZA SSP)\, are two such populations that have poor reproduction and rely on conservation husbandry for population health and survival. Therefore\, the main goal of my dissertation is to investigate the relationship between the gut\, vaginal\, preputial\, and seminal microbiomes and reproductive phenotypes and physiology in these two threatened species\, along with their model species\, the domestic cat (Felis catus)\, in order to extend the applicability of this research to other threatened felids.

DESCRIPTION:IGCB Seminar Series: Prof Anshuman Swain\n\nEchoes in the Rock: Past Ecosystems as a Guide for Understanding Tomorrow's World\n\nEcosystems are defined by the interactions among and between the organisms and their environment. In an era of unprecedented global change\, understanding the fundamental rules governing the stability of ecosystems and their biodiversity is critical. This talk bridges deep time and the present by exploring how abiotic and biotic interactions shape biodiversity patterns. We will utilize the Cenozoic fossil record (the last 66 My)\, and in specific\, the marine micropaleontological data and terrestrial plant-insect associations to track community responses to long-term climate shifts and environment perturbations. By integrating paleontological data with ecological informatics\, this talk aims to uncover how past patterns of environment-driven change can provide crucial insights for anticipating and addressing the impacts of future global change scenarios.

However\, significant research and development is required to address the fundamental challenge that muons are unstable\, and will decay continuously while moving through an accelerator complex. In addition\, any detector will see a very large beam-induced background (BIB) from the decay of muons in the colliding beams. In this talk\, I will introduce and motivate the concept of a muon collider\, discuss some of the broader challenges\, and then present MAIA (Muon Accelerator Instrumented Apparatus)\, a proposed detector design for a 10 TeV muon collider.

The arithmetic modularity conjecture states that Kudla's generating series defines a holomorphic automorphic form valued in the Chow group of the unitary Shimura variety. We also discuss known progress towards this conjecture. We next define the arithmetic Chow group\, a refinement of the usual Chow group of an algebraic variety defined by Gillet-Soule in the spirit of Arakelov theory\, which will be useful for defining further refinements of Kudla's conjecture.

Byrd DESCRIPTION:Dr. DeAnnah R. Byrd will present \"Risk Factors\, Protective Pathways\, and Lifespan Perspectives of Cognition in Black Americans\,\" discussing health disparities research across the life course\, making between-group and within-group comparisons\, and charting the effects of risk and protective factors on memory and cognitive changes in older Black/African Americans. \n\nDr. DeAnnah Byrd is an Assistant Professor at Arizona State University (ASU) in Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation. And is a Faculty Affiliate of the Center for Innovation and Healthy and Resilient Aging (CHIRA) at ASU and an Associate at the Michigan Center for Urban African American Aging Research at the University of Michigan. Dr. Byrd received her PhD in Community Health Sciences from UCLA’s Fielding School of Public Health in 2017. Her early work formed the basis of her current research program\, which examines the effects of risk (chronic conditions\, biological and psychosocial stressors) and protective (coping and social support) factors on memory and cognitive changes in older African Americans. Dr. Byrd is committed to help improve cognitive outcomes. Her work has been funded by the National Institute on Aging\, the Alzheimer's Association\, and the Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Center. She has received multiple awards\, and her work is recognized both nationally and internationally. \n\nBriana Mezuk hosts.\n\nThe Winter 2025 RCGD Seminar Series features speakers invited and hosted by faculty affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics. These multidisciplinary talks will cover a variety of topics in social science\, including social cognition\, structural racism\, romantic relationships\, and cognitive health. Check the schedule for updates to this series that will convene on select Mondays at 3:30 at the Institute for Social Research.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.

Unlike function field analogs which is more topological (via \ell not = p sheaves)\, the real story over number fields and their local fields is more analytic involving \ell = p cycles and (g\,K)-cohomology\, which needs to be further developed.\n\nIn this talk\, I will firstly give my (naive) understandings of these programs and examples. For central / non-central L-values and p-adic L-functions\, in general we must use non-reductive type period integrals and cycles\, e.g. L-functions for GLn x GLm. Then I will give some arithmetic analogs\, constructions of non-reductive cycles and applications\, e.g. a proof of twisted AFL for GL_n. I use two observations: pullback of non-algebraic cycles could be algebraic and useful\; raising “the categorical level\" by one and applying extra symmetry (e.g. global modularity) is really useful.\n\nTime permitting\, I will discuss more aspects of non-reductive cycles (ramifications / archimedes / algebraicity..)\, based on what we learn from function field analogs (after the work of Ben-Zvi-Sakellaridis-Venkatesh). I will also present a conjecture on Albanese of projective U(n-1\,1)-Shimura varieties.

Foreign Assistance\, US National Security\, and the Case for Human Rights DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\n\nThis event will offer a timely and thought-provoking discussion on the implications of the suspension of U.S. foreign assistance\, with a particular focus on the nation’s role in supporting international human rights\, democracy\, and the rule of law. In light of recent decisions to terminate grants deemed not to serve core national interests\, we will explore why the U.S. has supported human rights and democracy efforts as a fundamental aspect of its foreign policy since the Carter Administration. What has changed in the U.S. perspective since then? We will also examine the Biden Administration's stance on expanding support in this area and ask: Is there a compelling case to be made that international protections for rights and the rule of law ultimately benefit the U.S.? Join us for a deep dive into these pressing questions shaping the future of U.S. foreign policy.\n\nFrom the Speaker’s Bio:\n\nBama Athreya\, Ph.D\, most recently served as Deputy Assistant Administrator in USAID’s Bureau for Inclusive Growth\, Partnerships and Innovation\, where she managed global portfolios related to gender equality\, child protection\, youth in development\, and ensuring the rights and inclusion of marginalized and underrepresented populations.

Plabic Graphs are finer combinatorial objects than Grassmann necklaces that not only index positroids but also parametrize points in positroids\, through the boundary measurement map. Given a reduced plabic graph\, we can assign target face labels to each face\, and the boundary face labels give us the corresponding Grassmann necklace\, which tells us the non-vanishing pluckers in the positroid. It is known that the face label pluckers give a cluster in the cluster structure on the Grassmannian. A natural question is\, what can the internal face labels tell us geometrically? It is not generally true that these are the non-vanishing pluckers in the image of the boundary measurement map for positroids over the complex numbers. In this talk\, we introduce the twist map\, constructed by Muller-Speyer\, which are automorphisms of the positroid variety\, taking the image of the boundary measurement map to a torus defined by the non-vanishing of face label pluckers.

Are they limited to what they see\, or can they think beyond the here and now? This talk will discuss how children's reasoning about hidden\, invisible\, and abstract entities provides a unique and valuable window into the human mind.

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.

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:107870-21818091@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:20250218T124719 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250415T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250415T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Climate Anxiety: Equity & Action in Lab and Clinical Spaces DESCRIPTION:At U-M\, labs and clinical spaces account for 59% of energy use and 63% of emissions. Labs can also produce an estimated 5.5 million tons of plastic waste per year (~2% of all plastic waste produced globally). This means there are big upsides in making your lab and clinical spaces more sustainable!\n\nWe will begin by talking about the impacts of labs and clinical spaces\, particularly surrounding environmental justice concerns with procurement and usage. Ever worried about those pesky nitrile gloves - we’ll be talking about those and even more. Often these are difficult and complex conversations so we will transition into discussing climate anxiety and action. People often associate climate anxiety as being an affluent and white concern\, but the reality is that historically marginalized communities are impacted disproportionately by climate change and do experience climate anxiety. How might we take care of ourselves and our communities? Well\, with nature! Nature is an impactful\, mostly accessible\, and free healthcare intervention. We’ll dive into this and then experience some green time in the beautiful CVC Atrium.

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:84303-21621570@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:20250219T145025 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250415T112000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250415T125000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Ideas Rents and Firm Growth with Timo Boppart\, Peter Klenow and Reiko Laski DESCRIPTION:Which firms drive aggregate growth? Price-earnings ratios differ markedly and persistently across publicly-listed firms. Large differences remain after netting out the impact of proxies for firm-specific discount factors\, and are highly correlated with actual and analyst forecasts of future earnings growth. The implication is that listed firms deviate from Gibrat’s Law\, under which expected growth rates are purported to be the same across firms. We find further that fast-growing firms are expected to see increases in their earnings relative to sales\, which we interpret as rents from ideas. We construct an endogenous growth model with persistence shocks to firm innovation step-sizes and calibrate it to match patterns in the data. The model implies that the fastest-growing firms – so-called Luttmer Rockets – are responsible for a much bigger share of aggregate growth than predicted under Gibrat’s Law.

For this\, I use two different species of wood-inhabiting fungi that produce fruiting bodies having a poroid hymenophore (porous spore producing layer on the underside of the mushroom)\, commonly referred to as polypores. Polypores\, which form a polyphyletic group within Basidiomycota\, are unique in harboring species that produce annual and perennial hardy\, poroid fruiting bodies which can remain exposed to the external environment and maintain functionality for long periods of time. Unlike the fruiting bodies of a majority of macrofungal species\, given the persistence of certain polypore fruiting bodies on their wood-substrate over extended time periods\, species within Polyporaceae are suitable for investigating the evolution of life history traits and adaptation in macrofungi. My PhD project will focus on two established traits- colour polymorphism and longevity\; and will further use population genetics to identify traits that may be important for local adaptation. The first two chapters will be focussing on Trametes versicolor (aka Turkey Tail) which is a highly colour polymorphic\, globally distributed\, hardwood decay fungus found growing on a wide range of hardwood species. Using T. versicolor\, I firstly aim to uncover if colour polymorphism in the species is linked to the wood species it grows on or if it is a heritable trait\; and secondly\, aim to determine whether it has population structuring across its geographic distribution\, and local adaptation to each habitat of occurrence. In my third chapter\, I propose to use Ganoderma applanatum (aka Artist’s conk) which has a perennial fruiting body that remains functional and fertile for several years to investigate senescence and the evolution of this alternate life history strategy.

Privacy concerns often prohibit direct data sharing across sites\, while distributional heterogeneity complicates accurate modeling and inference. Moreover\, high-dimensional data and model selection procedures necessitate statistical methods for valid inference post-selection. This dissertation addresses these challenges by developing methodologies in distributed statistical learning\, inference with heterogeneous data\, and selective inference.\n\nIn the first part of the dissertation\, we propose a novel one-shot distributed learning algorithm via refitting bootstrap samples. We demonstrate that the proposed estimator achieves full-sample statistical rates with only one round of communication of subsample-based statistics in generalized linear models and noisy phase retrieval. We further extend this approach to an iterative algorithm and apply it to convolutional neural networks (CNNs)\, which exhibits superior performances over existing methods in simulation studies.\n\nIn the second part of the dissertation\, we develop a novel one-shot distributed learning algorithm to address cross-site heterogeneity. The proposed method effectively accommodates heterogeneity by allowing nuisance parameters to vary across sites. We show that the proposed estimator attains the full-sample statistical error rate and efficiency with only a single round of communication of local estimators. Our simulation studies support these theoretical findings.\n\nIn the third part of the dissertation\, we introduce an asymptotic pivot to infer about the effects of selected variables on conditional quantile functions. Utilizing estimators from smoothed quantile regression\, our proposed pivot is easy to compute and yields asymptotically-exact selective inference without making strict distributional assumptions about the response variable. By employing external randomization\, our approach fully utilizes the data for both selection and inference\, outperforming traditional methods like data splitting by consistently delivering shorter and more reliable confidence intervals. Simulation studies and an empirical application analyzing risk factors for low birth weight validate the practical efficacy of our method.

The system addresses the critical safety and mobility challenges posed by winter conditions through a VLM capable of interpreting complex visual scenes and natural language instructions to generate personalized control strategies. The framework incorporates a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) memory module that enables continuous adaptation to individual preferences through human feedback. Real-world experiments conducted on professional test tracks demonstrate that our approach reduces takeover rates by up to 76.9% compared to baseline systems\, particularly when processing indirect user instructions. The system successfully interprets diverse winter driving scenarios\, maintaining high safety standards while adapting control parameters to both environmental conditions and user preferences. A comprehensive benchmark dataset\, focused specifically on winter driving conditions\, provides a foundation for future CAV development in extreme weather. This work represents a significant step in autonomous vehicle technology for winter operations and builds a framework for safer\, more reliable transportation systems in extreme weather conditions in the Midwest.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Ziran Wang is a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University.

To do so\, these microbes invest lots of energy into creating powerful arsenals of enzymes. These microbes are now challenged globally with novel recalcitrant polymers known collectively as plastic. Studies have found that there is little to no correlation of plastic degrading enzymes and the amount of plastic in the environment- leading to the conclusion that in general\, microbes are not evolving to specialize on plastic degradation. However there is yet to be a satisfactory explanation as to why environmental degradation is so limited.\n\nWhile many microbial enzymes have been tested or hypothesized to degrade plastic\, research on plastic biodegradation has primarily focused on one species at a time\, and very few have been proven to work with polyethylene\, the most widely used and hardest to degrade plastic. My dissertation will focus on characterizing microbial metabolisms of PE and its degradation products\, and using these characteristics to predict the ecological relationship between members of a small modular community. This research will connect microbial metabolisms and ecology to investigate why environmental degradation is limited\, and how metabolisms impact the function of plastic degrading synthetic consortia.

These techniques\, namely magneto-scanning near-field optical microscopy (m-SNOM) and BOlometric Superconducting Optical Nanoscopy (BOSON)\, can dramatically expand our ability to probe quantum materials at the nanoscale. Using m-SNOM\, we demonstrate Landau-level nanoscopy that directly visualizes Landau quantization and magneto-polariton formation. A waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED) framework reveals spatially resolved hybridization between magnetic excitations and phonon polaritons\, yielding universal scaling behaviors and design principles for cavity metastructures with tunable light–matter coupling. With BOSON\, we integrate superconducting transition-edge sensors with near-field optics to achieve ultra-sensitive detection of nano-light at nanowatt power levels. This platform enables nanoscale imaging of Cooper pair dynamics and confined bosonic modes in low-dimensional systems\, offering a new pathway toward quantum-limited spectroscopy and single-polariton detection. I will conclude by discussing future directions\, including the integration of these techniques for exploring THz quantum optics\, polaritonic circuitry\, and strongly correlated quantum phases in complex materials. \n\nMengkun Liu (Ph.D. 2012 Boston University) is a professor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Stony Brook University (since Jan. 2015).

Yet\, establishing the causality of these social influences and the mechanisms by which they act has been challenging. Among wild animals\, uncontrollable genetic and environmental variation frustrates causal conclusions. And lab environments are unable to replicate the dynamic\, complex social behaviors of natural populations. In this talk\, I describe a solution to this problem: studying genetically identical laboratory mice in controlled\, naturalistic outdoor enclosures. In such environments\, mice navigate complex\, dynamic physical and social environments that better match those that they evolved to exploit. I will describe work in which I have established the impact of social competition and luck on the development of individuality\, causal links between social status and behavior and fitness outcomes in males\, and the causal impact of social status on molecular physiology. The combination of behavioral ecological methods and theory with the scientific power of the lab mouse has opened up exciting new doors to answer questions that have been previously unanswerable either in the lab or in wild populations.

While the stability allows helices to serve as rigid scaffolds within structured RNAs\, it also creates significant energetic barriers to rearrangement\, necessitating RNA helicases as chaperones in RNA folding and remodeling. At the same time\, the high specificity of Watson-Crick base pairing enables RNA-guided mechanisms\, exemplified by CRISPR-Cas enzymes that leverage this specificity for DNA targeting. This talk will explore how these core biophysical properties have shaped RNA’s biological roles\, driven evolution of protein families\, and enabled modern genome-editing tools.

Both are treated variationally\, both deal with energies of different dimensionalities\, concepts of geometric measure theory prevail in both\, and higher order penalizations are considered. Will learning training schemes for choosing these penalizations in imaging may be of use in phase transitions?\n\nPhase Separation in Heterogeneous Media: Modern technologies and biological systems\, such as temperature-responsive polymers and lipid rafts\, take advantage of engineered inclusions\, or natural heterogeneities of the medium\, to obtain novel composite materials with specific physical properties. To model such situations using a variational approach based on the gradient theory of phase transitions\, the potential and the wells may have to depend on the spatial position\, even in a discontinuous way\, and different regimes should be considered.\n\nIn the critical case where the scale of the small heterogeneities is of the same order of the scale governing the phase transition and the wells are fixed\, the interaction between homogenization and the phase transitions process leads to an anisotropic interfacial energy. The supercritical case for fixed wells is also addressed\, now leading to an isotropic interfacial energy. In the subcritical case with moving wells\, where the heterogeneities of the material are of a larger scale than that of the diffuse interface between different phases\, it is observed that there is no macroscopic phase separation and that thermal fluctuations play a role in the formation of nanodomains.\n\nLearning Training Schemes for Image Denoising: Due to their ability to handle discontinuous images while having a well-understood behavior\, regularizations with total variation (TV) and total generalized variation (TGV) are some of the best known methods in image denoising. However\, like other variational models including a fidelity term\, they crucially depend on the choice of their tuning parameters. A remedy is to choose these automatically through multilevel approaches\, for example by optimizing performance on noisy/clean image training pairs. Such methods with space-dependent parameters which are piecewise constant on dyadic grids are considered\, with the grid itself being part of the minimization. Existence of minimizers for discontinuous parameters is established\, and it is shown that box constraints for the values of the parameters lead to existence of finite optimal partitions. Improved performance on some representative test images when compared with constant optimized parameters is demonstrated.

Formerly most well known as the frontman of Super Furry Animals – a band that has been able to achieve that rarest of mixes\, artistic adventure with popular devotion – he blended fuzz-filed rock\, pure harmonies and cutting edge electronics\, while with his other band\, Neon Neon\, Rhys has documented the lives of maverick car maker John DeLorean and Italian activist and publisher Giangiacomo Feltrinelli in widescreen style. \n\nWith their blissful melodies\, his solo records have explored untapped areas lyrically too. His first\, 2005's Yr Atal Genhedlaeth\, revelled in Welsh puns\; 2014’s American Interior celebrated the unlikely yet influential 18th century explorer John Evans\; Babelsberg offered a baroque take on the modern world in 2018\; while a year later Pang! created a multi-lingual mash-up\, driven by folkish bleeps crafted in collaboration with South African artist-producer Muzi.\n\nHowever\, while all those records certainly explored fresh territory\, the Top Ten charting Seeking New Gods climbed lyrically and musically on to totally new terrain - for his seventh solo record Gruff Rhys created a conceptual record about his own mountain and became his most critically and commercially successful solo album yet. 2024 saw the release of it’s follow up\, ‘Sadness Sets Me Free’ garnering rave reviews and acclaimed to be amongst his finest work.

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.

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.

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:84303-21621571@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:20250416T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250416T170000 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).

Clements Library is pleased to announce a forthcoming exhibition in recognition of the 250th Anniversary of the military hostilities that began the American Revolutionary War. The Battles of Lexington and Concord are firmly established in American memory as the culmination of a range of governmental\, political\, economic\, and social tensions that amplified in the decade leading up to 1775. In this exhibit\, visitors will have the opportunity to see original historical manuscript letters\, documents\, newspapers\, and artwork that reveal aspects of the bloody work of Empire and individual alike in April 1775.\n\nAmong the items on display will be Commander in Chief of the British Army\, General Thomas Gage's draft orders for the Concord Expedition\, April 18\, 1775\; a bundle of letters collected by former Sons of Liberty supporter Dr. Benjamin Church\, which he secretly turned over to British Army intelligence\; letters by Silas Deane\, John Hancock\, and Rachel Revere\; and much more.\n\nOpen weekdays from 12-4 pm.

Women’s Forgotten Revolution: Communism and the Struggle for Emancipation in Post-war Poland DESCRIPTION:This lecture will analyze female participation in shaping the socialist modernization of post-World War II Poland and women's emancipation through education and culture. Competent and dedicated female politicians and civil servants (e.g.\, Żanna Kormanowa\, Zofia Dembińska\, Eugenia Krassowska) steered the reform of the Polish educational system immediately after the Second World War and during the Stalinist period\, creating a project for a school that was supposed to be egalitarian in terms of class and gender. At the same time\, editors of magazines and publishing houses (e.g.\, Anna Lanota\, Halina Koszutska)\, writers (e.g.\, Wanda Żółkiewska\, Janina Dziarnowska\, Helena Bobińska)\, and film directors\, scriptwriters\, and pedagogical advisors to Polish television (e.g.\, Wilhelmina Skulska\, Elżbieta Jackiewiczowa) were committed to shaping the image of the new Polish woman: well-educated and professionally active. The role of these “architects of communist Poland” diminished with de-Stalinization\, but many of them continued their work\, such as representing Poland in international institutions including the UN Commission on the Status of Women and UNESCO. Mrozik will address the absence of post-war leftist women's activism in current historiography in Poland and will discuss recent developments in the field.\n \n Agnieszka Mrozik is a Senior Dianne Widzinski Visiting Fellow at the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies (CCPS) at U-M. She is an associate professor of literary studies at the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences. She is affiliated with two research units—the Center for Cultural and Literary Studies of Communism and the Women’s Archive. She was a fellow of the Imre Kertész Kolleg in Jena (2017)\, the Institute for Advanced Study at CEU (2018/19)\, and the DAAD program at the University of Hamburg (2019). She was also recently a guest professor at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder) (2023/24). Mrozik is the author of *Architektki PRL-u: Komunistki\, literatura i emancypacja kobiet w powojennej Polsce* [*Female Architects of the Polish People’s Republic: Communist Women\, Literature\, and Women’s Emancipation in Postwar Poland*] (Wydawnictwo IBL PAN\, 2022) and *Akuszerki transformacji: Kobiety\, literatura i władza w Polsce po 1989 roku* [*Midwives of the Transformation: Women\, Literature\, and Power in Post-1989 Poland*] (Wydawnictwo IBL PAN\, 2012). She has co-authored and co-edited several collective volumes\, including *Reassessing Communism: Concepts\, Culture\, and Society in Poland\, 1944–1989* (CEU Press\, 2021).\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

To do this\, we estimate several choice models on data only from control markets before turning to the treatment data for model validation. This exercise reveals that a model where school choice is constrained by ability-to-pay achieves better out-of-sample fit but still underpredicts experimental take-up of the voucher offer. We then present evidence from treatment markets that: a) the voucher offer also induced search\; and b) private schools used program surplus to incentivize enrollment. Further\, we show that a unified model incorporating these features can explain both the control and treatment data patterns. Estimates from that model imply that a targeted voucher program would have a marginal value of public funds(MVPF) of at least 3.

In this work\, we use the same idea to study subsets of words of length n\,\nthat are not necessarily permutations\, for example: especially when they are certain classes of restricted\ngrowth functions induced by set partitions in standard form over [n] = {1\, 2 · · · n}. Varying n only\, and\nalso varying n and k (the number of blocks of the set partitions) simultaneously\, we can show that those\nposets form a projective system of trees and lattices. These poset structures can be extended over signed\nrestricted growth functions for standard type B set partitions over 〈n〉 = {−1\, −2\, · · · n\, 0\, 1\, 2 · · · n} as\nwell. We investigate properties of the tree and lattice structures of these projective systems.

This may be in part due to the expense of the apparatus needed and in part because we work in a target-rich environment with many viewpoints and a large periodic table. I purchased a Walker type synthetic system about 30 years ago that\, in recent years especially\, has been worth the trouble it takes to use it. The pressure is relatively low in such systems compared to what one gets in a diamond cell\, but the sample volumes are much larger. The system was purchased from a small company called Rockland Research\, run by Peter McNutt\, who\, if I understand correctly\, was one of the former group members of David Walker himself. Our Depths of the Earth system\, although nominally easier to use\, is in fact not easier to prepare samples for\, and might be the only thing in my lab that I ever discarded out of frustration.\n\nSeveral postdoctoral fellows and graduate students have succeeded in finding new materials in our system or modifying it\, but the major successes in recent years has been due to the patience and synthetic skill of my former postdoctoral fellow now lab manager Danrui Ni. Many new materials\, including oxides chalcogenides and halides have been found in our system\, and it is my intention to describe enough of our work in the latter two categories of materials to give interested audience members ideas about what works at applied pressures up to 6 GPa and what doesn’t.

Spar Politics and Culture in the Muslim World Series. Book Launch: *The Revolution Within: Islamic Media and the Struggle for a New Egypt* DESCRIPTION:Book Launch: *The Revolution Within: Islamic Media and the Struggle for a New Egypt *by Dr. Yasmin Moll\n \n RSVP: http://bit.ly/RevolutionWithin416\n Wednesday\, April 16\, 4:00 PM ET\n CupsnChai Ann Arbor\n 214 S 4th Ave\n \n Join the Global Islamic Studies Center at CupsnChai Ann Arbor on Wednesday\, April 16\, at 4pm for the book launch of Professor Yasmin Moll's new book\, *The Revolution Within: Islamic Media and the Struggle for a New Egypt*. This event will be moderated by Professor Andrew Shryock\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. Free chai & snacks will be provided!\n \nAbout the book:\nThe New Preachers of Egypt—so named because of their novel preaching styles\, which incorporate everything from melodrama to music to self-help—came to prominence on the world's first Islamic television channel on the cusp of the Arab Spring uprisings. They promoted an innovative and inclusive Islamic piety that millions of young middle-class viewers found radical and compelling—but were scorned as neoliberal by leftists\, as stealth Islamists by secularists\, and as too Westernized by other Muslim preachers.\n \n Drawing on long-term fieldwork with the New Preachers\, their producers\, and followers in Cairo\, Yasmin Moll shows how Islamic media and the social life of theology mattered to contestations over the shape of a New Egypt. These mass-mediated fractures within Islamic Revivalism were happening at a time of both revolutionary possibility and authoritarian entrenchment. The New Preachers' Islamic media inspired a \"revolution within\" that transcended the country's divisions and anticipated the ethos of creativity\, solidarity\, and coexistence that soon would mark Tahrir Square\, the ethical epicenter of the 2011 uprising. Vividly written and boldly theorized\, The Revolution Within challenges conventional accounts of the 2011 revolution and its aftermath as a struggle between secular and religious forces\, reconsidering what makes a practice virtuous\, a public Islamic\, a way of life Godly.\n \n \n \n About the author:\n \n Yasmin Moll is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan in the Department of Anthropology. Her new book\, *The Revolution Within: Islamic Media and the Struggle for a New Egypt*\, is out with Stanford University Press in the series Studies in Islamic and Middle Eastern Societies and Cultures. Moll is an ethnographic filmmaker and a former member of the Michigan Society of Fellows (2014-2017).\n \n About the moderator:\n \n Andrew Shryock is Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan.

While the optimal Bellman equation (optimal-BE) enables model-free algorithms\, its discretization error is significant when the reward function oscillates. Conversely\, model-based PDE approaches offer better accuracy but suffer from non-identifiable inverse problems. \nTo bridge this gap\, we introduce Optimal-PhiBE\, an equation that integrates discrete-time information into a PDE\, combining the strengths of both RL and PDE formulations. Compared to the RL formulation\, Optimal-PhiBE is less sensitive to reward oscillations\, leading to smaller discretization errors. In linear-quadratic control\, Optimal-PhiBE can even achieve accurate continuous-time optimal policy with only discrete-time information. Compared to the PDE formulation\, it skips the identification of the dynamics and enables model-free algorithm derivation. Furthermore\, we extend Optimal-PhiBE to higher orders\, providing increasingly accurate approximations.

Though scallops can swim in the ocean by opening and closing their valves\, the scallop theorem shows that this swimming mechanism would be ineffective in highly viscous conditions. In this regime\, the Navier-Stokes equations linearize to give the Stokes equations. Since the Stokes equations are time-reversible\, microorganisms have developed hair-like structures known as cilia in order to generate propulsion by breaking time-reversal symmetry. The squirmer model uses a slip velocity defined on the microswimmer surface to mimic the effect of beating cilia. There has been previous work on spherical and axisymmetric squirmers\, but nature is not necessarily axisymmetric – thus\, we explore microswimmers of arbitrary shape. We propose a framework for expressing the slip velocity on an arbitrary surface in terms of tangential basis functions. Using the reciprocal theorem\, given a time-independent slip profile\, we can determine the rigid body velocities and the resulting swimming trajectory for an isolated microswimmer suspended in free space.\n\n\nAt much larger length scales\, flexible swimming sheets can be used to transport solar panels on water and can even model ice sheets on the ocean. In this regime\, the inviscid Euler equations hold. Unlike the Stokes equations\, the Euler equations are nonlinear and time-dependent. However\, the boundary integral techniques that are commonly used in Stokes flow can also be used in this context to track the motion of the water-air interface. We will showcase preliminary results in which we test our numerical methods on linear and nonlinear water waves in the absence of a sheet. We will then discuss how the slithering motion of snakes can help us model the elastic sheets.

Their formation and assembly patterns play a central role in nanotechnology\, and in particular in the optoelectronic properties of semiconductors. Changing the dots' size and shape gives rise to many applications that permeate our daily lives\, such as the new Samsung QLED TV monitor that uses quantum dots to turn \"light into perfect color\"! \n\nQuantum dots are obtained via the deposition of a crystalline overlayer (epitaxial film) on a crystalline substrate. When the thickness of the film reaches a critical value\, the profile of the film becomes corrugated and islands (quantum dots) form. As the creation of quantum dots evolves with time\, materials defects appear. Their modelling is of great interest in materials science since material properties\, including rigidity and conductivity\, can be strongly influenced by the presence of defects such as dislocations. \n\nIn this talk\, we will use methods from the calculus of variations and partial differential equations to model and mathematically analyze the onset of quantum dots\, the regularity and evolution of their shapes\, and the nucleation and motion of dislocations. Further\, using the $H^{-1}$-gradient flow structure of the evolution law\, short-time existence for a surface diffusion evolution equation with curvature regularization is established in the context of epitaxially strained two-dimensional films. The main novelty\, as compared to the study of the wetting regime\, is the presence of moving contact lines.

Winner of the Independent Music Award for his triple live album \"Encore\"\, voted Best World Music Guitarist by Guitar Player Magazine reader’s Poll\, winner of the Rose d’Or at the Montreux Festival for his debut album\, Pierre is recognized as one of the greatest guitar players of the 21st century.\n\nWhen Michael Hedges titles one of his compositions “Bensusan”\, you know that the inspiration behind it must be special and Pierre Bensusan certainly is. Guitarists from Leo Kottke to Larry Corryel\, to Tuck Andress\, Tommy Emmanuel\, Mark Knopfler\, Andrew York\, Andy Timmons\, to Steve Lukather… have sung his praises\, and Steve Vai released three Bensusan albums on his label Favored Nations. And it's not just guitarists who are so inspired by Pierre's music\, as a recent studio collaboration with him on Donny Osmond’s latest album “Start Again” goes to show.\n\nIf World Music means the fusion of traditional\, contemporary\, jazz\, classical and pop music\, then Bensusan is one of the most eloquent World Music musicians of our time. A pianist in his beginnings then self-taught on the guitar\, the originality of his style makes him one of today’s greatest guitarists and composers for the instrument. \n\nBorn in French Algeria\, Pierre Bensusan is an adventurer of unusual lands. His almost “sacred” music is an intimate and orchestral hymn\, a solo crossing on a multi-shell Lowden guitar subjected to the natural elements with sound molecules and finger pulp on an ebony fingerboard for open tuning - an unique and transparent technique\, under the fingers of an adventurous pilgrim.
