While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

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:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

She radically expanded the dance vocabulary\, rooting it in social\, psychological\, and sexual ideas\, and forever altering the art form. Her company\, celebrating its 100th season since its 1926 beginnings in a small studio at Carnegie Hall\, exemplifies its founder’s timeless and uniquely American style of dance.\n\nIn addition to her astonishing and groundbreaking choreography\, Graham was known for her collaborations with visual artists whose set designs took her works to a completely different level. For these three different performances\, the company will bring some of its original sets by the Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi\, who partnered with Graham in over 20 works including Appalachian Spring and Cave of the Heart.

Equal parts genius and buffoon\, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon\, with a show that appeals to college students\, stoners\, businessmen\, yuppies\, rednecks\, punks\, kids or your grandmother. Heywood intersperses his humorous observations of life with twisted\, inventive\, bizarre songs\, sung and played in a variety of styles\, from folk\, to country to rock to pop\, and way beyond. You have to be pretty sharp to get Heywood at his deepest level (he demands a high level of pop culture literacy)\, but you can also enjoy him just for his vocal style impersonations\, expert musicianship and just plain silliness. Heywood has appeared on A&E’s Evening at the Improv\, MTV’s 1/2 Hour Comedy Hour\, CNN’s Hollywood Minute\, Caroline’s Comedy Hour\, Entertainment Tonight\, Showtime Comedy Club Network\, and the Dr. Demento Show\,” and is a frequent guest on the national Bob and Tom radio show.

Presented in association with the Ann Arbor Symphony.\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nPianist ARISTO SHAM exudes astounding intellect and a deep emotional resonance\; a cultivated sophistication and an immediately engaging presence\; a penchant to take on the great monuments of the piano repertoire and a natural\, infectious spontaneity. This makeup is fueled by a fascination with the world and its rich cultures: he was an international prodigy\, is a voracious student of wide-ranging interests\, and currently splits his time between three continents. \n\nAt the 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition\, Aristo found his breakthrough moment\, taking home both the gold medal and the audience award. And the critics showered him with imaginative praise\, calling him “a marvel of deft characterization\,” “consistently authoritative\,” “a card-carrying risk taker\,” “a dapper\, aristocratic figure on stage\,” “a pianist I look forward to hearing again” (*The Dallas Morning News*\, *Gramophone*\, *Texas Classical Voice*). In just two months’ time\, he was mentioned in more than 800 news articles\, and his Cliburn performance videos were streamed 2 million times across 125 countries.\n\nAristo was featured in the 2009 documentary *The World’s Greatest Musical Prodigies* on Channel 4 (UK)\, has performed for royalty including King Charles\, and was hailed by The New York Times in 2020 as an artist “whose playing combines clarity\, elegance and abundant technique.” He has concertized across Asia\, Europe\, and the United States\, with major highlights including the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle\, Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra under Edo de Waart\, English Chamber Orchestra under the late Sir Raymond Leppard\, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne\, and Minnesota Orchestra. His 2025–2026 debut season as Cliburn winner includes a major tour of Asia through South Korea and China\, and U.S. recitals for Aspen Music Festival\, La Jolla Music Society/The Conrad\, UCSB Arts and Lectures\, and the Skyline Piano Artist Series at Northwestern University.\n\nRecently\, he recorded and hosted the complete Brahms solo piano music on RTHK4\, Classical Radio in Hong Kong. Upcoming seasons will see the release of two albums on Platoon: a Cliburn live release\, as well as his debut studio album.\n\nAristo Sham’s mother taught piano in their Hong Kong home\, so he says: “I was enveloped in the environment of the piano even before I was born.” His parents recall his immense curiosity towards the instrument when he was a toddler and started him in lessons when he was 3. At the age of 10\, he began competing and concertizing. But he also went to regular schools\, never making the conscious decision to focus solely on the piano or his other studies\; this made the dual degree program at Harvard and the New England Conservatory a perfect fit when he went to college. He finished his Bachelor of Arts at Harvard in 2019 and master’s at NEC under Victor Rosenbaum in 2020. He then went to the Ingesund School of Music in Sweden to study with Julia Mustonen-Dahlkvist before returning to the States to earn an artist diploma at The Juilliard School with Robert McDonald and Orli Shaham. In addition to the Cliburn\, he’s a laureate of international competitions\, with first-prize wins at Young Concert Artists\, Ettlingen\, Gina Bachauer\, and Monte Carlo Music Masters.

She radically expanded the dance vocabulary\, rooting it in social\, psychological\, and sexual ideas\, and forever altering the art form. Her company\, celebrating its 100th season since its 1926 beginnings in a small studio at Carnegie Hall\, exemplifies its founder’s timeless and uniquely American style of dance.\n\nIn addition to her astonishing and groundbreaking choreography\, Graham was known for her collaborations with visual artists whose set designs took her works to a completely different level. For these three different performances\, the company will bring some of its original sets by the Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi\, who partnered with Graham in over 20 works including Appalachian Spring and Cave of the Heart. Together\, their choreography and set design captured the complexity of the uniquely American experience.\n\nLooking for free student tickets?

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.

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

The goals of the NSAL were to examine how factors like stress\, coping\, early-life experiences\, and cultural beliefs relate to mental health and psychiatric disorders within the Black population. Twenty-five years later\, the NSAL remains unparalleled in terms of its characterization of heterogeneity in psychological\, social\, behavioral and environmental factors within the Black population. In 2026\, we are now planning to reinterview this singular cohort to understand pathways of risk and resilience between psychosocial factors and dementia. To be successful\, this 25-year followup will need to be pioneering in the spirit of the original NSAL effort. This presentation will summarize the survey methodological innovations of the original NSAL and describe the new approaches we are applying in this follow-up effort. Collectively\, this program will demonstrate how foundational principles of interdisciplinary collaboration\, team science\, relationships\, and resiliency are essential in today’s efforts to conduct social science in the public interest.\n\nThis is a hybrid event at the Institute for Social Research with a live stream option available at https://myumi.ch/Nr4mW UID:143024-21891957@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143024 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:mlk symposium,Social Science,Survey Research LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260310T094648 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260119T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260119T144500 SUMMARY:Film Screening:T.REX DESCRIPTION:With stunning CGI visuals and the latest research from leading paleontologists\, the film offers audiences a fresh perspective on the GOAT (Greatest Of All Tyrants): Tyrannosaurus rex.

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.

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

But without deliberate attention to the moral formation of trainees\, how can we hope to cultivate clinicians whose professional identity can withstand the environmental hazards of commercialized medicine? Dr. Ryan Antiel confronts this question head-on. In this talk\, he explores why virtue\, character and the habits of moral perception are essential — not optional — in shaping physicians who can care wisely and humanely for the most vulnerable. \n\nDr. Antiel will present one such effort underway at Duke University: The Good Surgeon. Drawing on strategies from the Oxford Leadership Initiative\, this project seeks to counter professional corrosion by forming a parallel community rooted in friendship\, mutual accountability and honest inquiry. Within this space\, difficult questions are raised\, new practices are tested and the seeds of durable professional identity are cultivated. It is an experiment in rebuilding moral architecture from the inside out. \n \nDr. Antiel is a pediatric surgeon and medical ethicist at Duke University\, where he serves on the faculty of the Trent Center for Bioethics\, Humanities & History of Medicine. His research combines empirical approaches from the fields of epidemiology\, decision-making sciences and child outcomes with conceptual work grounded in moral philosophy and theology. He applies these approaches to address ethical challenges surrounding the care of seriously ill fetuses and neonates.  He is also interested in how surgical residency shapes the character of surgeons-in-training and how best to form the virtues of character necessary for good surgical practice. \n \nYou can check out his work in leading medical journals like JAMA Surgery and NEJM. We are excited to hear his thoughts on cultivating moral resilience and professional integrity in modern medicine.

But the system through which these mass deportations are being carried out has been in place for decades\, and many of the issues drawing headlines — from overcrowded detention centers\, to family separations\, and deportations without due process — are nothing new. In this conversation\, Dickerson will debunk common misconceptions about how the American immigration system works and how it doesn’t. She will also discuss the United States’ complex history with immigrants\, which includes a deeply ingrained\, race-based fear that\, for centuries\, has been directed toward virtually every group of American immigrants\, fuelling moments of intense backlash like the one we are in now.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nCaitlin Dickerson has been a staff writer at The Atlantic since 2021. In 2023\, she won the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting and the Livingston Award for National Reporting for “We Need to Take Away Children\,” an indepth examination of the U.S. government’s child separation policy during the first Trump adminstation.

Featuring voices ranging from Nazi-era survivor Theodor Wonja Michael to contemporary figures such as rapper Samy Deluxe\, Afro.Deutschland interrogates the persistent question “Where are you from?” and examines Germany’s colonial past and its ongoing impact on identity.

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.

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

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:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere.

We are used to thinking of forces in terms of Newton’s third law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. However\, there are some systems where the forces appear to be non-reciprocal\; the objects exert different forces on each other. Such an interaction is possible when the interaction is anisotropic. In this case\, the force between two particles depends on their relative orientation. Anisotropic interactions are known to arise in some of the most interesting complex systems\, including proteins\, electrorheological (ER) fluids\, and liquid crystals. Here\, we study anisotropic interactions in a complex\, or dusty\, plasma. We use numerical models of the interactions between ions and dust to learn the form of the anisotropic interaction potential. We can then use this potential to model the dynamics of interacting dust particles without modeling the ions. We compare the results of our models to experimental data collected in laboratory experiments conducted here on earth and on the International Space Station.\nThis work was supported by the US Department of Energy\, Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (DE-SC0024681) and National Science Foundation (PHY-2308742\, PHY-2308743).\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nLorin Swint Matthews is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Baylor University and Associate Director of the Center for Astrophysics\, Space Physics\, and Engineering Research.

A well known result of Beilinson-Bernstein asserts that over the field of complex numbers flag varieties of semi-simple algebraic groups are D-affine. So far\, Flag varieties are the only known examples of smooth projective D-affine varieties. Moreover\, Kashiwara-Lauritzen showed that over fields of positive characteristic the grassmannian Gr(2\,5) is not D-affine and the classification of D-affine flag varieties remains an open problem.\n\nIn the first part of the talk\, I will briefly recall the basics of D-affine varieties. Then\, I will survey both the problem of classification of D-affine varieties over fields of arbitrary characteristic and the problem of classification of D-affine flag varieties in positive characteristic. Finally\, I will present my recent result: Over a field of positive characteristic the smooth even-dimensional quadric hypersurface of dimension at least four is not D-affine. This result implies that various other flag varieties fail to be D-affine and refines a previous result of A. Langer who showed that odd-dimensional quadrics are D-affine if the characteristic of the base field is sufficiently large.

Between Armenian(s): A Conversation with Arakel Minassian DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the re-launch of our graduate student Arakel Minassian’s co-written book *Sahmanakhagh(kht): Hayerenn u hayerēně [Border-play: The Armenian and the Armenian]*. In this book\, Arakel and Armenia-based writer Anahit Ghazaryan narrate a moment in time that found Arakel navigating life in Armenia as a Lebanese-Armenian diasporan from Canada. Written as a set of correspondences between Arakel and Anahit on topics ranging from everyday interactions to specific musings on language and dialect\, the book also narrates a meeting between the two major standards of Armenian – Arakel’s Western Armenian\, the standard of much of the post-genocide Armenian diaspora\, and Anahit’s Eastern Armenian\, the standard of the post-Soviet Armenian Republic. Written in their respective dialects (and their different orthographies)\, Anahit and Arakel’s dialogue illustrates the growing and complicated interactions between these two standards at the same time as it stages a discussion on diaspora\, home\, and the various meanings of Armenianness in the present-day. First published in Yerevan in 2022 with a grant from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation\, *Sahmanakhagh(kht)* is now in its second printing. This event will feature a discussion with Arakel Minassian in English\, as well as readings in both Armenian and English translation. Books will be available for purchase.\n \n Arakel Minassian is a PhD student in the University of Michigan’s Department of Comparative Literature. His research focuses on 20th century Armenian literature and how writers creatively and differently engage Armenian and non-Armenian traditions across locales as diverse as Istanbul\, Paris\, and Soviet Yerevan. Looking at nodes like multilingualism\, diaspora\, and world literature\, he tries to find novel ways of reading 20th century Armenian literary history. Arakel has also published several translations from Armenian\, including Zabel Yesayan’s 1918 book *The Agony of a People *and Yeghishe Charents’ 1920 poem *Vision of Death*\, among other works.\n \n Webinar ID\n 924 1095 7575\n https://umich.zoom.us/j/92410957575\n \nCosponsor: National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR)\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

In her lecture\, Ms. Al-Karib will reflect on her experiences advocating for human rights in the African context and how it mirrors the fight for civil rights in the United States.\n\n\"I grew up in the diminishing shadows of the African liberation movements. My childhood recollections were filled with long political debates among my parents\, their friends\, older cousins\, and uncles about memories of leaders like Biko of South Africa\, Senghor of Senegal\, Nkrumah of Ghana\, Nyerere of Tanzania\, Nasser of Egypt\, and Patrice Lumumba of the Congo. Naturally\, this history has shaped my political consciousness.\n\nLater in my life\, I discovered that at the same time\, another liberation movement was unfolding across the Atlantic\, where young men and women of African descent were challenging a system that disregarded their humanity\; they also vigorously strived for equality\, justice\, and human rights. In this conversation I am going to have with you\, I will seek to illustrate how the quest for liberation and decolonization in Africa parallels the civil rights movement in America\; both movements are reflecting our extended struggle to cross over that bridge towards a peaceful and just society.\"\n\nCommentator\n\nCarina Ray\nA.M. and H.P.

We begin by deriving the infinitesimal generator of the Langevin diffusion and the associated Fokker–Planck equation\, which governs the evolution of probability densities. This correspondence allows us to characterize invariant (stationary) distributions and to analyze qualitative dynamical behavior\, including probability flow and transition times between modes of the distributions.\n\nExploiting the special Gibbs form of the stationary distribution\, we show how overdamped Langevin dynamics can be used as a practical sampling mechanism for high-dimensional target distributions. We then compare classical Metropolis–Hastings algorithms with Langevin-based methods\, highlighting their respective strengths\, such as improved scalability with data through gradient information\, as well as their limitations\, including discretization bias and sensitivity to step size. We conclude with remarks on challenges that arise when applying Langevin-based samplers to latent-variable models\, such as latent Dirichlet allocation and tree-structured latent variable models\, where other methods such as Variational Inference perform much quicker with great results.

Assuming a Gaussian prior on the drift\, we use filtering techniques to update its posterior estimates. Based on these estimates\, we propose a Thompson-sampling-based algorithm with dynamic episode lengths to approximate strategies. We show that the Bayesian regret for each player has an error bound of order $O(\sqrt{T\log(T)})$\, where $T$ is the time-horizon\, independent of the number of players. This implies that average regret per unit time goes to zero. Finally\, we prove that the algorithm results in a Nash equilibrium.

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.

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

These two types of immunity are essential for protecting plants from pathogen invasion balancing growth and defense to maintain immune homeostasis. \n\nCalcium (Ca2+) is a secondary messenger that plays an essential role in plant immunity by transmitting immune signals from PRR and NLR receptors to downstream immune response upon pathogen perception and regulating processes such as transcriptional reprogramming\, reactive oxygen species production\, and kinase activation. However\, imbalanced Ca2+ signaling can induce autoimmunity\, causing cell death in plants.\n \nWe are interested in how Ca2+ signaling is integrated into a regulatory network that maintains immune homeostasis. In this thesis\, I characterized three closely related cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels (CNGCs) acting as Ca2+ channels to suppress plant autoimmunity and regulate reproductive development. In Arabidopsis thaliana\, 20 CNGCs are classified into five groups (I\, II\, III\, IVa\, and IVb) based on sequence homology. Structurally\, Arabidopsis CNGCs contain six transmembrane domains\, a P-loop domain for ion selection\, a cyclic nucleotide-binding domain (CNBD)\, and a calmodulin-binding domain (CaMBD) for channel activity regulation. Our lab previously demonstrated that activation of CNGC19 and CNGC20\, upon phosphorylation by the receptor kinase BAK-to-life 2 (BTL2)\, induces massive intracellular Ca2+ influx\, leading to autoimmunity\, due to perturbation of the shared PRR-coreceptors BAK1/SERK4. In addition\, the chimeric CNGC11 and CNGC12\, which likely form an active calcium channel\, also cause autoimmunity. I systematically characterized CNGC11\, CNGC12\, and their closest homolog CNGC3 by generating single\, double\, and triple mutants with CRISPR-Cas gene editing. Importantly\, neither CNGC3\, 11\, nor 12 single or double mutants altered plant growth and immune responses. However\, the cngc3/11/12 triple mutants exhibited growth defects with varying levels of cell death. In addition\, the cngc3 single mutants showed infertility\, with shorter siliques and fewer seeds\, despite normal stamen and pistil structures. Using an Agrobacterium-mediated VIGS (virus-induced gene silencing) approach\, I show that the EDS1(ENHANCED DISEASE SUSCEPTIBILITY 1)-PAD4 (PHYTOALEXIN DEFICIENT 4)-ADR1s (ACTIVATED DISEASE RESISTANCE 1) module\, which plays a central role in toll/interleukin-1 receptor NLR (TNL)-mediated immunity\, is essential for the RNAi-CNGC3/11/12-induced cell death. RNA-sequencing analysis further suggests the involvement of additional Ca2+ channels\, pumps\, and TIR-domain-containing proteins in cngc3/11/12 cell death. These results suggest that the depletion of CNGC3\, 11\, and 12 activates additional Ca2+ channels\, which further activate the TIR-EDS1-PAD4-ADR1s module to induce cell death. \n\nCeramides are a class of sphingolipids known to induce programmed cell death in plants and animals with unclear mechanisms. Mutation of ceramide kinase ACD5\, which results in the accumulation of high levels of ceramides\, induces spontaneous cell death in plants. Using VIGS\, I found that RNAi-ACD5-induced cell death depends on the NLR SUMM2 and other components of the SUMM2 signaling pathway. In addition\, ceramide levels are elevated in autoimmune mutants when SUMM2 is activated. Furthermore\, ceramides activate the phosphatase activity of Protein Phosphatase 5 (PP5) and promote PP5 interaction with the co-chaperone protein HOP1\, which are essential for SUMM2 activation. Collectively\, our findings reveal a mechanism by which ceramides promote cell death in plants through activation of a phosphatase that subsequently activates NLR immune receptors.\n\nIn summary\, our studies underscore the importance of maintaining balanced Ca2+ signaling and ceramide levels for immune homeostasis in plants.

Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

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:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

Unlocking the mysteries of metal nanocrystal growth and assembly has been a pursuit in our research for the past decade. In this talk\, I will discuss our efforts to develop the theoretical capability to capture the intricacies of nanocrystal growth and our application of these methods to describe experimental mysteries. \n\nI will discuss the profound and synergistic role of halides and organic capping agents in promoting facet-selective nanocrystal growth and selective assembly. We use first-principles density-functional theory calculations\, along with auxiliary methods\, to demonstrate how halides affect surface diffusion and facet-specific nanocrystal interactions in multiple systems\, ranging from the growth of Cu nanowires and plates to the assembly of Au nanocrystals to the formation of hierarchical Pt nanocrystals via facet-selective aggregation. Early in the growth process\, nanocrystals in the 1-2 nm size range are fluxional and we have used enhanced sampling methods\, originally developed to study biomolecules\, together with machine learning to uncover their structures and shape transformations and to learn useful information for catalysis.

Imagine ultrasound delivered from outside the body is used to generate bubbles and destroy the target tumor\, without incision or injury. Pre-clinical studies have shown that ultrasound image-guided histotripsy can non-invasively and mechanically disrupt the target tumor into acellular debris while preserving large normal vessels\, nerves\, and bile ducts. Histotripsy tumor acellular debris is absorbed by the body\, resulting in tumor regression and increased survival benefit. Histotripsy induces significant innate and adaptive immune response and abscopal effect (shrinkage of off-target tumors) in murine tumor models. Multi-center clinical trials confirm that histotripsy produces tumor regression and provides evidence of abscopal effect in patients with primary and metastatic liver tumors. In October 2023\, the Edison histotripsy platform (HistoSonics) was approved by FDA for non-invasive treatment of liver tumors. The Edison system is based on the technology licensed from Dr. Xu’s lab and manufactured by HistoSonics\, a company co-founded by Dr. Xu. To Date\, histotripsy has been used to treat 3000 patients with liver tumors in 70+ hospitals. There are ongoing clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe on histotripsy treatment of renal tumors and pancreatic tumors. Dr. Xu will talk about the mechanism and instrumentation of histotripsy\, the latest pre-clinical and clinical progress\, and her journal to bring this technology from bench to bedside. \nBio:\nDr. Zhen Xu is the Li Ka Shing Endowed Professor of Biomedical Engineering\, and Professor of Radiology and Neurosurgery at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, MI. Her research focuses on ultrasound therapy and imaging. She is a pioneer and world leader of histotripsy. She has developed histotripsy for cancer\, neurological\, and cardiovascular applications. Her work has led to the FDA approval of histotripsy treatment of liver tumors. She has been elected as Fellow of National Academy of Inventors (NAI)\, American Institute of Medicine and Bioengineering (AIMBE)\, and IEEE. She received the IEEE Ultrasonics\, Ferroelectrics\, and Frequency Control (UFFC) Outstanding Paper Award in 2006\, Frederic Lizzi Award from the International Society of Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU) in 2015\, Lockhart Memorial Prize for Cancer Research in 2020\, and IEEE Carl Hellmuth Hertz Ultrasonics Award in 2024.

The Great Lakes region\, with its extensive shoreline and favorable topography\, offers significant potential for pumped hydro energy storage (PHS). Beyond providing large-scale\, long-duration storage\, PHS also presents opportunities for energy integration with emerging offshore wind development in the lakes.\n\nAt the same time\, the history of the Ludington PHS facility has shown that large water-based infrastructure projects can raise important questions regarding the commercial use of Great Lakes water resources. As interest grows in exploring new PHS concepts in the region\, it is crucial to examine the environmental implications—particularly ecological and fishery impacts—and to consider how such projects intersect with public trust\, governance\, and social acceptance.\n\nThis panel brings together experts in engineering\, ecology\, and policy to discuss the technical feasibility\, environmental considerations\, and societal dimensions of pumped hydro development in the Great Lakes. The session aims to foster an informed\, multidisciplinary conversation about the future of water-energy systems in our region.\n\nAbout the Speakers: \nModerator: Marc Gaden\, Adjunct Assistant Professor\, SEAS and Executive Secretary\, Great Lakes Fishery Commission\n\nPanelists: Jon Allan\, Retired Sr. Advisor and Sr. Academic and Research Program Officer\, School for Environment and Sustainability\; Jeremy Bricker\, Associate Professor\, Civil and Environmental Engineering\; Tomas Höök\, Head/Professor Forestry & Natural Resources\, Purdue University\; Xin Shen\, PhD candidate\, Civil and Environmental Engineering\n\nYou can RSVP for the event here: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks UID:142761-21891343@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/142761 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Civil and Environmental Engineering,Collaboration,Complex Systems,Energy And The Environment,Engineering,environment,freshwater,great lakes LOCATION:Michigan Union - Kuenzel Room CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260113T103127 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260122T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260122T163000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Race & Racial Ideologies Workshop DESCRIPTION:January 22: Erykah Benson\nMarch 19: Kyle McCullers\nApril 2: Carlo Handy Charles\nApril 16: Vanessa Jiménez-Read UID:143799-21894041@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143799 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate Student LOCATION:LSA Building - 4154 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260122T142051 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260122T151500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260122T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Jeremy Taylor Outstanding Research Mentor Award Featured Lecture with Tianxi Cai\, PhD + Reception DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics is pleased to host Tianxi Cai\, PhD (Harvard University)\, recipient of the 2025 Jeremy Taylor Outstanding Research Mentor Award\, for a featured academic seminar on Thursday\, January 22 at 3:30 p.m. Dr. Cai is an internationally recognized leader in statistical learning\, risk prediction\, and the integration of electronic health records with genomic and clinical data. Her lecture will draw on her pioneering work in translational data science and precision medicine\, reflecting both her methodological impact and her deep commitment to mentoring the next generation of statistical scientists. A reception will follow the seminar. The reception is open only to those who attend the lecture.Toward Durable AI in Healthcare: Generalizable Learning from Imperfect EHR DataElectronic Health Record (EHR) data offers a promising foundation for real-world evidence\, yet its utility is often severely limited by the reality of fragmented\, imperfect data and significant heterogeneity across health systems. These inherent data flaws create major bottlenecks in generating evidence efficiently\, often resulting in fragile models that are highly susceptible to data shift and rapid aging. Consequently\, the challenge lies not just in accessing data\, but in efficiently transforming these messy\, disparate sources into reliable\, enduring AI solutions.This presentation outlines a comprehensive strategy to overcome these limitations and derive robust clinical insights from imperfect data. We will discuss how representation learning can address data sparsity and fragmentation by extracting stable latent features from incomplete patient histories. To tackle system heterogeneity and ensure model longevity\, we introduce robust transfer learning frameworks designed to immunize algorithms against distributional shifts. Furthermore\, we demonstrate how leveraging knowledge networks can bridge gaps in fragmented data by grounding models in broader biomedical context. Complementing these structural approaches\, we touch upon the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to identify clinical outcomes not directly available in structured fields\, solving the problem of unobserved endpoints. By integrating these diverse methodologies\, we aim to establish a blueprint for efficiently building AI ecosystems that remain reliable and durable despite the complexities of real-world healthcare data.

These still-enigmatic objects are challenging our understanding of the behavior and properties of comets and asteroids. In this talk\, I will review what has been learned to date from the known interstellar objects and dark comets\, highlighting the attributes that are difficult to reconcile with previous models of planetesimal behavior. In particular\, I will focus on the discovery and characterization of the third interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. I will discuss its properties in the context of the host population\, with a focus on what it tells us about planet formation throughout the galaxy. The Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is poised to further transform our understanding of these classes of objects\, and I will discuss the feasibility of future discoveries via ground-based observations as well as possible intercept missions.

One of the major talents of our time.\" –Boston Globe\n\nIn a darkened bedroom\, lit only by the amber glow from an old floor model radio\, two young brothers aged 6 and 12 lay in their beds\, listening to the country music broadcasts from the Grand Ol’ Opry\, and practiced their harmonies. Two years later\, the youngest one was playing the definitive 8-year-old’s version of “Desolation Row” on his ukulele. He soon abandoned that instrument to teach himself the flute\, violin and guitar.\n\nWithin ten years\, and barely out of high school\, Garnet Rogers was on the road as a full-time working musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influential acts in North American folk music.\n\nSince then\, Garnet Rogers has established himself as ‘One of the major talents of our time”. Hailed by the Boston Globe as a “charismatic performer and singer”\, Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence – close to six and a half feet tall – with a voice to match. With his “smooth\, dark baritone” (Washington Post) his incredible range\, and thoughtful\, dramatic phrasing\, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. His music\, like the man himself\, is literate\, passionate\, highly sensitive\, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail\, his songs “give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart” (Kitchener Waterloo Record). An optimist at heart\, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs\, his over-the-top humour and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again.

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.

While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

For many chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D)\, benefit-risk tradeoff is usually an important concern for decision making in the sense that treatments with a higher benefit may lead to an increased risk of adverse outcomes (e.g.\, more intensive insulin treatment may lead to more hypoglycemia events). It is thus desirable to learn the optimal DTRs while constraining the risk to be within a tolerable range. In this talk\, we propose a learning framework for this purpose. The framework allows the risk constraint to be imposed either at each stage for an acute risk outcome\, or cumulatively over all the stages for a long-term risk outcome. Using surrogate loss functions in empirical risk minimization\, the optimal DTRs are obtained by solving a sequence of weighted support vector machine problems in a backward fashion. Theoretically\, we show that the estimated DTRs are Fisher consistent and we further provide the convergence rates for the value and risk functions associated with the estimated DTRs. Lastly\, the proposed method is demonstrated via simulation studies and an application to a two-stage clinical trial for treating T2D.

Opinions range from the view that oak species hybridize relatively rarely to the view that related oaks form syngameons\, near-freely interbreeding complexes of species. Understanding species boundaries and gene flow in oaks is essential to conserving the ca. 425 global oak species on which humans and hundreds to thousands of arthropod\, fungus\, vertebrate\, and plant species depend. In this talk\, I provide an overview of how our understanding of oak species boundaries and hybrids has grown from the early 19th Century to today. Molecular data from the past two decades show that individual oaks exhibit a wide range of mixed-species ancestry\, with as many as 20% of individuals averaged across studies admixed at a level of 10% or higher. This means that hybridization is quite common in many oak species\, and some of the resulting gene flow may play a role in population adaptation and species migration. Nonetheless\, oaks form genetically distinct species\, and that species diversity is crucial to the function of forests\, savannas\, and other oak-dominated forests across much of the northern hemisphere. The lecture will include both historic and recent research.

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:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

Research in the Znosko lab has systematically quantified the energetics of fundamental RNA motifs (hairpins\, internal loops\, mismatches\, and non-canonical pairs) using optical melting. These data have expanded and refined nearest-neighbor parameters\, improving the accuracy of RNA secondary-structure prediction. Complementary algorithmic development and computational studies have enabled the incorporation of these parameters into predictive tools. Bioinformatic analyses have evaluated sequence–structure relationships across large datasets and identified sequence families that exhibit similar structural features\, informing both modeling and design. Together\, these efforts bridge experiment and computation to advance a more predictive framework for RNA folding\, with implications for understanding natural RNA function and engineering RNA-based systems.

Big Text Analysis in IsiXhosa: Religion\, Politics\, and Nationhood in the IsiXhosa Press\, 1870-1890 DESCRIPTION:This talk explores how African language digital archives and new methods of computational text analysis can bring fresh insights for reconstructing African intellectual lineages and tracing historical developments.\n\nThe talk details the creation of a digital archive of the earliest African language newspapers in South Africa and shows how Xhosa language computational text analysis can be used to bring a ‘distant reading’ to this archive. Where much previous work has focused on individual African thinkers\, this approach allows us to see a collective intellectual community co-creating foundational ideas that grounded new intellectual and political responses to colonialism. I demonstrate this by examining changing discourse among early Xhosa intellectuals\, journalists\, and political activists writing in these papers. I examine how early discourse from missionary-educated Xhosa communities shifted from a focus on spiritual concerns to political engagement\, revealing a surprisingly early reorientation from ‘other worldly’ to ‘worldly’ concerns and sources of power. I also examine how competing conceptions of nationhood emerged in the Xhosa language\, and trace how these conceptions rose and fell in these early years.\n \nJonathan Schoots is a historical and political sociologist specializing in the study of colonialism and empire\, political movements\, and knowledge production\, with a particular focus on South Africa. His research employs both qualitative and computational methods to explore conditions that facilitate the emergence of new political frameworks. His work has focused on the intellectuals\, organizations\, and newspapers that played a pivotal role in shaping political thought and practice during the emergence of African nationalism in South Africa.\n \nSchoots is a lecturer (assistant professor) in the Department of Sociology at Wits University. He has published work in theory and society\, poetics\, development in practice and other venues. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago (2021).

It drives economic development\, organizational growth\, and increases in social complexity\, capacity\, and heterogeneity. Discussions of specialization in the social sciences contain an undocumented but significant ambiguity. The term specialization is used to refer to both the division of labor\, in which tasks are divided into complementary processes or components\, and differentiation\, in which units choose tasks that are different from each other. Despite a long history in which the two types of coordination are used interchangeably under the term ‘specialization\,’ we demonstrate that the division of labor and differentiation thrive in opposite social conditions. Using computational models\, we found that variation in basic social conditions had opposite effects for the two different coordination processes: increasing social density encouraged the division of labor and inhibited differentiation and increasing the number of specializations encouraged differentiation and inhibited the division of labor. Since specialization is central to economic development\, there is value in understanding the conditions that foster it. We show that encouraging specialization requires disambiguating the two distinct types of coordination.

In this talk\, we present a new formula that complements Okada and Stembridge's Pfaffian formula. The combinatorial interpretation of the new formula gives a reflection principle for nonintersecting paths. It implies that the enumeration of families of nonintersecting paths with unfixed ending points can be resolved by enumerating families of nonintersecting paths with fixed ending points instead. Using this formula\, we also show that the enumeration of lozenge tilings of a large family of regions with free boundaries can be deduced from those without free boundaries and present several applications of this result.

The required initial data is comprised of a (usually complete) n-dimensional Riemannian manifold equipped with a symmetric (0\,2)-tensor\, respectively representing a spatially global \"instant in time\" and the \"initial velocity\" of the metric. The Gauss-Codazzi equations imply that not every such pair is admissible\, however\, and a working initial data set must satisfy certain nonlinear elliptic PDE’s dubbed the constraint equations. In this talk\, I will discuss recent work with several collaborators on the construction of working asymptotically flat initial data sets in which various asymptotic features of physical interest can be prescribed.\n\nContact: AIM Seminar Organizers UID:141894-21889609@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141894 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260115T152159 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260123T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260123T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Can ‘Slavic’ Speak for Minorities? — Who Gets to Belong in Eastern Europe? - Talk 4 DESCRIPTION:In the last four decades the popularity of Balkan \"Gypsy\" music has exploded\, becoming a staple at world music festivals and dance clubs in the United States and Western Europe.

In this heightened atmosphere of xenophobia\, entrenched stereotypes have arisen amidst deportations and harassment. Roma\, as Europe’s largest minority and one of its quintessential “historic others\,” face the paradox that they are revered for their music yet reviled as people.

Prior to Pangea (300-150 Ma)\, the preceding giant landmasses of Rodinia (1000-700 Ma) and Nuna (1600-1300 Ma) have been increasingly resolved in recent years by the combined efforts of chronostratigraphy\, paleomagnetism\, and kinematic synthesis. An earlier supercontinent Kenorland (ca. 2600-2200 Ma) has been postulated but heretofore only visualized in general aspects. As reconstructions progress deeper in time\, one must be increasingly cautious of standard assumptions such as an axial-dipolar geomagnetic field\, the total inventory of continental crust\, and even whether plate tectonics existed. Mindful of these caveats\, I present a viable kinematic model of Kenorland’s assembly\, tenure\, and breakup through the Archean-Proterozoic interval that also witnessed the Great Oxidation Event\, possible Snowball Earth ice ages\, and eukaryotic development.

Leonard is a citizen of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma and an associate professor of Native American Studies at the University of California\, Riverside. Drawing from his training in linguistics and experience in community-based language programs\, he works to build capacity for Native American language reclamation\, a community-driven and decolonial form of language work that includes but goes beyond what is widely referred to as language revitalization. He also co-developed the Natives4Linguistics project\, which promotes Native American research protocols and intellectual tools for doing linguistic science.\n\nColloquium Title: Indigenous Peoples\, Ethics\, and Linguistic Data: Approaches to Decolonizing Linguistics\n\nAbstract: Despite the increasing focus on justice\, equity\, diversity\, and inclusion in the discipline of Linguistics\, members of Native American and other Indigenous communities remain underrepresented––and often report feeling unwelcome. A recurring concern is that Linguistics is not accountable to Indigenous histories\, protocols\, and ways of engaging with language communities and linguistic data. A wider issue is that colonization is endemic\, and disciplinary norms have developed accordingly.\n\nWhat changes when Native American and other Indigenous intellectual approaches serve as the baseline from which linguistic research and pedagogy are approached? Drawing from my professional experiences as a linguist\, Miami tribal member engaged in community language efforts\, and co-founder of the Natives4Linguistics project\, which aims to reimagine Linguistics through Native American ways of knowing\, I engage with this question and offer several interventions.

The program includes Franz Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet in C Major\, op. 54\, no. 2\; Derrick Skye’s *American Mirror\, Part 1*\; and Béla Bartók’s String Quartet no. 2.\n\nHaydn’s Quartet in C Major evokes a spirit of ambition and experimentation with musical form. The intricacy and deeply expressive nature of the melodies across its four movements reflected Haydn’s engaging instincts as a composer. Composer Derrick Skye says\, \"*American Mirror* reflects on the coming together of cultures in our society\, which consists of many generations and descendants of refugees\, immigrants\, and slaves\, and how intercultural collaborations are essential to the well-being of American society.” The piece infuses influences from West African\, North African\, and Eastern European vocal techniques and ornamentations with open harmonies commonly found in Appalachian folk music. Bartók’s second quartet exhibits his immersion into what he called the “purest music” – that of the remote Hungarian countryside – a style he sought to absorb and recreate as a new form of highly complex concert music.\n\nABOUT TELEGRAPH QUARTET\nErin Chin & Joseph Maile\, violins\nPei-Ling Lin\, viola\nJeremiah Shaw\, cello\n\nThe TELEGRAPH QUARTET formed in 2013 with an equal passion for standard and contemporary chamber music repertoire. Described by the *San Francisco Chronicle* as “…an incredibly valuable addition to the cultural landscape” and “powerfully adept… with a combination of brilliance and subtlety\,” the Telegraph Quartet was awarded the prestigious 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. The quartet is currently the quartet-in-residence at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe quartet has performed in New York City’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center\, San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre\, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s *Chamber Masters Series*\, and at festivals including the Chautauqua Institute\, Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival\, and the Emilia Romagna Festival. They have collaborated with pianists Leon Fleisher and Simone Dinnerstein\; cellists Norman Fischer and Bonnie Hampton\; violinist Ian Swensen\; and the St. Lawrence Quartet and Henschel Quartett. A fervent champion of 20th- and 21st-century repertoire\, the Telegraph Quartet has premiered works by Osvaldo Golijov\, John Harbison\, Robert Sirota\, and Richard Festinger.\n\nIn 2023\, the Telegraph Quartet released *20th Century Vantage Points: Divergent Paths*\, the first in a trilogy of recordings on Azica Records exploring the string quartets of the first half of the 20th century – an era of music that the group has felt especially called to perform since its formation. *Divergent Paths* features two works that (to the best of the quartet’s knowledge) have never been recorded on the same album before: Maurice Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major and Arnold Schoenberg’s String Quartet no. 1 in D minor\, op. 7. The quartet’s new album\, *20th Century Vantage Points: Edge of the Storm* is out now on Azica Records.\n\nwww.telegraphquartet.com UID:141907-21889622@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141907 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,Music,North Campus LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Stamps Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251110T181714 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260123T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260123T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:U-M Chamber Choir with New York Philharmonic at Lincoln Center DESCRIPTION:The New York Philharmonic\, America’s oldest operating symphony orchestra\, will welcome the University of Michigan Chamber Choir and the chorus EXIGENCE\, both directed by Professor Eugene Rogers\, to the stage of the Wu Tsai Theater in David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center.

Laith Al-Saadi has always had the perfect combination of Midwestern hustle and incredible musical chops—honed at the University of Michigan school of music in his hometown of Ann Arbor\, and on stages across the country working with legends like Taj Mahal\, Luther Allison\, Buddy Guy\, Son Seals\, Gregg Allman\, and B.B. King. \n\n“Laith is one of the most diverse talents we have\,” said Maroon 5 frontman and “The Voice” coach Adam Levine. “Incredible guitar player\, incredible singer.” \n\nEntertainment Weekly called Laith Al-Saadi “a power performer who is so legitimate and memorable.” \n\nAudiences have agreed\, propelling Laith’s album “REAL” to the top of the blues chart for five weeks and the top 20 album chart for two weeks. Guitar World Magazine has called Laith Al-Saadi a cross between \"Danny Gatton and Buddy Guy at their best\,” and in 2006 Guitar Center crowned him one of the top four blues guitarists in the United States.

Siblings Bekah\, Caleb\, and Joshua Liechty grew up making music together but officially formed their band in 2019\, hitting the road with a self-funded tour and their debut EP\, Another World. Their tight harmonies and heartfelt songwriting captivated audiences\, leading them to make history as the first group to win The Voice. \n\nSince then\, the trio has sold over 100\,000 tickets across 40 states\, headlined nationwide tours\, and performed at the Grand Ole Opry\, the Indianapolis 500\, and on The Ellen Show. They’ve shared the stage with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra\, Kelsea Ballerini\, Lady A\, and Pentatonix\, but their signature sound remains unmistakably their own—fusing folk\, pop\, and sibling magic to create music that moves the soul. \n\nIn April 2026\, Girl Named Tom will hit the road on a nationwide tour promoting their new album\, Dust to Dust. The momentum will keep rolling with a performance on NBC’s The Voice in early April\, alongside an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show shortly thereafter.
