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: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: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:Performance:Jen Sygit
DESCRIPTION:Bluesy folk with an edge\n\nSometimes traditional\, sometimes contemporary\, always imbued with a raw honesty\, Lansing based Independent Music Award winning songwriter Jen Sygit wields a rare and powerful talent that seems equally comfortable performing ethereal folk tunes\, crooning sultry swing numbers or soulfully belting gritty alt country ballads. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist who isn’t afraid to test boundaries and cross genres\, Jen’s eclectic musical style draws the listener in and holds them captivated. Her poignant lyrics tinged with a delicate melancholy\, reveal an oft-overlooked beauty to life’s mundane struggles while offering the occasional glimpse into the plight of a modern day troubadour.\n\nJen has released four solo albums with her latest “It’s About Time” -produced by Sygit’s long time friend and collaborator Dominic John Davis (bassist to Jack White\, Buddy Miller\, Joshua Davis) and featuring guest appearances from Luther Dickinson\, Colin Linden\, The McCrary Sisters and Rachael Davis- revealing a depth and maturity to Sygit’s ability as both songwriter and performer.

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 | Dark Bondi Accretion Aided by Baryons and the Origin of JWST Little Red Dots
DESCRIPTION:The gravothermal core collapse of self-interacting dark matter halos provides a compelling mechanism for seeding supermassive black holes in the early Universe. In this scenario\, a small fraction of a halo\, approximately 1% of its mass\, collapses into a dense core\, which could further evolve into a black hole. We demonstrate that this process can account for the origin of JWST little red dots (LRDs) observed at redshifts 𝑧∼4–11\, where black holes with masses of 10^7M⊙ can form within 500 Myr after the formation of host halos with masses of 10^9M⊙. Even if the initial collapse region triggering general-relativistic instability has a mass on the order of one solar mass\, the resulting seed can grow into an intermediate-mass black hole via Eddington accretion of baryonic gas. Subsequently\, it can continue to grow into a supermassive black hole through dark Bondi accretion of dark matter particles. In this scenario\, the majority of the black hole's mass originates from dark matter accretion rather than baryonic matter\, naturally explaining the overmassive feature of LRDs.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Estimating the (Un)seen: Sample-dependent Mass Estimation
DESCRIPTION:We study mass estimation for distributions over countably infinite domains\, where the objective is to estimate the probability mass of sample-dependent sets. Classical results such as missing mass estimation and its k-heavy-hitters generalizations fit into this framework\, but little is known beyond these examples. We introduce a systematic study of mass estimation tasks defined by set-valued functions that map a finite sample to a subset of the domain\, and identify general conditions under which simple estimators succeed. In particular\, we show that the empirical-distribution-based estimator achieves vanishing error whenever the size of the image space of the set-valued function grows sublinearly with the sample size\, and that the leave-one-out estimator works whenever the set-valued function satisfies a natural stability property. These results unify and extend prior analyses\, yielding new guarantees for functionals such as neighboring mass\, pierced sets\, and structured combinations via unions and intersections. We conclude by broadening our scope to understand the landscape of estimatability. To that end\, we give an example of a set-valued function that is not estimatable and leave open the question of finding matching necessary and sufficient conditions for such functions to be estimatable.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships: Shelby Scott
DESCRIPTION:Shelby Scott of the University of Texas San Antonio joins RCGD's Fall Seminar Series on the Science of Social Relationships.\n\nIntimate relationships play a critical role in shaping mental and physical health across the lifespan. However\, LGBTQ+ couples and families face unique stressors rooted in stigma\, discrimination\, and systemic inequities. In this talk\, I will present a programmatic line of research that integrates dyadic and longitudinal methods to understand how minority stress intersects with core relationship processes (e.g.\, communication\, stability). Drawing from studies of same-gender couples\, transgender and nonbinary partners\, and sexual minority women of color\, I will highlight findings from actor–partner interdependence models (APIM) that demonstrate both within-person and cross-partner effects of minority stress on relational outcomes. I will then describe the systematic approach my team has taken to intervention development\, including community-engaged qualitative work\, quantitative modeling of dyadic processes\, and the creation and testing of culturally informed relationship education programs. Collectively\, these studies underscore the importance of moving beyond deficit-based models to highlight both the vulnerabilities and cultural strengths of LGBTQ+ families\, with the goal of dismantling systemic barriers and advancing health equity. The talk will conclude by outlining ongoing and future directions\, including intervention refinement for transgender and nonbinary populations\, the development of minority stress prevention programs for LGBTQ+ youth\, and frameworks for supporting queer parents. \n\nShelby B. Scott\, Ph.D. (she/her)\, is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Texas at San Antonio and Director of the Promoting Resilience in DiversE Family (PRIDE) Studies Lab. Her research examines how minority stress shapes the relational and health outcomes of LGBTQ+ couples and families\, with a focus on same-gender couples\, transgender and nonbinary populations\, and sexual minority women of color. Using dyadic and longitudinal methodologies\, Dr. Scott’s work evaluates both universal and culturally specific relationship processes\, aiming to identify pathways that foster resilience and well-being. She has led intervention development efforts\, including relationship education programs for female same-gender couples and developed clinical guidelines for working with same-gender couples. Her research has been supported by the American Psychological Foundation\, the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association\, and the Association of American Medical Colleges. Dr. Scott is deeply committed to community-engaged scholarship\, dismantling systemic barriers to culturally responsive care\, and training the next generation of equity-focused researchers and clinicians.\n\nAbout the series:\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\nThis event will be held in person\, watch-party style\, as the speaker will be streaming in. \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:Family Formation and Migration: The Legacy of the Opioid Epidemic
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, we examine how the opioid epidemic affected family formation and migration decisions in the United States. Leveraging variation in local exposure to the epidemic—driven by Purdue Pharma’s targeted marketing of OxyContin and proxied by 1996 cancer mortality rates—we find that commuting zones with greater exposure experienced a significant rise in fertility\, primarily among unmarried\, noncollege- educated women in their late twenties. This increase was accompanied by changes in migration patterns: exposure prompted selective out-migration of college-educated women\, who tend to have lower expected fertility early in life. Our findings suggest that the epidemic altered local population composition and contributed to long-term demographic divergence across commuting zones.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gaussian fluctuations for the open one-dimensional KPZ equation
DESCRIPTION:In this talk we consider the open one-dimensional KPZ equation on the interval $[0\,L]$ with Neumann boundary conditions. For $L \sim t^{\alpha}$ and stationary initial conditions\,  we obtain matching upper and lower bounds on the variance of the height function for $\alpha \in [0\,\frac23]$ for different choices of the boundary parameters. Additionally\, for fixed $L$ and an arbitrary probability measure as initial conditions\, we show Gaussian fluctuations for the height function as $t\to \infty$. Joint work with Sayan Das and Antonios Zitridis.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Generically Artinian modules and duality
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The talk treats joint work of Yongwei Yao and the speaker that is in progress. Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring\, let $P \in \Spec(R)$\, and let $A:= R/P$. We discuss a theory of generically Artinian modules for $R$ at $P$ when $P$ is a prime that need not be maximal: results similar to Matlis duality hold on a *Zariski neighborhood of* $P$.  We introduce the notion of a *generically Artinian module at* $P$\, of a *generically injective module at* $P$\,  and of a *generically injective hull* $E$ for $R/P$.  When it exists\, $E$ turns out to be unique up to non-unique isomorphism after possibly passing to a smaller Zariski neighborhood of $P$. The results are proved under mild conditions on $R$. The key results  show that many statements from classical duality theory hold after localizing at just *one* element of $R \setminus P$.  Here is one example.  If $H$ is any generically Artinian module at $P$  then\, after localizing at one element  $g \in R \setminus P$\, the associated graded module of $H_g$\, namely\, $\bigoplus_{t = 0} ^\infty {{\Ann_{H_g}P^{t+1}}\over{\Ann_{H_g} P^t}}$\, is free over $A_g$: in fact\, all of its graded components are $A_g$-free. This parallels classical results of Grothendieck on generic freeness in EGA\, but the strength of this and several other results is surprising\, because the modules considered typically have neither ACC nor DCC.  It turns out that under mild conditions on $R$\, the local cohomology modules $H^i_P(M)$ for a Noetherian $R$-module $M$ are generically Artinian. These results recover\, in a much more general framework\, earlier work of the authors\, which generalized results of Karen Smith and J\'anos Koll\'ar. The authors have used these ideas to settle long standing questions in tight closure theory.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Duality and Fourier-Deligne for certain connected commutative unipotent group ind-schemes
DESCRIPTION:There is a notion of duality due to Serre on the category of perfect connected commutative unipotent groups (cpu) over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristics k. For the objects in (cpu)\, there is also an analogue of the Fourier transform known as the Fourier-Deligne transform due to Deligne. \n\nIn this talk\, we introduce the category of Tate objects Tate(cpu)\, whose objects are certain connected commutative unipotent group ind-schemes. We then extend the aforementioned notions of duality and Fourier-Deligne transform to the category of Tate objects. This talk is based on joint work with Tanmay Deshpande.

Within this field\, historical cinema has occupied a particularly prominent position\, encompassing both the artistic auteur cinema of figures such as Andrzej Wajda and the Cinema of New Memory of the 1960s. Following the political and economic transformations of 1989\, historical cinema retained its significance: between 1990 and 2023\, approximately 200 historical films were produced in Poland\, marking a gradual yet visible resurgence at the turn of the century through the wave of Polish heritage cinema. This trajectory intensified following the establishment of the Polish Film Institute in 2005\, which facilitated the emergence of what is now referred to as the Cinema of National Remembrance (CNR).\n   \nFocused predominantly on the twentieth-century history of the Polish state and nation\, the CNR is a diverse and multifaceted phenomenon. In this presentation\, Durys proposes to examine the CNR as a site in which affective practices engender communities of memory\, thus negotiating the relationship between the center and the margins of Polish cultural memory. By employing melodrama as a mode and the crime genre as a narrative framework\, Durys will delineate the central images and affective investments within these films\, while simultaneously attending to the silences and omissions that persist at the margins of this cinematic discourse. Through this approach\, she aims to demonstrate how contemporary Polish historical cinema functions as a dynamic field of cultural production\, articulating contested visions of Polishness while also exposing the affective and ideological limits of these representations.\n   \n   Elżbieta Durys is a Fall 2025 Widzinski Senior Fellow at CCPS and an associate professor of education (Cultural Studies Center) at the University of Warsaw. Her recent research focuses on film and history\, remediation of memory in film\, contemporary Polish historical cinema\, as well as film education. In her work\, she stresses gender perspective and critical theories. Durys has written numerous articles on film\, co-edited two volumes on American cinema (2006\, 2007) and two volumes on gender in culture (2005\, 2014)\, and published three books in Polish—the analysis of John Cassavetes oeuvre (2009)\, the monograph of American police movies (2013)\, and *Film as a Source of Historical Knowledge* (2019). She is a member of the editorial boards of *Literatura i Kultura Popularna* (since 2018) and *Education Research Quarterly* (since 2021).\n   \n*Deaf Cinema*\n   \n   As the first technology capable of recording sign language\, film was deliberately adopted by\n   deaf communities as early as the 1910s. The exclusion caused by the introduction of sound in\n   the late 1920s proved to be a catalyst for the growth of deaf audiences. Today\, films by deaf\n   filmmakers are flourishing thanks to the accessibility of affordable filming and editing\n   equipment\, and the distribution systems of disability and deaf film festivals and the internet.\n   \n   Similar to other Eastern European countries\, the deaf film movement flourished in Poland from the late 1960s onwards. In this presentation\, Zdrodowska will present the dynamics of the Polish deaf film movement and how it correlates with political\, social\, and cultural changes in Poland and the Polish deaf community. In the socialist state\, fostering a distinct deaf identity was discouraged\, and social\, political\, and cultural activities were controlled by the state and its institutions. This influenced deaf filmmaking during communism and after its collapse. Another significant development was the adoption of the concept of Deaf culture\, which reshaped Polish d/Deaf filmmaking in the 2010s.\n   \n   Magdalena Zdrodowska is a Fall 2025 Widzinski Senior Fellow at CCPS and an associate professor of media studies and cultural studies at the Institute of Audiovisual Arts at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow\, Poland. She works at the intersection of disability studies\, deaf studies\, history of technology\, and film studies. She currently focuses on the relationship between cinema and deafness and approaches deaf-related technologies\, deaf spectatorship\, and deaf filmmaking as lenses through which to view the history of cinema as both art and technology. She serves as a chair of the Disability Studies in East Europe research platform and as a member of the executive committee of the Society for the History of Technology SHOT. Zdrodowska has translated L. Davies' *Enforcing Normalcy into Polish* (2022). She is currently working on her third book\, *Deaf Cinema*. Her earlier monographs are *Telewizja na pograniczach* [Television on the Borderlands] (2013) and *Telefon\, kino i cyborgi* [Telephone\, Cinema and Cyborgs] (2021).\n\nIf 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.

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:Are Fiscal Transfers Inflationary?
DESCRIPTION:We assess the inflationary effects of fiscal transfers by leveraging advances in the identification of fiscal policy shocks within the recently proposed rotational invariant time-varying structural vector autoregression. Our analysis suggests that the fiscal transfers shocks can explain the bulk of the contributions to the post-pandemic in- creases inflation until mid 2021. Thereafter\, inflation has been mainly driven by supply chain and demand shocks. In addition\, we find that fiscal transfers were essential for preventing a decline in real output per capita similar to the one experienced during the Great Depression.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series -  Effects of lake habitat and carbon supplementation on freshwater microbes mobilizing plastic-derived carbon into the environment
DESCRIPTION:Description: Plastic debris is becoming pervasive in aquatic environments\, posing risks to ecosystems and human health. Environmental bacteria and fungi have shown the ability to break down plastics\, influencing the transport and fate of plastic in the environment\; yet few such studies mimic realistic conditions\, limiting our understanding of the rates and mechanisms of these processes. While many studies have demonstrated plastics-degrading bacteria and fungi\, in nature these microbes do not exist in isolation. Additionally\, many studies examine the growth of microbes on plastic as their sole carbon source\; however\, this does not reflect environmental conditions where various carbon sources are present. Furthermore\, aquatic systems are dynamic with light\, temperatures\, and microbial communities varying by depth\, likely leading to depth-dependent microbial metabolisms and thus plastic fate. To more accurately characterize freshwater plastic degradation\, our team incubated plastics at varying lake depths and maintained the resulting complex microbial biofilms in the laboratory under similar physical and nutrient conditions. We measured how microbial communities under varied conditions mobilize plastic-derived carbon (PE-C) into the environment and assimilate it into their cells using gas chromatography isotopic ratio mass spectrometry (GC-IRMS) and nano secondary ion mass spectrometry (nanoSIMS) with 99% 13C high-density polyethylene film. We found that the rates and amounts of PE-C mobilized into the environment differs between the surface photic and deep aphotic zones. Adding natural non-plastic carbon sources boosted both the mobilization of PE-C into the environment (e.g.\, water and atmosphere) and cellular biomass. These findings suggest that depth is a key determinant for microbial plastic degradation and that naturally occurring non-plastic carbon sources may prime microbial degraders\, enhancing degradation potential in the environment. A better understanding of the microbial constraints on environmental plastic degradation is essential for modeling the fate of plastics and plastic-derived carbon\, identifying favorable biodegradation conditions\, and assessing potential ecosystem impacts.

The evening will culminate with the announcement of the winning team.\n\nTHE CHALLENGE\nThis year’s theme\, “Material Matters\,” asks students to design products that weave sustainability into outdoor products and experiences. Student teams employ sustainably-oriented textiles in physical\, digital\, or hybrid “phygital” products that support engagement with the outdoors – from balconies to backyards to ballparks to beaches to bayous and beyond.\n\nTHE COURSE\nThe University of Michigan’s Integrated Product Design (IPD) program brings together interdisciplinary teams of students from business\, engineering\, information\, and design. Students collaborate in cross-functional teams to operate as independent companies competing in a specific product market.\n\nEach semester\, IPD focuses on a unique design challenge\, and asks teams to operate as independent firms competing in that market. The curriculum combines lectures with hands-on work\, guiding teams through critical stages such as customer discovery\, concept generation\, technical development\, production planning\, pricing\, and marketing.\nThe IPD Challenge is more than a classroom project. It’s a hands-on experience that pushes students to create solutions that could shape industries. By integrating business strategy with technical feasibility and user-centered design\, the competition mirrors the real-world product development process. Students don’t just build prototypes—they develop go-to-market strategies and refine their concepts based on real feedback.

SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:Political Speech and The Public Square
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan is an institution with diverse communities\, interests and opinions. In Fall 2024\, the Faculty Senate Office launched this series – Political Speech and the Public Square – to provide a forum for members of the U-M community to present informed\, fact-based perspectives\, and to listen to and learn from each other. In his essay\, “Education as a Space to Change Your Mind\,” philosopher Troy Jollimore reminds us of Socrates’ commitment to open-mindedness: “It requires that we work toward developing a sense of the world as a vast and complex place that we can\, and ought to\, continue to learn about for the rest of our lives.”\n\nOffered in this spirit of intellectual humility\, to support the principles of academic freedom\, and to develop a campus climate comfortable with hearing different well-informed points of view\, even those counter to one’s own views\, the lunchtime series will take place on the Diag throughout the Fall. U-M Students\, staff\, and faculty can sign up in advance to request an opportunity to speak on select topics for 3-5 minutes. Or they can simply come to listen and learn. These events are co-sponsored by the Faculty Senate Office\, the Initiative for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, the Ginsberg Center\, Open Inquiry: Talking Maize & Blue\, and Central Student Government. \n\nEvent Dates/Topics:\n\nThis year’s series asks community members to share their perspective on the following topics:\nWhat Do I Want in a New U-M President? (September 23\, 2025. 12-1pm)\nModerator: Neeraja Aravamudan\, Director\, Ginsberg Center\nArtificial Intelligence: Is It a Good Thing?

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SRC Seminar Series Presents: Insights into cognitive aging around the world: evidence from the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAlthough nearly 75% of global Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD)cases will occur in low- and middle-income countries by 2050\, little ADRD research includes data from these regions. The Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) is a major innovation that provides\, for the first time\, harmonized data for cross-national comparisons of later-life cognitive functions that are sensitive to linguistic\, cultural\, and educational differences across countries. The HCAP was first developed by the US Health and Retirement Study (HRS) team in partnership with its global network and has now been implemented in over 20 countries around the world. However\, cognitive function does not lend itself to direct comparison across diverse populations without careful consideration of the best practices for such comparisons. This seminar will present the process of a culturally sensitive statistical methodology to harmonize HCAP data around the world\, theoretical and methodological considerations for high-quality comparative analyses of cognitive aging around the world\, and insights gained from such analyses to-date.\n\nBiography:\nLindsay Kobayashi  is an Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Global Public Health at the U-M School of Public Health\, Faculty Associate in the Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research\, and Associate Director for Research Strategy at the U-M Center for Global Health Equity. Her research is on the social epidemiology of cognitive aging from a global perspective\, investigating how social and economic factors throughout the life course influence cognitive health in older adults around the world. She is a Co-Investigator of the Health and Retirement Study and the Co-Director of the HCAP Network.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Addressing Structural Racism in Heart Failure Care and Outcomes: A Mixed Methods Evaluation of the Social Structure of Care Delivery
DESCRIPTION:This is a Curtis Center Health Equity Seminar Series presentation in panel discussion format\, featuring Dr. Russell Funk\, Dr. Donald S. Likosky\, and Curtis Center Faculty Affiliate and former Director\, Dr. Daphne C. Watkins\, who will be presenting on behalf of all of the CARE-CONNECT Investigators. \n\nHeart failure (HF) affects over six million Americans and disproportionately impacts racial and ethnic minorities\, as well as women\, due to systemic disparities in care. These groups face higher risk factors\, limited access to specialists\, underutilization of evidence-based therapies\, and worse outcomes. Structural racism and discrimination (SRD) embedded in healthcare delivery are key drivers of these inequities.\n\n\nThis project examines how the social structure of care delivery\, provider networks and organizational relationships\, contributes to disparities. By analyzing network patterns\, identifying barriers and facilitators\, and engaging stakeholders\, the project aims to develop a best practices toolkit to strengthen care delivery networks and advance equitable HF care and outcomes. This work is supported by R01HL167816 from the National Heart\, Lung\, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health.\n\nLearning Objectives\nThis seminar aims to provide attendees with the ability to:\n\nDescribe how SRD shapes disparities in heart failure care delivery and outcomes.\nDescribe how provider networks influence access\, coordination\, and quality of heart failure care.\nIntegrate qualitative and quantitative findings to design interventions addressing heart failure disparities.\nAgenda\n2:00 - 2:15pm | Introduction and Project’s Objectives and Scope\n\n2:15 - 2:30pm | Structural Racism and Discrimination (SRD) in HF Care\n\n2:30 - 2:45pm | The Role of Care Delivery Networks\n\n2:45 - 3:00pm | Applying Mixed Methods Insights to Equity Strategies

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: Bridging Water Quality Human Dimensions Research and Practice
DESCRIPTION:The municipalities within the Great Bay Watershed vary in size and their capacity to address watershed management and infrastructure issues related to water quality\, creating a need to strengthen connections across social science research and its applications to outreach\, education\, technical assistance\, and engagement. As local social science studies emerged that could inform new and existing community engagement\, outreach\, and education programs in the watershed\, practitioners – including training and education staff at Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and partners working on outreach\, engagement\, and education related to water quality –  asked for help identifying\, interpreting\, and applying this research.\n\nTo help address this management need\, a science transfer project team worked to gather\, categorize\, and summarize available relevant human dimensions research and explore the findings through workshops and interactive peer learning sessions that brought together researchers and practitioners to discuss the practical implications of the research as well as build capacity to interpret existing and design new research.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Homo juluensis: A Pan-Eastern Asian Middle Pleistocene Hominin
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/w9kqG.\n\nMiddle Pleistocene (~780\,000-~127\,000 years BP) fossils that cannot be easily assigned to Homo erectus\, H. neanderthalensis\, or H. sapiens have traditionally been lumped into a generic category like “archaic H. sapiens” (or H. heidelbergensis). How to classify these fossils has been the subject of intense debate over the past several decades\, a debate that is sometimes referred to simply as “The Muddle in the Middle.\" What is becoming increasingly clear is that multiple species of hominins were present across Eurasia and Africa during this time period. Here\, Bae will introduce Homo juluensis\, a new species of hominin that was present across eastern Asia that appeared as far north as southern Siberia\, as far south as Laos\, and even present in high altitudes (Qinghai-Tibet). In addition\, gaps in the paleoanthropological record (e.g.\, North Korea) will also be discussed as there is a good chance different types of hominins\, including H. juluensis\, were present in the region.\n   \nChristopher J. Bae is a professor of anthropology at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. Bae has spent the past three decades researching the paleoanthropological record of eastern Asia\, particularly Korea\, China\, and Japan. He takes a multidisciplinary approach to his research working closely with paleontologists\, archaeologists\, geochronologists\, and paleoclimatologists. Bae is the recipient of the University of Hawaii Board of Regents’ Research Excellence Award and his research was recently acknowledged as one of the top ten University of Hawaii at Manoa stories for 2024.\n\nArticle related to this talk: https://myumi.ch/n1gG3\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Ethan Xingyuan Fang\, Associate Professor\, Department of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics\, Duke University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: We present a unified offline decision-making framework. In the first part\, we consider a class of assortment optimization problems in an offline data-driven setting. A firm does not know the underlying customer choice model but has access to an offline dataset consisting of the historically offered assortment set\, customer choice\, and revenue. The objective is to use the offline dataset to find an optimal assortment. Due to the combinatorial nature of assortment optimization\, the problem of insufficient data coverage is likely to occur in the offline dataset. Therefore\, designing a provably efficient offline learning algorithm becomes a significant challenge. To this end\, we propose an algorithm referred to as Pessimistic ASsortment opTimizAtion (PASTA) following the spirit of pessimism. We show that the algorithm identifies the optimal assortment by only requiring the offline data to cover the optimal assortment under general settings. In particular\, we establish a regret bound for the offline assortment optimization problem under the celebrated multinomial logit model and its generalizations\, where the regret is shown to be minimax optimal. We will also discuss other novel combinatorial uncertainty quantification problems of assortment optimization.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Picturing Jews: An Interactive Photobook Workshop
DESCRIPTION:For many\, the best-known photobook about the Jewish experience is Roman Vishniac’s \"A Vanished World\" (1983) – a melancholic document of Jewish life in Poland before the Holocaust. Yet countless photographers turned to the medium of the photobook after World War II to capture vibrant Jewish life as well as to document Jewish communities they felt were on the brink of extinction. In this interactive workshop\, participants will examine a range of photo books and discuss them on the level of form (image selection\, sequencing\, layout)\, content\, and materiality. As we consider the legacies of Vishniac’s paradigm of “vanishing Jews\,” we will also explore what alternative questions photobooks raise about picturing Jews in the 20th-century diaspora.\n\nSpace is limited\; please RSVP to secure your spot here: https://myumi.ch/z93My

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Analysis Seminar: PDE-constrained optimization for slip-driven microswimmers of arbitrary shape
DESCRIPTION:The squirmer model is used to model the swimming of microorganisms with hair-like structures known as cilia on their surface. The model uses a slip velocity defined on the swimmer surface to represent the collective motion of the cilia\, resulting in a Dirichlet boundary value problem for the Stokes equations. We use the Helmholtz decomposition to define the slip velocity in terms of tangential basis functions on a surface of arbitrary shape. The reciprocal theorem (Green’s second identity for the Stokes equations) can be used to determine the translational and rotational velocities of the swimmer from a prescribed slip velocity – closed-form expressions for these quantities can be obtained for a spheroidal squirmer. \n\nWe then explore an inverse problem – given an arbitrary swimmer shape of spherical topology\, which slip profile minimizes power loss? While the space of tangential slip velocity fields is infinite-dimensional\, this optimization problem can be reduced to six dimensions. The problem consists of two nested optimizations – a partial minimization in which the direction of net motion of the swimmer is prescribed\, followed by a global optimization procedure in which the best net motion direction is determined. We develop a solution algorithm for this optimization problem that involves only 12 auxiliary flow problems which can be solved numerically using boundary integral methods. The optimization results suggest that the competition between linear and rotational optimal motion is linked to symmetries in the swimmer shape.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Alternative Breaks: Getting the Most From Your Trip-Based Community Engagement Experience
DESCRIPTION:Are you planning or participating in an alternative break program? Trip-based service experiences can be transformative for students and a crucial component of sustainability for community-based organizations that rely on volunteers to advance their mission. Join the Ginsberg Center for a workshop that covers everything you need to know to get the most from your alternative break experience. From the nuts and bolts of planning and preparing\, to the big-picture questions of how to engage ethically and equitably with the communities you serve\, this workshop is for you – whether you are leading a trip\, participating in a trip\, or thinking about whether to get involved with a trip-based service experience in the future. Participants will leave with a better understanding of how to make these trips successful\, and the university resources available to help you get there (literally and figuratively). \n\nFor students who are:\n\nPart of a class or organization that is planning a trip-based service activity or similar “alternative break” experience \n\nLooking for activities to do when classes are not in session (e.g. winter\, spring\, and summer breaks)\n\nExploring ways to engage with communities \n\nTrying to choose extracurricular activities

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:Presentation:Leveraging 3D Geometry for Place Recognition and Image Restoration in Visual and Thermal SLAM
DESCRIPTION:Committee Chair:  Katherine Skinner\n\nAbstract:\nSimultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is the task of progressively mapping a sensor platform's surroundings\, while also tracking its pose (position and orientation) within it. SLAM enables robot navigation in unseen\, unstructured\, and GPS-denied environments and supports virtual and augmented reality applications without requiring external sensors or fiducials. Due to the low cost\, weight\, and power consumption\, small size\, and high spatial resolution of visible spectrum cameras\, visual SLAM is especially well-studied. However\, visual SLAM is challenged by image degradation arising from poor illumination and visual obscurants such as rain\, fog\, snow\, dust\, and smoke. Thermal cameras offer an alternative that can operate in complete darkness and see through the aforementioned visual obscurants\, but only relatively low quality uncooled microbolometer thermal cameras are practical in most applications. Due to the physics of microbolometer image formation\, SLAM with these cameras must often contend with significant motion blur\, rolling shutter distortions\, and noise. Additionally\, all forms of SLAM are fundamentally susceptible to pose drift\, which is error accumulated by concatenating relative pose estimates. The problems of pose drift and image degradation can be mitigated with place recognition and image restoration. In recent years\, both tasks are commonly performed with end-to-end deep learning approaches that process only one image or a small set of images at a time. However\, these methods fail to exploit the full extent of information available in the context of SLAM and are limited in their ability to generalize to scenarios unrepresented in their training data.\n\nThis thesis introduces techniques for place recognition and image restoration that leverage 3D geometry that is either freely available as a byproduct of SLAM or can be jointly estimated. By utilizing estimated 3D geometry\, these methods implicitly exploit wide baseline multi-view information and\, if available\, data from multiple sensors. First\, an autonomous vehicle dataset is introduced featuring challenging conditions\, including adverse illumination and opposing viewpoints\, captured by stereo RGB\, monochrome\, event\, and thermal cameras. Next\, a place recognition algorithm for similar and opposing viewpoints is introduced that forms descriptors from point clouds estimated through stereo visual odometry. The approach is evaluated on the new dataset and achieves high performance in many conditions\, except poorly lit areas at night where the surrounding structure cannot be perceived. This highlights a potential use case for thermal SLAM. Then\, towards robust thermal SLAM\, an approach for thermal image restoration is proposed that incorporates the unique image formation model of microbolometer thermal cameras with Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs). Finally\, the rendering pipeline introduced for thermal image restoration is adapted to 3D Gaussian Splatting and integrated into a thermal-inertial SLAM system uniquely capable of operating under severe thermal image degradation. Overall\, the methods proposed in this thesis demonstrate the potential of leveraging 3D geometry in all components of a SLAM system and contribute to making SLAM reliable in challenging conditions and large-scale environments.\n\nZoom passcode: slam

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: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:HET Brown Bag Seminar |  Supermassive Black Holes\, Dark Matter\, and the Relativistic Instability.
DESCRIPTION:The gravothermal core collapse of self-interacting dark matter halos provides a compelling mechanism for seeding supermassive black holes in the early Universe. In this scenario\, a small fraction of a halo\, approximately 1% of its mass\, collapses into a dense core\, which could further evolve into a black hole. In addition\, I describe how the relativistic onset of dynamical instability can be diagnosed by exploiting Chandrasekhar’s criterion in both classical and quantum gases. Finally\, I highlight the crucial role of space dimensionality and cosmological constant regarding the general-relativistic instability.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Integrated Product Development: Online Product Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Fall 2025 IPD Online Product Launch runs from December 2 at 12 p.m. through December 5 at 12 p.m. During this time\, members of the public are invited to explore a virtual marketplace by visiting the IPD Voting Website. Each participant is given a hypothetical budget to allocate across products based on personal preferences. \nThe challenge concludes with an in-person Product Launch on December 8\, from 5:30–7:30 p.m.\, in the Ross School of Business Winter Garden. Guests will have the opportunity to interact directly with student teams\, experience the products in person\, and vote for their favorites. The evening will culminate with the announcement of the winning team.\n\nTHE CHALLENGE\nThis year’s theme\, “Material Matters\,” asks students to design products that weave sustainability into outdoor products and experiences. Student teams employ sustainably-oriented textiles in physical\, digital\, or hybrid “phygital” products that support engagement with the outdoors – from balconies to backyards to ballparks to beaches to bayous and beyond.\n\nTHE COURSE\nThe University of Michigan’s Integrated Product Design (IPD) program brings together interdisciplinary teams of students from business\, engineering\, information\, and design. Students collaborate in cross-functional teams to operate as independent companies competing in a specific product market.\n\nEach semester\, IPD focuses on a unique design challenge\, and asks teams to operate as independent firms competing in that market. The curriculum combines lectures with hands-on work\, guiding teams through critical stages such as customer discovery\, concept generation\, technical development\, production planning\, pricing\, and marketing.\nThe IPD Challenge is more than a classroom project. It’s a hands-on experience that pushes students to create solutions that could shape industries. By integrating business strategy with technical feasibility and user-centered design\, the competition mirrors the real-world product development process. Students don’t just build prototypes—they develop go-to-market strategies and refine their concepts based on real feedback.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | What do Fusion Technology\, Physical Vapor Deposition and EUV Lithography Have in Common?
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nSo what do fusion technology\, physical vapor deposition and EUV lithography have in common? The answer is\, “plasma-material interactions” (PMI) and in particular\, sputtering. The key to a fusion energy device delivering energy is getting out the heat without destroying the walls. Afterall you are putting the sun in a metal can and should expect a similar heat flux! How that plasma interacts with the surfaces is paramount. We developed a way to use flowing molten lithium as the plasma facing component. To create thin films for microelectronics\, magnetron sputtering is the most common form of physical vapor deposition. We developed a new system for magnetron sputtering which reverses the potential on the target allowing detailed control of the ion energy reaching the material to be coated. Finally\, in EUV lithography the primary factor limiting the power is “tin management”. To make 13.5 nm EUV light\, 30-μm-diameter molten Sn droplets are hit by a laser at up to 80\,000 times per second. The Sn vaporizes and becomes a dense warm plasma which emits EUV light. The tin ends up everywhere including on the Bragg-reflector mirrors. Removing the tin without damaging the mirrors is a delicate balance of PMI. We developed surface-wave-plasma sources which produce hydrogen radicals and a locally higher ion density which turns the Sn to SnH4 which is pumped away. This talk will hit the highlights in each of these areas and show how they are all being used in industry.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDavid Neil Ruzic is an Emeritus Professor in the Department of Nuclear\, Plasma and Radiological Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a Fellow in four societies and has been awarded the Gaede-Langmuir award from AVS (2020) and the Fusion Technology Prize from IEEE (2020)\, the University of Michigan Plasma Prize (2024) and the International Award in Technology from IVSTA (2025).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Holding the Universe up to a Mirror: The Importance of Analytic Covariance Matrices
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, there has been much interest in the use of higher-order spatial clustering statistics\, such as N-Point Correlation Functions (NPCFs)\, to extract cosmological information from the large-scale distribution of galaxies. An NPCF characterizes the excess over random in the spatial clustering of sets of N galaxies at a time. When performing an analysis with NPCFs\, one must obtain the inverse covariance matrix to constrain the measurements made. The covariance matrix is typically computed purely from mock galaxy catalogs\; however\, for analyses with a large number of degrees of freedom\, one cannot directly estimate an invertible covariance matrix this way. To better understand the structure of the covariance matrix and pave the way for estimation of it in future analyses\, we seek a fully analytic covariance matrix template. I will present a closed-form solution for the covariance matrix of the 2PCF\, as well as closed-form solutions for the fundamental building blocks of the covariance matrices of the 3PCF\, 4PCF\, and beyond. I will then demonstrate how these analytic results may be applied to studies of parity violation in large-scale structure\, where there is growing concern that recent detections of parity violation are artifacts of misestimating the covariance matrix. As a robust detection of parity violation will significantly influence the direction of research into the inflationary epoch\, it is crucial to ensure that accurate covariance matrices are used in such analyses.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Labor and Product Market Power\, Endogenous Quality\, and the Consolidation of the US Hospital Industry
DESCRIPTION:Existing structural analyses of the harmful effects of market consolidation focus on either product or labor markets in isolation\, ignoring that product market competitors often compete for workers as well. This paper develops a unified framework for merger evaluation\, finding that firms’ simultaneous exercise of oligopoly power in the product market and oligopsony power in the labor market amplifies the harm from mergers to both consumers and workers. The model also demonstrates how merger-induced gains in labor market power incentivize firms to reduce product quality\, highlighting an additional channel for consumer harm. The model’s predictions are tested and quantified in the context of the recent consolidation of the US hospital industry. Linking panel data from several sources on all US hospitals from 1996- 2022\, a difference-in-differences design is estimated for nearly 150 high-concentration within market mergers. Hospital mergers significantly reduce patient volume\, increase prices\, reduce employment\, lower wages\, and deteriorate quality of care\, resulting in higher patient mortality. After recovering the structural parameters\, the estimated model replicates observed merger impacts. Counterfactual exercises reveal that ignoring increased labor (product) concentration would lead one to under-predict the harm of mergers to consumers (workers).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | The secret life of gels
DESCRIPTION:Many materials we eat\, spread\, squeeze\, or 3D print are gels\, soft amorphous solids whose solid component comprises self-assembled networks of particles\, fibers\, or agglomerates of proteins\, polymers\, and colloids. The space between and within human cells is permeated by self-assembled gel networks\, the extra-cellular matrix and the cytoskeleton\, whose self- organization and heterogeneity is central to biological functions. Self-assembled gels have adaptive\, tunable\, and nonlinear rheology determined by a complex interplay between the molecular cohesion and surface interactions\, the aggregation kinetics that drive formation of various types of structures\, and the effect of external forces that can promote breaking or reforming of the load-bearing backbone. Solidification processes are typically sources of frozen-in stresses and help build a memory of the processing history in these amorphous solids. Disorder and self-organization determine stress localization under load and the feedback between stress heterogeneities\, structural disorder\, and nonequilibrium conditions is therefore key to the mechanical response of these fascinating and ubiquitous materials.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Intersection theory of Noether-Lefschetz cycles on A_g
DESCRIPTION:Abelian varieties with elliptic subgroups provide cycles on the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties. Even though the cycles are in general non-tautological\, the relations between them has a very rich structure\, conjecturally governed by modular forms. I will explain this conjecture\, what we can prove about it\, and its relation with the moduli space of curves and Gromov-Witten theory. If time permits\, I will explain possible extensions of these results to the boundary.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Optimal Transport and Informed Trading
DESCRIPTION:We investigate applications of optimal transport theory to Kyle–Back models. First\, we introduce a general methodology for constructing Kyle–Back equilibria from an optimal transport problem between the insider’s private signal and the market maker’s filtered beliefs. Using Monge–Kantorovich duality and backward stochastic partial differential equations (BSPDEs)\, we characterize equilibrium prices and trading strategies through Kantorovich potentials and transport maps\, providing a unified framework that encompasses nearly all known continuous-time Kyle–Back models\, including those with dynamic information and activist trading. Our second project develops a variational formulation of the Kyle model that accommodates stochastic and multidimensional liquidity. The equilibrium is reinterpreted as an optimal liquidation of information\, where the insider’s control variable is the rate of information release rather than inventory. This formulation links market microstructure to optimal execution and clarifies the dual role of the adjoint process identified by Collin-Dufresne and Fos (2016) as the co-state variable in the stochastic maximum principle.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG Geometry\, Topology and Dynamics:   Measure classification via geometric group theory
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we discuss geometric group theoretic approaches to classifying invariant Radon measures on various dynamical systems arising from Teichmüller dynamics and homogeneous dynamics.\n\nFirst\, given a non-elementary subgroup of the mapping class group of a hyperbolic surface\, we construct an invariant Radon measure on the space of measured laminations and prove that any ergodic invariant Radon measure on the recurrent measured laminations coincides with this measure. As a special case\, we deduce that for a convex cocompact subgroup\, any ergodic invariant Radon measure is either the unique one supported on the recurrent measured laminations\, or a counting measure on the orbit of a non-recurrent measured lamination. When the subgroup is the full mapping class group\, this measure is the Thurston measure\, and in this case the uniqueness on recurrent measured laminations was independently proved by Lindenstrauss--Mirzakhani and Hamenstädt.\n\nNext\, we classify all horospherical-invariant Radon measures on higher-rank Anosov and relatively Anosov homogeneous spaces. These results are joint work with Inhyeok Choi.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Search for My Origins: Dinner and Conversation for Korean Adoptees with Dr. Christopher Bae
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Nam Center for Korean Studies warmly invites Korean adoptees in Michigan and surrounding areas to a special dinner event featuring Dr. Christopher Bae—a Korean adoptee and distinguished anthropologist. Dr. Bae will share his personal journey and engage in conversation with attendees over dinner. Please see his invitation message below:\n   \n   Message from Christopher J. Bae\, Ph.D. : Search For My Origins\n   \"As an adoptee from Korea I share a similar “discovery” story as many other adoptees\, where I was found with no records\, brought to an orphanage\, and then adopted by a white American family through one of the large international adoption agencies. Growing up in New York in a white family and neighborhood\, I became interested in my Korean roots a little bit from an early age but especially when I got to college and made my first Korean friends and ate my first Korean food. This experience from my undergraduate days led me to go to Korea on an exchange program to learn Korean language and culture firsthand. I eventually earned degrees in anthropology\, with a focus on paleoanthropology (human evolutionary studies)\, particularly in East Asia. I think in part because of my search for my own origins\, I was drawn to paleoanthropology where I study human origins on a broader scale. Here I talk a bit about my story\, while raising questions that every adoptee faces at some point in their lives.\"\n   \n   About Dr. Christopher Bae:\n   Christopher J. Bae is a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Bae specializes in paleoanthropology (human evolutionary studies)\, with a particular focus in looking at human origins. Bae received a BA degree from SUNY at Stony Brook\, an MA from the University of Arizona\, and a Ph.D. from Rutgers University. He has conducted research widely across Korea\, China\, and Japan and published extensively about his research findings\, including his recent book (The Paleoanthropology of Eastern Asia\, University of Hawaii Press\, 2024).\n   \n   Please RSVP by: Nov. 14\, 2025\n   RSVP form: https://forms.gle/tzmAEET9B49exdNs6\n   \n   This event is open to Korean adoptees only\, and free of charge for all registered attendees.\n   \n   Event program:\n   6:00 - 6:05 pm: Welcoming remark\n   6:05 - 6:40 pm : Dr. Bae’s talk - “Search for My Origins” (~30 minutes)\n   6:40 - 8:00 pm : Conversation with Dr. Bae over catered dinner featuring Korean food\n   \n   Parking: The nearest paid parking structure is Forest St. City Public Parking (650 S. Forest St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48104 / rate: $1.65 per hour / approximately a 10-minute walk to the event venue). Street meter parking is free after 6:00 p.m.\n   \n   Please note: This RSVP form will close once we reach capacity (about 30 attendees)\, potentially before the deadline.\n   \n   ❓ For questions\, please contact Minyoung Song (mysong@umich.edu) at the U-M Nam Center for Korean Studies.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at mysong@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Klezmatics
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating 40 years!\n\nThe Klezmatics are the only Grammy Award-winning klezmer band and one of the most iconic and adventurous groups in modern Jewish music. Since emerging from New York City’s East Village in 1986\, they have led a global revival of klezmer\, combining centuries-old Yiddish tradition with radical contemporary sensibilities.\n\nFor nearly four decades\, The Klezmatics have brought their unique sound to audiences around the world—blending klezmer with jazz\, gospel\, punk\, classical\, Latin\, and Balkan styles. Their music is rooted in Eastern European Jewish tradition but embraces a progressive worldview\, tackling themes like human rights\, antifundamentalism\, diaspora\, and cultural resistance.\n\nTheir impact is unmistakable. The Klezmatics are the only klezmer band to win a Grammy Award (Best Contemporary World Music Album for Wonder Wheel: Lyrics by Woody Guthrie). They have released 13 acclaimed albums\, topped the Billboard World Music Chart\, and received multiple international honors\, including the German Critics Award and the New York Jewish Music Award.

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:Quantum Research Institute | New insights into system–bath interaction models for quantum ground- and thermal-state preparation
DESCRIPTION:In-person: Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project\, 2301 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109\, USA. Room PML2000\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/92778807694?jst=2\n\nAbstract:\nQuantum thermal-state and ground-state preparation are one of the fundamental algorithmic primitives with broad applications in quantum many-body physics\, quantum chemistry\, and materials science. In this talk\, I will introduce dissipative quantum algorithms for preparing the thermal or ground state of a given physical or chemical Hamiltonian. I will begin with an overview of a popular approach that has gained significant traction in recent years\, based on Lindblad dynamics. I will then present a more recent but implementation friendly framework for thermal and ground-state preparation rooted in system–bath interaction models. I will discuss a recently developed algorithm that comes with rigorous complexity guarantees\, along with new results that extend our theoretical understanding of system–bath interaction beyond what was previously known.\n\nBio:\nZhiyan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Before joining Michigan\, Zhiyan was a Morrey Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California\, Berkeley\, hosted by Prof. Lin Lin.

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:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Recrafting Closeness in Death: Relational Proxies for Future Japan/ese
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 555\, Weiser Hall\, and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/jJNP2\n   \n   Japan is often called a “relationless society” (*muenshakai*). No longer tethered to the “thick bonds” of workplace\, village\, and home\, Japanese are losing forms of connectedness (en) that once ensured social reproduction as well. In these post-growth times\, alongside a high-aging population and declining marital and childbirth rates\, singlehood is on the rise as are aging seniors “without anyone to depend upon” (*miyori ga nai*). In the face of spiraling all-aloneness\, there is deep-seated distress over the state of “Japanese sociality” in an era “lacking family” (*naki jidai*). But emerging as well is an avalanche of new designs and relational proxies\, stand-ins or replacements for what once constituted human bonds: virtual characters\, techno-companions\, rental spouses\, care robots\, and pets. The talk essay considers such relational stand-ins not for the living but for the dead. Targeting social singles at risk of dying lonely deaths and remaining dislocated souls (*muenbotoke*) after that\, a wealth of new products\, services\, and apparati promises “relationality” post-death. What kind of sociality is envisioned here\; is it modeled upon or transgressive of the familial form\, and (how) do these new notions of self/other-hood portend a future for Japan/ese?\n   \n   Anne Allison is a professor of cultural anthropology at Duke University. Her research on contemporary issues in Japan spans nightlife\, popular culture\, Pokémon\, sexuality\, gender\, precarity\, and death. She is the author of *Nightwork\, Millennial Monsters\, Precarious Japan\,* and\, most recently\, *Being Dead Otherwise*—the winner of the John Whitney Hall Book Award for 2025.\n   \n   This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Matthew Hoffman
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: Understanding the transport and fate of plastic pollution is crucial for modeling the exposure risk for different ecosystems and organisms. I will discuss efforts to model the transport of plastic pollution in the Great Lakes using NOAA’s operational hydrodynamics models and custom built transport code to simulate changing particle properties. The models allow for advection\, turbulent mixing in the vertical\, density driven sinking\, beaching\, deposition\, and biofouling of particles. The transport model relies on accurant hydrodynamic fields\, so I will also describe initial efforts to perform data assimilation on the NOAA model output using a Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (LETKF) approach on the FVCOM model of Lake Erie. We test the LETKF using simulated observations of surface temperature and vertical profiles of temperature.\n\nAbout the speaker: Matthew J. Hoffman is a Professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Dr. Hoffman received the B.A. degree in Mathematics and Astrophysics from Williams College\, Williamstown\, MA\, USA and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computation from the University of Maryland\, College Park\, MD\, USA. He was a post-doctoral fellow in the Earth and Planetary Science Department at Johns Hopkins University\, Baltimore\, MD\, USA \, where he worked on data assimilation for the Chesapeake Bay. Since moving to RIT\, he has shifted his focus to the Great Lakes\, including some work on data assimilation on the NOAA forecast model for Lake Erie. Over the past decade\, his work has focused on modeling the input\, transport\, and fate of plastic pollution in fresh water\, including the Great Lakes.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Integrated Product Development: Online Product Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Fall 2025 IPD Online Product Launch runs from December 2 at 12 p.m. through December 5 at 12 p.m. During this time\, members of the public are invited to explore a virtual marketplace by visiting the IPD Voting Website. Each participant is given a hypothetical budget to allocate across products based on personal preferences. \nThe challenge concludes with an in-person Product Launch on December 8\, from 5:30–7:30 p.m.\, in the Ross School of Business Winter Garden. Guests will have the opportunity to interact directly with student teams\, experience the products in person\, and vote for their favorites. The evening will culminate with the announcement of the winning team.\n\nTHE CHALLENGE\nThis year’s theme\, “Material Matters\,” asks students to design products that weave sustainability into outdoor products and experiences. Student teams employ sustainably-oriented textiles in physical\, digital\, or hybrid “phygital” products that support engagement with the outdoors – from balconies to backyards to ballparks to beaches to bayous and beyond.\n\nTHE COURSE\nThe University of Michigan’s Integrated Product Design (IPD) program brings together interdisciplinary teams of students from business\, engineering\, information\, and design. Students collaborate in cross-functional teams to operate as independent companies competing in a specific product market.\n\nEach semester\, IPD focuses on a unique design challenge\, and asks teams to operate as independent firms competing in that market. The curriculum combines lectures with hands-on work\, guiding teams through critical stages such as customer discovery\, concept generation\, technical development\, production planning\, pricing\, and marketing.\nThe IPD Challenge is more than a classroom project. It’s a hands-on experience that pushes students to create solutions that could shape industries. By integrating business strategy with technical feasibility and user-centered design\, the competition mirrors the real-world product development process. Students don’t just build prototypes—they develop go-to-market strategies and refine their concepts based on real feedback.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Let’s Talk About Herpes: What Chronic Viruses Reveal About Our Lives
DESCRIPTION:Watch a 90-second preview of this talk at https://myumi.ch/E8ZbN \n\nHerpesviruses are among the most common infections on the planet—quietly persisting in our bodies for decades. Yet beyond their biological intrigue\, these viruses reveal something profound about how our social worlds shape health and aging. This talk will explore how chronic viral infections—like cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex—act as biological “archives” of our life experiences. Drawing on population research in social epidemiology\, infectious disease\, and immuno-epidemiology\, Dr. Grace Noppert will show how persistent viruses illuminate the links between early-life environments\, social inequality\, and immune aging. Together\, they reveal how our immune systems record the social conditions we live through—and what that means for understanding health and aging across the life course.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Heather Kulik\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:A reception with light refreshments will be held in the B10 lobby before each seminar from 1-1:30 p.m.\n\nAbstract: Machine learning in transition metal catalysis is more challenging than other areas of chemistry due to the combination of diversity of chemical bonding and limitations in high quality data sets\, experimental or computational. I will describe our efforts to overcome these limitations to accelerate the discovery of novel transition metal containing materials using machine learning. I will discuss how we have leveraged experimental data sets through both text mining and semantic embedding to uncover relationships between structure and function\, disseminating high quality datasets of transition metal complexes with known function. I will describe how we've used these data sets to build machine learning models that predict the structure of transition metal complexes. Then I will describe how we have leveraged large datasets of synthesized materials to uncover those with novel function in polymer networks. I will demonstrate the success of our design strategy through macroscopically visible changes in network scale properties of polymers once our transition metal complexes are incorporated. Finally\, I will conclude with some outstanding challenges for the field.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Active Inference for Human Factors Research: Modeling Cognition\, Trust\, and Decision-Making in Automated Systems
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Anthony D. (Tony) McDonald\, Associate Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and Director of the Human Factors and Machine Learning Lab\, for a seminar introducing active inference theory and its applications in transportation safety and human–automation interaction. Dr. McDonald will discuss how active inference—a computational framework for understanding human cognition and behavior—can model\, predict\, and interpret human decision-making in complex environments. Through four modeling applications\, he will demonstrate how active inference compares to deep reinforcement learning\, connects driving behaviors to underlying cognitive values\, and provides a principled way to estimate constructs such as trust and situation awareness. Together\, these insights illustrate the potential of active inference to bridge human factors and machine learning\, guiding future research and practice in human-centered autonomy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Developing a novel in-silico tool for heterochiral macrocycle design\nAbstract:\nAntibodies and small molecules have been powerful tools in targeting disease-related proteins. However\, there remain many challenging targets—such as flat or featureless intracellular surfaces—that are often inaccessible to these modalities. This is where peptides come in. Peptides are particularly exciting because they can be synthesized via solid-phase methods\, penetrate cells\, and bind to flat protein interfaces that are otherwise undruggable. Despite this promise\, designing effective peptides has remained a significant challenge. In our lab\, we’re developing new computational and experimental tools to overcome these limitations. Today\, I’ll be talking about CyclicCEA and CyclicMPNN\, two current methods for rapid generation of Gly or Ala cycles. If time permits\, I will also talk about their use as a binder design.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Electrified pathways to carbon valorization into sustainable fuels and chemicals
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nUnderstanding and advancing the carbon-energy-water nexus is critical for a sustainable energy future and solving many related environmental issues we face today. Due to the rapid decrease in the cost of renewable energy\, it is now practical to design new electrified carbon conversion systems that use renewable electrons to drive the molecular transformation of CO2 and other waste feedstock (wastewater\, food waste\, biomass) into high-value fuels and chemicals while also recovering important resources such as water\, nutrients\, and energy. These new green technologies can help displace fossil fuels in various sectors and redirect resource flows within a new circular carbon economy. This presentation will discuss opportunities to leverage cutting-edge electrochemical and biohybrid technologies in environmental and chemical applications\, including water and CO2 electrolysis\, sustainable chemical manufacturing\, bioproduct and biofuel synthesis\, and food waste valorization. Lab-scale experiments have demonstrated competitive production rates\, titer\, and energy efficiencies. Efforts towards improving reactor scalability\, expanding the portfolio of products\, and integrating new types of waste streams are ongoing.\n\nBiography:\nJoshua Jack is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. His research focuses on developing electrified approaches to molecular synthesis and resource recovery. Specifically\, his lab focuses on using renewable electricity to convert abundant small molecules and waste feedstocks into valuable chemicals and materials that can address emerging challenges in energy storage\, environmental remediation\, and circular manufacturing. Joshua previously served as a postdoctoral research scholar in the Andlinger Center for Energy and Environment at Princeton University and holds a doctoral degree from the University of Colorado\, Boulder. During his graduate studies\, Joshua obtained extensive interdisciplinary research experience at both the DOE- National Renewable Energy Laboratory and NASA Langley Research Center. Please see Prof. Jack’s departmental profile for more details.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"JWST Reveals the Atmospheres of Sub-Neptune Exoplanets\"\n\nSub-Neptunes are planets smaller than Neptune with thick\, gaseous atmospheres. They are the most common type of planet in our galaxy\, despite not having a solar system analog.  Prior to the JWST mission\, the study of sub-Neptune atmospheres was typically thwarted by low signal-to-noise measurements due to the small size of these planets\, and pervasive cloud layers that prevented detailed measurement of atmospheric properties.  JWST\, with its large aperture and broad IR wavelength coverage\, promised to finally open the door to the characterization of planets smaller than Neptune\, and it has delivered.  I will present some of the first JWST observations of sub-Neptune exoplanets along with the interpretation of those intriguing measurements.  We have begun to address key questions about the nature of sub-Neptune aerosols (clouds or haze) and the chemical composition of their atmospheres\, yet many outstanding questions remain.  I will outline future prospects for the study of sub-Neptunes with JWST and what we still hope to learn about their formation and evolution\, and the physical and chemical processes that govern their atmospheres.  I will conclude with some thoughts on how we can leverage population-level studies of sub-Neptune atmospheres with JWST to address these important topics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry seminar: Hyperplane complements and non-positive curvature of cell complexes
DESCRIPTION:A (complex) hyperplane arrangement is a finite collection of hyperplanes in C^n. Since these hyperplanes are complex codimension 1 (and thus real codimension 2)\, the complement in C^n of the union of the hyperplanes is a connected manifold. It is a broad\, longstanding problem with many connections to different areas of mathematics to determine the arrangements for which this space is aspherical (has contractible universal cover). A subset of this problem\, commonly attributed to Arnol’d\, Brieskorn\, Thom\, and Pham\, concerns arrangements arising from reflection groups in R^n. For these arrangements\, one approach is to study a certain cell complex which is homotopy equivalent to the complement and carries a natural (singular) metric\, which is conjectured by Charney and Davis to be non-positively curved. This approach is deceivingly hard and has seen very little progress since it was proposed in 1995. I will discuss joint work with Amy Herron showing that this complex is indeed non-positively curved for a class of reflection arrangements\, and more generally\, 3-dimensional cell complexes which satisfy a strictly combinatorial condition.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FAST Lecture | Tiny\, Shiny\, and Clear: Capturing Impossible Artifacts in 3D
DESCRIPTION:This talk presents an update on 3D modeling at the Kelsey Museum. Many of the Kelsey’s artifacts are difficult to capture in 3D. Much of the collection is small\, from figurines and amulets all the way down to poppy seeds\, and many objects are shiny. Both characteristics present significant challenges to the methods archaeologists have traditionally used to create digital models\, which rely on cameras and reflected light. Even worse are glass objects and gemstones\, whose translucency defies these light-based methods. \n\nYet they are not impossible. This talk will introduce the advanced techniques we have adopted to deal with tiny and shiny artifacts\, the novel methods we are developing for capturing glass\, and the frameworks we have developed for archiving the massive amounts of data required by these techniques. It will also demonstrate the Kelsey’s multipronged\, innovative uses of digital modeling to communicate with the public\, such as publishing models online and bringing them into the galleries through digital animation\, 3D printing\, and augmented reality experiences.\n\nDr. Chris Motz is a Roman archaeologist and a specialist in digital technologies and methods. He received his PhD from the University of Cincinnati in 2021\, followed by stints teaching at Elon University and the University of Richmond\, before joining the Kelsey Museum in 2024. With regard to the ancient world\, most of his research centers on Roman industry and infrastructure and is rooted in analyses of complex datasets. This connects to his other primary focus: developing new and better ways to record\, analyze\, publish\, and preserve cultural heritage data\, with several published articles and chapters on digital field recording and excavation databases. In the field\, he serves as head of data for projects at the coastal Punic/Roman city of Tharros\, Sardinia\, and at Pompeii’s Porta Stabia neighborhood. At the Kelsey\, he oversees a wide range of digital efforts\, including the 3D capture project that is the subject of today’s talk.\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) Lectures are free and open to the public. This event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall. Light refreshments and food will be provided at 5:30 PM\, with the lecture starting at 6:00 PM.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.

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:Conference / Symposium:Perspectives on Contemporary Korea 2025 | One Year after the Martial Law Declaration: Democratic Backsliding and Resilience in Korea and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Participate in person or register to join online here: https://myumi.ch/2rpdJ\n\nThis conference marks the first anniversary of the unprecedented political upheaval triggered by President Yoon Seok Yeol’s declaration of martial law in South Korea. The event aims to critically reflect on the political and institutional causes and consequences of this crisis\, both within Korea and in a broader comparative perspective. In the wake of this extraordinary challenge to democratic norms around the world\, what have we learned about the vulnerabilities and the strength of democratic institutions from the experience of South Korea?\n   \n   By situating Korea within the global wave of democratic backsliding and bringing together scholars working on democratic backsliding from diverse cases and perspectives\, this workshop aims to generate new insights into institutional guardrails\, civic mobilization\, elite behavior\, and international influence. It will also examine how Korea’s political trajectory over the past year informs debates about the durability of democracy in both established and emerging democratic regimes.\n   \n   Please see this webpage for more detailed information: https://myumi.ch/P3NzP\n\n*Co-sponsored by: Nam Center for Korean Studies\, Initiative for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Political Science\, Center for Emerging Democracies*\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:Identification and Estimation of Discrete Choice Demand Models when Observed and  Unobserved Characteristics are  Correlated
DESCRIPTION:The standard Berry\, Levinsohn\, and Pakes (1995) (BLP) approach to estimation of demand and supply parameters assumes that the product characteristic observed by consumers and producers but not the researcher is conditionally mean independent of observed characteristics. We extend BLP to allow all product characteristics to be endogenous\, so the unobserved characteristic can be correlated with the observed char- acteristics. We derive moment conditions based on the assumption that firms choose product characteristics to maximize expected profits given their beliefs at that time about market conditions and that the “mistake” in the amount of the characteristic that is revealed once all products are on the market is conditionally mean independent of the firm’s information set. Using the original BLP dataset we find that observed and unobserved product characteristics are highly positively correlated\, biasing demand elasticities upward\, as average estimated price elasticities double in absolute value and average markups fall by 50%.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Graduating Student Speaker: Shihao Wu\, PhD Candidate\, Department of Statistics\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Data that represent relations and interactions are ubiquitous in science\, engineering\, business\, and medicine. Traditional analytical methods for such data primarily focus on pairwise relations\; however\, real-world interactions often involve more than two entities and are inherently multi-way. In current practice\, these multi-way interactions are typically projected into pairwise relations before analysis\, which causes substantial information loss. Directly studying hypergraphs\, which naturally encode general multi-way interactions\, allows for more effective extraction of information from such relational data. In this talk\, I will discuss our development of generative models for hypergraphs. The first part introduces a general latent embedding framework that overcomes key limitations of existing hypergraph modeling methods. We establish identifiability of the latent embedding space and develop a likelihood-based estimator for the latent embeddings. We further derive consistency guarantees and asymptotic distributions for the parameter estimates\, enabling efficient inference from an observed hypergraph. Building on these results\, the second part of the talk introduces Denoising Diffused Embeddings (DDE)\, a generative architecture for hypergraphs that produces new hyperlinks not seen in the observed data. DDE connects discrete hyperlinks to a continuous latent space through a conditional hyperlink likelihood model\, and then reconstructs that space using a denoising diffusion process. Compared with existing generative models\, DDE is computationally efficient to train and sample from\, and it offers interpretability from the likelihood perspective. Our theoretical and empirical studies demonstrate its advantages as a general generative modeling framework. Together\, these results address core challenges in modeling multi-way interactions in relational data and illustrate how rigorous statistical modeling can contribute to building more efficient and trustworthy generative AI.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Risk Protection Value of Moral Hazard
DESCRIPTION:Health insurance lowers the out-of-pocket price of healthcare\, and it is well-established that this leads to higher utilization of care. This type of “moral hazard” is typically viewed as a social cost of insurance. Within a standard model\, we show that there are two important ways in which the consumer’s ability to change her behavior in response to insurance can play a central role in the ability of insurance to protect her from risk. These are (i) by allowing optimal exploitation of real income gained in bad states\, and (ii) by enabling more resources to be shifted from good states to bad states than otherwise could be. We provide a theoretical characterization of these cases and quantify their importance empirically. Under standard parameterizations of demand for healthcare and health insurance\, estimates in the literature imply that moral hazard accounts for as much as half of the total value of risk protection derived from insurance. Preventing consumers from changing their behavior in response to insurance would lower healthcare spending\, but also result in a major loss of risk protection\, on-net reducing social and consumer welfare in the population we study. Our results suggest that under-utilization of healthcare may thus be an equally important threat to welfare as over-utilization.

DESCRIPTION:The Department of Voice & Opera\, in conjunction with the University Musical Society\, is pleased to present four separate Master Classes\, Friday\, December 5\, 2025\, 10:30am-12:20pm at the Earl V. Moore Building.\n\nEach class will be led by a soloist from this year’s UMS presentation of Handel’s *Messiah*\, each working with four of our SMTD voice students. The master clinicians are Sherezade Panthaki\, soprano\; Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen\, counter-tenor\; Miles Mykkanen\, tenor\; and Enrico Lagasca\, bass-baritone.\n\nAll classes are open to the public to come and observe. Class locations are as follows:\n\nSherezade Panthaki\, soprano - McIntosh Theatre\nAryeh Nussbaum Cohen\, counter-tenor - Watkins Lecture Hall\nMiles Mykkanen\, tenor - Hankinson Rehearsal Hall\nEnrico Lagasca\, bass-baritone - Kevreson Rehearsal Hall\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nCountertenor ARYEH NUSSBAUM COHEN brings his “astonishingly beautiful\,” “golden toned” (*The Guardian*) instrument to a broad range of repertoire spanning the Baroque to the contemporary. Acclaimed as both a “young star” and “complete artist” by the *New York Times* and as “extravagantly gifted… poised to redefine what’s possible for singers of this distinctive voice type” by the *San Francisco Chronicle*\, Mr. Nussbaum Cohen’s passion for creating performances of great vocal beauty and dramatic intensity have earned him a reputation as “a redefining force in the countertenor field” (*Limelight*).\n\nMr. Nussbaum Cohen finds a close affinity between the ancient musical traditions of his Jewish heritage and the Baroque works composing much of his operatic repertoire. Equally invigorated performing new works\, Nussbaum Cohen’s first commercial recording project – the world premiere of Kenneth Fuchs’ *Poems of Life* performed with the London Symphony Orchestra under JoAnn Falletta – was honored with a GRAMMY® Award for Best Classical Compendium in 2019\; and his interpretation of the Refugee’s aria from Jonathan Dove’s *Flight* provided the centerpiece for his extensive catalogue of competition successes\, including winning the Grand Prize at the 2017 Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition\, top prizes in Houston Grand Opera’s Eleanor McCollum Competition and the Dallas Opera Guild Competition\, a George and Nora London Foundation Award\, the Richard Tucker Study Grant and Career Grant\, and in 2024\, top prize in the Gerda Lissner Foundation’s International Vocal Competition.

His “smooth\, dark bass voice” can be heard on six Grammy Award-nominated recordings.\n\nAmid the wide-ranging demands of his repertoire\, critics note Enrico’s larger-than-life presence. “Bass-baritone Enrico Lagasca summoned nearly as much volume as everyone else onstage put together.” Storytelling is at the center of his artistry. He has been described as having “an oratorio voice that strikes fear of God in the hearts of the audience.” His performance of St. Matthew’s Passion at Saint Thomas’s Church was described as “an outpouring of devotion and grief as elegant as it was moving.”\n\nSoloist highlights of recent seasons include Haydn’s *Lord Nelson Mass* with Voices of Ascension in New York\, Handel’s *Messiah* at Ann Arbor’s University Musical Society and at Carnegie Hall with Musica Sacra\, Bach’s *Christmas Oratorio* at Washington Bach Consort\, and Mendelssohn’s *Walpurgisnacht* with the St. Louis Symphony. Enrico has collaborated with conductors such as Riccardo Muti\, Zubin Mehta\, Pablo Heras-Casado\, Nicholas McGegan\, Jane Glover\, John Butt\, John Nelson\, Matthew Halls and Carl St. Clair.\n\nEnrico’s passion extends beyond performing. He is dedicated to advocacy for the Queer community and Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion. As a member of the Kaleidoscope Vocal Ensemble\, a musical group committed to diversity and social justice\, he participates in creative outreach programming for various communities with limited access to the arts. His performances of Craig Hella Johnson’s *Considering Matthew Shepard* reflect Enrico’s dedication to works that address the LGBTQ+ community.

He has since impressed with a series of important debuts on the world’s major stages\, including the Metropolitan Opera\, Bayerische Staatsoper\, Canadian Opera Company\, and Royal Opera House Covent Garden\, where *The i* declared his performance “the most beautiful singing of the evening” and *Opera Magazine* dubbed it “so striking and brilliant” that “he managed toturn the Steersman into a principal character.”\n\nIn a pivotal 25/26 season\, Mykkanen stars as Sam Clay in *The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay* for the Metropolitan Opera’s opening night gala and house premiere run\, conducted by Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Mykkanen returns to the house after this season as The Groom in the first Met production of Kaija Saariaho’s *Innocence*. Elsewhere\, he makes two dual house and role debuts: as Leukippos in Strauss rarity *Daphne* at Seattle Opera\, and as Tamino in Barrie Kosky’s silent film-inspired production of *The Magic Flute* at LA Opera. He also brings his flexible tenor to Beethoven’s Symphony No.9 with Cleveland Orchestra\, led by Franz Welser-Möst\, and to Handel’s *Messiah* with Chicago’s Music of the Baroque\, conducted by Dame Jane Glover\, and the University Musical Society in Ann Arbor. He marks his first appearance at the Maastricht Festival in the Netherlands as soloist in a unique *Carmina Burana* featuring acclaimed piano duo Lucas and Arthur Jussen\, among other appearances still to be announced.

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:IES Energy Seminar Series - Long-term Planning and Operations for the Electric Power Sector: Methods\, Applications\, and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe electric power sector is experiencing rapid changes and greater uncertainty than in many years. Electricity demand is projected to increase at a faster rate than previous decades due to electrification and data centers. Increasing wind and solar capacities and thermal generator retirements will likely increase short-term forecast errors and require greater system flexibility. Energy storage costs are decreasing rapidly\, and batteries are likely to play a larger role in system operations\, but questions remain about how much storage capacity will be deployed\, what duration they will offer\, and how to effectively manage a fleet of storage\, particularly in regions with wholesale markets. Finally\, increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events that disrupt system operations present reliability challenges because they induce greater spatial and temporal correlations in forced outage rates of system components.\n\nThis talk will overview several research projects on the planning and operations of power systems under uncertainty. The talk will present the problem of long-term generation and transmission planning under uncertainty\, including the range of methods used and recent improvements. The talk will also present the corresponding challenges to electricity markets from the changes in the resource mix\, including several recent research projects on this topic. Finally\, the talk will frame several remaining challenges for practical methods for both planning and for markets/operations under greater uncertainty\, and future research directions that arise from these challenges.\n\nBiography:\nMort Webster is a Professor of Energy Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University. His research develops methods for managing uncertainty for electric power systems planning\, operations\, and electricity market design\, with a focus on stochastic optimization methods. Current projects include the development of stochastic optimization methods for solving multi-stage adaptive expansion planning (generation and/or transmission)\, methods for managing large high-dimensional scenario space\, and real-time market designs to manage uncertainty and incentivize flexible resources. Prof. Webster has published numerous peer-reviewed articles in engineering\, operations research\, and economic journals\, and has served on several national and international panels. Prior to joining Penn State\, Prof. Webster was Assistant and Associate Professor of Engineering Systems at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2006-2013) and Assistant Professor of public policy in the Department of Public Policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2001-2006). He received a Ph.D. (2000) in Engineering Systems and a M.S. (1996) in Technology and Policy from MIT\, and a B.S.E. (1988) in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Friday Lecture Series | How Ethnic Rebellion Begins: Theory and Evidence from Myanmar
DESCRIPTION:Since independence\, most of the ethnic minority groups in Myanmar—though not all—have rebelled against the central government\, making it home to the most simultaneous and longest ongoing armed conflict in the world. In this talk\, Jangai Jap tracks the origins of armed ethnic organizations in Myanmar and argue that political exclusion—a primary grievance widely thought to motivate ethnic rebellion—played a rather minimal role in the onset of ethnic rebellions. Instead\, what distinguishes ethnic groups in rebellion from other ethnic minority groups is the claim of having an ethnic “homeland” within Myanmar. Individuals from such ethnic groups form nascent armed groups\, which are then fostered and supported by more established ethnic armed organizations. Jap illustrates this dynamic through the role of the Karen National Union and the Kachin Independence Organization in the proliferation of robust ethnic armed organizations in Myanmar.\n   \n   Jangai Jap is an assistant professor in the Department of International Affairs at the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs. She researches ethnic politics\, nationalism\, minority-state relations\, and Burma/Myanmar politics. Her ongoing work examines interethnic relations\, bureaucratic experiences\, and ethnic rebellion. Previously\, she was an early career provost fellow in the Department of Government at the University of Texas at Austin and a postdoctoral fellow in the Politics of Race and Ethnicity Lab. She holds a Ph.D. in political science from George Washington University and a B.A. in Judaic studies and political science from Yale University.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Integrated Product Development: Online Product Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Fall 2025 IPD Online Product Launch runs from December 2 at 12 p.m. through December 5 at 12 p.m. During this time\, members of the public are invited to explore a virtual marketplace by visiting the IPD Voting Website. Each participant is given a hypothetical budget to allocate across products based on personal preferences. \nThe challenge concludes with an in-person Product Launch on December 8\, from 5:30–7:30 p.m.\, in the Ross School of Business Winter Garden. Guests will have the opportunity to interact directly with student teams\, experience the products in person\, and vote for their favorites. The evening will culminate with the announcement of the winning team.\n\nTHE CHALLENGE\nThis year’s theme\, “Material Matters\,” asks students to design products that weave sustainability into outdoor products and experiences. Student teams employ sustainably-oriented textiles in physical\, digital\, or hybrid “phygital” products that support engagement with the outdoors – from balconies to backyards to ballparks to beaches to bayous and beyond.\n\nTHE COURSE\nThe University of Michigan’s Integrated Product Design (IPD) program brings together interdisciplinary teams of students from business\, engineering\, information\, and design. Students collaborate in cross-functional teams to operate as independent companies competing in a specific product market.\n\nEach semester\, IPD focuses on a unique design challenge\, and asks teams to operate as independent firms competing in that market. The curriculum combines lectures with hands-on work\, guiding teams through critical stages such as customer discovery\, concept generation\, technical development\, production planning\, pricing\, and marketing.\nThe IPD Challenge is more than a classroom project. It’s a hands-on experience that pushes students to create solutions that could shape industries. By integrating business strategy with technical feasibility and user-centered design\, the competition mirrors the real-world product development process. Students don’t just build prototypes—they develop go-to-market strategies and refine their concepts based on real feedback.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:II Event. Languages Summit
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, December 5\, 2025\n1:00–4:00 PM\nAssembly Hall (Fourth Floor)\, Rackham Building\, 915 E. Washington St. Ann Arbor\n\nPublic Program at https://myumi.ch/5kx9r\n\nVisit http://myumi.ch/8q8pZ to participate via Zoom (registration required).\n\nThe University of Michigan (U-M) has long been a national leader in foreign language learning\, supported by an unmatched infrastructure that includes language departments and resource centers across the university\, extensive international library holdings\, internship and fellowship opportunities for language and cultural study abroad for undergraduate and graduate students\, and a stellar faculty of LEO lecturers and tenure-track professors whose teaching and research reflect global perspectives.\n\nFor decades\, the International Institute (II) has been an integral part of this infrastructure\, hosting six National Resource Centers (NRCs) and six Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) centers funded under Title VI of the U.S. Department of Education. These programs have provided vital resources that sustain U-M’s excellence in world languages\, including a broad array of Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTLs). They have allowed the II to offer significant support for language study\, study abroad\, international internships\, and research opportunities for U-M students.\n\nOn September 10\, 2025\, the U.S. Department of Education summarily canceled its Title VI funding\, stating that the program was no longer “…consistent with Administration priorities” and with “advanc[ing] American interests or values.” With this notification\, the Department prematurely terminated a four-year grant three years into the contract\, and informed the principal investigators (PIs) that it would not seek Title VI funding from Congress in future budgets.\n\nThis rescission\, resulting in a 20% cut to the II’s annual budget\, has broad ramifications across the university. Title VI funding directly supported instruction in Armenian\, Filipino\, Indonesian\, Khmer\, Tamil\, Thai\, Turkish\, and Vietnamese\, covering salaries for nine lecturers who taught 54 unique courses over the past two years\, for a total of 79 classes offered. Beyond this immediate budgetary cliff\, the loss of the Title VI ecosystem – including FLAS grants for undergraduate and graduate students\, and NRCs in Area Studies –  threatens U-M’s leading role in the teaching of world languages.\n\nHow can we protect and nurture that role with or without federal funding? What resources does U-M harbor\, what obstacles does it face\, and what opportunities can we identify for sustaining the rich tapestry of language study in all of its dimensions? The Languages Summit will bring together faculty\, staff\, leadership\, and stakeholders from across the university to share information\, discuss challenges\, develop strategies\, and secure the future of languages at U-M.\n\nSome guiding questions around which we seek to structure the conversations include:\n\n▪︎ How does U-M define and communicate its commitment to the teaching\, learning\, and study of\, and in\, the broadest array of languages – arguably a key plank in the very notion of “the university”?\n\n▪︎ Where do we see the biggest challenge or obstacle to our work\, whether now or in the foreseeable future?\n\n▪︎ Given the most recent releases of DeepL\, Grok\, and Apple’s “Live Translation” AirPods\, what is the argument for studying languages? How do we approach languages—as skill\, as tool\, as cultural competence\, as life-changing experience\, and/or as object of study? Where do we think our students are on this question?\n\n▪︎ What actions should the university take now to ensure a sustainable future for languages in all their diversity at Michigan?\n\nThe event will combine short\, focused presentations from representatives of different units around campus with ample time for collective discussion. We hope you can join us.\n\n- - -\n\nCosponsors: II Centers & Programs (African Studies Center\, Center for Armenian Studies\, Center for Emerging Democracies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies\, Center for Middle Eastern & North African Studies\, Center for Russian\, East European & Eurasian Studies\, Center for South Asian Studies\, Center for Southeast Asian Studies\, Copernicus Center for Polish Studies\, Donia Human Rights Center\, Global Islamic Studies Center\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, Program in International & Comparative Studies\, Weiser Center for Europe & Eurasia)\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, Department of Classical Studies\, Language Resource Center\, Department of Linguistics\, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures\, University of Michigan Library\, Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures\, Department of Middle East Studies\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\n- - -\n\nAccommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Accounting for Socialization: Professional Education and Quantitative Governance
DESCRIPTION:“Accountability” has become an increasingly prominent form of governance across the globe.  However\, we know little about how the people who craft and implement such policies learn the rationale of accountability.  How do future policy professionals learn accountability?  That is\, how is accountability\, as a form of governance\, taught and learned?  These questions pertain to professional socialization and are key to understanding the spread and implementation of accountability policies across organizations.  To answer these questions\, we draw from a 2-year ethnography of a cohort of students at a highly regarded Masters of Public Affairs (MPA) program. Utilizing an inhabited institutional approach\, we find that the students learn accountability indirectly through an emphasis on the quantitative techniques that facilitate accountability. Instead of directly debating forms of governance such as accountability\, the students become versed in quantitative “language” and “tools\,” which in different ways support or actively promote forms of accountability in their careers. As an institutional rationale and form of governance\, accountability is inhabited by policy professionals who have been socialized into quantitative language and tools.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Edge States on Sharply Joined Photonic Crystals
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Edge states are important in stably transmitting information and energy. We investigate edge states in continuous models of photonic crystals with piecewise constant coefficients\, which are more realistic and controllable for manufacturing optical devices. First\, we show the existence of Dirac points on honeycomb structures with suitable symmetries. Then we show that when perturbed in two appropriate ways\, the perturbed honeycomb structures have a common band gap\, and when joined along suitable interfaces\, there exist edge states which propagate along the interfaces and exponentially decay away from the interfaces. Our rigorous analysis confirms the heuristic effective theory results. The main tools used are layer potentials\, asymptotic analysis\, the Gohberg-Sigal theory and Lyapunov-Schmidt reductions. This is joint work with Junshan Lin\, Jiayu Qiu\, Hai Zhang.\n\nContact:  Peter Miller

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bananapocalypse: Un/Making Plantation Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Department of Anthropology presents its fall 2025 Roy A. Rappaport Lecture Series\, “Bananapocalypse: Un/Making Plantation Capitalism\,” with Assistant Professor Alyssa Paredes:\n\n“Existential crises hang over the producers of the world’s food. Many of these challenges are self-inflicted. In the banana-growing regions of the Southern Philippines\, which produce fruit for export to Japanese markets\, plantations unleash pesticide drift\, food waste\, water effluent\, and fungal pathogens into the surroundings. The plantocratic elite systematically shirks responsibility for these excesses\, using legal contracts\, scientific conventions\, and standards of trade to frame them as “external” to their supply chains. However\, plantation management is regularly proven wrong in its assumption that the things they try to push downstream will not double back to haunt them. Everyday actors on the plantations’ peripheries transform the devices designed to work against them into openings for intervention. Their efforts implore critical scholars of the environment and of global economies to take seriously the possibility that Big Ag’s increasingly frequent failures to reproduce itself are more than just minor inconveniences to business-as-usual. In this series of lectures\, I trace the afterlives of the externalities that commodity production obscures\, disguises\, or otherwise erases from its ambit of accountability. In so doing\, I offer an ethnographic model for turning the commodity studies model\, inherited from generations of anthropologists\, inside-out.”\n\nRappaport lectures will take place on the following fall Fridays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in 411 West Hall. They are free and open to the public. \n\nFriday\, Sept. 12\nElses and Externalities: The Un/Making of Plantation Capitalism \n\nFriday\, Oct. 10\nRejects: Food Cosmetic Standards and the Geopolitics of Waste\n\nFriday\, Nov. 14\nEffluent: Living Downstream of Yourself on the Mindanao River\n\nFriday\, Dec. 5\nForce Majeure: The See-Through Plantation\n\nVIRTUAL PARTICIPATION LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91475190155\n\nIf you need accommodations in order to attend\, please email anthro.exec.secretary@umich.edu.\n\nABOUT ASSISTANT PROFESSOR ALYSSA PAREDES\nAlyssa Paredes is an environmental and economic anthropologist with research interests at the intersection of industrial agriculture\, transnational supply chains\, and social mobilization between the Southern Philippines and Japan. Her book manuscript\, tentatively titled “Bananapocalypse: An Ethnography of the Commodity for the 21st Century\,” is under contract with the University of California Press. Additionally\, her work appears in journals in anthropology\, history\, geography\, food studies\, and Asian studies. She is also co-editor of “Halo-Halo Ecologies: The Emergent Environments Behind Filipino Food” (University of Hawaii Press 2025). She holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Yale University.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Local Positivity
DESCRIPTION:Seshadri constants provide a fundamental numerical measure of the local positivity of line bundles. In this talk\, I will discuss their interpretation via blow-ups\, jet separation\, and asymptotic multiplier ideals\, highlighting how these invariants encode the geometry of base loci. Finally\, I will present examples on surfaces and on blow-ups of \mathbb{P}^2 that illustrate how these ideas appear in explicit calculations and connect to conjectures such as Nagata’s.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Matthew Kohn
DESCRIPTION:Leucogranites (highly felsic intrusive bodies with <3% Fe-Mg minerals) represent small fractions of granitic rocks overall\, but often have unusual chemistries and structural settings. The Himalayan leucogranites are the most well-studied worldwide\, are abundant at the crest of the Himalaya\, and are associated with Earth’s largest continental normal fault system– the South Tibetan Detachment System (STDS). These sheet-like bodies have crystallization ages from ≤~15 to ~24 Ma\, range from undeformed to highly sheared\, and have newly-discovered economic resources\, especially in Li (spodumene) and Be (beryl)\, but also Nb-Ta\, and W-Sn. Trace element and isotope geochemistry link Himalayan leucogranites to partial melting of underlying\, high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: Reactor Core & System Design Research at UW-Madison
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk will give an overview of a few different projects at UW-Madison on reactor technology and integrated energy systems. Firstly\, an irregular design of PWR assembly is introduced\, which allows the number of pins to be increased while maintaining backward compatibility\, hence facilitating core uprates. Secondly\, an overview of our work on integrated energy systems will be presented. In an increasingly volatile electricity market\, there are opportunities for nuclear energy to maximize economic value through flexible dispatch. This can be facilitated by integration of thermal energy storage which can be discharged at periods of high demand. Thermal energy storage also presents opportunities for tight integration of nuclear and solar thermal energy\, providing synergistic benefits and increasing project value. Finally\, integration of low temperature cogeneration\, for example seawater desalination\, can again increase revenue\, and thermal energy storage presents opportunities for maximizing the value of the integrated system.\n \nBio: Dr Ben Lindley is an Assistant Professor in Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics at UW-Madison. His current research focusses on the computational modelling\, design & development of fission and fusion energy systems. Ben holds a joint faculty appointment at Argonne National Laboratory and co-founded Realta Fusion\, a UW-Madison spinout aiming to commercialize fusion energy.  Ben holds a PhD in Nuclear Engineering and MEng & BA degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Cambridge\, UK (2007-2014).\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:  From Mostow rigidity to singularity of stationary measures
DESCRIPTION:Given a finitely supported probability measure on a Kleinian group\, Kaimanovich showed that the Poisson boundary of the associated random walk is the boundary of hyperbolic space equipped with the hitting measure\, which is the unique stationary measure. It has been conjectured that this stationary measure is singular with respect to conformal measures of the Kleinian group (or Patterson--Sullivan measures). In this talk\, I will explain how Mostow rigidity can be generalized to show this expected singularity when the Kleinian group is not convex cocompact. If time permits\, I will also discuss corresponding results for random walks on mapping class groups and stationary measures on the Thurston boundary of Teichmüller space. This is joint work with Andrew Zimmer.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:December Movie Night - Alice
DESCRIPTION:Alice is a dramatic thriller written and directed by Krystin Ver Linden\, starring Keke Palmer\, Jonny Lee Miller\, Common\, Gaius Charles\, and Alicia Witt. Set in rural Georgia\, the film follows Alice\, an enslaved woman living on a plantation under the cruel control of her owner\, Paul Bennet. After a harrowing escape into the surrounding woods\, Alice discovers that it is\, in fact\, the year 1973\, not the antebellum South as she had been led to believe her entire life.\n\nStunned by the revelation and determined to understand her new reality\, Alice is taken in by a truck driver named Frank. Inspired by 1970s Blaxploitation films and determined to reclaim her stolen life\, she sets out on a quest for freedom\, justice\, and empowerment. Blending historical drama with modern themes\, Alice is a powerful and provocative reimagining of American history\, exploring resilience\, self-discovery\, and the enduring fight for liberation.\n\nThis movie night is brought to you by the Ginsberg Student Advisory Board\, whose support of the Ginsberg Center’s work helps to create a culture of community and civic engagement.\n\nPlease note: The movies selected for screening do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Ginsberg Center or its affiliates\, and their inclusion does not constitute an endorsement of any particular viewpoint.
