SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

SUMMARY:Performance:Okyoung Noh: Cross the Flow of Violence
DESCRIPTION:\"Dare to cross the flow of violence—with a broker as your guide.\"\nThis 40-minute interactive performance is led by the artist in the role of a “broker”—a figure who helps the perilous escape from North Korea to China for a price. 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&amp\;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 &amp\; Young (South Korea)\, among others. Her videos have been recognized and featured in the Every Woman Biennial (New York\, NY)\, Indie Short Fest (Los Angeles\, CA)\, the Toronto International Women Film Festival (Canada)\, the Oakland Short Film Festival (Oakland\, CA)\, and the Freep Film Festival (Detroit\, MI)\, among others. Noh has been nominated for artist residencies at the Seoul Museum of Art and MASS MoCA\, where she will be an artist-in-residence in 2025.\nLearn more about the artist: www.oknoh.com

It presents new\, feature-length comedies\, dramas\, documentaries and even short and animated films. They all share iconic Italian locations and language that resonate with audiences worldwide\, and offers an opportunity to discover a new wave of young Italian film artists without hopping on a plane.\n\nFor the complete festival schedule visit italianfilmfests.org.\nThe Italian Film Festival USA is presented under the auspices of the Consulate of Italy in Detroit. \n\n*Screenings:*\n\nSaturday\, April 12\, 5:00 pm - Rackham Amphiteatre\n*A Dark Story* (Una storia nera) by Leonardo D’Agostini\nItaly\, 2024 - 100 min.\nin Italian with English subtitles\n\nVito and Carla have been separated for a long time. They have three children together and loved each other desperately before hatred took the place of love. Now Vito has a new life and Carla has a new partner: everyone feels as if tragedy has been averted and destiny is on their side. At least\, until that day--that evening--when Vito disappears without a trace. His disappearance sets in motion an investigation of everyone's past. But\, in cases like this\, does a single\, irrefutable truth really exist?\nFrom the novel of the same title by Antonella Lattanzi\nhttps://youtu.be/WJlzZzSbmn8 \n\n---\n\nSaturday\, April 12\, 7:30 pm - Rackham Amphiteatre\n*My Place Is Here* (Il mio posto è qui) by Cristiano Bortone and Daniela Porto\nItaly\, 2024 - 110 min.\nin Italian with English subtitles\n\nCalabria\, 1940. Marta and Michele are in love. But Michele does not return from the war and Marta\, who became pregnant before he left\, gives birth to little Michelangelo. To save the family's honor\, her father promises her in marriage to Gino\, a man she doesn't love\, an older widower with two children.\nDuring the preparations\, Marta meets Lorenzo\, the parish priest's assistant\, known in the village as \"the wedding man\,” for his refined taste used to help brides plan their big day. Despite initial reticence\, a deep friendship soon develops between the two\, and Marta begins to imagine a different world in which she can live with freedom and dignity.\nFrom the novel of the same title by Daniela Porto.\nhttps://youtu.be/5a5ZG2G3igM\n\n—\n\nSunday\, April 13\, 4:00 pm - Rackham Amphiteatre\n*Liliana* by Ruggero Gabbai\nItaly\, 2024 - 97 min.\nin Italian with English subtitles\n\nLiliana is a documentary that gathers Senator-for-life Liliana Segre's testimony of her arrest\, deportation\, and poignant final farewell to her father.

It presents new\, feature-length comedies\, dramas\, documentaries and even short and animated films. They all share iconic Italian locations and language that resonate with audiences worldwide\, and offers an opportunity to discover a new wave of young Italian film artists without hopping on a plane.\n\nFor the complete festival schedule visit italianfilmfests.org.\nThe Italian Film Festival USA is presented under the auspices of the Consulate of Italy in Detroit. \n\n*Screenings:*\n\nSaturday\, April 12\, 5:00 pm - Rackham Amphiteatre\n*A Dark Story* (Una storia nera) by Leonardo D’Agostini\nItaly\, 2024 - 100 min.\nin Italian with English subtitles\n\nVito and Carla have been separated for a long time. They have three children together and loved each other desperately before hatred took the place of love. Now Vito has a new life and Carla has a new partner: everyone feels as if tragedy has been averted and destiny is on their side. At least\, until that day--that evening--when Vito disappears without a trace. His disappearance sets in motion an investigation of everyone's past. But\, in cases like this\, does a single\, irrefutable truth really exist?\nFrom the novel of the same title by Antonella Lattanzi\nhttps://youtu.be/WJlzZzSbmn8 \n\n---\n\nSaturday\, April 12\, 7:30 pm - Rackham Amphiteatre\n*My Place Is Here* (Il mio posto è qui) by Cristiano Bortone and Daniela Porto\nItaly\, 2024 - 110 min.\nin Italian with English subtitles\n\nCalabria\, 1940.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reading and Conversation: “Under the Campus\, the Land”
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation on Anishinaabe Futuring\, Colonial Non-Memory and the Origin of the University of Michigan.\n \nIn the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs\, Anishinaabe leaders granted land to a college where their children could be educated. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Prelim Seminar Series - The purr-suit of reproduction: connecting microbiomes and reproductive health in Felids
DESCRIPTION:Summary: The communities of microbes that inhabit the gut and reproductive tract\, known as the gut and reproductive microbiomes\, show a symbiotic relationship that influences host physiology and reproductive outcomes. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IGCB Seminar: Prof Anshuman Swain.
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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | The MAIA Detector for a 10 TeV Muon Collider
DESCRIPTION:Muon colliders have recently emerged as an exciting option to access the 10 TeV energy scale. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG: Arithmetic Modularity and Arithmetic Chow Groups
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: We study the analogue of Kudla-Millson's work in the arithmetic setting. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Seminar Series: DeAnnah R. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Non-reductive cycles and L-functions in arithmetic geometry
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: There are many fundamental conjectures and programs around L-functions\, algebraic cycles and Galois actions on algebraic solutions of polynomial equations\, e.g. Langlands and Kudla program. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The End of US Global Leadership? 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.  She has been a senior leader in the public and nonprofit sectors. She has led interagency and multilateral engagement and represented the US government in delegations to the UN General Assembly\, Commission on the Status of Women\, G20 and COP28. She previously held an Economic Inequality Fellowship with Open Society Foundations focused on the digital economy and served as a senior advisor for gender\, equity and inclusion to Laudes Foundation.  Past positions include a previous stint at USAID’s Center for Democracy\, Rights and Governance\, where she worked on new policy guidance and developed global programming to advance labor rights and women’s economic empowerment.  She also spent several years leading human rights advocacy as the Executive Director of the International Labor Rights Forum. She has a longstanding affiliation with the University of Michigan. She has previously served on the Board of Advisors for the Erb Institute\, taught short courses as a visitor at Ford School\, and completed her. Ph.D. in cultural anthropology at the Rackham Graduate School.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Twist for Positroids
DESCRIPTION:Grassmann necklaces describe combinatorially the stratification of the Grassmannian into positroid varieties. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Exploring the Mind - What Children Can Teach Us About the Human Mind
DESCRIPTION:How do young children make sense of the world? 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. Indeed\, our early capacity to look beyond the obvious underlies humanity's greatest strengths\, such as our search for knowledge and meaning\, as well as our gravest challenges\, such as prejudice and social inequities.\n\nAbout the speaker: Susan Gelman is the Heinz Werner Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Linguistics at the University of Michigan. She received her B.A. in Psychology and Classical Greek from Oberlin College and her Ph.D. from Stanford University. She is a developmental psychologist whose research focuses on children's concepts and language development.\n\nNote that this talk is free and open to the public and will take place at the Ann Arbor District Library's Downtown Branch.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rapture Ready: The Rapture in the American Imagination
DESCRIPTION:Dreams of being airborne\, leaving this sinful world and all its sinners behind in a cloud of chaos\, is the ultimate end-time fantasy. The story is steadfastly held by pre-millennialist\, evangelical Christians who read the concept of the Rapture into biblical prophecy about the future of the living\, and the dead. The Rapture is prime material for popular mythmaking\, and Pippin will trace some of the occurrences in popular culture\, and how a Rapture theology plays out in contemporary politics. (Tina Pippin is the Wallace M. Alston Professor of Bible and Religion at Agnes Scott College in Decatur\, GA.) Register for this online Zoom Webinar at tinyurl.com/TPippin

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

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

SUMMARY: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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar: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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Prelim Seminar Series - A Feeling for the Organism: Understanding Trait Evolution in Polypore Mushrooms
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title:  A Feeling for the Organism: Understanding Trait Evolution in Polypore Mushrooms\n\nSummary: My project proposal broadly investigates macrofungal evolution through a specific focus on sporocarp traits. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Contributions to Distributed Learning and Selective Inference
DESCRIPTION:The rapid growth and distributed nature of modern datasets pose significant challenges in statistical learning and inference. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CAV Pilot Development and Deployment in Midwest Winter
DESCRIPTION:Research from Purdue University presents a novel approach for deploying Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) in challenging Midwest winter environments through the integration of Vision Language Models (VLMs). 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. Prior to joining Purdue\, Dr. Wang worked for Toyota R&D in Silicon Valley as a Principal Researcher of Digital Twin. He also serves as Founding Chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Internet of Things in Intelligent Transportation Systems\, and Associate Editor of four academic journals. His achievements were demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas\, and acknowledged by five best paper awards\, the First Prize in IEEE Shape the Future of ITS Competition\, and the U.S. Department of Transportation Dissertation Award. Dr. Wang is an author of 60+ refereed publications and 50+ patent applications\, and his research interests are digital twins\, autonomous driving\, and embodied AI.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Prelim Seminar Series -  Life in Plastic\, It’s Fantastic: The microbial metabolisms of polyethylene and the implications for social phenotypes
DESCRIPTION:Talk title: Life in Plastic\, It’s Fantastic: The microbial metabolisms of polyethylene and the implications for social phenotypes\n\nSummary: Microbes are responsible for breaking down recalcitrant organic matter like lignin and chitin and thus reintroducing those molecules back into nutrient cycles. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Recent advances in optical nanoscopy with quantum materials
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will introduce two emerging optical nanoscopy techniques and the new science they enable. 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). His postdoc research was at UC San Diego from 2012-2014. His research interests include the physics of correlated electron systems\, low-dimensional materials\, infrared and terahertz nano-optics\, and ultrafast time-domain spectroscopy.  Prizes include the Moore EPI award (2023)\, SBU Discovery award finalist (2024)\, NSF career award (2021)\, and Seaborg Institute Research Fellowships at Los Alamos National Lab (2009\, 2010).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EHAP Lecture Series: Lab Mice in Naturalistic Environments: A New Model for Understanding Causal Social Impacts on Individuality\, Physiology\, and Fitness
DESCRIPTION:Social factors have long been associated with individual variation in behavior\, physiology\, health\, and survival in non-human animals and humans. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From Helicases to CRISPR: How RNA Stability and Specificity Shape Biology
DESCRIPTION:The fundamental properties of the RNA double helix—high structural stability and strict base-pairing specificity—have profoundly influenced biological systems throughout evolutionary history and up to today. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Ziwet Colloquium Lecture: From Phase Separation in Heterogeneous Media to Learning Training Schemes for Image Denoising
DESCRIPTION:What do these two themes have in common? 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.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Breakfast of Champions
DESCRIPTION:Watch the 1999 movie Breakfast of Champions (1hr 40min)\, and stay for a post-screening Q&A with Director Alan Rudolph. Purchase tickets from the Michigan Theater (https://myumi.ch/G21x4).\n\nTwenty-five years after its initial release\, Kurt Vonnegut’s biting portrayal of America’s mad chaos returns in a restored 4K version. Directed by the brilliant Alan Rudolph and starring Bruce Willis\, Nick Nolte\, and Albert Finney\, this zany and incisive film has been overlooked for far too long.\n\n\"Breakfast of Champions\" tells the story of Dwayne Hoover (Bruce Willis)\, a famous car dealer and the most respected man in Midland City. The American success formula has left Dwayne rich and famous but also empty and suicidal. He suspects dark motives emanating from his wife (Barbara Hershey)\, his sales manager (Nick Nolte)\, and his lover/secretary (Glenne Headly). When Dwayne has a volatile\, astonishing encounter with outrageous science fiction writer Kilgore Trout (Albert Finney) at the Midland City Fine Arts Festival\, neither they nor the city is ever the same.\n\nPresented by the Michigan Theater\; the University of Michigan Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\; and the University of Michigan Library.

SUMMARY:Performance:Gruff Rhys (Solo)
DESCRIPTION:Gruff Rhys is a songwriter\, producer and award-winning storyteller from Bethesda in Wales who has consistently sought a variety of outlets for the spectrum of muses behind his creative flights. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. 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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Tariffs\, Taxes\, and the Rise of Presidential Power
DESCRIPTION:Explore the shift in U.S. political dynamics\, focusing on the decline of congressional oversight over tariffs and the rise of executive power\, particularly during the Trump administration. Led by Dr. Mitch Sollenberger\, this talk examines the factors that led Congress to move away from tariffs and how this reflects broader changes in the relationship between Congress and the president. We’ll also address the rise of \"presidentialism\" and the centralization of executive authority\, highlighting how Trump's presidency reshaped governing norms and public policy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EXPERIMENTALLY VALIDATING WELFARE EVALUATION OF SCHOOL VOUCHERS
DESCRIPTION:We leverage a unique two-stage experiment that randomized access to private school vouchers across markets as well as students to estimate the revealed preference value of school choice. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning Seminar in Algebraic Combinatorics: Projective system of posets from set partitions
DESCRIPTION:It is known when we call a poset P\, a P-chain permutational poset\, given a subset of permutations\nP of the symmetric group S_n. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CANCELLED - Department Colloquium | The Effect of Modest Pressures on the Synthesis of Chalcogenides and Halides
DESCRIPTION:Although temperature and composition are common synthetic variables in solid state chemistry\, pressure is not. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:GISC Rabbi Elliott 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. He studies political culture in the Middle East\, Arab and Muslim communities in North America\, and new approaches to history writing. His books include *Nationalism and the Genealogical Imagination: Oral History and Textual Authority in Tribal Jordan* (1997)\, *Islamophobia/Islamophilia: Beyond the Politics of Enemy and Friend* (2010)\, *Deep History: The Architecture of Past and Present* (with Daniel Smail\, 2011)\, and *Beyond Refuge in Arab Detroit* (with Yasmeen Hanoosh and Sally Howell\, 2025).\n     \n   Purchasing Dr. Moll's book?\n   \n   Order using the promo code below for a discount!\n   $32.00 paperback\, 368 pages\n   Receive 20% off at http://www.sup.org/ with code: MOLL20\n\n---\n   \n   \n   This event is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Optimal PhiBE — A Model-Free PDE-Based Framework for Continuous-Time Reinforcement Learning
DESCRIPTION:This talk addresses continuous-time reinforcement learning (RL) in settings where the system dynamics are governed by a stochastic differential equation but remains unknown\, with only discrete-time observations available. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: A fluid dynamical swimming lesson: the tale of two length scales
DESCRIPTION:Nature can provide us with important lessons on how to swim efficiently in a variety of situations. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Ziwet Colloquium Lecture: Mathematical Analysis of Novel Advanced Materials: Epitaxy and Quantum Dots\, Wetting and Dewetting
DESCRIPTION:Quantum dots are man-made nanocrystals of semiconducting materials. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Science Café: Becoming Our Best Selves—One \"Like\" at a Time
DESCRIPTION:As of 2024\, 72.5% of the U.S. population—approximately 246 million people—used social media sites like Facebook\, Instagram\, X\, Snapchat\, TikTok\, and Mastodon. Even though many people have shuttered their accounts in the wake of an increasingly polarized political climate\, social media is still one of the primary ways we connect with one another.\n\nResearch on the toxic impacts of social media are abundant\, but these online platforms can also help us build community and support each other.\n\nDr. David Jurgens works at the intersection of computational space and social sciences. His research in artificial intelligence (AI) aims to understand how social media influences our well-being. Unlike the vast majority of social media research\, which focuses on how social media can cause harm\, Jurgens’ experimental work develops new AI-based tools with the hope of helping people online better engage with each other.\n\nDr. Yanna Krupnikov\, Professor of Communication and Media\, studies political expression and polarization on social media. Krupnikov has co-authored a number of books on the topic\, including the recently published Partisan Hostility and American Democracy: Explaining Political Divisions and When They Matter (2024\, University of Chicago Press).\n\nHors d’oeuvres will be served at 5:30 p.m.\, and the program begins at 6:00 p.m.\nSeating is limited—come early.\nFree and open to the public.\nUMMNH would like to thank Conor O’Neill’s for 15+ years of support for our Science Cafés.

DESCRIPTION:Turn Up Turnout (TUT)\, the campus nonpartisan civic engagement organization\, is inviting representatives from All Voting is Local\, Campus Vote Project\, student leaders\, and other election law folks to pilot a new initiative called: Maize and Blue Civics. TUT is the student group in UMICH Votes\, helping to successfully register over 10\,000 voters from August to October for the 2024 election. Their work does not stop after elections\, as they are a year-round org! \n\nThe topic of our first Maize and Blue Civics will be: The State of Voting Rights. Our goal as a nonpartisan organization that supports access to the ballot is to help inform and educate voters about the potential impact of legislation. The goal of the panel is to discuss this legislation and how students can ensure they are prepared to participate in future elections.\n\nPlease join us on Wednesday\, April 16 at 6 pm in the Ford School Betty Ford Classroom (Weill Hall first-floor auditorium).\n\nWe look forward to having you!\n\nRegister here: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/93587

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. 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).

It will also describe new measurement methods that enable the study of these phenomena.  The observations include water-in-oil emulsions that remain stable in the absence of any surfactant whatsoever\, phase separation of proteins that result in liquid and gel drops and the observation that biopolymer gel networks in living cells have all the hallmarks of worm-like micelles\, and network structure widely studied in surfactant and diblock copolymers systems.\n\nAbout David Weitz:\nDavid A. Weitz is the Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University\, where he has established a renowned career in the field of soft condensed matter physics and microfluidics. He earned his Ph.D. in physics at Harvard in 1978 under the mentorship of Prof. M. Tinkham. Before joining Harvard\, Weitz was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a physicist at Exxon Research and Engineering Co. His research contributions\, such as developing Diffusing-Wave Spectroscopy and pioneering work in microrheology\, have significantly advanced the understanding of complex fluids and soft materials.\n\nWeitz's lab at Harvard is at the forefront of studying the physics of soft condensed matter\, which includes work on colloidal dispersions\, foams\, and emulsions. The lab is also dedicated to advancing microfluidic techniques for the synthesis of new materials and complex biochemical assays. The team explores the mechanics of biomaterials and cell rheology\, striving to innovate in the fields of encapsulation and fluid dynamics.\n\nWeitz's prolific academic and scientific contributions have been recognized by his election to several prestigious organizations. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering\, as well as a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Chemistry.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Moving Beyond Professional Identity to Access the Hidden\, Human Experiences of Engineering
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar\, Dr. Huff will illustrate the Beyond Professional Identity (BPI) lab's active engineering education research that aims to transform cultures of engineering to be compassionate toward humanity. By establishing theoretical and methodological ways to access psychological phenomena that are often hidden in professional domains\, we can change the ways that engineering faculty\, students\, and professionals inter-personally relate to those within and outside engineering by altering the ways that they intra-personally understand who they are—their identities—in the context of their professions. In this seminar\, Dr. Huff discusses four strands of research that support this career mission: 1) quality in interpretive research\, 2) personal identity in professional settings\, 3) professional shame in engineering\, and 4) academic well-being in engineering faculty. He will demonstrate how activity in these four strands of research coalesce to create a clarified vision of how engineers could emanate and experience care in the context of their professions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Long-run Effects of Transportation Productivity on the US Economy
DESCRIPTION:We quantify the aggregate\, regional and sectoral impacts of transportation productivity growth on the US economy over the period 1947-2017. Using a multi-region\, multi-sector model that explicitly captures produced transportation services as a key input to interregional trade\, we find that the calibrated change in transportation productivity had a sizable impact on aggregate welfare\, magnified by a factor of 2.3 compared to its sectoral share in GDP. The amplification mechanism results from the complementarity between transport services and tradable goods\, interacting with sectoral and spatial linkages. The geographical implications are highly uneven\, with the West and Southwest benefiting the most from market access improvements while the Northeast experiences a decline. Sectoral impacts are largest in transportation-intensive activities like agriculture\, mining and heavy manufacturing. Our results demonstrate the outsized and heterogeneous impact of the transportation sector in shaping US economic activity through specialization and spatial transformation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Matsumoto Toshio and the Antifascist Avant-Garde
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 1010 Weiser Hall and virtually via Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. \n\nRegister for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/5y2k8.\n   \n   This talk analyzes the film and philosophy of Matsumoto Toshio\, an avant-garde documentary filmmaker best known for the queer\, kaleidoscopic *Funeral Parade of Roses* (1969) and a series of \"neo-documentary\" films from the early-mid 1960s. Specifically\, it looks at his work through the overarching lens of antifascism. I argue that his writings describe avant-garde documentary as a privileged art form\, uniquely capable of battling against everyday fascist ideology – both fascism in the streets and in our mindset and everyday behavior.\n   \n   Julia Alekseyeva is an assistant professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania and holds a secondary affiliation with cinema and media studies. Her first academic book\, *Antifascism and the Avant-Garde: Radical Documentary in the 1960s* (UC Press\, Feb. 2025)\, builds off of long-standing work analyzing the interaction between radical media and leftist politics\, especially in Japan\, France\, and the Soviet Union. In addition to her academic work\, she is also a practicing cartoonist and author-illustrator of the award-winning graphic memoir *Soviet Daughter: A Graphic Revolution* (Microcosm\, 2017).\n   \n   *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Prelim Seminar Series - How do functional and life history traits mediate bee-plant interactions and distributions?
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Bees (Hymenoptera : Apoidea : Anthophila) are a speciose and functionally diverse clade of insects\, comprising over 20\,000 described species which act as key pollinators across terrestrial and agricultural ecosystems. However\, despite their ecological and economic importance\, we still lack fundamental understanding of the consequences of bee functional and life history variation for bee ecology\, evolution\, and pollination services. As native pollinator abundance and diversity continue to decline worldwide\, expanding our understanding of how trait variation among bees shapes their geographic distributions and dietary preferences will enhance our ability to predict how global changes may impact this crucial ecosystem service. In this dissertation\, I seek to address these gaps by adopting a macroecological and macroevolutionary approach to bee trait diversity. I will integrate large datasets of traits and phylogenies to identify the environmental factors that govern variation in key functional traits and explore how this variation influences bees' interactions with flowering plants. I will also generate new data on diet preferences for poorly studied tropical bees using novel approaches for honey and pollen metabarcoding and contribute to ongoing efforts in the field to create large\, global datasets of bee traits and bee-plant interactions. Ultimately\, this research will provide new insights into the ecological processes shaping bee diversity and their interactions with flowering plants.

DESCRIPTION:Presenter Bio:\n\nR. Srikant is a Grainger Distinguished Chair in Engineering\, co-Director of the C3.ai Digital Transformation Institute and a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the\nCoordinated Science Lab at the University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign.  His research interests include applied probability\, machine learning and communication networks. He is the recipient of the 2015 INFOCOM Achievement Award\, the 2019 IEEE Koji Kobayashi Computers and  Communications Award and the 2021 ACM SIGMETRICS Achievement Award. He has also received several Best Paper awards including the 2015 INFOCOM Best Paper Award\,  the 2017 Applied Probability Society Best Publication Award\, and the 2017 WiOpt Best Paper award. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking from 2013-2017 and is currently the Stochastic Models Area Chair for Mathematics of Operations Research.\n\nAbstract:\n\nThe first part of the talk will provide some motivation for the use of central limit theorem to design algorithms for machine learning and graph sampling. Then\, we will provide an introduction to Stein’s method which can be used to upper bound the Wasserstein distance between the distribution of a scaled sum of random variables and a Gaussian distribution. Finally\, we will present some new results on nonasymptotic CLTs for vector-valued martingales and vector-valued functions of Markov chains\, and discuss an application to machine learning.  The first part of the talk will draw upon several papers to provide motivation and an introduction to Stein’s method while the latter part of the talk will be based on this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.15719.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra Seminar -- (derived) jets and arcs and an imperfect curve selection lemma
DESCRIPTION:Fix k a field and X an affine k-variety. For each non-negative integer r\, associated to X are r-th jet spaces which parameterize polynomial differential equations of order at most r\,  and their limit J^infty X the arc space of X\, with a natural projection map pi : J^\infty X \to X. A fundamental problem introduced by Nash relates essential valuations to those that appear in the irreducible decomposition of the inverse image under pi of the singular locus of X.  Critical to all known cases of determining when these valuations are the same is the `curve selection' lemma\, which comes down to proving a noetherianity statement of a local ring of the arc space at so called stable points. This is known when k is perfect. Extending techniques of Docampo-de Fernex\, we employ derived techniques to address the case when k is not perfect.  We will review background on jet/arc spaces. This is joint work with R. Docampo\, C. Eric Overton-Walker.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Differential Equations Seminar-2D density-patches for the Navier-Stokes equations with variable viscosity coefficient
DESCRIPTION:We consider the inhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficient in two space dimensions. These equations describe the motion of a fluid with variable density and viscosity\, which arises for example when mixing two immiscible fluids with different densities and viscosities. In this talk we prove the propagation of regularity of density patches\, even for largely varying\, discontinuous viscosity coefficients. This talk is based on joint work with Xian Liao.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Retracing the evolutionary steps towards symbiosis
DESCRIPTION:The biosphere is a network of interacting species that connects organisms across all scales\, from microbes to mammals. Knowledge of the mechanisms underlying these relationships\, and the evolutionary forces that shape them\, is fragmentary. In this lecture\, I will describe how my lab has pioneered the study of rove beetles as a model clade to break open basic problems in organismal interactions and their evolutionary origins. Most of the 66\,000 rove beetle species are free-living predators. Yet\, from this ancestral lifestyle\, hundreds of lineages have transformed into symbiotic organisms specialized for life as imposters within the complex societies of ants. The transition from free-living to symbiotic embodies evolution in the extreme\, with dramatic changes in social behavior and chemical communication that enable rove beetles to assimilate into the social fabric of host colonies. The widespread\, convergent evolution of this form of symbiosis\, combined with the experimental tractability of both free-living and symbiotic rove beetles\, provides a virtuoso system for understanding both how and why new ecological relationships are forged by evolution. I will discuss how my lab’s work is creating an integrated picture of how species recognize and interact with each other\, illuminating the conditions that predispose such interactions to emerge\, and pinpointing forces that shape the evolutionary path towards obligate and highly intimate relationships between species.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Measuring the Effects of Aggregate Shocks on Unit-Level Outcomes and Their Distribution (with Stephanie Ettmeier (University of Bonn)\; Chi Hyun Kim (University of Bonn))
DESCRIPTION:This paper studies the effect of aggregate shocks on micro-level outcomes. We develop and estimate a cross-sectional units vector autoregression (csuVAR) that combines aggregate variables with unit-level outcomes\, earnings in our application. The csuVAR also allows us to reconstruct the cross-sectional distribution from the unit-level outcomes. We contrast the csuVAR with a functional VAR model (fVAR) that is designed to directly track the evolution of macroeconomic aggregates and a cross-sectional distribution\, but not individual units. In an empirical application we examine the effect of productivity shocks on the unit-level labor earnings dynamics in Germany\, using a panel data set constructed from the Sample of Integrated Labour Market Biographies (SIAB) published by Institute for Employment Research (IAB) of the German Federal Employment Agency.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:River Systems and Their Communities
DESCRIPTION:On this Third Thursday of Earth Month\, come explore river systems around the world and the communities that have developed alongside them. Through materials in the International Studies Collection\, learn about issues faced by both the people and the rivers themselves\, and the efforts to keep them thriving.\n\nWater touches many aspects of our lives. From the visible (nourishing our bodies\, cleaning our clothes and dishes) to the less visible (creating electricity and cooling our homes and information systems)\, fresh water is an integral part of the living experience on Earth.\n\nThis dependence has long led communities to develop on the banks of rivers\, but the relationship is not always a smooth one. As much as rivers have influenced culture and religion\, they have also been sites of destruction as industrial appetites have increased. \n\nJoin us for Third Thursdays at the Library\, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections.\n\nWhile you’re here\, pick up a Third Thursday Passport and collect a stamp from each of the three Third Thursday Open Houses — the Clark Library\, International Studies\, and the Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) - LSA Open Workshops (Winter 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC Workshop uses small-group\, peer-led circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced.Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions or concerns about taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact Jacqy Hippe\, Program Manager for Graduate Research\, Outreach\, Workshops\, Outreach\, and Evaluation (GROWE) (jhippe@umich.edu)\, or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this workshop challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. Where requirements are met\, GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC Workshop on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via Zoom to discuss their need for exemption and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Public Lecture: Ancestors: Where Do We Come From and Why Do We Care?
DESCRIPTION:Format: Lecture followed by Q&A\n\nAbstract: Everyone comes from somewhere. From the doctor’s office to the passport office\, from whom we’ve descended affects the biological\, legal\, and cultural identities of just about everybody in the world today. How did ancestry come to play such a critical role in defining status? The answers lie\, in part\, in the many kinds of genealogical records created and maintained by religious and political authorities over time\, such as royal chronicles\, family trees\, and certificates of birth\, marriage\, and death. Drawing on insights from history\, anthropology\, and genetics\, this lecture will meditate on the human preoccupation with lineage from ancient times to the DNA tests of today.\n\nBiography: Maya Jasanoff is the Coolidge Professor of History at Harvard University. She is the author of three books—\"Edge of Empire\" (2005)\, \"Liberty’s Exiles\" (2011)\, and \"The Dawn Watch\" (2017)—which have won accolades including the National Book Critics Circle Award\, the Cundill Prize in History\, the George Washington Book Prize\, and the Windham-Campbell Prize for Non-Fiction. Jasanoff is currently completing a broad-ranging history of the human preoccupation with ancestry. She writes widely about history\, literature\, and world affairs for publications including The New Yorker and The New York Times.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg. Additional support from the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Shadowed Embraces\"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Dance at the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance presents *Shadowed Embraces\,* with choreography by Robert Farr-Jones\, Mary Kacsur\, Stella Lansill\, and Najah Tucker.  This concert runs April 17th\, 18th\, & 19th at 7:30 pm. \n\nMary Kacsur’s group work\, *Light Encounters\,* utilizes three symbols–sunrise\, sunset\, and the North Star–to represent new beginnings\, hope\, direction\, and the guidance that we seek in our lives. Dancers Eve Anderson\, Ava Barber\, Alexandra Baron\, Julianne Doner\, Lily Gonzalez\, and Alyssa Hernandez take the audience on a reflective exploration through morning and night. In Kacsur’s solo\, Love\, Mary\, she reflects on significant moments in her life\, exploring themes of resilience\, nostalgia\, and healing. By sharing her personal journey\, she highlights the importance of investing in moments that bring joy and truly matter.\n\nInspired by Jewish traditions\, ancestral memory\, and identity\, Stella Lansill’s *A fire must be tended to* explores trauma\, resilience\, intimacy\, and rebirth through movement\, visual art\, and live music. The connected group and solo piece confront youthful naivety with the ancient hymn hidden within us—burdened by past suffering and inherited trauma but gifted with the wisdom\, strength\, and creativity of those who came before\, whose voices still hum within us. Through cycles of nurturing\, explorations of queer relationships\, and sacred reckoning\, the performers undergo spiritual deaths and renewal\, embracing “darkness” as a radical space for growth and collective healing.\n\n*Consuming\,* choreographed by Najah Tucker\, explores how the weight of one singular want can cause a tidal wave of disaster. The work investigates this impending tidal wave of emotions through an ensemble of dancers. Before\, Tucker’s solo\, reminisces on past experiences that led her to where she is today.\n\nRobert Farr-Jones’s work *i’m not ready // they must be fed* explores transformation\, found family\, and the inevitability of change\, using the natural phenomenon of a whale fall as a guiding image. Through layered fabric veils developed in collaboration with a Design and Production major Ceri Roberts\, this choreography navigates cycles of loss and renewal\, inviting the audience to reflect on the profound transitions that shape our lives. \n\nThis concert is supported in part through the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, EXCEL Enterprise Fund and the Arts at Michigan Fund.

SUMMARY:Performance:Titanic: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:*Titanic: The Musical* premiered on Broadway in April 1997\, eight months before the well-known film. It went on to become a huge success\, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical and thrilling audiences for its depiction of a defining moment in 20th-century history. The RMS *Titanic* was unlike any ship that had come before\, a marvel of engineering and a powerful symbol of progress – until its deadly collision with an iceberg turned it into a representation of hubris and human frailty. \n\nThis stirring musical depicts the hopes and aspirations of actual passengers on board the ill-fated ship\, from the wealthy and powerful in first class\, to the ambitious middle-class passengers\, to the poor immigrants in steerage – all thrilled to be part of this historic voyage\, hopeful for the future\, and blissfully unaware of the tragedy ahead. \n\n\nMusic and lyrics by Maury Yeston\nBook by Peter Stone\nDirector André Garner\nMusic Director Tyler Driskill\n\nRecommended Ages: 11+

SUMMARY:Performance:Victor Wooten and the Wooten Brothers
DESCRIPTION:A legendary band of brothers\nFor over four decades the Wooten Brothers have been recognized as some of the most innovative musicians in existence and are collectively known as one of the most talented and dynamic band of brothers the world has ever known. Since they were young\, the brothers have been a musical tour-de-force redefining the limits of jazz\, funk\, soul\, R&B\, rock\, and bluegrass. \nVictor Wooten\, a five-time Grammy Award-winning artist\, has graced the cover of Bass Player Magazine five times. He is a founding member of the eclectic group Bela Fleck and the Flecktones and is recognized as one of the greatest living bassist today often drawing comparisons to Jaco Pastorius\, and was named one of the “Top ten bassist of all time” by Rolling Stone Magazine.\n\nJoseph Wooten has a dizzying list of talents that is impressive even by the Wooten clan’s standards. Currently the keyboardist for the Steve Miller Band (since 1993)\, he is also a composer\, orchestrator\, motivational speaker\, and has been showcased as an amazing vocalist since he was a child. He has collaborated with the likes of Whitney Houston and Kenny G\, and when not touring with Miller\, leads his own band\, performs with Freedom Sings\, and even helps out his little brother as keyboardist\, vocalist\, and composer for The Victor Wooten Band. \n\nRoy “Futureman” Wooten\, also a five-time Grammy Award winner\, is best known for his masterful drumming and percussion skills and is a founding member of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Roy\, a seasoned drum set player\, is mostly known for his frenzied\, inimitable on-stage performances heightened by his surreal choice of instruments: his trademark inventions “The Drumitar” and “RoyEl” keyboard. He is also a philosopher\, researcher\, filmmaker\, and educator. His impressive solo career and “Black Mozart” projects scan the genres of classical\, jazz\, soul\, gospel\, and spoken word. \n\nRegi Wooten’s signature guitar style of chording\, slapping\, tapping and frenzied strumming has earned him world-wide notoriety and comparisons to Jimi Hendrix\, Frank Zappa and Chuck Berry. In recent years\, Regi has performed with many artists including the legendary Ginger Baker. Regi\, known worldwide as “The Teacher”\, currently teaches music in Nashville\, TN and has taught many notable musicians. He was teaching his little brothers Joseph and Victor when he himself was only 9 years old. \n\nTogether The Wooten Brothers bring an uncanny level of experience\, originality\, and musical expertise to the stage. Their shows will be a high-energy\, super-funky\, artistic blend of styles including original songs and classics. In short: these brothers are the real deal and their shows are not to be missed.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Prison\, a Prisoner\, and a Prison Guard
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a multimedia exploration of the impact of prisons on countries and communities across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region through the lens of “prison art.” The exhibit delves into the dynamic interplay between incarceration and creative expression to make sense of carceral systems.\n\nBy presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region\, including Algeria\, Egypt\, Iran\, Iraq\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, Sudan\, Syria\, and Yemen\, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors\, detainees’ families\, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide\, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems\, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational\, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.\n\nCurated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective\, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nPlan to attend the related discussion\, \"Art\, Justice\, and Carcerality: The Role of Creative Expression in the Pursuit of Justice\,\" on February 6.

DESCRIPTION:The exhibit \"Being Mixed Race in a Mono-racially Organized World: Interracial Identity in the U.S. and Around the World — What Research and Mixed Race People Tell Us\" is an exploration into the library's collections about the diversity of mixed race heritage. Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. Threads of Tradition: The Art of Ukrainian Vyshyvanka
DESCRIPTION:The act of embroidering and weaving designs onto cloth is deeply rooted in Ukrainian traditions. Embellished clothing (sorochky)\, ritual cloths (rushnyky)\, and household textiles accompany a person from birth until death\, punctuating important life events in between.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Dissertation Defense - Selections in molecular and phenotypic evolution
DESCRIPTION:Dissertation Title: Selections in molecular and phenotypic evolution\n\nDissertation Abstract: Selection plays an undoubtedly important role in evolution. My dissertation explores the pattern and impact of selection at both molecular and phenotypic levels. In Chapter 1\, I challenged the neutral theory of molecular evolution by demonstrating that beneficial mutations are way more abundant than previously assumed. I proposed an adaptive tracking theory to reconcile this finding with the low substitution rate inferred from comparative genomic patterns\; under this theory\, a natural population is always adapting to the rapidly changing environment. In Chapter 2\, I investigated the genetic maintenance of human same-sex sexual behavior (SSB) and showed that modern contraception had disrupted previously hypothesized evolutionary mechanisms that maintained SSB-associated alleles. In Chapter 3\, I further distinguished between bisexual behavior (BSB) and exclusive SSB (eSSB) in their genetic basis\, finding that BSB-associated alleles may confer reproductive advantages whereas eSSB-associated alleles are likely under negative selection. In Chapter 4\, I examined the genetic architecture of the human sex ratio\, identified the impact of large measurement error in inferring the heritability of sex ratio\, and provided genomic evidence supporting Fisher’s principle. Finally\, I addressed methodological aspects of evolutionary analysis: in Chapter 5\, I uncovered biases in inferring fitness landscape ruggedness due to measurement errors and proposed a correction\; in Chapter 6\, I introduced “effective fitness” as a more informative metric to quantify fluctuating selection with genetic drift. Collectively\, these findings underscore the pervasive role of natural selection in both molecular and phenotypic evolution and offer new frameworks for understanding

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Effects of Widespread Online Education on Market Structure and Enrollment
DESCRIPTION:We examine the rapid growth of Brazil's for-profit online higher education sector and its impact on market structure and enrollment. Exploiting regional and field-specific variation in online penetration\, we find that online programs increase enrollment for older students but divert younger students from in-person higher-quality programs. Increased competition lowers the prices of in-person programs but leads to a decline in their provision. Using an equilibrium model of college education\, we quantify that in the absence of online education\, the average student would experience 3.4% higher value added. While young students benefit from fewer online options\, older students are disadvantaged. Targeted policies limiting online education to older cohorts have the potential to improve value added across all groups.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Bridging the theory-practice gap in machine learning: new results in sampling and optimization
DESCRIPTION:Meteoric progress in machine learning over the last decade has outpaced our foundational understanding\, limiting our ability to harness the technology effectively in applications that require performance guarantees\, and inviting the development of theory to enable such applications. At the heart of this progress is a highly productive connection to gradient-based optimization\, the efficacy of which we are so far unable to fully explain. Motivated by this issue\, in the first part of the talk\, I will briefly describe an interpretable and computationally efficient adaptive step-size method for gradient-based optimization that relies on ideas from the numerical analysis of ordinary differential equations. I will show how this method connects studies of popular optimizers for machine learning in continuous time—where they are often more amenable to analysis—with their practical discrete-time implementations.\n\nSurprising recent developments in machine learning include the ability to generate---or sample---perceptual data such as natural images and language. Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms have long provided a generic recipe for sampling from probability distributions of interest. The Gibbs sampler is a specific limit of an MCMC algorithm and is the natural choice for sampling from a simple model of image patches. In the bulk of this talk\, I will focus on a new mixing time bound for Gibbs sampling from well-conditioned log-concave distributions. I will outline the proof of the bound and place it within the context of ongoing efforts in the broader community to understand the efficacy of diffusion-based image generation methods. Time permitting\, I will discuss potential applications of these efforts to problems in cosmology and biophysics.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A cross-century pursuit of propagating waves of cell death
DESCRIPTION:Large-scale cell death is commonly observed during organismal development and in human pathologies. These cell death events extend over great distances to eliminate large populations of cells\, raising the question of how cell death can be coordinated in space and time. One mechanism that enables long-range signal transmission is trigger waves\, but how this mechanism might be used for death events in cell populations remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that ferroptosis\, an iron- and lipid-peroxidation-dependent form of cell death\, can propagate across human cells over long distances (≥ 5 mm) at constant speeds (around 5.5 μm/min) through trigger waves of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Chemical and genetic perturbations indicate a primary role of ROS feedback loops (Fenton reaction\, NADPH oxidase signaling and glutathione synthesis) in controlling the progression of ferroptotic trigger waves. We show that introducing ferroptotic stress through suppression of cystine uptake activates these ROS feedback loops\, converting cellular redox systems from being monostable to being bistable and thereby priming cell populations to become bistable media over which ROS propagate. Furthermore\, we demonstrate that ferroptosis and its propagation accompany the massive\, yet spatially restricted\, cell death events during muscle remodeling of the embryonic avian limb\, substantiating its use as a tissue-sculpting strategy during embryogenesis. Our findings highlight the role of ferroptosis in coordinating global cell death events\, providing a paradigm for investigating large-scale cell death in embryonic development and human pathologies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Bloody Work: Lexington and Concord 1775
DESCRIPTION:The William L. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series. Fact Checking in Low-Resource Languages: A New Dataset and Transformer Model for the Burmese Language
DESCRIPTION:Misinformation on Burmese social media is a serious problem\, fueling hate speech and violence\, especially during the 2017 Rohingya genocide. Despite efforts by platforms like Facebook to restrain harmful content using Burmese-speaking moderators and some automatic tools\, a limited number of moderators working for these platforms are often overwhelmed by the amount of content to be fact checked. The goal of this research is to leverage AI and machine learning to create automatic fact checking tools to assist human moderators. The challenge we encountered is the lack of training data and effective machine learning models. We addressed this challenge by creating a large dataset and natural language processing (NLP) models for fact checking in Burmese. We translated the Fake News Challenge (FNC-1) dataset (originally in English) into Burmese using machine translation. We then trained and evaluated three BERT-based classifiers for fact checking in Burmese using the machine-translated dataset. We also evaluated the three classifiers using a manually annotated Burmese dataset for a comparison with machine-translated data. The top-performing model achieves high predictive performance on both machine-translated and manually annotated data\, with an accuracy comparable to that of human fact checkers. Our results show that BERT-based models trained specifically for Burmese perform better than those trained with multi-lingual data (i.e.\, general multilingual models). This research presents a crucial first step toward creating datasets and tools for fact checking in Burmese and other low resource languages to combat misinformation online.\n   \n   Lwin Moe is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at York University’s Lassonde School of Engineering. As part of his Ph.D. dissertation\, he studies fact checking and misinformation detection using machine learning in general\, and natural language processing (NLP) in particular.\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Windows of Opportunity: How Shareholder Activists Capitalize on Periods of Disruptive Organizational Change
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by research on the temporal nature of opportunities\, we extend the idea that financially motivated shareholder activists target firms based on opportunities. We argue that certain organizational conditions create “windows of opportunity” for these activists to intervene in companies\, which\, when exploited\, increase their odds of success. Drawing on event-based theories of organizational change and disruption\, we hypothesize that firms become more likely targets of shareholder activists after experiencing organizational events that cause internal disruption to their business. We test this in the context of litigation and leadership transitions\, and find that shareholder activists are more likely to target firms shortly after they experience either event. We further show that activists are more successful in achieving their objectives when they target firms based on these opportunities. Viewing opportunities through a temporal lens\, this study extends research on the drivers of shareholder activism.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Student Thesis Defense -  Getting deep: A spatiotemporal dive into vertical phytoplankton patchiness in Michigan lakes
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Seasonal succession of phytoplankton distribution and community composition are well-established in aquatic ecology. However\, localized peaks in phytoplankton abundance—patchiness—can deviate from expected trends. To better understand this variability\, I analyzed vertical profiles of phytoplankton distribution across fifteen lakes in southeast Michigan over three field seasons (2021-2023). I focused on four major phytoplankton groups—green algae\, cyanobacteria\, diatoms\, and cryptophytes—and examined how their abundance varied with depth\, temperature\, and season. Detailed case studies from six representative lakes highlight how basin morphometry influences thermal stratification\, shaping phytoplankton patchiness and concentration over time. Green algae were typically most abundant at the surface during summer months\, though several lakes exhibited benthic green algal peaks. Cyanobacteria\, diatoms\, and cryptophytes showed greater variability across depth and lakes\, with cryptophytes often displaying more consistent abundance throughout the water column. Temperature profiles followed expected seasonal trends\, with strong stratification in summer and mixing in the fall. These results emphasize the importance of considering lake-specific conditions in driving vertical phytoplankton patchiness.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Inaugural Irwin Pollack Lecture | Exceptional Speech Recognition Outcomes: Lessons from Three Case Studies
DESCRIPTION:Individual differences and variability in outcomes following cochlear implantation and auditory brain stem implantation remain significant unresolved problems. In this talk I will present the results of research we have carried out on three exceptional adults with significant hearing loss who received implants. Two of the patients received cochlear implants\; the third received an Auditory Brainstem Implant. Case-reports on these three individuals have provided us with a novel way of investigating the foundational information processing mechanisms underlying variability in outcomes. All three adults displayed exceptionally good speech recognition outcomes following implantation and were administered a novel test battery to measure their auditory\, speech-language\, and neurocognitive functioning to uncover their strengths\, weaknesses\, and milestones. Our results suggest that current clinical outcome measures used to assess the benefits following implantation should be expanded beyond conventional endpoint product measures to include more sensitive robust tests of speech recognition and neurocognitive functioning.\n\nAbout the speaker: \nDavid B. Pisoni is currently a Distinguished Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences and Chancellor’s Professor of Cognitive Science at Indiana University in Bloomington. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Speech and Hearing Sciences and Linguistics at IU where he has taught undergraduate and graduate classes in Cognitive Psychology and carried out basic\, applied and clinical research on speech perception and spoken language processing. He is also an Adjunct Professor of Otolaryngology—HNS at the IU School of Medicine in Indianapolis where he carries out clinical research on hearing and cochlear implants in deaf children and adults.\n\nDr. Pisoni is one of the world’s leading research scientists in the field of Communication Sciences and Disorders. Over his 55 year career at IU\, he has carried out seminal research on human speech perception\, spoken word recognition\, language processing\, and perceptual development in infants and children. He has also carried out pioneering research on several applied problems for the United States Air Force dealing with the perception of synthesized speech in cognitively demanding environments as well as the effects of noise on speech production. For the last 33 years he has also worked at the IU School of Medicine on numerous clinical problems associated with hearing impairment in deaf children and adults who have received cochlear implants. This program of research has had important clinical applications for understanding the enormous variability in speech and language outcomes following implantation. Throughout his career\, Professor Pisoni has made significant contributions in basic\, applied and clinical research in areas of speech and language processing. As the founding Program Director of the Indiana University\, NIDCD T32 training program in Speech\, Hearing\, and Sensory Communication\, he was closely involved in training and mentoring undergraduates\, graduate students\, medical students\, and postdoctoral research fellows who worked closely with him and other faculty in the research laboratories in Bloomington and Indianapolis.\n\nEstablished thanks to a generous gift from the Pollack family\, the Irwin Pollack Lecture Series features world-class speakers in the fields of psychophysics\, cognition\, and perception. This inaugural lecture will be held as a Zoom watch party at the Michigan League in the Henderson room followed by a reception in the Hussey room. The talk will be recorded.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A Theory of Choice Overload
DESCRIPTION:This paper revisits the classic Pandora’s box problem\, studying a decision-maker (DM) who seeks to minimize her maximal ex-post regret. The DM decides how many options to explore before choosing one or taking an outside option. We characterize the regret-minimizing search rule and show that the likelihood of opting out often increases as more options become available for exploration. Our model thus predicts `choice overload\,’ the phenomenon by which a default alternative is more likely to be chosen in larger choice sets.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Geomorphological controls on turbulent mixing in estuaries: implications for water quality
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Turbulent mixing in coastal environments can influence the distribution of material suspended in the water column and the exchange of water with the coastal ocean\, making it a key mechanism controlling water quality. In this talk I will explain how turbulence is accounted for in estuarine physics\, how we measure turbulence in the physical environment\, and will show results from one case study in Frenchman Bay\, Maine\, an area known for its complex deglaciated coastline\, strong tidal influence\, and shellfishing activities that are susceptible to problematic harmful algal blooms (HABs). Measurements of current velocity\, density\, and turbulence collected over a semidiurnal tidal cycle (~12 h) and a companion numerical model simulation of the study area provide concurrent evidence of counter-rotating sub-mesoscale eddies (2–4 km diameter) that enhance near-surface mixing. The eddies are generated in the wake of several islands in an area with abrupt bathymetric gradients\, both legacy conditions partly derived from deglaciation ~15 kya. Increased concentrations of algal cells measured during the 12 h survey follow a trend of elevated turbulent dissipation rates near the water surface due to the eddies. Our findings provide incentive to examine current practices of HAB monitoring and management by linking coastal geomorphology to hydraulic conditions influencing HAB sampling outcomes.\n\n\n\nContact:  Chris DiScenza

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Renormalization Group in far-from-equilibrium states
DESCRIPTION:We consider half BPS operators in maximally supersymmetric Yang Mills (SYM) in p+1 dimensions. These operators satisfy trace relations that are identical to those discussed in the p=3 case (N = 4 SYM). Nevertheless\, the bulk explanation of these trace relations must differ from the p = 3 case as their holographic duals are not AdS spacetimes. We identify giant graviton solutions in the dual holographic backgrounds for -1 <= p <= 4. In the ’t Hooft limit\, these giants are D(6-p) branes that wrap the internal sphere. We also follow the giants into the strong coupling region where they become other branes. Despite propagating in a non-AdS geometry\, we find that the branes “feel” like they are in AdS. This is closely related to the emergent scaling symmetry present in these boundary theories.\n\nbased on https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.14249

SUMMARY:Presentation:Trash Club Presents: Degrowth and the connection to social metabolism
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about postgrowth and degrowth\, defined as: the planned & equitable downscaling of wealthy societies' throughputs of material and energy\, designed to bring the economy back in balance with the living world in a way that reduces inequality and improves human well-being (definitions adapted from Giorgos Kallis and Jason Hickel). Degrowth is widely misunderstood\, but is having a moment in pockets across the globe\, including an EU-wide research project currently looking into how to implement degrowth policies. Come learn about degrowth efforts in the US\, localizing material circularity\, and opportunities to advance community resilience. Dani took several courses on the subject with leading degrowth scholars at the Autonomous University of Barcelona\, a hub for degrowth scholarship\, so she will share her insights as well as news of exciting research.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Ellen Currano\, University of Wyoming
DESCRIPTION:The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is often considered to be the best geologic analog for modern anthropogenic warming\, as the magnitude of carbon release and warming is similar to that predicted for the coming century. I will present PETM paleobotanical records from the Bighorn Basin (northwestern Wyoming) and Hanna Basin (southeastern Wyoming) and examine changes in plant taxonomic composition\, vegetation structure\, and insect herbivory during the PETM. Water stress during the PETM was higher in the Bighorn Basin than in the Hanna Basin\, allowing investigation of the interplay of carbon dioxide\, temperature\, and water availability on forest ecosystems. I will also discuss my path to becoming a female full professor\, including being the sometimes bearded face of women in paleontology.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GEOMETRY SEMINAR:  Non-negative curvature on vector bundles over homotopy spheres.
DESCRIPTION:The seminal theorem of Cheeger and Gromoll characterizes open manifolds of non-negative sectional curvature by showing that any such manifold\, $M^n$\, is diffeomorphic to the normal bundle of a totally convex\, closed submanifold $\Sigma^k$\, a \textit{soul} of $M$.  This brings up a far-reaching open problem: given a closed manifold $\Sigma^k$ with non-negative sectional curvature\, which vector bundles over $\Sigma$ admit complete metrics with non-negative curvature?  In this talk we will talk about the history of this problem and answer a longstanding question of Grove-Ziller.  We show that every vector bundle over every homotopy 7-sphere admits non-negative curvature.  This is joint work with David Duncan and Rebecca Field.

SUMMARY:Performance:\"Shadowed Embraces\"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Dance at the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance presents *Shadowed Embraces\,* with choreography by Robert Farr-Jones\, Mary Kacsur\, Stella Lansill\, and Najah Tucker.  This concert runs April 17th\, 18th\, & 19th at 7:30 pm. \n\nMary Kacsur’s group work\, *Light Encounters\,* utilizes three symbols–sunrise\, sunset\, and the North Star–to represent new beginnings\, hope\, direction\, and the guidance that we seek in our lives. Dancers Eve Anderson\, Ava Barber\, Alexandra Baron\, Julianne Doner\, Lily Gonzalez\, and Alyssa Hernandez take the audience on a reflective exploration through morning and night. In Kacsur’s solo\, Love\, Mary\, she reflects on significant moments in her life\, exploring themes of resilience\, nostalgia\, and healing. By sharing her personal journey\, she highlights the importance of investing in moments that bring joy and truly matter.\n\nInspired by Jewish traditions\, ancestral memory\, and identity\, Stella Lansill’s *A fire must be tended to* explores trauma\, resilience\, intimacy\, and rebirth through movement\, visual art\, and live music. The connected group and solo piece confront youthful naivety with the ancient hymn hidden within us—burdened by past suffering and inherited trauma but gifted with the wisdom\, strength\, and creativity of those who came before\, whose voices still hum within us. Through cycles of nurturing\, explorations of queer relationships\, and sacred reckoning\, the performers undergo spiritual deaths and renewal\, embracing “darkness” as a radical space for growth and collective healing.\n\n*Consuming\,* choreographed by Najah Tucker\, explores how the weight of one singular want can cause a tidal wave of disaster. The work investigates this impending tidal wave of emotions through an ensemble of dancers. Before\, Tucker’s solo\, reminisces on past experiences that led her to where she is today.\n\nRobert Farr-Jones’s work *i’m not ready // they must be fed* explores transformation\, found family\, and the inevitability of change\, using the natural phenomenon of a whale fall as a guiding image. Through layered fabric veils developed in collaboration with a Design and Production major Ceri Roberts\, this choreography navigates cycles of loss and renewal\, inviting the audience to reflect on the profound transitions that shape our lives. \n\nThis concert is supported in part through the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, EXCEL Enterprise Fund and the Arts at Michigan Fund.

SUMMARY:Performance:7 Hours Difference - Part 1: The Humans
DESCRIPTION:*Under the direction of Tzveta Kassabova*\n\n*7 Hours Difference* is a two-part movement piece developed partly in Sofia\, Bulgaria and partly in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, on campus at the University of Michigan. The piece explores how much one needs to be happy\; how much interaction\, play\, or loneliness is too much? Through an exploration of sense\, movement\, and speech\, the piece seeks to discover what it means to be human.\n\nUndergraduate Theatre & Drama students Amelia Fontaine\, Ryland Gigante\, Sam Hopkins\, Ashley Kramer\, Sophia Lane\, Ella Lewis\, Myles Matthews\, CC Meade\, James Parascandola\, Sophia Santos Ufkes\, and Tate Zeleznik have worked alongside professors Tzveta Kassabova and Jason Cianciulli to devise a new version of *7 Hours Difference Part 1: The Humans\,* the portion originally created in Bulgaria in 2024. The students will present the piece this semester in advance of a European tour this summer of parts 1 and 2 performed in collaboration with students and professors from the New Bulgarian University.\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Kylee Phillips & Kyle Joe
DESCRIPTION:Kyle Joe\, who formerly toured as Chain of Lakes and later made the American songwriter competition rounds under his legal name\, Kyle Rasche\, won the Kerrville New Folk Songwriter competition in 2022 after a finalist nod the year prior. \n\n2024 was a year of metamorphosis for Kyle Joe. After a full hard reboot of his life\, both personal and professional\, Kyle hunkered down in a humble recording studio in Ypsilanti\, Michigan to create a new seven-song mid-length album with producer and arranger Chris DuPont. This long overdue partnership gave Kyle’s newest body of work a bold southeast-Michigan indie-folk treatment\, along with guest vocals from rising stars Spencer LaJoye and Kylee Phillips. \n\nKylee Phillips is a Michigan-native vocalist and songwriter of deeply self-exposing pop music. Armed with an arresting\, emotive\, laser-focused voice\, and an unrivaled ear for hooks and melodic contour\, Phillips has garnered cult-like acclaim in the midwest and beyond since her explosive debut EP Long Time Coming.\n\nIn a world with no shortage of self-help sad-babe pop\, Phillips weaves together a sensual\, articulate\, and unpretentiously therapeutic soundtrack for the lives we live but can’t always verbalize. She lends us an experiential wisdom that could only come from a massive heart that’s seen a lot of garbage and emerged transformed and immovable.

SUMMARY:Performance:Titanic: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:*Titanic: The Musical* premiered on Broadway in April 1997\, eight months before the well-known film. It went on to become a huge success\, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical and thrilling audiences for its depiction of a defining moment in 20th-century history. The RMS *Titanic* was unlike any ship that had come before\, a marvel of engineering and a powerful symbol of progress – until its deadly collision with an iceberg turned it into a representation of hubris and human frailty. \n\nThis stirring musical depicts the hopes and aspirations of actual passengers on board the ill-fated ship\, from the wealthy and powerful in first class\, to the ambitious middle-class passengers\, to the poor immigrants in steerage – all thrilled to be part of this historic voyage\, hopeful for the future\, and blissfully unaware of the tragedy ahead. \n\n\nMusic and lyrics by Maury Yeston\nBook by Peter Stone\nDirector André Garner\nMusic Director Tyler Driskill\n\nRecommended Ages: 11+

SUMMARY:Performance:Birdtalker
DESCRIPTION:Fronted by Zack and Dani Green along with Brian Seligman and Chris Wilson\, Birdtalker made their whirlwind debut in 2018 with One featuring their breakout single \"Heavy\" (now over 95 million streams worldwide). Rolling Stone hailed it as “infectious and sprightly” and NPR Music called it “such a beautiful record” while earning similar praises from Billboard\, World Cafe\, and American Songwriter.The release led to non-stop touring\, festival appearances\, and their debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry. \n\nThey followed that up in 2021 with their anticipated sophomore album Birdtalker\, which was met with further critical acclaim from Rolling Stone\, Paste\, Relix\, PopMatters\, The Boot\, The Bluegrass Situation\, Americana Highways\, American Songwriter\, Under The Radar\, and more. John Mayer featured one of their latest songs\, Season Of Charade\, on his SiriusXM Show\, stating \"the whole thing is fantastic.\"\n\nTheir third full-length effort\, All Means\, No End finds the Nashville-based quartet teaming up with a new collaborator\, Louis Johnson (LONAS)\, who produced\, engineered\, and helped co-write the album.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ani Mari Goes East Tour Opening Night w/ The North Ingalls Band
DESCRIPTION:New Music!\n\nAlt-Americana singer-songwriter Ani Mari’s debut solo album\, girlfriend (produced by Erik Koskinen and Real-Phonic Records\, 2023)\, explores the ambiguities of coming of age in a beautifully precarious world. Across ten warmly combative tracks\, she fights for grace and connection amidst the anxieties\, desires\, heartbreaks\, and joie de vivre of being young in America’s heartland. Tracks like “Whitefish Bay” and “The Prettiest Things” echo the forests and waters of the Upper Peninsula and the bluegrass and folk influences Ani grew up immersed in\, while title track “Girlfriend” triangulates her current temperature somewhere between Liz Phair\, Waxahachee\, and Ratboys. Comparisons\, however\, always fall short. Compelling\, humming\, and hungry\, Ani’s indie-folk songwriting is 100% her own\, and definitely not to be missed.\n\nNorth Ingalls is a seven-piece indie folk-groove sound. All members of the band hail from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and met through the School of Music. The original music of North Ingalls is a vibrant patchwork of seven unique individual sounds\, each coming together to celebrate and reflect their personal experiences. The band has gained a devoted following for its deeply honest and detailed narrative lyrics\, brought to life by their emotionally raw vocals and rich\, full-bodied sound.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mike Marshall & Darol Anger
DESCRIPTION:Two architects of the New Acoustic Music movement\n\nFiddler/violinist Darol Anger and multi-instrumental virtuoso Mike Marshall are pioneers of the New Acoustic Music movement\, which is still bringing folk\, jazz\, bluegrass\, and world music influences together in an instrumental acoustic setting. Together as members of the original David Grisman Quintet\, The Montreux Band\, Psychograss\, and their Duo - and individually as members of The Turtle Island String Quartet\, Edgar Meyer’s Short Trip Home group\, The Republic of Strings\, and others - it is fair to say they have influenced more than three generations of musicians\, setting up the playing field for groups such as Punch Brothers\, Aoife O’Donovan\, Hawktail\, Sierra Hull\, and generations of jam bands such as The Infamous Stringdusters and Greensky Bluegrass. \n\nDarol and Mike have created their own way of speaking - through their instruments. When discussing the Duo’s live performances\, people often use phrases like “synergy\,” “magical space\,” “sounds like 5 people playing\,” or “space travelers.” Their connection and shared repertoire goes very deep\, developed over 45 years of music-making in a huge variety of music styles and settings.

DESCRIPTION:\"Pierre Bensusan is one of the truly gifted musicians of our time - he plays the guitar as if it was the very soul of himself.” –George Winston\n\nFrench-Algerian acoustic guitar virtuoso\, vocalist and composer Pierre Bensusan\, surnamed “Mister DADGAD”\, has taken his unique sound to all corners of the globe. 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. Big emotion guaranteed.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Gibson Brothers
DESCRIPTION:“The Gibson Brothers have built their legacy upon a sound that salutes the past while still pushing forward.” –Rolling Stone\n\nThere’s a reason why Ricky Skaggs pulled Eric and Leigh Gibson off the stage at the Ryman two decades ago and offered to produce their debut record. The same thing that led David Ferguson and Grammy Award winning producer and Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach to co-write and produce their 14th album “Mockingbird” (2018) and release it on his own label Easy Eye Sound alongside cultural icons such as Hank Williams Jr. and Dr. John: The Gibson Brothers are the real deal. They can pick. They can sing .And they can write a damn good country song. They’ve won about every bluegrass award you can name and released albums on almost every premier Americana label you can think of including Sugar Hill and Rounder\, and\, if that’s not enough\, their songs have been recorded by bluegrass legends no less than Del McCoury.
