SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 1): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:Phase 1 Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. 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 &amp\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &amp\; 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Women of Color at the Academy (WOCATA)
DESCRIPTION:For the past six years\, WOCATA has centered and elevated the voices\, experiences\, and research of BIPOC women and femmes in the academy. Our core research topics and questions include how we—as emerging scholars\, community members\, and ancestors—might utilize transformative research paradigms\; Indigenous epistemologies\; Black feminist theorizations\; methodologies from Chicanx\, Dominicana\, and Filipina scholars\; or scholarship connected our different diaspora from a place of beauty and joy to sustain hope and optimism for marginalized voices in academia as we struggle for systemic change. Although we are housed within the Marsal Family School of Education at U-M (in particular\, the Educational Studies\, Higher Education\, and Joint English & Education programs)\, WOCATA’s ever-growing community has interdisciplinary members at many levels—including undergraduate\, graduate\, and postdoctoral researchers—across this institution and at many others nationwide.

SUMMARY:Performance:Adam Ezra Group
DESCRIPTION:Spontaneous roots-based music that makes a connection\n\nWelcome to Adam Ezra Group\, who\, along with nonprofit organization RallySound\, host a free festival every summer that raised $143\,000 for homeless veterans in 2023. During the pandemic\, Adam live-streamed for 500 nights in a row. The group co-produced an album with 163 fans\, and Adam takes a month out of each year to visit the living rooms of his fans around the country.\n\nIf you haven’t connected with Adam Ezra Group yet\, these are just a few examples to help understand how this underground\, Americana songwriter and his bandmates seem to have popped out of nowhere\, establishing a connection with their fans unlike any other\, and are suddenly selling out theaters throughout the Northeast.  \nAdam Ezra will joke with you that while the “nowhere” part might be accurate\, nothing has ever just “popped” for this folk musician\, activist.  Without resources\, connections\, or any kind of clue how the music world works\, Ezra began playing shows over 20 years ago. He played bars\, bookstores\, fields\, and parking lots\, often raising money for causes he cared about\; a practice that grew into his nonprofit organization RallySound.  \n\nSo how did this band operating so far outside the traditional music world come to win New England Music Award’s “Americana Act of the Year” in 2023? What could have happened to inspire John Oates to call Adam and invite him to begin a songwriting friendship that would lead to John producing their upcoming release and co-write\, “Hold Each Other Now”?  What happened to catch the attention of The Wallflowers\, who recently invited AEG to join them on their spring tour\, or SPIN Magazine who recently proclaimed\, “This Independent Underground Folk Band Is Blowing Up Without Selling Out”? \n\nIf you ask Adam\, he’ll tell you: “One person at a time\, over many years and thousands of shows\, decided to turn their heads to listen…  It’s no fairytale\, but it sure makes me proud and humbled when I look out from the stage to watch theaters full of people singing along to our music.”\n\nThese days you’ll find Adam and his bandmates\, Corinna Smith (Fiddle)\, Poche Ponce (Bass)\, and Alex Martin (Percussion)\, constantly out on the road. If you look at their tour schedule now\, you can buy tickets to see them at festivals\, rock venues\, and theaters around the country\, but you will also see their tour continuously peppered with activism and grassroots events\; a testament to an artist who will never forget where he came from\, and whose mission is about much more than music.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world.   Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate.  This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present.  Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change.  Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints.  \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Paving the Road for the Next-Generation of tSZ Cluster Cosmology
DESCRIPTION:Galaxy clusters trace the evolution of the initial density perturbations which seeded cosmic structure in our Universe\, making them powerful tools to constrain fundamental cosmological parameters such as dark energy and the fractional energy density of matter. The next-generation instrument on the South Pole Telescope\, SPT-3G\, has enabled the production of the deepest\, mm-wave detected galaxy cluster sample to date over the 100 deg² SPT-Deep survey. With 442 optically confirmed clusters at a median redshift of 0.74 and a median mass of 1.7 x 10¹⁴ M⊙\, this cluster sample provides the first look into a new regime of cluster populations accessible for cluster cosmology. One key astrophysical contaminant for mm-wave cluster cosmology is emission from star-forming galaxies as it is spatially correlated with the negative thermal Sunyaev–Zel’dovich signal used to detect galaxy clusters\; this can alter the cluster selection function—particularly for low-mass\, high-redshift systems—and potentially bias recovered cosmological parameters. For the first time\, the magnitude of this contamination at high-redshift has been quantified with combined data from SPT and Herschel SPIRE\, and we find that the tSZ signal is mitigated by dust at high-redshift (z > 1) by 4% at 95GHz\, and 18% at 150GHz. However\, we find that SPT’s 220GHz band provides sufficient leverage on dust emission to prevent this contamination from significantly impacting the cluster selection function over the mass and redshift range probed in this work. This marks an important step for validating the cluster selection function for the full forthcoming SPT-3G 1500d cluster sample that will be used for the next-generation of cluster cosmology measurements.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships: Robin Edelstein
DESCRIPTION:Robin Edelstein of the University of Michigan joins the RCGD Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships.\n\nIn the media and popular culture\, testosterone is often depicted as a hormone that is critical for seemingly “masculine” behaviors\, such as competition\, sexual prowess\, and physical strength. Based on such characterizations\, one might assume that testosterone only matters for men\, and that\, at least for men\, the more testosterone the better. In actuality\, however\, the story is more complicated: First\, testosterone is important for both men and women. Second\, although there are certainly many benefits of high(er) testosterone\, including for attracting and securing sexual partners\, lower testosterone may in fact be more beneficial for maintaining close relationships—including with romantic partners and children. In this talk\, Robin Edelstein will present work from her lab on testosterone and relationship processes in romantic and parent-child relationships. Taken together\, this work demonstrates that (a) in both men and women\, testosterone declines as a function of partnering and parenting\, (b) lower testosterone facilitates ongoing nurturant relationship processes\, and (c) testosterone matters not only for one’s own relationship outcomes but also those of one’s partner.\n\nDr. Robin Edelstein is a social/personality psychologist with expertise in close relationships\, parent-infant and adult romantic attachment\, and social neuroendocrinology. Her work is motivated by a desire to understand how important emotional and interpersonal processes\, which are typically assumed to apply to all people\, may instead differ across people in meaningful ways. Dr. Edelstein is particularly interested in understanding how close relationship experiences (e.g.\, interactions with romantic partners\, major relationship transitions) get “under the skin” to influence people’s physiology\, as well as how people’s physiology can influence their relationship outcomes. She also studies individual differences in people’s approaches to and experiences in close relationships\; how these differences develop and change over time and across the lifespan\; and the implications of these differences for interpersonal and physiological outcomes. Dr. Edelstein received her Ph.D. in Social/Personality Psychology from the University of California\, Davis. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California\, Irvine\, she joined the faculty at the University of Michigan\, where she is currently a Professor of Psychology in the Personality and Social Contexts area.\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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From entropic propagation of chaos to concentration bounds for stochastic particle systems
DESCRIPTION:We shall discuss about weakly interacting stochastic particle systems with possibly singular pairwise interactions. In this setting\, we observe a connection between entropic propagation of chaos (proved by Jabin and Wang\, 2018) and exponential concentration bounds for the empirical measure of the system. In particular\, we will show how to establish a variational upper bound for the probability of a certain rare event\, and then use this upper bound to show that ''controlled\" entropic propagation of chaos implies an exponential concentration bound for the empirical measure.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Mazur's Program B and the geometry of rational points
DESCRIPTION:I'll describe recent progress on Mazur's Program B over Q\, which aims to classify all rational points on all modular curves. Conditional on an effective version of Serre's uniformity conjecture due to Zywina\, we give such a classification. Using our parameterization we try to answer the following question inspired by Ogg: to what extent do rational points on modular curves come from geometry? This is joint work with Maarten Derickx\, Sachi Hashimoto\, and Filip Najman.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg Lecture with Martin Zanni \"Are exciton dynamics in thin films representative of actual solar cells?  Addressing the question using artifact-free ultrafast 2D photocurrent spectroscopy\"
DESCRIPTION:The performance of many photoactive devices is impacted by the dynamics of excitons within the photoactive layer. Typically\, these dynamics are deduced by independently conducted transient absorption measurements on films outside of the device with the assumption that the photophysics in free standing films inform the photophysics of the film inside the device. But there are interfaces in devices that are not present in films and the morphology and atomic packing might be impact by device construction. Moreover\, photoabsorption experiments measure all excitons whereas the best photovoltaic devices are perhaps 20% efficient\, meaning that only 1 in 5 excitons actually produce electricity. Thus\, the conclusions drawn from free standing films might not be directly relevant to devices. This talk will cover results made possible by new advances in ultrafast 2D photocurrent spectroscopy that enable ultrafast exciton dynamics to be directly compared between films and devices. In photovoltaics made from semiconducting carbon nanotubes\, we find that the conclusions drawn from films versus devices are quite different\, leading us to reinterpret long standing experiments and reevaluate our goals for device architecture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Looking for Women\, Finding Jehanne: Gender and Justice in Late Medieval Dijon
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will share some of the findings from Sara's forthcoming book\, tentatively titled Justice for Jehanne\, Survival Stories from Late Medieval France. Written as a police procedural\, it is also a medieval iteration of the timeless tale of a migrant woman from the countryside who struggled to survive in the big city\, in this case Dijon towards the end of the Middle Ages. At that particular time\, in the second half of the fifteenth century\, in the midst of warfare\, endemic disease\, and political upheaval\, Dijon's municipal authorities investigated all manner of crime and other wrongdoing. Women appeared in these investigations most often as victims or as witnesses\, but also as accused of theft\, violence\, sex crimes\, insults\, and sorcery. Sara's presentation offers an investigation of another kind\, one that asks what we can learn from these legal documents about this one woman’s life\, but also about the interworkings of gender\, religion\, and justice in late medieval society.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:When Resources Meet Relationships: The Returns to Personalized Supports for Low-Income Students
DESCRIPTION:Children from low-income families face persistent educational and economic disadvantages that contribute to long-run earnings gaps. This paper studies Communities in Schools (CIS)\, a program that places coordinators in high-poverty schools to connect struggling students with individualized support. CIS is the largest program of its kind in the U.S.\, serving nearly 2 million students annually. We find that CIS improves test scores\, attendance\, and behavior for struggling students\, and that these gains persist\, leading to higher rates of high school graduation\, college attendance\, and adult earnings. These long-run effects can be closely forecast from changes in short-run outcomes\, with non-cognitive measures playing a central role. CIS delivers returns that compare favorably to other major education interventions\, such as class-size reductions. Our results suggest that programs like CIS—combining traditional school resources with mentorship and social capital—can produce lasting improvements in education and economic mobility for disadvantaged students.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world.   Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate.  This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present.  Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change.  Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints.  \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. 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

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: Listening to Flourish: Harnessing High-Quality Listening to Build Thriving Organizations\nGuy Itzchakov\nTuesday\, November 18\, 2025\n11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required to obtain login information\nOnline\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/JPNZN\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nGood listening isn’t just passive attention\; it is an active tool that shapes how people think\, feel\, and connect. Professor Guy Itzchakov’s research shows that high-quality listening\, marked by focused attention\, accurate understanding\, and a non-judgmental intent\, facilitates profound introspection\, self-disclosure\, and social connection. When employees feel truly heard\, they report higher job satisfaction and performance\, stronger commitment\, and lower burnout and turnover intentions. Experiments also show that being genuinely listened to reduces social defensiveness\, promotes self-reflection\, and can depolarize attitudes and disagreements.  \n\nIn this Positive Links session\, Prof. Itzchakov will share his cutting-edge research and unpack what makes listening “high quality” and why it matters for leaders\, employees\, and practitioners. Drawing on studies from his lab and work with organizations worldwide\, he will explain the components of good listening and demonstrate concrete behaviors that make people feel understood. Join us to learn how high-quality listening builds trust\, liking\, and relationship satisfaction\; how it can bridge ideological divides and spark innovation by reducing defensiveness\; and how to cultivate a listening culture through training and practice. By the end of the session\, you will have research-based tools to foster positive relationships and build organizations where people can thrive. \n\nAbout Itzchakov:\nGuy Itzchakov is an Associate Professor and Department Chair in the Department of Human Services at the University of Haifa\, where he directs the “Interpersonal Listening and Social Influence Lab”. Guy received his PhD in Business Administration from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2017) and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto (2018).  \n\nHis research focuses on the effects of high-quality listening on listeners’ and speakers’ emotions\, attitudes\, and behaviors\, as well as listening training in organizations. Guy’s research includes laboratory experiments\, field studies\, and listening training studies. The latter examines how listening training programs in organizations impact managers\, employees\, and organizational outcomes. Other research lines include attitudes and persuasion\, attitude ambivalence\, and goal setting.  \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Oil\, Inflation Expectations\, and Household Characteristics: A Nonlinear Heterogeneous Agent VAR Approach
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, we develop a scalable micro-macro modeling framework that integrates linear multivariate time series models with nonlinear panel models to investigate to what extent oil supply shocks affect household inflation expectations in the Euro area in a heterogeneous and nonlinear way. We rely on a unique and very rich multi-country micro dataset of quantitative inflation expectations from the European Commission’s monthly business and consumer survey that allows us to construct pseudo individuals based on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. To capture nonlinearities in group-level dynamics\, we explicitly model the responses of our pseudo individuals as nonlinear functions of area-wide macroeconomic aggregates using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART). We find pronounced asymmetries in the response of aggregate inflation expectations to large oil supply shocks and a considerable degree of heterogeneity across countries\, gender\, income\, and age groups. We explore several economic mechanisms to explain cross-country and group-level differences in the adjustment of inflation expectations to oil supply shocks of different magnitude and sign.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Curiosity as Vice? A Virtuous Approach to Learning in Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Medical training shapes what we know\, but also who we become. Yet too often\, students approach learning with fear\, self-protection and the need to appear certain. Dr. Benjamin Frush invites us to imagine another way — one that views the unknown as opportunity\, knowledge as something to share and humility as a source of strength. Drawing on theologian Paul Griffiths’ distinction between the vice of curiositas and the virtue of studiositas\, Dr. Frush explores how a healthier moral posture toward learning can transform both medical education and patient care. \n\nDr. Benjamin Frush\, MD\, MA\, is a palliative care physician and the McDonald Agape Fellow in Bioethics at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University. He is a former fellow at the Theology\, Medicine\, and Culture Fellowship at Duke Divinity School\; a current bioethics scholar at the Paul Ramsey Institute\; and a former fellow at the Fellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE). His work in AMA Journal of Ethics\, Perspectives in Biology and Medicine and Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics focuses on virtue\, moral formation and end-of-life care. We first heard him speak at the Conference on Medicine and Religion and knew right away we had to bring him as a speaker. You won’t want to miss this conversation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Trait complexity in squamate reptiles and its effects on evolutionary analyses
DESCRIPTION:Description: Functional and phenotypic traits are used as tools for studying evolutionary diversification and ecological interactions. However\, many features that constitute these traits are complex\, multidimensional and challenging to quantify. In this presentation\, I investigate how representations of the same biological trait can influence downstream assessments of evolutionary outcomes. I use snake diets as a case study\, with diet acting as a case example of an ecological trait that can be represented under different biological criteria. I will apply a similar approach to a color pattern dataset of Australian lizards (Ctenotus) in the remainder of my dissertation and will use multiple scoring and modeling approaches to test how color pattern has evolved within in this genus. Finally\, I will leverage phylogenomic and microhabitat data to explore the distribution of color patterns in populations undergoing different stages of speciation and apply this knowledge to improve understanding of species boundaries between Ctenotus. In doing so\, I will provide a more holistic view of how organisms and their traits evolve over time.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Authoritarian Absorption: The Transnational Remaking of Epidemic Politics in China
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/E8D82\n\nChallenging conventional wisdom crediting domestic factors with shaping health institutions\, this talk demonstrates how foreign organizations\, government agencies\, and grassroots activists collectively transformed China’s epidemic governance. Under pressure from international norms and donors (especially from the U.S. and U.K.)\, Chinese officials selectively absorbed Western epidemiology and liberal practices such as community participation\, human rights discourse\, and NGO engagement to enhance China’s global standing. Rather than promoting political liberalization\, these engagements enabled the state to build a professionalized yet stratified disease surveillance system that laid the groundwork for its COVID-19 responses. This hybrid system empowered certain groups such as urban gay men to gain state recognition and resources\, while making other marginalized populations invisible. This talk corrects a core misconception—that liberal diffusion and authoritarian expansion are opposite—by revealing their mutual constitution in biomedical politics. \n\n   Yan Long is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of California\, Berkeley. She is a political and organizational sociologist whose research explores the interplay between globalization and authoritarian politics\, with a focus on public health\, civic action\, and urban development. Her work has been published in leading journals such as the American Journal of Sociology\, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory\, and Social Science & Medicine\, earning her over ten national awards. She is currently investigating how digital technology shapes urban governance during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Regions of the Mind: 19th-Century Travel Writing and Neurodiversity
DESCRIPTION:With the “Hear\, Here” series\, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\nIn her 1843 travelogue of the Great Lakes region\, American intellectual Margaret Fuller digresses at length about the “Seeress of Prevorst\,” whose cognitive disturbances were understood as supernatural visitations. This talk proposes one explanation for Fuller and her contemporaries’ preoccupation with cognition while traveling abroad: biopolitical anxieties collided with their real-world observations\, prompting Bostonian intellectuals to question theories of natural inequality in ways that might inform discussions of neurodiversity in the present.\n\nIttai Orr is a 2025-26 Norman and James Katz Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Assistant Professor\; English Language & Literature.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Labor Reallocation and Recessions: Re-Evaluating Unemployment in Interwar Britain
DESCRIPTION:How does labor reallocation across industries impact recessions? This paper takes up this question for interwar Britain\, where the Great Depression coincided with significant structural shifts resulting from World War I and the return to the gold standard. The extent to which workers reallocated across industries in response to these allocative shocks is examined using historical data on relative changes in employment and unemployment by industry. Impediments to worker reallocation are found to have played a substantial role in the interwar unemployment crisis\, but labor market fluidity varied considerably across sectors\, regions\, and gender. The Great Depression intensified these patterns\, but leaving the gold standard was associated with only a modest improvement in fluidity. Differences in worker reallocation across demographic\, industrial\, and regional groups shape our understanding of the causes of interwar unemployment and may have implications for modern policymaking regarding labor reallocation and recessions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2025 Van Eenam Lectures
DESCRIPTION:Lectures each day November 18-20\, 2025 from 4-5 pm in East Hall. \n\n*Lecture 1\, November 18\, 4 pm\, East Hall 1360: E-values and e-processes: Theory and applications*\nE-values and e-processes are potential alternatives to p-values as measures of uncertainty\, significance and evidence. We first briefly introduce the theory of e-values and e-processes\, and then briefly discuss their applications in four areas: a) Combining dependent p-values\; b) Selective inference procedures\; c) Backtesting risk measures\; d) Online large language models (LLM) watermark detection. \n\n*Lecture 2\, November 19\, 4 pm East Hall 1360: Risk aversion\, insurance propensity\, and choice under dependence*\nWe provide a foundation of risk aversion by showing that this attitude is fully captured by the propensity to seize insurance opportunities. Our foundation well accords with the commonly held prudential interpretation of risk aversion that dates back to the seminal works of Arrow (1963) and Pratt (1964). These analyses are special cases of results in the general framework of choice under dependence.\n\n*Lecture 3\, November 20\, 4 pm East Hall 4448: Bridging pure risk and ambiguity in risk measures and optimization*\nWe discuss optimization and modeling of ambiguity in risk management and decision making. We first discuss two different approaches in optimization under uncertainty\, the worst-case risk approach and the model aggregation approach. Then we present a mathematical framework using a sigma-algebra to distinguish between pure risks and ambiguity.\n\nDr. Ruodu Wang is Tier-1 Canada Research Chair in Quantitative Risk Management and Professor of Actuarial Science and Quantitative Finance at the University of Waterloo. He received his PhD in Mathematics (2012) from the Georgia Institute of Technology\, after completing his Bachelor (2006) and Master’s (2009) degrees at Peking University. He holds editorial positions in 8 leading journals in actuarial science\, operations research\, statistics\, and economics\, including Co-Editor of ASTIN Bulletin - The Journal of the International Actuarial Association and Co-Editor of the European Actuarial Journal. Among other international awards and recognitions\, he is the first winner of the SOA Actuarial Science Early Career Award (2021) from the Society of Actuaries\, and a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (elected 2022). His research papers are published in top journals across a wide range of scientific fields\, such as the American Economic Review\, the Annals of Statistics\, the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society (Series B)\, Management Science\, Operations Research\, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.\n\nVan Eenam Lectures: This lecture series is funded by the Weltha McLachlan Van Eenam\, Marjorie Van Eenam Butcher and Robert Ward Butcher Actuarial/Financial Mathematics Fund.\n\nThe Fund was established in memory of the Esteemed Emeritus Professor Cecil J. Nesbitt who was a dear friend of Marjorie Van Eenam Butcher (pictured) and Robert Ward Butcher. The fund was created as part of the Weltha McLachlan Van Eenam Memorial Fund to benefit Actuarial/Financial Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:An Introduction to Operads
DESCRIPTION:An operad O can be thought of as a sequence of spaces O(n) which encode “n-ary operations” satisfying certain compatibility axioms for compositions\, units\, and actions by the symmetric group. Different operads encode different properties that n-ary operations might possess: for instance\, the “commutative operad” Comm encodes what it means for an n-ary operation to be (“on the nose”) commutative\, while the associative operad Assoc encodes (“on the nose”) associativity. Motivated by the homotopy-associative property of loop concatenation in loop spaces\, we’ll introduce A_infinity operads and algebras over them. We’ll finish the talk with the little n-cubes operad and algebras over them (E_n / E_infinity spaces)\, which possess a “higher homotopy” analogue of commutativity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Tests of fundamental physics with thorium nuclear clocks
DESCRIPTION:Clocks based on hyperfine and electronic transitions in laser-cooled atoms\, with fractional inaccuracy and instability now reaching below 1e-18\, have revolutionized positioning\, navigation\, and timekeeping (PNT) and serve as one of the experimental foundations on which the Standard Model of particle physics is built.  A new type of clock based on the internal transitions of atomic nuclei\, dubbed nuclear clocks\, was proposed by Peik and Tamm in 2003.  Among nuclei\, the thorium-229 nucleus is unique in having a transition at low enough energy to be accessible with present-day laser technology\, and laser spectroscopy of the 148 nm thorium-229 nuclear isomer transition was first demonstrated by three groups nearly simultaneously in 2024.  Due to the higher energy scales and additional fundamental interactions present in the nucleus\, nuclear transitions are much more sensitive to small deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model than atomic transitions.  Thus\, thorium nuclear clocks may offer insights about unification theories\, the nature of dark matter\, or other physics beyond the Standard Model.\n\nI will begin this talk with a brief overview of the thorium-229 nuclear isomer transition and the two experimental approaches currently being pursued to build thorium nuclear clocks: one based on thorium doped into solid-state hosts and the other based on trapped and laser-cooled thorium ions.  Next\, I will present the design and current status of a trapped-ion thorium clock experiment under construction in my lab at UCLA.  Finally\, I will conclude with a discussion of the fundamental physics reach of this and other thorium nuclear clocks.\n\nBio: David Leibrandt is a Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at UCLA. Prior to moving to UCLA in 2022\, he led the trapped-ion optical atomic clock and precision measurement experiments within the Ion Storage Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder\, CO. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2009 and his B.S.E. in Engineering Physics from the University of Michigan in 2004. David is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a recipient of the EFTF Young Scientist Award and the Department of Commerce Gold Medal Award for the development of optical atomic clocks based on quantum-logic spectroscopy of aluminum ions with record fractional inaccuracy below 1e-18.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Beyond the Page and Across Realities: Rethinking Korean Language Learning with virtual reality and augmented reality in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/2r4zD \n \nRecent years have witnessed rapid growth in the application of immersive technologies—particularly virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR)—to foreign language education. Research demonstrates that VR environments provide unique affordances for developing intercultural competence by situating learners in authentic\, interactive contexts where they can negotiate meaning and engage with diverse perspectives. At the same time\, AR has been shown to enhance reading comprehension and engagement by embedding textual and cultural content into interactive\, real-world environments. These emerging tools are reshaping how learners experience language and culture\, moving beyond traditional classroom boundaries to create embodied\, situated forms of learning.\n   \n   This talk will first review current trends in VR and AR research in applied linguistics and Korean language education\, highlighting empirical findings. Dr. Song will then discuss classroom applications\, including both opportunities and challenges for implementation. Finally\, she will share her own research findings\, which investigate the role of VR in fostering intercultural competence and the effects of AR-based interactive Korean reading activities on comprehension and engagement. By synthesizing these strands of research\, the presentation will consider how immersive technologies can inform the future of Korean language learning and teaching.\n   \n   Jayoung Song is Assistant Professor of Korean and Applied Linguistics in the Department of Asian Studies at Pennsylvania State University\, USA. Her research focuses on second language acquisition\, technology-enhanced language learning\, and intercultural competence. She has led funded projects on augmented reality–based reading\, immersive learning through virtual reality\, and the development of intercultural competence\, supported by the Academy of Korean Studies and the U.S. Department of Education. Her work has been published in journals such as Language Learning & Technology\, Education and Information Technologies\, ReCALL\, and Applied Linguistics Review. Her current work brings together empirical research and classroom practice to explore how AR and VR can transform the future of Korean language education.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Will Wei Sun\, Associate Professor\, Department of Quantitative Methods\, Department of Statistics (by courtesy)\, Purdue University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has emerged as the leading approach to aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences. Despite its success\, two challenges remain fundamental: feedback is costly and heterogeneous across annotators\, and the resulting reward models often lack principled measures of uncertainty. This talk presents recent advances that address these challenges by integrating tools from optimal design and statistical inference into the RLHF framework. First\, I introduce a dual active learning approach\, inspired by optimal design\, that adaptively selects both conversations and annotators to maximize information gain\, improving the efficiency of limited feedback budgets. Second\, I present a framework for uncertainty quantification in reward learning\, enabling valid statistical comparisons across LLM models and more reliable best-of-n alignment policies. Together\, these results illustrate how statistics can help trustworthy and data-efficient LLM alignment.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The 2025-2026 Tanner Lecture on Human Values
DESCRIPTION:What is Political Progress?\n Progress is both a necessary and a dangerous idea. It is necessary to motivate political action oriented to the future\, and it is dangerous because the pursuit of progress has often given rise to episodes of paternalism\, colonial domination and narratives of civilisational superiority. In this lecture\, I try to defend a more critical account of progress. I start by distinguishing between moral and political progress\, then explore the relation between political progress and justice. I suggest that we make political progress not when we approximate an ideal of justice that is always known to us\, but when the political institutions we construct reflect what we learn from the trials and failures of the past. To outline how such learning processes might take place\, I defend the idea that the basic function of justice is to regulate the coercive use of power. I further explain how we should understand progress in the norms of justice as the result of cumulative processes of evolution of different views of how power ought to be exercised. \n\nSymposium Panel:\nElizabeth Anderson\, University of Michigan\nPhilip Kitcher\, Columbia University\nDaniel Wodak\, University of Pennsylvania\n\n_________________________________________\nAbout the Tanner Lectures on Human Values\nMichigan is one of nine institutions worldwide that hosts an annual Tanner Lecture on Human Values. Tanner Lectures are funded through the generosity of the late Professor of Philosophy\, industrialist\, and philanthropist\, Obert Clark Tanner\, and his wife\, Grace Tanner. Professor Tanner wrote:I hope these lectures will contribute to the intellectual and moral life of mankind. I see them simply as a search for a better understanding of human behavior and human values. This understanding may be pursued for its own intrinsic worth\, but it may also eventually have practical consequences for the quality of personal and social life.Although the Tanners established the supporting endowment in 1978\, Joel Feinberg's April 1977 lecture at Michigan inaugurated the international series of Tanner Lectures.Each year\, Michigan has a Tanner Lecture combined with an interdisciplinary symposium to which we invite distinguished scholars from around the world. These events are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Overlapping Jurisdictions: How Islamic Courts Upheld Jewish Law in Colonial Egypt
DESCRIPTION:This special lecture by Samy Ayoub\, and moderated by Aaron Rock-Singer\, will argue that legal pluralism in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Egypt was sustained by institutional structures\, procedural norms\, and Islamic legal practice under Khedival rule. Far from resisting pluralism\, Ottoman-era Islamic legal practice facilitated the incorporation of other legal traditions\, including the adjudication of Jewish communities’ affairs\, making them integral to the functioning of the legal order. This coexistence\, however\, was destabilized with the establishment of the secular national courts in 1883\, which progressively asserted universal jurisdiction and ultimately subsumed the entire legal sphere.\nSamy Ayoub (University of Texas Austin) specializes in Islamic law\, modern Middle East law\, and law and religion in contemporary Muslim societies. He focuses on issues concerning the interaction between religion and law\, and the role of religion in contemporary legal and socio-political systems within a global comparative perspective. He has pursued training in both law and Islamic Studies in Egypt\, Scotland\, and in the United States.

SUMMARY:Performance:An Intimate Evening with Shovels & Rope
DESCRIPTION:New Music!\n\nShovels & Rope is the Charleston\, South Carolina–based duo of Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent. They perform as an energetic two-piece band\, stirring up a righteous racket with two old guitars\, a handful of harmonicas\, the occasional keyboard\, and a junkyard drum kit harvested from an actual garbage heap and adorned with tambourines\, flowers and kitchen rags. But the songs are the deadliest arrows in this duo’s quiver. Since 2010\, Shovels & Rope has been traveling the highways and back roads of North America\, logging hundreds of shows and performing for crowds large and small. If you enjoy the tough new strain of Southern songwriting exemplified by Justin Townes Earle\, Jason Isbell\, the Felice Brothers\, Hayes Carll\, and Butch Walker\, Shovels & Rope are not to be missed. \n\nShovels & Rope come to The Ark with their latest album\, Something is Working Up Above My Head.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world.   Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate.  This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present.  Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change.  Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints.  \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 1): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:Phase 1 Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. 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 &amp\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &amp\; 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Piety and Power: Women and Religious Life in Central Asian Islam
DESCRIPTION:This talk introduces the story of Aghā-yi Buzurg\, an extraordinary woman who lived in sixteenth-century Bukhara—located in present-day Uzbekistan—and became one of the few known female Sufi leaders in Islamic history. Her life is documented in a hagiography titled *The Manifestation of Wonders*\, written by her male disciple. In a historical context where women’s religious authority was rarely recorded\, this text offers a rare window into how a woman could gain spiritual\, social\, and even political influence in early modern Central Asia. Aghā-yi Buzurg was not only respected for her personal piety but also led a wide network of followers\, advised rulers\, and competed with prominent male religious figures of her time. Her story challenges modern assumptions about gender roles in Muslim societies\, especially in the history of the Central Asian region. By examining her life and legacy\, Professor Shanazarova’s presentation invites the audience to reconsider how power\, gender\, and religion were intertwined in pre-modern Central Asia and to reflect on the broader historical dynamics that have shaped women's roles in the region.\n   \n   Aziza Shanazarova is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Religion at Columbia University. Her research centers on the religious history of Islamic Central Asia and the Persianate world\, focusing on the sixteenth to twentieth centuries. She earned a dual PhD in Religious Studies and Central Eurasian Studies from Indiana University-Bloomington in 2019. Prior to joining Columbia\, she taught at Stanford University and the University of Pittsburgh\, where she held a postdoctoral position.\n   \n   Shanazarova is the author of *Female Religiosity in Central Asia: Sufi Leaders in the Persianate World* (Cambridge University Press 2024)\, which received an honorable mention from the British Association for Islamic Studies/BRAIS-De Gruyter Prize in the Study of Islam and the Muslim World in 2022. She also published *Manifestations of a Sufi Woman in Central Asia: A Critical Edition of Ḥāfiẓ-i Baṣīr’s Maẓhar al-ʻajā’ib* (Brill 2020). Her peer-reviewed articles have been featured in leading journals\, including *Der Islam*\, *Journal of Sufi Studies*\, *Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society*\, *Journal of Islamic Manuscripts*\, and the *International Journal of Islam in Asia*.\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Form factors in the large-N bootstrap
DESCRIPTION:Well after 50 years since the discovery of QCD\, we are still lacking a description of the theory of strong interactions at low energies. For instance\, we do not know how to produce the rich meson spectrum out of the handful of parameters in the QCD Lagrangian\, other than by brute-force lattice simulations. This has prompted a revival of the S-matrix bootstrap\, which aims to single out the theory as the unique set of scattering amplitudes consistent with certain self-consistency conditions. This approach has led to sharp\, rigorous bounds for pion scattering in the large N limit. But these bounds are completely agnostic about the UV completion of the theory. In this talk I will explain how\, by enlarging the system to include form factors and two-point functions\, one can input UV information (computed with perturbative QCD) into the bootstrap. We will see how this improves upon the previous bounds.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:How State Context Shapes the Long Arm of Childhood
DESCRIPTION:What is the role of state contextual factors in shaping the well-documented relationship between childhood SES and health in later life? Join the Panel Study of Income Dynamics as they host\, Emily Dore\, postdoctoral research fellow at the Social Policies for Health Equity Research (SPHERE) Center at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Please RSVP by November 14 to receive lunch. \n\nAbstract: \"Research has repeatedly shown that individual-level measures of childhood socioeconomic status (SES)\, such as parental income and education\, are associated with health in later life. Less explored is the role of state contextual factors in shaping this relationship between childhood SES and adult health. Illuminating structural and political determinants of health along the life span can improve interventions by broadening their reach to the population level\, complimenting interventions that concentrate on individual behavioral changes. In this presentation\, Dr. Dore will present findings from two projects that explore these questions using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. The first investigates how the relationship between childhood SES and health in adulthood varies across states\, and which state contexts may be driving observed differences. The second examines a specific policy intervention\, welfare reform in the mid-1990s\, to understand how exposure to different types of welfare programming in childhood shapes health years later.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Colloquium Series. Memory as Perseverance: Archiving Palestine between Homeland and Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:From the thousands of ancient manuscripts and academic scholarship stolen from West Jerusalem in 1948\, to the hundreds of archives and heritage sites in Gaza that have been damaged and destroyed since October 2023\, the continuous loss of Palestinian history is deeply felt. Yet\, within this archival erasure\, Palestinians remain deeply committed to preserving their collective memory and history. Considering this\, this presentation addresses the following research question: Given the large-scale destruction and repression of formal Palestinian archives under Israeli settler colonialism\, how are Palestinians persevering in the decolonization and preservation of their historical narratives? To advance knowledge about how Palestinian archival practices operate within a framework of ongoing settler colonialism and genocide\, this study focuses on the archival infrastructures and practices of one transnational group of Palestinians\, those hailing from the city of Ramallah in the West Bank. Based on findings from a multi-sited archival ethnography of preservation practices utilized by Palestinians who have emigrated from Ramallah to the United States as well as Palestinians living in Ramallah in the West Bank\, I show how Palestinians have archived the history of Ramallah from their exiled position in the diaspora and their occupied position in the homeland. In doing so\, I contribute knowledge to archival studies’ understanding of cultural heritage preservation under settler colonial violence\, decolonial approaches to recordkeeping\, and indigenous epistemologies of archives.\n   \nTamara Rayan is a PhD candidate in the School of Information at the University of Michigan\, studying archives and digital curation. Their work focuses on representing the Palestinian diaspora and trauma in archival practices. Their work has been published in Across the Disciplines and Archival Science.\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.   Email: -- warsansa@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Fundamental Physics with kSZ Tomography: Progress and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:As CMB photons traverse through the late universe\, they scatter with electrons caught up in bulk flows of large-scale structure\, a phenomenon known as the kinetic Sunyaev Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect. By cross-correlating CMB maps with galaxy surveys\, the kSZ effect therefore allows us to tomographically reconstruct the velocity field of large-scale structure\, which contains a wealth of cosmological information. In the last decade\, this emerging program of kSZ tomography for cosmological inference has shown great progress\, with many new theoretical applications and continual improvements in data analysis. However\, very recently\, kSZ velocity reconstructions with ACT and DESI data have shown a small signal than predicted by theoretical models. This discrepancy may point us to new physical insights\, for example about baryonic feedback\, and ultimately raises questions about the future prospects of constraining cosmology with kSZ tomography. In this talk\, I will discuss the recent rapid development in kSZ tomography\, highlight the challenge that these new measurements present to us\, and suggest a path forward.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium |  On Hilbert’s sixth problem: from particles to waves
DESCRIPTION:In 1900\, the mathematician David Hilbert announced a list of 23 outstanding problems for twentieth century mathematics. In his sixth problem\, Hilbert called for the derivation of the equations of fluid mechanics—such as the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations—by way of rigorously justifying Boltzmann’s kinetic theory for particle systems. The scope of this program\, also known as Hilbert’s program\, was precisely framed in the mid-20th century through the works of Grad and Cercignani\, who identified the correct limiting process involved: the Boltzmann-Grad limit. In his celebrated work\, Lanford (1975) gave the first rigorous derivation of Boltzmann’s equations\, albeit only valid for short times. However\, Hilbert’s sixth problem requires a long-time extension of Lanford's result\, which remained open for decades. In recent joint work with Yu Deng (U Chicago) and Xiao Ma (U Michigan)\, we extend Lanford’s theorem to long times—specifically for as long as the solution of Boltzmann’s equation exists. This allows for the full execution of Hilbert’s program\, and the derivation of the fluid equations in the Boltzmann-Grad limit. The underlying strategy follows an earlier joint work with Yu Deng that resolved a parallel problem\, in which colliding particles are replaced by nonlinear waves\; thus establishing the mathematical foundations of wave turbulence theory. In this talk\, we will review this progress\, and discuss some future directions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Writing Literature Reviews
DESCRIPTION:How do I turn this never-ending tangle of literature into a neat\, polished review? In this interactive workshop\, we'll cover laying the foundation for your scholarly literature review and then taking that first critical step towards composition. We'll crowdsource tips for generating a source list\, organizing it as you go\, and starting to extract themes and ideas for section headings from your reading library. We'll also cover the basics of structure to reduce the barrier for writing your first sections. Whether you're halfway through or just starting out\, you'll have a chance to take the next step on organizing\, defining your purpose\, or revising your argumentation. This presentation will focus on reviews in the sciences\, but concepts are generalizable to all literature reviews.\n\nPresented by Jimmy Brancho\, Sweetland Center for Writing Faculty\n\nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2025 Van Eenam Lectures
DESCRIPTION:Lectures each day November 18-20\, 2025 from 4-5 pm in East Hall. \n\n*Lecture 1\, November 18\, 4 pm\, East Hall 1360: E-values and e-processes: Theory and applications*\nE-values and e-processes are potential alternatives to p-values as measures of uncertainty\, significance and evidence. We first briefly introduce the theory of e-values and e-processes\, and then briefly discuss their applications in four areas: a) Combining dependent p-values\; b) Selective inference procedures\; c) Backtesting risk measures\; d) Online large language models (LLM) watermark detection. \n\n*Lecture 2\, November 19\, 4 pm East Hall 1360: Risk aversion\, insurance propensity\, and choice under dependence*\nWe provide a foundation of risk aversion by showing that this attitude is fully captured by the propensity to seize insurance opportunities. Our foundation well accords with the commonly held prudential interpretation of risk aversion that dates back to the seminal works of Arrow (1963) and Pratt (1964). These analyses are special cases of results in the general framework of choice under dependence.\n\n*Lecture 3\, November 20\, 4 pm East Hall 4448: Bridging pure risk and ambiguity in risk measures and optimization*\nWe discuss optimization and modeling of ambiguity in risk management and decision making. We first discuss two different approaches in optimization under uncertainty\, the worst-case risk approach and the model aggregation approach. Then we present a mathematical framework using a sigma-algebra to distinguish between pure risks and ambiguity.\n\nDr. Ruodu Wang is Tier-1 Canada Research Chair in Quantitative Risk Management and Professor of Actuarial Science and Quantitative Finance at the University of Waterloo. He received his PhD in Mathematics (2012) from the Georgia Institute of Technology\, after completing his Bachelor (2006) and Master’s (2009) degrees at Peking University. He holds editorial positions in 8 leading journals in actuarial science\, operations research\, statistics\, and economics\, including Co-Editor of ASTIN Bulletin - The Journal of the International Actuarial Association and Co-Editor of the European Actuarial Journal. Among other international awards and recognitions\, he is the first winner of the SOA Actuarial Science Early Career Award (2021) from the Society of Actuaries\, and a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (elected 2022). His research papers are published in top journals across a wide range of scientific fields\, such as the American Economic Review\, the Annals of Statistics\, the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society (Series B)\, Management Science\, Operations Research\, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.\n\nVan Eenam Lectures: This lecture series is funded by the Weltha McLachlan Van Eenam\, Marjorie Van Eenam Butcher and Robert Ward Butcher Actuarial/Financial Mathematics Fund.\n\nThe Fund was established in memory of the Esteemed Emeritus Professor Cecil J. Nesbitt who was a dear friend of Marjorie Van Eenam Butcher (pictured) and Robert Ward Butcher. The fund was created as part of the Weltha McLachlan Van Eenam Memorial Fund to benefit Actuarial/Financial Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG Seminar Geometry\, Topology\, Dynamics: Metric Lines in Carnot groups
DESCRIPTION:Among nilpotent Lie groups\, Carnot groups form a particularly important subclass\, with the Heisenberg group being the most well-known example. Carnot groups admit the structure of a sub-Riemannian manifold. Thus\, to broaden the context\, a sub-Riemannian geodesic is a local arc-length-minimizing curve. A natural question is: What are the conditions for a geodesic to be a global minimizer? A curve is called a metric line if it is a globally minimizing geodesic\; an alternative term is “an isometric embedding of the real line.” The talk is devoted to presenting the results and ideas that inspired me to formulate a conjecture classifying metric lines in Carnot groups\, as well as the results obtained in this direction.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Barycentric Lagrange Tree-Traversal Fast Summation Algorithms
DESCRIPTION:Tree-based algorithms are popular methods for the fast summation of particle interactions\, including the Barnes-Hut treecode and the Greengard-Rokhlin fast multiple method\, which reduce the operation count for a given tolerance from O(N) to O(NlogN) and O(N) respectively. Since then\, there have been several improvements to these algorithms to solve different problems. In this talk\, we present the Kernel Independent Treecode (KITC) [1] and the Barycentric Lagrange Dual Tree Traversal (BLDTT) [2] methods\, both of which take advantage of the stability properties of barycentric Lagrange polynomial interpolation which will also be discussed. Additionally\, we will show how these methods are easily parallelizable using CPUs or GPUs\, as well as discussing the performance with examples of problems in fluid and plasma dynamics where these methods have been used. Finally\, we present plans for future implementations of these methods in modeling the solar magnetic field in the solar corona.\n\n[1] L. Wang\, R. Krasny\, and S.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Qahwah & Authors. Borícua Muslims with Ken Chitwood
DESCRIPTION:RSVP: https://myumi.ch/z9y1R\n   Date: November 19\, 2025 at 5:00 PM\n   Location: UMMA Multipurpose Room\n   \nJoin us on November 19\, 2025 at 5:00 PM at UMMA Multipurpose Room for a conversation with Ken Chitwood on his new book *Borícua Muslims: Everyday Cosmopolitanism among Puerto Rican Converts to Islam*.\n   \n   Drawing on years of ethnographic research and more than a hundred interviews conducted in Puerto Rico\, New York\, Florida\, Texas\, New Jersey\, and online\, Ken Chitwood tells the story of Puerto Rican Muslims as they construct a shared sense of peoplehood through everyday practices and historical reimaginings that complicate ideas about race\, ethnicity\, and religion in the Americas. Expanding the geography of global Islam and recasting the relationship between religion and Puerto Rican culture\, “Borícua Muslims” reckons with the many entanglements of Latinx and Muslim identities amid late-modern globalization.\n   \n   \n   Joining us in conversation with Ken Chitwood will be University of Michigan Professors Sara Awartani\, Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes\, and Aliyah Khan (moderator).\n   \n   \n   Meet the speakers:\n   \n   \nKen Chitwood is a postdoctoral researcher pursuing Habilitation with the Department for the Study of Religion at Universität Bayreuth.

His second book\, *Borícua Muslims: The Everyday Lives of Puerto Rican Converts to Islam* is out now with the University of Texas Press (2025)\; and his third book\, the edited anthology *Engaged Spirituality: Stories of Religious Inspiration\, Resilience\, and Work for the Common Good* is due out with Bloomsbury (2026). Chitwood’s academic work focuses on Islam and religion in the Americas\, Latinx Muslims\, Christian-Muslim relations\, global Christianity\, Muslim minorities\, and ethnographic methods and manifestations of religion-beyond-religion in a global and digital age. He is also a working journalist\; an editor of ReligionLink\, a premier resource for journalists reporting on religion\; and the current president of the Religion News Association (RNA).\n   \n   \nSara Awartani is an interdisciplinary historian at the University of Michigan whose research\, publications\, and teaching focus on twentieth-century U.S. social movements\, interracial solidarities\, policing\, and American global power\, with special attention to Latinx and Arab American histories. Her first book project\, *Solidarities of Liberation\, Visions of Empire: Puerto Rico\, Palestine\, and American Global Power* (under contract)\, chronicles a globally expansive story of Palestine liberation\, Puerto Rican radicalism\, and the United States' efforts to weaponize and police those freedom dreams. Awartani's research appears in a variety of peer-reviewed and public-facing forums\, including Radical History Review\; Kalfou: A Comparative Ethnic Studies Journal\; Society & Space\; Middle East Report\; and” Critical Dialogues in Latinx Studies: A Reader.” Her research has received support across subfields\, including the Puerto Rican Studies Association and the Arab American National Museum\, with additional recognition by the Ford Foundation and the Latin American Studies Association.\n   \n   \nLawrence La Fountain-Stokes is Professor of American Culture\, Romance Languages and Literatures\, and Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He is author of *Queer Ricans: Cultures and Sexualities in the Diaspora* (2009) and *Translocas: The Politics of Puerto Rican Drag and Trans Performance* (2021). His books of fiction include *Uñas pintadas de azul/Blue Fingernails* (2005) and *Abolición del pato* (2015). He appears as Lola von Miramar in the YouTube series *Cooking with Drag Queens*.\n\nAliyah Khan (moderator) is Director of the Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC)\, and Associate Professor of English\, and Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. She specializes academically in postcolonial Caribbean and Muslim literatures\, and she has also published creative nonfiction in *Guernica* and various anthologies. Khan’s award-winning book *Far from Mecca: Globalizing the Muslim Caribbean* (2020) is the first scholarly monograph on the comparative history\, literature\, and music of enslaved African Muslims and indentured Indian Muslims in Guyana\, Trinidad\, and Jamaica. Her interviews have appeared in and on *NPR*\, the *Washington Post*\, *Times of India*\, *Sky TV (UK)*\, *NCN Guyana Broadcasting*\, *Bayt al Fann*\, and other venues.\n   \nThis event is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored at U-M by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS)\, the Islamophobia Working Group (IWG)\, the Arab and Muslim American Studies (AMAS) Program in American Culture\, the Latina/o Studies Program in American Culture\, and the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures (RLL).\n   \nFor more events from the Global Islamic Studies Center at the University of Michigan\, please visit ii.umich.edu/islamicstudies\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world.   Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate.  This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present.  Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change.  Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints.  \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 1): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:Phase 1 Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. 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 &amp\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &amp\; 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.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Finding a Fair Approach to Clean Energy Siting
DESCRIPTION:Across the U.S.\, state policies for siting clean energy vary in terms of which level of government holds decision-making authority for projects. Amid the patchwork of policies\, one thing is increasingly clear: prevailing approaches to siting and permitting fall short. A fair share approach offers what existing policies lack: a path of shared responsibility\, balancing local and statewide interests and ensuring all communities contribute to meeting state goals.\n\nIn this webinar\, U-M's Center for EmPowering Communities and Clean Air Task Force will introduce a “fair-share” policy model\, put forward in our recent paper\, A Fair Share for Clean Energy. We’ll begin with an overview of current siting policies from Clean Tomorrow\, then explore how the core principles of a fair share approach could address existing challenges and where elements of this approach are already emerging in state policy. While there is unlikely to be one “off-the-shelf” model\, we will discuss strategies for adapting this framework to fit existing regulatory contexts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Shift: Managing Your Emotions—So They Don’t Manage You
DESCRIPTION:Please register to attend at https://myumi.ch/xwz2k\n\nWhether it’s anxiety about going to the doctor\, boiling rage when we’re stuck in traffic\, or devastation after a painful break-up\, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiraling. But as difficult as our emotions can be\, they are also a superpower. Far from being “good” or “bad\,” emotions are information. When they’re activated in the right ways and at the right time\, they function like an immune system\, alerting us to our surroundings\, telling us how to react to a situation\, and helping us make the right choices.\n\nBut how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? In this talk\, Ethan Kross dispels common myths and provides an accessible\, science-based framework for shifting our emotions so they don’t take over our lives.\n\nEthan Kross is one of the world’s leading experts on emotion regulation. An award-winning professor and bestselling author\, he studies how the conversations people have with themselves impact their health\, performance\, decisions and relationships. He has been profiled in The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, and The Wall Street Journal\, featured on Good Morning America and some of the world's most popular podcasts. Shift was designated one of the best books of the year by Publishers Weekly and Amazon.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Tools and Technology Seminar by Doug Craig
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nWhat happens when you bring a large language model to the front lines of care? This talk explores our work building a voice-driven\, edge-deployed LLM system for use in the emergency department. With no internet connection\, low-latency inference\, and a fully local privacy-preserving design\, our system runs entirely offline. It adapts dynamically to both the patient and the physician's specialty\, enabling tailored language understanding in fast-moving clinical contexts. We'll unpack key design choices\, challenges of real-time interaction\, and what it takes to make language models clinically useful when seconds matter.\n\nAbout The Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Palmer Commons\, Room 2036\, each Thursday at 12pm EST. Each seminar highlights a computational tool\, technology\, or methodology that is under development or in current use and is of special interest to DCMB and University researchers. Presenters are U-M researchers and students.\n\nThese seminars are live-streamed and recorded and made available for future viewing via the DCMB YouTube Channel

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Allie Obermeyer\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:A reception with light refreshments will be held in the B10 lobby before each seminar from 1-1:30 p.m.\n\nAllie Obermeyer is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at Columbia University. The Obermeyer Group harnesses the biological and polymeric properties of proteins to create new materials. These studies blend approaches from chemical and synthetic biology\, protein engineering\, and polymer physics. Allie obtained her undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Rice University and performed undergraduate research in the laboratory of Seiichi P.T. Matsuda. She then joined the Department of Chemistry at UC Berkeley and earned a PhD degree under the guidance of Matthew Francis as a part of the Chemical Biology Graduate Program. She subsequently conducted postdoctoral training in the Chemical Engineering department at MIT as an Arnold Beckman postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Bradley Olsen. In 2017\, she started her independent career at Columbia University. She has been the recipient of an NSF CAREER and NIH MIRA award as well as a Camille Dreyfus Teacher Scholar Award and a Teaching Award from the Columbia Engineering Alumni Association. \n\nProtein de-mixing is essential to the organization of cellular components. These phase separated membraneless organelles\, termed biomolecular condensates\, create distinct environments that are essential to cellular processes ranging from signaling to gene expression and stress response. Equilibrium theories reasonably describe the formation of and biomolecule partitioning in these biomolecular condensates\, but cellular activities regularly create unstable nonequilibrium compositions. Here I share our efforts to understand how model biomolecular condensates respond when forced out of equilibrium. We create model condensates via the complex coacervation of an enzyme and a polyion. The phase behavior of the resulting liquid-like drops is coupled to their catalytic activity via the local pH. Reaction with chemical “fuel” lowers the pH\, creating unstable nonequilibrium conditions\, ultimately triggering the formation of internal vacuoles and size dependent droplet dissolution. These responses depend on the rate of reaction-induced pH changes relative to relaxation mechanisms inside the drops. Slow changes are controlled by equilibrium thermodynamics\; faster pH changes couple to macromolecule transport on the drop scale. Finally\, we demonstrate that these findings translate to more biologically relevant condensates.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: Building a Collaborative Water Quality Monitoring Strategy for a Changing St. Louis River Estuary
DESCRIPTION:The St. Louis River Estuary\, located at the headwaters of Lake Superior\, is nearing a major milestone: its anticipated delisting as a Great Lakes Area of Concern by 2030. Yet even as remediation and restoration successes are celebrated\, new environmental stressors\, particularly harmful algal blooms\, raise concerns about the estuary’s long-term water quality health. In response\, a group of local\, state\, federal\, and tribal partners who have long worked in and cared for the estuary began calling for a science-based monitoring strategy that could respond to emerging threats and support ongoing stewardship beyond delisting. This group of partners\, who had long advocated for a coordinated monitoring effort\, collaborated closely with the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve to launch this collaborative research project.\n\nTogether\, they shaped a shared vision: a comprehensive program of observations\, analyses\, and public reporting that would protect remediation and restoration investments and inform future decision-making. The partners and project team developed a research approach that combined strong scientific design to build foundational understanding of phytoplankton dynamics with a focus on generating practical\, actionable insights for a shared long term monitoring strategy. In this webinar\, the project team will share more about predictors of cyanobacteria biovolume identified in the estuary and an actionable sampling approach they developed to improve bloom detection and efficient water quality monitoring into the future.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Water@Michigan November Coffee Talk
DESCRIPTION:Talk Description:\n\nCopper is arguably the most important metal for energy scenarios because it is essential for manufacture and deployment of low-carbon electricity generation\, transmission\, and storage\, and vehicle electrification. Copper is also essential for modern economies because it is required for the expansion of infrastructure such as wiring for electricity distribution and telecommunications\, air conditioning and space heating\, plumbing\, industrial equipment\, rail and public transportation systems\, and vehicles. The presumption persists that the copper needed for all these purposes will continue to be available. Dr. Simon will discuss projected copper demand\, realistic copper supply\, including recycling\, and the critical need to increase discovery rates to put new deposits into production.\n\n\nAbout the Speaker: Adam Simon\, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences\, LSA\n\nAdam Simon is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences in LSA. Simon's research group combines experiments with field and laboratory work to understand the chemical and physical processes affecting element mobility in geologic systems\, with a particular emphasis on how nature concentrates metals in small volumes of Earth's crust to form mineral deposits. The Simon research group ultimately aims to improve genetic models for mineral deposit formation to ensure a sustainable supply of resources for our growing global population. Simon holds a PhD in Geology from the University of Maryland and was a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University.\n\nAbout Water@Michigan Coffee Talks: \nCoffee Talks provide a monthly opportunity for U-M faculty\, staff\, and students interested in water\, and water-interested people in southeast Michigan to connect with colleagues\, learn about pressing and/or emerging water-related issues\, and meet new partners.\n\nThis academic year\, we are excited to explore the intersection of water + energy and what this nexus means to U-M researchers\, institutes\, and external partners. Please fill out the linked form below to RSVP for the fall series. Upon registration\, you will receive a calendar invite from Sarah Miller (milsar@umich.edu) with meeting-specific information.\n\nCoffee Talks are in-person convenings designed to build connections as part of the U-M Water Center's mission and programs\; we are not recording sessions at this time.\n\nPlease register here: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Developing Resilient Complex Energy Systems under Data Scarcity/Abundancy Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Resilience implies the ability of a system to withstand adverse events and recover from the effects of the adverse events. Inspired by resilient activities in ecology and other non-engineering fields in responding to and recovering from catastrophic adverse events\, the research objective is to adapt resilience to engineering design and operation domains in order to create failure resilient energy systems. To realize engineered resilience\, a new paradigm for engineering design under uncertainty is developed\, which enables concurrent development of reliable system functions and proactive prognosis of function failures. Failure prognosis plays an important role in realizing engineered resilience since it detects\, diagnoses\, and predicts system-wide effects of adverse events\, therefore enables a proactive approach to deal with system failures. This talk will introduce the resilience concept and system design and operational challenges\, and then present recent advances achieved in design\, especially under different scenarios when data related to system failures is rare or abundantly but indirectly available. Practical engineering applications on battery energy storage systems at different scales will be used to demonstrate the advances. \n\nBio:  Dr. Pingfeng Wang is currently a professor and holds the Donald Biggar Willett Faculty Scholar and the Jerry S. Dobrovolny Faculty Scholar in Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering at University of Illinois. Dr. Wang’s expertise lies in the field of engineering design for reliability and failure resilience\, and prognostics and health management\, where he focuses on developing new design methods and computational tools to improve resilience of engineered systems. He is the recipient of the NSF CAREER award and the ASME design automation Young Investigator Award. Dr. Wang’s research is currently supported by NSF\, DOD\, DOE\, DOT\, and private industry and nonprofit sponsors.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2025 Van Eenam Lectures
DESCRIPTION:Lectures each day November 18-20\, 2025 from 4-5 pm in East Hall. \n\n*Lecture 1\, November 18\, 4 pm\, East Hall 1360: E-values and e-processes: Theory and applications*\nE-values and e-processes are potential alternatives to p-values as measures of uncertainty\, significance and evidence. We first briefly introduce the theory of e-values and e-processes\, and then briefly discuss their applications in four areas: a) Combining dependent p-values\; b) Selective inference procedures\; c) Backtesting risk measures\; d) Online large language models (LLM) watermark detection. \n\n*Lecture 2\, November 19\, 4 pm East Hall 1360: Risk aversion\, insurance propensity\, and choice under dependence*\nWe provide a foundation of risk aversion by showing that this attitude is fully captured by the propensity to seize insurance opportunities. Our foundation well accords with the commonly held prudential interpretation of risk aversion that dates back to the seminal works of Arrow (1963) and Pratt (1964). These analyses are special cases of results in the general framework of choice under dependence.\n\n*Lecture 3\, November 20\, 4 pm East Hall 4448: Bridging pure risk and ambiguity in risk measures and optimization*\nWe discuss optimization and modeling of ambiguity in risk management and decision making. We first discuss two different approaches in optimization under uncertainty\, the worst-case risk approach and the model aggregation approach. Then we present a mathematical framework using a sigma-algebra to distinguish between pure risks and ambiguity.\n\nDr. Ruodu Wang is Tier-1 Canada Research Chair in Quantitative Risk Management and Professor of Actuarial Science and Quantitative Finance at the University of Waterloo. He received his PhD in Mathematics (2012) from the Georgia Institute of Technology\, after completing his Bachelor (2006) and Master’s (2009) degrees at Peking University. He holds editorial positions in 8 leading journals in actuarial science\, operations research\, statistics\, and economics\, including Co-Editor of ASTIN Bulletin - The Journal of the International Actuarial Association and Co-Editor of the European Actuarial Journal. Among other international awards and recognitions\, he is the first winner of the SOA Actuarial Science Early Career Award (2021) from the Society of Actuaries\, and a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (elected 2022). His research papers are published in top journals across a wide range of scientific fields\, such as the American Economic Review\, the Annals of Statistics\, the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society (Series B)\, Management Science\, Operations Research\, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.\n\nVan Eenam Lectures: This lecture series is funded by the Weltha McLachlan Van Eenam\, Marjorie Van Eenam Butcher and Robert Ward Butcher Actuarial/Financial Mathematics Fund.\n\nThe Fund was established in memory of the Esteemed Emeritus Professor Cecil J. Nesbitt who was a dear friend of Marjorie Van Eenam Butcher (pictured) and Robert Ward Butcher. The fund was created as part of the Weltha McLachlan Van Eenam Memorial Fund to benefit Actuarial/Financial Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Double DE Seminar: Nonuniqueness of Leray--Hopf solutions to the unforced incompressible 3D Navier--Stokes Equation
DESCRIPTION:The nonuniqueness of Leray--Hopf solutions to the unforced incompressible 3D Navier--Stokes equations is one of the central open problems in mathematical fluid dynamics. Inspired by earlier works by Jia-Sverak\, Guillod-Sverak\, and Albritton-Brue-Colombo\, we construct a Leray--Hopf solution in the self-similar setting and then establish the existence of a second solution by analyzing the stability of the linearized operator around this profile\, showing that it corresponds to an unstable perturbation. To achieve this\, we develop an innovative numerical method that computes candidate solutions with high precision and propose a framework for rigorously establishing exact solutions in a neighborhood of these candidates. A key step is to decompose the linearized operator into a coercive part plus a compact perturbation\, inspired by the works of Chen-Hou\, which is further approximated by a finite-rank operator up to a small error. The invertibility of the linearized operator restricted to the image of this finite-rank approximation is then rigorously verified using computer-assisted proofs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Dealing with anthropogenic environments:  why some species thrive and how we make the best of marginal habitats
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Why do some species thrive in novel\, anthropogenic environments\, and others do not? How can a basic understanding of ecology\, evolution and behavior inform conservation efforts in human -dominated environments? In this seminar\, I highlight a range of studies from the Snell-Rood lab over the last few years. We have used butterflies to explore costs and constraints in the evolution of plasticity and brain size\, and the role of stress responses in dealing with new toxins. I will review some of our work on roadsides as habitat for pollinators to show how an understanding of behavior\, genetic variation\, and movement of pollutants through ecosystems can inform conservation in marginal habitats. Finally\, I will share some of our recent efforts to expand the power of bio-inspired design in the classroom and in human applications\, from robotics to architecture.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Narrating \"Before\" and \"After\": Linearity and Sequence in Indigenous History
DESCRIPTION:Can embracing Indigenous sequence be a strike against colonial order? \"Indigenous history is not linea\" is a axiom that holds much truth\, pushing back against a repressive and colonial sense of historical order. Yet it exists in tension with an Indigenous desire for histories that show how the Native present emerged from the Native past. It also stands in uneasy relation with the sequential logics of multiple Indigenous (hi)storytelling traditions. Drawing on Native Hawaiian literature and historiography and a community history project with a Native Californian tribal Nation\, this talk will explore the need for sequence even as we reject repressive order.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Institutional Uncertainty and State Building: National-Scale Experimental Evidence from Nepal (with Stefano Fiorin (Bocconi)\, Rohini Pande (Yale)\, Soledad Prillaman (Stanford)\, Jonathan Weigel (Berkeley)\, Noam Yuchtman (LSE))
DESCRIPTION:Institutions anchor expectations about how power will be exercised\; when these expectations are widely shared\, they create the predictability needed for economic exchange\, cooperation\, and long-term investment (North 1990\, 1991). We report results from a nationwide field experiment testing whether beliefs about the durability and inclusiveness of political institutions causally shape investments in state capacity. While canonical theories in political science and economics propose this mechanism (e.g.\, North\, Wallis\, and Weingast\, 2009\; Olson 1993)\, there is limited direct measurement of these beliefs and\, to our knowledge\, no causal evidence on this relationship. We conduct an experiment with 4\,400 local politicians and bureaucrats in Nepal -- a nascent federal democracy at an institutional critical juncture -- who were randomly exposed to accurate information about political stability or inclusion. Treatments effectively updated beliefs about future institutions\, including expectations of continuity in future rules for executive selection\, protections for minority rights\, and media freedom. Participants were then given the opportunity to perform a real-effort task: collecting data on births\, deaths\, and marriages to support the national civil registration system. Participants systematically underestimated Nepal’s current political stability\, so receiving the World Bank score (in the 50th percentile globally) typically constituted a positive and surprising update. This treatment increased confidence in institutional quality and durability and raised participation in the state-building task from 22% in the control group to 26% in the treatment group (p < 0.05). In contrast\, information highlighting the underrepresentation of women and historically underrepresented castes reduced optimism about future institutions and dampened task effort among these subgroups. These results indicate that perceptions of state fragility causally affect investments in state capacity. They also reveal that beliefs about political inclusion also affect policy maker investments in state capacity\, offering an efficiency rationale for inclusion distinct from social justice concerns.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Real-time electrocatalytic control of C-H and C-C bond transformation and fuel formation
DESCRIPTION:Producing fuels and chemicals using electricity has drawn considerable interest in recent decades. To date\, research in electrocatalysis – the key tool which allows us to link electricity to chemical reactions – remains strongly focused on the transformation of small inorganic molecules such as CO2\, H2O\, N2\, and oxygenated biomass derivatives. Yet\, comprehensive industrial electrification will likely require electrocatalytic methods that can promote the reactions that make up the core of the chemicals and fuels industry: n-alkane transformations.\nIn this talk\, I will demonstrate that electricity-driven alkane transformations not only are feasible but that they also unlock new avenues of reactivity\, offering solutions to long-standing challenges in catalytic alkane chemistry. Specifically\, I will show how our group combined a fundamental understanding of interfacial electrocatalytic processes1 with in-situ electrochemical mass spectrometry to gain independent\, real-time control over the elementary steps of alkane transformations at room temperature. By modulating the potential applied to an electrocatalyst surface\, we were able to independently control the adsorption of n-alkanes\, initiate the transformation of adsorbates while they are bound to the surface\, and selectively desorb desired products while keeping others anchored. These methods provide a powerful lever of control over catalytic surface chemistry\, enabling us to demonstrate remarkable reactivity\, including: (1) the room-temperature electrochemical fragmentation of ethane2 and butane3 into shorter chain fragments\, and (2) the room-temperature dehydrogenation of n alkanes to alkenes.4 Beyond these transformations\, I will show how leveraging independent control over elementary steps allowed us to deconstruct the continuous oxidation of n-alkanes in fuel cells into its fundamental steps—identifying bottlenecks and providing new design principles for improved catalysts.5\nIn the final part of my talk\, I will discuss how\, at a fundamental level\, applied voltages control the rate of electrocatalytic reactions. Electron transfer reactions are typically thought to pass through a vibrationally activated transition state\, making them temperature dependent. However\, we discovered that some electrocatalytic reaction classes\, for example CO₂ reduction\, show little to no temperature dependence\, regardless of the catalyst or electrolyte. Building on previous reports by Halpern and Conway\, I will discuss how our mechanistic interpretation of this phenomenon points to the translational\, rather than vibrational\, reorganization of electrolyte components to form an interfacial electron transfer transition state.6 I will also discuss how this insight highlights the importance of considering more than enthalpic activation barriers in designing electrocatalytic systems.\nBy extending electrocatalysis to alkane transformations and uncovering new mechanistic insights into reaction rate control\, we aim to enable more precise atomic-level manipulation in electrocatalytic processes\, paving the way for a more selective\, efficient\, and electrified chemical industry of the future.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Making and Recognizing Slave Bodies in Classical Athens
DESCRIPTION:Gerald F. Else Lecture\n\nIn his defense of slavery\, Aristotle claims that nature makes the bodies of free men and slaves different. But he also recognizes that this is “often” not the case\, and that some slaves are endowed with the bodies of free people (and vice versa) (Politics 1254b27-34). In this talk\, I suggest that in classical Athens\, too\, an attempt was made to naturalize the distinction between slaves and free people (and especially citizens)\, but by different means: namely\, through the differential treatment of enslaved people\, including bans from the gymnasium\, whipping and other corporal punishment\, fetters and chains\, tattooing and branding\, manual labor\, etc. In this way\, legible “slave bodies” were made\, thus justifying\, albeit retroactively\, their bearers’ enslavement. However\, just as Aristotle’s argument breaks down\, so too in Athens does the hard-and-fast distinction between slave and citizen bodies crumble when held up to scrutiny.\n\nDeborah Kamen is Professor of Classics at the University of Washington. Her work focuses primarily on the social and cultural history of Ancient Greece\, with particular attention to slavery. Her first book\, Status in Classical Athens (2013)\, was described as \"indispensable reading for anyone interested in ancient Athenian society\" and an \"important contribution to scholarship.\" She has also written a book on Insults in Classical Athens (2020) and co-edited the volume Slavery and Sexuality in Classical Antiquity (2021). Slavery is attested throughout ancient Greek history and all over the Greek world. Her most recent book\, Greek Slavery (2023)\, offers a state-of-the-art guide to research on ancient Greek slavery\, surveying recent scholarly trends and controversies and suggesting future directions for research.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Marshmallow Laser Feast
DESCRIPTION:Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF) is an experiential artist collective that believes in the power of stories to tickle the senses and shift perceptions. Their work takes audiences on multisensory journeys where imagination and information collide.\nComprising coders\, poets\, chemists\, ventriloquists\, and collaborators from brands to institutions\, MLF explores new forms of culture\, interrogates our relationship with the world around us\, and leaves a glittery slug trail as they journey through the cosmos.\nThey create stories that untangle\, entangle\, and flavor reality—blurring the lines between art\, immersive experiences\, XR\, and film. Their work comes alive in galleries\, museums\, public spaces\, parks\, nature reserves\, and the metaverse. Grounded in research\, it carves out space to expose\, explore\, and expand our connection with the living world.\nMLF has exhibited internationally at institutions including ACMI\, Barbican Centre\, YCAM\, DDB Seoul\, Sundance Film Festival\, Factory International\, Quartier des Spectacles in Montreal\, SXSW\, Phi Centre\, and the Lisbon Architectural Triennale. Their work has been featured in renowned publications such as The Guardian\, New Scientist\, Wired\, Independent\, Creative Review\, and more.\nBarnaby Steel\, artist and creative director of MLF\, centers his practice on the senses—inviting audiences into states of expanded perception where the boundaries between bodies blur. His work is deeply rooted in scientific observation\, using it as a window to look through and beyond human experience to understand complexities hidden from the naked eye. Barnaby’s art steps outside the human-centered worldview\, exploring the threads that weave us into relationship with the more-than-human world.\nWith support from Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum and the Michigan Institute for Data and AI in Society. \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. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:Performance:Great Lake Swimmers
DESCRIPTION:“A stunning variety of tones and textures… nothing less than both cerebral and sublime” –American Songwriter\n\nFeaturing a blend of acoustic instruments\, rural soundscapes\, and wistful vocals\, Great Lake Swimmers are a critically acclaimed indie-folk group led by Tony Dekker. Based in Southern Ontario\, the group emerged in the early 2000s with a succession of heavily atmospheric albums recorded in old silos and rural country churches. The music developed in that pastoral warmth\, performed and recorded in acoustically resonant and historical locales with a revolving cast of personnel. They are renowned for homespun folk and lush\, intimate Americana in their live shows.\n\nTheir newest album\, Caught Light\, out Oct 10\, 2025\, is their most immediate and instinctive album to date. Recorded in just five days in Ontario’s Ganaraska Forest with producer Darcy Yates (Bahamas) and engineer Jimmy Bowskill (Blue Rodeo)\, it draws warmth from early ’70s folk-pop while embracing a new spontaneity and directness in Dekker’s songwriting.\n\nGreat Lake Swimmers have been shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and nominated twice for Canada’s Juno Awards\, with the CBC calling them “a national treasure.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world.   Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate.  This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present.  Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change.  Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints.  \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Brothers and Uncles\, Kings and Typecutters
DESCRIPTION:Explore the evolution of the printed page through the prism of one remarkable family of scholar-printers. \n\nPrinting changed the speed and scale at which information circulated. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cathy Barry Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barry has a profound connection to the natural world\, which has shaped her artistic journey. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit- Closer: A look at the tiny world around us
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhibit featuring the photography of Joseph Ferraro\, free and open to the public at Matthaei Botanical Gardens.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nJoseph is a conservation photographer living and working in southeast Michigan. 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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Desirable Ranking
DESCRIPTION:We study the problem of aggregating individual preferences over alternatives into a collective ranking. A distinctive feature of our setting is that agents are matched to alternatives. Applications include rankings of colleges or academic journals. The foundation of our approach is that alternatives agents desire---that is\, those they rank above their match---should also be ranked higher socially. We introduce axioms to formalize this idea and call rankings that satisfy them desirable. We develop an algorithm to construct desirable rankings and prove that\, as the market becomes large\, desirable rankings converge to the true underlying ranking of the alternatives by quality. We support this convergence result through simulations and demonstrate the practical usefulness of our approach by ranking Chilean medical programs with data from their centralized admission system. Finally\, we compare performance and show that our approach outperforms two benchmarks: revealed preference rankings and Borda counts.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 1): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:Phase 1 Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. 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 &amp\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &amp\; 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Global Indigeneity
DESCRIPTION:The Global Indigeneity workshop takes its cue from David Chang’s work which challenges a narrative of discovery through accounts of how non-European generated their own global geographies. Indigenous studies generally emphasize a need to understand indigeneity and\, indigenous peoples from their own perspectives. However\, this approach tends to limit indigenous worlds to themselves\, overlooking how indigenous peoples looked outward to establish their own understandings of the world and other peoples. Join our Eisenberg presenters as they grapple with the epistemic traditions of indigenous peoples to “understand the world from their perspective.”\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Museums at Noon presentation
DESCRIPTION:Comics\, in France\, are serious business. 1 in 4 books sold today is in the form of a comic book\, and ever since 1974\, the country has hosted one of the world’s largest international comics festivals. Having long recognized the medium as the “9th art”\, France prides itself in being one of the rare countries that has championed the potential of the medium early on\, and it’s not an overstatement to say that some of its comics authors and artists are considered national heroes. \n\nIn this presentation\, I will share the findings from my time spent in France researching an important cultural recognition of the medium: its museification. This talk will highlight my experience in comics museums in Angoulême and Blois. By paying close attention to the exhibition choices of these institutions\, I will question our understanding of what a museum space “should” be\, what it is\, and what potential it holds for the future.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Spiderweb Capitalism: How Global Elites Exploit Frontier Markets
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, the anonymous leak of the Panama Papers brought to light millions of financial and legal documents exposing how the superrich hide their money using complex webs of offshore vehicles. Spiderweb Capitalism takes you inside this shadow economy\, uncovering the mechanics behind the invisible\, mundane networks of lawyers\, accountants\, company secretaries\, and fixers who facilitate the illicit movement of wealth across borders and around the globe. Kimberly Kay Hoang traveled more than 350\,000 miles and conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews with private wealth managers\, fund managers\, entrepreneurs\, C-suite executives\, bankers\, auditors\, and other financial professionals. She traces the flow of capital from offshore funds in places like the Cayman Islands\, Samoa\, and Panama to special-purpose vehicles and holding companies in Singapore and Hong Kong\, and how it finds its way into risky markets onshore in Vietnam and Myanmar. Hoang reveals the strategies behind spiderweb capitalism and examines the moral dilemmas of making money in legal\, financial\, and political gray zones. Spiderweb Capitalism sheds critical light on how global elites capitalize on risky frontier markets\, and deepens our understanding of the paradoxical ways in which global economic growth is sustained through states where the line separating the legal from the corrupt is not always clear.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Friend or Foe? Delegating to an AI whose Alignment is Unknown (with Drew Fudenberg)
DESCRIPTION:AI systems have the potential to improve decision-making\, but decision makers face the risk that the AI may be misaligned with their objectives\, which can lead them to restrict the information that the AI can use. We study the resulting \"covariate-design'' problem in the context of a treatment decision\, where a designer decides which patient attributes to reveal to an AI before receiving a prediction of the patient's need for treatment. Providing the AI with more information  increases the benefits of an aligned AI but also amplifies the harm from a misaligned one. We characterize how the designer should select attributes to balance these competing forces\, depending on their beliefs about the AI's reliability. We show that the designer should optimally disclose attributes that identify rare segments of the population in which the need for treatment is high\, and pool the remaining patients.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Connecting the Calabi-Yau landscape and physics using the geometry of elliptic fibrations
DESCRIPTION:Calabi-Yau manifolds have been used for over 30 years as a primary way of compactifying string theory to give semi-realistic models of physics in four dimensions.  This talk describes recent progress in using the geometry of elliptic fibrations through the approach known as F-theory to better understand the physics of a broad class of nonperturbative string compactifications\, to identify ways in which the Standard Model of particle physics arises naturally in this context\, and to shed light on the structure of the largest known set of Calabi-Yau manifolds.  In particular\, the talk will describe a recent complete analysis the full set of 470 million toric hypersurface Calabi-Yau threefolds\, of which over 99.99% have an elliptic or genus one fiber structure.  This approach also helps understand the way in which all of these Calabi-Yaus are connected\, and provides strong evidence that the set of such manifolds is finite.  This talk describes recent work with Shing Yan Li and with Fatima Abbasi and Richard Nally\, and upcoming work with Lara Anderson\, James Gray\, and Richard Nally.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Emily Zakem
DESCRIPTION:Microorganisms mediate the biogeochemical cycles of the Earth system and the atmospheric fluxes of greenhouse gases. However\, historically\, microorganisms have been crudely represented in Earth system models in ways that have limited our understanding of global-scale microbial impacts and potential feedbacks to global change. As our understanding of microbial communities expands\, how can their activity be more mechanistically represented at large scales? I will discuss new insights into nitrogen and carbon cycling in the ocean gained from describing microbial activity simply yet dynamically in marine ecosystem models\, harnessing physical and chemical constraints to microbial growth. The broadly applicable strategy allows the presence or absence of microbial “metabolic functional types” to emerge from ecological interactions\, providing more fundamental explanations for observed biogeochemical patterns and paving the way for improved prognostic capabilities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Laura Gwilliams received her BA in Linguistics from Cardiff University (UK) and a Master's degree in Cognitive Neuroscience of Language from the BCBL (Basque Country\, Spain). Laura then joined NYU\, first as a research assistant\, and then as a PhD student\, working with David Poeppel\, Alec Marantz and Liina Pylkkanen. There she used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to study the neural computations underlying dynamic speech understanding. Laura's dissertation `Towards a mechanistic account of speech comprehension' aims to combine insight from theoretical linguistics\, neuroscience and machine-learning\, and has received recognition from Meta\, the William Orr Dingwall Foundation\, the Martin Braine Fellowship\, the Society for Neuroscience\, and the Society for the Neurobiology of Language. As a post-doctoral scholar with Eddie Chang\, Laura added intracranial EEG and single-unit recordings to her repertoire of techniques. She used her time in the Chang Lab to understand how laminar single neuronal spiking encodes speech properties in humans. Now as the director of the Gwilliams Laboratory of Speech Neuroscience (the GLySN Lab) at Stanford University\, her group aims to understand the neural representations and computations that give rise to successful speech comprehension\, using a range of recording methodologies\, and analytical techniques.\n\nDr. Gwilliams will be joining us via Zoom.\n\nTitle: Computational architecture of human speech comprehension\n\nAbstract: \nHumans understand speech with such speed and accuracy\, it belies the complexity of transforming sound into meaning. The goal of my research is to develop a theoretically grounded\, biologically constrained and computationally explicit account of how the human brain achieves this feat. In my talk\, I will present a series of studies that examine neural responses at different spatial scales: From population ensembles using magnetoencephalography and electrocorticography\, to the encoding of speech properties in individual neurons across the cortical depth using Neuropixels probes in humans. The results provide insight into (i) what auditory and linguistic representations serve to bridge between sound and meaning\; (ii) what operations reconcile auditory input speed with neural processing time\; (iii) how information at different timescales is nested\, in time and in space\, to allow information exchange across hierarchical structures. My work showcases the utility of combining cognitive science\, machine-learning and neuroscience for developing neurally-constrained computational models of spoken language understanding.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: Radiation Effects on Quantum Dots
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThis presentation discusses the radiation effects on nanostructures (quantum dots) after exposure to ionizing radiation by observing changes in luminescence. The goal of our research is to evaluate quantum dots in solution for radiation hardness\, specifically total ionizing dose (TID). Various compositions of commercially available quantum dots are examined\, and a high activity 137Cs source is used to induce ionization damage in quantum dot samples. Laser-induced photoluminescence spectroscopy\, and Xe bulb-induced fluorescence spectroscopy are used to measure quantum dot luminescence. We observe significant changes to the luminescence of irradiated quantum dots and find that changes are based on quantum dot composition. We performed TID up to 100 kR. We explore Graphene\, Perovskite\, and CdTe quantum dots in our study\, with fluorescence spectroscopy as the most reliable measurement technique. \n\nBio: \nEdward Cazalas\, Ph.D.\, Nuclear Engineering Program at University of Utah. Prof. Cazalas earned his Ph.D. from Penn State in Nuclear Engineering. He since worked at RAND Corporation and the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology. His research is in the areas of radiation detection\, dosimetry\, and radiation effects on electronics and materials. He has been at the University of Utah since 2018 and has served as faculty advisor to its ANS chapter since 2020. \n\nThe NERS Colloquia Series invites leading researchers\, industry experts\, and thought leaders from across the nuclear engineering and radiological sciences community to share their insights with students\, faculty\, and guests. Covering a wide range of topics—from cutting-edge research and emerging technologies to policy\, education\, and professional development—the weekly talks offer an opportunity to explore current issues and innovations shaping the future of the field.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology seminar: Real Heegaard Floer Homology
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In recent years\, there has been a flurry of interest in gauge theoretic invariants of manifolds equipped with an involution\; in particular\, such invariants have been used to detect exotic RP^2-knots (Miyazawa) and to settle the non-sliceness of cables of the Figure 8 knot (Kang-Park-Taniguchi). For 3-manifolds with an involution\, there is a Heegaard Floer analogue of these invariants\, developed in joint work with C. Manolescu. However\, to develop the 4-dimensional aspects of the theory\, it is necessary to first show the real Heegaard Floer homology groups are natural. In the talk\, I will review the construction of our invariants\, and discuss a sketch of the proof of naturality\, highlighting the subtleties that arise in the equivariant setting. This is joint work in progress with Manolescu.

SUMMARY:Performance:Brett Dennen
DESCRIPTION:New music!\n\nAcross his career\, Brett Dennen has established himself as the kind of singer-songwriter who finds inspiration by digging into the nooks and crannies of the human condition—exploring pain\, joy\, sadness\, and all points in between. If It Takes Forever (Mick Music)\, the California native’s eighth solo album and first full-length since 2021’s See the World\, is no exception. The warm\, immersive collection boasts deeply felt sentiments\, underpinned by rich acoustic guitars and Dennen’s earnest vocals\, in the vein of dusky Americana (“Golden State of Mind”)\, harmonica-driven blues (the Tom Petty-esque “Careful What You Wish For”)\, rootsy indie (“Don’t Go Talking”)\, and meditative folk-rock (highlight “Time To Wake Up”).\n\nSince debuting in 2004 with a self-titled album\, Dennen has amassed a loyal fanbase thanks to a steady touring schedule\, including alongside artists like John Mayer\, Jason Mraz and G Love and Special Sauce\, as well as multiple song placements in the TV show Parenthood. Another tune\, \"Comeback Kid (That's My Dog)\,\" became the theme song for the TV adaptation About A Boy. Along the way\, Dennen has also had multiple top 10 hits on the AAA radio charts\, with the keening title track of See the World\, an encouraging song about growing up and forging your own path in life\, landing at No. 4 in 2021. \n\nWith If It Takes Forever\, Dennen plans to hit the road once again\, but he possesses additional perspective on—and gratitude for—the solace provided by art and music. “To really boil it down\, this is life\,” he says. “Life is full of things that get complicated and make you busy\, and are really hard to deal with. But if you write songs about it\, and put it into art\, then it makes it a lot more relevant and meaningful and worthy of celebration.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Symphony Band
DESCRIPTION:The bending of space\, time and our perception of reality through emotion is the inspiration for this collection of contemporary music. Although Charles Ives wrote his quirky \"Country Band\" March more than a century ago\, he was a composer way ahead of his time. David Biedenbender's evocative piece for saxophone quartet and band challenges the imagination with a story of puppets becoming unmoored to their strings. And Michigan faculty member Patrick Harlin imagines a furious trip through the ages and their iconic musical worlds in his brand new piece \"The Time Traveler\,\" which was co-commissioned by the University of Michigan Symphony Band through the support of the H. Robert Reynolds Commissioning Fund. \n\nJason Fettig\, conductor\nDaJuan Brooks\, student conductor\nCerus Quartet\, guest saxophone soloists\n\nPROGRAM\n\"Country Band\" March\, Charles Ives/ trans. Sinclair\n*Severance*\, David Biedenbender        \n*Lament*\, Chang Su-Koh\n*The Time Traveler*\, Patrick Harlin

SUMMARY:Performance:Ember & Ash
DESCRIPTION:Fiddle * Guitar * Fire\n\nEmber & Ash\, the duo forged by Erin Zindle and Alex Holycross\, is as captivating and dangerous as a spark on the wind in the dry season. Armed with fiddle and guitar\, these two Michigan songwriters have had long careers\, both defying genre boundaries in their own respective bands (The Native Howl’s “Thrash Grass” and The Ragbirds’ edgy global folk-rock)\n\nAlex & Erin’s voices curl together like smoky ribbons floating above a wild\, elemental energy. In their live performances the duo seem to come more alive with each note\, stoking a heat that threatens to burn the whole place down.

SUMMARY:Performance:Denitia
DESCRIPTION:“Fusing elements of country\, folk and rock\, Denitia establishes a newfound American utopia” –NPR\n\nOn her new album\, Sunset Drive\, Denitia shares her story of going after something new — a life back in Nashville\, where she attended college\, immersed in both the city’s roots music scene and the community of the artist collective Black Opry — while experiencing the menagerie of emotions that come with leaving behind what you knew and starting over. Across the album\, she draws from the country and alternative rock music she listened to growing up outside of Houston\; the songs of artists such as the Eagles\, Vince Gill\, Waylon Jennings\, Joni Mitchell\, Dolly Parton\, and Neil Young\, ever present in her life\; and the decade she spent entrenched in Brooklyn’s indie music scene. \n\nDenitia’s music has been featured in the films Nanny and The Invitation\, as well as in the series Better Things (FX)\, Broad City (Comedy Central)\, Dear White People (Netflix)\, Shrinking (Apple TV+)\, and The Terminal List (Amazon). She has toured extensively with the Black Opry Revue\; been invited to perform at the National Museum of African American Music and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville\; and shared stages with Jason Isbell\, Amythyst Kiah\, Joy Oladokun\, and Allison Russell\, among other artists. \n\nIn 2023\, Denitia earned one of five spots in a residency hosted by the Black Opry and WXPN\, was named to Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country class\, and was one of three artists selected for CMT and mtheory’s Equal Access cohort. And the momentum continued in 2024: Denitia was one of CMT’s 2024 Next Women of Country\; was named an artist to watch by the Nashville Scene\; made her Grand Ole Opry debut and opened shows for Mickey Guyton in 2024. Denitia was a featured vocalist in Dolly Parton’s Threads: My Songs in Symphony.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Steel Wheels
DESCRIPTION:New Blue Ridge acoustic Americana with old-time flavors\n\nVirginia-based folk-rock band The Steel Wheels have spent almost twenty years writing\, recording\, and touring\, all the while constantly honing their evolving brand of American roots music. Additionally they are the founders and hosts of the Red Wing Roots Music Festival\, a beloved staple of the Shenandoah Valley. Through the years\, The Steel Wheels have drawn on both traditional form and modern sounds to capture the beauty in all of life’s varied trials and triumphs. Their latest album\, Sideways\, is a meditation on resilience and survival. Trent Wagler\, the band’s lead singer and primary songwriter\, penned many of the songs in response to loss\, and the uncertainty that comes with facing what we can’t control.
