Dedicated to the fallen Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov\, the exhibit’s title is borrowed from one of his poems. Exploring the role of empathy and humanity in the times of crisis\, Ukrainian and American artists Katya Lisova (textiles)\, Matvii Vaisberg (prints)\, and Ira Bondarenko (ceramics) reflect on the power and limits of human agency in the face of overwhelming force. The value of humanity lies in its capacity to transcend adversity by embracing compassion and keeping empathy and human connection alive in the most oppressive darkness. The project examines this concept through the lens of Ukrainian artists and poets and emphasizes the role of ordinary people in building resilience and saving the country.\n\nThe exhibition\, which will be displayed in the University of Michigan’s Duderstadt Center Gallery from September 14-October 5\, 2025\, was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) also provided support for the project. \n \n Image: *Fly* by Katya Lisova\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now\, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year\, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art &\; Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students\, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building\, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path—experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg\, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZoë Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena García-Murguía\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n UID:137111-21879691@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137111 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250904T104107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250929T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250929T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints. \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom.

This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

These spectra yield excellent radial velocity precision (~1-10km/s for most stars)\, as well as abundances for ~10 elements. In conjunction with proper motions from ESO's Gaia satellite\, the six-dimensional phase space information being collected by DESI will enable us to set constraints on the Milky Way halo's global dark matter density profile and shape. We are also constraining the central and outer dark matter density profiles of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group. In addition we are exhaustively surveying several stellar tidal streams in the Milky Way with the goal of constraining the mass function and central density profiles of dark matter subhalos. I will describe some recent results and future plans of DESI's Milky Way working group. I will also briefly describe some on-going theoretical projects that will enable us to measure figure rotation (tumbling) of the Milky Way's dark matter halo - one of the few dynamical properties consistently predicted for Lambda CDM.

Darby Saxbe et al find that men show cortical volume decreases that are similar to those seen in mothers\, but are less significant and more variable. They also show that when men express more motivation to parent\, and more engagement in parenting\, they show larger gray matter volume decreases. At the same time\, gray matter volume decreases are associated with more postpartum mental health problems and poor sleep quality. The talk will also describe research on perinatal resting state connectivity and white matter changes in men\, and functional studies on men reacting to infant stimuli and emotional faces.\n\nDarby Saxbe\, PhD\, is Professor of Psychology at the University of Southern California\, where she serves as the current Director of Clinical Training for the Clinical Science program. She has published over eighty scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals\, and her research has been funded by major awards from both NIH and NSF. She has earned early career recognition from the American Psychological Association and the Society for Research in Child Development and was a Fulbright fellow to Spain in 2019.\n\nAbout the series:\n\nHumans are social animals and from the earliest days of life\, are dependent on the quality of social relationships with significant others: family\, kin\, friends\, and a growing social network of online acquaintances. But\, how do we conduct research and come to understand the social processes transpiring in these significant social connections with others? What are the consequences for individual development and mental health outcomes of having close intimate relationships in one’s life? There is also a darker side to some relationships in the form of violence\, aggression\, and conflict. How do we study these processes? Social media and artificial intelligence have opened up new ways of thinking about “what is a social relationship?” and how many of these “friends” can one truly have. \n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on different types of social relationships\, spanning family and parent-child relationships\, friendships\, peer networks\, romantic relationships\, attachment relationships\, and the use of online media to maintain social connections. Although several speakers are senior scholars with extensive research backgrounds in the field\, many are junior scholars who are traversing new paths into the science of social relationships. Please join us Mondays to learn more about the exciting field of social relationships!\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Brenda Volling and Richard Gonzalez.\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

There exists a small average difference in QT interval length between women and men. Connected with the widely publicized downfall of the blockbuster drug Seldane in the 1990s\, women’s purportedly prolonged QT interval became a touchstone example of the potentially deadly consequences of conducting drug testing only in men.\n\nRevisiting the canonical story of the QT interval\, Seldane\, and sex differences in adverse drug events\, this talk examines this iconic sex difference fact in the history of women’s health and drug safety testing. Applying a sex contextualist framework (Richardson 2022)\, I show how contextual judgments about whether and when sex is relevant occur all along the pathway of reasoning about how to best predict the safety profile of a drug\, including when designing model systems in non-human animals\, in vitro\, and in silico screens.\n\nSarah Richardson is Aramont Professor of the History of Science and Professor of Studies of Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality at Harvard University\, where she has taught since 2010.

The Steinberg module is an important representation of the General Linear Group that helps study its cohomology\, and can be defined in terms of a certain simplicial complex. We will build up towards defining this complex and proving the Solomon-Tits theorem that shows it is highly connected. If time permits\, we shall also see a construction by Lee-Szczarba that builds a resolution of the Steinberg module by analyzing a simplicial complex.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now\, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year\, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art &\; Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students\, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building\, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path—experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg\, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZoë Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena García-Murguía\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n UID:137111-21879692@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137111 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250904T104107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250930T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250930T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints. \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

I answer this in two steps. First\, using a comprehensive dataset of Italian manufacturing firms from 1999-2019\, I find that a one percentage point increase in the sectoral wage floor is associated with a 0.28 percentage point contraction in firm-level investment and a 0.21 percentage point contraction in firm-level employment. These effects are highly heterogeneous and indicative of a role for financial frictions: Small\, highly leveraged firms experience contractions three times larger than those of large\, low-leverage firms. To understand the mechanisms behind this and quantify aggregate effects\, I develop a model where overlapping generations of heterogeneous firms face both collateral constraints and industry-wide wage floors. Calibrated to Italy's 25 percent unit labor cost increase between 2000-2015\, the model predicts aggregate contractions in manufacturing investment (3.5 percent)\, employment (2.1 percent)\, and real GDP (1.9 percent). A decomposition reveals that financial frictions amplify the direct effects of wage rigidity by approximately 30 percent through an interaction effect. The results highlight how labor market institutions and financial frictions can interact to generate persistent effects on firm dynamics and aggregate performance.

Dedicated to the fallen Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov\, the exhibit’s title is borrowed from one of his poems. Exploring the role of empathy and humanity in the times of crisis\, Ukrainian and American artists Katya Lisova (textiles)\, Matvii Vaisberg (prints)\, and Ira Bondarenko (ceramics) reflect on the power and limits of human agency in the face of overwhelming force. The value of humanity lies in its capacity to transcend adversity by embracing compassion and keeping empathy and human connection alive in the most oppressive darkness. The project examines this concept through the lens of Ukrainian artists and poets and emphasizes the role of ordinary people in building resilience and saving the country.\n\nThe exhibition\, which will be displayed in the University of Michigan’s Duderstadt Center Gallery from September 14-October 5\, 2025\, was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) also provided support for the project. \n \n Image: *Fly* by Katya Lisova\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

One such group of genes in the class insecta are the pigmentation genes. My project will focus on understanding how tissue-specific regulation of pigmentation genes underlies variation in mating signals in Drosophila. Specifically\, I will investigate three interrelated themes: (1) how pigmentation genes influence mating behavior\, (2) the evolutionary consequences of pleiotropy across species and (3) the tissue-specific regulatory architecture that enables modular gene function. This project will identify which regulatory modules influence chemistry\, colour\, or both\, providing empirical evidence for how modularity mitigates pleiotropic constraints. Additionally\, comparative analysis in the D. americana group—where pigmentation and CHC divergence might contribute to incipient speciation —will place functional results in a macro-evolutionary context\, asking whether the same pleiotropic variants are repeatedly recruited or whether selection favours lineage-specific solutions.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nNew evidence drawing on data from millions of U.S. workers reveals that workplace wellbeing is a critical driver of productivity\, retention\, talent attraction\, and ultimately\, profitability\, even though it is often dismissed as a “nice-to-have” perk. In this session\, Dr. George Ward will share research from his recent book\, \"Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters: The Science Behind Employee Happiness and Organizational Performance\" (Harvard Business Review Press\, 2025)\, and highlight how organizations shape both how people think about their jobs and how they feel while doing them. He believes it’s time to take happiness seriously.\n\nUsing insights from the world’s largest dataset on employee wellbeing—collected in partnership with Indeed and spanning millions of workers across industries and countries—this session will discuss why workplace wellbeing goes far beyond individualized wellness programs. Instead\, wellbeing should be seen as a core organizational capability\, fundamentally shaped by how work is designed and managed. Join us to learn how organizations can foster employee happiness\, and how these choices may translate into performance gains for companies that prioritize their people’s wellbeing.\n\nAbout Ward: \nGeorge Ward is an Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD. He earned his PhD from MIT’s Sloan School of Management and was subsequently the Mary Ewart Junior Research Fellow in Economics at Somerville College\, University of Oxford. He has published widely in leading academic journals across economics\, psychology\, and management\, and is the coauthor of Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters (Harvard Business Review Press) and The Origins of Happiness (Princeton University Press). His work focuses on the study of human wellbeing\, using Big Data and cutting-edge statistical techniques to address pressing challenges in business and public policy.\n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

We argue that by ignoring the multigenerational effects of variance in ancestors' harvests\, we are underestimating the contribution of modern economic growth to the escape from early death at older ages. Using a newly constructed multigenerational dataset for Sweden\, we show that grandsons' longevity was strongly linked to spatial shocks in paternal grandfathers' yearly harvest variability when agricultural productivity was low and market integration was limited. We reason that an epigenetic mechanism is the most plausible explanation for our findings. We posit that the removal of trade barriers\, improvements in transportation\, and agricultural innovation reduced harvest variability. We contend that for older Swedish men (but not women) born 1830-1909 this reduction was as important as decreasing contemporaneous infectious disease rates and more important than eliminating exposure to poor harvests in-utero.

This talk surveys how these knobs enable qualitatively new regimes in quantum materials\, with two complementary thrusts that bridge fundamental discovery and deployable technology.\n\nPart I: Ultrafast and moiré engineering. We show how terahertz (THz) fields provide a dynamic\, non-contact gate to steer charge\, spin\, and surface morphology at sub-Å length scales and femtosecond timescales\, enabling reversible\, ultrafast control of surface topology and interfacial potentials. [1] We then present design rules for controlling band topology\, excitonic structure\, and interlayer hybridization in 2D bilayers and heterostructures\, using twist angle and stacking registry as primary control parameters. [2\, 3]\n\nPart II: Quantum materials as precision sensors for fundamental symmetries. We outline a solid-state platform that couples diamond colour centres to rare\, octupole-deformed nuclei to search for symmetry-violating electric dipole moments (EDMs) beyond the Standard Model. [4] Our quantum calculations indicates that substituting 229Pa into a carbon-vacancy site yields deep-gap\, molecule-like states with narrow optical transitions and long spin coherence\, amenable to high-fidelity readout. Isoelectronic lanthanide proxies (e.g.\, Pr3+\, Tb3+) provide non-radioactive testbeds for growth and spectroscopy prior to implantation. The resulting roadmap links rare-isotope production (e.g.\, FRIB) with nanophotonic integration and laser control to create scalable\, solid-state quantum sensors for EDM searches\, nuclear clock development\, and time-reversal tests.\n\nOutlook. By uniting moiré design\, ultrafast field control\, and defect–nucleus co-engineering\, we propose a materials-by-design paradigm that both honors and extends a century of quantum science\; advancing ultrafast electronics while opening precision windows onto new physics.\n\nReferences\n\n[1] V.

Its cohomology is important in many fields. For example\, the cohomology of M_g is the same as the cohomology of the mapping class group\, and is also related to spaces of modular forms. Using its properties as a moduli space\, Mumford defined a distinguished subring of the cohomology of M_g called the tautological ring. The definition of the tautological ring was later extended to the compactification M_g-bar and the moduli spaces with marked points M_{g\,n}-bar. While the full cohomology ring of M_{g\,n}-bar is quite mysterious\, the tautological subring is relatively well understood\, and conjecturally completely understood. In this talk\, I'll discuss several results about the cohomology groups of M_{g\,n}-bar\, particularly regarding when they are tautological or not. This is joint work with Samir Canning\, Sam Payne\, and Thomas Willwacher.\n\nBio: Hannah Larson is an Assistant Professor and Clay Research Fellow at University of California\, Berkeley. She received her PhD from Stanford University\, where she was advised by Ravi Vakil. Her research centers around algebraic curves and their moduli spaces and has been recognized with a 2024 Maryam Mirzakhani New Frontiers Prize.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now\, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year\, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art &\; Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students\, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building\, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path—experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg\, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZoë Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena García-Murguía\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n UID:137111-21879693@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137111 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250904T104107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251001T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251001T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints. \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

However\, not all households function the same. Given the existent strains on families (e.g.\, inequity including racism and sexism)\, low-income students’ households provide students differential access to physical (e.g.\, computers)\, social (e.g.\, homework help)\, and emotional resources (e.g.\, support of mental health). For related reasons\, particularly that basic needs missingness creates more dire household situations\, low-income students are more likely to be impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). I claim that “household functioning\,” including ACEs\, can influence how low-income engineering students perceive themselves in relation to engineering\, such as through their sense of belonging. A sense of belonging is known to be central to engineering students’ success\, more so for low-income students in engineering. In this talk\, I will present my thoughts on household functioning and why I think it should be considered an important factor in our discussions of engineering students\, especially those from low-income backgrounds. In my discussion\, I provide insight into findings from my past and present work related to the topic.

Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries\, stereotypes and associationsmisuse\, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat\, reiterate\, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive\, fantastic\, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art &\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan. She recently moved back to the forest she calls home in Southeastern Ohio\, where she serves as Exhibitions Director at The Dairy Barn Arts Center\, hunts for mushrooms with her toddler\, and makes quilts.

Dedicated to the fallen Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov\, the exhibit’s title is borrowed from one of his poems. Exploring the role of empathy and humanity in the times of crisis\, Ukrainian and American artists Katya Lisova (textiles)\, Matvii Vaisberg (prints)\, and Ira Bondarenko (ceramics) reflect on the power and limits of human agency in the face of overwhelming force. The value of humanity lies in its capacity to transcend adversity by embracing compassion and keeping empathy and human connection alive in the most oppressive darkness. The project examines this concept through the lens of Ukrainian artists and poets and emphasizes the role of ordinary people in building resilience and saving the country.\n\nThe exhibition\, which will be displayed in the University of Michigan’s Duderstadt Center Gallery from September 14-October 5\, 2025\, was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) also provided support for the project. \n \n Image: *Fly* by Katya Lisova\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

However\, these field theories are difficult in their own right\, and to make progress on them we need new non-perturbative methods. I will describe a general technique for combining the conformal bootstrap method with constraints from supersymmetric localization. This dramatically improves the ability of the bootstrap to constrain holographic theories. I will describe results for N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory\, for which this technique enables qualitatively new studies of observables as a function of the Yang-Mills coupling. I will also describe substantial improvements in the bootstrap of 3D ABJM theory\, which enables a precise numerical study of higher-derivative corrections in M-theory.

Training that focuses too heavily on practical applications may skip over foundational concepts\, such as sampling theory\, error reduction\, or bias minimization. Without these foundations\, researchers might design surveys that overlook important methodological considerations\, potentially compromising data quality in ways that negatively affect insights and decision-making. At the same time\, strong training programs often teach sophisticated survey methods (e.g.\, stratified sampling\, regression analysis\, psychometric scaling) that are used in academic or governmental research\, but are impractical or overly complex in most industry contexts without adaptation to the time and cost constraints often present. A middle ground of training is often missing--one that trains researchers on how to adapt or simplify these more complex methodologies for practical use in the real world and how to make them accessible without sacrificing quality. The presenter will discuss the holes often seen in hiring trained survey researchers and the complimentary development that is necessary to bring them up to speed to be successful industry practitioners.\n\nCurtiss Cobb is a Vice President of Research at Meta where he leads the Demography and Survey Science Team\, a quantitative focused research team that works across Meta to identify and share best practices and methodological innovations in demographic and survey research.

Are these statistical flukes or hints of new physics? Luckily\, new cosmological datasets are an embarrassment of riches--in particular the combination of maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and DESI’s 3D map of 50 million galaxies. First\, I'll show how we measure structure growth (from initial seeds to galaxy clusters) with the subtle distortions imprinted on the CMB as it is gravitationally lensed by foreground galaxies. I used this technique to achieve cutting-edge precision (<2% errors) on structure growth\, and found no evidence for tension with the standard model. Second\, I developed a new method to measure the Hubble constant by directly inferring the Universe’s total energy density\, calibrated using the baryon oscillation amplitude in galaxy clustering. I will show the first application of this method to BOSS and DESI-DR1 data\, and its potential to resolve the Hubble tension with future DESI and Euclid data. Finally\, I will discuss some other avenues for discovery with DESI: detection (or not?) of cosmological parity violation\; finding the sources of the unresolved gamma-ray background (near and low-mass or distant and high-mass)\; and lastly the status of the search for dark energy.

When Enslaved Men Could Sue Their Masters and Win: A Case from Nineteenth-Century Egypt DESCRIPTION:This presentation deals with a case preserved in the Egyptian National Archives that dates from 1858. The case deals with a dramatic case of twenty-seven enslaved men working in an estate belonging to a member of Egypt’s ruling family suing one of the high officials of the estate for beating to death one of the colleagues. The case offers fascinating details of the familiarity of these enslaved men with the law\, and specifically with the decisive role forensic medicine played in the budding Egyptian criminal legal system. The case also casts light on the enslaved men’s conception of justice\, the law and the state.\n \n Khaled Fahmy is Edward Keller Professor of North Africa and the Middle East at Tufts University. He is a historian of the modern Middle East with specifical emphasis on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Egypt.

These L-parameters are in general difficult to describe\, and classifying the representations in the corresponding \"L-packet\" can be quite tricky. However\, in the case of a particularly nice class of representations called toral supercuspidal representations\, Kaletha has shown that it is possible to write down the local Langlands correspondence quite explicitly. The goal of this talk is to state Kaletha's classification of toral supercuspidal L-parameters and parametrization of their corresponding L-packets\, and (time permitting) compute an example for a small group. I will begin by discussing the (refined) local Langlands conjecture in general\, then briefly review the theory of supercuspidal representations (including Yu's construction) before focusing on the toral supercuspidal setting. The main reference for this talk is Kaletha's 2017 paper \"Regular Supercuspidal representations.\" UID:139972-21886442@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139972 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 3088 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250813T114107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251001T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251001T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Carbon Dioxide: the Untapped Resource Surrounding Us DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join a round table discussion\, held as part of University of Michigan's ClimateWeek🍃\, with experts from four universities: The Ohio State University\, Michigan State University\, Western Michigan University\, and the University of Michigan.\n\nAlthough their universities may be rivals on an athletic field 🏈\, these researchers are coming together to demonstrate the importance of collaboration when it comes to addressing climate change. 🌎 \n\nIn this webinar\, you will learn about hashtag#carbon hashtag#capture and hashtag#utilization:\n\n ✅ a basic explanation and overview\,\n ✅ potential to deliver economic and sustainability benefits\,\n ✅ what work is currently being done in the field\, \n ✅ the opportunities it presents\, and\n ✅ drawbacks\, limitations\, and barriers.\n\nDon't miss this unique opportunity to learn about carbon capture and utilization's potential benefits\, challenges\, and cutting edge research developments first hand from the experts❗ UID:137458-21880304@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137458 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Carbon Neutrality,carbon reduction,climate,Climate Change,Engineering,Free,Sustainability,Virtual LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250908T160052 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251001T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251001T163000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Catalyzing Connections: Climate\, Health & Research for Impact DESCRIPTION:Catalyzing Connections: Climate\, Health & Research for Impact brings together University of Michigan faculty and staff from diverse disciplines to explore the vital intersection of climate and health.

On the flip side\, long-term persistent VLF transmission has been identified as a likely source of electron losses and may be entirely responsible for the existence of a depleted radiation belt slot region. This highlights the dual nature of humanity’s presence in space — creator and destroyer\, influencer and observer. As we become progressively more active in space\, particularly through frequent space launches and the mass population of low earth orbit\, the character of the natural environment is itself starting to change in response to our activity. The presence and composition of debris in LEO is a high-profile example\, but far from the only one. Electromagnetics\, chemistry\, and plasma physics throughout the domain of human activity are being changed\, sometimes in surprising ways. In this talk\, I will take a holistic look at the growing impact of human activity on the space environment and potential future implications for both science and society.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nJesse Woodroffe leads the Space Sciences and Applications Group (ISR-1) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) where he has overseen a portfolio work related to space-based plasma and charged particle sensing since joining LANL in 2023. From 2021-2023\, he was a program scientist at NASA Headquarters where he oversaw the research component of the NASA space weather research program. Other prior work includes serving a consultant on the space environment for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (2019-2021)\, and as a researcher at LANL investigating space weather impacts to the power grid. Jesse received his BA in physics from Augsburg College in 2003 and his PhD in physics from the University of Minnesota in 2010.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person\, with livestream in Zoom.

The classical Brill-Noether theorem (established by work of Eisenbud\, Fulton\, Geiseker\, Griffiths\, Harris\, Lazarsfeld) describes the geometry of this space of maps when C is a general curve. However\, the theorem fails for special curves\, notably curves that are already equipped with some unexpected map to a projective space. The first case of this is when C is a low-degree cover of the projective line. For general such covers\, the Hurwitz-Brill-Noether theorem (joint with E. Larson and I. Vogt) provides a suitable analogue. I'll also present recent results (joint with S. Vemulapalli) regarding the next natural case: when C is equipped with an embedding in the projective plane.

DESCRIPTION:In this talk we propose a calculus of variations approach to an optimal consumption problem with isoelastic preferences over an infinite horizon. Specifically we consider a complete market with a single state variable on which all model coefficients can depend. Under some mild assumptions we characterise the value function as the unique solution to a convex variational problem which is far more amenable to numerical methods. This approach circumvents the need to solve the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. This is a desirable situation as explicitly solving the HJB equation is often intractable and even numerics cannot be readily employed due to the lack of boundary conditions. We illustrate the utility of this approach by providing examples of models which cannot be solved using existing methods in the literature but can be solved using our approach. Additionally we highlight how this approach may be extended to solve similar optimisation problems in incomplete markets.

Time permitting\, I will sketch how these ideas can be used to resolve the Beck–Fiala conjecture for k >=(log n)^2.

A natural question is how quickly the measure of the exceptional set decays\; this leads to the study of large deviations. In this talk\, we present large deviation estimates for diagonal actions on the space of lattices and discuss an application to the effective uniqueness of the measure of maximal entropy. This is an ongoing joint work with Elon Lindenstrauss and Ron Mor.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now\, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year\, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art &\; Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students\, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building\, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path—experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg\, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZoë Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena García-Murguía\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n UID:137111-21879694@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137111 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250904T104107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251002T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251002T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints. \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries\, stereotypes and associationsmisuse\, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat\, reiterate\, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive\, fantastic\, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art &\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan.

Dedicated to the fallen Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov\, the exhibit’s title is borrowed from one of his poems. Exploring the role of empathy and humanity in the times of crisis\, Ukrainian and American artists Katya Lisova (textiles)\, Matvii Vaisberg (prints)\, and Ira Bondarenko (ceramics) reflect on the power and limits of human agency in the face of overwhelming force. The value of humanity lies in its capacity to transcend adversity by embracing compassion and keeping empathy and human connection alive in the most oppressive darkness. The project examines this concept through the lens of Ukrainian artists and poets and emphasizes the role of ordinary people in building resilience and saving the country.\n\nThe exhibition\, which will be displayed in the University of Michigan’s Duderstadt Center Gallery from September 14-October 5\, 2025\, was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) also provided support for the project. \n \n Image: *Fly* by Katya Lisova\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

Since March 2023\, he has been a tenure-track assistant professor in the Institute of Mathematics and the Institute of Materials at EPFL. His current research spans broadly in the field of materials simulations concerning numerical error control and uncertainty quantification of first-principle simulations\, as well as the propagation of such errors during inverse materials design or when training machine learning models.\n\nAbstract: Reliable algorithmic differentiation techniques offer great promise for the inverse design of materials and functionals\, as well as the propagating uncertainties from functionals to DFT quantities of interest. Over the past years\, considerable effort has been spent on equipping the density-functional toolkit (DFTK\, https://dftk.org) with algorithmic differentiation capabilities. Prof. Herbst will present some of the required algorithmic developments\, e.g. to efficiently compute such DFT derivatives in numerically challenging metallic systems. Furthermore\, he will highlight the conceptual difficulties associated with applying AD to plane-wave DFT and discuss our recent results\, which demonstrate the current state of AD in DFTK for error estimation\, inverse design\, and implementing new functionality.

Insight into the optimal policy value can guide the development of reward-maximizing\, individualized treatment regimes. However\, because the functional that defines the optimal value is non-differentiable\, standard semi-parametric approaches for performing inference fail to be directly applicable. Existing approaches for handling this non-differentiability fall roughly into two camps. In one camp are estimators based on constructing smooth approximations of the optimal value. These approaches are computationally lightweight\, but typically place unrealistic parametric assumptions on outcome regressions. In another camp are approaches that directly de-bias the non-smooth objective. These approaches don't place parametric assumptions on nuisance functions\, but they either require the computation of intractably-many nuisance estimates\, assume unrealistic nuisance convergence rates\, or make strong margin assumptions that prohibit non-response to a treatment. In this paper\, we revisit the problem of constructing smooth approximations of non-differentiable functionals. By carefully controlling first-order bias and second-order remainders\, we show that a softmax smoothing-based estimator can be used to estimate parameters that are specified as a maximum of scores involving nuisance components. In particular\, this includes the value of the optimal treatment policy as a special case. Our estimator obtains convergence rates\, avoids parametric restrictions/unrealistic margin assumptions\, and is often statistically efficient.

While its clinical benefits are well documented\, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Due to the anatomical and cellular heterogeneity of brain tissue\, DBS can modulate diverse neuronal elements and circuits at and around the stimulation site\, many of which may not directly contribute to therapeutic effects. Moreover\, conventional DBS systems typically operate in open-loop mode\, delivering fixed stimulation parameters regardless of patient state or neural activity. Identifying the specific circuits that mediate therapeutic benefits is therefore critical for refining target selection and developing next-generation treatment strategies. Optogenetics provides a powerful tool to overcome the nonselective nature of DBS by enabling cell-type specific modulation of neural populations. By integrating optogenetic interventions with electrophysiological recordings\, computational modeling\, and behavioral assays in preclinical models of PD\, our work seeks to dissect the circuit-level mechanisms underlying DBS and systematically evaluate how modulation of defined neural pathways alleviates parkinsonian motor symptoms. In addition\, I will introduce our recent efforts toward the development and preclinical evaluation of closed-loop DBS systems\, which dynamically adjust stimulation in response to ongoing neural and behavioral states. Together\, these approaches aim to advance both our mechanistic understanding of DBS and the design of more effective\, adaptive neuromodulation therapies for PD.

Data centers alone are projected to consume 12% of U.S. electricity by 2030—triple today’s share—driven by AI and digital transformation. Add to this the impacts of electrification and manufacturing reshoring\, and the nation must prepare for an additional 130–150 GW of load by 2029\, according to the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).\nMeeting this demand securely and affordably requires a broad\, inclusive energy strategy. We cannot rely on a single preferred energy source. Instead\, we must integrate existing large-scale resources—nuclear and fossil—with other energy options such as geothermal\, water power\, biomass\, renewables\, and advanced nuclear reactors to meet growing needs for electricity\, heat\, and cooling\, as well as the critical materials to build these systems.\nINL is advancing this vision through the proposed Energy Technology Proving Ground\, a first-of-its-kind facility designed to scale\, integrate\, and demonstrate multiple energy systems for commercial adoption. Initial large-scale hydrogen production tests will launch this fall\, with future work extending to synthetic fuels and chemicals powered by nuclear and renewables.\nBy accelerating the transition from lab innovation to marketplace deployment\, Idaho National Laboratory aims to drive U.S. energy resilience\, sustainability\, and global leadership in an era of unprecedented demand.\n\nBio:\nAs the Associate Laboratory Director of Energy and Environment Science and Technology at Idaho National Laboratory (INL)\, Shannon oversees a team of over 350 staff dedicated to a resilient\, affordable\, and diverse energy agenda.

By this I mean that grappling with timbre is understood both to be a corrective to scholarship that has woefully ignored timbre and that attention to timbre is understood to bring us\, as listeners and scholars\, closer to some sort of sonic reality. The burgeoning subfield of timbre studies has been slow to reach chamber music\, and especially the Enlightenment-era string quartet. This lacuna is revealing: it gestures to the ways in which the string quartet has pointedly bypassed questions of timbre. The quartet has been held up as one of the paragons of “pure music” while scholars and critics have stressed questions of the genre’s “internal logic” and the interrelatedness of its musical elements (Bent 1994). For many\, the quartet is cerebral\, absolute\, and belongs to the “non-material world of the mind” (Dahlhaus 1991). This is not simply the product of later nineteenth-century formalist thought but has a longer history that is bound up with early writing on the quartet as a genre. Petiscus\, writing on the quartet in 1810\, declared that “the essential beauty of music lies not in [the] mere physical power of tone” (Petiscus 1810). Though this discourse does not necessarily name timbre\, the quartet has long been defined against music’s more material existence: it has been a space of “timbrelessness.” One inviting musicological move here would be to unmask all of this as ineluctably timbral. One could argue that timbre was ultimately vital to the instrumental blend of the quartet and that the “timbrelessness” of the quartet is intimately tied to ideas of timbral superiority and perfection associated with string instruments in the early nineteenth century. Tracing the quirky reception of Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 10 in E-flat major\, Op. 74\, this essay considers how this particular quartet reveals the implicit timbral constraints that governed the behavior of string instruments in the genre of the string quartet\, inviting us to consider how listening past timbre has its own valuable history and learned audile techniques.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nEMILY I.

Antonaras—a specialist in the history of glass\, jewelry\, and textiles and an archaeologist\, curator\, and director of communication and visitor reception at the Museum of Byzantine Culture\, Thessaloniki\, Greece.\n\nHow did glass move from being a rare luxury in pharaonic Egypt to an everyday material in the Roman and Byzantine world? The turning point was the invention of glassblowing on the Syro-Palestinian coast in the 1st century BC\, which made production faster\, cheaper\, and more versatile. Massive workshops in the eastern Mediterranean supplied raw glass across the empire\, where local artisans transformed it into drinking cups\, perfume flasks\, jewelry\, mosaics\, and window panes. In the Late Roman and Early Byzantine periods\, glass not only served daily needs but also acquired new roles in Christian life: churches gleamed with glittering mosaics\, windows filled sacred spaces with light\, and glass lamps illuminated worship. This talk follows glass on its journey—from the furnaces of the Levant to households\, churches\, and monumental architecture—showing how one innovation reshaped both everyday experience and spiritual expression.\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) Lectures are free and open to the public. This event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall. Light refreshments and food will be provided at 5:30 PM\, with the lecture starting at 6:00 PM.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.

Hudson (Legendary Monica Revlon) was born in the Jefferies Projects of Detroit Michigan. I was raised and grew up on Detroit's Eastside Mack & Bewick and 7mile area. While attending High School\, I found myself joining the INFINITI Project in 1997. The INFINITI Project was a major part of my life for it taught me life values and also guided me through my confusion of who I was. After graduating high school\, I took what I learned from the INFINITI PROJECT and utilized it to help others. This is where my participation in Community Services came into play. In 1999 I volunteered for Men Of Color Motivational Group for 3yrs before being hired as a Community Peer Educator before being promoted to Prevention Specialist in 2002. From that very point I found my purpose in my community and that was to Educate\, Assist\, Advocate and Help my community from which I have been doing with the help of Community Based Organizations but also without the help and will continue to do so until my heart stops. In 2011 I began a journey with the Ruth Ellis Center during that time I joined forces with some amazing women and became one of the Founding Mothers Of The Trans Sista Of Color Project where they do a phenomenal job with assisting Trans Women Of Color with emergency assistance. Currently I'm employed at Matrix Human Services as The PrEP Navigator\, Heard Family Funeral Home as the LGBTQIA+ Liaison and the Vice President Of Detroit Black Pride Society INC. First Black Transwoman To Co-chair Michigan HIV/AIDS Council\, Recipient Of Michigan’s Home Health Hero Award and Tribute From Governor Whitmer and The State\, Legendary Monica Revlon is a legendary figure in the ballroom scene\, making waves since 1997 With a career spanning over two decades\, Monica has produced and mentored numerous legends and icons in the Ballroom Community from state to state. As a transgender drag entertainer\, she has been dazzling audiences with her performances since 2002 as Monica Devereaux. Inspired by the iconic queens of drag culture\, Monica also embodies the spirit of confidence\, inclusivity\, and joy that defines this vibrant community. As a performer\, Monica aims to inspire audiences with her charisma\, talent\, and dedication to the craft.\n\nFIND MORE LGBT HISTORY MONTH EVENTS\nhttps://spectrumcenter.umich.edu/lgbt-history-month\n\nFIND MORE SPECTRUM CENTER EVENTS\nhttps://spectrumcenter.umich.edu/events UID:136292-21878404@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/136292 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:LGBT,LGBTQ History Month LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Towsley Studio CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251002T120358 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251002T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251002T190000 SUMMARY:Meeting:October LGBTQ+ Nursing Meeting DESCRIPTION:Join us for some Halloween coloring as we discuss the progress of our semester-long projects!

By using clock imagery\, circular staging\, and interruptions in the flow of time\, we create a theatrical experience that immerses the audience in the complexities of history\, where time advances\, pauses\, and sometimes even reverses.\n\nWard's play\, *Day of Absence*\, is set in an imaginary Southern town where all the Black residents suddenly vanish. This powerful work explores the impact of racial absence in modern society. First performed in 1965\, it highlights how white communities depend on Black labor and depicts the chaos that erupts when all Black residents disappear.\n\nCONTENT ADVISORY\n\n*Day of Absence* (1965) by Douglas Turner Ward is a satire that uses humor and exaggeration to critique racism in America. Audience members should be aware that their presence in the world you are about to enter will require you to experience \n\n- Whiteface as racial commentary (actors performing exaggerated portrayals of white characters — sometimes referred to as \"whiteface minstrelsy\")\n- Racial slurs and offensive language\n- Stereotypes\, bias\, and caricatures used intentionally to highlight the absurdity of bigotry and erasure\n\nWhile these depictions are racially specific\, Ward’s satire also comments on the universality of prejudice and oppression based on identity or affinity.\n\n*Free reservations are required\, and seating is limited!*\n\nPlease reserve your seats at this link:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/day-of-absence-tickets-1633164030579?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\n\nSHOW DATES\nThursday\, October 2 at 7 pm\nFriday\, October 3 at 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, October 4 at 2 pm UID:139263-21885207@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139263 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,North Campus,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Newman Studio CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251121T101442 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251002T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251002T220000 SUMMARY:Film Screening:Movie Night at The Connector DESCRIPTION:Come unwind at The Connector for a weekly Movie Night!

Linked by the figure of the turtle\, which is central to both of their origin stories\, the two women form an effective alliance advocating for the protection of water\, land\, stars\, and ancestral knowledge.\n\nLooking for free student tickets?

Jade Nicole DESCRIPTION:Jade Nicole is a singer/songwriter and background vocalist from the Metro Detroit area. Since a teenager\, Jade has used songwriting as a tool to understand the world around them and the world within them. This process began a decade long journey of finding their voice\, getting comfortable with sharing\, and trusting in their vision and dreams. Now\, with the goal of inviting people to cry at their shows\, Jade shares personal and vulnerable stories of their life and relationships through deeply honest lyrics and heartfelt melodies. Over time\, Jade learned that their art is most powerful when it is shared with others\, vulnerably and with intention. To be witnessed is to be alive\, and this is something dear to the heart of this artist.\n\nVoices is a series of artist-cultivated concerts at The Ark conceived and created by Ann Arbor musician Kyler Wilkins\, AKA vocal looping artist Ki5. The series seeks to expand the representation of Michigan BIPOC artists and audiences at The Ark. Each show\, intentional time will be taken to get to know each artist in the form of brief interviews and musical breaks to have them speak about their journey as musicians and performers with the hope that people in the audience are more connected to and inspired by those voices.

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now\, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year\, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art &\; Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students\, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building\, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path—experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg\, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZoë Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena García-Murguía\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n UID:137111-21879695@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137111 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250904T104107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251003T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251003T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints. \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

Working outside the academy yet in sustained dialogue with postcolonial theory\, Jyoti uses textile-based installations as “visual essays” to reframe histories of colonial exploitation\, migration\, and resistance.\n\nDrawing on works such as Indigo: The Blue Gold and The 18th Century Merchant Ship\, Jyoti interrogates how indigo functioned as both commodity and instrument of colonial capitalism. In Faceless Journeys\, anonymity becomes a metaphor for the erasure of migrant subjectivities\, while The Khadi March: Just Five Meters reanimates Gandhi’s call for swadeshi by situating khadi within contemporary debates on sustainability and rural livelihoods.\n\nJyoti's practice approaches textiles as living archives that embody transnational exchanges and subaltern histories\, tracing their movements from Sindh and Gujarat to global circuits of trade and consumption. By employing materiality—cloth\, color\, and motif—as sites of memory and resistance\, she explores how art can perform the work of historicization and offer critical interventions into postcolonial discourse.\n\nThe lecture invites reflection on how creative practices might be read as forms of scholarship\, challenging conventional boundaries between archive and artwork\, academic and artisan\, past and present.\n\nPlease register at https://myumi.ch/qZ213 to receive the Zoom link before the event.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

Recent developments in negative control methods\, also known as proximal causal inference\, offer promising strategies to strengthen causal conclusions. These approaches leverage negative controls —variables that have no direct causal relationship with either the exposure or the outcome — to detect and adjust for unmeasured confounding. In this talk\, I will review the foundations of negative control methods and introduce the double negative control framework. I will then present our recent work extending this framework to settings where some candidate negative control variables may themselves be invalid. I will conclude with a discussion of open challenges and future research directions.

Holding firm entry fixed\, such policy should encourage competition and limit the ability of incumbent firms to acquire early-stage competitors. In resource-intensive industries such as pharmaceuticals\, however\, firms make entry decisions conditional upon eventual exit strategies. Limitations to M&A activity may reduce incentives for biotech entry\, ultimately resulting in less innovation and welfare losses. Leveraging M&A and drug development data in oncology from 2006 to 2019 we document three facts: 1. Big pharmaceutical firms constitute the majority of controlling interest acquisitions\; 2. The probability of acquisition is strongly associated with the entry choice of small biotech drugs but there is no association for big pharmaceutical drugs\; and 3. The acquisition price for a drug increases when the acquiring firm has an overlapping development pipeline. These insights inform a structural model in which acquisitions are the result of a first-price sealed bid auction that informs a static firm entry and market choice decision for new drugs. We find that a counterfactual which restricts the ability of big pharma firms to acquire overlapping biotech drugs significantly changes the market choice of biotech drugs\, but we do not find a significant change in overall biotech drug entry\, suggesting such a policy would have minimal welfare costs.

Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection.

Join UMSI during Climate Week for a series of lightning talks by University of Michigan researchers exploring the impact of data centers on communities and the environment. Each speaker will present thought-provoking insights into topics around data centers such as environmental impacts and urban planning.\n\nFeatured Speakers: Ben Green\, Molly Kleinman\, Xiaofan Liang\n\nWhat Happens When Data Centers Come to Town? (Ben Green)\nThis talk explores the impacts of data centers on communities. Despite promises of economic benefits\, data centers come with a myriad of costs\, including increased utility rates\, high resource consumption\, and pollution. From Washtenaw County to across the globe\, communities are now pushing back against data center projects. To mitigate data centers’ environmental impacts\, policymakers should introduce requirements for new renewable energy and enforce transparency through mandatory reporting.\n\nSpeaker: Ben Green is an assistant professor in the University of Michigan School of Information and an assistant professor (by courtesy) in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University\, with a secondary field in Science\, Technology\, and Society. Ben studies the ethics and impacts of algorithms\, with a focus on algorithmic fairness\, human-algorithm interactions\, and AI regulation. Through his research\, Ben aims to support design and governance practices that prevent algorithmic harms and advance social justice. His first book\, The Smart Enough City: Putting Technology in Its Place to Reclaim Our Urban Future\, was published in 2019 by MIT Press. He is working on a second book\, Algorithmic Realism: Data Science Practices to Promote Social Justice. Ben is also a faculty associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard.\n\nUnderstanding Community Opposition to Data Centers (Molly Kleinman)\nAs public awareness of the impacts of data centers has grown\, many local groups are organizing to oppose and resist data centers in their communities. Based on the work of the Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy program's Community Partnerships Initiative\, this presentation will provide an overview of the longstanding environmental justice issues facing Southeast Michigan residents that inform and shape residents' responses to data centers.\n\nSpeaker: Molly Kleinman serves as the Managing Director of the Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy program. In this role\, Molly oversees the day-to-day management and provides strategic direction for STPP. Molly brings over 15 years of experience across several areas of higher education\, with much of her work centering on technology policy\, educational technology\, and intellectual property. She also has an interest in urban and transportation policy\; she is a past chair of the Ann Arbor Transportation Commission\, serves as an elected trustee of the Ann Arbor District Library\, and co-hosts the Ann Arbor AF podcast. Molly received her Ph.D. in Higher Education Policy from the University of Michigan Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education\, her M.S. in Information from the University of Michigan School of Information\, and her B.A. in English and Gender Studies from Bryn Mawr College.\n\nGoverning Data Center in Urban Planning (Xiaofan Liang)\nA core part of urban planning is to manage our built environment\, and AI has a physical footprint as well. What kinds of land use do data centers fall into? What are the planning and communication considerations of sitting a data center? Prof. Liang will share challenges and questions that urban planners face when a data center comes to town\, existing planning practices\, and a few on-going research projects that aim to unpack data center's complexity in urban and regional planning. \n\nSpeaker: Xiaofan Liang is an Assistant Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, University of Michigan. Liang is also an affiliated faculty with Michigan Institute for Data & AI in Society and the UM Center for the Study of Complex Systems. Liang’s current work focuses on two themes: 1) Urban Network: how network infrastructure (e.g.\, social\, transportation\, digital\, etc.) plays a dual role to offer connectivity but also exclude locals at the same time\, 2) Urban AI\, exploring how data\, technology\, and AI can support\, transform\, or challenge planning practices and public services and the human agency to elevate the benefits and mitigate the harms.

Dedicated to the fallen Ukrainian poet Maksym Kryvtsov\, the exhibit’s title is borrowed from one of his poems. Exploring the role of empathy and humanity in the times of crisis\, Ukrainian and American artists Katya Lisova (textiles)\, Matvii Vaisberg (prints)\, and Ira Bondarenko (ceramics) reflect on the power and limits of human agency in the face of overwhelming force. The value of humanity lies in its capacity to transcend adversity by embracing compassion and keeping empathy and human connection alive in the most oppressive darkness. The project examines this concept through the lens of Ukrainian artists and poets and emphasizes the role of ordinary people in building resilience and saving the country.\n\nThe exhibition\, which will be displayed in the University of Michigan’s Duderstadt Center Gallery from September 14-October 5\, 2025\, was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. The Ann Arbor Chapter of the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) also provided support for the project. \n \n Image: *Fly* by Katya Lisova\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

While existing research has focused on cases of clear-cut fraud\, this article studies occupations that operate in a gray zone of deception: they DESCRIPTION:Despite being a violation of social norms\, practices of deception are prevalent in organizations and markets. While existing research has focused on cases of clear-cut fraud\, this article studies occupations that operate in a gray zone of deception: they cannot be simply defined as fraudulent\, but the potential for deceit casts a shadow of suspicion across their practices. We ask: how and when do members of emerging occupations navigate a shadow of suspicion about their work? Drawing on comparative ethnographic data\, we examine the tactics enacted by members of two emerging occupations—career coaches and technology platform evangelists—in their attempts at navigating suspicions of deception. We find that members of both occupations employ a set of tactics that reveal surprising similarities and meaningful differences in how they navigate this shadow of suspicion. Together\, we refer to these tactics as moral offense: rather than defending their own probity\, they accuse relevant others—social systems\, the [audience’s] self\, their doubters—of moral failings as a means of normalizing their practices. Their primary tool in moral offense is a symbolic binary between the “old” and the “new” economy. Occupational members leverage this binary to stir up the anxious uncertainty experienced by their audiences\, leading them through a process of disorientation and reorientation that they in turn use to construct their moral authority as guides to the unknown. In doing so\, these occupational members implicitly reframe structural problems of precarity and uncertainty in the new economy into a call for individual moral awakening and updating of moral orientations. Findings contribute to organizational and sociological theories of deception\, occupations\, and morality in economic life.

This statistic naturally reflects the dynamics of the TAZRP. In this talk\, we present a new tableau formula for the symmetric Macdonald polynomials\, using the same queue inversion statistic on non-attacking tableaux. Central to our approach is a probabilistic bijection on non-attacking fillings that enables swapping of entries between columns. Our techniques extend to fillings of composition shapes\, leading to symmetry results for permuted basement Macdonald polynomials.

However\, their use in real-world applications has been limited due to the difficulty of controlling them given their nonlinear dynamics and many degrees-of-freedom. In this talk\, I’ll introduce a residual modeling and control approach that leverages Koopman operator theory to construct linear representations of nonlinear dynamical systems\, enabling the use of efficient linear techniques to control soft robots. Using this Koopman-based approach\, a pneumatically actuated soft arm was able to perform real-world manipulation tasks such as trajectory following\, pick-and-place with a variable payload\, and writing on a dry-erase board without undergoing any task-specific training. This approach improves the capabilities of soft robots\, enabling their more widespread adoption in real-world applications.\n\nContact: Silas Alben UID:135809-21877292@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/135809 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251003T120339 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251003T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251003T170000 SUMMARY:Other:German Peer Mentor Tutoring DESCRIPTION:Join the German department's Peer Mentors to brush up on your German skills!

The Coastal Ocean Environment Summer School In Nigeria and Ghana (COESSING\; https://coessing.org) has been held for one week every year since 2015. COESSING alternates between Ghana and Nigeria. We held our tenth anniversary COESSING in Ghana in August 2025. From 2025-2028\, the West African COESSING school will be embedded within the large Ocean Margins Initiative (OMI) research project (~9M USD)\, supported by Schmidt Sciences. OMI funding allows for \"big ocean science\" to be done on an unprecedented scale in the Gulf of Guinea. The connections developed within the COESSING summer school were essential in the genesis of the Schmidt-funded OMI project\, and COESSING will serve as a meeting and networking forum for that project. Plans to hold the 2026 COESSING in Nigeria are already underway. Over ten years\, we have had about 1000 in-person participants and about 250 in-person instructors at COESSING. Instruction has evolved towards hands-on research tracks in areas such as Marine Plastics\, Physical Oceanography\, Biogeochemistry\, Fisheries Management\, and the Ocean Margins Initiative. In September 2025\, we held the inaugural Coastal Ocean School in the Western Indian Ocean (COES-WIO)\, at Technical University of Mombasa\, again with a focus on research tracks. COES-WIO featured about 75 in-person participants from around the Western Indian Ocean region\, and about 20 in-person instructors from around the world. We have funding to run COES-WIO in 2026. Pending further funding\, we plan to rotate the school around different schools in the region. Our summer schools hosted in Ghana\, Nigeria and Kenya allow scientists from the US\, Europe\, and elsewhere to travel to African countries\, and see the challenges and opportunities in conducting ocean science in Africa for themselves. Countless collaborations\, small and large\, have been set up as a consequence of these schools. We are having ongoing discussions about creating more such schools in different parts of the world\, including Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands region.

By using clock imagery\, circular staging\, and interruptions in the flow of time\, we create a theatrical experience that immerses the audience in the complexities of history\, where time advances\, pauses\, and sometimes even reverses.\n\nWard's play\, *Day of Absence*\, is set in an imaginary Southern town where all the Black residents suddenly vanish. This powerful work explores the impact of racial absence in modern society. First performed in 1965\, it highlights how white communities depend on Black labor and depicts the chaos that erupts when all Black residents disappear.\n\nCONTENT ADVISORY\n\n*Day of Absence* (1965) by Douglas Turner Ward is a satire that uses humor and exaggeration to critique racism in America. Audience members should be aware that their presence in the world you are about to enter will require you to experience \n\n- Whiteface as racial commentary (actors performing exaggerated portrayals of white characters — sometimes referred to as \"whiteface minstrelsy\")\n- Racial slurs and offensive language\n- Stereotypes\, bias\, and caricatures used intentionally to highlight the absurdity of bigotry and erasure\n\nWhile these depictions are racially specific\, Ward’s satire also comments on the universality of prejudice and oppression based on identity or affinity.\n\n*Free reservations are required\, and seating is limited!*\n\nPlease reserve your seats at this link:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/day-of-absence-tickets-1633164030579?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\n\nSHOW DATES\nThursday\, October 2 at 7 pm\nFriday\, October 3 at 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, October 4 at 2 pm UID:139264-21885208@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139264 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,North Campus,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Newman Studio CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250813T140554 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251003T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251003T210000 SUMMARY:Performance:Nigamon/Tunai DESCRIPTION:In the heart of a forest of sound\, Canadian artist Émilie Monnet and Colombian artist Waira Nina deliver a poetic manifesto inspired by the bonds of friendship and solidarity.\n\nNigamon / Tunai (the words translate to “song” in the Anishinaabemowin and Inga languages) is an immersive performance ritual rooted in the presence of the natural world and co-exists with the audience\, who are in close proximity to the performers on the Power Center stage.\n\nAt the crossroads of friendship and resistance\, the two women invite us to listen deeply and to understand the knowledge and struggles that link their respective cultures: the depletion and plundering of natural resources that are core to their existence.\n\nInterweaving immersive performance and audio documentary with Indigenous knowledge and voices\, this mesmerizing new theatrical work invites audiences into ritualized listening\, and to feel the sound vibrations emitted by the surrounding water\, stones\, copper\, and tree trunks. Linked by the figure of the turtle\, which is central to both of their origin stories\, the two women form an effective alliance advocating for the protection of water\, land\, stars\, and ancestral knowledge.\n\nLooking for free student tickets?

It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now\, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year\, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art &\; Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students\, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building\, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path—experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg\, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZoë Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena García-Murguía\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n UID:137111-21879696@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137111 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250922T152041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251004T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251004T220000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Michigan Arts Festival DESCRIPTION:The Michigan Arts Festival will run from September 25 to October 26\, 2025\, across U-M’s Ann Arbor\, Dearborn Detroit\, and Flint campuses and at select community venues.

Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries\, stereotypes and associationsmisuse\, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat\, reiterate\, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive\, fantastic\, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art &\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan. She recently moved back to the forest she calls home in Southeastern Ohio\, where she serves as Exhibitions Director at The Dairy Barn Arts Center\, hunts for mushrooms with her toddler\, and makes quilts.

By using clock imagery\, circular staging\, and interruptions in the flow of time\, we create a theatrical experience that immerses the audience in the complexities of history\, where time advances\, pauses\, and sometimes even reverses.\n\nWard's play\, *Day of Absence*\, is set in an imaginary Southern town where all the Black residents suddenly vanish. This powerful work explores the impact of racial absence in modern society. First performed in 1965\, it highlights how white communities depend on Black labor and depicts the chaos that erupts when all Black residents disappear.\n\nCONTENT ADVISORY\n\n*Day of Absence* (1965) by Douglas Turner Ward is a satire that uses humor and exaggeration to critique racism in America. Audience members should be aware that their presence in the world you are about to enter will require you to experience \n\n- Whiteface as racial commentary (actors performing exaggerated portrayals of white characters — sometimes referred to as \"whiteface minstrelsy\")\n- Racial slurs and offensive language\n- Stereotypes\, bias\, and caricatures used intentionally to highlight the absurdity of bigotry and erasure\n\nWhile these depictions are racially specific\, Ward’s satire also comments on the universality of prejudice and oppression based on identity or affinity.\n\n*Free reservations are required\, and seating is limited!*\n\nPlease reserve your seats at this link:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/day-of-absence-tickets-1633164030579?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\n\nSHOW DATES\nThursday\, October 2 at 7 pm\nFriday\, October 3 at 7:30 pm\nSaturday\, October 4 at 2 pm UID:139265-21885209@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139265 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,North Campus,Storytelling,Theater LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Newman Studio CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250813T140554 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251004T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251004T160000 SUMMARY:Performance:Nigamon/Tunai DESCRIPTION:In the heart of a forest of sound\, Canadian artist Émilie Monnet and Colombian artist Waira Nina deliver a poetic manifesto inspired by the bonds of friendship and solidarity.\n\nNigamon / Tunai (the words translate to “song” in the Anishinaabemowin and Inga languages) is an immersive performance ritual rooted in the presence of the natural world and co-exists with the audience\, who are in close proximity to the performers on the Power Center stage.\n\nAt the crossroads of friendship and resistance\, the two women invite us to listen deeply and to understand the knowledge and struggles that link their respective cultures: the depletion and plundering of natural resources that are core to their existence.\n\nInterweaving immersive performance and audio documentary with Indigenous knowledge and voices\, this mesmerizing new theatrical work invites audiences into ritualized listening\, and to feel the sound vibrations emitted by the surrounding water\, stones\, copper\, and tree trunks. Linked by the figure of the turtle\, which is central to both of their origin stories\, the two women form an effective alliance advocating for the protection of water\, land\, stars\, and ancestral knowledge.\n\nLooking for free student tickets?

Each December\, this event is a warm hearted lift-off to the holidays that has become an indispensable tradition for families in the greater Ann Arbor area and far beyond. Zindle\, The Ragbirds’ songwriter\, lead singer and multi-instrumentalist\, produces this gala event with the intention of joyfully interconnecting the performers and audiences of the Michigan music community. A star-studded “house band” along with a horn section\, string section and backup singers\, lays the foundation for guest vocalists to shine. \n\nThis year’s featured artists include avant-garde\, folk-soul cellist Jordan Hamilton\, gutsy garage-rock singer-songwriter Elisabeth Pixley-Fink\, beloved Ann Arbor folk-bender Billy King\, looper\, multi-instrumentalist\, and producer Ki-5\, indie folk-rock singer-songwriter Dylan Charles and incendiary Outlaw-Americana duo Ember & Ash (Erin Zindle and Alex Holycross\, of The Native Howl)\n\nThe show’s strength is its diversity\, with a wide range of song styles highlighting the incredibly talented instrumentalists and vocalists within the group. Creative arrangements of original songs\, new modern hits\, and traditional carols make this show unlike any other - it’s truly “not your mama’s Christmas show”. Master of Ceremonies comedienne Shelly Smith guides listeners through the experience with laughter and good cheer.

With its sonic palette encompassing everything from fuzzed-out guitars and industrial-leaning beats to gilded pedal steel and Kiah’s exquisitely graceful banjo work\, Still + Bright fully affirms her as an artist of both daring originality and uncompromising depth.\n\nOn Wary + Strange\, Kiah offered up a collection of spellbinding songs detailing her experience with grief and trauma and alienation\, each illuminating the extraordinary impact of her songwriting. An electrifying showcase for her singular musicality and soul-stirring voice\, Kiah’s Rounder Records debut soon found many leading critics hailing her as a formidable new talent\, adding to a list of accolades that includes earning a Grammy nomination for her powerhouse anthem “Black Myself.”\n\nWhile Still + Bright undoubtedly finds Kiah pushing into new emotional and musical terrain\, the album also makes for a vital new addition to a body of work largely dedicated to exploring the struggle and joy of true self-discovery. “With all of my music\, I’d love to leave people with the feeling that it’s okay to go off the beaten path and to structure your life in a way that feels right to you\,” says Kiah. “And just like with the last record\, I hope that these songs can help people out if they’re going through a difficult time. That’s what I always hope for more than anything: for my music to continue to be a part of the healing process for anyone who might need it.” UID:140293-21886887@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140293 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
