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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621572@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251023T100630 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250417T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250417T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Identifying and Validating Novel Regulators of Erythroid Differentiation DESCRIPTION:Dissertation Defense\n\nWe are pleased to announce that Gregg Myers\, Ph.D. Candidate will present his Dissertation Defense titled \"Identifying and Validating Novel Regulators of Erythroid Differentiation\,\" on Thursday\, April 17\, from 11:00am - 12:00 p.m.\, in Kahn Auditorium and via live stream: https://umich.zoom.us/j/92867050026?pwd=kkZxygZtzxLaaYW48SVR9p0tMPVizz.1 PC CDB\n\nDissertation Committee members:\n- Qing Li (Chair)\n- Jordan Shavit\n- Doug Engel (Co-mentor)\n- Rami Khoriaty (Co-mentor) UID:134172-21873959@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134172 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Basic Science,Biointerfaces,Biology,Biomedical Engineering,Science LOCATION:Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building - Kahn Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250212T090704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250417T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250417T140000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:ITS Spring Power Up DESCRIPTION:Join Information and Technology Services for our spring Power Up event!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 UID:134778-21875096@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134778 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Bsbsigns,department of ecology and evolutionary biology,developmental biology,Dissertation,Ecology & Biology,Ecology And Evolutionary Biology,eeb,Free,Graduate Students LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Earl Lewis Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250415T142445 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250418T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250418T110000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Fragel Friday DESCRIPTION:One more fragel.

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.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621573@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250416T130417 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250418T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250418T233000 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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:130194-21865581@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130194 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250403T152238 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250418T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250418T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bilmes Visiting Filmmaker Series: Alan Rudolph DESCRIPTION:Noted director Alan Rudolph will share items of interest discovered while looking through Screen Arts Mavericks & Makers collections (https://myumi.ch/G2W3b).

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 UID:130845-21867133@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130845 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:High Energy Theory Seminar,Physics LOCATION:Randall Laboratory - 3481 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250310T100535 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250418T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250418T160000 SUMMARY:Tours:LSA Campus Tours for Transfer Students DESCRIPTION:Tired of campus tours designed for high school students?

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.

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.

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.

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+ UID:122792-21849646@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122792 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dance,Music,Storytelling LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250305T120016 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T235959 SUMMARY:Other:NCVF Nationals DESCRIPTION:NCVF Nationals in Phoenix\, AZ  UID:130760-21866844@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/130760 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Phoenix Convention Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250305T120031 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T235959 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:NCVF Nationals 2025 DESCRIPTION:NCVF Nationals 2025 UID:132884-21872026@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132884 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Phoenix Convention Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250305T120029 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T235959 SUMMARY:Other:NU Spring DESCRIPTION:Regatta UID:132607-21871374@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/132607 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Northwestern University CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250305T120010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Race at Marian DESCRIPTION:Cycling Race at Marian University UID:129504-21863082@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/129504 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES: LOCATION:Indianapolis, IN CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250304T115736 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T120000 SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Summer Session in Epidemiology DESCRIPTION:Join us for the longest-running summer program in epidemiology!

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.

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

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621574@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T170000 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).

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.\nThe Friday\, April 18th performance will also be livestreamed.

From dark domestic tragedies to madcap meta-comedies\, these rarely-performed gems serve up everything the Renaissance stage had to offer: murder most foul\, lovers on the run\, ghostly revenge\, and star-crossed siblings. Featuring selections from Arden of Faversham\, A Woman Killed with Kindness\, The Knight of the Burning Pestle\, and ’Tis Pity She’s a Whore\, our performers bring to life tales of domestic murder\, forbidden love\, theatrical chaos\, and poisoned soup—with a side of disguises\, ghostly visits\, and syphilis jokes (it was the Renaissance\, after all).\n\nThese scenes and monologues\, by turns tragic and comic\, satirical and sincere\, showcase the daring range of early modern theatre—and remind us that Shakespeare had some pretty outrageous competition.\n\nThis performance is an end of semester showcase for Audrey Becker's RC Drama course \"Shakespeare's Contemporaries.\" UID:131231-21868006@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/131231 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Drama,Shakespeare,Theater,Theatre,Undergraduate Students LOCATION:East Quadrangle - Keene Theater CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250404T181656 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250419T210000 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.

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.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621575@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250103T152943 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250420T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250420T220000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Connector Sunday Study Table DESCRIPTION:Come to the Connector Sunday evening for an opportunity to study in the community!

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+ UID:122794-21849648@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/122794 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dance,Music,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250411T181631 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250420T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250420T150000 SUMMARY:Performance:Zoe Fong\, violin DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate student Zoe Fong performs a senior recital.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In order to safely perform useful work\, it is crucial for these robotic systems to be equipped with algorithms that enable spatial awareness\, decision making\, and localization. Alternate sensing modalities such as sonar address some of these challenges but introduce new trade-offs: acoustic noise\, view-dependent imaging\, and lack of large datasets for machine learning methods.\n \nThis dissertation addresses challenges associated with autonomous survey\, reacquisition\, and inspection missions for underwater robots. Autonomous survey encompasses the deployment of robots to capture imagery of a large search area. Reacquisition refers to the maneuvers to capture varying views of any found objects. Finally\, close-up inspection of objects involves capturing optical and acoustic imagery of objects for downstream tasks. These tasks are crucial to search and rescue\, oceanography\, defense\, and infrastructure inspection applications. Traditionally\, search for submerged objects of interest has been carried out with ship-mounted sonar and human divers. However\, this manual process is time consuming\, dangerous\, and does not scale to large search areas. The use of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) promises to speed up the process of underwater survey and inspection. However\, the data these vehicles collect often requires manual analysis by humans\, which can take weeks and does not enable in-situ autonomous decision making. Although machine learning methods can speed up decision making and data processing\, there are several challenges for deploying machine learning methods in the field. After an item has been found\, marine robotic systems can be deployed for a close-up inspection to enable detailed surveys of targets of interest.\n \nThis work contributes several novel methods that aim to enable autonomous search and survey for marine robotic systems. The first contribution of this work is a method that addresses the lack of training datasets for learning-based object identification in sonar imagery collected from robotic search missions. Specifically\, this work presents a method for shipwreck segmentation that is trained entirely in simulation and performs zero-shot shipwreck segmentation with no additional fine-tuning on real data. The second contribution is a diverse\, open-source dataset and benchmark for shipwreck segmentation in sonar imagery. This contribution establishes an open-source benchmark and enables future research in machine learning for ocean exploration. After an object is found\, operators may perform lower-altitude\, specialized survey patterns for imaging the object of interest. The third contribution is an adaptive surveying algorithm that plans more efficient re-inspections of detected targets using side scan sonar. This algorithm is a novel active perception method for side scan sonar that both chooses the next best view to maximize classifier performance and aggregates and classifies multiple views from an adaptive survey. Finally\, we develop a novel Gaussian splatting framework for close-range inspections using imaging sonar that demonstrates realistic novel view synthesis and models acoustic streaking phenomena. This method can enable synthetic data generation of realistic imaging sonar data for training deep learning models and additionally enables denoising of captured sonar data\, allowing for increased interpretability. The methods presented throughout this thesis are evaluated on real-world datasets collected from field work experiments using marine robotics platforms. This dissertation represents progress toward fully autonomous underwater systems that can operate with minimal human oversight in order to greatly accelerate search and survey missions for critical underwater applications.\n\nZoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97161696814 UID:134653-21874665@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134653 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:Ford Robotics Building - 2300 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250220T124023 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250421T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250421T140000 SUMMARY:Other:ELO | UMSI Poster Exposition 2025 DESCRIPTION:UMSI Exposition | Monday\, April 21\, 2025\n12pm - 2pm | Michigan League\n\nUMSI annually hosts a poster fair to exhibit the exceptional engaged learning work done by students through their courses\, student organizations\, co-curricular programs\, and independent endeavors.

The monarch migratory syndrome is complex\, integrating behavior\, morphology\, and physiology in an environmentally sensitive manner. Underlying this syndrome is an expansive genetic suite encompassing over 500 genes\, as well as a significant capacity for seasonally-sensitive phenotypic plasticity. The evolutionary histories of this genetic suite and capacity for seasonal plasticity remain largely unknown beyond within-monarch assessments.\nMonarch migration is an emerging model for testing broader hypotheses about the evolution of animal migration\, complex traits\, and the role of plasticity in adaptive evolution. A clearer understanding of how this spectacular phenomenon has emerged within just the past 20\,000 years is necessary to better contextualize evolutionary inferences drawn from this model. My dissertation research will focus on characterizing patterns of seasonal plasticity as well as migratory genetic and phenotypic variation within the butterfly genus Danaus. This work integrates comparative approaches in phylogenomics and developmental genetics to generate insights into how key features of the monarch migratory syndrome have evolved within the genus.

Such theta series give some of the first examples of automorphic forms.\n\nIt is possible to form \"theta series\" in other geometric contexts\, e.g. for counting problems involving abelian varieties.\nIt is expected that these theta series again have additional automorphic symmetry.\n\nI will explain some “near-central” instances of an arithmetic Siegel--Weil formula from Kudla’s program. These \"geometrize\" the classical Siegel--Weil formulas\, on lattice and lattice vector counting via Eisenstein series.\n\nAt these near-central points of functional symmetry\, we observe that both the \"leading\" special value (complex volumes) and the \"subleading\" first derivative (arithmetic volume) simultaneously have geometric meaning.\n\nThe key input is a new \"limit phenomenon\" relating positive characteristic intersection numbers and heights in mixed characteristic\, as well as its automorphic counterpart.

Bayesian inference is often used to map the inevitable degeneracies\, and the large amount of physics and wide parameter space means these codes are typically not fast. Yet current and near-future surveys of the universe will yield spectra for millions of galaxies and imaging for billions. I will discuss the tactics employed to speed up these codes\, ranging from neural net emulators of key physics (photoionization modeling\; stellar spectra) to efficient gradient enhanced GPU-accelerated high-dimensional sampling to rapid simulation-based inference. These yield speed-ups of somewhere between 100x and 100\,000x\, with unavoidable trade-offs in flexibility and accuracy. I will discuss applications of these techniques to model modern astronomical data\, including both industrial-scale modeling of galaxy SEDs and newly-possible directions such as spatially resolved galaxy modeling. Finally\, time permitting\, I will discuss some of the exciting new discoveries made with these techniques in the very distant universe seen by JWST.

There are individual attitudes (e.g.\, preference for burritos) that vary in strength (e.g.\, central to the self)\, resistance to change (e.g.\, unwavering in the face of dietary information)\, and their relationship with relevant behaviors (e.g.\, purchasing of burritos). This approach misses a key property of attitudes: Attitudes are interdependent. \n\nIn this talk\, Brandt focuses on recent research from my lab that studies how attitudes are dependent on other attitudes\, identities\, and values within a political belief system. He presents the findings that (1) central attitudes of a political belief systems are stronger\, being more stable overtime and more resistant to change and (2) that attitudes become moralized when they are connected with other moralized attitudes in the belief system. In combination\, these findings suggest that the interdependence of attitudes matters for attitude change and moralization. \n\nThe goal of Mark Brandt's research is to understand the causes and consequences of political\, religious\, and moral beliefs that can ultimately be leveraged to reduce conflict and promote a more fair\, just\, and free society. He studies ideological and moral beliefs – such as political ideology\, racism\, religious fundamentalism\, and moral conviction – and how they structure attitudes and behaviors\, how they become moralized\, and why people adopt them in the first place.\n\nDavid Dunning\, organizer of the Katz-Newcomb speaker series in Psychology and an associate of the Research Center for Group Dynamics\, hosts.

However\, many basic questions on their geometry remain open. In this talk\, we will shed light on the geometry of curve graphs by describing “filtrations” of them by hyperbolic graphs. These filtrations yield quasi-isometric disintegrations of curve graphs into trees. As a corollary\, we provide a new proof of finite asymptotic dimension of curve graphs. Finally\, we describe some useful aspects of the dynamics of the mapping class group actions on the graphs in the filtrations.

It turns out that many of the standard tools and results (e.g.\, compactness) either break or trivialize\, while new interesting phenomena arise. Indeed\, infinitary propositional logic is already quite interesting\, and is closely related to (in some sense\, equivalent to) topology. Moreover\, the interaction between propositional and first-order plays a central role in infinitary logic\, and leads to the application of tools from topology and group actions to model theory. This talk will survey a proper subset of these topics\, such as the Scott isomorphism theorem\, omitting types theorem\, and Lopez-Escobar theorem.

In this talk\, we pick up from the boundary measurement map to give a parametrization of points in the positroid. We will then introduce the twist automorphism\, which will connect the image of the boundary measurement map to the nonvanishing information given by face labels of a plabic graph. We will then give a combinatorial way of computing twisted face pluckers from \"minimal matchings\" of the plabic graph\, which will turn out to be invertible\, hence showing the boundary measurement map is an open inclusion into the positroid variety over complex numbers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n  UID:107870-21818097@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/107870 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Free,Humanities,Museum,Staff,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250421T112613 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250422T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250422T120000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:April IBL Lunch DESCRIPTION:Come talk about teaching with IBL\, interactive\, and other active teaching methods over lunch.

Unlike 3D counterparts\, layered magnets can be easily and rapidly exfoliated to yield ultra-thin magnets\, providing unique opportunities for both fundamental physics and new technologies. Furthermore\, these materials enable unprecedented experimental access to the ground states\, fundamental excitations\, and magnon dynamics\, as they are highly susceptible to external stimuli. In this talk\, I will present and discuss our recent findings in tuning the magnetic properties of quasi-2D layered van der Waals quantum magnets by intercalation\, photoexcitation\, proton irradiation\, and by the application of pressure. If time permits\, I will briefly discuss our recent efforts in solving the problems related to energy materials by employing magnetometry and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621576@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250422T102015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250422T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250422T120000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Winter '25 Coaching Corner Workshops DESCRIPTION:Coaching Corner workshops are for students connected with Student Accessibility & Accommodation Services (SAAS).

We introduce a model of quick-fixing. To study it empirically\, we field a novel survey that measures households’ consumption policy functions in response to income shocks. Almost 70% of households follow one of four simple quick-fixes that fully consume or fully save out of small shocks\, but they abruptly adjust their behavior for large shocks. This behavior accounts for almost half of the cross-sectional variance in marginal propensities to consume\, but is poorly predicted by other demographic and economic information. In an incomplete-markets model calibrated to match our evidence\, we find that quick-fixing is near-rational: the average opportunity cost of quick-fixing is only $17 per quarter. Yet\, this small\, empirically realistic deviation from the rational model significantly alters aggregate consumption responses to income shocks of varying sizes.

Nutritional Imperialism: How Science Turned Difference into Sickness in China DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Smith will argue that starting in the early twentieth century\, the acolytes of a new discipline called nutrition science began to research Chinese bodies and diets in ways that made them appear to be inherently deficient and even pathological. Seeking to explain the unequal power relations that underlay the imperialist world order\, both foreign and some Chinese scientists blamed the Chinese nation’s political weakness and poor health on bad food choices. Although the age of formal empires is past\, the traces of what she calls nutritional imperialism persist.\n \n Hilary A. Smith is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Denver. She writes about the history of science and medicine in China. She is the author of *Forgotten Disease: Illnesses Transformed in Chinese Medicine *(Stanford\, 2017) and is currently finishing a book about nutritional imperialism.

In collaboration with Dr. Liz DeBetta and Prof. RAsheda Young (Fulbright-Hays Fellow)\, the Diversity Scholars Network presents a dynamic two-part webinar engaging with the power of autoethnography as a practice of resistance and liberation.\n\nThis event brings together our presenters to explore how autoethnography\, counterstory\, and decolonial pedagogy disrupt oppressive structures in higher education. Drawing from Dr. DeBetta’s forthcoming book chapter\, Young’s work on how Ubuntu — \"I am because you are\" — shapes teaching practices that center radical love\, humanity\, and linguistic justice\, this session examines how storytelling\, embodied pedagogy\, and linguistic justice serve as tools for liberation. Rooted in Black feminist thought and decolonial frameworks\, this discussion challenges the erasure of marginalized voices and reimagines the classroom as a site of resistance and transformation.\n\nPart I – April 22: Radical Love\, Autoethnography\, and Decolonial Pedagogies — How can educators employ language and storytelling to resist colonial paradigms in higher education?​ Presentation by Professor RAsheda Young\n\nModerator:\n\nKeenan Colquitt\, Jr.\, Ph.D. - Program Manager for Diversity Scholar Engagement\n\nPanelist:\n\nProfessor RAsheda Young\, Assistant Teaching Professor for the Writing Program at Rutgers University\n\nPart II – April 23: Autoethnography and the Classroom as a Site of Resistance — How can feminist educators disrupt colonial paradigms and create inclusive\, anti-oppressive learning spaces?

This method also shows significant promise in addressing the global challenge of remediating per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. Viable electrocatalytic processes must use nonprecious materials\, operate in aqueous environments\, consume minimal energy\, and effectively eliminate harmful chemicals\, necessitating a deep understanding of mechanisms and the strategic design of nanocatalysts with controlled properties.\n\nOur research employs pulsed laser in liquids synthesis to develop nanocatalysts with precise surface chemistries\, facilitating a quantitative understanding of electrocatalytic processes\, especially within the electrode microenvironment. We have demonstrated that laser-made earth-abundant mixed-metal nanocatalysts on high-surface-area carbon supports can selectively electrooxidize toluene to benzyl alcohol with high activity. Additionally\, we achieved complete defluorination of various PFAS in aqueous electrolytes using laser-synthesized bimetallic nanocatalysts.\n\nThe unifying theme of our group is to advance the design and fabrication of nanocatalysts for the electrocatalytic generation of reactive species from water\, aimed at sustainable applications. This work is based on a detailed atomistic understanding of catalyst materials\, electrode microenvironments\, and electrocatalytic mechanisms\, with the ultimate goal of promoting environmentally friendly and scalable solutions for chemical manufacturing and water remediation.

The spectral properties of this model have been extensively studied\, and a spectral threshold has been identified: above this threshold\, the largest eigenvalue contains information about the signal\, while below it\, the eigenvalue is uninformative.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Over the last few years\, there has been a lot of interest in their natural higher analogues\, called k-Du Bois and k-rational singularities. These singularities have been extensively studied in the case of local complete intersection (lci) varieties but not much is known outside the lci case. In this thesis\, we prove some of the first results in this field beyond the lci setting\, with the main theorem being a higher analogue of a classical result of Kovács\, i.e. we prove that the class of varieties with k-Du Bois singularities contains the class of varieties with k-rational singularities\, which extends prior results of Mustaţă-Popa and Friedman-Laza in the lci setting.\n\nThe second part of the thesis concerns toric varieties\, which are a well studied class of algebraic varieties admitting alternate descriptions in terms of convex geometric objects in \mathbb{R}^n. We prove new local vanishing results on toric varieties and build on the techniques therein to give a precise formula relating the graded de Rham complex of the intersection cohomology Hodge module \IC^H_X to the stalks of the intersection cohomology perverse sheaf \IC_X\, when X is a toric variety.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621577@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240620T181506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250423T110200 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250423T170000 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).

In collaboration with Dr. Liz DeBetta and Prof. RAsheda Young (Fulbright-Hays Fellow)\, the Diversity Scholars Network presents a dynamic two-part webinar engaging with the power of autoethnography as a practice of resistance and liberation.\n\nThis event brings together our presenters to explore how autoethnography\, counterstory\, and decolonial pedagogy disrupt oppressive structures in higher education. Drawing from Dr. DeBetta’s forthcoming book chapter\, Young’s work on how Ubuntu — \"I am because you are\" — shapes teaching practices that center radical love\, humanity\, and linguistic justice\, this session examines how storytelling\, embodied pedagogy\, and linguistic justice serve as tools for liberation. Rooted in Black feminist thought and decolonial frameworks\, this discussion challenges the erasure of marginalized voices and reimagines the classroom as a site of resistance and transformation.\n\nPart I – April 22: Radical Love\, Autoethnography\, and Decolonial Pedagogies — How can educators employ language and storytelling to resist colonial paradigms in higher education?​ Presentation by Professor RAsheda Young\n\nModerator:\n\nKeenan Colquitt\, Jr.\, Ph.D. - Program Manager for Diversity Scholar Engagement\n\nPanelist:\n\nProfessor RAsheda Young\, Assistant Teaching Professor for the Writing Program at Rutgers University\n\nPart II – April 23: Autoethnography and the Classroom as a Site of Resistance — How can feminist educators disrupt colonial paradigms and create inclusive\, anti-oppressive learning spaces?

For any probability measure $\mu$ on the space of $C^2$ diffeomorphisms on $M$\, and verifying certain conditions (\"hyperbolicity\" and \"almost volume preserving\")\, we show that any $\mu$-stationary SRB measure is absolutely continuous with respect to the ambient Haar measure.

BUCHA directed by Stanislav Tiunov DESCRIPTION:*BUCHA* is based on the true story of an unlikely hero and refugee from Kazakhstan who\, in the spring of 2022\, risked his life to save hundreds of Ukrainians in Bucha and other cities and towns occupied by Russian troops. Konstantin Gudauskas\, a Lithuanian Jew born in Kazakhstan\, is living in Bucha where he was granted asylum by Ukraine. After the Russian invasion begins on February 24th\, 2022\, Konstantin is able to travel freely to the occupied territories and evacuate civilians thanks to his Kazakhstani passport. Over the following months\, he saves more than 200 people by leading them to safety and freedom\, and he observes first-hand the horrors of war and atrocities of the Russian occupation. Among those rescued by Konstantin is the famous Ukrainian composer Igor Poklad. Throughout this time\, he is advised and guided by Gaide Rizaeva\, a Crimean Tatar and employee of the GUR (Main Intelligence Directorate)\, who was twice held captive by Russian separatists and was on death row before escaping. She helps Konstantin\, but when he stops listening to her advice\, tragedy strikes.\n \n Trailer https://vimeo.com/1001322770/23ae970227\n \n Free and open to the public.

There is poet Cheryl\, writer of some of the prettiest\, most alluring and intelligent ballads on the modern folk scene. And there is her evil twin\, comic Cheryl\, a trend defier and savagely funny social critic. The result is a series of delightful contrasts\, for really Cheryl Wheeler is a woman of many musical personalities—heart-wrenching romantic balladeer\, marvelous observational humorist\, poet of ordinary New England scenes and people\, committed activist\, irascible grump. Cheryl’s special guest tonight is her frequent partner in crime\, New York songwriter Kenny White.

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.

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.

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.

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.
