SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Dissertation Defense Seminar: Suji Ye
DESCRIPTION:Plants rely on a two-tiered immune system\, consisting of pattern-triggered immunity (PTI initiated by cell-surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI) activated by intracellular NOD-like (NLR) immune receptors. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Kristen Fichthorn\, Penn State University
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nSimple\, inorganic atoms can arrange themselves in myriad ways\, both ordinary and extraordinary\, that have become the foundation of nanotechnology.  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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Why Place Matters: The “Publicness” of the Lost Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 1010\, Weiser Hall\, and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at https://myumi.ch/P3Z9P.\n   \n   This lecture is based on Dr. Horikawa’s 41 years of intensive fieldwork\, chronicling a major movement that shaped preservation policy in Japan. It tries to provide a clear answer to the century-old question: why does place matter? Dr. Horikawa illustrates how the movement to preserve the Otaru Canal in Otaru\, Japan\, was neither conservative nor an obstacle\, demonstrating that preservation can allow for and even promote change.\n   \n   Saburo Horikawa is a professor of urban & environmental sociology at Hosei University in Tokyo\, and he received his Ph.D. from Keio University. He has won three major academic awards\, including one from the discipline of city planning\, for his book published by the University of Tokyo Press. The English edition of the book\, *Why Place Matters: A Sociological Study of the Historic Preservation Movement in Otaru\, Japan\, 1965–2017\,* was published by Springer and was reviewed in the *Journal of the American Planning Association.*\n   \n   Photo credit: The Rikisha in front of Old Mitsui Bank in Otaru\, Hokkaido\n   Copyright © 2015 by Saburo Horikawa.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Non-invasive Histotripsy Cancer Treatment: The Road from Bench to Bedside\nAbstract:\nHistotripsy is the first non-invasive\, non-ionizing\, and non-thermal ablation technology that is based on ultrasound and invented by Dr. Xu and her colleagues at the University of Michigan. 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. She has published 140 peer-reviewed journal papers and has been awarded $50+ millions of external grant funding. She has 36 issued US and international patents. She is a principal investigator of grants funded by NIH\, Office of Navy Research\, American Cancer Association\, and Focused Ultrasound Foundation. She is the co-founder of HistoSonics. HistoSonics is valued at $3 billions through a recent private acquisition.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:January Water@Michigan Coffee Talk
DESCRIPTION:Talk Description: Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Potential in the Great Lakes \n\nAs Michigan advances toward a clean-energy future\, energy storage has become increasingly essential for ensuring the reliability and resilience of the state’s power system. 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

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"Divergent Small Bodies: Interstellar Interlopers and Dark Comets\"\n\nIn recent years\, two entirely new classes of planetesimals have been discovered in the solar system: interstellar interlopers and dark comets. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: Geometry of Riemann surfaces through the lens of probability
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this talk is to showcase how we can use stochastic processes to study the geometry of surfaces. After recalling basic facts about surfaces with constant curvature\, their length spectrum\, and Brownian motion on them\, we use the Brownian loop measure to express the lengths of closed geodesics on a hyperbolic surface and zeta-regularized determinant of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. This gives a tool to study the length spectra of a hyperbolic surface and we obtain a new identity between the length spectrum of a compact surface and that of the same surface with an arbitrary number of additional cusps.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Bur oak evolution and its impact on the forest
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - The bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa) is a foundation of eastern North American forests and savannas. It is massive\, long-lived\, strong\, and enormously variable. But the bur oak is no lone wolf: it exchanges genes with other oak species from the Black Hills to Vermont\, and from northern Minnesota to Texas. This talk will provide an overview of ongoing rangewide and reciprocal transplant studies of bur oaks undertaken as part of a collaborative NSF - NSFC Dimensions of Biodiversity project\, “Consequences of diversity in Asian and American tree syngameons for functional variation\, adaptation and symbiont biodiversity.” It will present analyses of genomic\, trait\, mycorrhizal\, and gall wasp data to provide an integrative view of how bur oaks and their relatives shape the forest.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Deepa Butoliya
DESCRIPTION:\n\nDeepa Butoliya is a designer\, researcher\, and educator whose work celebrates human ingenuity and creativity in the face of constraint. Born and raised in India and now based in the United States\, she explores how design practices from around the world—especially those rooted in improvisation\, resilience\, and care—can expand how we think about innovation.\n\nHer ongoing research centers on Jugaad\, a Hindi term meaning “making do with what you have.” More than a practice\, Jugaad represents a mindset of resourcefulness and adaptability. Deepa’s work traces this spirit of everyday creativity across cultures and connects it to movements of resistance and repair. In Detroit\, she co-curated Jugaad in the D: Ingenuity and Resistance in Detroit and Motown Masala\, exhibitions that highlight the city’s vibrant culture of grassroots innovation and collective resilience.\n\nTrained as both an architect and industrial designer\, Butoliya holds degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and the University of Illinois at Chicago. She has taught at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Illinois at Chicago\, and has worked with organizations including the Development Lab at MIT and GE Healthcare. Her research and workshops have been presented at international conferences such as IDSA\, Making Futures\, EPIC\, CHI\, IASDR\, and Speculative Futures.\n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:Performance:Garnet Rogers
DESCRIPTION:\"A brilliant songwriter. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Donglin Zeng\, Professor\, Department of Biostatistics\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Dynamic treatment regimens (DTRs) are sequential decisions over one or more stages that tailor treatments to individual characteristics and their intermediate outcomes. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB RMC Friday Seminar Series - The Nature of Oak Species
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Plant biologists have debated the nature of oak species for more than 200 years. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Predicting RNA Secondary/Tertiary Structure: Thermodynamic and Bioinformatic Approaches
DESCRIPTION:Predicting RNA structure and stability from sequence requires a deep integration of experimental thermodynamics with computational modeling. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASC Event.  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).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Specialization\, the Division of Labor\, and Explorations in Property Distribution
DESCRIPTION:Specialization is a process where individuals\, groups\, or organizations focus on one task or area of knowledge. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A reflection principle for nonintersecting paths and lozenge tilings with free boundaries (Combinatorics seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Okada and Stembridge's Pfaffian formula for the enumeration of families of nonintersecting paths with fixed starting points and unfixed ending points has been widely used to resolve many challenging problems in enumerative combinatorics. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Relativistic Initial Data Sets with Prescribed Asymptotics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  In General Relativity\, Einstein's equation may be viewed as a second-order system of nonlinear PDE's for the Lorentzian metric on (n+1)-dimensional spacetime that admits an initial value formulation. 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

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. At the same time\, thousands of Balkan Roma have emigrated westward due to deteriorating living conditions\, racist threats and increased violence. 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. This illustrated lecture will explore the challenges Balkan Roma face as well as their resilience in transnational sites.\n\nThis is a hybrid event\, please register here: https://myumi.ch/y14ew

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | CFT Data\, QFT RG Flows\, and the Fuzzy Sphere
DESCRIPTION:The CFT data -- scaling dimensions and OPE coefficients -- of high dimension operators contains valuable information about the theory and its deformations\, but is traditionally unobtainable outside of integrable models. We will review how the fuzzy sphere regulator allows numeric access to much of this data in the 3d Ising model\, and show how to exploit the emergent conformal generators of the theory to significantly improve it.  We discuss some of the applications of this data\, including tests of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis and the spectrum of masses of the QFTs in the vicinity of the critical point.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Hyperkahler varieties and compactified \"Jacobian\" fibrations
DESCRIPTION:Hyperkahler varieties\, also known as holomorphically symplectic manifolds\, are the algebraic versions of symplectic manifolds\, and can be thought of as higher-dimensional analogues of K3 surfaces. One of the more interesting ways they arise are from the total spaces of some degeneration of abelian varieties. I'll explain some of these notions and some examples where these arise.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Van der Voo Lecture: David Evans
DESCRIPTION:Mobility of tectonic plates has resulted in amalgamations of supercontinents every ~700 million years for at least the latter half of Earth history.  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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics MLK Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Linguistics MLK Colloquium will occur on Friday\, January 23\, 2026\, with Wesley Leonard (UC Riverside) as the speaker.\n\nWesley Y. 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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Telegraph Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed Telegraph Quartet\, now in residency at the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, performs a recital.\n\nKnown for their technical prowess and appreciation for the history behind music\, the members of the Telegraph Quartet bring their fluid synchronicity and refined artistry to a program titled *From Countryside to Concert Hall*  – a concert that showcases how three composers adapted\, adopted\, or fully embodied folk music\, bringing the rustic and unassuming spirit of that idiom into the bright light of the concert stage. 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

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\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.

DESCRIPTION:2025 ‧ Drama ‧ 1h 44 min ‧ Unrated\n\nView the trailer at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jgjr2KXU67o\n   \n   Big Deal is a drama that offers a high-stakes\, semi-autobiographical look at the corporate battle waged during the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Starring Yoo Hae-jin and Lee Je-hoon\, the story is loosely based on the real-life sale of Jinro soju. It follows Pyo Jong-rok (Yoo Hae-jin)\, the loyal financial director of the nation's number one soju company\, Gukbo Group\, who is desperately trying to save the brand from bankruptcy. He is pitted against Choi In-beom (Lee Je-hoon)\, a young\, ambitious associate from a global investment firm aiming to acquire Gukbo and sell it off for profit. The film is a dramatic clash of corporate ideals and personal loyalties\, where the fate of Korea's most iconic working-class liquor becomes a symbol of the nation's economic identity.\n   \n   Directed by Choi Yun-jin\n   Presented in Korean with English subtitles\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at outreachkorea@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Julie Ault and Julie Herrada
DESCRIPTION:Special Event: 4:00 p.m. on Saturday\, January 24\, 2026 at UMMA's Helmut Stern Auditorium. RSVP Required.\n\nJoin us for a powerful conversation between artist and curator Julie Ault and archivist Julie Herrada as we celebrate the opening of American Sampler: Activating the Archive\, UMMA’s new landmark exhibition. Together\, they’ll discuss how archival research\, curatorial practice\, and artistic vision come together in the exhibition to illuminate histories of dissent that continue to influence the social landscape of the United States.\n\nAmerican Sampler: Activating the Archive is a research-driven\, immersive exhibition curated by MacArthur Fellow Julie Ault in UMMA’s Vertical Gallery\, in collaboration with the Joseph A. Labadie Collection of anarchism\, protest\, and social movements housed in the U-M Library’s Special Collections Research Center. The exhibition centers on 1950s–1970s movements for Black freedom\, civil rights\, and antiwar activism\, clarifying the aspirations and effects as well as the violent opposition these movements encountered. American Sampler invites visitors to examine how legacies of grassroots organizing and protest in U.S. history shape the present. This ambitious project is the inaugural collaboration of the new Labadie Collection and UMMA Fellowship Program. \n\nJulie Ault is an artist and writer whose practice explores how histories are retold and their influence on the present. Working across exhibition-making\, research\, publication\, and archiving\, she examines how cultural production is shaped by and can intervene in social and political systems. Ault’s exhibitions include Paper Mirror: Nancy Spero (Museo Tamayo and MoMA PS1\, 2018–19)\, Afterlife: a constellation (Whitney Biennial\, 2014)\, and Cultural Economies: Histories from the Alternative Arts Movement (The Drawing Center\, 1996). Her publications include Felix Gonzalez-Torres (2006)\, Come Alive: The Spirited Art of Sister Corita (2006)\, and DUETS: Julie Ault &amp\; David Deitcher in Conversation on William Olander (2021)\, among others. Ault was a founding member of the artists’ collaborative Group Material (1979–1996)\, whose exhibitions addressed critical issues\, including AIDS Timeline (1989). In 2018 she was awarded the MacArthur Fellowship for “redefining the role of the artwork and the artist” through her multi-modal practice.\n\nJulie Herrada is the Curator of the Joseph A. Labadie Collection at the University of Michigan’s Special Collections Research Center\, overseeing materials on international social protest movements. In this role she introduces classes to the study of primary sources\, curates exhibits\, assists global researchers\, and works to preserve and share overlooked histories. Highlights of her outreach include organizing the 50th anniversaries of the Port Huron Statement (2012) and the first Teach-In against the Vietnam War (2015). She has published book reviews and journal articles\, including the widely cited Letters to the Unabomber. Her notable exhibitions include The Whole World Was Watching: Protest and Revolution in 1968\; Soapboxers &amp\; Saboteurs: 100 Years of Wobbly Solidarity\; and Joseph Labadie and His Gift to Michigan: A Legacy for the Masses.\n\nPresented in partnership with the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, on the opening of their new landmark exhibition American Sampler: Activating the Archive.\n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Consequences of Faculty Sexual Misconduct
DESCRIPTION:Faculty sexual misconduct targeted at students is a widespread problem. The consequences of such incidents include direct harm to victims and may also entail a loss to science if students who encounter misconduct become discouraged from continuing their studies in their chosen field. This study links publicly available information on degree completion by institution\, academic field\, and gender to a database of faculty sexual misconduct incidents verified in the media or court cases. Then\, a stacked event study approach is taken to document the extent to which faculty sexual misconduct decreases in-field degree completion.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra Seminar: Subadditivity of Shifts for Monomial Ideals and Shuffle products in Lattices
DESCRIPTION:We prove that the maximal shifts in the minimal free resolution of a monomial ideal form a subadditive sequence\, settling a conjecture of Avramov\, Conca and Iyengar. To do so\, we develop explicit chain-level models for the homology of posets and lattices\, introduce an Eilenberg–Zilber–type shuffle product in the lattice setting\, and use it to derive nonvanishing criteria for lattice homology classes that yield the desired subadditivity of maximal shifts. The talk is based on joint work with K. Adiprasito\, A. Björner\, M. Margaritis\, and V. Welker (arXiv:2404.16643).\n\nThis is a hybrid talk.

DESCRIPTION:Anastasia Makhanova\nUniversity of Arkansas\nJan. 26\, 2026\n\nABOUT THE SERIES\n\nThe Winter 2026 RCGD Seminar Series: The Ties that Bond: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Social Connection\n\nThis seminar series brings together senior and early-career scholars to explore fundamental questions about how we connect\, protect\, and care. Talks will highlight lifespan and comparative approaches to understanding social connection\, physiological implications of social and race-related stressors\, and diverse conceptualizations of what it means to belong—from romantic and parent–child relationships to group and societal dynamics to technology-mediated interactions.\n\nRobin Edelstein\, Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan and an affiliate of the Research Center for Group Dynamics\, has organized this series. She will introduce the series at this kick-off event that doubles as a faculty meeting.\n\nThe first seminar in the series will be Jan. 26. Join us on Mondays to learn about the biological\, social\, and developmental pathways that shape human connection.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Robin Edelstein\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Ring of Modular forms on certain unitary Shimura Varieties
DESCRIPTION:The modular forms on the quotient $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash \mathcal{H}$ can be viewed as $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$-invariant holomorphic differentials on $\mathcal{H}$. Interpreting $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash \mathcal{H}$ as the moduli space of elliptic curves\, these forms can equivalently be described as global sections of the Hodge line bundle. A natural question is whether this perspective extends beyond $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$.\n\nIn this talk\, I will introduce modular forms on certain Shimura varieties and illustrate the definitions through a sequence of examples: Hilbert modular surfaces\, unitary Shimura curves\, and finally a unitary Shimura surface arising from a special family of cyclic covers of $\mathbb{P}^1$. I will explain how the geometry of this family makes the Hodge line bundle computable\, and how level structure on the Shimura variety can be interpreted concretely in this setting.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Painlevé Universality class for the maximal amplitude solution of the Focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with randomness
DESCRIPTION:In this work\, we establish universality results for the $N$-soliton solution of the focusing NLS equation at maximal amplitude. Specifically\, we choose the associated normalization constants so that the solution achieves its maximal peak\, which\, in the large-$N$ limit\, satisfies a Painlevé-type equation independently of the distribution of the (random) discrete eigenvalues. We identify two distinct universality classes\, determined by the structure of the discrete eigenvalues: the \textit{Painlevé--III} and \textit{Painlevé--V} rogue-wave solutions. In the Painlevé--III case\, the eigenvalues take the form $\lambda_j = v_j + i \mu_j$\, while for Painlevé--V they satisfy $\lambda_j = -\zeta \\, j + v_j + i \mu_j$\, with $0 < \zeta < 1$. In both cases\, $v_j$ and $\mu_j$ are sub-exponential random variables. Universality can then be summarized as follows: regardless of the specific realizations of the amplitudes and velocities\, provided they are sub-exponential random variables and the normalization constants are chosen to maximize the \(N\)-soliton solution\, the resulting maximal peak always corresponds to either a Painlevé--III or Painlevé--V rogue-wave profile in the large-$N$ limit.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Artist's Reception and Talk \n-- \n\nCurrently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. 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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCEE Lecture. AI for National and International Security: Opportunities Without Losing Control
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping how we understand and address conflict. This talk introduces emerging tools at the intersection of AI and Digital Twin technologies that enhance early-warning systems\, support mediation\, and strengthen peacebuilding efforts. By combining computational modeling with human-centered conflict transformation\, these approaches offer new ways to anticipate risks and design more responsive interventions.\n   Drawing on global developments and an example scenario from the Western Balkans\, the lecture underscores both the opportunities and the risks associated with introducing AI into fragile political contexts. It stresses that although AI can strengthen dialogue\, enhance foresight\, and support institutional coordination\, its true value relies on robust human oversight and strong ethical governance.\n   \n   Driart Elshani is professor of information and communication technologies at the American University in Kosovo. He has contributed to multiple projects focused on leveraging information technology for development across both government and industry sectors. Professor Elshani's areas of expertise include artificial intelligence (AI)\, e-governance\, and cybersecurity. He was educated at the University of Brussels\, where he earned his Bachelor’s\, Master’s\, and PhD in information sciences and technologies. Professor Elshani is visiting U-M in September 2025 to complete research on a project entitled “Impact of AI on conflict transformation and peacebuilding” in collaboration with Thomas Finholt\, professor of information.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

As artificial intelligence reshapes our workplaces\, Jennifer explores a vital question: how do we ensure people still feel valued\, needed\, and significant when machines can outperform us? Drawing on years of research and reporting for her forthcoming book \"Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose\,\" Jennifer shows why mattering—feeling valued and having the opportunity to add value—is not a “soft” concept\, but a fundamental human need and a strategic imperative for organizations navigating technological change. This session offers practical insights for building workplaces where technology amplifies—not replaces—human contribution\, and where every employee feels empowered to create cultures of mattering for one another.\n\nHost:\nEthan Kross\, Professor of Psychology and Management & Organizations\, University of Michigan\; Faculty Associate\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nPartner: \nInstitute for Mental Fitness

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. 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.

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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. 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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Speciation\, extinction\, and the ecology of macroevolution
DESCRIPTION:Description: The causes of biodiversity patterns at the largest scales of time and space remain poorly understood. In this talk\, I examine the relationship between these dynamic patterns of biological diversity and rates of evolutionary diversification\, and I evaluate progress in linking microevolutionary processes to speciation and extinction at macroevolutionary scales. I argue that biodiversity dynamics across space\, time\, and clades reflect an underlying causal unity shaped by ecological modulation of diversification. However\, further progress will require much deeper integration of traditional microevolutionary biology with population ecology and paleobiology.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Rapping Minority-ness: Rap as Vernacular Theory in China
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to recognize ethnic minority rappers as cultural theorists in China? This talk approaches minority rap\, with a particular focus on Tibetan rap\, not merely as music but as a vernacular theory of life emerging from the margins. Caught in a paradox\, ethnic minorities are hyper-visible as objects of state governance\, yet rarely heard in shaping the terms through which they are understood and represented. Drawing on lyrics\, artist interviews\, documentaries\, and audience commentary\, Dr. Tso will show how rappers reconfigure marginality into epistemic advantage\, producing alternative vocabularies and frameworks for understanding minority experiences\, aspirations\, and social relations. In this reconfiguration\, minority-ness is reimagined as immediate\, relational\, and generative. By foregrounding the analytical insights of these vernacular thinkers\, this talk illuminates new ways of thinking about power\, voice\, and belonging in China.\n   \n   Bendi Tso is a sociocultural anthropologist whose work focuses on borderlands\, nationalism\, ethnicity\, and oral traditions in China. Her research draws on ethnographic methods to examine China’s ethnic minorities beyond the dominant analytical lens of ethnicity. She is currently developing a book project that explores how disparate Tibetan subgroups on the Sino-Tibetan borderland negotiate essentialized notions of Tibetanness in a landscape marked by ambiguity and transition. She is a postdoctoral fellow at the Kenneth G. Lieberthal and Richard H. Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan.\n   \n   In-person talk only.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Translating the Frontier: Just War and Free Circulation on the Roads of Colonial Mexico
DESCRIPTION:With the “Hear\, Here” series\, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\n\nIn 1618\, colonial Mexican officials established a city called Córdoba along the highway between Mexico City and Veracruz to secure silver shipments from attacks by African maroons. Strikingly\, they described the city as both a “frontier” and a “frontier fort.” This talk reads the new city as a translation of the technologies of war from the frontier to the center and traces a discursive shift from just war to economic circulation that accompanied it.\n\nDaniel Nemser is a 2025-26 John Rich Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and  Associate Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SRC Seminar Series Presents: Parents\, Neighborhoods\, and the Developing Brain
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis talk will describe research examining how parents and neighborhood disadvantage are related to brain function. The talk will focus on a population ecological neuroscience approach to understanding how poverty “gets under the skin” to impact brain development. Specifically\, the talk will describe research linking parenting and neighborhood risk to neural function in emotion and regulatory regions of the brain using representative samples with enrichment for exposure to disadvantage. Additionally\, the talk will cover current and future directions using novel designs (experimental\, twin) to get closer to causal models.\n\nBio:\nLuke Williamson Hyde is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan. He received his PhD in Clinical and Developmental Psychology with a concentration in cognitive neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Hyde’s research focuses on how adversity and inequality impact the developing child from the preschool years through early adulthood\, as well as how these experiences shape brain and behavioral development. This work has been funded by multiple awards from the National Institutes of Health and has been recognized by a variety of early career awards from multiple scientific organizations including the American Psychological Association and Association for Psychological Science.\n\nMeeting ID: 993 5134 5515\nPasscode: 265270

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Derived Fun: Towards Homotopical Algebra
DESCRIPTION:Derived functors play a central role in commutative algebra\, organizing algebraic computations through exact sequences and homological methods. This talk begins with a brief conceptual revisit of derived functors in homological algebra\, and then examines Kähler differentials of commutative rings as a motivating example for why we want derived functors beyond abelian categories. \n\nTo address this problem\, we trace Dan Quillen’s insight that homotopical methods provide an ideal framework for defining derived functors in nonabelian settings. Along the way\, we encounter his definition of model categories\, which have since become central tools in modern homotopy theory. From this perspective\, the cotangent complex arises as a derived replacement for Kähler differentials. We will outline the construction of the cotangent complex and discuss some of its powerful applications to deformation theory. Time permitting\, I will say something about how the homotopical viewpoint reconciles with homological algebra.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: Topology\, graphs\, and data
DESCRIPTION:This talk will be an introduction to the emerging area of discrete\nhomotopy theory\, which applies intuitions and techniques from the\ncontinuous setting to discrete objects such as graphs. It has found a\nbroad range of applications\, both within and outside mathematics\,\nincluding to matroid theory\, hyperplane arrangements\, and data analysis.\n\nI will discuss two of my own contributions to discrete homotopy theory\,\none more theoretical and one more applied. The first is a proof\, joint\nwith D. Carranza (Compos. Math.\, 2024)\, of the conjecture by E. Babson\,\nH. Barcelo\, M. de Longueville\, and R. Laubenbacher that discrete\nhomotopy groups can be topologically realized. The second\, joint with N.\nKershaw (arXiv:2506.15020)\, builds on this result and introduces a new\nmethod of data analysis\, which we call persistent discrete homology. We\nshow that in addition to its utility for clustering\, it can detect other\ngeometric features of a data set. It is furthermore highly noise\nresistant\, and as such provides a powerful alternative to the usual\nmethods of (unsupervised) machine learning\, especially in areas subject\nto high uncertainty\, such as seismology or crime linkage.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Private Violence and the Law in Late Chosŏn Korea
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/QwX2k\n\nThis lecture examines how the Chosŏn State addressed the problem of private violence\, focusing on adultery-related homicides. While the State criminalized adultery under legal codes\, the law allowed a notable exception that justified private violence: if a husband killed his wife and her lover when caught in the act\, he could be exempt from punishment. By the late eighteenth century\, the exception was more broadly interpreted\, extending leniency to other kin\, such as sons and brothers-in-law\, and loosening the requirement that the killing occur immediately at the scene. Did these developments reflect a weakening of state authority\, or a different logic of governance? The lecture argues that they embodied the state’s effort to reconcile centralized legal authority with Confucian ideals of familial honor\, thereby illuminating how Chosŏn Korea negotiated the boundary between public governance and private moral obligation.\n   \nHa-kyoung Lee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at the Academy of Korean Studies. Her research investigates the intersections of law\, authority\, and governance in premodern Asia\, with a particular emphasis on the legislative processes and legal practices of Chosŏn Korea (1392–1910). She is currently working on two projects: Confucian Moral Ethics\, Moral Crimes\, and the State in Chosŏn Korea (funded by the National Research Foundation\, 2025-2027) and Koreans’ Legal Literacy: Its Historical Formation and Development (supported by the Institute for Legal Studies at Yonsei University\, 2025-2031). Her recent publications include “Roles and Challenges of Legal Officials During King Chŏngjo’s Reign\,” The Journal of Korean Studies (forthcoming in Vol. 31\, no. 2\, 2026). This lecture draws from her ongoing research as a Visiting Scholar at the Nam Center for Korean Studies\, University of Michigan.\n   \n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Presentation:Museums in Time of Polycrisis
DESCRIPTION:As a global polycrisis continues to impact modern day life\, perhaps no other institution is experiencing the impact of rapid change more than the American museum. In this talk\, Dr. Moore will identify and name the challenges to museums and the impact on visitors\, communities\, and museum professionals. What is the value of the museum in the 21st century? How can those who love museums fight back to preserve the positive benefits of museums as these institutions work hard to preserve memory\, archive human activity\, and work to tell inclusive\, truthful\, and powerful stories? Dr. Moore will outline the promise of cultural institutions and discuss how we need museums now more than ever to help us make meaning of our lives\, create places of respite and refuge\, and foster welcoming for all communities\; especially those with histories of oppression and marginalization.\n\nDr. Porchia Moore is the Associate Director of the Center for Arts\, Migration\, and Entrepreneurship and Associate Professor and Director of Museum Studies at the University of Florida. She is the Co-Director of the international collaboratory\, The Incluseum\, and the co-founder of the Visitors of Color Project. Her scholarship examines the relationship between digital technologies\, race\, identity\, and communities.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Flyover Country: DIY Music Flyer Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Flyover Country brings together physical reproductions of ephemera and other media from the underground and independent music scenes of the lower Great Lakes region\, spanning from the early 1980s to today. \n\nIn an era when both paper ephemera and digital creations are increasingly fragile and often fleeting\, this exhibit invites viewers to encounter materials not only as sources of information\, but as rare\, expressive artwork shaped by the people\, places\, and moments that produced them.\n\nThe exhibit documents how youth in rural and suburban Midwestern communities have used the tools available to them to build connection\, resilience\, and creative identity\, particularly among artists and musicians from marginalized or underrepresented groups.\n\nYou're invited to take part in drop-in art events to create your own collage-based artwork. Art supplies\, as well as some light refreshments\, will be provided during the drop-in events.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Stamping and Stomping: community inspired relief prints
DESCRIPTION:Currently based in Ann Arbor\, Paloma Núñez-Regueiro is a Mexican printmaker born in Lima\, Peru. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. 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.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Poetic Voice from a Russian Prison: Zhenya Berkovich and her Striking Protest
DESCRIPTION:On April 10\, 2023\, experimental director Zhenya Berkovich and playwright Svetlana Petrichuk were arrested in Russia on charges of “justifying terrorism.” Russian authorities accused them of spreading terrorist propaganda through their play \"Finist\, the Bright Falcon\,\" which through a documentary-style performance attempts to understand what motivated the choices of Russian women\, who met ISIS militants online and traveled to Syria to marry them.\n   \n   Despite the play’s success and numerous awards\, Berkovich and Petrichuk were sentenced to six years in a penal colony. While still in pretrial detention\, Berkovich wrote a cheerful children's book called “Pets\,” in which the characters are animals that inhabit the prison: crows\, rats\, and even cockroaches. From the penal colony\, she continues to send poems and texts filled with observations and hope to the outside world.\n   \n   In this lecture\, journalist and playwright Anna Narinskaya will talk about what Zhenya Berkovich's voice means in today's Russia and beyond.\n   \n   Anna Narinskaya is a Russian journalist\, playwright\, art curator\, and activist. In Russia\, she worked for newspapers Kommersant and Novaya Gazeta\, curated exhibitions at the Pushkin Museum\, the Museum of Modern Art\, and the Jewish Museum\, and collaborated with the Gogol Center. In 2018\, she was one of the organizers of the “March of Mothers” protesting against the persecution of teenagers in Putin's Russia. In 2022\, after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine\, she emigrated to Germany\, where she writes for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and collaborates with the Gorki Theater.\n   \n   Her latest projects include the play \"My Beloved Country\,\" based on the bestselling book by Elena Kostyuchenko\, and the exhibition \"No Such People Here\,\" which tells the story of the oppression of LGBTQ+ people in Chechnya.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematical Biology Seminar: How much data is needed to validate multiscale models of viral infections?
DESCRIPTION:Uncertainty in parameter estimates from fitting mathematical models to empirical data limits the model’s ability to uncover mechanisms of interaction. Understanding the effect of model structure and data availability on model predictions is important for informing model development and experimental design. To address sources of uncertainty in parameter estimation\, I will present methodologies that can help determine when a model can reveal its parameters. I will apply them in the context of virus infections in animals and humans at within-host\, population\, and multiscale levels.  Using these approaches\, I will provide insight into the sources of uncertainty and provide guidelines for the types of model assumptions\, optimal experimental design\, and biological information needed for improved predictions.\n\nThis seminar is hybrid: meeting in Weiser 296 and via Zoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/97725897086\nMeeting ID: 977 2589 7086\nPasscode: mathbio

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MPSDS / JPSM Seminar Series:  Sensitivity Analyses for Nonignorable Selection Bias When Estimating Subgroup Parameters in Nonprobability Samples: A Weighting Approach
DESCRIPTION:MPSDS / JPSM Seminar Series\nMPSDS M3 Series: Mastery\, Methodology\, Meetups\n\nIn person\, room 1070 Institute for Social Research\, and via Zoom. \nThe Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes after the start of the presentation.\n\nSensitivity Analyses for Nonignorable Selection Bias When Estimating Subgroup Parameters in Nonprobability Samples: A Weighting Approach\n\nSelection bias in survey estimates is a major concern\, affecting both nonprobability samples and probability samples with low response rates. The proxy-pattern mixture model (PPMM) offers a method for conducting a sensitivity that assumes a nonignorable selection mechanism\, where selection depends on survey outcomes of interest. This approach requires summary-level auxiliary information for the target population of interest from a reference data source. While PPMM methods have been successfully applied to derive overall population-level estimates\, extension to domain-level estimates is challenging when population-level summaries for the specific subgroup are unavailable. This occurs when the domain indicator is observed only in the survey\, or for complex intersectional subgroups where stable/reliable population-level auxiliary variable estimates are unavailable. To combat this issue\, we propose a novel approach: creating nonignorable selection weights based on the PPMM based on a re-expression of the PPMM as a selection model. These weights can be directly applied to calculate domain-level estimates\, circumventing the need for domain-specific population-level summaries of auxiliary variables. They rely on a single sensitivity parameter (ranging from 0 to 1) that captures a spectrum of nonresponse assumptions\, ranging from an ignorable mechanism to an extreme nonignorable mechanism. We discuss differences in weight construction for continuous versus binary outcomes\, describe the necessary assumptions for these weights to produce informative domain-level estimates\, and illustrate properties through simulation. We then apply the approach to the Census Household Pulse Survey to estimate various subgroup quantities under a range of assumptions on the selection mechanism.\n\nRebecca R.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Power and Partnerships in Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Developing equitable and mutually beneficial partnerships with community members and organizations requires taking a critical look at how power operates in university-community partnerships. This interactive workshop will introduce participants to key principles of equity-focused community engagement and discuss how relationships of power shape university-community partnerships for research and student learning. We’ll consider how power operates in such areas as: the structure and terms of partnership agreements\, participation dynamics in university-community projects\, and funding/compensation. Participants will generate strategies for re-shaping inequitable power dynamics\, share insights with colleagues\, and identify ways to apply key principles to their own community-engaged work. \n\nThis session is designed especially for participants who are involved in (or interested in) community-engaged research\, teaching & learning\, project/program administration\, and/or campus initiatives at Michigan. \n\nOpen to faculty\, staff\, admin\, and post-docs. Graduate students who are interested in attending can email ginsberginfo@umich.edu for more information.\n\nThis session is not open to undergraduate students.\n\nRegister: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/104215

DESCRIPTION:Cardy limit of SUSY indices in diverse dimensions are of interest for studying black hole microstates and supersymmetric gauge dynamics\, among other things. This talk will review recent results on the Cardy limit of the superconformal index of rank-one 3d N=2 gauge theories. We shall encounter mathematical structures reminiscent of those in Seiberg-Witten theory. This motivates future attempts at applying some of the new 3d N=2 techniques to 4d N=2 theories.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives\nKatina Sawyer\nWednesday\, January 28\, 2026\n1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required to obtain login information\nOnline\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/2rQpD\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk:\nA troubling trend is emerging in today’s workplace: employee morale and overall satisfaction are in sharp decline\, despite companies investing more in wellness initiatives than ever before. What’s missing? Contrary to popular beliefs and large investments from companies\, “add-on” offerings like wellness classes\, mindfulness training\, and healthy lifestyle initiatives are not perceived as helpful for improving employee wellness. Many organizations misunderstand wellness―it’s not a program or a box to check. Instead\, employees’ actual day-to-day experiences at work and interactions with their leaders are far more important than wellness programs or initiatives. \n\nLearn about a science-backed blueprint for fostering healthier\, more productive work environments rooted in actionable steps for leaders to become “Generators”―the leaders organizations and employees value most who cultivate genuine connections\, create a positive team culture\, and help employees achieve their work and life goals. Gain a clear\, data-driven path forward and a concrete plan to turn the session’s insights into action―to become the Generators you and others have the potential to be. \n\nAbout Sawyer:\nDr. Katina Sawyer is an internationally recognized expert on the science of workplace wellness. She is the co-author of \"Leading for Wellness: How to Create a Team Culture Where Everyone Thrives\" and co-host of the Leading for Wellness podcast\, which brings research-backed insights to people passionate about building thriving workplaces. As co-founder of Workr Beeing\, Dr. Sawyer is on a mission to make evidence-based wellness strategies accessible to employees everywhere. \n\nA TEDx speaker and a thought leader featured in Harvard Business Review\, Forbes\, Fast Company\, and other major outlets\, Dr. Sawyer has delivered hundreds of presentations to audiences around the world. Her expertise has also been showcased on both local and national news\, where she brings clarity and inspiration to conversations about what it takes to foster wellbeing at work. \n\nDr. Sawyer is also an award-winning researcher and an Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management. She has published over 50 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters — which focus on leadership\, employee flourishing\, and organizational culture — many of which have been published in top journals such as Journal of Applied Psychology and Administrative Science Quarterly. Katina has received over 15 national research and teaching awards\, including the SIOP Early Career Award for Humanistic I-O Psychology\, the University of Michigan’s Positive Organizational Scholarship Publication of the Year\, and Philadelphia’s 40 Under 40 distinction. \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

DESCRIPTION:Quantum geometry has emerged as a new framework that unites different disciplines and underpins novel transport and nonlinear phenomena in topological states of matter. In this colloquium\, I will discuss an emerging system for topological studies: designable hybrid light-matter fluids. By integration of 2D material excitations — such as moiré excitons and Fermi polarons — with engineered photonic crystals\, we create a platform where topology can be designed and dynamically controlled.

DESCRIPTION:A common theme in mathematics is to understand algebraic objects using their actions on geometric spaces. Bass—Serre theory is one instance of this approach where one studies groups via their actions on trees. I will give an introduction to the simplest case of Bass—Serre theory and build a dictionary between gluing of spaces\, amalgamation of groups\, and actions on trees. This dictionary gives us a surprising amount of information about the structure of groups\, especially about their torsion subgroups. I will demonstrate this by applying the theory to SL2(Z)\, SL2(Q_p)\, and SL2(F_p((t))).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: On the P=C conjecture
DESCRIPTION:I will introduce the P=C conjecture which is an analogue of the P=W conjecture in the setting of a del Pezzo surface S. The main character of the conjecture is the moduli space M of one-dimensional sheaves on S. The perverse filtration records the topology of the Hitchin-type fibration\, while the Chern filtration records the shape of tautological relations. The perverse filtration is of particular interest because it conjecturally categorifies the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of a local Calabi-Yau 3-fold. This is a joint work with Y. Kononov\, M. Moreira\, W. Pi.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Convergence Analysis of Discrete Sampling in Continuous-Time Reinforcement Learning and High-Dimensional Numerical Integration
DESCRIPTION:Stochastic policies (also known as relaxed controls) are widely used in continuous-time Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms. However\, a critical disconnect remains between theory and practice. The theoretical aggregated dynamics\, driven by averaged coefficients\, provide a convenient basis for deriving RL algorithms but cannot be directly implemented. Physical execution requires the agent to sample concrete actions from the policy. Since continuously sampling independent actions poses significant mathematical and computational challenges\, practical implementation must rely on discrete sampling. Yet\, for general diffusion processes\, the accuracy of such discretely sampled dynamics has lacked rigorous theoretical justification.\n\nIn this talk\, I will bridge this gap by introducing and rigorously analyzing a policy execution framework that samples actions from a stochastic policy at discrete time points and implements them as piecewise constant controls. We prove that as the sampling mesh size tends to zero\, the controlled state process converges weakly to the dynamics with coefficients aggregated according to the stochastic policy. We explicitly quantify the convergence rate based on the regularity of the coefficients and establish an optimal first-order convergence rate for sufficiently regular coefficients. Additionally\, we prove a 1/2-order weak convergence rate that holds uniformly over the sampling noise with high probability\, and establish a 1/2-order pathwise convergence for each realization of the system noise in the absence of volatility control. Building on these results\, we analyze the bias and variance of various policy evaluation and policy gradient estimators based on discrete-time observations. Our results provide theoretical justification for the exploratory stochastic control framework in [H. Wang\, T. Zariphopoulou\, and X.Y. Zhou\, J. Mach. Learn. Res.\, 21 (2020)\, pp. 1-34].\n\nFinally\, I will also briefly discuss my research on Quasi-Monte Carlo sampling methods for efficient computation in high-dimensional numerical integration.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability/Analysis Circle: Change of Variables - From Symmetric Matrices to Eigenvalues
DESCRIPTION:This is the second meeting of the Probability/Analysis Circle\, a new event for juniors\, seniors\, and master’s students interested in probability and analysis. Eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix are complicated functions of the matrix’s entries. If we view the mapping from the entries of a symmetric matrix to its eigenvalues and eigenvectors as a change of variables\, what is the Jacobian? We will compute it for the 2x2 case and discuss the general nxn case. Then\, we’ll use this formula to explore the distribution of random eigenvalues for certain random symmetric matrices. Students are expected to know multivariable calculus.

SUMMARY:Other:QMSS Community Hours: Winter 2026
DESCRIPTION:QMSS Community Hours are open to all students as a place to build community\, work\, study\, and get help & support from QMSS Peer Mentors and GSIs.\n\nQMSS Community Hours are designed to be a casual\, supportive\, weekly community-building and open study hours event for students in the QMSS Community (i.e.\, students previously or currently enrolled in any QMSS courses\, declared QMSS minors\, and student friends of the QMSS program). QMSS Community Hours are a supplement to traditional office hours during which students can come to chat with QMSS Peer Mentors\, make friends in the QMSS program\, and work independently or in groups on problem sets\, projects\, and/or exam studying.\n\nDuring Community Hours\, 1-2 GSIs from each QMSS 201 and QMSS 301 course will be present for at least 1 hour for potential student questions\, and there will be plenty of open space to work on your own or with friends without a GSI if that's what you prefer. QMSS Peer Mentors will always be present for the entire event to chat about navigating the QMSS minor\, finding\, applying for\, and getting offers for summer internships that utilize QMSS skills\, life as a student at the University of Michigan\, or anything else they've been thinking about lately and seeking additional support or resources for!\n\nOpen to all students! Light snacks will be provided & soft coffee house-style background music will be played during the events.\n\nThe image alt-text of the Winter 2026 QMSS Community Hours schedule is as follows:\n- Wednesday\, January 14 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, January 20 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, January 28 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, February 3 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, February 11 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, February 17 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, February 25 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, March 10 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, March 18 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, March 24 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, April 1 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, April 7 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, April 15 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, April 21 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm

SUMMARY:Performance:Ryan Montbleau
DESCRIPTION:Poetic Americana\n\nA relentless road warrior and masterful wordsmith\, Ryan Montbleau has spent the better part of thirty years cultivating a devoted audience on the strength of his ecstatic live shows and exhilarating sonic versatility. He’s collaborated with artists as diverse as Trombone Shorty\, Galactic\, Steel Pulse\, Tall Heights\, Martin Sexton\, Anders Osborne\, and George Porter\, Jr\; shared bills with the likes of Tedeschi Trucks Band\, Ani DiFranco\, Todd Snider\, The Wood Brothers\, Rodrigo y Gabriela\, and Mavis Staples\; and racked up more than 150 million streams on Spotify alone. NPR’s Mountain Stage compared his “eloquent\, soulful songwriting” to Bill Withers and James Taylor\, while Relix celebrated his “poetic Americana\,” and The Boston Herald raved that “he’s made a career of confident\, danceable positivity.”\n\nMontbleau’s freewheeling new album finds him exploring the full spectrum of his influences like never before\, touching on folk\, rock\, funk\, soul\, hip-hop\, and reggae\, all with a preternatural ease that belies the intensely focused craftsmanship behind it. The songs are sprawling and unpredictable\, grappling with a modern world perpetually teetering on the edge of chaos\, but the performances are relentlessly optimistic\, insisting on hope and joy in the face of it all. The result is Montbleau’s most vulnerable and cathartic work yet\, an album that acknowledges the inevitability of doubt and pain while at the same time celebrating our limitless capacity for growth and love.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rabbitology
DESCRIPTION:A little land of the harebrained and burrowing - Venture into these eclectic soundscapes\, and here you will discover a collection of memoirs turned into fantastical sonic short stories.\n\nEveryone has their own world. Fragments of moments lived\, translated and understood through metaphor and storytelling. Rabbitology is the project of (University of Michigan student) Nat Timmerman—a world that was pulled from her odd-running mind. \n\nStrange but charming\, you’ll find these songs bundled in capes of star-dusted moss\, grounded in the natural world\, propelled by the raw and the real. If a song takes place in the woods\, then the woods the song will become\; the percussion is the stomping of the leaves\, the synth is a warped fox’s cry. Thus arise the stories of dread-grey skies\, writhing vines\, and shivering pines—stories of a magically real folk horror. The dark and ugly become beautiful here\, and vice versa. In this world\, there is no such thing as “black or white\,” instead\, everything exists together at once.\n\nThis world is for the souls who never quite fit in\, who found themselves like ghosts\, drifting between realms\, never finding anywhere to settle. Simply follow the three-legged rabbit prints until you’re knee deep in this world’s tall grass. Here\, you’re invited to rest\, to dance\, to create\, to ideate\, even if your visit is only for a little while. Stay as long as you like. Make this world your home too. It’s a little unusual in here\, but that’s life!

SUMMARY:Performance:Pajamas
DESCRIPTION:A tapestry of sound - intricate and expansive\n\nIn an era of precision-crafted playlists and algorithmic recommendations\, Pajamas is a refreshing anomaly. Hailing from Ann Arbor\, MI\, Pajamas' style has been described as “exploratory rock\" - a good descriptor for Pajamas’ sound which contains a smorgasbord of influences from across almost the whole canon of American music tradition. This four man group is redefining the live music experience\, standing on the shoulders of giants and crafting performances that are as much about the journey as the destination. \n\nThe band’s rocky overall sound is nuanced\, feeling almost like each song is an interesting\, in-depth conversation between the band and audience. The band's four members - Nicholas Orr\, Graham Low\, Owen Kellenberger\, and Liam Gallegos - weave together a tapestry of sound that is both intricate and expansive. Songs blend seamlessly into one another\, creating a sense of flow and continuity that is all too rare in modern music.\n\nPajamas draws influence from the likes of Pink Floyd\, Phish\, Chick Corea\, Grateful Dead\, Jaco Pastorius\, David Bowie\, Brian Blade\, Radiohead\, Victor Wooten\, Allman Brothers and many others. Since 2018\, Pajamas has played hundreds of shows across the Midwest and beyond. From festivals like Summer Camp and big stages like Frederik Meijer Garden Amphitheater they’ve shared the stage with nationally touring acts including Goose\, Aqueous\, Thornetta Davis\, Karina Rykman and many others.

SUMMARY:Performance:Davina and the Vagabonds
DESCRIPTION:“Davina Sowers creates her own Americana mishmash — a little Amy Winehouse-worthy neo-soul here\, a little Great American Songbook-influenced songcraft there.”  –Rolling Stone Magazine​\n\n“Davina and the Vagabonds combat heartache with sugar and sass.\"  –Downbeat Magazine​\n\nDavina Sowers and the Vagabonds have created a stir on the national music scene with their high-energy live shows\, level A musicianship\, sharp-dressed professionalism\, and Sowers’ commanding stage presence. With influences ranging from Fats Domino and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Aretha Franklin and Tom Waits\, the band is converting audiences one show at a time\, from Vancouver to Miami and across Europe. \n\nMuch like the music\, the story spurns era\, expectation\, and classification. The often unbelievable\, sometimes harrowing\, and wholly inspiring journey of Davina Sowers gave birth to her eponymous band Davina and The Vagabonds in 2004. As the tale goes\, she grew up in the economically depressed Allegheny town of Altoona\, PA\, which she now describes as “awesome in the industrial era\, but horrible for high school.” She was adopted by her much older stepfather when he was in his 80s\; he passed away when she was just 13. Through him and his Edison phonograph\, she first heard The Ink Spots\, Sidney Bechet\, Louis Armstrong and Louis Prima\, Sister Rosetta Tharpe\, and many others. “Great man. He was my angel and still is\,” she says.\n\nOn her own\, she vividly recalls hours in front of the record player where she religiously spun Led Zeppelin\, Black Sabbath\, and Simon and Garfunkel records belonging to her folk singer mom.\n\nTo this day\, Davina still refers to music as “my first and eternal love.” Despite early dalliances with classical piano and guitar\, she developed a heavy drug habit in high school\, which morphed into heroin dependency\, left her homeless\, sent her in and out of jail\, and brought on all manner of trouble. Kicking dope on the streets\, she “got clean\, started the band\, and worked [her] ass off every day since.” \n\nDavina and the Vagabonds shine every time they play. To date\, they’ve performed in forty-five states\, twelve European countries\, and two Canadian provinces. Not to mention\, they’ve earned feverish acclaim from the Chicago Tribune\, NPR\, and more in addition to performing on BBC’s international favorite late-night program Later… With Jools Holland and appearing on PBS’s Bluegrass Underground.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jon Muq
DESCRIPTION:Melding the sounds of America with the sounds of Uganda\n\nFor Jon Muq\, a singer-songwriter born in Uganda and now living in Austin\, Texas\, music is part of a larger conversation he’s having with the world and everybody in it. Drawing from African as well as western musical trends and traditions\, he devises songs as small gifts\, designed to settle into everyday life and provoke reflection and resilience. “These days the world is sad\,” he explains\, “so I wanted to make happy songs. I wanted to write songs that connected with the listener in a very personal way. When someone listens to my music\, it’s not just about me and what I’m singing. It’s about how they understand the songs individually. I think these songs can speak many languages\, depending on what you want from them.”\n\nMuq’s experiences as a child in Uganda and as a man in America give him a unique perspective on the world he’s addressing. “I grew up in a very different life\, where so many people pass through hard times just because they don’t have much. Our biggest issue was food scarcity. Then I came to a different world\, which gave me a picture of how to write a song that can find balance with everyone wherever they are\, whether they have a lot or not much.” With his May 31st debut album with producer Dan Auerbach and tours with Billy Joel\, Norah Jones\, Mavis Staples\, Amythyst Kiah\, Corinne Bailey Rae\, and others\, Muq is expanding the scope of his music to speak to more and more people.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Smither
DESCRIPTION:“an American original – a product of the musical melting pot and one of the absolute best singer-songwriters in the world.” –Associated Press\n\nBorn in Miami\, during World War II\, Chris Smither grew up in New Orleans where he first started playing music as a child. The son of a Tulane University professor\, he was taught the rudiments of instrumentation by his uncle on his mother’s ukulele. “Uncle Howard\,” Smither says\, “showed me that if you knew three chords\, you could play a lot of the songs you heard on the radio. And if you knew four chords\, you could pretty much rule the world.” With that bit of knowledge under his belt\, he was hooked. “I’d loved acoustic music – specifically the blues – ever since I first heard Lightnin’ Hopkins’ Blues In My Bottle album. I couldn’t believe the sound Hopkins got. At first I thought it was two guys playing guitar. My style\, to a degree\, came out of trying to imitate that sound I heard.”\n\nIn his early twenties\, Smither turned his back on his anthropology studies and headed to Boston at the urging of legendary folk singer Eric von Schmidt. It was the mid-’60s and acoustic music thrived in the streets and coffeehouses there. Smither forged lifelong friendships with many musicians\, including Bonnie Raitt who went on to record his songs\, “Love You Like A Man” and “I Feel the Same. (Their friendship has endured as their career paths intertwined over the years.) What quickly evolved from his New Orleans and Cambridge musical experiences is his enduring\, singular guitar sound – a beat-driven finger-picking\, strongly influenced by the playing of Mississippi John Hurt and Lightnin’ Hopkins\, layered over the ever-present backbeat of his rhythmic\, tapping feet (always mic’d in performance).

SUMMARY:Performance:Girl Named Tom
DESCRIPTION:New music!\n\nFrom a small-town minivan to sold-out theaters\, Girl Named Tom’s rise has been nothing short of remarkable. 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.
