Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109 UID:140228-21886768@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Arts Initiative,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery 1019 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260324T094536 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251019T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251019T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Creating the Future of Medicine for 175 Years DESCRIPTION:As the Medical School celebrates the anniversary of its opening in the fall of 1850\, and Michigan Medicine marks the 100th anniversary of the opening of the \"Old Main\" University Hospital that served as its flagship from 1925 to 1986\, a free museum exhibit explores 175 years of medical education\, research and clinical care. \n\nOpen to the public at the Museum on Main Street operated by the Washtenaw County Historical Society\, the exhibit includes artifacts\, photos and facts about how U-M's medical community grew from humble beginnings on the Diag to become one of the nation's largest and most respected academic medical centers.

Beethoven’s last quartet — and the last major work he completed — closes the program.\n\n“These were gorgeous and stirring performances\,” said the New York Classical Review of Belcea’s 2023 performance at Zankel Hall. “The quartet’s sinewy\, back-lit sound carried so much of the sonic beauty of the music\, and the energy behind the playing was full of style\, feeling\, and expressive depth.” UID:137134-21879798@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137134 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chamber Music,Classical,classical music,Michigan Arts Festival,Strings,UMS,university musical society,Violin LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Rackham Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251019T120009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251019T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251019T180000 SUMMARY:Other:Club Meeting - Wolverines on Wheels (WoW) DESCRIPTION:Join us for our weekly club meeting to discuss campus bike infrastructure and education initiatives!

Some might even call him a “tour de force” as his songs pull no punches in evoking the demons with which he has wrestled through much of his life. The GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s early releases\, I’m About To Come Alive\, The Sound Of A Million Dreams\, I’m A Fire and Fighter\, ignited his reputation as an innovator and creative risk-taker yet left Nail feeling restless. This led to the departure of the only record company home he’d ever known\, MCA Nashville\, where he’d formed friendships that endure even now. \n\nThrough dealing with his own journey of mental health and the feeling of needing to “rebel against what people expect you to be\,” Nail began making his most organic work to date\, David Nail & The Well Ravens\, with Jason Hall and Andrew Petroff. That project liberated Nail and propelled him into his next adventure. Writing solo for the next few months led to his debut solo independent EP Oh\, Mother\, a reflective piece of work. Of the title track\, Rolling Stone noted that “the song creeps in like a sunrise — quiet\, restrained cello and keys are the only underpinning for Nail’s powerful vocals at first. But then it slowly builds to something more massive and majestic.” That release was followed by Bootheel 2020 and Bootheel 2021\, projects dedicated to the singer/songwriter’s hometown in the “bootheel” of Missouri. Nail released an EP titled Best of Me in 2023 and the title track has seen heavy press support and country radio airplay. \n\n2024 brought more touring than ever\, two great single releases “If I Could Call” and “Why” featuring Aubrie Sellers. Nail plans on releasing the start of an excitingly different and elevated album project this year leaving behind any self-imposed restrictions. In Nail’s own words\, “My philosophy has always been\, I just hope to have a good enough year that I can have a next year while staying as true to myself as I possibly can.” UID:136322-21878497@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/136322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250907T120052 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251020T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251020T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Crafting Meeting DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join us every Sunday from 2-4 pm for our crafting meeting!

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:137111-21887297@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:20251020T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251020T170000 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.

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

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.

In experiments with ensembles of spin qubits\, the standard quantum limit on sensitivity scales with the inverse square root of the number of spins. Platforms such as cold atoms\, atomic vapor cells\, and color centers in solids can operate in the regime where this spin projection noise dominates detection of ensemble dynamics. Increasing ensemble size is a promising way to enhance sensitivity. The challenge is that this requires a corresponding reduction in other noise sources. I will present precision nuclear magnetic resonance measurements on macroscopic ensembles of 10^{21} nuclear spins\, with sensitivity limited by the quantum spin projection noise. Additionally\, I will discuss the creation and utilization of spin squeezing in such macroscopic spin ensembles.

The result of this is a lack of precision or specificity in determinants and sequelae. As a field\, we have still not successfully addressed limitations identified 20 years ago by Collins (2005): “Perhaps most important for future research\, the present framework is a timely reminder of the importance of moving beyond global associations toward divergent predictions\, thus avoiding the frequent\, but only somewhat informative\, conclusion that good things go together and bad things go together (p. 144).” Behavioral systems models can address this gap by more precisely identifying parental socialization goals and the behavioral strategies for achieving those goals within specific child-rearing contexts.  This talk will present how “form (what it looks like)” and “function (what it is designed to do)” in behavioral systems conceptualizations of caregiving can provide greater specificity in parenting behaviors with children. Moreover\, the talk will discuss observational approaches to assessing different caregiving domains\, mothers' and fathers' caregiving\, and the pitfalls and promises of this approach.\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.

The 6 edge-lengths may be viewed as representations of SU(2) satisfying certain multiplicity-one conditions. One important property of the 6j symbol is its hidden symmetry outside the tetrahedral ones\, originally discovered by Regge.\n\nIn this talk\, we explore a generalized construction\, dubbed tetrahedral symbol\, in the context of rank-1 semisimple groups over local fields\, and explain how the extra symmetries may be explained by relative Langlands duality. Joint work with Akshay Venkatesh.

Using our hands as models transforms the two-dimensional static framework of writing symbolic drawings on our page into 3-D opportunities for students to conceptualize a molecule or even a transition state. The Sign Language Incorporation in Chemistry Education (SLICE) project was initiated by a group of faculty and Deaf/Hard of Hearing (D/HH) students at the Rochester Institute of Technology to address the language vacuum of STEM signs in organic chemistry. The result of our work has had a positive impact on the classroom culture and performance gains of D/HH students taking the organic chemistry courses. Now\, efforts have begun to address STEM signs in general chemistry and biochemistry. Our studies are also now exploring the impact of universal design across all students in the organic chemistry curriculum.

After describing this motivation in the context of random tilings of regions\, we will introduce discrete holomorphic functions on a square lattice via a natural construction\, and then generalize this by defining t-holomorphic functions on a triangular lattice. Time permitting\, we will discuss how to define t-holomorphic functions on non-triangular lattices.

When these expenses are tax deductible\, they reduce the after-tax cost differential in house prices and taxes across states and metropolitan areas. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) reduced the benefits of these deductions by increasing the standard deduction and capping state and local tax deductions at $10\,000. Using a difference-in-differences methodology that exploits variation in exposure to the TCJA and a panel of household residences\, I find that the reduction in deduction benefits increased the probability of high-income households moving to a different metropolitan area. Conditional on moving\, these households sought out lower-tax destinations.

The project fuses symbolic hair design\, ritual healing\, and fine art into one unified ecosystem of transformation. Through intentional grooming\, visual storytelling\, and community activation\, this initiative presents identity as terrain—where hair becomes soil\, and fine art becomes the bloom. Poré will share how his cultural roots shape his work in the garden\, on canvas\, and as a trained barber/cultural griot.\n\nAbout Tzu Poré:\nEducated in the early '90s at College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, Michigan\, Tzu Poré is an award-winning interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the themes of Black Afro-Caribbean Americana humanity\, historical socio-economic position\, and ancient tradition in the modern world\, richly informed by strong community-family bonds.\n\nWith West Indian origins and a Pan-African world view\, Poré\, in 1997\, enlisted in the US Army. While serving as an aviation mechanic\, Poré honed a deeper understanding of methods and processes of fusing materials such as minerals and solids that he has since used to increase the physical texture and visual depth in his paintings.\n\nShortly after being discharged in 2001\, he embarked on an exploration of hair as an artistic medium of texture and sculpture\, both on and off the canvas\, while moonlighting as a barber in three major African-American markets—Detroit\, Philadelphia\, and Los Angeles.\n\nWith nearly three decades of travel and experience\, Poré reemerges with new work that culminates in the perfect union of interdisciplinary artistry and a vividly dynamic multinational skillset. Poré's continued evolution as an artist allows him to boldly express with the unconventional creative range of mediums and processes that he uses to confront the challenge of affecting depth within two-dimensional art.\n\nAbout Kahn Santori Davison\nKahn Santori Davison\, based in Detroit\, is a music writer for *The Metro Times*. He was formerly an art columnist for *The Gazette News *and an Arts and Entertainment writer for *The Michigan Citizen*. He has served as a creative writing instructor at Detroit Impact Community Center and InsideOut Literary Arts Project. He was one half of the poetry group Khaos and co-star in the award-winning play Mahogany Dreams. He’s a Cave Canem fellow whose work has been featured in *The Alabama Poetry Society*\, *The Entoitist*\, *The Baltimore Review*\, *London’s X-Bout*\, *Barbaric Yap*\, *Callaloo*\, *Black Reniaissance Noire*\, and *The Litchfield Review*. He has read and lectured widely in Europe and the United States.\n\nDavison served as a 2023 Kresge Eminent Artist panelist\, and a 2017 Kresge Artist Fellowship panelist in Literary Arts.

Hampton of Stephen F. Austin State University presents a history of how\, from the game's early days\, college football and a strain of masculine Christianity built a mutually reinforcing culture that taught lessons in America's dominant religious\, gendered\, and racial belief systems. He examines how Christians of many denominations embraced the game to shape their faith to meet changing social demands\, seeking spiritual and personal meaning on the gridiron. Fans watched the action to find God's lessons for them\, wins and losses expressing divine will while the game's popularity offered potent ways to evangelize non-believers. The sport also provided a stage for fostering Christian manhood\, male community\, gender dominance\, and on-the-field heroic displays serving a higher purpose. Dr. Hunter will give a free online live lecture Monday\, October 20\, 7-8:30 PM via a Zoom webinar. Register at tinyurl.com/GridironGospel.

With his 12th studio album Why The Worry\, Walker further builds upon this reputation. \n\nSet straight by the title’s mantra\, Why The Worry finds the veteran singer-songwriter letting go of the worry about perception\, the worry of over-preparation\, and the worry that seeps in constantly from the news and noise of everyday life. Taking a page from Willie Nelson\, Walker embraced the country music legend's sage wisdom\, “I’ve never seen worry accomplish anything\, so I decided not to do it.” Indeed\, the album was just about finished when Hurricane Helene hit Walker where he lives in the mountains around Asheville\, and as a result\, the record almost didn’t see light. As catastrophe took shape\, the album’s importance wavered in his mind until the central theme came back into view. The worry wouldn’t undo any damage\, and there was still service in song. \n\nGrowing up on a commune in rural North Carolina\, the son of classically trained musicians\, Walker played cello long before discovering the guitar in his 20s. When his introduction to the blues came via his Uncle Landon Walker\, who was both a musician and disc jockey\, his fate was forever sealed. Instantaneously\, Seth was looking to artists like T-Bone Walker\, Snooks Eaglin\, and B.B. King as a wellspring of endless inspiration. The rest is history. He's released twelve albums\, broken into the Top 20 of the Americana Radio Charts\, reached No. 2 on the Billboard Blues Album Chart and received praise from NPR\, American Songwriter\, No Depression and Relix\, among others. \n\nAlongside his extensive songwriting and recording pursuits\, Walker is consistently touring and performing at venues and festivals around the world. Along with headline shows\, he's been invited to open for The Mavericks\, Marc Broussard\, The Wood Brothers\, Raul Malo\, Paul Thorn and Ruthie Foster\, among others. \n\nPrior to relocating to Asheville in 2020\, Walker did stints residing in Austin\, New Orleans and Nashville. He’s used those experiences wisely\, soaking up the sounds and absorbing the musical lineage of these varied places. With a bluesman’s respect for roots and tradition\, coupled with an appreciation for—and successful melding of—contemporary songwriting\, Walker sublimely incorporates a range of styles with warmth and grace. Perhaps Country Standard Time said it best: “If you subscribe to the Big Tent theory of Americana\, then Seth Walker—with his blend of blues\, gospel\, pop\, R&B\, rock\, and a dash country—just might be your poster boy.” UID:136469-21878747@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/136469 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251009T121645 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251020T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251020T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Student Composer Concert Series DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Department of Composition\, the Student Composer Concert Series features new works written by University of Michigan undergraduate and graduate students.

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:137111-21887298@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:20251021T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251021T170000 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.

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms.

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.

We illustrate the geometric approach by considering two examples recently obtained by M. van der Put and J. Top in their study of a certain ansatz of isomonodromic deformations of linear ODEs. We provide explicit coordinate transformations identifying these examples with standard form of some Painlevé equations and also explicitly identify their Hamiltonians.

He will present\, “A Dynamic Evaluation of Parental Marriage and Children’s Skills.” \n\nAbstract: “This paper develops a unified dynamic treatment effects framework to examine how parental marital patterns affect children’s cognitive skills. Using Panel Study of Income Dynamics Child Development Survey data\, we analyze the timing and sequencing of family structure changes throughout childhood. Using a clustering analysis treating marital trajectories as sequences\, we identify six distinct marital trajectory clusters from continuously single to stably married families. The marital history clusters differ considerably on variables that are predetermined at the time of birth as well as on endogenous variables like time investments and test scores. We then estimate a dynamic model of marital status and children’s outcomes that allows for age-varying selection into marriage and divorce. The estimated model reveals substantial sorting on gains into marriage and negative average effects of divorce on cognitive skills that attenuate with time.” UID:140473-21887201@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140473 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Family,In Person LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 BD CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251105T063217 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251021T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251021T123000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:CBP Officer Northern Border Recruitment Webinar - October 21st DESCRIPTION:U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has highergrade opportunities and entry-level openings for Customs and Border Protection Officers\, and we need you!

We draw on a new survey to document that some households purchase energy-saving equipment because\, in addition to cutting energy costs\, they want to reduce emissions. We build a macro-environmental model in which emissions result from home production tasks involving either clean or dirty equipment\, and some households have distaste for their own emissions. We analyze the most cost-effective subsidy on clean equipment. We show that changes in households' emissions distaste have similar effects on household emissions as a modest sized carbon tax.

In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109 UID:140228-21886770@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Arts Initiative,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery 1019 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251015T091714 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251021T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251021T140000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Can ‘Slavic’ Speak for Minorities? — Who Gets to Belong in Eastern Europe? - Talk 2 DESCRIPTION:This talk traces Greek communities across Ukraine and the former USSR—their settlements\, cultural life\, deportations and repression under the Russian Empire and the USSR\, post-Soviet repatriation\, and the persistence of identity across migrations—framed within broader debates on diaspora and cultural resilience.\n\nThe Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan is proud to launch a new lecture series spotlighting the rich multicultural and multilingual traditions of the regions we study and teach.\n\nThe series challenges the field’s longstanding Slavic-centric focus by highlighting historically understudied communities that\, by default—as seen in the very term “Slavic studies” as a common synonym for Eastern European regional studies—have too often been overlooked or excluded.

In Fall 2024\, the Faculty Senate Office launched this series – Political Speech and the Public Square – to provide a forum for members of the U-M community to present informed\, fact-based perspectives\, and to listen to and learn from each other. In his essay\, “Education as a Space to Change Your Mind\,” philosopher Troy Jollimore reminds us of Socrates’ commitment to open-mindedness: “It requires that we work toward developing a sense of the world as a vast and complex place that we can\, and ought to\, continue to learn about for the rest of our lives.”\n\nOffered in this spirit of intellectual humility\, to support the principles of academic freedom\, and to develop a campus climate comfortable with hearing different well-informed points of view\, even those counter to one’s own views\, the lunchtime series will take place on the Diag throughout the Fall. U-M Students\, staff\, and faculty can sign up in advance to request an opportunity to speak on select topics for 3-5 minutes. Or they can simply come to listen and learn. These events are co-sponsored by the Faculty Senate Office\, the Initiative for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, the Ginsberg Center\, Open Inquiry: Talking Maize & Blue\, and Central Student Government. \n\nEvent Dates/Topics:\n\nThis year’s series asks community members to share their perspective on the following topics:\nWhat Do I Want in a New U-M President?

The event will include a presentation followed by small-group discussion and collaboration opportunities. \nPresenters: Ricky M. Granderson is a Ph.D. candidate in Social Psychology at the CUNY Graduate Center. His research examines the boundaries of physical intimacy within men’s same-sex friendships\, focusing on the cues and psychological phenomenon that shape these experiences. This work is part of Ricky’s broader research agenda\, which seeks to understand and remediate the “crisis of connection” facing contemporary American men.Anna K. Wood (she/her) is a dual PhD candidate in social work and sociology. Her dissertation project looks at masculine socialization processes\, with particular attention to how men are socialized through\, with\, and alongside violence. She also studies how formal institutional processes for responding to violence on college campuses impact student communities and friendships. Anna's work challenges traditional advocacy approaches that often position men solely as contributors to the problem. Anna argues for the necessity of engaging young men in positive\, constructive dialogues about masculine socialization to foster more effective prevention strategies.Facilitators: Anne Huhman (SAPAC)\, Joy Pehlke (Wolverine Wellness)\, Markie Silverman (UHC/CAPS)\nResearch: Drawing on data from more than 470 University of Michigan undergraduate men collected during the 2024–2025 academic year\, Push & Pull examines how these men fare across multiple markers of social well-being and explores their experiences with teasing and relational aggression within close friend networks. The presentation also shares mixed-methods findings on men’s confidence in their ability to intervene when a friend is experiencing relational aggression or mental health challenges\, highlighting both areas of strength and opportunities for growth. Results are discussed in the context of implications for campus programming and a roadmap for future research and reporting on these issues.\n UID:139838-21886109@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139838 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Michigan Union, Wolverine Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250903T135629 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251021T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251021T150000 SUMMARY:Recreational / Games:Schokoladenstunde DESCRIPTION:German Lecturer\, Silvia Grzeskowiak (sgrzesko@umich.edu)\, brings German chocolate to snack on and games to play (e.g. Tabu)\, all while chatting in German.

When the underlying system has a homogeneous structure\, usually coming from a Lie group\, with appropriate assumptions a wide range of rigidity theorems show that ergodic invariant measures and orbit closures have to be well-behaved and can often be classified. I will describe joint work with Brown\, Eskin\, and Rodriguez Hertz\, which establishes rigidity results for quite general smooth dynamical systems having some hyperbolicity. I will also explain some of the necessary assumptions as well as the homogeneous structures that emerge.\n\nBio: Simion Filip received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 2016 under the supervision of Alex Eskin. After spending several years as a Clay Fellow at Harvard and the Institute for Advanced Study\, he has been on the faculty of the University of Chicago since 2019. His research is concerned with the interactions between dynamical systems and geometry\, particularly complex and algebraic geometry.

Resolving their roles in each of these areas is challenging. For instance\, the surface composition of aerosol droplets is key to predicting cloud droplet number concentrations\, understanding atmospheric pollutant transformation\, and interpreting observations of accelerated droplet chemistry. However\, direct measurement of the surface properties of aerosol droplets is challenging\, even though such measurements are necessary\, as surface-bulk partitioning is strongly affected by the droplet’s surface area-to-volume ratio. In this presentation\, we will discuss new advances to characterise the equilibrium and dynamic surface properties of picolitre volume droplets\, gaining important insights that bear directly on our understanding of how cloud droplets form in the atmosphere and how chemical reactions may proceed in finite-volume systems. We will also describe a new mass spectrometry approach enabling sensitive\, high throughput chemical analysis of picolitre droplets\, facilitating more robust studies of the factors governing chemical reactivity in microcompartments.

An African University Press Perspective DESCRIPTION:Who owns our knowledge in a global academic landscape shaped by powerful commercial publishers? The 2025 International Open Access Week theme raises urgent questions for regions where local publishing systems\, especially in low- and middle-income countries\, are often sidelined.\n\nNwach Egbunike brings an African university press perspective to this debate. Drawing on his extensive experience\, Dr. Egbunike will discuss how African presses navigate systemic barriers to visibility and authority within the global scholarly ecosystem. While open access is frequently championed as a corrective\, Dr. Egbunike asks whether it truly addresses marginalization—or might new models be required. His talk will challenge us to examine the complex realities of ownership\, access\, and equity in knowledge production\, and how universities and publishers in Africa are charting their own paths amidst these global challenges. \n\nThe presentation will be followed by a conversation about knowledge inequality with Dr. Arsim Canolli\, associate professor of Cultural Anthropology at the University of Prishtina in Kosova.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS)\, the African Studies Center\, the University of Michigan Press\, and the Association of University Presses.

The project fuses symbolic hair design\, ritual healing\, and fine art into one unified ecosystem of transformation. Through intentional grooming\, visual storytelling\, and community activation\, this initiative presents identity as terrain—where hair becomes soil\, and fine art becomes the bloom. Poré will share how his cultural roots shape his work in the garden\, on canvas\, and as a trained barber/cultural griot.\n\nAbout Tzu Poré:\nEducated in the early '90s at College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, Michigan\, Tzu Poré is an award-winning interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the themes of Black Afro-Caribbean Americana humanity\, historical socio-economic position\, and ancient tradition in the modern world\, richly informed by strong community-family bonds.\n\nWith West Indian origins and a Pan-African world view\, Poré\, in 1997\, enlisted in the US Army. While serving as an aviation mechanic\, Poré honed a deeper understanding of methods and processes of fusing materials such as minerals and solids that he has since used to increase the physical texture and visual depth in his paintings.\n\nShortly after being discharged in 2001\, he embarked on an exploration of hair as an artistic medium of texture and sculpture\, both on and off the canvas\, while moonlighting as a barber in three major African-American markets—Detroit\, Philadelphia\, and Los Angeles.\n\nWith nearly three decades of travel and experience\, Poré reemerges with new work that culminates in the perfect union of interdisciplinary artistry and a vividly dynamic multinational skillset. Poré's continued evolution as an artist allows him to boldly express with the unconventional creative range of mediums and processes that he uses to confront the challenge of affecting depth within two-dimensional art.\n\nAbout Kahn Santori Davison\nKahn Santori Davison\, based in Detroit\, is a music writer for *The Metro Times*. He was formerly an art columnist for *The Gazette News *and an Arts and Entertainment writer for *The Michigan Citizen*. He has served as a creative writing instructor at Detroit Impact Community Center and InsideOut Literary Arts Project. He was one half of the poetry group Khaos and co-star in the award-winning play Mahogany Dreams. He’s a Cave Canem fellow whose work has been featured in *The Alabama Poetry Society*\, *The Entoitist*\, *The Baltimore Review*\, *London’s X-Bout*\, *Barbaric Yap*\, *Callaloo*\, *Black Reniaissance Noire*\, and *The Litchfield Review*. He has read and lectured widely in Europe and the United States.\n\nDavison served as a 2023 Kresge Eminent Artist panelist\, and a 2017 Kresge Artist Fellowship panelist in Literary Arts.

Student-Led Direct Democracy in Serbia’s Hybrid Regime DESCRIPTION:Gazela Pudar Draško will explore the emergence of participatory plenums as a student-driven strategy in Serbia’s recent wave of protests\, sparked by the November 2024 infrastructural disaster in Novi Sad. She will examine how\, under conditions of institutional capture\, media domination\, and creeping autocratization\, students in Belgrade and Novi Sad employed decentralized tactics to circumvent repression\, foster deliberation\, and sustain collective agency. Drawing on deliberative democracy\, sociology of emotion\, contingency theory\, and political opportunity structure\, Draško will showcase insights from in-depth interviews on how plenums function less as fixed ideologies and more as pragmatic tools for rebuilding trust and effective voice. While acknowledging limits to scalability\, she argues that flexible\, direct-democratic practices offer critical lessons on challenging entrenched power dynamics in constrained political environments.\n \n Gazela Pudar Draško is a political sociologist and currently serves as Director at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory\, University of Belgrade\, widely recognized for its commitment to engaged scholarship. Her research interests span deliberative democracy\, participatory democratic innovations\, social movements\, and gender studies.

No less fierce today\, the debate has been regarded as the purview of museum trustees\, government officials\, and lawyers. A. E. Stallings\, herself a long-time resident of Athens\, has seen that the terms of the debate\, in part set by poets such as Keats and Byron\, owe much to the 19th and 20th century cultural milieus surrounding the presence of the Marbles in Britain—and their long absence from Athens. \n\nIn *Frieze Frame*\, her recently published book\, Stallings highlights the “strange stories and people surrounding the stones\,” in the course of which she reveals the wide range of issues that the debate touches on\, including “aesthetics\, Classics\, race theory\, economics\, geopolitics\, [and] our shifting climate.”\n\nA. E. Stallings is the author of three translations and five collections of poetry\, for which she has received several awards. She has been a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Her work appears regularly in publications of note (e.g.\, Poetry\, The New Yorker\, and The Times Literary Supplement). She was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2011.

These artists mastered traditional Korean instruments such as the Gayageum\, Geomungo\, and Piri\, and became treasured performers at palace festivities and ceremonies.\n \n Today\, this inspiring tradition continues to thrive. With support from Korea’s Ministry of Culture\, Sports\, and Tourism\, the Siloam Center for the Blind established the Korean Traditional Music Orchestra of the Blind in 2011—transforming a centuries-old legacy into a beacon of contemporary excellence and empowerment. The Orchestra not only pays tribute to the artistry and history of the Gwanhyeonmaengin but also creates meaningful career opportunities for visually impaired musicians in Korea today.\n \n The ensemble’s repertoire is as dynamic as it is diverse: from jeongak (the elegant court music once reserved for royalty) to lively folk melodies that capture everyday Korean life\, and innovative fusion arrangements that bridge past and present. This ongoing evolution ensures Korea’s unique musical heritage remains vibrant\, relevant\, and deeply moving.\n \n As you experience the Korean Traditional Music Orchestra of the Blind\, you’ll encounter a living legacy—a powerful testament to talent\, perseverance\, and inclusion—connecting the splendor of ancient Korean palaces to the energy of the modern stage\, and resonating with audiences everywhere.\n\nCreative Team:\n- Scenic Designer:\nJungah Han\nAssistant Professor of Theatre & Drama\nSchool of Music\, Theater\, and Dance\nUniversity of Michigan\nhttps://www.jungahhan.com\n\n- Technical Director:\nChad Hain\nTheatrical Scenery Manager and Mentor Instructor\nSchool of Music\, Dance\, and Theater\nUniversity of Michigan\n\n*The songs will be performed in Korean\, with both Korean and English subtitles provided for the audience.*\n\nView the Korean Traditional Music Orchestra of the Blind promotional video: https://myumi.ch/79M3E\n\nEvent program: https://myumi.ch/Xyz1P\n\nFree & open to the Public \nNo tickets required \nDoors open at 6 PM\n\nAccessibility Accommodations: \nSongs are performed in Korean\, with subtitles in both Korean and English. \nWheelchair-accessible entry and seating are available. \nBraille copies of the event program are provided.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at outreachkorea@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:137111-21887299@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:20251022T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251022T170000 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.

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

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.

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.

The SEC aims to create new and exciting opportunities for undergrads to develop their skills in exhibition-making and installations. \nExhibition Statement\nIn the midst of contemporary chaos there is a quieter\, more isolated struggle to find meaning. As we pursue consistency within our own art making practices\, we must nurture our yearnings for a sustainable community. Fleeting connections can be found in the in-betweens of time and space—cooking with others\, commuting\, etc.\nThe Eye of the Storm is an exhibition demonstrating various forms of individual and collective peacemaking and resistance. This show explores the ways we use creative rituals within the private and public spheres: exploring self identity\, advocating for justice\, fostering care for others and social bonding. The selected artworks reflect each artist's way of staying in motion and/or finding calm amidst complicated or difficult times. \nThis exhibition is organized and juried by SEC student curators Hana Ichikawa\, BFA '26 (lead)\; Urvi Joshi\, BA '26\; Elsie Rogers\, BFA '27\; Jacqueline Vinson\, BFA '27\; and Maggie Watson\, BFA '26. \nThe Eye of the Storm will be on display in the Stamps Gallery atrium from October 17 - November 1\, 2025\, and features work by the following Stamps students:\nSage Booth\, BFA '28Rachel DeVeyra\, BFA '26McKenna Finn\, BA '26Reese Ford\, BFA '26Abigail Garcia\, BFA '27Erin Malone\, BFA '27Summer Mansi\, BFA '27Margaret (Mags) McKinney\, BFA '28Ava Muntner\, BFA '27Mia Noel\, BFA '28Eliana Pettigrew\, BFA '26Oliver Lee St Cyr\, BFA '26Jesse Strohauer\, BFA '28 UID:137209-21879952@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137209 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251021T162705 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251022T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251022T140000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Transfer Student Week Cords & Candy DESCRIPTION:If you’re a transfer student\, come get FREE Halloween Candy for Transfer Student Week in the LSA building.\n\nAlso if you’re a transfer student graduating next semester\, we’re giving out transfer cords on Wednesday!

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.

In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109 UID:140228-21886771@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Arts Initiative,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery 1019 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251009T175932 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251022T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251022T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Charlie O'Geen Talks about Poured Earth DESCRIPTION:Learn about Charlie O'Geen's work on fabric-formed poured earth. O'Geen\, an instructor at U-M's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, will present on his work with Poured Earth Collaborative (PEC) using fabric-formed poured earth to create a site-derived\, no-carbon-emission construction option.\n\nTo address human-made global warming\, PEC aims to resist mass production and building commodification by creating spatial divisions out of the land itself. Their approach begins with site and material\, working with diagrams\, models\, and prototypes\, and returning to the facts of site-derived building methods to avoid carbon impacts of materials and their displacement.\n\nMaterial Conversations are monthly informal discussions to learn about materials research at the University of Michigan.

In this talk I will discuss a novel method to compute gravitational wave amplitudes by reinterpreting the Feynman diagram expansion as a Born series\, solution of an effective wave equation. This method enables efficient\, systematic calculations of scattering amplitudes off any compact object\, yielding new predictions for scalar black-hole Love numbers and their renormalization-group equations up to O(G^7).

The Caribbean Qasida: Muslim Devotional Performance in Guyana and Trinidad DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores the evolution of Guyanese and Trinidadian Muslim devotional songbook and music albums featuring pre-Partition\, Sufi-influenced\, nineteenth-century qasida poetic praise songs brought by Urdu-speaking indentured Indian Muslims to the Caribbean. Professor Aliyah will focus on the material Indo-Caribbean qasida songbook and its subcontinental antecedents\, including the popular Indo-Muslim text \"Milad-e-Akbar\,\" showing that the Caribbean qasida is a devotional song that propagates Indian Islam and preserves Urdu through performances of religious and cultural authenticity while engaging with global revivalist Islam. The qasida is simultaneously conserved and creolized in transliteration and translation\, becoming a cultural art form accessible to Afro-Caribbean people as part of Caribbean postcolonial nation-building.\n \nAliyah Khan is Director of the Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC)\, and Associate Professor of English\, and Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. She specializes in Islam in the Caribbean and the Americas. Dr. Khan has also presented and taught widely on Muslims in comics and graphic novels. Her award-winning book *Far from Mecca: Globalizing the Muslim Caribbean *(Rutgers UP and University of the West Indies Press 2020)\, is the first monograph on the comparative literature\, history\, and music of enslaved African Muslims and indentured Indian Muslims and their descendants in Guyana\, Trinidad\, and Jamaica. Dr. Khan’s academic work\, creative nonfiction\, and interviews have appeared in many journals\, anthologies\, and media venues including *I Will Not Go: Translations\, Transformations\, and Chutney Fractals *(Kaya Press 2024)\, *Guernica* magazine\, Caribbean Quarterly\, *Caribbean Review of Gender Studies*\, *Journal of West Indian Literature*\, *National Public Radio*\, *Times of India*\, *Washington Post*\, and *Sky TV* (U.K.)\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

We look for evidence of the effects induced by seemingly different extensions to the standard cosmological model in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) primary and secondary anisotropies: modified gravity\, massive neutrinos and non-vanishing spatial curvature. By looking at their correlations and the differences in the impact they have on cosmological observables\, such as the CMB lensing potential spectrum\, we assess whether such additions can be told apart and identify the common root to their detection: the lensing anomaly.\n 2. In this talk\, I will briefly introduce two research topics I am working on—A Unifying Approach to the Morphology of Large-scale Structure & A Unifying Framework to Study Modified Gravity/Dark Energy.

Using text analysis on 2 million course syllabi and 20 million academic articles\, we develop a measure called “frontier knowledge proximity\,” capturing how closely course content aligns with current scholarly research. We document significant variation in frontier knowledge proximity across courses\, even within the same institution\, and demonstrate that these differences substantially affect student outcomes. Linking syllabi to individual student records from Texas and leveraging unexpected syllabus updates\, we show that increases in proximity improves both educational outcomes (graduation\, major retention\, and graduate school enrollment) and earnings. Educational gains are notably larger among median-ability and lower-income students\, whereas earnings benefits disproportionately accrue to higher-ability and higher-income students. These findings indicate that frontier knowledge exposure can narrow socioeconomic disparities in education but remains complementary to students’ existing resources. We conclude by showing that instructors\, particularly research-active faculty\, are the main drivers of differences in frontier knowledge proximity UID:136584-21878882@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/136584 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Labor,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 201 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251018T123002 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251022T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251022T153000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: Tropical linear spaces and buildings DESCRIPTION:In a previous lecture\, we learnt about tropical linear spaces in terms of valuated matroids\, or tropical Plucker vectors. In this talk\, I'll give a quick overview of some other ways to think about tropical linear spaces: matroid decompositions of the hypersimplex\, Chow quotients of the Grassmannian\, and membranes. I'll focus on the last of these. A result of Keel and Tevelev states that tropical linear spaces can be identified with membranes\, certain subcomplexes of a (Bruhat-Tits) affine building.

These reactions are predominantly carried out by enzymes that produce high valent metal–oxido species\, which are directly responsible for cleaving the C–H bonds. While much is known about the identity of these transient intermediates\, the mechanistic factors that enable metal–oxido species to accomplish such difficult transformations are still incomplete. For synthetic metal–oxido species\, C–H bond cleavage is often mechanistically described as synchronous proton coupled electron transfer (PCET). However\, data have emerged that suggest the basicity of the M– oxido unit is the key determinant in achieving enzymatic function\, thus requiring alternative mechanisms whereby proton transfer (PT) has a more dominate role than electron transfer (ET). This presentation will describe our research to gain mechanistic insights into how metal–oxido complexes activate C–H bonds. We have used a series of well-characterized Mn(III)– and M(IV)–oxido complexes to show that PT has a dominate role in the activation processes. Our experimental findings led to a proposed PCET mechanism with asynchronous transition states that is dominated by PT. To support this premise\, a new semi-empirical free energy analysis was developed that can predict the relative contributions of PT and ET for a given set of substrates. These findings underscore why the basicity of M–oxido units needs to be considered in C–H functionalization.

We propose using data sampled from the real model P (which is unknown) with limited size to train a generative model Q (from which we can easily and adequately sample). With adaptive training and sampling methods that are tailor-made for time series data\, we obtain quantification bounds between P and Q in terms of the adapted Wasserstein metric AW 2. Importantly\, the proposed adapted sampling method also facilitates conditional sampling. In the second part of this paper\, we provide the stability of the mean-variance portfolio optimization problems in AW 2. Then\, combined with the error bounds and the stability result\, we propose a policy gradient algorithm based on the generative environment\, in which our innovative adapted sampling method provides approximate scenario generators. We illustrate the performance of our algorithm on both simulated and real data. For real data\, the algorithm based on the generative environment produces portfolios that beat several important baselines\, including the Markowitz portfolio\, the equal weight (naive) portfolio\, and S&P 500.\nJoint work with Erhan Bayraktar and Fengyi Yuan.

The FMM addresses the high computation cost for pairwise interactions in specific N-body problems in many areas of physics\, for example electrostatic potentials of charged particles or gravitational forces among stars and galaxies. The problem\, which naively computes O(N^2) pairs of interactions\, can be reduced to O(N) using the multipole expansion as an approximation for far interactions. The method comes with clear error bounds for the approximation and allows for many subsequent extensions. In this talk\, I will walk through the main theorems in Greengard and Rocklin's original paper in 1987[1]\, explain the algorithm\, and give a survey of several generalizations of this algorithm that allows it to be applied to a wide range of problems.\n\n[1] L.

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:137111-21887300@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:20251015T124301 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251023T073000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251023T083000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Exploring Well-Being in Graduate Education: A Rackham Symposium DESCRIPTION:Join faculty\, staff\, and students for a transformative event dedicated to advancing mental health and well-being in graduate education.

Huron Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250904T104107 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251023T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251023T170000 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.

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

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.

This addresses a fundamental challenge in solid-state cavity QED: combining multiple coherent quantum emitters with scalable nanophotonics. Our hybrid approach decouples emitter synthesis from nanophotonic fabrication using straightforward techniques that make cavity QED broadly accessible. Building on our previous demonstration of superradiance and subradiance in pairs of molecules [1]\, we now couple several coherent emitters to a single cavity mode through high doping densities. Optically-induced frequency shifting provides long-lived spectral control\, allowing us to tune multiple molecules into resonance and demonstrate controlled formation of collective quantum states [2]. This establishes a scalable platform for many-body cavity QED and opens pathways toward chemically-designed quantum systems where optical properties are engineered through synthetic chemistry. We will also report on progress in our ultracold Li-Cs experiment\, including cooling with the narrow 5D transition [3].\n[1] C. Lange\, E. Daggett\, V. Walther\, L. Huang\, and J.D.

Through bureaucratic forms\, papers\, postures\, language\, and aesthetics\, audiences are invited to participate in respectful dialogues and playful interactions with the artist. As the 2025 Roman J. Witt Artist-in-Residence\, Kirby spent 12 weeks on campus from January through March of 2025 meeting with students\, faculty\, and staff from the Stamps School and across U-M. Based on these conversations\, Kirby devised a site-specific installation that seeks to amplify the voices of the U-M community\, uphold the value of democratic civic engagement\, and highlight the power of art in building solidarity and mutual respect.\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra.

The SEC aims to create new and exciting opportunities for undergrads to develop their skills in exhibition-making and installations. \nExhibition Statement\nIn the midst of contemporary chaos there is a quieter\, more isolated struggle to find meaning. As we pursue consistency within our own art making practices\, we must nurture our yearnings for a sustainable community. Fleeting connections can be found in the in-betweens of time and space—cooking with others\, commuting\, etc.\nThe Eye of the Storm is an exhibition demonstrating various forms of individual and collective peacemaking and resistance. This show explores the ways we use creative rituals within the private and public spheres: exploring self identity\, advocating for justice\, fostering care for others and social bonding. The selected artworks reflect each artist's way of staying in motion and/or finding calm amidst complicated or difficult times. \nThis exhibition is organized and juried by SEC student curators Hana Ichikawa\, BFA '26 (lead)\; Urvi Joshi\, BA '26\; Elsie Rogers\, BFA '27\; Jacqueline Vinson\, BFA '27\; and Maggie Watson\, BFA '26. \nThe Eye of the Storm will be on display in the Stamps Gallery atrium from October 17 - November 1\, 2025\, and features work by the following Stamps students:\nSage Booth\, BFA '28Rachel DeVeyra\, BFA '26McKenna Finn\, BA '26Reese Ford\, BFA '26Abigail Garcia\, BFA '27Erin Malone\, BFA '27Summer Mansi\, BFA '27Margaret (Mags) McKinney\, BFA '28Ava Muntner\, BFA '27Mia Noel\, BFA '28Eliana Pettigrew\, BFA '26Oliver Lee St Cyr\, BFA '26Jesse Strohauer\, BFA '28 UID:137209-21879953@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137209 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251003T181516 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251023T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251023T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Untold Stories\, Part II: A Stamps Faculty Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: September 12 - December 13Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30-8:30 p.m.\nUntold Stories: Part II is the second in a series of three exhibitions featuring the work of faculty members from the Stamps School of Art &\; Design. Organized thematically\, Part II explores timely and resonant themes related to the freedom of expression\, movement\, and civic rights. Drawing on personal narratives and public archives\, the artists offer inspiring ways of storytelling that make latent ideas visible and experiential - expanding the boundaries of their artistic research.\nUntold Stories: Part II is curated by Srimoyee Mitra\, and features work by Stamps faculty Ebitenyefa Baralaye\, Annica Cuppetelli\, Quinn A.

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.

In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109 UID:140228-21886772@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Arts Initiative,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery 1019 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251017T152506 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251023T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251023T140000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Critical Conversations: Novels DESCRIPTION:Andrea Zemgulys (Chair)\n\n“The African Novel”\nGaurav Desai is Frederick G.

Modern imaging technologies now allow us to map the exact location and type of cells across heterogeneous populations of patients\, providing unprecedented resolution into this hidden ecology. Yet many analytic pipelines reduce this complexity to simple counts of each cell type\, analyze one marker or cell at a time\, or incorporate spatial information via ad-hoc or simplistic rules\, failing to fully capture the overall spatial organization of the TME.\n\nStatistical ecology offers a principled alternative. Rather than treating each component (cell type\, interaction\, or patient image) in isolation\, population-level statistical ecology models study the joint spatial arrangement of all cells at once for the entire patient cohort. These models capture statistically significant patterns of co-location\, avoidance\, interaction\, or spatial clustering that arise from complex intercellular dynamics and differentiate across patients based on covariates. These transparent\, probabilistic models interpretably summarize how spatial structure changes across patients\, quantify uncertainty\, and enable rigorous comparisons across different tumor subtypes or treatment groups. In this way\, they move beyond black-box pattern detection to uncover generalizable biological signals\, distinguishing disease-driven remodeling of tissue architecture from random individual variability.\n\nWe introduce bipps (Bayesian Inference of Point Patterns in Space)\, our first step toward a comprehensive statistical ecology pipeline for TME analysis. bipps is an open source R package that implements and generalizes advanced statistical ecology models for multivariate spatial data. \n\nAbout the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Palmer Commons\, Room 2036\, each Thursday at 12pm EST.

She received her Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2021\, and her bachelor’s degree from Sichuan University in 2015. Her research group currently focuses on hydrogel materials and devices as the new paradigm to control mass transport and light transmission for biomedical and environmental applications. She was awarded Forbes Asia 30 Under 30\, MRS Graduate Student Award\, and Emerging Investigator in\nJMCB.\n\nDesigning soft materials is often a balancing act: when we make a material tougher\, we usually sacrifice other properties that are equally important. For example\, tough materials tend to scatter light and lose transparency\, or resist breakdown and become environmentally persistent. These trade-offs are not just academic curiosities\, but they limit progress in healthcare and sustainability technologies. In this talk\, I will share our efforts to rethink this challenge by building a toolbox that links molecular design\, network topology\, and multiscale structures in polymers. Using this approach\, we have\ndeveloped materials that are simultaneously tough and transparent for optical applications\, as well as materials that are tough yet still programmable to degrade on demand. Beyond these case studies\, I will show how this materials-by-design strategy opens a pathway to multifunctional soft matter systems that can adapt to biological environments\, assist in sustainable manufacturing\, and enable next-generation medical and environmental\ntechnologies.

These systems\, however\, lack the periodic fluctuations\, or biorhythms\, in the cellular microenvironment that effectively integrate “time” into these culture platforms by providing physiological inputs necessary for cellular synchronization and circadian rhythms. Given the central role that circadian rhythms play in health and disease\, this absence is puzzling. For example\, cardiovascular disease\, diabetes\, osteoarthritis\, and asthma\, are just a few diseases with known circadian rhythm effects. Moreover\, more than half of the top 100 selling drugs target the product of a circadian gene\, and multiple clinical trials have retrospectively shown the impact of time-of-day dosing on improved outcomes and increased patient lifespan. The underlying reason conventional systems largely do not integrate temporal dynamics in vitro is because they either require the use of poorly scalable external flow control systems or manual fluid exchanges. In this talk\, I will discuss my group’s research focusing on the development of microfluidic technologies to address the challenges of embedding time within scalable in vitro systems using microfluidic circuits. Additionally\, I will describe microfluidic systems we have developed for the scalable production of microgels for use in packed bed reactors that allow us to perform rhythmic fluidic exchanges in 3D tissue cultures.

While such mutations are important for evolution and complex traits\, much remains to be discovered. In this talk\, I will discuss our work on estimating fitness effects of deleterious mutations using genetic variation data from natural populations. First\, I will describe our computational approach\, FitDadi\, to estimate the distribution of fitness effects (DFE) for amino acid changing mutations in humans and other species. Analysis of how the DFE differs across species provides insights about how the DFE itself evolves. I also will describe our work inferring the DFE of mutations in noncoding regions of the human genome. Next\, I provide a strategy to validate population genetic models of selection and dominance by testing whether they predict observed levels of inbreeding load and match observed genetic data. Lastly\, I will discuss how insights gained from studying deleterious mutations may help identify small populations at risk of inbreeding depression.

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

This perspective is particularly relevant to decarbonization strategies\, where we have great urgency to change the technologies and operations of our energy and transport systems to meet climate targets\, but which require a life cycle perspective to understand their true capacity to reduce emissions and to understand their other environmental\, social or governance issues. In this talk I will discuss the use of life cycle assessment and material flow analysis for improving the transition to a decarbonized future with particular focus on electric vehicles and their batteries as a key\, but not complete\, solution for decarbonization of the transport sector.\n\nBiography:\nProf. Alissa Kendall holds a degree in Environmental Engineering from Duke University (B.S.E. 2000)\, and a PhD jointly conferred in Environmental Engineering and Natural Resource Policy from University of Michigan Ann Arbor (2007) for work conducted at the Center for Sustainable Systems. Prior to pursuing her graduate education\, she worked as an automotive product development engineer focusing on hybrid and electric vehicles. She joined UC Davis as an assistant professor in 2007 and is now the Ray B. Krone Endowed Professor of Environmental Engineering in the UC Davis Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and is the Director of the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies. During her time at UC Davis\, she co-founded and chaired the Energy Graduate Group\, an interdisciplinary Energy Systems degree program\, and created the graduate certificate in Industrial Ecology.\nAs an industrial ecology scholar\, her research focuses on understanding and reducing the environmental effects of many the key systems our modern world relies on including transport\, civil infrastructure\, and agriculture. She has authored and co-authored nearly 100 peer-reviewed journal articles\, and her research has been honored with several awards including the Laudis Medal from the International Society of Industrial Ecology\, UC Davis Chancellor’s Fellow award\, and the UC Davis College of Engineering’s Mid-Career Research Award (2023).

This paper investigates this question by analyzing the impact of immigration on cultural diversity in Europe between 2004 and 2018. It combines regional cultural diversity indices derived from the European Social Survey with immigration shares from the European Labor Force Survey. The findings indicate that immigration increases the salience of birthplace along cultural lines and fosters a shift toward nativist identities and nationalism among the population. In response to the perceived challenge of cultural diversity\, natives increasingly align their norms and values with those of the broader native-identified population.

While colloidal syntheses are increasingly sophisticated\, even the best nanoparticle samples have inherent heterogeneity in the size and shape of the resulting structures\, leading to the need for single particle imaging strategies in order to tease out structure-function relationships. Typically\, however\, most correlated structure-function measurements are performed serially\, in which function is measured first\, followed by structure determination. This talk will introduce calcite-assisted localization and kinetics (CLocK) microscopy as a parallel\, rather than serial\, strategy for performing correlated structure-function measurements on single nanoparticles\, highlighting different strategies for obtaining structural information from all-optical images.

McMaster DESCRIPTION:The Ford School is pleased to present former national security advisor H. R. McMaster for the 7th annual Arthur Vandenberg Lecture. \n\nMcMaster will give his overview of of the many conflicts around the world\, the role the U.S. is playing and can play in the future\, and the prospects for peace\, followed by a conversation with professor of practice Javed Ali of the Weiser Diplomacy Center.\n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\nH. R. McMaster is the Fouad and Michelle Ajami Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution\, Stanford University. He is also the Bernard and Susan Liautaud Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute and lecturer at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. Upon graduation from the United States Military Academy in 1984\, McMaster served as a commissioned officer in the United States Army for thirty-four years. He retired as a Lieutenant General in June 2018 after serving as the 25th assistant to the president for National Security Affairs. He holds a PhD in military history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. McMaster is the host of Battlegrounds: Vital Perspectives on Today’s Challenges and is a regular on GoodFellows\, both produced by the Hoover Institution. He is a Distinguished University Fellow at Arizona State University. \n\nAbout the Vandenberg Lecture:\nThe Meijer Family established the Vandenberg Fund in 2017 to honor U.S. Senator Arthur Vandenberg\, who served the State of Michigan in the U.S. Senate from 1928-1951.

Her last two albums\, 2021’s History of a Feeling and 2024’s two-time Grammy-nominated Weird Faith\, set off a breakthrough for the professional songwriter. These records won over critics\, audiences\, and other collaborators with well-crafted songs and a compelling arc: first there’s the difficult breakup\, then a mourning period and slowly\, a sense of reinvention\; when love comes around again\, Weird Faith seemed to say\, it’s worth fighting through the fear and uncertainty. Fatal Optimist\, the Nashville singer-songwriter’s forthcoming LP\, could be considered the final chapter in this heartache trilogy\, and also its rawest entry. This time Diaz is asking audiences to lean closer in to hear what she has to say.\n\nIn Diaz’s words\, “Fatal Optimism is the innate hope for something magical. It’s the weird faith that kicks in while knowing that there is just plain risk that comes with wanting someone or something. It’s when you have no control over the outcome\, but still choose to experience every moment that happens\, and put your whole heart in it.” UID:136468-21878746@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/136468 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251021T162615 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251023T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251023T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Symphony Band DESCRIPTION:2025 marks the hundredth anniversary of the birth of legendary conductor\, composer\, horn player\, and pedagogue\, Gunther Schuller.

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:137111-21887301@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:20251024T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T170000 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.

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

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.

As the U.S. Energy Information Administration quipped in 2024\, ``the U.S. produces more crude oil than any country\, ever''. The current\, record\, rate of production has been achieved though increases in the industry's oil and gas production per well\, which have out-weighed a decrease in the drilling of new wells since the onset of the boom in 2010. This project asks how\, why\, and when the industry achieved these gains. Our primary focus\, at least for now\, is on decomposing the evolution of output per well into changes due to drilling site selection versus changes due to firms' adoption of improved technologies or fracking inputs. Site selection could be positive (better geologic locations are drilled first)\, negative (firms learn over time which locations are best)\, or some of both. We evaluate these possibilities by developing and estimating a joint model of oil production and drilling decisions. While the model is tailored to the shale oil and gas setting\, its core ideas are applicable to other settings in which the productive outcome of an investment is a function of both the investment's location and the investing firm's skill in executing the project\, conditional on location. The model uses local variation in land leasing difficulty as identifying variation that shifts the timing of firms' first well drilled in each location. And it accounts for firms' ability to learn from previously drilled wells' production realizations before deciding whether to drill additional wells in the same location. Using data from the Bakken Shale in North Dakota\, we find evidence of positive selection early in the boom and negative selection later\, but these effects are swamped by a large increase (~0.5 log points) in output per well that is driven by changes in firms' inputs and application of technology\, conditional on location. Most of this increase occurred shortly after the sharp fall in oil prices and drilling activity in late 2014\, consistent with ``slack time'' theories of innovation.

When combined with appropriate notions of stability\, cross-validation can be adapted to solve many interesting inference problems. In this talk\, I will describe two examples. The first is a variant of cross-validation\, called \"rolling validation\,\" which can achieve superior model selection accuracy for batch data and is naturally extendable to online problems. The second is the construction of confidence sets in discrete population comparison or model selection problems.

The SEC aims to create new and exciting opportunities for undergrads to develop their skills in exhibition-making and installations. \nExhibition Statement\nIn the midst of contemporary chaos there is a quieter\, more isolated struggle to find meaning. As we pursue consistency within our own art making practices\, we must nurture our yearnings for a sustainable community. Fleeting connections can be found in the in-betweens of time and space—cooking with others\, commuting\, etc.\nThe Eye of the Storm is an exhibition demonstrating various forms of individual and collective peacemaking and resistance. This show explores the ways we use creative rituals within the private and public spheres: exploring self identity\, advocating for justice\, fostering care for others and social bonding. The selected artworks reflect each artist's way of staying in motion and/or finding calm amidst complicated or difficult times. \nThis exhibition is organized and juried by SEC student curators Hana Ichikawa\, BFA '26 (lead)\; Urvi Joshi\, BA '26\; Elsie Rogers\, BFA '27\; Jacqueline Vinson\, BFA '27\; and Maggie Watson\, BFA '26. \nThe Eye of the Storm will be on display in the Stamps Gallery atrium from October 17 - November 1\, 2025\, and features work by the following Stamps students:\nSage Booth\, BFA '28Rachel DeVeyra\, BFA '26McKenna Finn\, BA '26Reese Ford\, BFA '26Abigail Garcia\, BFA '27Erin Malone\, BFA '27Summer Mansi\, BFA '27Margaret (Mags) McKinney\, BFA '28Ava Muntner\, BFA '27Mia Noel\, BFA '28Eliana Pettigrew\, BFA '26Oliver Lee St Cyr\, BFA '26Jesse Strohauer\, BFA '28 UID:137209-21879954@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137209 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251003T181516 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Untold Stories\, Part II: A Stamps Faculty Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: September 12 - December 13Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30-8:30 p.m.\nUntold Stories: Part II is the second in a series of three exhibitions featuring the work of faculty members from the Stamps School of Art &\; Design.

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.

In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109 UID:140228-21886773@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Arts Initiative,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery 1019 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251015T141939 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:For All Ages Exhibit DESCRIPTION:In the 19th century\, new ideas about childhood and education\, along with advances in printing like chromolithography\, made it possible to mass-produce games and toys.

Zoom registration is required: http://myumi.ch/A1bGx\n\nBrunei is the last absolutist kingdom in Southeast Asia and the broader Asia-Pacific. Often\, Bruneians are portrayed as passive\, docile subjects of the Sultan\, but the reality is far more nuanced. This lecture reveals a surprising paradox: Bruneians are both citizens and subjects at the same time. I argue that this hybrid status\, which I term 'civic subjecthood\,' compels Bruneians to constantly negotiate their political lives\, balancing their status as subjects with subtle acts of citizenship\, often in the form of ‘quiet activism.’ Tracing the historical development of this dual identity from the twentieth century to the present day\, this lecture explores how a composite system of (neo)traditional and modern governance was invented by the British during indirect rule and later inherited by the Sultan upon independence. Ultimately\, understanding this process not only provides insight into how people perform political life in Brunei's unique system but also offers a new lens for examining how individuals operate under other authoritarian monarchies in the modern world.\n\nMu'izz Abdul Khalid is a Research Associate at the Global Awareness and Impact Alliance (GAIA)\, specializing in authoritarian monarchies and Southeast Asian studies. He brings extensive experience\, having served as a 2024-25 Fung Global Fellow at Princeton University and an adjunct lecturer at Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD).

Titled “Fairness and (In)Equality\,” the symposium will gather the department’s four subfields for guest speaker presentations and discussion.\n\nIn a global context where concerns about “fairness” and “(in)equality” are heightened\, these concepts are simultaneously being challenged\, as the principles and values they embody are becoming subjects of explicit contestation.

DESCRIPTION:Progress toward gender equality in the U.S. labor market is often described as a \"stalled revolution\,\" with rapid progress in the 1980s and 1990s followed by slower change thereafter. This characterization emerges from period-based analyses. We introduce a new approach to studying occupational sex segregation\, distinguishing cohort and life-cycle changes in men’s\, women’s\, and labor-market patterns. We find that few cohorts of women stalled in entering male-dominated occupations relative to their predecessors\, and indeed the youngest cohorts show faster integration. Men’s cohort change is slower but still substantial. The combined effect is a monotonic inter-cohort decline in occupational segregation\, as measured by the index of dissimilarity. Over the life cycle\, women’s likelihood of entering male-dominated occupations increases steadily\, while men’s follows an inverted U-pattern. Cohort and life-cycle patterns vary by parental status and education. Our findings caution against a broad “stalled revolution” narrative and highlight the need for gender inequality theories to attend to the different “clocks” underpinning social change.

The conversation explores how partnerships between communities and institutions can reshape the ways Filipino collections are cared for\, interpreted\, and shared. Panelists will discuss both the opportunities and challenges of building more collaborative models of stewardship\, as well as the importance of making these collections accessible and meaningful to broader Filipino publics. Together\, they will consider how co-curation can foster stronger connections between archives\, cultural institutions\, and the communities whose histories they preserve.\n\nPanelists: Almira Astudillo Gilles and Jamie Kelly (Field Museum)\, Gabbie Mangaser (Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture)\, Analyn Salvador-Amores (University of the Philippines Baguio)\n\nModerator: Tiffany Fryer (University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology)\n\n\nOpening Reception\n5:30pm – 7:00pm\n\nMingle with symposium organizers and panelists over light fare during a reception following the Shared Stewardship and Co-Curation Panel.\n\n\n\nDay 2\nSaturday\, October 25\n\nSound Returns Panel\n9:00am – 10:45am\n\nThis panel examines the power and complexity of returning historic recordings to the communities and places where they were first created. At the heart of this conversation is the question: what happens when voices\, songs\, rituals\, and everyday sounds travel back to the homelands from where they were collected\, often under colonial or extractive conditions? The panel considers how these acts of return intersect with larger movements around archival repatriation\, decolonial practice\, and community stewardship of cultural heritage. Panelists will share their experiences of working with Filipino communities to reintroduce historic recordings\, reflecting on the opportunities for cultural revitalization\, education\, and intergenerational memory. They will also discuss the ethical and practical questions that accompany these efforts: how sound should be cared for and shared\, who holds the authority to interpret it\, and how returning sound can transform both the archive and the communities that engage with it.\n\nPanelists: Lisa Decenteceo (University of the Philippines Center for Ethnomusicology)\, Grace Buenaventura (University of the Philippines Center for Ethnomusicology)\, Kili Piluden (Saint Mary’s School of Sagada)\, David Gowey (Arizona State University)\n\nModerator: Robert Diaz (ReConnect/ReCollect\; PhD Candidate\, University of Michigan Department of History)\n\n\nHuman and Ancestral Remains Panel\n11:00am – 12:30pm\n\nThis panel sets out to reflect on the existence of human and ancestral remains in Western and colonial institutions and what obligations come with that history. The discussion will center on why and how Philippine human and ancestral remains\, including funerary objects\, have been collected\, studied\, or displayed\, and the ethical questions such practices raise. Panelists will highlight current efforts and challenges to return ancestors to their communities\, as well as approaches to stewardship that prioritize dignity\, respect\, and cultural protocols. By centering community perspectives\, the panel considers how institutions can transform their practices around human and ancestral remains.\n\nPanelists: Stephen Acabado (University of California\, Los Angeles)\, Marlon Martin (Save the Ifugao Terraces Movement)\, Francisco Datar (University of the Philippines Diliman)\, Ashley Dequilla (University of Illinois Chicago)\n\nModerator: Alicia Ventresca (University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology)\n\n\nLunch\n12:30pm – 1:30pm\n\nJoin us for a free\, catered lunch with symposium organizers and panelists.\n\n\nMaterialities and Modalities of Return Panel\n1:30pm – 3:00pm\n\nThis panel explores what it means to “return” cultural heritage using surrogates or facsimiles. Focusing on the digitization of photographs\, the panel considers how digital copies circulate\, what they can offer to communities\, and what they cannot replace. At the center of the conversation are questions of authenticity and value: what is “original” in an age of endless reproduction\, and are digital surrogates sufficient to address the absence of physical materials held in Western and colonial institutions? Panelists will reflect on both the possibilities and the limits of digital return\, examining how communities engage with copies\, how institutions frame these practices\, and what forms of accountability and care emerge in the process. Together\, the discussion will grapple with whether surrogacy can serve as restitution\, or if it risks becoming a substitute for the more difficult work of returning physical collections.\n\nPanelists: Cristina Juan (SOAS University of London)\, Christina Lee (Princeton University)\, Nicholas “Hobee” Sy (University of the Philippines Diliman)\, Kiri Dalena (Visual Artist\, Filmmaker\, and Human Rights Activist)\, Lucia Halder (Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum)\, and Lizza May David (Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg)\n\nModerator: Kerstin Barndt (ReConnect/ReCollect\; University of Michigan Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures)\n\n\nArchives Remembered and Remade Panel\n3:15pm – 4:45pm\n\nThis panel investigates how artists create from\, with\, and against colonial archives. The panel explores how artists not only draw inspiration from archival materials but also construct their own archives\, counter-curating to fill silences\, challenge dominant narratives\, and imagine new possibilities. Through their work\, artists intervene in the ways histories are remembered and represented\, becoming active participants in shared stewardship and acts of return. The discussion will highlight how creative practice can repair gaps\, build connections across generations\, and offer alternative ways of holding memory and history.\n\nPanelists: Stephanie Syjuco (University of California\, Berkeley)\, alejandro acierto (Wayne State University)\, LG Sebayan (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)\n\n\nClosing Keynote\n4:45pm – 6:00pm\nThe closing keynote lecture will be given by Regalado Trota José\, Chairperson of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines. For 50 years\, José has researched\, written\, collaborated with various local and international organizations\, and mentored on Philippine cultural heritage during the Spanish colonial period.

How do scholars craft engaging courses that center on the nineteenth century? What strategies can we use to teach our students how to analyze nineteenth-century history\, artifacts\, or texts? What challenges and rewards are there in teaching the nineteenth century today\, and how can we encourage our students to engage with the century’s complexities? To respond to these questions\, the Nineteenth-Century Forum is hosting an interdisciplinary panel on teaching\, with experienced instructors from numerous fields in the humanities. This panel will both equip graduate students and newer instructors to teach effectively and engagingly on topics of the nineteenth century\, as well as create space for cross-disciplinary insights to be shared between members. \n UID:140338-21886946@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140338 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Angell Hall 3241 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251007T113647 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T170000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Shapiro Creepy Crafts Party DESCRIPTION:Have a spooky start to the Halloween season at Shapiro!

In this talk\, I will provide an overview of the operator-learning framework and explore its applications to computational problems\, with a particular focus on quantum many-body dynamics. We will discuss how traditional machine learning models\, such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs)\, can be adapted to learn operators and predict the nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems. Additionally\, I will highlight how transformer-based neural operators can be employed to model the self-energy of strongly correlated systems. Through these examples\, we aim to showcase the potential of operator learning to tackle key challenges in quantum many-body systems\, especially when the dynamics are high-dimensional but not necessarily chaotic.\n\nContact: Zhiyan Ding UID:135812-21877295@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/135812 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251024T142051 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Autotheory Lab DESCRIPTION: UID:140499-21887237@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140499 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:TBA CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251108T123150 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T160000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:CAA Careers: Preparing Your Application DESCRIPTION:CAA is a leading entertainment and sports agency.  We represent many of the most successful professionals working in television\, film\, music\, theatre\, video games\, sports\, and digital content.

South Africa’s Karoo Basin preserves an exceptional fossil record of this transition\, offering a unique opportunity to investigate vertebrate community responses to extreme environmental change. I will discuss some of the hypotheses I am currently testing about the timing and drivers of mass extinction recovery\, and some preliminary results. These include some detrital zircon geochronology\, which refine the traditional placement of the Permo-Triassic boundary\, and support a synchronous extinction event across the basin. The paleobiological insights of the “Distaster taxon” Lystrosaurus\, such as juvenile aggregation\, burrowing\, growth and life history patterns and broad environmental tolerance may have all been factors that contributed to its success during a prolonged biodiversity crisis. Body size analyses support a pronounced \"Lilliput effect\,\" with smaller-bodied taxa dominating Early Triassic assemblages\, suggesting smaller faunivores and burrowers were robust to the effects of the extinction. Food web reconstructions indicate reduced community stability post-extinction\, with true recovery delayed until the Middle Triassic. These findings provide critical insights into the origin and evolution of the dominant tetrapods of the Mesozoic (e.g.\, archosaurs\, mammaliaforms) and today (e.g.\, birds\, crocodilians\, mammals). They also highlight the interplay of climatic stressors and biotic interactions in shaping past and present biodiversity crises.

To untangle full-length cell-type specific brain isoforms\, we developed single-cell long-read technology for many thousands of cells (from previous approaches for 10-100 cells) in fresh tissues (ScISOr-Seq\; Gupta..Tilgner\, 20181) and in frozen tissues (SnISOr-Seq\; Hardwick..Tilgner\, 20222). These approaches revealed the rules of combination of TSSs\, alternative exons and poly(A) sites and their cell-type specificity. Autism-associated exons (as previously described) but also FTD-associated exons are highly variably-used across cell types2. For spatial resolution\, we developed spatially-barcoded isoform sequencing with 60um (Joglekar..Tilgner\, 20213)\, 10um (Foord..Tilgner\, 20254) and 220nm (Michielsen..Tilgner\, biorxiv5) spots\, showing that often isoform switches correlate with precise boundaries of brain structures (e.g.\, choroid plexus to hippocampus). However\, genes including Snap25\, use a gradient of exon inclusion through the brain3. Choroid plexus epithelial cells show a dramatically distinct isoform profile\, which originates most strongly from TSS usage3. During human puberty\, layer4-excitatory splicing is more regulated than in other cortical layers – probably influenced by retroviral sequences4. More generally\, we can now detect isoform-expression variability that does not correspond to known brain structures5.\n\n\nFor the NIH Brain Initiative\, we have mapped single-cell isoforms across development\, brain regions and species. Neurotransmitter release and reuptake as well as synapse turnover genes harbor variability in the same cell type across anatomical regions but the same cell type traced across development shows more isoform variability than across adult anatomical regions. Moreover\, most cell-type-specific exons in adult mouse hippocampus behave similarly in human hippocampi. However\, human brains have evolved additional cell-type specificity in splicing (Joglekar..Tilgner\, 20246). Additionally\, the concurrent measurement of chromatin and splicing patterns in post-mortem human brain shows broadly-speaking convergent dysregulation of both modalities in similar cell types in Alzheimer’s disease but more divergence between both modalities in evolution (Hu..Tilgner\, 20257). Finally\, we have advanced our understanding of error sources of PacBio and ONT (Mikheenko..Tilgner\, 20228) and implemented highly accurate long-read software (Prjibelski..Tilgner\, 20239).

But not all infrastructure is created and maintained by public institutions. Some technologies that start life as private luxuries develop into systems that are crucial to public goods: they become infrastructural. In this lecture\, Professor Jorgensen explores key questions that these transitions raise for democratic governance. When has a technology become infrastructure? Why does that change what justice requires? Drawing on classical social contract theory and regulatory lessons of the past\, she sketches a political philosophy of infrastructure\, and asks what telephones and traffic can teach us about governing digital technologies.\n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join.\n\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/92506595964\n\nPhone one-tap:\n+13017158592\,\,92506595964# US (Washington DC)\n+13052241968\,\,92506595964# US\n\nJoin via audio:\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\nWebinar ID: 925 0659 5964\nInternational numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/aeruAEIWsR UID:139190-21885029@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139190 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,Humanities,Philosophy,Politics LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 10th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251020T113444 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T173000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Summer in South Asia Symposium DESCRIPTION:Hear from this year's Summer in South Asia Fellows about their experiences in India and to learn more about this fully-funded fellowship.\n \n Established in 2006 by the Center for South Asia Studies with a generous donation from an anonymous donor\, the Summer in South Asia Fellowship has provided more than 100 students with funding for research and internships in India.

This award recognizes individuals who share evidence-based science and challenge misinformation\, helping us all better understand the role of evolution in shaping the mind. The winner will deliver an address highlighting efforts to improve scholarly and public dialogue.\n\nLecture Abstract: Psychoactive drugs are widely used\, it is thought\, because they hijack reward-related neural circuitry. But most globally popular drugs\, such as tobacco\, coffee\, cannabis\, and cocaine\, are highly toxic plant defensive chemicals that activate evolved toxin defense mechanisms\, which has been termed the paradox of drug reward. Analyses of large national and cross-national datasets reveals how evolved toxin defense mechanisms profoundly shape age and sex patterns of drug use. Comparative evidence from primates and other species\, as well as from hunter-gatherers\, suggests that a “taste” for drugs might have evolved as a form of self-medication against parasites.\n\nAbout the speaker: Edward Hagen received his BA in mathematics from UC Berkeley and his Ph.D. from UC Santa Barbara. After a postdoc position at the Institute for Theoretical Biology in Berlin\, he moved to his current position at Washington State University. His primary research focus is evolutionary medicine. He studies the evolution of depression\, suicidality\, and self-harm as credible signals of need in times of conflict as well as evolutionary explanations for tobacco and other plant toxin use. He also investigates the evolution of leadership\, religion\, and music.

This symposium brings together scholars\, archivists\, cultural heritage workers\, and community activists from across the globe who are collaborating and advocating to better represent and activate Philippine collections in libraries\, archives\, and museums.\n\nThe central question that will be explored throughout the two-day symposium is: What are the current and future directions of shared stewardship of Philippine colonial collections? The symposium will be a space to share resources and insights\, further explore and develop best practices for caring for Philippine collections across institutions\, and continue building networks amongst those pursuing reparative work related to Philippine collections. Speakers will discuss their efforts to rethink and intervene in institutional practices and bring Philippine collections closer to communities by pursuing outright repatriation\, knowledge sharing using digital tools\, and/or shared stewardship arrangements.\n\nThe Balikan: Shared Stewardship and Ethical Returns for Philippine Collections symposium is part of ReConnect/ReCollect: Reparative Connections to Philippine Collections at the University of Michigan led by Deirdre de la Cruz and Ricky Punzalan and operating in partnership with the Inclusive History Project at the University of Michigan.\n\n*Balikan in Tagalog means to return to something\; to return for something\; to return to somewhere.\n\nRegistration is not required\, but encouraged.

The conversation explores how partnerships between communities and institutions can reshape the ways Filipino collections are cared for\, interpreted\, and shared. Panelists will discuss both the opportunities and challenges of building more collaborative models of stewardship\, as well as the importance of making these collections accessible and meaningful to broader Filipino publics. Together\, they will consider how co-curation can foster stronger connections between archives\, cultural institutions\, and the communities whose histories they preserve.\n\nPanelists: Almira Astudillo Gilles and Jamie Kelly (Field Museum)\, Gabbie Mangaser (Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture)\, Analyn Salvador-Amores (University of the Philippines Baguio)\n\nModerator: Tiffany Fryer (University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology)\n\n\nOpening Reception\n5:30pm – 7:00pm\n\nMingle with symposium organizers and panelists over light fare during a reception following the Shared Stewardship and Co-Curation Panel.\n\n\n\nDay 2\nSaturday\, October 25\n\nSound Returns Panel\n9:00am – 10:45am\n\nThis panel examines the power and complexity of returning historic recordings to the communities and places where they were first created. At the heart of this conversation is the question: what happens when voices\, songs\, rituals\, and everyday sounds travel back to the homelands from where they were collected\, often under colonial or extractive conditions? The panel considers how these acts of return intersect with larger movements around archival repatriation\, decolonial practice\, and community stewardship of cultural heritage. Panelists will share their experiences of working with Filipino communities to reintroduce historic recordings\, reflecting on the opportunities for cultural revitalization\, education\, and intergenerational memory. They will also discuss the ethical and practical questions that accompany these efforts: how sound should be cared for and shared\, who holds the authority to interpret it\, and how returning sound can transform both the archive and the communities that engage with it.\n\nPanelists: Lisa Decenteceo (University of the Philippines Center for Ethnomusicology)\, Grace Buenaventura (University of the Philippines Center for Ethnomusicology)\, Kili Piluden (Saint Mary’s School of Sagada)\, David Gowey (Arizona State University)\n\nModerator: Robert Diaz (ReConnect/ReCollect\; PhD Candidate\, University of Michigan Department of History)\n\n\nHuman and Ancestral Remains Panel\n11:00am – 12:30pm\n\nThis panel sets out to reflect on the existence of human and ancestral remains in Western and colonial institutions and what obligations come with that history. The discussion will center on why and how Philippine human and ancestral remains\, including funerary objects\, have been collected\, studied\, or displayed\, and the ethical questions such practices raise. Panelists will highlight current efforts and challenges to return ancestors to their communities\, as well as approaches to stewardship that prioritize dignity\, respect\, and cultural protocols. By centering community perspectives\, the panel considers how institutions can transform their practices around human and ancestral remains.\n\nPanelists: Stephen Acabado (University of California\, Los Angeles)\, Marlon Martin (Save the Ifugao Terraces Movement)\, Francisco Datar (University of the Philippines Diliman)\, Ashley Dequilla (University of Illinois Chicago)\n\nModerator: Alicia Ventresca (University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology)\n\n\nLunch\n12:30pm – 1:30pm\n\nJoin us for a free\, catered lunch with symposium organizers and panelists.\n\n\nMaterialities and Modalities of Return Panel\n1:30pm – 3:00pm\n\nThis panel explores what it means to “return” cultural heritage using surrogates or facsimiles. Focusing on the digitization of photographs\, the panel considers how digital copies circulate\, what they can offer to communities\, and what they cannot replace. At the center of the conversation are questions of authenticity and value: what is “original” in an age of endless reproduction\, and are digital surrogates sufficient to address the absence of physical materials held in Western and colonial institutions? Panelists will reflect on both the possibilities and the limits of digital return\, examining how communities engage with copies\, how institutions frame these practices\, and what forms of accountability and care emerge in the process. Together\, the discussion will grapple with whether surrogacy can serve as restitution\, or if it risks becoming a substitute for the more difficult work of returning physical collections.\n\nPanelists: Cristina Juan (SOAS University of London)\, Christina Lee (Princeton University)\, Nicholas “Hobee” Sy (University of the Philippines Diliman)\, Kiri Dalena (Visual Artist\, Filmmaker\, and Human Rights Activist)\, Lucia Halder (Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum)\, and Lizza May David (Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg)\n\nModerator: Kerstin Barndt (ReConnect/ReCollect\; University of Michigan Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures)\n\n\nArchives Remembered and Remade Panel\n3:15pm – 4:45pm\n\nThis panel investigates how artists create from\, with\, and against colonial archives. The panel explores how artists not only draw inspiration from archival materials but also construct their own archives\, counter-curating to fill silences\, challenge dominant narratives\, and imagine new possibilities. Through their work\, artists intervene in the ways histories are remembered and represented\, becoming active participants in shared stewardship and acts of return. The discussion will highlight how creative practice can repair gaps\, build connections across generations\, and offer alternative ways of holding memory and history.\n\nPanelists: Stephanie Syjuco (University of California\, Berkeley)\, alejandro acierto (Wayne State University)\, LG Sebayan (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)\n\n\nClosing Keynote\n4:45pm – 6:00pm\nThe closing keynote lecture will be given by Regalado Trota José\, Chairperson of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines. For 50 years\, José has researched\, written\, collaborated with various local and international organizations\, and mentored on Philippine cultural heritage during the Spanish colonial period.

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

The SEC aims to create new and exciting opportunities for undergrads to develop their skills in exhibition-making and installations. \nExhibition Statement\nIn the midst of contemporary chaos there is a quieter\, more isolated struggle to find meaning. As we pursue consistency within our own art making practices\, we must nurture our yearnings for a sustainable community. Fleeting connections can be found in the in-betweens of time and space—cooking with others\, commuting\, etc.\nThe Eye of the Storm is an exhibition demonstrating various forms of individual and collective peacemaking and resistance. This show explores the ways we use creative rituals within the private and public spheres: exploring self identity\, advocating for justice\, fostering care for others and social bonding. The selected artworks reflect each artist's way of staying in motion and/or finding calm amidst complicated or difficult times. \nThis exhibition is organized and juried by SEC student curators Hana Ichikawa\, BFA '26 (lead)\; Urvi Joshi\, BA '26\; Elsie Rogers\, BFA '27\; Jacqueline Vinson\, BFA '27\; and Maggie Watson\, BFA '26. \nThe Eye of the Storm will be on display in the Stamps Gallery atrium from October 17 - November 1\, 2025\, and features work by the following Stamps students:\nSage Booth\, BFA '28Rachel DeVeyra\, BFA '26McKenna Finn\, BA '26Reese Ford\, BFA '26Abigail Garcia\, BFA '27Erin Malone\, BFA '27Summer Mansi\, BFA '27Margaret (Mags) McKinney\, BFA '28Ava Muntner\, BFA '27Mia Noel\, BFA '28Eliana Pettigrew\, BFA '26Oliver Lee St Cyr\, BFA '26Jesse Strohauer\, BFA '28 UID:137209-21879955@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137209 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251003T181516 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251025T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251025T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Untold Stories\, Part II: A Stamps Faculty Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: September 12 - December 13Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30-8:30 p.m.\nUntold Stories: Part II is the second in a series of three exhibitions featuring the work of faculty members from the Stamps School of Art &\; Design.

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.

A true icon of modern music\, Hancock has transcended limitations and genres while maintaining his unmistakable voice\, and there are few artists in the music industry who have had more influence on acoustic and electronic jazz and R&B.\n\nBorn in Chicago in 1940\, Hancock was a piano prodigy who performed a Mozart piano concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at age 11\, years before he began playing jazz. After Detroit trumpeter Donald Byrd recognized his talents as a 20-year-old\, he signed with Blue Note Records as a solo artist\; his 1963 album produced the hit “Watermelon Man\,” which marked him as an instant success story. A history-shaping tenure with the Miles Davis Quintet followed\, and he would later herald the birth of jazz fusion. In short\, he has been an integral part of every popular musical movement in the 50+ years since\, leaving an indelible imprint wherever he lands. This performance marks Hancock’s fourth UMS concert appearance since 2000 and his first since April 2015.

Hailing from southeastern Ohio\, with Appalachian roots woven into her stories\, she balances heart-tugging ballads with a sly grin and the occasional perfectly timed zinger. Along the way\, she’s earned top honors at Mountain Stage NewSong\, Kerrville New Folk\, Sisters Folk Festival\, to name a few. Fellow musicians call her “the real deal\,” audiences call her music “a warm blanket\,” and she just calls it “medicine.”\n\nHope Dunbar has been a pioneer of what she calls \"New American Prairie style\,\" crafting semi-autobiographical songs that transform everyday life into art. Her work has garnered recognition\, including being a three-time finalist at the Kerrville New Folk Song Contest. After residing in a small town in Nebraska\, Dunbar relocated to New Jersey\, bringing her unique \"Big Sky sound\" to the East Coast. \n\nClear-eyed and tough-minded\, songwriter/playwright Katie Dahl is known for her smart songs\, wry wit\, and wise spirit. A small-town celebrity on the Wisconsin peninsula where her family has lived for 175 years\, Katie is also an internationally touring\, radio-charting artist who “delivers razor-sharp lyrics with a hearty\, soulful voice” (American Songwriter). In live shows that are both courageously honest and devilishly funny\, Katie dives deep into questions of land and love\, family and body image\, grief and joy. “In unsettled times\,” says Peter Mulvey\, “Katie Dahl brings us a grounded spirit.” UID:140952-21887860@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140952 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251022T111451 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260225T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Grant Flick DESCRIPTION:Album release show!\n\nGrant Flick is a multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, educator\, and collaborative artist currently based in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. While his main instrument is violin he typically inhabits spaces where it is not uncommon to find him playing nyckelharpa\, tenor guitar\, mandolin\, or just about any other fifth-tuned stringed instrument. He lives fluidally between idioms/genres with a focus on original instrumental music primarily influenced by American improvisational idioms (bluegrass\, jazz\, new acoustic music\, etc.)\, the music of Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli\, and chamber music both new and old. His most recent album “The Great Door” showcases his writing style in a quartet featuring entirely original material.\n\nGrant believes that instrumental music is a medium of thought that has the power to express ideas that words cannot define. He loves to collaborate with others in this artform. You can hear him play with projects such as his duo with outstanding bassist Jacob Warren creatively titled “Warren & Flick\,” his unique original quartet “Westbound Situation\,” or transatlantic inspired fiddling duos with Hannah O’Brien. The work of these projects is documented on albums such as “Cormorant” (Warren & Flick)\, “Accord” (Westbound Situation)\, and “Unmatched Pair” (Hannah O’Brien & Grant Flick). \n\nThis performance will be a celebration of Grant’s latest release \"The Great Door\".

As the calendar pages have turned\, for almost a quarter of a century now\, this poet laureate of the folk and roots music world has gone about his work with a combination of passion\, intent and intensity\, and curiosity.\n\nFusing his insatiable appetite for finding the next unique storyline Keelaghan also forges his pieces with brilliantly defined craftsmanship and a monogrammed artistic vision\, making him one of the most distinctive and readily identifiable voices of not only the Canadian scene\, but as a member of the international singer-songwriter community.\n\nAdmiration and respect for his work amongst his peers is best summed up by David Francey who recently stated that\, “James Keelaghan is a voice in contemporary Canadian songwriting that has helped us define who we are as a people. He writes with great humanity and honesty\, with an eye to the past and a vision of the future. He has chronicled his times with powerful and abiding songs\, with heart and eyes wide open.” UID:140951-21887859@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140951 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
