This one-day event invites students\, data enthusiasts\, and community members to work side-by-side and analyze real-world data for meaningful impact\, no matter your experience level. This year\, in partnership with the Michigan Department of State\, participants will dive into campaign finance disclosure data to uncover important trends and insights in Michigan politics.\n\nWhy Campaign Finance Data?\nWho funds politics\, and why does it matter? Campaign finance data tracks who gives money to candidates\, how that money is spent\, and how it can potentially influence election outcomes. But often\, that data can be difficult to access or understand. At this event\, participants will dive into real campaign finance disclosure data\, explore the patterns of money and influence in Michigan elections\, and develop solutions that make this information more transparent and usable. By turning complex data into insight\, participants will walk away more informed and help communities be empowered through data access\, data transparency\, and a stronger democracy\, all while putting their skills to work for the public good.\n\nAbout A2 Data Dive\nParticipants of all skill levels are welcome at the A2 Data Dive and preceding events. Whether participants are looking to enhance their data skills or contribute to community impact\, A2 Data Dive offers a welcoming environment to analyze and democratize data\, connect with others\, and make a difference.\n\nTo learn about past Data Dives\, please visit the A2 Data Dive website. For any questions\, please email umsi.engagement@umich.edu.

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.

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.

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 2014\, using macro photography to explore his backyard garden\, he unknowingly began walking a naturalist’s path and documenting native pollinators and invertebrates. His large format prints of local invertebrates are currently on exhibit outside of the Belle Isle Nature Center\, with other works on exhibit inside the Center. With them\, he seeks to inspire viewers to take a closer look at the tiny world around us.\n\n \n\nArtist Statement\n\nTo me\, the little things matter.\n\nThrough my work as a photographer\, I share the unseen and overlooked world of nature that surrounds us. My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment. Ultimately\, I seek to capture the unique beauty of creatures not usually perceived as beautiful and aim to create images that evoke emotion and curiosity. In so doing I strive to raise awareness of the importance of these creatures in our world and dispel any fears the viewer may have.\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josephferraro/\n\nWeb: https://www.joseph-ferraro.com UID:141375-21888719@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141375 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Free,garden,matthaei,matthaei botanical gardens,Sustainability,Visual Arts LOCATION:Matthaei Botanical Gardens CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251108T181529 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251109T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251107T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Men's Tennis vs ITA Sectional Championships DESCRIPTION:Men's Tennis vs ITA Sectional Championships UID:141627-21889110@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141627 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Men's Tennis LOCATION:Varsity Tennis Bldg CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251024T091720 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251109T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251109T130000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:DMUM Annual 5K DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to invite you to one of Dance Marathon's largest fundraising events of the year\, our annual 5K!

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 talk will provide an overview of our ongoing research quantifying the environmental and operational implications of vehicle electrification across different segments. We examine how electric passenger cars\, delivery vans\, and transit buses differ in their energy use\, emissions\, and cost trajectories using a combination of data-driven modeling\, optimization\, and system analysis. Example studies I will introduce in this talk include regional life cycle emissions assessment for passenger cars\, real-world energy consumption prediction for delivery fleets\, and transition planning for clean bus networks using a multi-stage stochastic optimization model . Together\, these studies demonstrate how analytical and data-driven methods can help us investigate vehicle performance\, fleet operations\, and system-level emissions outcomes\, providing actionable insights.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Tuğçe Yüksel is an Assistant Professor in Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences at Sabancı University\, Istanbul\, Turkey.

Probing the Higgs boson-charm quark coupling with the CMS Experiment DESCRIPTION:How strongly the Higgs boson couples to second-generation quarks remains a central open question for testing the Standard Model’s flavor structure. I will present the CMS program targeting the Higgs boson-charm quark Yukawa coupling via Higgs decays to a pair of charm quarks. I will focus on a new search in the until-recently unexplored production mode where the Higgs boson is produced in association with a top-quark pair\, and discuss complementary searches in associated production with W or Z bosons. The key enabling tools in these searches are cutting-edge jet-flavor identification algorithms and novel analysis strategies that exploit event-level correlations\, both of which are powered by state-of-the-art deep learning techniques. I will outline prospects at the HL-LHC and close with opportunities at future Higgs factories.

But interacting with new and diverse social partners also offers benefits\, like novelty\, a sense of belonging\, and future friendship. A healthy social network therefore balances social exploitation (investing in familiar relationships) and social exploration (interacting with strangers and embracing differences). In this talk\, I first present survey and experience sampling data that suggests preferences for spending time with friends versus acquaintances predict distinct patterns in well-being and social network structure. Despite its benefits\, social exploration comes with challenges: it can be harder to connect and or find common ground with dissimilar others. Drawing on sociocentric network data\, I show that successful exploration hinges not just on who we meet\, but how we perceive them: perceived similarity\, more than actual similarity\, predicts outcomes like belonging and even shared laughter. These findings suggest that the explore-exploit tradeoff in social life is not just about who we spend time with\, but how we bridge the unfamiliar into the familiar.\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 conversation will explore the complex and challenging experiences faced by farmworkers today\, as well as their heightened precarity due to the policies of the current administration\, through the lens of academic research\, public health\, visual storytelling\, and legal advocacy.\n\nMeet the Participants:\n\nNarsiso Martinez (b. 1977\, Oaxaca\, Mexico) came to the United States when he was 20 years old. He attended Evans Community Adult School and completed high school in 2006 at the age of 29. He earned an Associate of Arts degree in 2009 from Los Angeles City College. In the fall of 2012 Narsiso earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from California State University Long Beach. In the spring of 2018 he received a Master of Fine Arts degree in drawing and painting from California State University Long Beach\, and was awarded the prestigious Dedalus Foundation MFA Fellowship in Painting and Sculpture. His work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. His work is in the collections of the Hammer Museum\, OCMA\, Amon Carter Museum of American Art\, University of Arizona Museum of Art\, Long Beach Museum of Art\, Crocker Art Museum\, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon\, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Martinez lives and works in Long Beach\, CA.\n\nDr. Iglesias-Rios’s research interests are the intersection of environmental and occupational health with precarious employment and labor exploitation in vulnerable populations. Her previous research assessed the impact of labor trafficking by studying how patterns of violence and coercion affect the mental health of female and male trafficking survivors including children\, adolescents and adults. She also sought to understand how the living and working conditions during trafficking affect the mental health of survivors. Dr. Iglesias-Rios is the Co-Investigator of the Michigan Farmworker Project\, a community-based participatory project that assess the working and living conditions of migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the state of Michigan. The focus of the research is to investigate indicators of precarious employment and labor exploitation that involve psychosocial\, occupational and environmental exposures and complex contextual conditions (social\, economic and physical milieu) of farmworkers.\n\nAmanda Krugliak is a curator and artist known for performative\, conceptual\, and experiential installations\, in charge of programming for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery since 2009. In 2012\, she co-created the internationally recognized installation *State of Exception *with artist Richard Barnes and U-M anthropologist Jason De León based upon De León’s Undocumented Migration Project. She is frequently a guest lecturer and leads workshops on curating scholarship and the gallery as a social justice practice.

I'll discuss our recent preprint about affine semigroup rings\, which are fun and important examples of commutative rings formed from the combinatorial data of an affine semigroup\, which is a subset of N^n (or sometimes Z^n) which contains the zero vector and are closed under the usual +. We studied the problem of Frobenius closure in affine semigroup rings\, which\, due to some theorems of Bruns-Li-Römer\, are controlled by the (weak) normalization map. We construct an adjustment to an affine semigroup A which we called the p-weak normalization of A\, which depends on a fixed prime number p\, and from that we are able to bound Frobenius closure in the corresponding affine semigroup ring over a field of that characteristic. We also provide a script which compute this new weak normalization and then can use Macaulay2 to compute Frobenius closure in affine semigroup rings defined over Z/pZ.

Ethics\, Algorithms\, and History DESCRIPTION:Building on the arguments in his recent book\, Ethics of the Algorithm: Digital Humanities and Holocaust Memory (2024)\, this talk focuses on the challenges and possibilities of using computational methods to interpret the legacies of historical violence and archives of testimonial witnessing. Moving between ‘digital humanities’ and ‘AI humanities\,’ Presner explores the meaning-making processes of algorithms and interrogates the decision-making mechanisms of Large Language Models for the study of history and memory.\n\nTodd Presner is Chair of UCLA’s Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies and serves as Special Advisor to Vice Chancellor Roger Wakimoto in the Office for Research and Creative Activities (2018-present).

They have a robust notion of Fourier coefficients\, defined in an analytic way. Using the Fourier coefficients\, I will give an algebraic characterization of the cuspidal quaternionic modular forms (on F_4\, E_6\, E_7\, E_8) in terms of holomorphic modular forms on smaller rank groups. That is\, I will explain how cuspidal QMFs on these exceptional groups can be reconstructed from holomorphic modular forms on groups of type SO(2\,n) and SL_2 in an algebraic way. As a consequence\, I deduce that the cuspidal QMFs on F_4\, E_6\, E_7\, and E_8 have a basis where every element of this basis has all Fourier coefficients being algebraic numbers.

We also construct time series spanning over 20 years in 86 countries. Hours worked per adult are slightly bell-shaped with GDP per capita but weakly correlated with development overall. Hours worked by the young (aged 15-19) and elderly (aged 60+) decline with development\, driven by growing school attendance and public pension coverage. Hours worked among prime-age adults (aged 20-59) are mildly bell-shaped with development for men while they are increasing for women. The fall in male hours in middle-to-higher income countries is driven by reduced hours per worker and is offset by increases in female labor force participation. These two forces have exactly compensated each other in many countries\, leading to a remarkable long-run stability of prime-age hours worked. Labor taxes are strongly negatively correlated with prime-age hours worked both in international comparisons and overtime within countries. Controlling for government transfers only partly reduces the link between labor taxes and prime-age hours\, ruling out substitution and income effects on labor supply as the only driver. Controlling for working hours regulations and the size of the formal sector eliminates this link\, suggesting that regulations also play a large role in reducing intensive hours in higher-income countries.

Moving away from the eugenic principles that dominated the first part of this period\, policy increasingly treated disability as something to be accommodated rather than eliminated\, and disabled people as folks who should be supported to live full lives in the community. \n\nBut recent events -- punitive responses to mental illness and homelessness at the state and federal levels\, the dramatic retrenchment of Medicaid and other support programs during the past few months\, and others -- threaten to return us to the world of the Eugenics Era and the English Poor Laws before that\, in which disability is treated as a drain on society and those with disabilities are to be highly regulated. \n\nThis lecture will elaborate on these points.\n\nSince 2018\, Hal and Carol Kohn and the Kohn Charitable Trust have committed a total of $17 million to the Ford School to establish the Kohn Collaborative for Social Policy\, a hub that will catalyze interdisciplinary research and policy impact to promote social equity and inclusion for all U.S. residents. The collaborative consists of three pillars: Kohn Professors\, Kohn Scholars\, and policy impact. The Arlene Susan Kohn Professor of Social Policy is one of five Kohn professorships\, specifically to support research that contributes to policies advancing the rights of disabled individuals in the United States.

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.

Professor Tach will present\, \"The Cumulative Impact of Federal Place-Based Policies on Neighborhood Inequality\, 1990-2019.\"\n\nAbstract: “Concentrated neighborhood disadvantage remains a defining feature of the U.S. landscape\, sustained by legacies of racial exclusion and public disinvestment. In recent decades\, the federal government has increasingly invested in high-poverty neighborhoods via place-based policies—spatially targeted interventions designed to improve economic opportunity\, housing\, and local infrastructure. Although prior research has examined the effects of specific place-based programs\, we know less about the collective and cumulative impact of the place-based policy field as a whole. This study develops a novel framework for assessing policy impact at the field level to evaluate how an array of federal place-based housing and economic development initiatives have jointly reshaped disadvantaged neighborhoods. Using longitudinal data that link federal funding streams to specific neighborhoods from 1990 to 2019\, we find that federal economic development programs significantly improved local economic and housing indicators but also induced racialized patterns of residential displacement. By contrast\, place-based federal housing programs increased property values while preserving rental affordability and demographic stability. We assess the ecological significance of these changes and find that they were substantial enough to alter durable patterns of neighborhood stratification within metropolitan areas. This analysis highlights how examining the collective and cumulative influence of policy fields—rather than discrete interventions—illuminates the state’s evolving role in producing and potentially transforming urban inequality.” UID:141228-21888427@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:policy,Political Economy,Public Policy,Sociology LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 BD CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251111T112047 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251111T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251111T123000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Lunch with the Deans (Fall 2025) hosted by the Rackham Student Government DESCRIPTION:Want a chance to meet and chat with the Rackham Graduate School Deans?

In our model\, households’ price elasticities of demand endogenously vary with wealth. Heterogeneous firms set their price as oligopolistic competitors given the endogenous distribution of demand. A firm’s market power varies with the distribution of demand as households with different elasticities sort into high- and low-price varieties. Under standard preferences\, larger firms’ products are more appealing\, sell at higher prices\, to more households\, and a relatively richer customer base\, face less elastic demand\, and set higher markups. Quantitatively (a) our model rationalizes a wide set of recent empirical studies in the cross-section of households and firms\, (b) we find household heterogeneity to be a dominant source of markup variation across firms\, and (c) a one-time fiscal transfer of one percent of GDP to households leads to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the aggregate markup.

While we have ample data on species-level responses to global change\, our knowledge of the intricate web of biotic interactions that structure ecological communities remains limited. Using birds of North America\, I present two case studies on how the community composition and species interactions are affected by global change\, especially human-induced land use changes. Then\, I introduce a novel pipeline that enables automatic extraction of species interactions data from citizen science platforms using large language models. Together\, these studies present a new framework on studying the community-level consequences of global change in birds and beyond.

This coupling increases the need to have reliable uncertainty quantification. Traditional methods for such estimation\, however\, require distributional assumptions that are incompatible with these modern black-box estimators. In their place\, post-hoc\, distribution-free methods of uncertainty quantification have arisen. Among these is ``conformal prediction.'' At its core\, conformal prediction performs uncertainty quantification by replacing model point predictions with ``prediction regions\,'' subsets of the output space whose shape and size are defined to guarantee coverage of the truth with some user-specified probability.\n\nDespite such guarantees\, these implicitly defined predictions regions do not directly lend themselves to practical use\; while researchers professed their supposed utility\, their downstream use was not immediately obvious. In this thesis\, we propose and develop one such use: model-based decision-making. We demonstrate that conformal prediction can be integrated into a variety of decision-making pipelines\, from single-step predict-then-optimize problems to model-based LQR control\, and consequently enable guarantees on suboptimality that otherwise cannot be established.\n\nWe develop this conformal decision-making framework over three works. In the first\, we focus on the development of conformal prediction in the space of scientific inquiry: here\, decisions are often framed as hypothesis testing of parameter values. Increasingly common in certain domains\, such as astrophysics and neuroscience\, is the use approximate variational inference to do such parameter estimation\, due to the large scale at which such estimation is to be performed. Amortized variational inference produces a posterior approximation that can be rapidly computed given any new observation. Unfortunately\, there are few guarantees about the quality of these approximate posteriors. We propose Conformalized Amortized Neural Variational Inference (CANVI)\, a procedure that is scalable\, easily implemented\, and provides guaranteed marginal coverage. Given a collection of candidate amortized posterior approximators\, CANVI constructs conformalized predictors based on each candidate\, compares the predictors using a metric known as predictive efficiency\, and returns the most efficient predictor. \n\nIn the next work\, we generalize the setting for such robust decision-making\, expanding from scientific parameter testing to a more general space of ``predict-then-optimize'' problems. As in standard decision-making formulations\, these problems frame the decision-making task as a parametric optimization problem. The unique aspect here\, however\, is that the parameters of the problem are not revealed to the decision-maker. As a result\, the decision-maker is forced to estimate the unknown parameters and optimize their decision against this surrogate objective\, hence the given name: the estimation is performed by ``predicting'' the parameters with an upstream model. In the nominal approach\, the parameters predicted by the upstream model are assumed to precisely coincide with the true\, unknown parameters\; this approach of specification\, however\, fails to have any formal guarantees on the resulting decision. Towards this end\, we develop a robust analog of this nominal problem formulation\, called ``Conformal Predict-Then-Optimize'' (CPO)\, from which suboptimality guarantees can be established. We then demonstrate how a simple\, residual-based score results in overly conservative decision-making and propose an alternative score that produces structured\, non-convex prediction regions and\, in turn\, more informative decisions. \n\nFinally\, we demonstrate the generality of the proposed conformal predict-then-optimize decision-making framework. In particular\, we demonstrate that CPO can be extended to a recently proposed extension to conformal prediction in which the scalar score function is replaced with an analogous vector score and the quantile threshold by a quantile envelope. We similarly demonstrate that CPO naturally lends itself to extension to model-based robust control applications. We\, thus\, develop extensions across these two applications and then demonstrate the consistent empirical improvements produced in each.

We present our methodology which is developed to extract 3D vehicle kinematic information from roadside cameras using deep learning. Ground truth data are collected with the help of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) in terms of top view bounding boxes\, providing vehicle position\, size\, orientation\, and velocity information with high precision. These can be converted to roadside view bounding boxes using homography transformation. The ground truth data and the roadside view images are used to train a modified YOLO neural network\, and thus\, to learn the homography transformation matrix. The output of the neural network is high-precision vehicle kinematic information which can be visualized in both the top view and the roadside view. Once the neural network is trained\, only the roadside cameras are needed to extract the kinematic information.\n\nMore on this research: https://ccat.umtri.umich.edu/research/u-m/generating-high-accuracy-transportation-datasets-with-unmanned-aerial-vehicles/\n---\nAbout the speaker: Gabor Orosz received an MSc degree in Engineering Physics from the Budapest University of Technology\, Hungary\, in 2002\, and a PhD degree in Engineering Mathematics from the University of Bristol\, UK\, in 2006.

These insights include: the remarkable developmental flexibility of youth\, particularly in the face of social and cultural change\; the desire and capacity for adolescents to contribute to their families and communities\; the aspirations of young people to succeed economically as adults\; and\, how adolescents' flexibility\, contributions\, and aspirations can be constrained by socioeconomic\, ethnic\, and racial stratification systems. Effectively communicating these lessons to policy-makers and practitioners should be a key element in efforts to support the development of young people from immigrant families.\n\nAbout the speaker: Andrew J. Fuligni\, Ph.D.\, is Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at UCLA. He is also the Director of the Adolescent Development Lab at UCLA. Fuligni earned his B.S. from Cornell University and his Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on the interaction between sociocultural experiences and biobehavioral development among adolescents from diverse ethnic\, immigrant\, and economic backgrounds\, with a current focus on youth’s prosocial behavior\, contributions to their social worlds\, and sleep. As the Co-Director of the UCLA Center for the Developing Adolescent\, Dr. Fuligni works to translate and disseminate the science of adolescence to policymakers and practitioners to support efforts that promote the healthy development of diverse youth.\n\nThe winners of the Department of Psychology Diversity Awards will be announced following Dr. Fuligni's presentation.

Reid and Polly Anderson Professor of Manufacturing Celebration DESCRIPTION:Join us for the ceremony and celebration for Steven J. Skerlos being named the J. Reid and Polly Anderson Professor of Manufacturing. Steven J. Skerlos is the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Skerlos pioneered the application of supercritical CO2 coolants for machining\, boosting production rates in manufacturing while cutting energy\, costs\, hazardous chemicals and waste.  His entrepreneurial ventures\, including three U-M spinouts\, underscore his commitment to moving research to practice. With his professorship and being the faculty director at the Center for Socially Engaged Engineering & Design\, he prepares future engineers to integrate sustainability and entrepreneurship into advanced technology.This event will feature remarks on Skerlos' career from colleagues and peers\, as well as a talk by Skerlos on \"Transforming Waste into Scalable Manufacturing Solutions.\"Transforming Waste into Scalable Manufacturing SolutionsAbstract:Manufacturing waste—spent chemistries\, harmful emissions\, and organic residues—is typically managed as an unavoidable cost. This talk reframes these streams as design inputs for high-performance manufacturing\, guided by socially engaged engineering and systems-level design.\nI describe research that began with membrane-based formulation and recycling of metalworking fluids\, then evolved through factory-floor collaboration into the discovery of a supercritical CO₂ machining process that reduces cost\, eliminates worker hazards\, and improves manufacturing performance. In real-world production\, the approach has achieved material removal rates up to five times faster than previously possible\, with threefold improvement in tool life\, and substantial reductions in environmental impact: approximately 70 percent lower global warming potential and 90 percent less water consumption. The approach has been adopted in factories across more than a dozen countries\, recognized with the EPA Green Chemistry Award and Solar Impulse Efficient Solution certification\, and continues to inform a growing body of academic research.\nParallel work on microbial systems in industrial and municipal contexts has led to the development of novel detection methods and the application of recirculating dynamic membranes to convert food waste and sewage sludge into renewable natural gas and fuels. Across these projects\, a consistent translation framework has emerged: engage end users early\, optimize for the metrics industry values\, and develop fundamental sociotechnical understanding alongside manufacturable hardware to shorten the path from laboratory to implementation.\nThis lecture marks my acceptance of the J. Reid and Polly Anderson Professorship\, with gratitude to those who have held it before me and deep appreciation for the collaborators and students whose contributions made this work possible.

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 2014\, using macro photography to explore his backyard garden\, he unknowingly began walking a naturalist’s path and documenting native pollinators and invertebrates. His large format prints of local invertebrates are currently on exhibit outside of the Belle Isle Nature Center\, with other works on exhibit inside the Center. With them\, he seeks to inspire viewers to take a closer look at the tiny world around us.\n\n \n\nArtist Statement\n\nTo me\, the little things matter.\n\nThrough my work as a photographer\, I share the unseen and overlooked world of nature that surrounds us. My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment. Ultimately\, I seek to capture the unique beauty of creatures not usually perceived as beautiful and aim to create images that evoke emotion and curiosity. In so doing I strive to raise awareness of the importance of these creatures in our world and dispel any fears the viewer may have.\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josephferraro/\n\nWeb: https://www.joseph-ferraro.com UID:141375-21888727@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141375 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Free,garden,matthaei,matthaei botanical gardens,Sustainability,Visual Arts LOCATION:Matthaei Botanical Gardens CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250829T121632 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251112T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251112T112000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combining Complements: Theory and Evidence from Cancer Treatment Innovation DESCRIPTION:Innovations often combine several components to achieve outcomes greater than the “sum of the parts.” We argue that such combination innovations can introduce an understudied inefficiency—a positive market expansion externality that benefits the owners of the components. We demonstrate the importance of this externality in the market for pharmaceutical cancer treatments\, where drug combination therapies have proven highly effective. Using data on clinical trial investments\, we document several facts consistent with inefficiently low private innovation: firms are less likely than publicly funded researchers to trial combinations\, firms are less likely to trial combinations including other firms’ drugs than those including their own drugs\, and firms often wait to trial combinations including other firms’ drugs until those drugs experience generic entry. Using microdata on drug prices and utilization\, we quantify the externalities that arise from new combinations and find that the market expansion externality often dominates the standard negative business stealing externality\, suggesting too little innovation in combination therapies. As a result\, firms may have incentives to free ride off others’ innovation\, which we analyze with a dynamic structural model of innovation decisions. We use the model to design cost-effective policies that advance combination innovation. Redirecting publicly funded innovation toward combinations with high predicted market expansion or consumer surplus spillovers minimizes crowd out of private investments\, increasing the rate of combination innovation and total welfare while remaining budget neutral.

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.

However\, over the last five years\, the crucial role of in-medium effects has come into sharp focus. A new theoretical framework in the language of condensed matter physics has emerged for understanding the relationship between the properties of detector systems and their sensitivity to DM interactions. I will report on three recent advances that leverage this formalism to substantially broaden the design considerations for the next generation of experiments\, and even extract new constraints from existing data. First\, for DM–electron interactions\, large new datasets generated by the materials science community have enabled the first data-driven search for optimal detector materials\, which promises to significantly enhance the sensitivity of near-future experiments. Second\, just as detectors designed to detect nuclear scattering have been used to study electronic scattering\, I will explain how in-medium effects make the reverse possible as well\, allowing us to set new limits on DM–nucleon scattering using the low-threshold detectors designed to detect electronic scattering. Third\, with the advent of low-threshold detectors sensitive to energy deposits as low as 50 meV\, we have finally entered the regime where the interaction rate can be significantly enhanced due to the geometry of the detector system. These three considerations promise to substantially accelerate the search for light DM in both mass and cross section over the coming years.

People moved away from the gender they were assigned at birth in different ways and for many reasons. Eunuchs\, boy actresses\, and clergy left behind normative gender roles defined by family and procreation. Anatomical males who presented as women sometimes took a conventionally female occupation such as midwife\, faith healer\, or even medium to a fox spirit — yet\, suspected of sexual predation\, they risked death for the crime of “masquerading in women’s attire\,” even when they had lived peacefully in their communities for years. Sommer scrutinizes the ways authorities and literati understood gender-nonconforming people\, contrasting official ideology with popular mentalities. An unprecedented account of China’s transgender histories\, this book sheds new light on law\, religion\, medicine\, literature\, and culture.\n \n Matthew H. Sommer (BA Swarthmore\, MA U. of Washington\, PHD UCLA) is the Bowman Family Professor of History at Stanford University. A social and legal historian of Qing dynasty China (1644-1912)\, his research uses original legal case records from local and central archives to explore gender\, sexuality\, and family. He is the author of Sex\, Law\, And Society in Late Imperial China (Stanford 2000) and Polyandry and Wife-Selling in Qing Dynasty China (California 2015)\, which was the inaugural winner of the American Society for Legal History’s Peter Gonville Stein Book Award. His latest book\, The Fox Spirit\, the Stone Maiden\, and Other Transgender Histories from Late Imperial China (Columbia 2024) won the Boswell Prize from the LGBTQ+ History Association. Future plans include a fourth book\, “Male Same-Sex Relations and Masculinity in Qing China\,” and a fifth\, “Criminal Procedure in Eighteenth-Century China.” UID:140455-21887171@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140455 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asian Languages And Cultures,China,Chinese Studies,Gender,gender studies LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 10th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251112T094900 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251112T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251112T130000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematics Undergraduate Seminar DESCRIPTION:Typically\, Brownian Motion is constructed from the set of continuous functions from [0\, \infty) into \mathbb{R}.

Yet real-world datasets often encode historical bias\, and models trained on them can reproduce or amplify inequities. Pre-processing via fair synthetic data is a promising: if we can generate data that mitigates bias at the source while preserving signal\, downstream models can be both fair and useful. This talk introduces FDA (Fair synthetic data via Data Augmentation)\, a statistically principled framework that makes the fairness–faithfulness trade-off explicit and controllable. FDA jointly models a fair submodel and a faithful submodel\, coupled by a single parameter $\alpha \in [0\,1]$ that quantifies the fraction of bias removed. We prove clear operating points: $\alpha=0$ yields maximal fairness (with larger deviation from the original distribution)\, $\alpha=1$ recovers the original data in probability (hence in distribution)\, and intermediate $\alpha$ values guarantee calibrated compromises with interpretable bounds. Practically\, FDA samples directly from simple predictive distributions\, avoiding heavy black-box training. We further provide theory connecting FDA’s $\alpha$ to fairness of downstream models. Together\, these results deliver a transparent\, efficient\, and deployable path to generating fair synthetic data without sacrificing essential statistical structure.\n\nDr. Bei Jiang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University of Alberta\, a Fellow of the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii)\, and a Canada CIFAR AI Chair.

Even with the Hubble Space Telescope\, discoveries of the most distant stellar explosions have been restricted to z~2\, with critical spectroscopy limited to z~1.5. With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)\, we have entered a new era of high-redshift SN discovery and understanding. JWST has significantly expanded our view of the transient universe\, including hundreds of SNe and dozens of rest-frame UV-IR spectra for SNe reaching z=5.13. The JWST SN sample with both imaging and spectroscopy now includes the most distant Type Ia SNe (used for cosmological measurements) yet discovered\, multiple strongly lensed SNe\, and a wide variety of core-collapse SN sub-types from a previously unexplored phase of the transient universe. I will summarize the range of discoveries made in the first few years of JWST observations\, the constraints gleaned from these exciting new objects\, and our ongoing efforts to build the first statistical samples of high-redshift SNe. Looking ahead\, these SNe give us a glimpse at what we can expect from the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope\, which will revolutionize the discovery of distant stellar explosions.

What happens when students generate the data and how do we as researchers facilitate that? How forward thinking can we be as researchers to facilitate freedom in learning and its resultant creativity in assessment?\n\nProject RISE is a transdisciplinary project for middle and high school students with an innovative curriculum integrating civics and engineering design thinking\, and a new software that supports students\, teachers\, and researcher in unique ways. This project investigates questions about problem identification and articulation\, brainstorming\, and online communities. Eradicate the Gate is a recently terminated NSF CAREER award whose goal is to reduce gatekeeping by empowering learners and reverse engineering assessment. This project distributes power by partnering with students as co-designers in ways that can teach educators and researchers.

Tropical Grassmannians are polyhedral fans and we introduce how to construct a polyhedral complex that captures their combinatorics. In the case k=2 (Grassmannian of lines)\, we establish an isomorphism between this polyhedral complex and the simplicial complex of phylogenetic trees. We also establish a one-to-one correspondence between the tropical Grassmannian and a subset of the Dressian given by tropical linear spaces of \"realizable\" valuated matroids.

Furthermore\, they completely classified 11 such representations of motivic weight ≤22. The proof is based on the explicit formula for the Jacquet–Piatetski-Shapiro–Shalika L-functions. Positivity results impose restrictions on the L-parameters of the archimedean components of such representations.

This paper studies whether and how increasing gender diversity at universities may lead to greater inclusion and recognition of research traditionally associated with women. Leveraging the transitions to coeducation of 88 all-male universities and novel text-based measures of research content\, we show that coeducation led to overall modest shifts toward female-associated research. This aggregate effect masks substantial heterogeneity across fields: in disciplines with higher early female representation\, we observe a pronounced increase in female-associated research driven by both existing faculty and new entrants. Male-dominated fields\, by contrast\, exhibit little change or even declines in female-associated research\, primarily due to changes in hiring practices. These findings highlight that while diversity can foster innovation\, its effects may only be concentrated in areas already receptive to the new perspectives.

I will present and discuss cosmological results from the measurement of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the three years of observations from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. These results\, when combined with other data\, have indicated a possible new anomaly in the behavior of dark energy\, which has caused both excitement and consternation in the field of cosmology.

But behind the scenes\, AI tools consume massive amounts of electricity. Training just one large AI model can use as much energy as thousands of U.S. homes do in a year. And as AI adoption grows\, so does its appetite for power.\n\nThis surge in energy demand drives up operational costs\, puts pressure on already-congested power infrastructure\, and makes it harder to bring AI to places without reliable electricity. These barriers are becoming major bottlenecks for deploying and scaling AI systems.\n\nThrough the ML Energy Initiative\, we’re working to address these challenges. We’ve built tools to measure energy use\, reduce waste\, and design AI systems that are more efficient—without sacrificing the accuracy of AI models. In this talk\, I’ll share how smarter energy use can make AI more affordable and accessible.\n\nMeet Mosharaf Chowdhury:\nMosharaf Chowdhury is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, where he leads the SymbioticLab. His research focuses on making AI/ML workloads more efficient\, with a particular emphasis on reducing their energy consumption through the ML Energy Initiative. Major open-source projects from his team include Infiniswap\, the first scalable memory disaggregation solution\; FedScale\, a planetary-scale AI/ML platform\; TPP\, a tiered memory manager integrated into the Linux kernel (v5.18+)\; and Zeus\, the first energy-optimal generative AI stack. Previously\, Mosharaf invented the concept of coflows and was one of the original creators of Apache Spark. He has received numerous individual honors\, including fellowships and paper awards from NSDI\, OSDI\, ATC\, and MICRO.

Free and open to the public.\n\nFor music educators\, a key aspiration is helping developing musicians stand on their own as learners. A key step in this process is teaching them how to practice\, enabling them to act as their own instructors. Although the goal is clear\, the path toward it can be complex. Grounded in research\, this session will draw on psychological theories to illuminate the factors that shape effective practice. Studies on practice\, motivation\, and learning will be explored to show how research helps explain musical skill development. Evidence-based strategies for fostering self-regulated practice will be introduced.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nPETER MIKSZA is Professor of Music Education and Chair of the Music Education Department at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. He co-directs the IU Music and Mind Lab and researches psychological and social dimensions of musical skill\, teacher preparation\, and music education policy. Widely published and active internationally\, he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses\, advises research projects\, and serves as Editor of the Journal of Research in Music Education. Miksza previously taught in New Jersey and at the University of Colorado.

Combining diverse styles\, Schneider's music spans genres\, blending elements of folk\, rock\, rap\, funk\, bluegrass\, reggae and country with the more traditional singer/songwriter aesthetic. In short\, FRUNK. Schneider draws inspiration from the '70s with a modern twist. His lyrics\, both playful and powerful\, tackle tough subjects about alienation\, addiction\, and lost romance.\n\nSchneider has won more than 59 Austin Music Awards including Best Album\, Best Songwriter\, Best Musician\, and Best Male Vocals making him the most decorated artist in Austin music history. He has released more than a dozen albums (with a new one on the way). He has also written over 1\,000 songs\, is a published author and an avid painter and collage artist. He does all this while playing over a hundred shows a year and he doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon.\n\nTexas native Rhett Miller is perhaps best known as the frontman of the Dallas-based alt-country band the Old 97's\, although he has also pursued a critically acclaimed solo career. Strictly speaking\, Miller launched his own career before the Old 97's were formed. He recorded his first solo album\, a series of acoustic folk songs entitled Mythologies\, in 1989. Future Old 97's bassist (and a solid songwriter in his own right) Murry Hammond produced the album\, and their partnership later blossomed into a full-fledged band. \n\nIn 2018 Miller released his seventh solo record\, The Messenger\, on ATO records.\n\nIn addition to his songwriting\, Miller has also written short stories\, essays\, and articles that have appeared in Rolling Stone\, Salon\, The Atlantic\, and McSweeney’s.

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.

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.

National data show that 18.4% of gay men and 22.2% of bisexual men aged 18 to 25 have experienced suicidal ideation\, compared to 6.7% of heterosexual men. Young BSMM often face limited supportive resources\, contributing to isolation and heightened risk. This study will employ dominance analysis to identify developmental assets most strongly associated with mental health outcomes. Variables with an R² contribution greater than 5% will be combined into an “asset mediator” to examine the pathway between discrimination and depression. By focusing on key protective assets such as family support\, positive identity\, and positive values\, this research will clarify their relative importance and mechanisms of influence\, offering insight into strategies that can mitigate suicidal behaviors in this vulnerable population.\n\nLearning Objective:\n\nEngage in Research-Informed Practice and Practice-Informed Research (Competency 4): Apply findings from dominance analysis to inform asset-based\, culturally responsive interventions that strengthen family support\, positive identity\, and positive values for BSMM youth.\nPresenter\nDr. Donte T. Boyd is an Associate Professor at The Ohio State University College of Social Work. He also serves as a Visiting Research Faculty member as part of the Research Education Institute for Diverse Scholars (REIDS) at Yale University School of Public Health through the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS (CIRA). Dr. Boyd’s research addresses how socio-contextual factors impact young Black MSM decision-making behaviors. He is particularly interested in examining how the role of the family (e.g.\, parent/sibling support\, communication\, and socialization) and other important persons in young Black MSM lives impact HIV prevention behavior (e.g.\, HIV testing\, PrEP Use) and other health and mental health outcomes. Donte’s research also focuses on the impact of school context among Black male adolescents in shaping their sexual health behaviors. Before joining the faculty\, Dr. Boyd received his Ph.D. from UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs. He also has worked extensively as a social worker in different capacities in AIDs Serving Organizations (ASOs). Dr. Boyd worked as Ryan White Case Manager working with HIV-positive individuals and as a Public Health Representative before deciding to further his educational pursuits.\n\nAs well\, Dr. Boyd is a Curtis Center Faculty Affiliate and co-leads the Health & Mental Health Interventions for Black Youth research initiative at the Curtis Center that supports efforts to amplify the voices of Black youth in the Midwest by exploring how mental health\, healing practices\, and community support influence suicide prevention and wellbeing.\n\nAgenda\n1:00 - 1:15pm | Speaker's Introduction & Context\n\n1:15 - 1:30pm | Dominance Analysis and Protective Assets\n\n1:30 - 1:45pm | Discrimination\, Depression\, and the Asset Mediator\n\n1:45 - 2:00pm | Future Directions & Conclusion\n\nCE Approval Statement\nThe University of Michigan School of Social Work\, provider #1212\, is approved to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program.

To be sustainable\, routes for converting carbon dioxide and light into organic compounds for use as both fuels and chemical building blocks must be identified\, understood\, and engineered. Advances in metabolic engineering\, synthetic biology\, and other bioengineering disciplines have expanded the scope of what can be produced in a living organism. As in other engineering disciplines\, synthetic biologists want to apply a general understanding of\nscience (e.g. microbiology\, biochemistry) to construct complex systems from well-characterized parts (e.g. DNA\, protein). Once novel synthetic biological systems (e.g. enzymes for biofuel synthesis) are constructed\, they must be engineered to function inside evolving cells without negatively impacting the host’s physiology.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe pathways for producing chemicals derived from fatty-acids and how my group and others have improved oleochemical production in microbes. The talk will describe the critical regulatory points in native fatty acid metabolism\, strategies for deregulating flux\, and alternatives that by-pass it altogether. I will highlight the use of heterologous plant enzymes to alter the chain length distribution of products from common long-chain molecules to higher-value medium-chain analogs. I will also highlight strategies that we have used to produce medium-chain\nfatty alcohols\, the highest value compounds in the class\, through engineering of thioesterase and thiolase driven pathways. I will conclude with commentary on the remaining barriers to commercializing these technologies and areas where further research investment could prove\nfruitful.

Essien\, MD\, MPH\, pharmacoequity is defined as “ensuring all individuals\, regardless of race and ethnicity\, socioeconomic status\, or availability of resources\, have access to the highest-quality medications required to manage their health needs.”. The goal of this talk is to explain the concept of pharmacoequity and how individuals can apply this knowledge to their practice and communities.\n\nSpeaker\nUtibe R. Essien\, MD\, MPH\nAssistant Professor of Medicine\, David Geffen School of Medicine\, University of California Los Angeles\; Associate Vice Chair\, Community Engagement and Inclusive Excellence\, Department of Medicine\n\nBiography\nUtibe R. Essien\, MD\, MPH\, FACP is a board-certified\, internal medicine physician\, an Assistant Professor of Medicine and health equity researcher at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. A proud New Yorker\, Dr. Essien received his MD from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx\, NY before training in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School. After residency he remained at MGH to complete a General Internal Medicine fellowship and receive an MPH degree from the Harvard School of Public Health.\n\nDr. Essien’s research focuses on disparities in the use of novel medications and technologies\, particularly in the management of cardiovascular diseases. In 2021\, he coined the term “pharmacoequity\,” providing a new framework to achieving equitable access to care. He is an emerging leader in the field\, as recognized by over 120 peer-reviewed publications and research grants from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the American Heart Association. His research has earned him numerous national awards including a 2023 Young Physician Scientist Award from the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI)\, the 2024 Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) Outstanding Junior Investigator of the Year Award\, and selection as an Emerging Leader in Health and Medicine by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM).\n\nMcKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series\n\nDisparities in health and healthcare have been are prevalent\, particularly in underserved or minority communities\, as a result of a variety of factors such as birthplace\, housing\, education\, race\, age\, sexual identity and other nonmedical factors. These factors are commonly referred to as the social determinants of health (SDOH). As a result of SDOH\, quality healthcare and treatment can be difficult to access for many who don’t fall into the dominant group and must confront barriers to receive treatment.\n\nExamples of barriers to adequate healthcare treatment include poverty\, lack of access to quality education or positive social activities\, and unhealthy environmental factors. These factors must be addressed in order to achieve positive health outcomes and equity in access to healthcare and treatment for all. To help illuminate and educate around issues involving social determinants of health\, the College of Pharmacy and the McKesson Foundation have teamed up to launch the McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series.\n\nFor the past two years the College of Pharmacy at the University of Michigan in partnership with the McKesson Foundation has hosted a speaker series based on the topic of health equity. The McKesson Foundation is dedicated to advancing health outcomes for all with the mission to removing barriers to quality healthcare across the country\, especially for vulnerable and underserved communities. The College of Pharmacy also has a longstanding history of fighting to address addressing disparities in healthcare and is a leader in the fight for equitable healthcare for all individuals. This alignment in values and mission of both organizations led to the provision awarding of a grant to resulted in the College of Pharmacy being awarded a grant in 2022 to launch what we now call the McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series\, with the goal of educating the UM community and inspiring those around us to find solutions that address inequities in healthcare and beyond.\n\nAbout our Funder\, the McKesson Foundation\nThe McKesson Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to improving health outcomes for vulnerable and underserved populations. It focuses on initiatives that address healthcare disparities\, promote patient-centered care\, and support cancer care and survivorship. Through grants\, partnerships\, and employee-driven giving programs\, the foundation aims to foster innovative solutions that enhance community health and well-being.

Hallmarks of this process include inflammation\, oxidative stress\, endothelial dysfunction\, and aortic stiffening\, all of which compromise the ability of large arteries to regulate blood flow and pressure\, increasing susceptibility to disease. Our research program seeks to uncover the molecular mechanisms that drive these functional shifts and to determine how environmental stressors accelerate vascular aging. In this seminar\, I will first highlight recent findings from our work mapping the trajectory of aortic aging in mice. Using single-cell transcriptomics and mechanical testing\, we identified immune cell accumulation\, extracellular matrix remodeling\, and altered Piezo-1 signaling as key processes that increase aortic stiffness with age. I will then discuss how chronic exposure to wildfire smoke\, an increasingly common environmental hazard\, can recapitulate age-associated vascular maladaptation. Through a mouse model scaled to the exposure of wildland firefighters\, we demonstrated that repeated inhalation of Douglas Fir smoke induces inflammation\, oxidative and nitrosative stress\, endothelial dysfunction\, and fibrotic remodeling of the aortic wall\, leading to vascular stiffening and elevated blood pressure. Collectively\, these studies frame vascular aging as a unifying lens through which to understand the cardiovascular consequences of environmental exposures and highlight pathways that may guide future prevention and intervention strategies.

However\, as power grids contain much proprietary data and increasingly become targets of cyberattacks\, releasing information from power systems now requires carefully balancing grid transparency\, data owner privacy\, and security objectives. The last two are often prioritized by conservative grid operators at the expense of the former. How can we systematically balance grid transparency with the privacy and cyber resilience of power systems?\n\nIn this talk\, I will provide algorithmic answers to this question that quantify and control information disclosures from power systems while ensuring that the source system and its actors are not exposed to cyber and privacy risks. They are based on the fusion of power grid engineering\, operations research\, differential privacy\, and diffusion models\, various combinations of which enable controllable data disclosures in various contexts. Our solutions aim to set new standards for trustworthy data sharing in the power systems industry\, enabling frequent and targeted data sharing\, creating new opportunities for third-party analytics\, and enabling public oversight of grid and market operations.\n\nBio: Vladimir Dvorkin is an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan.

The radii of these young planets are larger than older planets on similar orbital periods. The leading hypothesis is that these young planets have inflated atmospheres because they are still contracting. Inflated atmospheres are more susceptible to photoevaporation --- atmospheric removal driven by X-ray and ultraviolet (XUV) stellar irradiation. These effects are intensified in the earliest stages of planetary evolution\, when young stars are more active and produce extreme XUV radiation on a variety of timescales. Even though it is challenging to study exoplanets around active stars\, observational constraints of these targets provide crucial insights into our understanding of exoplanet formation and evolution. In this talk\, I will present several benchmark studies of young stars and their planets spanning from the ultraviolet to the infrared. I will present early results of atmospheric follow-up characterization of young short-period exoplanets from my JWST KRONOS program and an overview of our search for atmospheric escape. Finally\, I will highlight the role that stellar flares may play in shaping the evolution of these planets and future steps in understanding these challenging young systems.

Ecologists have been tasked with forecasting community and ecosystem responses to these multiple concurrent drivers. My research focuses on plant community responses to multiple global change drivers\, and whether these community shifts drive changes in ecosystem function. I will discuss the results of data synthesis efforts examining global patterns of plant community responses to altered resources and their consequences for primary productivity. The Community Responses to Resource Experiments (CoRRE) database includes 138 experiments from 70 locations globally and 2875 individual plant species with categorical and continuous traits. Through synthesis\, we demonstrate that grassland communities are dynamically changing in their taxonomic\, functional\, and phylogenetic diversity in response to a wide variety of global change drivers\, and that these changes have consequences for ecosystem function.

(Gus) Evrard and Linda Tesar\, Collegiate Professorship Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:This event will take place both in person and virtually.\n\nProfessor Miranda D. Brown\, the Yi-tsi Mei Feuerwerker Collegiate Professor of Chinese Studies\n\nLecture Title: A Moveable Feast: The Story of the Han-Manchu Banquet and the Forgotten History of Chop Suey\n\nLecture Abstract: Chop suey\, a vintage Chinese-American food\, has a dubious reputation. Some say it was invented from kitchen scraps in a California mining kitchen during the Gold Rush. Others claim it was an American invention—journalist Jennifer 8. Lee calls it \"the greatest hoax played by one culture on another.\"\n\nBut what if I told you that chop suey was once a popular banquet food in China—and that it was enjoyed not only by ruling elites\, but by the emperor himself? Far from being leftovers or cultural deception\, chop suey graced imperial tables and wealthy merchant feasts for centuries before crossing the Pacific.\n\nThis talk explores the gourmet Chinese roots of chop suey through old banquet menus and imperial records\, tracing its surprising journey from Qing dynasty haute cuisine to American convenience food. In recovering this forgotten history\, it offers a new view of how Chinese American cuisine actually emerged—and reveals how crucial the study of foreign languages is for telling the American story.\n\nProfessor August E. (Gus) Evrard\, the Arthur W. and Alice R. Burks Collegiate Professor of Physics\n\nLecture Title: A 20-Watt Thinking Machine with Legs Ponders Truth \n\nLecture Abstract: Some truths are universal\, but not all. In this quick talk\, I'll visit past experiences with truth on the sky and truth on campus before turning to a question for the age of intelligence: how will our AI-infused world handle the truth? \n\nProfessor Linda Tesar\, the Alan V. Deardorff Collegiate Professor of Economics\n\nLecture Title: Deglobalization: What’s at Stake?\n\nLecture Abstract: Globalization helped fuel rapid economic growth and raised incomes in many of the world’s poorest countries. At the same time\, widening income inequality within countries\, increased financial market volatility and the decline of manufacturing in the wealthiest of countries has produced a backlash to globalization. What will be the consequences if the world economy becomes less integrated?\n\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, please click the link below to join the webinar.\n\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/93973802185\n\nPhone one-tap:\n+16469313860\,\,93973802185# US\n+13017158592\,\,93973802185# US (Washington DC)\n\nJoin via audio:\n+1 646 931 3860 US\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+1 253 215 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+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\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\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\nWebinar ID: 939 7380 2185\nInternational numbers available: https://umich.zoom.us/u/ayXtq0qRB UID:137130-21879787@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137130 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Anthropology,Chinese Studies,Economics LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 10th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251014T154237 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251113T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251113T171500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Rational Design of High-Performance Electrocatalysts for Future Energy and Material Applications DESCRIPTION:Electrocatalysis is poised to play a pivotal role in future energy material and chemical manufacturing. The rational design of next-generation electrocatalysts - guided by sound scientific hypothesis - is essential for advancing practical technologies. In recent years\, my team at Argonne has actively explored high-performance electrocatalysts using innovative design and synthesis strategies. In this presentation\, I will first discuss our recent advances in utilizing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as tunable precursors for oxygen redox electrocatalysis. This includes the development of platinum-group-metal-free (PGM-free) and ultralow-platinum catalysts for proton exchange membrane fuel cells [1]\, as well as PGM-free catalysts as viable replacements for iridium for water electrolysis [2]. I will then introduce our recent studies on the selective electrochemical reduction of CO₂ to multi-carbon (C₂⁺) products\, where the reaction pathways and product distributions are profoundly modulated by active-site geometry\, atomic coordination\, and nanoconfinement effects [3–5].\nThe presentation outlines our integrated approach that combines advanced structural and spectroscopic characterization\, computational modeling\, and machine-learning-guided discovery to uncover catalytic mechanisms and guide materials optimization. Finally\, I will discuss the implications of these findings for the scalable design of next-generation electrocatalysts in future energy conversion and storage applications.\n[1] “Ultralow-loading platinum-cobalt fuel cell catalysts derived from imidazolate frameworks” L.

Documenting the site’s evolution through a system of “levels\,” the excavators left behind a dense archival record of photographs\, tables\, notes\, drawings\, plans\, artifact inventories\, and survey results. Housed at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, this documentation has been consulted for a century but never systematically analyzed or disseminated. The most authoritative source remains an unfinished manuscript by Enoch Peterson (a professor at Michigan from 1924 to 1962)\, never published or made publicly available.\n\nToday\, a revival of interest in Karanis has created a demand for better curation and accessibility of these records. In response\, researchers at the Kelsey Museum are leading a digital initiative with two objectives. First\, drawing upon legacy survey data and new radiocarbon results\, we are using the game engine Unity to reconstruct and reinterpret the site’s chronological evolution in three dimensions. Second\, we are transforming Peterson’s manuscript and related materials into an interactive\, open-access resource. These collaborative efforts between Kelsey researchers\, staff\, graduate\, and undergraduate students go beyond digitization\, requiring the restructuring and reassessment of excavation data within an updated framework. \n\nAs we integrate new insights and methodologies\, our work sometimes calls the Michigan excavators’ original interpretations into question. This raises the need to balance faithful preservation of archival materials with that of reassessing the excavation results through contemporary archaeological lenses. This lecture explores the challenges and possibilities of conducting “archive archaeology” at Karanis\, creating new tools for exploring\, cross-referencing\, and reinterpreting this essential legacy dataset.\n\nTyler Johnson is a postdoctoral fellow with the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. He completed his PhD at the University of Michigan in 2023\, focusing on the transformation of domestic buildings during Late Antiquity in the region around Rome. He has conducted fieldwork at Gabii\, Italy\, since 2013\, where he now serves as director of topography and digital data. Tyler has also participated in a range of excavations and digital humanities projects in Italy\, Albania\, and the United States. His specializations include 3D modeling\, database curation\, and the use of game engines and graphical interfaces in archaeological and cultural heritage research. At the Kelsey\, Tyler is a member of the AGROS project\, an international collaboration investigating ancient diet through the analysis of organic materials from Karanis\, Egypt\, where the University of Michigan carried out excavations in the 1920s and 1930s. His work focuses on the archaeological contextualization of organic samples selected for chemical analysis\, integrating the complex records of this legacy dataset with new methods in 3D modeling and data visualization.\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) Lectures are free and open to the public. This event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall. Light refreshments and food will be provided at 5:30 PM\, with the lecture starting at 6:00 PM.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.

Martinez worked in the agricultural fields of Washington state—a formative experience that would later shape the core of his artistic practice. After completing his education in Los Angeles\, culminating in an MFA in Drawing and Painting from California State University Long Beach\, Martinez developed a body of work that reflects the dignity\, hardship\, and invisibility of the workers who harvest America’s food.\nMartinez is best known for his powerful portraits rendered on discarded produce boxes collected from grocery stores\, which he transforms into evocative\, layered compositions. His work draws from the visual language of 1930s Social Realism\, updated through a contemporary lens and materials that speak to both economic precarity and cultural resilience. By incorporating found objects and working at the intersection of figuration\, installation\, and sculpture\, Martinez calls attention to the dissonance between agricultural abundance and the exploitation of those who make it possible. His art challenges viewers to consider the systems behind the food they consume\, and the people whose labor sustains them—many of whom remain undocumented and unprotected.\nIn this talk\, Martinez will share the personal history that informs his practice\, from his journey as a farmworker to his development as an artist. He will discuss the evolution of his use of unconventional materials\, the political and emotional layers embedded in his subject matter\, and the importance of bearing witness through art. Whether painting directly onto cardboard or building immersive installations\, Martinez’s work offers a poignant meditation on labor\, identity\, and the complicated narratives embedded in the American agricultural landscape.\nPresented in partnership with the Institute for the Humanities.\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books.

The sprawling factory complex’s formidable Chinese director Motto now needs every bit of mettle and charm she can muster to push through a high-stakes expansion that promises 30\,000 new jobs. Ethiopian farmer Workinesh and factory worker Beti have staked their futures on the prosperity the park promises. But as initial hope meets painful realities\, they find themselves\, like their country\, at a pivotal crossroads.\n \n Filmed over four years with singular access\, Made in Ethiopia lifts the curtain on China’s historic but misunderstood impact on Africa\, and explores contemporary Ethiopia at a moment of profound crisis. The film throws audiences into two colliding worlds: an industrial juggernaut fueled by profit and progress\, and a vanishing countryside where life is still measured by the cycle of the seasons. Its nuance\, complexity and multi-perspective approach go beyond black-and-white narratives of victims and villains. As the three women’s stories unfold\, Made in Ethiopia challenges us to rethink the relationship between tradition and modernity\, growth and welfare\, the development of a country and the well being of its people.\n\nLight refreshments will be provided.

Krenz\, and Melanie S. Tanielian join contributor Ellen Schrecker in a conversation about the new book \"In the Spirit of H. Chandler Davis: Activism and the Struggle for Academic Freedom.\"\n\nThe essays collected in this book honor H. Chandler Davis (1926-2022)\, a University of Michigan faculty member who became a symbol of principled dissent when suspended and fired in 1954 for refusing to testify about his political affiliations to the House Un-American Activities Committee. Invoking academic freedom and First Amendment protection\, Davis was convicted of contempt of Congress. He served six months in prison before moving to Canada\, where he established himself as a brilliant mathematician\, prolific writer\, and ardent and much beloved advocate for justice.\n\nAt a time when a new McCarthyism has come roaring back to threaten free inquiry everywhere\, the 12 contributors to this book argue against censorship\, the suppression of protest\, the policed and surveilled campus\, the self-silencing of “institutional neutrality\,” and other enemies of academic freedom. Also included in this volume is posthumously published work by Davis and by his late wife\, the historian Natalie Zemon Davis\, which reflects on the importance of facing\, and not accepting\, authoritarian threats.\n\nInspired by Chandler Davis’ courage\, integrity\, and devotion to the struggle against oppression\, injustice\, and the persecution of speech\, these essays offer crucial insights into the importance of defending intellectual independence\, institutional autonomy\, and the right to free expression.

Tickets are free\, available at the door starting at 6:30 pm.\n \n*The Weight of Absence*\, a group work by Megan Piagentini\, progresses through two distinct phases. The first situates viewers in a dystopian landscape where faceless\, grieving bodies loop through numbing routines\, grasping for connection that leaves them unsatisfied. The second part shifts to a more elemental\, raw portrayal of humanity. The choreography allows for genuine connections and emotional vulnerability through love\, grief\, and anger. At its core\, the piece is a reminder of shared anatomy and mutual longing to love and be loved.\n\n*when the snow melts*\, a group work by Alyssa Hernandez in collaboration with dancers\, explores themes of human nature\, survival\, and vulnerability. Inspired by time in Vancouver\, BC\, Hernandez reflects on the periodic wildfires throughout the Canadian Rockies\, where wildflowers bloom amid devastation. The resilience in nature becomes a metaphor for human behavior\, relationships\, and the consequences of our actions\, forming a thought-provoking exploration for dancers and audiences alike.\n\n*Superposition*\, a group dance by Audrey DeGuia\, explores the intersection of science and spirituality through time\, space\, and the universe. Inspired by quantum theory and Carl Sagan’s idea that “We are the universe experiencing itself\,” the choreography reflects on infinite possibility and interconnectedness. Through stylized movement and interpersonal partner work\, the dancers embody the idea that the body is not just moving through space\, but is space itself- unfolding and transforming as the dancers move.\n\n*GREEN HOUSE*\, a group work created by Kaitlyn Wilson (in collaboration with dancers)\, highlights the degradation of human relationship to the environment\, leading to the environmental catastrophe we live in today. Interaction between bodies\, as well as to the space\, investigates how our relationship to nature can be restored to ensure a sustainable and connected future. The performance experience\, set to sound design by Luka Pierson\, highlights the need to rebuild not only connections to the natural environment but also rebuild community.\n\n*After Midnight*\, a contemporary group dance by Alexandra Baron\, delves into the imaginative space that emerges in the stillness of night\, where the curiosity of memory\, the awakening of imagination\, and reality collide. Drawing inspiration from the quiet creativity of late hours\, the work weaves together surreal imagery\, fluid movement\, and striking ensemble dynamics. Baron’s choreography explores remembered moments that resurface within the shadows\, blurring lines between reality and reflection.\n\n*Reflection Reclaimed*\, a group work by Olivia Weber\, explores the complex relationship dancers have with body image\, shaped by years of consistently training in front of the mirror - a tool meant for refinement\, but often used for negative self-judgement. The choreography traces the emotional journey from comparison\, insecurity\, and self-worth to acceptance and empowerment. This dance communicates and reflects on the silent battle dancers face to meet unrealistic standards both inside the dance world and in society.

They live it. And they make you feel like you’re part of it too.” — No Depression\n\nSam Grisman is a bass player\, music appreciator\, and bandleader who grew up in Mill Valley\, California in a home where some of the great acoustic music of our time was being recorded on a regular basis. His father\, legendary mandolinist\, composer\, and producer\, David Grisman\, was constantly having friends come over to his home studio for recording sessions and rehearsals. These friends\, such as Doc Watson\, Jerry Garcia\, John Hartford\, Mike Seeger\, and Tony Rice all left an impression on the younger Grisman and inspired him to pursue a life making music with his many talented friends.\n\nSam Grisman Project was created to shed light on the music that Sam grew up around\, and highlight that music’s influence on the members of the collective and in the greater music community. The friends who make up Sam Grisman Project are a rotating cadre of acousticians who are some of the brightest individual voices on their respective instruments.

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.

DESCRIPTION:We analyze steering/self-preferencing by a retail platform\, using both economic theory and simulations of AI algorithms. When the platform does not sell advertising slots to merchants (which guarantee the merchant will be displayed to consumers)\, the platform has incentives to exclude merchants when its commission rate is in a lower range\, but not when its commission rate is higher. Facing the threat of not being displayed\, the merchant's optimal response is to raise its price on the platform\, so as to reduce the substitution threat it poses to the platform's own product. Thus\, even when the equilibrium outcome is for the merchant to be displayed\, the self-preferencing possibility raises overall prices and harms competition. We then introduce an advertising option\, and show that this can lead to lower prices while still ensuring the merchant is displayed to consumers. However\, the merchant need not gain from the introduction of advertising. Various extensions are considered.

RSVP is not required.\n\nThe conference program is below:\n\n10:00 – 11:00 AM Federico Huneeus (Duke) \"Production Network Formation\, Trade\, and Welfare\"\nAbstract: We study the aggregate implications of production network formation in a quantitative multi-location general equilibrium trade model. Firms search for suppliers and buyers across locations subject to matching frictions\, generating a gravity structure of production networks. We develop sufficient statistics for global and regional welfare and characterize the deviations from the fixed network environment\, including the role of inefficiency and amplification effects of search and matching. We calibrate our multi-sector model to Chilean domestic and international firm-to-firm trade data and show that our model can rationalize the observed increase in domestic supplier linkages after Chile’s recent trade agreements. Abstracting from endogenous networks reduces Chile’s aggregate welfare losses by 20 percent when import costs are raised to their pre-agreement levels\, consistent with inefficiently low equilibrium levels of search. Fixing the trade elasticity\, the welfare gains from trade relative to municipality autarky drop by 40 percent due to amplification effects of search.\n\n11:00 – 11:30 AM Coffee Break \n\n11:30 – 12:30 PM Enghin Atalay (Philadelphia Fed) \"Micro- and Macroeconomic Impacts of a Place-Based Industrial Policy\"\nAbstract: We evaluate a set of place-based subsidies introduced in Turkey in 2012. Using firmlevel balance-sheet data along with data on the domestic production network\, we first assess the policy’s direct and indirect impacts. We identify increased economic activity in industry-province pairs targeted by the subsidies\, with positive spillovers to firms’ customers and suppliers. Using a dynamic multi-region multi-industry general equilibrium model\, we assess the program’s aggregate impacts. According to the calibrated model\, the subsidy program reduces inequality between the relatively underdeveloped and more prosperous portions of the country. However\, trade\, migration\, and investment spillovers blunt the policy’s impact on regional inequality.\n\n1:30 – 2:30 PM Xiang Ding (Georgetown) \"The Costs of Market Disintegration: Evidence from the India-Pakistan Border\"\nAbstract: This paper constructs the first global dataset on inter-sectoral capital service flows. I use this data to disaggregate capital services and intermediate inputs in a dynamic multi-sector model of global production. Steady state allocations and responses to shocks are determined by a capital-augmented global input-output matrix. Two properties of the capital services network deliver larger long-run consumption impacts of globalization than existing estimates\, and larger impacts in more capital-intensive countries. First\, more consumption-influential producers use capital from more trade-exposed suppliers. Second\, heterogeneity in the network reallocates sectoral expenditures towards producers with the largest respective declines in capital service costs. These reallocations raise capital incomes for producers and lower price indices for consumers.

Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering\, Georgia Institute of Technology DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Generative models such as normalizing flows and diffusion processes have transformed how we represent complex\, high-dimensional data\, yet their statistical and mathematical foundations remain less understood. In this talk\, I will present a unified framework that views generative modeling as flows in probability space\, continuous transformations between distributions that reveal the geometric structure underlying learning and inference. I will begin with the JKO-flow generative model\, inspired by the Jordan–Kinderlehrer–Otto (JKO) scheme for Wasserstein gradient flows\, which interprets density learning as proximal gradient descent in the space of probability measures. This perspective offers provable convergence guarantees and connects generative modeling with classical principles of statistical inference. Building on this foundation\, I will discuss recent extensions using guided flow generative models that incorporate data- or risk-driven guidance fields to achieve robustness\, domain adaptation\, and inference under uncertainty. Together\, these results form a framework that bridges statistics\, optimization\, and machine learning\, bringing classical inferential ideas toward a principled foundation for trustworthy generative AI.

Microtubule dynamics and network remodeling are precisely regulated through combinatorial effects of myriad microtubule-associated proteins. Our research integrates biochemical in vitro reconstitution\, single molecule light microscopy\, quantitative image analysis\, and computational modeling to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying microtubule regulation. Because microtubules are a common target for chemotherapeutic agents and many of their regulatory proteins are implicated in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases\, our mechanistic models provide not only fundamental biological insight but also bear critical medical relevance.

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.

These findings provided a unique window into ritual practices\, identity construction\, and cultural networks of the Iron Age steppe. My doctoral project examines body modification among steppe nomads from an interdisciplinary perspective\, combining archaeology\, anthropology\, and iconographic studies. Through an operational chain analysis of tattooing and comparison with tattoo traditions in North America\, this research seeks to understand the technical and symbolic processes that gave meaning to these bodily marks. This work offers a renewed synthesis of the role of tattooing in the past\, exploring its value as a social\, ritual\, and cosmological marker within the broader framework of Eurasian protohistory.

Positioned as a model that will transform healthcare delivery\, the Learning Health System has been steadily adopted since 2007 as a method for aligning interest-holders\, integrating data from clinical research and the electronic health record\, and organizing healthcare improvement work. As the Learning Health System nears 20 years of implementation\, the field is moving from initial demonstrations of feasibility to a concerted focus on conceptual foundations\, including social science approaches to culture\, equity\, and policy. This presentation will provide a brief history of the Learning Health System and a critical consideration of the model’s potential for healthcare systems transformation. Working in the traditions of problem-solving sociology and the real utopias project\, I will draw from ethnographic research and practice-based work to extend the conceptual foundations of the Learning Health System model and discuss how these new foundations can facilitate transformative change.

Many ribbons in nature\, from seed pods to molecular assemblies\, have non-trivial internal geometry\, making them incompatible with Euclidean space. In many cases\, this results in shape transitions between narrow and wide ribbons with the same internal geometry. In this talk\, I will show how to model these bodies mathematically\, discuss the various phenomena they exhibit (and how they are related to the Gauss–Codazzi equations from surface theory)\, and present some recent rigorous results via Gamma convergence (+ open questions). There will be pictures\, there will be theorems\, and hopefully a live experiment. Based on joint work with Sharon\, Siéfert and Levin (modelling and experiments) and Mora (mathematics).\n\nContact: Ian Tobasco UID:135815-21877298@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/135815 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251114T142041 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251114T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251114T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Autotheory Lab\, meeting #3 DESCRIPTION: UID:141464-21888871@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141464 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Angell 3241 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250828T123027 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251114T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251114T163000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bananapocalypse: Un/Making Plantation Capitalism DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Department of Anthropology presents its fall 2025 Roy A. Rappaport Lecture Series\, “Bananapocalypse: Un/Making Plantation Capitalism\,” with Assistant Professor Alyssa Paredes:\n\n“Existential crises hang over the producers of the world’s food. Many of these challenges are self-inflicted. In the banana-growing regions of the Southern Philippines\, which produce fruit for export to Japanese markets\, plantations unleash pesticide drift\, food waste\, water effluent\, and fungal pathogens into the surroundings. The plantocratic elite systematically shirks responsibility for these excesses\, using legal contracts\, scientific conventions\, and standards of trade to frame them as “external” to their supply chains. However\, plantation management is regularly proven wrong in its assumption that the things they try to push downstream will not double back to haunt them. Everyday actors on the plantations’ peripheries transform the devices designed to work against them into openings for intervention. Their efforts implore critical scholars of the environment and of global economies to take seriously the possibility that Big Ag’s increasingly frequent failures to reproduce itself are more than just minor inconveniences to business-as-usual. In this series of lectures\, I trace the afterlives of the externalities that commodity production obscures\, disguises\, or otherwise erases from its ambit of accountability. In so doing\, I offer an ethnographic model for turning the commodity studies model\, inherited from generations of anthropologists\, inside-out.”\n\nRappaport lectures will take place on the following fall Fridays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in 411 West Hall. They are free and open to the public. \n\nFriday\, Sept. 12\nElses and Externalities: The Un/Making of Plantation Capitalism \n\nFriday\, Oct. 10\nRejects: Food Cosmetic Standards and the Geopolitics of Waste\n\nFriday\, Nov. 14\nEffluent: Living Downstream of Yourself on the Mindanao River\n\nFriday\, Dec. 5\nForce Majeure: The See-Through Plantation\n\nVIRTUAL PARTICIPATION LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91475190155\n\nIf you need accommodations in order to attend\, please email anthro.exec.secretary@umich.edu.\n\nABOUT ASSISTANT PROFESSOR ALYSSA PAREDES\nAlyssa Paredes is an environmental and economic anthropologist with research interests at the intersection of industrial agriculture\, transnational supply chains\, and social mobilization between the Southern Philippines and Japan. Her book manuscript\, tentatively titled “Bananapocalypse: An Ethnography of the Commodity for the 21st Century\,” is under contract with the University of California Press. Additionally\, her work appears in journals in anthropology\, history\, geography\, food studies\, and Asian studies. She is also co-editor of “Halo-Halo Ecologies: The Emergent Environments Behind Filipino Food” (University of Hawaii Press 2025). She holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Yale University.

Based on my forthcoming book\, it explores policies that targeted Muslim clothing\, religious practices\, and identities\, revealing how Muslim populations resisted\, complied\, and adapted to authoritarian ideas of modernity.\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. Distinguished scholars will present on these cultures’ histories\, languages\, and artistic contributions.\n\nThis is a hybrid event\, please register here: https://myumi.ch/rAxPn UID:141313-21888572@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141313 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Crees,Discussion,Eastern Europe,Slavic,Talk LOCATION:Modern Languages Building - 3308 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251031T111959 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251114T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251114T170000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Department Colloquium: Verónica Gómez Sánchez (UC Berkeley) DESCRIPTION:Title: Rational Introjection \n\nAbstract: Michael Strevens coined the term ‘introjection’ for the kind of psychological process that\, in humans\, is normally responsible for the acquisition of new conceptual mental representations. This talk will work toward a theory of the (epistemic) rationality constraints that govern introjection. I will first argue that the discredited ‘definitional’ theory of introjection is a better rational theory of introjection than is usually supposed\, and that it is not superseded by recent Quinean approaches (e.g.\, Carey\, Margolis\, Strevens). I will then propose a variant of the definitional theory\, the ‘referential theory’\, that avoids the main problem for the definitional approach. I end by considering why referential introjection may be a more successful cognitive strategy than non-referential definitional introjection. \n\nAbout Professor Gómez Sánchez:\nVerónica Gómez Sánchez is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at UC Berkeley. Her main research interests are in the metaphysics of science and philosophy of cognitive science. The overarching goal of her current research is to understand how the properties and laws of the special sciences (especially cognitive science) fit into the physical world. She has a special interest in the nature of mental representation and its role in scientific explanation. Verónica got her PhD in Philosophy from Rutgers University and my BA from Universidad de los Andes. Before coming to Berkeley\, she was a Bersoff Faculty Fellow at NYU.

In this talk\, I will discuss how these fluctuations can be revealed through scattering waves off the black hole. In particular\, we find that extremely cold black holes become transparent to low-frequency light or gravitational radiation. These effects provide concrete signatures of quantum gravity at play in near-extremal regimes.

As a consequence of this relation\, certain monomials are equal\, such as DUUD and UDDU. We characterize all such equalities over a field of characteristic 0\, describing them in several ways\, including operationally (by a combinatorial equivalence relation generated by certain moves) and computationally (through lattice path invariants). We also enumerate the equivalence classes and several variants thereof and discuss possible extensions to other algebras.

They provide diverse and complex aquatic ecosystems\, unique aesthetic appeal\, and readily accessible freshwater sources to societal use. Although considered “lentic” (hydrologically stationary)\, lakes are often highly dynamic and are an integrated component of the global drainage system. They interact with river discharge\, groundwater fluxes\, and glacial mass balances\, and function as both “sentinels” and “regulators” of climatic and environmental changes. A substantial proportion of the global lakes are also manmade reservoirs\, which regulate natural streamflow and affect downstream water supply and sediment regimes. Tracking the dynamics of lake water storage is fundamental to understanding the spatiotemporal disparity in global freshwater resources\, which is essential for addressing the increasing challenge in water security during the Anthropocene.\n\nThis seminar will provide a global perspective on the abundance and recent (decadal-scale) changes of lake water resources\, as well as their implications to catchment hydrology\, lacustrine management\, and broader societal impacts. The seminar will identify the latest advances in data infrastructure for global lake monitoring\, and will discuss the importance and challenges of data and method synergy from multi-mission Earth-observing satellites\, including the newly launched Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. The recent global lake dynamics will be attributed to primary driving mechanisms including anthropogenic climate change\, climate variability\, and direct human water consumption and managements. Hotspots such as arid hinterlands and High Mountain Asia will be highlighted to further illustrate the essential roles of lake water resources for regional water security and a holistic understanding of the global hydrological cycle under climate change.

The Armenian Woman\, Minoritarian Agency\, and the Making of Iranian Modernity\, 1860–1979 DESCRIPTION:With this book\, Houri Berberian and Talinn Grigor offer the first history of Armenian women in modern Iran. Foregrounding the work of Armenian women's organizations\, the authors trace minoritarian politics and the shifting relationships among doubly minoritized Armenian female subjects\, Iran's central nodes of power\, and the Irano-Armenian patriarchal institutions of church and political parties.\n \nEngaging broader considerations around modernization\, nationalism\, and feminism\, this book makes a conceptually rich contribution to how we think about the history of women and minoritized peoples. Berberian and Grigor read archival\, textual\, visual\, and oral history sources together and against one another to challenge conventional notions of \"the archive\" and transform silences and absences into audible and visual presences. Understanding minoritarian politics as formulated by women through their various forms of public and intellectual activisms\, this book provides a groundbreaking intervention in Iran's history of modernization\, Armenian diasporic history\, and Iranian and Armenian feminist historiography.\n \nAUTHOR BIOS\n \n Houri Berberian is Professor of History\, Meghrouni Family Presidential Chair in Armenian Studies\, and Director of the Center for Armenian Studies at the University of California\, Irvine. Her research focuses on late nineteenth/early twentieth-century Armenian history\, especially revolutionary movements and women and gender. Her books include *Armenians and the Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1905-1911: The Love for Freedom Has No Fatherland* (2001)\; and the multiple award-winning *Roving Revolutionaries: Armenians and the Connected Revolutions in the Russian\, Iranian\, and Ottoman Worlds* (2019)\; and *Reflections of Armenian Identity in History and Historiography* (2018)\, coedited with Touraj Daryaee. Her most recent book\, for which she has received grants from the Persian Heritage Foundation\, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation\, and the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research\, is *The Armenian Woman\, Minoritarian Agency\, and the Making of Iranian Modernity* (2025)\, coauthored with Talinn Grigor.\n \n Talinn Grigor is Professor of Art History in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of California\, Davis. Her research focuses on 18th- to 20th-century architectural and art histories through postcolonial\, race\, feminist\, and critical theories grounded in Iran\, Armeno-Iran\, Armenia\, and Parsi India. Her books include the winner of the Saidi-Sirjani Book Award\, *The Persian Revival* (2021)\, *Contemporary Iranian Art* (2014)\, *Building Iran* (2009)\, and *Persian Kingship and Architecture* (2015)\, coedited with Sussan Babaie. Grigor has received fellowships from the National Gallery of Art\, Getty Research Institute\, Cornell’s Humanities Center\, Princeton’s Persian Center\, MIT’s Aga Khan Program\, SSRC\, and Persian Heritage and Calouste Gulbenkian foundations. Her last book is coauthored with Houri Berberian\, *The Armenian Woman*\, *Minoritarian Agency*\, and the *Making of Iranian Modernity\, 1860–1979 *(2025). Her current book project\, *The Hyphenated Architect*\, examines the pivotal role of ethnically Armenian architects and artists in the proliferation of the Modern Movement in West Asia.\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

However\, in many supply chains in LMICs\, producers do not sell directly to the world market\; instead\, they sell through multiple layers of domestic intermediation. We study how these chains of intermediation affect incentives for quality production in the context of the Uganda coffee supply chain. We first map out the supply chain linking farm gate and export gate\, documenting that coffee changes hands\, on average\, two times before reaching export markets. Next\, leveraging high-frequency transaction-level data throughout the supply chain\, including prices and lab quality assessments\, we show that quality premium diminishes upstream. We build a model highlighting two key economic mechanisms that may drive these diminished quality premia upstream. First\, barriers to entry to high-quality intermediation enable greater buyer power in the high-quality segment\; resulting differential markdowns squeeze the quality premium upstream. Second\, both producers and intermediaries engage in quality investments\, with the degree of substitutability of these investments mediating the downstream’s demand for high quality from the upstream. Both mechanisms have distributional implications for farmer surplus\, but only the former dampens aggregate quality production. To separately quantify the two\, we conduct an experiment that offers randomized coffee production contracts to induce quality-specific demand shocks throughout the supply chain to identify the key cost parameters of our model. We use the estimated model to examine the efficiency implications and distributional consequences of market power and productive substitutability\, as well as how they interact to affect quality production and surplus distribution along the chain. Finally\, we apply the model to investigate policy counterfactuals.

In this talk\, I will discuss random quotients of certain classes of groups. Quotients of hyperbolic groups (groups that act geometrically on a hyperbolic space) and their generalizations have long been a powerful tool for proving strong algebraic results. I will focus on random quotients of acylindrical and hierarchically hyperbolic groups (HHGs)\, two generalizations of hyperbolic groups that include mapping class groups\, most CAT(0) cubical groups including right-angled Artin and Coxeter groups\, many 3–manifold groups\, and various combinations of such groups. In this context\, I will explain why a random quotient of an HHG that does not split as a direct product is again an HHG\, definitivelyshowing that the class of HHGs is quite broad. I will also describe how the result can also be applied to understand the geometry of random quotients of hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups. This is joint work with Dan Berlyne\, Giorgio Mangioni\, Thomas Ng\, and Alexander Rasmussen.

Tickets are free\, available at the door starting at 6:30 pm.\n \n*The Weight of Absence*\, a group work by Megan Piagentini\, progresses through two distinct phases. The first situates viewers in a dystopian landscape where faceless\, grieving bodies loop through numbing routines\, grasping for connection that leaves them unsatisfied. The second part shifts to a more elemental\, raw portrayal of humanity. The choreography allows for genuine connections and emotional vulnerability through love\, grief\, and anger. At its core\, the piece is a reminder of shared anatomy and mutual longing to love and be loved.\n\n*when the snow melts*\, a group work by Alyssa Hernandez in collaboration with dancers\, explores themes of human nature\, survival\, and vulnerability. Inspired by time in Vancouver\, BC\, Hernandez reflects on the periodic wildfires throughout the Canadian Rockies\, where wildflowers bloom amid devastation. The resilience in nature becomes a metaphor for human behavior\, relationships\, and the consequences of our actions\, forming a thought-provoking exploration for dancers and audiences alike.\n\n*Superposition*\, a group dance by Audrey DeGuia\, explores the intersection of science and spirituality through time\, space\, and the universe. Inspired by quantum theory and Carl Sagan’s idea that “We are the universe experiencing itself\,” the choreography reflects on infinite possibility and interconnectedness. Through stylized movement and interpersonal partner work\, the dancers embody the idea that the body is not just moving through space\, but is space itself- unfolding and transforming as the dancers move.\n\n*GREEN HOUSE*\, a group work created by Kaitlyn Wilson (in collaboration with dancers)\, highlights the degradation of human relationship to the environment\, leading to the environmental catastrophe we live in today. Interaction between bodies\, as well as to the space\, investigates how our relationship to nature can be restored to ensure a sustainable and connected future. The performance experience\, set to sound design by Luka Pierson\, highlights the need to rebuild not only connections to the natural environment but also rebuild community.\n\n*After Midnight*\, a contemporary group dance by Alexandra Baron\, delves into the imaginative space that emerges in the stillness of night\, where the curiosity of memory\, the awakening of imagination\, and reality collide. Drawing inspiration from the quiet creativity of late hours\, the work weaves together surreal imagery\, fluid movement\, and striking ensemble dynamics. Baron’s choreography explores remembered moments that resurface within the shadows\, blurring lines between reality and reflection.\n\n*Reflection Reclaimed*\, a group work by Olivia Weber\, explores the complex relationship dancers have with body image\, shaped by years of consistently training in front of the mirror - a tool meant for refinement\, but often used for negative self-judgement. The choreography traces the emotional journey from comparison\, insecurity\, and self-worth to acceptance and empowerment. This dance communicates and reflects on the silent battle dancers face to meet unrealistic standards both inside the dance world and in society.

After moving to Dublin in 2012\, they quickly became a staple of the live music and session scene in Ireland\, playing their own original songs as well as folk songs from Ireland\, Scotland\, England and America.\n\nAfter a chance meeting at Electric Picnic in September 2015\, the brothers performed onstage with Glen Hansard\, who invited them to open for him on his European tour the following October. \n\nIn October 2017 they launched their debut\, self-titled album to great acclaim. Comprised of harmony rich folk music\, influenced by Irish traditional music\, Appalachian singing\, and the 1960’s folk revival\, it included ten mellow tracks weaved with thoughtful lyrics\, thickly layered with strings and droning harmonium.\n\nTheir newest album Nine Waves was released on Rough Trade’s River Lea label on May 13th. Nine Waves was recorded in the Dublin Mountains at Hellfire Studios\, produced by John ‘Spud’ Murphy (whose previous work includes records by black midi\, Lankum and caroline). The album features 11 tracks of both traditional and original songs and tunes. The brotherly harmonies and multi-instrumental abilities of Diarmuid and Brían Mac Gloinn were joined on Nine Waves by Kate Ellis (cello) and Caimin Gilmore (double bass)\, both members of the Irish contemporary classical group Crash Ensemble\, and Ryan Hargadon (Anna Mieke\, Rachael Lavelle\, Kojaque) on piano and saxophone. The record also features concertina from Cormac Begley and harmonium from regular touring member of Ye Vagabonds\, Alain McFadden.

An impossible to believe\, yet\, true story. Once upon a time there was a teenage boy working on his family farm in apartheid South Africa. The year was 1960. This boy loved to sing\, in fact he loved to sing so much that he allowed himself an impossible dream. In his dream he would create a group of singers\, from his family members\, to sing traditional South African songs. His group would perform all over South Africa and they would become the greatest music group his country would ever know. How could such a dream come to a young farm boy in a country rife with hardship\, violence and trouble? Well\, Joseph Shabalala was this young farm boy and his dream would become Ladysmith Black Mambazo. \n\nThe year 2025 marks the 65th anniversary of Joseph Shabalala forming Ladysmith Black Mambazo. His group would not only conquer all of South Africa\, but would become a worldwide phenomenon\, winning more GRAMMY Awards (Five)\, and receiving more GRAMMY Award nominations (Nineteen)\, than any World Music group in the history of recorded music. \n\nDuring the dark years of South African Apartheid\, Ladysmith Black Mambazo followed a path of peaceful protest through songs of hope and love. When Nelson Mandela was released from prison\, in 1990\, he said that Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s music was a powerful message of peace that he listened to while in jail. When Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize\, in 1993\, he asked the group to join him at the ceremony. It was Mandela who called Ladysmith Black Mambazo “South Africa’s Cultural Ambassadors to the World.” \n\nThe group sings a traditional music style called isicathamiya (Is-Cot-A-Mee-Ya)\, which developed in the mines of South Africa. It was there that black workers were taken to work far away from their homes and families. Poorly housed and paid\, the mine workers would entertain themselves\, after a six-day work week\, by singing songs into the wee hours on Saturday night and Sunday. When the miners returned to their homes\, this musical tradition returned with them. \n\nIn the mid-1980s\, American singer/songwriter Paul Simon famously visited South Africa and incorporated the group's rich harmonies into his renowned Graceland album – a landmark recording considered seminal in introducing World Music to mainstream audiences. This brought the group to the attention of music lovers all over the world\, the beginning of a global musical career that shows no sign of ending. \n\nAfter leading his group for over fifty years and approaching his seventy-fifth birthday\, Joseph Shabalala retired in 2014\, handing the leadership to his three sons\, Thulani\, Sibongiseni and Thamsanqa Shabalala. Having joined their father’s group in 1993\, their many years of training had prepared them in ways no others could be trained. Now\, carrying their father’s dream into the future\, the Shabalala Family continues the group’s success for the world to hear. \n\nLadysmith Black Mambazo is Thulani Shabalala\, Sibongiseni Shabalala\, Thamsanqa Shabalala\, Msizi Shabalala\, Albert Mazibuko\, Abednego Mazibuko\, Mfanafuthi Dlamini\, Pius Shezi and Sabelo Mthembu.
