SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Exhibition. Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador
DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities

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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Walk You Back to Your Car
DESCRIPTION:One night only! A new musical by Anderson Zoll and Maggie Brown. \n\nWalk You Back To Your Car is a one-act musical that follows three couples as they walk back from a party to their cars. Instead of focusing on what happens inside\, the show captures the fleeting\, often overlooked moments of connection between the front door and the car. The couples’ stories weave in and out of each other\, showing the different ways a relationship can shift in a single\, brief walk. Some changes are subtle\, some enormous\, but all leave a lasting mark. It’s a reflection on holding onto a moment as long as we can\, until we must inevitably say goodbye. Through laughter\, longing\, and unexpected honesty\, the musical reminds us that often it’s the smallest encounters that shape the course of our lives.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world of rhythm and soul as the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, led by the iconic trumpeter and cultural ambassador Wynton Marsalis\, brings their unparalleled mastery to Hill Auditorium. The night after they perform Marsalis’s new Symphony No. 5 with the University Symphony Orchestra\, the venerable ensemble takes the stage in a program that honors Duke Ellington.\n\nDuke Ellington found deep inspiration in Africa\, travelling with his orchestra to Dakar\, Senegal in 1966 to perform at the first World Festival of Negro Arts. This trip led him to compose several of his most iconic works\, including Afro-Bossa\, Liberian Suite\, and the Grammy Award-winning Togo Brava Suite. Co-music-directed by JLCO saxophonists Chris Lewis and Alexa Tarantino\, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis celebrates these compositions and the spirit of Duke’s historic trip\, nearly 60 years later.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mustard's Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Music to cure what ails you\n\nMay 1975. It seemed inevitable. Libby Glover\, Michael Hough and David Tamulevich had been informally jamming with each other for 3 months in the Rathskellar of the Old Heidelberg Restaurant in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. The room had grown consistently packed with enthusiastic fans every weekend. They all agreed it was time the trio made it official and chose the name Mustard’s Retreat\, which was a tune David had written. \n\nMustard’s Retreat has always sung the songs they enjoyed and cared about\, regardless of the trends of the music industry and pop culture. They are committed to simply being themselves\, not chasing fame or brass rings\, while delighting in and connecting with their audiences as if they were family. The honesty of what they present onstage and the extensive body of outstanding original songs and recordings all contribute to a fiercely loyal audience that continues to grow. “Music to cure what ails you” was how one reviewer in the 1970s described them\, and that is as true now as it was then. They’ve traveled more than a million miles and performed more than 6\,000 shows\, from pig roasts and pool parties to Lincoln Center Out of Doors\, The Barns at Wolftrap and the Kennedy’s Center’s Millennium Stage.\n\nTheir performances are always joyful and uplifting\, as well as intelligent\, thought provoking and insightful. They’ve recently begun referring to their career and touring as “Defiantly Hopeful.” In part due to their long career\, but more as a statement about what the music has meant to them. “Folk music is\, at its heart\, defiantly hopeful!” Tamulevich says. “We came of age in the 60s\, at the confluence of Pete Seeger\, Peter\, Paul & Mary\, Bob Dylan and the singer/songwriter revolution. We care much more about what we do and stand for and finding that common ground with our audiences\, than fame or money: this is our community of choice\, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be here.”\n\nNote early start time of 7:30!

DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Exhibition. Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador
DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities

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:Tours:Exhibition Tour: Zina Saro-Wiwa: Table Manners Season I
DESCRIPTION:Dive deeper into UMMA’s collection of African art with this tour starting with Table Manners: Season 1\, by Nigerian artist Zina Saro-Wiwa.  In this installation\, eight videos portray individuals from the Niger Delta eating meals tied to the region’s cultural and natural landscapes. The intimate dining experiences challenge our assumptions about identity\, culture\, and power. Our tour will then move to We Write to You About Africa. Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists—the exhibition directly addresses the complex histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North\, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent.\n\nFree and open to the public\, registration required.

DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

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.

Small talk is one of the ways in American cultureto chat about harmless topics to establish a connection and start to build a friendship.For example\, while waiting for an interview\, in line at a M-Den\, or an elevator on campus\, don’t be startled if a stranger says something to you like\, “Did you watch the Football Game last night? What a game!” They might also make a joke about the long line you’re both in\, or comment on the current situation.This workshopis open to all students\, so if you are interested in learning more aboutsmall talk\, now it’s your chance to sign up. In this workshop\, we will educate you on what small talk is\, and you will also have the chance topractice small talk with peers! This event's information is shown in Handshake as well as on the Happening @ Michigan calendar sothat it will be seen by a larger number of U-M Students.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Spatial Data and Fish Ecology Informing Policy in Chile
DESCRIPTION:Landscape scale fluvial ecology models connect well with a policy-making framework. In Chile\, the modeling frameworks developed by former SEAS professors Paul Seelbach and Michael Wiley have been applied to build policy tools for decision-making in the areas of sustainable hydropower and climate change adaptation. This talk examines the unforeseen challenges facing the development of landscape-scale fluvial ecological models that connect climate\, land-use\, and hydrology.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Hodge theory of toric singularities
DESCRIPTION:A toric variety is a normal variety containing an algebraic torus as an open dense subset whose action on itself extends to the whole space. They provide a fruitful interplay between algebraic geometry and convex geometry since properties on one side (e.g. smoothness\, compactness) can be translated into properties involving discrete objects (e.g. cones\, fans\, polytopes). I will talk about singularities of these varieties from a Hodge theoretic point of view\, with applications towards local cohomology and singular cohomology\, based on joint works with Sridhar Venkatesh.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A SAGBI basis for the Plücker algebra
DESCRIPTION:The complete flag variety FL_n is a central object in combinatorial algebraic geometry\, parametrizing maximal chains of vector subspaces. One can discover many of its algebro-geometric features by flatly degenerating it to a projective toric variety—a combinatorial shadow carrying rich information about the original space. A SAGBI basis (the \"subalgebra analogue of Gröbner basis for ideals\") guarantees such a toric degeneration. In this talk\, we will compute an explicit SAGBI basis for the multi-homogeneous coordinate ring of FL_n called the Plücker algebra\, and connect it to other well-studied combinatorial semigroups.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Continuum Calogero--Moser models
DESCRIPTION:The focusing CCM equation is a completely integrable PDE that describes a continuum limit of a particle gas interacting pairwise through an inverse-square potential.  This system is well-posed below the mass of the soliton\, but above this threshold there are solutions that blow up in finite time.\n\nThe defocusing model arises as a modulation equation for internal waves in a deep stratified fluid.  In this setting\, it is a member of a family of systems known as the intermediate nonlinear Schrödinger equations.\n\nIn this talk\, we will discuss some recent well-posedness results for the continuum Calogero--Moser and intermediate nonlinear Schrödinger equations.  This is based on joint works with Andreia Chapouto\, Justin Forlano\, Rowan Killip\, and Monica Visan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg Lecture with Gil Nathanson \"Big Atmosphere\, Little Droplets\, Tiny Atoms: What Can Helium Atoms Teach Us About Sea Spray?\"
DESCRIPTION:Sea spray droplets are complex beasts that contain surface-active organic molecules in addition to water and salts. These aerosol particles behave like little chemical laboratories that transform gases in the atmosphere and alter the concentration of key species\, including ozone\, the hydroxyl radical\, and methane.  But what do helium atoms have to with aerosols? Amazingly\, when helium atoms are dissolved in sea spray proxies\, they evaporate at super-Maxwellian speeds that vary sensitively with the identity of the salts and surfactants in solution. The excess helium kinetic energies teach us about the interfacial morphologies of surfactant-salt-water solutions\, which we can explain using two beautiful chemical concepts: the principle of detailed balance and potentials of mean force. We can use what we have learned to discuss how charged surfactants can significantly alter the outcome of reactions in sea spray because they control the segregation of reactive ions to the surface. Just a speck of surfactant goes a long way!\n\nThis talk will include some fun hands-on soapy water activities at your seat. Please bring your water bottle if you have one.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Tracking Accuracy Through the Nose of a Dog
DESCRIPTION:Hélène is currently conducting an ethnographic study in a Californian facility that is at the origin of a new cutting edge “technology” to manage Type 1 diabetes: Diabetic Alert Dogs. In her presentation\, she will investigate how dogs' noses are transformed into “reliable sensors” capable of alerting and giving feedback to human beings about the state of their bodies 20 minutes faster than any machine on the planet. She will explore how this facility is a space where not only new accurate instruments are produced\, but also new definitions of what “accuracy\,” “objectivity\,” “proof\,” and “responsibility” mean that considerably enrich our scientific repertoire and how we engage with machines.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Exhibition. Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador
DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Alex Quizon Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Stable oxygen isotope measurements (δ18O) are important tools in studies of climate\, oceanography\, and hydrology of today and the past. δ18O in fossil marine carbonates (δ18Ocarb) is used to reconstruct past ocean temperatures\, and seawater δ18O (δ18Ow) tracks with salinity and is thus used to interpret hydrological variability. However\, δ18Ocarb-temperature estimates rely on assumptions of how δ18Ow varied in the past\, which remains uncertain. ‘Clumped’ isotope thermometry (Δ47) measurements are independent of δ18Ow\, allowing us to circumvent this uncertainty and to simultaneously reconstruct past ocean temperatures and δ18Ow when combined with δ18Ocarb. This dissertation explores innovations in the utility of these isotopic tools. First\, we investigated the viability of Δ47 paleothermometry in marine gastropods - an archive largely unexplored for Δ47-paleotemperature reconstructions (Chapters 2 & 3). Second\, we explored the utility of δ18Ow and Δ47-derived paleo-δ18Ow as tracers of ocean currents (Chapters 4 & 5) and ice sheet melt (Chapter 6).\n\nChapter 2 documents Δ47-T’s from a suite of modern marine gastropods collected from localities spanning the globe. Our findings suggest that many gastropods precipitate in isotopic equilibrium and accurately record environmental temperatures. However\, some gastropods - notably Caviturritella/Turritella (turritellids) and Campanile - appear to precipitate out of equilibrium (“vital effects”) and thus exhibit Δ47-T’s cooler than actual environmental temperatures.\n\nChapter 3 expands on the finding from Chapter 2 that turritellids appear to exhibit a vital effect-induced cold bias of ~6°C\, reporting Δ47-temperatures from 2 modern and 7 fossil (Mid-Miocene\, ~18-14 Ma) turritellids from Colombia. The Δ47 data from the modern turritellids corroborate the previous finding of a ~6°C cold bias. After a +6°C adjustment is applied to Mid-Miocene Δ47-temperatures\, adjusted Δ47-temperatures align with previous paleotemperature estimates in the region from other studies\, highlighting the potential of vital effect-based corrections.\n\nChapter 4 explores the utility of δ18Ow as a tracer for the Labrador and Gulf Stream boundary currents in the North Atlantic. We collected 358 new salinity and δ18Ow measurements along the Eastern Seaboard\, doubling the number of existing data in the region. Our paired salinity and δ18Ow data show distinct signatures for the Labrador Current and Gulf Stream roughly separated at Cape Hatteras\, North Carolina\, creating the framework for using δ18Ow as a tracer of these currents.\n\nChapter 5 expands on the findings from Chapter 4\, as we discuss the ability of Δ47-derived paleo-δ18Ow to track the Labrador Current and Gulf Stream in the past. We measured fossil quahogs (Mercenaria sp.\, ~130-115 ka and ~80 ka) from localities along the Eastern Seaboard and found that\, despite temporal differences\, paleo-δ18Ow latitudinal trends generally align with the modern δ18Ow latitudinal gradient. Thus\, these findings showcase the potential of Δ47-derived paleo-δ18Ow to track water masses from the past.\n\nChapter 6 builds on the framework of using Δ47-derived paleo-δ18Ow to interpret paleohydrological variability\, as we infer substantial ice sheet melt at Nantucket\, Massachusetts during the Last Interglacial (~130-115 ka). We measured 7 Mercenaria across 2 units at this locality and observed paleo-δ18Ow values significantly depleted relative to modern values\, which is consistent with substantial freshwater input (i.e.\, ice sheet melt).\n\nAltogether\, this dissertation builds on the existing framework of Δ47 and δ18Ow as paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic tools by investigating the viability of marine gastropods for Δ47-paleotemperature reconstructions and exploring Δ47-derived paleo-δ18Ow as a tracer of ocean circulation and ice sheet melt in the past.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

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:Lecture / Discussion:“Solving the Biggest Problems: Problem-Solving Sociology and American Populism”
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host Monica Prasad\, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Economic and Political Sociology at Johns Hopkins University. Monica will present\, “Solving the Biggest Problems: Problem-Solving Sociology and American Populism.”\n\nAbstract: “Recently several groups of scholars have independently argued that sociology should attempt to solve problems\, from the community around “problem-solving sociology\,” to “solution oriented sociology\,” to scholars arguing that sociologists should attempt to solve inequality\, to the “positive turn” in economic sociology.  But many of the biggest problems that sociologists examine cannot be solved in the course of a scholarly career.  This talk discusses the sociology of knowledge questions raised by trying to solve the biggest problems\, and then tries to solve one of the biggest problems: American populism and its protectionist turn\, which is unusual in comparative perspective.  I show that even when problems cannot be solved\, trying to solve them is worthwhile for the insights it generates.”\n\nMonica Prasad’s areas of interest are economic sociology\, comparative historical sociology\, and political sociology. Her books The Politics of Free Markets\, The Land of Too Much\, and Starving the Beast examine American political economy in comparative perspective\, and argue that progressive policies are most effective when they are embedded in a broader political economy that is favorable to business interests.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RESET Demonstration Project: Overview and Technical Background
DESCRIPTION:The seminar will provide an overview and technical background for the Re-Engineering Statistics using Economic Transactions Demonstration Project (RESET DP). This project proposes a new architecture for building official measures of inflation and spending from granular\, item-level transactions data\, offering internally consistent measures of real expenditures and inflation. The RESET architecture aims to replace the existing 20th century infrastructure for official statistics\, which relies on disparate surveys and enumerations\, with one built upon 21st century information systems. The RESET DP will release real-time monthly indices of inflation and sales covering most retail goods in the United States—accounting for almost ten percent of GDP.\n\nItem-level transactions data yield cost-of-living indices that can account for quality change and consumer substitution. Transactions data require confronting the rapid turnover of items because prices of new and existing products are interrelated in equilibrium. The attached paper “Quality Adjustment at Scale: Hedonic vs. Exact Demand-Based Price Indices” evaluates multiple approaches to measuring quality change at scale. It shows that a hedonic superlative approach—using econometrics or machine learning for hedonic estimation combined with index formulas that require simultaneous observation of item-level price and expenditure—yields improved measures of the cost of living. Accounting for ubiquitous quality change and for consumer substitution yields lower measures of inflation than traditional\, official methods.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series: Context-dependent collaboration and conflict in microbial mutualisms
DESCRIPTION:Description: Resource context often has a large effect on the ecology and evolution of nutritional mutualisms\, such as the symbiosis between leguminous plants and rhizobium bacteria. Increased soil nitrogen\, for example\, causes rhizobia to become less mutualistic\, but this may be due to direct or indirect effects. I experimentally evolved soil microbial communities to disentangle three possible drivers of reduced mutualism-- soil nitrogen\, light\, and host availability-- as well as whether mutualism quality would recover after fertilization cessation. Additionally\, I investigated possible non-additive effects of adding a second symbiont\, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi\, to the legume-rhizobium system\, because mycorrhizae are an additional carbon sink for plant hosts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Legitimizing Painting as a Livelihood for \"Gentlemen\" (shi 士) in 10th–13th Century China
DESCRIPTION:One of the most paradigmatic frameworks in Song dynasty (960–1279) art history is a division between high-status\, avocational “literati” or “gentleman” (shi 士) painters and low-status\, occupational “artisan” (gong 工) painters. This presentation situates that symbolic boundary within a specific discourse of artistic appraisal\, and contrasts it with a growing acceptance of painting as a legitimate livelihood for respectable “gentlemen” in the 10th–13th centuries. By tracing the coexistence of these two conflicting perspectives on occupational painting\, and their impact on occupational painters\, it offers a new understanding of how social and symbolic boundaries were negotiated in Song art worlds.\n   \n   Zach Berge-Becker is a Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer at the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies. His research examines practices and processes of identity construction and social distinction in middle period China\, by focusing on fields of action that served as leisure for some and livelihoods for others\, such as: painting\, making music\, fishing\, gardening\, and playing board games.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Woll Family Speaker Series Presents:  Dr. Rick Hodes as guest speaker
DESCRIPTION:Medicine wrestles with a persistent question: What does it mean to care for the vulnerable when resources are scarce and suffering is relentless? In an era when global health is often reduced to short-term interventions and metrics\, the deeper moral demands of accompaniment can fade from view. Dr. Rick Hodes challenges this narrowing of vision. In his upcoming talk for the Woll Family Speaker Series\, he invites us to consider medicine not as a transaction\, but as a sustained moral commitment.\nDrawing on more than three decades of work in Ethiopia\, Dr. Hodes will share stories of children with complex cardiac and spinal conditions and of a physician who chose to stay. He explores the ethical tensions of caring for patients whose needs far exceed available resources\, and asks what obligations endure when the usual boundaries of training\, geography\, and time fall away.\nDr. Hodes is an internist who has lived and worked in Ethiopia since the mid-1980s. His work brings children to the United States for life-saving care while strengthening local medical capacity. We are honored to welcome Dr. Hodes to the Woll Family Speaker Series for a conversation that will challenge\, inspire\, and reframe how we think about moral responsibility in medicine.\n\nWe are grateful to co-sponsor this talk with Global Reach.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Afterlives of Revolution: Political Passions in Post-revolutionary Nicaragua
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:\nThe Sandinista National Liberation Front\, which once led a Marxist-inspired popular revolution in Nicaragua (1979-1990)\, returned to power sixteen years later\, now in alliance with former foes in the business sector and the Catholic Church. Based on ethnographic research with contemporary Sandinistas\, this talk examines what appears to be the uncanny transformation of Nicaragua’s revolutionary left tradition during times of neoliberal hegemony and the contradictions that have arisen for grassroots organizers committed to creating lasting structural change.\n\n*Luciana Chamorro is a 2025-26 Hunting Family Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Assisstant Professor of Anthropology.*

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Getting Better All the Time: Metadata Enhancements in the ICPSR Catalog
DESCRIPTION:ICPSR is enhancing our metadata – the information we provide about each study\, like its title\, time period\, and subject – to make our data easier to find\, use\, and share. These improvements have been designed as part of ICPSR’s Research Data Ecosystem (RDE) platform\, supported by the National Science Foundation\, and are now being introduced to some live ICPSR data collections. \n\nEnhancements include:\n   * addition of persistent identifiers (PIDs) for people and organizations\, to support connections across systems\;\n   * improved controlled vocabularies to search by data characteristics such as format and collection method – like survey\, panel\, or GIS data\;\n   * new required fields to clearly indicate where\, when\, and what each data collection is about\;\n   * better handling of geographic coverage and new fields that help users find data from small towns to entire continents\, including nationally representative data.\n\nIn this presentation\, members of ICPSR’s metadata team will show these enhancements\, which are already live in some ICPSR data collections. We’ll also share practical tips for attendees who deposit data with ICPSR or support people who do – ideas to help depositors prepare to make the best use of these new fields as they roll out to more collections within ICPSR.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MICDE – NERS – MIPSE Joint Seminar: Brian Haines\, Los Alamos National Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe xRAGE radiation-hydrodynamics code is a state-of-the art simulation tool for modeling inertial confinement fusion experiments. xRAGE is one of only three radiation-hydrodynamics codes developed in the U.S. with sufficient physics to credibly model both capsule implosions as well as the high-Z cylindrical hohlraums used to convert laser energy into an X-ray drive for the capsule. xRAGE solves the equations for hydrodynamics and other physics in an Eulerian reference frame and features adaptive mesh refinement\, which makes it uniquely well-suited to accurately modeling capsule defects and engineering features that are important factors limiting capsule performance. In the first half of this talk\, we will discuss the physics modeling capabilities and algorithms available in xRAGE with an emphasis on those relevant to high-energy-density physics and inertial confinement fusion. In the second half of the talk\, we will discuss the successful application of xRAGE to provide pre-shot predictions for seventeen high-yield capsule implosions on the National Ignition Facility. This will include the modeling methodology\, how we establish prediction uncertainties\, and how we have learned from prediction failures to improve the methodology. Our predictions have exhibited a 67% success rate thus far\, which is much higher than other pre-shot predictions over the same set of experiments.\n\nBio: \nBrian M. Haines is a Senior Distinguished Scientist in the Eulerian Codes group in the X-Computational Physics division at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He is currently the lead for the Ignition Applications project\, which includes the THOR and BrassOwl experimental campaigns on the National Ignition Facility. Brian leads the effort to produce LANL xRAGE pre-shot predictions and post-shot analysis of high-yield implosion attempts on the National Ignition Facility. Brian led the decadal effort to develop the xRAGE radiation-hydrodynamics code into a state-of-the-art tool for modeling inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and high-energy density physics experiments and has pioneered the use of xRAGE to perform large-scale high-resolution full-physics three-dimensional simulations of ICF implosions to understand the impacts of hydrodynamic instabilities and engineering features. Prior to his current position\, Brian was a Metropolis postdoc in the Methods & Algorithms group from 2011-2013 and did various internships as a student with Argonne National Laboratory\, LANL\, the National Security Agency\, and the Institute for Defense Analyses’ Center for Communications Research. Brian received a Ph.D. in mathematics from Penn State University in 2011 and a B.A. in mathematics and physics from New York University in 2006. Brian has co-authored 100 peer-reviewed publications that have received over 3\,400 citations and has been awarded a Secretary’s Honor Award from DOE\, four distinguished performance awards from LANL\, five defense program awards of excellence from NNSA\, an ICF program award from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)\, and a Director’s Science and Technology Award from LLNL.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Water@Michigan Coffee Talk: Data Centers\, Energy\, and Water Systems: Modeling the impacts on infrastructure\, environment\, and affordability
DESCRIPTION:Event Logistics:\n\n📅 Date: Tuesday\, February 10\, 2026\n\n🕑 Time: 3:00-4:30p\n\n📍 Location: Michigan League\, Hussey Room [911 N University Ave\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109]\n\n\nTalk Description: Data Centers\, Energy\, and Water Systems: Modeling the impacts on infrastructure\, environment\, and affordability\n\nAs data centers rapidly expand across the U.S. and globally\, they are reshaping communities\, resource consumption\, and sustainability. In Michigan alone\, there are at least 16 proposed datacenter sites in 10 counties across the Lower Peninsula. Access to land\, electricity\, and water\, as well as favourable regulations and tax incentives are driving the data center boom. However\, there are concerns over the sustainability of data centers and their impacts on both the natural and built environment. Data centers already make up 4% of total electricity consumption in the U.S.\, and are expected to consume 6-12% by 2030. Both the load growth and corresponding uncertainty present a challenge to utility companies: how do we plan for unprecedented levels of load growth? How do we accommodate uncertainty in load forecasts? How do we ensure affordable and reliable access to electricity and water? This talk will share findings from an ongoing project on Data center Energy and Water Systems (DEWS). Through a literature review and expert interviews with stakeholders and companies involved in data center development and operations\, we are exploring the impacts of data centers on infrastructure\, environment\, and affordability. \n\nAbout the Speaker: \nRabab Haider\, Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering\n\nDr. Rabab Haider is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan. Her research is centered on designing future energy systems that provide green\, reliable\, and affordable energy for All. Her group develops optimization and AI algorithms that advance energy system operations\, planning\, and market under deep decarbonization. Dr. Haider’s portfolio also includes engagement with multiple global organizations to enable widespread access to STEMM education\, mentorship\, and leadership training. She received her Ph.D. and S.M. degrees at MIT\, and B.A.Sc in Engineering Science at the University of Toronto. She was previously named a MIT Energy Fellow and MathWorks-MIT Mechanical Engineering Fellow. Dr. Haider is also an Affiliate Faculty at the Georgia Institute of Technology and NSF AI Institute for Advances in Optimization (AI4OPT). \n\nYou can register for the event here: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks\n\nAbout Coffee Talks: Coffee Talks provide a monthly opportunity for U-M faculty\, staff\, and students interested in water\, and water-interested people in southeast Michigan to connect with colleagues\, learn about pressing and/or emerging water-related issues\, and meet new partners. This academic year\, we are excited to explore the intersection of water + energy and what this nexus means to U-M researchers\, institutes\, and external partners. Coffee Talks are in-person convenings designed to build connections as part of the U-M Water Center's mission and programs\; we are not recording sessions at this time.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Folk Democracy in Postwar Czechoslovakia
DESCRIPTION:During the Second World War\, Czechoslovakia’s political leaders rejected the liberal democratic system of the interwar period and sought to renew their state’s independence on a new basis of national unity\, social equality\, and political participation. Upon liberation in 1945\, members of the antifascist resistance worked at the local level to reestablish national sovereignty and lay the foundations of this new order — *lidová demokracie*\, which might be translated as “folk democracy” rather than the traditional “people’s democracy.” Like folk songs or folk art\, folk democracy was understood to represent the creative efforts of the common people\, unmediated by party elites or state institutions. In the remote\, rural region of Moravian Wallachia\, a stronghold of the Czech partisan movement under Nazi occupation\, folk democracy promised both material benefits and symbolic recognition. Local Communists appealed to this vision first to win support among Wallachians and then to consolidate one-party rule after their leaders’ seizure of power in February 1948. Thereafter\, however\, the legacy of folk democracy both inspired resistance and impeded Communist attempts to reorder local society along ideological lines.\n\nAttend in person or via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Reply 1997: K-Dramas and Conjunctural Analysis
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/JPJAe\n\nSouth Korean serials (aka K-Dramas) are increasingly understood as a new paradigm of global media production on content streaming platforms. South Korean content industries have established a repertoire of narrative and character tropes that inventively combine multiple genres of popular storytelling\, including zombie thrillers: All of Us Are Dead\, Kingdom\, Sweet Home\; survival games: Physical 100\, Hellbound\; corporate/gangster noir: Vincenzo\, Little Women\; school bullying and revenge: The Glory\, Extracurricular\, Weak Hero\; and romantic comedy: Crash Landing on You\, Business Proposal\, and many others. How did the Korean media ecosystem become so adept at anticipating globally resonant narratives and integrating local productions into the transnational infrastructures of new “television” consumption? This talk revisits the South Korean television series Reply 1997 (Ungtap hara 1997\, tvN\, 2012) as a crucial piece of the “K-content” puzzle\, though it may seem at first glance to be an entirely different type of media object than the more recent streaming sensations mentioned above. Cho contends that the series and the broader cultural currents to which it gave form uniquely illuminate the transformative encounters\, uneven entanglements\, and overdetermined desires and aspirations that signify the “global” in “global media.” In this talk\, she'll contextualize the show in the trajectory of Korean television’s increasingly platform-mediated mission to become a representative global media industry and popular narrative form\, and analyze its novel approach to periodization. Cho will foreground the overdetermining impact of the late 1990s historical conjuncture to interpret the gesture of rewriting the memory of this period through the figure of the fangirl as an exemplary late-capitalist subject.\n   \n   Michelle Cho is assistant professor of Korean Media and director of the Centre for the Study of Korea at the University of Toronto. Her work explores South Korean genre cinemas\, Korean television\, digital platforms\, and mediations of race and gender in K-Pop and its fandoms. She is co-editor of Bangtan Remixed: A Critical BTS Reader and Mediating Gender in Post-Authoritarian South Korea and author of the forthcoming monograph *Genre Worlds: Global Forms and Millennial South Korean Cinema*. Her public-facing writing appears in such venues as The Los Angeles Review of Books\, and she regularly contributes to the CBC’s daily culture show Commotion. She’s also a frequent commentator on Asian media in outlets ranging from NPR to CNN to The Washington Post.\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.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:WCEE Film Series on Ukraine. *Erase the Nation* (2023\, 56 min)
DESCRIPTION:\"Erase the Nation\" is a documentary war film that sheds light on the tragic chapter of Russian war crimes committed against Ukraine’s national and multicultural heritage. This powerful film highlights the devastation inflicted on museums\, monuments\, archaeological sites and sacred places such as the cathedral in Odessa\, all ruthlessly destroyed by Russian forces who are trying to rewrite history in the name of the chauvinist ideology of “Great Russia''.\n\nHowever\, \"Erase the Nation\" doesn't just capture the destruction. It also reveals the resilience and determination of individuals from the world of culture who are working hard to preserve our common heritage or choose to stand up and join the fight for their homeland. The film pays tribute to these brave souls\, emphasizing that those who perished in the conflict would never have the chance to compose new songs\, direct new films\, or craft new poetry.\n\n\"Erase the Nation\" is a testament to the enduring power of culture\, which proves stronger than the hatred of barbarism. It underscores how even in the face of devastation\, the spirit of art and heritage can shine through\, offering hope and a path toward restoration.\n   \n   Free and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come\, first-served basis.\n   \nTrailer: https://myumi.ch/612M1\n   \n   Tomasz Grzywaczewski is a war journalist\, documentary filmmaker\, and author of nonfiction books with a focus on Central and Eastern Europe. Since February 2022\, he has been serving as a correspondent for the Chief Evening News Service on TVP1\, reporting from Ukraine’s frontline\, adding to his coverage of conflict zones like Donbas\, Kurdistan\, and Nagorno Karabakh. Grzywaczewski has collaborated with numerous media outlets\, including CBS News and Foreign Policy. His recent documentary\, “Erase the Nation\,” has been screened at international forums such as OSCE and UNESCO\, as well as in cities worldwide e.g. Stockholm\, New York\, and Kuala Lumpur.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:When Hebrew Met the Machine
DESCRIPTION:What happens when an ancient language meets modern technology? This lecture will discuss the role played by media technologies—such as the phonograph\, typewriters\, the telegraph\, and computers—in the revitalization and modernization of Hebrew since the end of the nineteenth century. After lying dormant for two millennia as a mainly written language\, Hebrew awoke from its literary slumber and became a living modern vernacular. The revitalization of Hebrew is unique and unprecedented in world history\, and it has been studied in various fields\; but the role of modern media technologies in mediating this revival has not yet been considered. This lecture will delve into questions such as: what was the role of sound recording technologies in shaping the reemerging modern Hebrew speech? And how did the Hebraized typewrite pushed for the modernization of writing in Hebrew?. It will show how these media\, whose emergence ran in historical parallel to the revitalization of Hebrew\, were an active force in shaping the language as a modern communicative medium. Hebrew was a historical media lab: written from right to left and in unique script\, it posed technical as well as conceptual challenges to media which were originally designed for Latin script and Western writing systems. The adaptation of these technologies to Hebrew required various adaptations that shaped lingual mechanisms\, which had social and political ramifications on the emerging Hebrew culture. \n\nIdo Ramati is a senior lecturer at The Noah Mozes Department of Communication and Journalism and the Program in Cultural Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He studies the relation between media technologies\, language and culture\, from historical and philosophical perspectives. Ramati is the author of Lingua Ex Machina: Media in the Revitalization of Modern Hebrew\, out now in University of Pennsylvania press. His current project is on AI voices\, focusing on the shaping of the human voice by historical and contemporary machines.

SUMMARY:Tours:Subject Matters: Oops\, we collected a photo! Now what?
DESCRIPTION:UMMA’s first photographs to enter the collection by accident in 1940. Then…. Nothing. The museum wouldn’t intentionally collect another photograph until 1971. Fast forward to today\, and photography is one of UMMA’s fastest-growing areas\, filled with powerful recent acquisitions by artists such as Catherine Opie\, Ming Smith\, Jess T. Dugan\, Jarod Lew\, Brian Adams\, Stephanie Syjuco\, and others. \n\nFor this special Subject Matters event\, UMMA Curator Dave Choberka and Interim Chief Curator and Associate Curator of Photography Jennifer Friess will bring visitors into UMMA’s study room—an intimate space used for teaching and research—to get up close with photographs pulled directly from collection storage. Over this 90-minutes session\, you’ll learn the story behind UMMA’s earliest photography “oopsies” and have a chance to compare them with the bold contemporary works shaping the collection today.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:II Cineforum
DESCRIPTION:II Cineforum: Italian Classics on Campus Film Screening Series\n\nFREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!\nFilm in Italian with English subtitles\n\nLocated in North Quad Space 2435\n\nTuesday\, February 10 @7pm\, Ladri di biciclette\, Vittorio De Sica\, 1948.\n\nFilm synopsis: Hailed around the world as one of the greatest movies ever made\, the Academy Award–winning Bicycle Thieves\, directed by Vittorio De Sica\, defined an era in cinema. In poverty-stricken postwar Rome\, a man is on his first day of a new job that offers hope of salvation for his desperate family when his bicycle\, which he needs for work\, is stolen. With his young son in tow\, he sets off to track down the thief. Simple in construction and profoundly rich in human insight\, Bicycle Thieves embodies the greatest strengths of the Italian neorealist movement: emotional clarity\, social rectitude\, and brutal honesty.\n\nTuesday\, March 17 @7pm\, La strada\, Federico Fellini\, 1954. \n\nFilm synopsis: There has never been a face quite like that of Giulietta Masina. Her husband\, the legendary Federico Fellini\, directs her as Gelsomina in La Strada\, the film that launched them both to international stardom. Gelsomina is sold by her mother into the employ of Zampanò (Anthony Quinn)\, a brutal strongman in a traveling circus. When Zampanò encounters an old rival in highwire artist the Fool (Richard Basehart)\, his fury is provoked to its breaking point. With La Strada\, Fellini left behind the familiar signposts of Italian neorealism for a poetic fable of love and cruelty\, evoking brilliant performances and winning the hearts of audiences and critics worldwide.\n\nTuesday\, April 7 @7pm\, Il bell'Antonio\, Mauro Bolognini\, 1960. \n\nFilm synopsis: In the lush city of Catania\, Sicily\, Antonio (Marcello Mastroianni) is regarded as the ultimate lover of women\, a title he holds dear. Yet not long after marrying the beautiful Barbara (Claudia Cardinale)\, Antonio’s new obligations begin to weigh on him\, and soon he is faltering in the bedroom. In short order\, his impotence is the talk of the town\, and Antonio is a laughingstock. As he tries to repair the damage to his marriage\, Barbara considers her options for leaving.

DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lucas Gomes Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Past extinction events throughout Earth’s history have arisen during periods of major environmental change\, offering unique lessons about how ecosystems function and respond to environmental pressures. By studying the environmental mechanisms that forced extinction and ecological change in the geologic record\, we can better prepare for and mitigate biodiversity loss in the face of present-day global environmental crises. Shallow marine ecosystems on the Florida Platform underwent a dramatic transformation over the past ~4 million years\, part of a “regional mass extinction” documented broadly around the Plio-Pleistocene West Atlantic. In this dissertation\, I resolve major gaps in the marine environmental record of the Plio-Pleistocene Florida Platform using stratigraphic\, paleontological\, and geochemical approaches\, enabling clearer evaluation of the environmental perturbations responsible for this regional extinction event.\n\nThe oxygen isotope composition of water (δ18Owater) is a useful tracer of the hydrological cycle and a critical parameter in carbonate-based (δ18Ocarb) paleotemperature studies. In Chapter 2\, I examine the controls on coastal δ18Owater variability along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard by mapping salinity–δ18Owater mixing relationships in estuaries from Maine to Florida. Relatively invariant marine δ18Owater signatures primarily track the prevailing coastal water mass\, while freshwater δ18Owater varies widely in response to regional gradients in precipitation (δ18Oprecip) signatures and evaporative intensity. Additional triple oxygen isotope (Δʹ17O) measurements of Florida river waters indicate a remarkable degree of evaporative isotope enrichment. This modern isotopic framework can be used to constrain assumptions about ancient δ18Owater compositions across this region and better interpret fossil δ18Ocarb records from coastal marine paleoenvironments.\n\nIn Chapters 3 and 4\, I present two new study sites containing fossil-rich Plio-Pleistocene sedimentary exposures in southwest (Florida Shell Quarry) and eastern Florida (Beeline Quarry)\, respectively. Detailed lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic characterization through each of these sections enable the detailed reconstruction of local depositional paleoenvironments and relative sea-level fluctuations. The development of these new sections and their careful integration within the historical Plio-Pleistocene stratigraphic framework of peninsular Florida establishes a foundation for renewed study of Florida’s paleoecological evolution over the past ~4 Myr. At Beeline Quarry (Chapter 4)\, I further apply clumped isotope (Δ47) thermometry to fossil shells to reconstruct water temperatures and δ18Owater compositions during deposition of the Nashua Fm. (Early Pleistocene) and Fort Thompson Fm. (Late Pleistocene). Surprisingly cool temperatures and depleted δ18Owater values in both units relative to modern coastal waters likely reflect persistent influence of submarine groundwater discharge along the Atlantic Coast of Florida.\n\nIn Chapter 5\, I reconstruct parallel records of marine climates and planktonic productivity across the six major Plio-Pleistocene formations of southwest Florida and use them to evaluate longstanding hypotheses that the regional extinction event was driven by (i) cooling marine climates and/or (ii) declining primary production. Marine climate seasonality and planktonic productivity were quantified by measuring Δ47 and Ba/Ca ratios\, respectively\, along the growth axes of fossil mollusk shells. The Δ47-temperature record reveals that remarkably cool Pliocene marine climates (similar to present-day North Carolina) warmed rapidly in the Early Pleistocene\, directly contradicting earlier cooling hypotheses and suggesting that rapid warming may have instead contributed to faunal turnover. Independently\, the Ba/Ca-derived productivity record indicates that high productivity persisted until the Early–Middle Pleistocene\, after which it collapsed\, broadly supporting the productivity-driven extinction hypothesis. Altogether\, this work greatly refines our understanding of the co-evolution of life and environments on the Plio-Pleistocene Florida Platform.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Public Opinion and U.S. Foreign Assistance
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 2025\, researchers from the University of Michigan’s Center for Emerging Democracies and Freedom House ran a survey experiment to test values-based\, humanitarian\, economic\, and national security messages related to foreign aid and found clear differences in what resonates\, and with whom.\n\nMessages emphasizing the life-saving impact of aid produced the strongest gains in overall support\, particularly among Democrats\, while economic impact frames were more persuasive among Republicans. Value-focused messages did not have an effect. This discussion will feature the highlights from the research as well as some background on USAID strategic communications and how practitioners might be able to use similar research going forward. Audience contributions to the discussion will be actively encouraged.\n\nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/12oUJgtBRhaNW8GNQaogkA

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:Livestream / Virtual:Firefighter Health: Examining the links between occupational exposure and cancer
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Goodrich's research interests combine toxicology\, epidemiology and epigenomics with the goal of identifying environmental exposures and their mechanisms that contribute to disease susceptibility at various life-stages (in utero\, early childhood\, and adulthood). Epigenetic modification by environmental factors is one mechanism that can link exposures to toxicity and disease outcomes. Dr. Goodrich is assessing the impact of exposures from the workplace (e.g. firefighting) or the broader environment (e.g.\, lead\, phthalates\, PFAS) on epigenetic modifications (DNA methylation) in epidemiological cohorts from around the globe using both candidate gene and epigenome-wide approaches. She integrates data on exposures\, DNA methylation\, and health outcomes to better understand disease risk from exposures at vulnerable life-stages. Dr. Goodrich is a co-Leader of the DoGoodS-Pi environmental epigenetics laboratory. She is also co-Leader of the Pan Omics and Data Sciences Core of the Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease (M-LEEaD) Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Maximizing the Interaction Strength
DESCRIPTION:QCD remains intractable in the high-energy soft regime\, where all standard methods break down. This regime governs total hadronic cross-sections\, which have long been observed to grow with energy\, a phenomenon that is still very poorly understood today. In this talk\, I will argue that the modern S-matrix bootstrap provides a systematic way to tackle this regime of QCD. I will derive an upper bound on the total cross-section at finite energy and present the strongest interacting amplitude that the bootstrap outputs. I will compare these results with proton–proton experimental data.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary QC-CM Seminar | Strong Terahertz electrodynamics in emergent 2D materials
DESCRIPTION:Terahertz (THz) sensing and imaging are critical in both quantum information technology and biomedical sensing because THz frequencies (0.1-10 THz) resonate with key low-energy information carriers (e.g.\, coherent phonons and magnons) in quantum materials and molecular vibrations in biological matter (e.g.\, skin tumor tissues and blood cells). In addition\, materials with THz response are essential building blocks for the next generation telecommunication technology. However\, the widespread use of THz technology has long been hindered by a lack of materials with strong THz light-matter interactions for high-performance devices.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present our recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) quantum materials to overcome these limitations by leveraging their unique topological properties and exploiting the resulting strong light-matter interactions. One remarkable example is the recently discovered nonlinear Hall effect (NHE) in 2D topological semimetals\, mediated by their diverging quantum geometrical properties [1-3]. In the first part of the talk\, I will report how we use this new notion to demonstrate the long-sought THz sensing metrics [4]. Specifically\, we have experimentally studied the unique interplay among the quantum geometrical properties\, gate-tunable electron correlation and THz electrodynamics in atomically thin topological semimetals TaIrTe 4 . Building upon the nonlinear Hall effect as a new mechanism for THz rectification\, we have observed a large zero-bias responsivity (~ 0.3 A/W)\, ultralow NEP (~pW/Hz 1/2 )\, broadband THz response (0.1 to 10 THz) and ultrafast intrinsic speed (~ ps) at room temperature. The device performance can be further enhanced by introducing gate-tunable electron correlations. Thanks to the new topological physics and strong electron correlation\, the demonstrated device metrics show tremendous advantages over the attainable THz detectors based on other 2D materials and conventional technology. Beyond light probing\, the rich interplay physics in this platform also allows using light to induce more exotic order. If time permits\, I may present our ongoing efforts along this way.\n\nDetecting terahertz waves is only one half of the equation\, in the second half of the talk\, I will introduce our report of colossal THz emission from a van der Waals (vdW) ferroelectric semiconductor NbOI 2 [5]. Using THz emission spectroscopy\, we observe a THz generation efficiency that is an order of magnitude higher than that of ZnTe. We uncover the underlying generation mechanisms tied to its substantial ferroelectric polarization by investigating the dependence of THz emission on excitation wavelength\, incident polarization and fluence. Leveraging the long-lived coherent ferron-mediated THz emission\, we further demonstrate the ultrafast coherent amplification and annihilation of the THz emission and associated coherent ferron oscillations by using an ultrafast double-pump scheme.\n\nReferences:\n\n[1] Q.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CANCELLED - Department Colloquium |  Is there Another Earth?
DESCRIPTION:Most stars in our galaxy have one or more planets orbiting them.  Their diversity is astounding\, with observed bulk densities ranging over a factor of 100.  Yet there is only one planet that is confirmed to sustain life as we know it: our own.  Current searches for life on planets around other stars planned with next generation ground- and space-based telescopes seek identical twins of Earth.  How likely is it that we will find one and detect unambiguous signs of life around it?  Perhaps the only thing harder than proving a planet hosts life is proving that it doesn’t.  We are beginning to understand which aspects of the Solar System make Earth a suitable place for the biochemical origins of life\, as well as assessing how common such systems are.  With new instruments such as the CGI on NASA’s Roman Space Telescope (launching this year)\, as well as METIS on the European Southern Observatories 39-meter ELT (with first light planned for 2029)\, we can detect small planets in both reflected light as well as thermal emission around stars like the Sun.  This enables resolution of the radius-albedo ambiguity\, determination of its energy budget\, and the search for an active greenhouse effect\, with the possibility of identifying the responsible molecules in the spectra of its atmosphere.  Doing this for even a small sample of systems will yield fundamental insights into these diverse atmospheres\, confronting our theories of planet formation and evolution.  These could be necessary steps to understanding potential biosignatures in these atmospheres and ultimately help answer the question “Are we alone?”.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Resonance Chains for Hyperbolic Surfaces with Large Funnels via Dynamical Zeta Functions
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will quantitatively relate the resonance sets of certain hyperbolic surfaces to the resonance sets of certain metric graphs via the spine graph construction. Resonance sets of metric graphs are known to contain structures known as ‘resonance chains’\, and so as a corollary I will show the existence of approximate resonance chains in resonance sets of these surfaces as specific geometric parameters become large. In the language of zeta functions\, these results can be restated in terms of the Selberg zeta functions of these surfaces degenerating to polynomials under an asymptotic limit.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Brewing a Revolution: How Coffee Transformed the Early United States
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 11\, 2026\n\nCoffee is among the most common goods traded and consumed worldwide\, and so omnipresent its popularity is often taken for granted. But even everyday habits have a history. When and why coffee became part of North American daily life is at the center of the recently published book\, Coffee Nation: How One Commodity Transformed the Early United States\, by Michelle Craig McDonald. Using a wide range of archival\, quantitative\, and material evidence\, McDonald follows coffee from the slavery-based plantations of the Caribbean and South America\, through the balance sheets of Atlantic world merchants\, into the coffeehouses\, stores\, and homes of colonial North Americans\, and ultimately to the growing import/export businesses of the early nineteenth-century United States that rebranded this exotic good as an American staple. The result is a sweeping history that explores how coffee shaped the lives of enslaved laborers and farmers\, merchants and retailers\, consumers and advertisers.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Error Recovery in Shannon-Whittaker Sampling
DESCRIPTION:The Shannon-Whittaker sampling theorem provides an exact digitization of an analog signal (a scalar function of a single variable). It is not immediately obvious that this digitization is robust against error in the sampled signal values. We will present an algorithm which shows that for certain types of sample error\, the Shannon-Whittaker sampling formula can be modified to recover a signal exactly even in the presence of error. We will also present several extensions of the Shannon-Whittaker sampling formula which make error recovery more stable in practice. Along the way\, we will also discuss aspects of frame theory\, which extend the idea of a basis for a vector space. Frames allow for information redundancy\, making them much more robust against noise than an ordinary basis.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chance Huiet\, tuba
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join the Tuba & Euphonium Studio for a recital by guest artist Chance Huiet. He will be joined by collaborative pianist Zhihua Tang\, an associate professor in collaborative piano at the Michigan State University College of Music.\n\nGUEST BIO\n\nCHANCE HUIET is currently the Assistant Professor of Euphonium and Tuba at Michigan State University. Prior to his appointment\, Chance was the replacement Principal Tuba with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra for several seasons. He also held the Principal Tuba position with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic from 2016-2024. Chance has performed with the orchestras of Cleveland\, Melbourne (Australia)\, Utah\, Detroit\, Kansas City\, Iceland\, and Malaysia\, and Kalamazoo\, Michigan based New Orleans-style group\, the Kanola Band.\n\nAs a soloist\, Chance has performed recitals around the country including a guest artist recital at the 2018 International Tuba and Euphonium Conference held at the University of Iowa. Chance performed the John Williams Tuba Concerto on a subscription series with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic in February 2022\, his first solo appearance with the orchestra. In March 2019\, he had the privilege of premiering Viet Cuong’s Concerto for Tuba and Wind Ensemble with the Purdue Fort Wayne Wind Ensemble.\n\nIn the last few years\, Chance has been interested in learning about birds and loves exploring the native birds in places he gets to travel. Most recently\, he saw the critically-endangered Helmeted Honeyeater in Healesville\, Australia. In the 1980s\, its population had dropped to fewer than 60 breeding pairs in the wild\, but is slowly growing due to diligent work at sanctuaries like in Healesville. Though not explicitly bird related\, he recorded and self-produced an album of original folk songs released in January 2021 called\, “For the Birds.” The album is on Spotify and all listening sources.\n\nHis primary teachers\, who deserve much gratitude\, include Orcenith Smith\, Jacob Cameron\, and Philip Sinder.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dave Simonett
DESCRIPTION:New solo music from the Trampled By Turtles lead singer and songwriter\n\nDave Simonett has spent almost two decades as the lead singer\, guitar player and songwriter for the widely popular and beloved roots band\, Tramped By Turtles. He also fronts Dead Man Winter\, a bull-bodied\, emotionally resonant brand of Americana-infused indie rock band. He now boldly steps forward with a shining collection of new solo material for the first time under his own name called Red Tail. While Dead Man Winter's Furnace was a much-needed cathartic experience for Simonett during a dark time\, he is not connecting these songs on Red Tail to his own life as he prefers to allow listeners to develop their own interpretations. The conversational and poetic style in which Simonett writes lends itself to this perfectly\, inspired by the spacious and stark Northern woods of Minnesota\, where he's from. Drawing from the outdoors\, Simonett uses light\, weather and imagery to paint introspective\, cinematic scenes that are easy to lose yourself in.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Exhibition. Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador
DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

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: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:Quantum Research Institute | Towards Quantum Control and Sensing with 227ThO Molecules and Other Radioactive Molecules for Fundamental Symmetry Test
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: West Hall 411\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99497477868?jst=2\n\nAbstract:\nThe Standard Model of particle physics accurately describes all fundamental particles discovered so far. However\, it is unable to address two great mysteries in physics\, the nature of dark matter and why matter dominates over antimatter throughout the Universe. Novel theories beyond the Standard Model may explain these phenomena. These models predict very massive particles whose interactions violate time-reversal (T) symmetry and would give rise to an electric dipole moment (EDM) along the spin of electron and nucleon. Thus\, searching for EDM provides a powerful probe to these new physics and sheds light on the mystery of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. \nThis talk outlines the roadmap to establish a new generation EDM measurement at Michigan State that can outperform the current generation of precision measurements testing hadronic T-violations. We report our ongoing effort at Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) to perform quantum control and sensing of 227ThO molecules and other radioactive molecules. These pave the way for quantum-enhanced test of fundamental symmetry\, projecting to constrain T-violating new physics in 10~100 TeV energy range\, exceeding what the Large Hadron Collider and its future upgrade could probe.\n\nBio:\nBorn in Hefei\, China\, I embarked on an international academic journey that took me from Singapore where I spent my undergraduate to Munich\, Germany\, where I earned both my MS and PhD. While my academic focus stays in physics\, my true passion lies in the exploration of diverse fields\, driven by curiosity. During my doctoral studies at the Technical University of Munich and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics\, I pioneered a nonconventional technique leveraging centrifugal force to decelerate molecular beams to a complete standstill.\n\nMy academic journey led me to Harvard University\, where I delved into precision molecular spectroscopy\, contributing to the investigation of fundamental symmetries in nature. Notably\, I achieved a groundbreaking milestone by measuring the most precise bound on the electron electric dipole moment\, utilizing cold Thorium Monoxide molecules as a quantum sensor.\n\nCurrently based at FRIB and MSU\, I am at the forefront of building a groundbreaking precision spectroscopy experiment. This initiative aims to synergize the rare isotope resources at FRIB with cutting-edge quantum technology in atomic and laser physics. The goal is to push the boundaries of fundamental symmetry testing\, marking a significant contribution to the field and further advancing our understanding of the physical universe.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Property Tax Base Fragmentation and Metropolitan Inequality in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Property taxes are the largest source of funding for local governments in the United States\, totaling more than $700 billion annually. But because of the highly fragmented nature of US local governments\, property taxes are highly unequal\, with local tax bases frequently varying by a factor of ten or more across distances of just a few miles--or even a single block. Using a dataset of 138 million geocoded property tax records\, this project measures the extent of tax base fragmentation in the United States\, identifying the metropolitan areas with the largest disparities in property taxes between jurisdictions. In addition\, we identify hundreds of \"municipal tax havens\,\" municipalities with extreme concentrations of wealth that effectively operate as tax shelters for residents and corporations based there. \n\nThis talk is part of the ISR Insights Speaker Series.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Lay All Your Love on Metadata: A New API for Discovery
DESCRIPTION:ICPSR maintains a collection of 60+ years of curated\, richly described research data available for reuse by social science researchers at all levels of experience. A key challenge to disseminating this data is making it findable – helping users discover our data resources and making them aware of the ways in which ICPSR data can support their research needs. \n\nTo address this challenge\, ICPSR created a metadata export API (Application Programming Interface) that enables individuals and institutions to programmatically retrieve study-level metadata about ICPSR studies in multiple standards-based formats. The API supports reuse of ICPSR metadata in local catalogs\, discovery systems\, research workflows\, and downstream applications. It extends and enriches ICPSR’s reach while increasing the FAIRness (findability\, accessibility\, interoperability\, and reusability) of its data collections. \n\nIn this presentation\, members of ICPSR’s metadata team will demonstrate the new metadata export API and its benefits\, including how to query it to find studies that meet specific research needs\, what information is returned in the results\, and how these exports improve upon ICPSR’s previous metadata distribution offerings. If you're interested in incorporating ICPSR data into another discovery platform\, this session will show you how to get started.\n\nPresenters:\n   * Mike Shallcross\, Senior Associate Archivist\, Metadata & Preservation\, ICPSR\n   * Megan Chenoweth\, Metadata Manager\, Metadata & Preservation\, ICPSR\n   * Jared Lyle\, Archivist and Director\, Metadata & Preservation\, ICPSR

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Marwah Al Ismail Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Landslides are catastrophic events that occur on critically unstable slopes in steep\, mountainous regions in response to external triggers\, such as seismic events or prolonged\,\nintense rainfall. The damage resulting from those landslides is mostly determined by their magnitude and size. Consequently\, assessing landslide hazards in steep\, tectonically active mountains at high altitudes remains a challenging task\; however\, advances in computational methods and technologies can make it achievable. This dissertation demonstrates the novel joint utility of mechanistic and statistical (chapters 2 and 3) and machine-learning (chapter 4) techniques for landslide analysis to understand the contribution of near-subsurface material strength\, topography\, and triggering factors to the regional distribution of landslide sizes.\n\nIn Chapters 2 and 3\, we use computational methods to assess hillslope stability using geotechnical engineering models\, combined with extensive probabilistic topographic\nsegmentation\, to generate a synthetic distribution of landslide sizes. Specifically\, we use 2D slope stability analysis to assess the probability of failure (P f ) for a given hillslope geometry (i.e.\, hillslope area and gradient) under subsurface strength conditions (i.e.\, cohesion and angle of friction). In addition\, using hydrological tools to discretize topography in a random\, probabilistic approach identifies the distribution of hillslope geometries prone to failure. The combined probabilities from mechanistic modeling and the availability of hillslopes in a given topography result in a synthetic distribution of landslide sizes. This modeled distribution allows us to investigate\, in great detail\, the impact of the variation in strength–and hence weathering–with depth and slope\, as well as the topography on the overall distribution. Using two different landslide inventory datasets: the 1994 Mw6.7 Northridge earthquake in Southern California and the 2015 Mw7.8 Gorkha earthquake in central Nepal\, we find that the variability in the weathering gradient with depth and the slope gradient is essential for accurate reproduction of regional landslide size distribution. Moreover\, because of the variable topographic gradient and climatic conditions within central Nepal\, we apply this framework to back-estimate the strength-depth profile for each sub-region within the study area from south to north. We find that back-estimated strength increases northward\, coinciding with increases in the topographic gradient and landslide density. These findings demonstrate the significance of the synthetic\ndistributions for identifying the controls on the regional landslide size distributions as well as providing an insight into the critical zone structure for hazard assessment and landscape evolution studies.\n\nChapter 4 provides an opportunity to explore the use of machine learning models for landslide analysis\, specifically for improving rainfall-triggered landslide forecasting. Steep mountain belts at high altitudes experience the orographic effect\, which produces intense rainfall and\, consequently\, triggers landslides. As rainfall-triggered landslide sizes are sensitive to rainfall event characteristics (i.e.\, storm depth and intensity)\, using accurate rainfall data with high spatial and temporal coverage is essential. Ground-based rainfall measurements from gauge stations provide an accurate source of data\; however\, gauge stations are usually sparsely located and limited in steep terrain\, where landslides are most common. In recent years\, remotely sensed precipitation measurements have provided high spatial and temporal resolution data\, but are often inaccurate\, especially on hillslopes at high altitudes. To overcome challenges in each dataset source\, we use machine learning models to predict calibrated rainfall data at locations where gauge stations are absent\, with a focus on the monsoon season\, during which rainfall intensifies. The use of machine learning approaches and associated evaluation metrics enables us to validate their utility for predicting the total rainfall during the monsoon season with high certainty\, compared with the original remotely sensed rainfall data. In addition\, the model’s predicted rainfall captured the annual distribution of storms during the monsoon season. Although the model’s accuracy at predicting the timing of extreme rainfall events (which trigger landslides)\, this work provides a promising avenue for using machine learning techniques to predict high-resolution\, high-temporal-resolution rainfall datasets.\n\nOn a broader scale\, this dissertation provides novel methodologies that enable us to improve landslide hazard analysis\, assessment\, and forecasting.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:On the performed power of taboo words in fictional television and film
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I focus on the fluidity between the regulation and the occurrence of taboo language within the fictional audiovisual media in the United States and show that tabooed lexical items in the fictional media are simultaneously performative and performed. Tabooed words present a fascinating source of cross-cultural and cross-linguistic puzzles\, puzzles that can be mediated through the indexicality of performativity (as action) and performance (as highly stylized representation). First\, I illustrate a range of functions fulfilled by taboo terms in the fictional media\, including their various grammatical functions and their place within the narrative. Second\, I show how the regulation of taboo usage highlights an iterative\, dialectic tension between performance and performativity. This tension is uniquely visible in the fictional media because\, on the one hand\, regulation occurs within the fictional material itself (e.g. a character performs the admonition of another character with “that’s a bad word”) and\, on the other\, regulation occurs through external institutions (such as\, in the United States\, the Federal Communication Commission or the Motion Picture Association of America). By drawing on the performativity of taboo utterances to reframe regulation away from preventing offence (due to breaking a taboo) to the ideological protection of children\, regulatory bodies must engage the dialectic between performance and performativity and thereby index competing cultural norms and ideologies\, mechanisms of prohibition\, commercial interests\, freedom of expression\, artistic/poetic expression\, and entertainment.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899: Soroosh Shafiee
DESCRIPTION:We investigate the problem of certifying optimality for sparse generalized linear models (GLMs)\, where sparsity is enforced through a cardinality constraint. While Branch-and-Bound (BnB) frameworks can certify optimality using perspective relaxations\, existing methods for solving these relaxations are computationally intensive\, limiting their scalability. To address this challenge\, we propose a unified proximal first-order algorithmic framework that is both linearly convergent and computationally efficient. We first develop a general theory for composite optimization problems satisfying specific geometric regularity conditions. \n\nBy establishing a rigorous link between primal quadratic growth and dual quadratic decay\, we derive novel error bounds showing that the computable duality gap can serve as a tight proxy for the distance to the solution set. Leveraging this property\, we design a restart scheme that upgrades generic sublinear algorithms to achieve provable linear convergence for both primal and dual objectives. We then instantiate this framework for the perspective relaxation of sparse GLMs. \n\nWe prove that standard GLM loss functions and the implicit perspective regularizer satisfy the required geometric conditions. Furthermore\, we develop specialized algorithms to evaluate the non-smooth regularizer and its proximal operator exactly in log-linear time\, avoiding the high cost of generic conic solvers. Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that our approach leverages GPU acceleration to speed up dual bound computations by orders of magnitude\, significantly enhancing the capability of BnB to certify optimality for large-scale problems.

DESCRIPTION:\"Shooting for the Stars: Jet-Wind Interactions and their Role in Understanding Jet Physics\"\n\nRelativistic Jets carry vast amounts of energy and magnetic flux from accreting black holes into the interstellar and intergalactic medium. They are routinely invoked as key sources of feedback in structure formation. And yet\, after over 60 years of study\, the mechanisms through which they couple with their environment\, and even their fundamental properties like particle content\, velocity\, and instantaneous power are still poorly understood. I will discuss a mechanism by which we can shed light on some of the outstanding questions in jet physics: Their interaction with stellar winds\, on scales from Galactic X-ray binaries to supermassive black holes in galaxy clusters.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DE seminar: Asymptotic linear stability of a class of columnar flow
DESCRIPTION:Constructing dynamical global-in-time solutions to 3D incompressible Euler equation is in general challenging. Recently Guo-Pausader-Widmayer made a breakthrough in this direction by proving asymptotic stability of a uniform-rotating static solution. Their approach heavily depends on the “uniform-rotating” of the background solution. In this talk I will present some recent progress on asymptotic linear stability of a more general columnar flow with non-uniform rotation. This is a joint work with Siqi Ren and Zhifei Zhang.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - The Ties That Bind: Evolutionary linkages between hosts\, viruses\, and genomes
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Many evolutionary processes are linked\, such that patterns in one unit inform patterns in the other. Identifying and understanding those linkages across biological scales is essential for predicting patterns of biodiversity\, disease\, and evolution\, among other variables. Here\, I integrate phylogenetic\, ecological\, and genomic approaches to examine linked evolution of mammals\, viruses\, and genomes. Specifically\, I will (1) assess the phylogenetic distribution of virus diversity across the Class Mammalia\, relative to host species richness\; (2) integrate host-virus suitability landscapes to gauge multi-annual level of risk for Choclo hantavirus and its rodent host (Oligoryzomys)\; and (3) test how mito-nuclear linkages shape hybrid dynamics in red-backed voles (Clethrionomys). Collectively\, these analyses demonstrate that evolutionary patterns in hosts\, viruses\, and genomes are tightly coupled\, such that processes operating across deep phylogeny\, geographic space\, and within-species genomic architecture mutually inform one another.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Labor\, Spirit\, and Sovereignty: Africa’s Great War\, Dr. Stephen and Lee Gork Endowed Lecture
DESCRIPTION:In writing histories of World War I\, the pull of linear narrative is an ever-present temptation\, holding out the promise of making the global conflict comprehensible. Yet under the surface of the war’s grand narratives are the many wayward histories that refuse to get in formation. The history of World War I in the African world can be\, and often has been\, written as military or political history\, in which imposing order on unruly details and examples compensates for Eurocentric sidelining or exclusion of African and African descended peoples from the historiography. This lecture examines sites of unruliness and insurgency in African histories of the war by analyzing African refusals of European imperial extraction. Faced with war-driven colonial labor and tax demands\, African peoples decried these unrelenting abuses in modes that drew on ancestral\, spiritual\, medicinal\, and Biblical authority\, gesturing towards sovereignty and political reconfiguration. Using examples from different parts of the African world\, this lecture argues for understanding the war years as a temporal frame for recognizing and naming multimodal African insurgencies against imperial extractivism and violence.\n\nMichelle Moyd is Associate Professor of History and Red Cedar Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University. She is the author of \"Violent Intermediaries: African Soldiers\, Conquest\, and Everyday Colonialism in German East Africa\,\" published by Ohio University Press in 2014. Her peer-reviewed articles have appeared in Radical History Review\, Slavery and Abolition\, and International Labor and Working Class History. She is currently working on \"The African World and the First World War\,\" under contract with Cambridge University Press for the New Approaches to African History series.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by generous contributions from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg and Stephen and Lee Gork.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Visualizing photoinduced electron transfer in molecular photocatalysts using ultrafast x-ray spectroscopy
DESCRIPTION:Photocatalytic dyads that combine chromophore and catalytic centers are commonly employed motifs for homogeneous light-induced multi-electron transfer catalysis. The efficiency and dynamics of directional charge separation within these molecular systems are critical excited state properties that underpin the photochemical activity of the dyads. The excited state dynamics of such systems are often investigated using optical spectroscopy methods\, which afford the high temporal resolution to capture the ultrafast dynamics of charge migration\, but are not explicitly site selective. Alternatively\, element-specific ultrafast x-ray spectroscopy offers a unique opportunity to track the redistribution of charge across the specific molecular motifs within the dyad. We are applying a combination of metal and ligand atom x-ray absorption spectroscopies to resolve the degree of intramolecular excited state charge separation in tetrapyridophenazine (tpphz)-bridged photocatalytic dyads. This work reveals electron accumulation as the primary mechanistic role of azaacene containing bridging ligands employed in photocatalytic dyads.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nathan R. Platte\, \"Glad Company: A Songful History of Mary Poppins’s Bert\"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Musicology hosts a talk by guest scholar Nathan R. Platte\, Professor of Musicology\, University of Iowa. Free and open to the public.\n\nIn Pamela Travers’s *Mary Poppins* novels\, Bert is a minor character. In Disney’s 1964 film musical\, he is a major one: a friend\, mentor\, father figure\, and jack-of-all trades who sings half of the film’s songs. This presentation accounts for the difference between books and film by showing how Bert’s character became a recurring solution to problems arising in the film’s development. Increasingly\, Bert’s songs came to hold the more slippery threads of Travers’s novels\, including matters of social standing\, affection\, and spiritual wonder. Drawing together story treatments\, conference notes\, scripts\, and song drafts\, this talk frames Bert as a reconciling presence\, whose onscreen assistance of others echoes his role in assuaging disagreement between novelist Travers and the film’s songwriters\, Richard and Robert Sherman.\n\nRefreshments to follow.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Basil Twist
DESCRIPTION:\n\nBasil Twist is a visionary\, third-generation puppeteer whose work has reshaped contemporary puppetry worldwide. A San Francisco native and the only American graduate of France’s École Supérieure Nationale des Arts de la Marionnette\, he gained national attention with The Araneidae Show and the ground-breaking multiple award-winning Symphonie Fantastique\, which revealed him as a singular artist of unlimited imagination. His inventive\, genre-defying productions - from Petrushka and Dogugaeshi to Arias with a Twist (co-created with nightlife icon Joey Arias) - have toured internationally. \n\nDeeply musical in nature\, Twist’s love of music has led to major opera collaborations at the Opéra Comique\, English National Opera\, Houston Grand Opera\, and Vienna State Opera. Other operatic highlights include Hansel and Gretel and La Bella Dormente Nel Bosco\, and De Falla’s Master Peters Pupper Show with Eos Orchestra. \n\nIn dance\, he has created puppetry for works by Christopher Wheeldon\, Pilobolus\, the Joffrey Ballet\, Dutch National Ballet\, San Francisco Ballet\, Royal Ballet\, and Joe Goode Dance Company\, and adapted Petrushka for symphony orchestras and City Center’s Fall for Dance. \n\nTwist created the siblings in Paula Vogel’s The Long Christmas Ride Home at Trinity Repertory\, The Long Wharf\, and The Vineyard Theatre\, including directing and designing the West Coast premiere at The Magic Theatre. He also designed the play-within-a-play for Oskar Eustis’ Hamlet at Shakespeare in the Park and worked on Des McAnuff’s Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots at La Jolla Playhouse. Broadway credits include puppetry design for Charlie and The Chocolate Factory\, Oh\, Hello!\, and The Addams Family\, as well as puppetry direction for the Pee-Wee Herman Show. A longtime collaborator with the late Lee Breuer and Mabou Mines\, Twist also worked on Peter and Wendy\, Red Beads\, and A Streetcar Named Desire at the Comédie Française.\n\nTwist has received a MacArthur Fellowship\, Rome Prize\, Guggenheim Fellowship\, Doris Duke Performing Artist Award\, USA Fellowship\, and multiple Obie\, Drama Desk\, Bessie\, UNIMA\, and Henry Hewes Awards. He directs the internationally recognized Dream Music Puppetry Program at HERE in New York City.\n\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.

Lens\, a professor of urban planning and public policy at UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs\, will discuss Where the Hood At? Fifty Years of Change in Black Neighborhoods\, a comprehensive look at the evolution of Black neighborhoods over the past five decades that helps us better understand why some predominantly Black neighborhoods have flourished while others have not.\n\nPresented by the U-M Taubman College Urban and Regional Planning Program and co-sponsored by U-M Ford School of Public Policy and U-M Poverty Solutions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bowerbirds: Optimization\, The Evolution of Aesthetics\, and Art
DESCRIPTION:Native to Australia and Papua New Guinea\, bowerbirds’ uniquely curatorial behavior has long fascinated ornithologists and evolutionary biologists\, who cannot explain their creative process. Different birds choose and arrange objects in surprisingly different ways. They are often described as the artists of the animal world because their creations are as difficult to understand as those of human artists. Their arrangements demonstrate a sensitivity to scale\, composition\, texture\, and the interaction of color. There is no way to express their process as a step-by-step algorithm or optimization problem. Like human art\, their compositions transcend easily measurable metrics like efficiency\, quantity\, and strength. Bowerbot is a robotic bowerbird that transforms an empty gallery space by arranging colorful objects such as flowers\, leaves\, and trash. Visitors will offer Bowerbot objects\, which it might accept or reject. Using artificial intelligence (AI) trained on photographs of bowerbirds’ elaborate bowers\, Bowerbot will learn how male bowerbirds create “artworks” to attract a mate.

SUMMARY:Performance:Fauré Piano Quartets
DESCRIPTION:The 23/24 season featured a recital debut by violinist James Ehnes\, who captivated Rackham Auditorium with his insightful commentary and expressive playing. Now Ehnes is joined by pianist Inon Barnatan\, violist Jonathan Vinocour\, and cellist Raphael Bell for a program of Fauré’s two piano quartets. Gabriel Fauré’s youthful first piano quartet\, full of intoxicating melodies\, is paired with his strikingly individual\, impassioned second quartet. Among his best-known chamber works\, Fauré’s piano quartets are exquisitely crafted and ideal vehicles for these four superb artists and musical soulmates.\n\n“The wondrous James Ehnes [is] a thinker of the violin as well as a supreme virtuoso of the instrument…an artist of the first order.” (The Daily Telegraph) Inon Barnatan is admired for his “superior playing\, in which penetrating musicianship\, compelling interpretive insight\, and elegant pianism achieve near perfect equilibrium.” (BBC Music)

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Exhibition. Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador
DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

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:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

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:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Luke Miratrix\, Professor of Education\, Faculty Director Doctor of Education Leadership Program\, Harvard University
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Matching promises simple and transparent causal inferences for observational data\, making it an attractive approach in many settings\, especially given its easily communicated and intuitive rationale. Matching methods “match” treated units to control units with similar covariates\, with the goal of achieving joint covariate balance between treated and control units\, as would be expected in a randomized experiment. In practice\, however\, standard matching methods often perform poorly compared to more recent approaches such as response-surface modeling and balancing. Finding close matches for treated units becomes particularly challenging when there are many covariates and overlap is low\, which can lead to imbalanced matched treatment groups\, biased effect estimates\, or low effective sample sizes. Building on a host of literature\, including synthetic control methods\, classic matching approaches\, and coarsened exact matching\, we propose Caliper Synthetic Matching (CSM) to address challenges with finding quality matches while preserving simple and transparent matching diagnostics. CSM\, a version of radial matching\, is an adaptive caliper matching method that utilizes locally built synthetic controls to adjust for inexact matches. By combining adaptive calipers and synthetic controls\, CSM produces data-driven bounds on potential extrapolation biases while exploiting local linearity to interpolate in a principled manner. Due to the local nature of CSM\, we can also detect which units are more difficult to match and assess degree of overlap.  We can even locally adapt caliper width to more tightly control bias in information dense regions. We show that CSM belongs to the monotonic imbalance bounding (MIB) class of matching methods\, and that it improves upon the bias bounds for popular MIB methods such as coarsened exact matching. We finally give theoretical results on an inferential strategy that allows for reuse of controls by different treated units (matching with replacement).

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:AMS Ages on Adhered Carbonized  Food Residues from Ceramic Vessel Interior Walls: Retrospective and Current Research Directions
DESCRIPTION:This collaborative overview of the use of adhered carbonized food residues\, sometimes referred to as “food crusts”\, will attempt to achieve several goals. First\, we will provide a personalized historical backdrop to the early applications of Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (AMS) dating to carbonized cooking residues on the interior walls of ceramic vessels. This historical framework will also introduce early examinations of the taphonomy of such residues\, as well as the various skepticisms that arose about the accuracy of resulting AMS ages. Second\, among the acknowledged benefits of this relatively new approach was recognition that such ages were direct dates on one or a series of cooking behaviors\, rather than an age on datable materials in near\, or not so near\, physical association with objects of interest. This benefit was often initially focused on chronology building. Subsequent research extended to questions about the freshwater reservoir effect and offsets and evaluation of stable isotope content particularly with respect to the presence of maize/ The latter included analysis of plant microfossils. Finally\, we present current collaborative residue research\, including questions regarding the effects of different pretreatments to samples\, the statistical consistency of multiple age assays\, and age variations in the interior wall locations from which samples derive. The latter will employ Upper Great Lakes examples for illustration.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Political Mobilization\, Authority and Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:We live in a moment of intense global political mobilization. Popular movements—both state and non-state—are reshaping political life by preserving\, contesting\, and reworking state power. As the boundaries between citizen and subject\, resistance and authority\, become increasingly blurred\, long-standing frameworks for understanding collaboration and power demand reconsideration.\n\nThis workshop centers the figure of the intermediary—particularly colonial intermediaries who operated as both agents and instruments of imperial rule. We invite scholars to explore how these actors complicate binary narratives of resistance and collaboration\, coercion and consent. How do we account for the moral ambiguity\, partial complicity\, and aspirational authority of those who worked in the shadow of power as translators\, clerks\, soldiers\, chiefs\, informants\, and community figures within popular movements and state-making projects?\n\nJoin us for a conversation that revisits power\, agency\, and political belonging across historical and geographic contexts.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar> When Division Leaves a Message: Midbody Remnants as a New Type of Actively Translating Extracellular Vesicle
DESCRIPTION:The midbody remnant (MBR) is now recognized as a unique\, large extracellular vesicle (EV) that originates from the midbody structure formed during cytokinesis. Recent studies show that MBRs harbor active translation machinery and a distinctive set of RNAs and proteins\, including key cell fate\, pluripotency\, and oncogenic transcripts. Unlike canonical small EVs\, these post-abscission MBRs maintain regulated protein synthesis and can influence recipient cell behavior\, indicative of their novel role in intercellular communication. The identification of MBRs as translating EVs not only broadens our understanding of EV diversity but also offers new opportunities for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in cancer\, stem cell biology\, and tissue regeneration.\n\nHost: Babli Adhikary\, MCDB Community Engagement Committee

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:AI as Self-Discovery: How Large Language Models Reveal the Essence of the Human Mind\, and Why It Matters
DESCRIPTION:Most discussions of artificial intelligence center on its instrumental role—how it will transform industries and economies. But it may do something even more radical: reveal who we are. As artificial minds become more capable\, they will expose the deep principles underlying human thought—how reasoning\, agency\, and creativity actually work. AI thus offers not just a technological revolution but a humanistic one. This new self-understanding\, I argue\, will force us to rethink core ideas about mind\, agency\, and the basis of praise and blame.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Navigating the New North: Data Insights About the Changing Canadian Consumer Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Long-standing relationships and consumer behaviour between Canada and the United States experienced a significant shift in 2025 in part due to trade negotiations between the two nations. Canadians reacted to these changes by promoting a ‘buy-Canadian’ focus and choosing to travel less frequently to the United States.\n\nUsing data from Statistics Canada and other Canadian sources\, we will discuss how these trends are reflected in the data and will highlight how socio-economic conditions have changed during this period of transformation between our neighbouring countries.\n\nThis webinar is part of the 2026 ICPSR Data Fair @ Love Data Week. For more information\, please visit myumi.ch/ICPSRLoveDataWeek.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Sprout symmetric functions (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss certain sequences (R_0\, R_1\, ...) of symmetric functions that we call *sprout symmetric functions*. Many examples of sprout symmetric functions have already appeared in the literature\, connected with such topics as the symmetric function generalization of the Tutte polynomial of a graph\, Hirzebruch's L-genus\, and zeta polynomials of binomial posets. We first consider basic properties of sprout symmetric functions\, in particular\, their expansion into classical bases for symmetric functions. Especially interesting is the Schur function expansion\, which is closely related to the Edrei-Thoma theorem from the theory of total positivity. We conclude with some examples that unify and generalize results from the theory of permutation enumeration.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Towards parameter-free continuum models of materials
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  The behavior of solids beyond standard linear elasticity remains a central challenge in computational mechanics\, particularly when microstructural effects and non-linear processes arise. In this context\, continuum solid mechanics has seen significant progress\, with a plethora of constitutive models developed over the past decades to address these issues. Yet\, while scalable\, such constitutive modeling approaches introduce uncertainty through phenomenological assumptions and tuning parameters. Hence\, in this talk\, we pivot towards micromechanical models that naturally capture effective emergent behavior\, with examples including granular materials and metamaterials. To recover scalability\, we explore multiscale methods that bridge micromechanics and the continuum scale\, leveraging data-driven computing or variational homogenization to arrive at parameter-free constitutive laws. Recent advances and open issues in these areas will be discussed.\n\nContact:  Silas Alben

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department Colloquium: Ian Campbell (Heidelberg)
DESCRIPTION:I am an Akademischer Rat (Assistant Professor) at Heidelberg University\, currently serving as a Vertretungsprofessor (Visiting Professor) for the Chair of Ancient Philosophy at Tübingen University. Before coming to Heidelberg\, I held postdoctoral positions at the Munich School of Ancient Philosophy (LMU Munich)\, at the Human Abilities Center (Humboldt-University Berlin) and at Princeton University\, where I also completed my PhD in 2019. I grew up in the Bitterroot Valley in Western Montana and studied Philosophy and Classics at the University of Montana before coming to Princeton. \n\nMy research is centered on ancient Greek theoretical philosophy\, with a particular emphasis on metaphysics and philosophical methodology in the works of Plato and Aristotle\, as well as in certain Presocratic and Sophistic thinkers. An overarching focus of my research is on the ways in which Plato and Aristotle demarcate philosophy from rival intellectual pursuits\, such as sophistry and rhetoric. My current research project is a monograph on Aristotle's theory of fallacy in the Sophistici Elenchi. I also have research and teaching interests in classical Indian philosophy (esp. Madhyamaka and Nyāya) and environmental philosophy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Introduction to derived deformation theory
DESCRIPTION:In algebraic geometry\, one often encounters the question of infinitesimally deforming an object of interest such as varieties and coherent sheaves\, and classical deformation theory offers one framework to answer such questions.   \nIn this talk\, I will introduce a more modern perspective of deformation theory via derived algebraic geometry and give some motivations for taking this alternative perspective as well as applications without delving into technical details. The knowledge of derived algebraic geometry will not be assumed\, and I also plan to review classical deformation theory in the talk as well.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Mini-Talks
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences will hear three mini-talks from current graduate students.\n\nAdriana Brown: The evolution of seawater temperature and oxygen isotopes in the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway using carbonate clumped isotopes\n\nThe Western Interior Seaway (WIS) was a vast epicontinental sea that inundated North America in a series of transgressive-regressive marine cycles from the Early to Late Cretaceous. The WIS has been studied as a classic shallow Cretaceous seaway with a complex stratigraphic record of the interplay between tectonics\, climate\, sea level\, basin evolution\, and faunal evolution. However\, fundamental questions remain unresolved regarding the WIS\, including how seawater temperatures and oxygen isotope compositions (δ18Ow) varied latitudinally and through time. A robust record of reconstructed temperature and water isotopes could help explain paleoceanographic and environmental conditions in the WIS\, but this has traditionally been challenging due to limited sample coverage and poor constraints on δ18Ow. Here\, we use carbonate clumped isotopes (𝚫47) measurements of 119 well-preserved oysters to reconstruct temperature and δ18Ow from the Albian to Maastrichtian between 25 to 57 °N. This dataset approximately triples the amount of 𝚫47 WIS temperature and δ18Ow values published to date. From this\, we find that in each time period the seaway remained consistently warm through all U.S. latitudes and may have been influenced by freshwater runoff from emerging highlands. Canadian temperatures indicate a cooler and potentially less saline water source entering the seaway from the North. We relate these changes in temperature and isotopic composition to global and regional sea level fluctuations\, tectonic regimes\, and paleocirculation dynamics.\n\n--\n\nRory Sweedler: Topographic diversity gradients revealed among latest Cretaceous multituberculate mammals\n\nToday\, mountainous regions are hotspots of mammalian biodiversity\, forming patterns known as topographic diversity gradients\; however\, interactions between mountain uplift and mammalian biodiversity in deep time are poorly understood. I compare the taxonomic diversity of a group of mammals\, multituberculates\, from two sites from the latest Cretaceous of Wyoming during the uplift of the North American Cordillera. Higher species richness of multituberculates at the mountain-proximal site compared to the mountain-distal site\, nearly 400 km to the east\, is interpreted as evidence of a topographic diversity gradient. Similarities in faunal composition between mountain-proximal sites across the latest Cretaceous Western Interior of North America suggest tectonic processes as important drivers of mammalian biodiversity and community composition in the past and present.\n\n-- \n\nMack Taylor: The Failed Supervolcano Spirit Mountain (Avi Kwa Ame) and The Critical Role of Basalt and Pre-existing Aplite Dikes in Producing Eruptible High-SiO 2 Rhyolite\n\nHigh-SiO2 (≥76 wt%) rhyolite (HSR) is the most differentiated magma on Earth. Generally restricted to thin (<20 cm) aplite dikes within arc granitoids\, voluminous accumulations of HSR in plutonic rocks are rare at subduction zones but do occur in regions of continental extension. Among the few examples known is the Miocene bimodal (granite-diorite) Spirit Mountain pluton of the Colorado River Extensional Corridor\, NV. Evidence from the literature shows the ~6 km thick (x ~25 km) pluton assembled incrementally via sheets of low-SiO2 rhyolite over a 2 m.y. interval. It features a ~1.5 km thick leucogranite cap (76-78 wt% SiO2) that zones down through ≥4.5 km of coarse granite into a quartz monzonite\, which contains abundant mafic enclaves. Within the coarse granite\, discrete silicic segregations and aplite dikes are found with a HSR composition\, like the leucogranite cap. However\, there are distinct compositional differences\, including a relative depletion of middle rare earth elements\, reflecting the presence of titanite during melt segregation. This horseshoe REE pattern is not seen in the leucogranite cap\, which instead features a seagull pattern\, indicating that titanite melted out when it formed. Previous studies have emphasized the role of compaction in a crystal-rich mush to drive segregation of interstitial melts\, producing the leucogranite cap and quartz monzonite (cumulate) base. In this study\, we test a modification of this model and examine whether the HSR leucogranite cap formed by episodic partial melting of the granitic base\, driven by the influx of hot\, H2O-rich fluids from deeper\, degassed basaltic intrusions. We further explore the role of pre-existing aplite dikes during partial melting of the granitoid host. These eutectic HSR aplite dikes would have melted completely when the host granitoid was only partially molten (with titanite melted out). The initial ascent of the aplite dikes would have drawn voluminous partial melt out of the host granite. We show that resulting molten high-SiO2 rhyolite dikes ≥0.5 m width (exceeding critical widths) could have ascended through several km of sub-solidus granite at ≥ 600°C. Presumably\, if an influx of basalt had intruded beneath the leucogranite cap\, releasing hot fluid\, it could have induced its rapid melting and thus eruption of HSR with a seagull REE pattern.

SUMMARY:Presentation:The Elasticity of Empire: Palestine\, War\, and the Point of the List
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines how US empire operates as a topological formation that projects its national security apparatus through mediated arrangements of power\, mobile technologies\, and blurred genres of rule that link far-flung sites in intimate and often indeterminate ways. Drawing on over a decade of research conducted in Palestine on the embedding of Washington’s counterterrorism regime into monetary transactions and aid flows inbound to the Palestinians\, this talk presents a different analytic of the US war state – one that realizes its destructive effects not only through spectacular modalities of violence and warfare\, but increasingly so\, through a quieter\, temporally stretched process of constriction that progressively erodes conditions of livability through forced disconnection and isolation.\n   \n   ---\n   \n   Lisa Bhungalia is an Assistant Professor of Geography and International Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and core faculty member of the Middle East Studies Program. Their research examines evolving modalities of late-modern war\, empire and transnational linkages between the US and Southwest Asian and North African region. Their first book\, Elastic Empire: Refashioning War through Aid in Palestine\, published by Stanford University Press in 2024\, traces the deepening entanglements of aid\, law\, and war in Palestine with attention to the surveillance and policing regimes produced through the embedding of counterterrorism laws and infrastructures into civilian aid flows. They are also currently developing new research on the embedding of sanctions regimes into global circuits of finance. They are the recipient of the Middle East Studies Association 2024 Albert Hourani Book Award\, the Middle East Monitor 2024 Palestine Academic Book Award\, and the American Association of Geographers 2025 Glenda Laws Award\, and their research has been supported by the American Council of Learned Societies\, National Science Foundation\, and Palestinian American Research Center\, among other bodies.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at is-michigan@umich.edu.

Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/dg461\n \nOver the last forty years\, the Government of India has rapidly expanded access to primary education. As a result\, India has achieved near-universal enrollment in education\, previously a pox on India's social development record. At the same time\, there has been an explosion in private education. What explains this double movement? I argue that the expansion of government education in a society marked by caste hierarchies has led to the exit of upper caste groups to private schools and a decrease in state-level public funding for governmentm education. Together\, they help explain the case of Indian education that exhibits high enrollment\, high aspirations\, high private school access\, and low quality.\n   \n   Emmerich Davies is a research fellow at the School for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Performance:Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir
DESCRIPTION:The internationally acclaimed Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir\, under the direction of Tõnu Kaljuste\, celebrates the famed Estonian composer Arvo Pärt and the indelible mark he has left on choral singing and classical music over his 90 years. As a composer\, Pärt has changed the course of music — both within and beyond the classical sphere. Profound\, powerful\, and beloved worldwide\, his work transcends time and space\, taking us beyond everyday existence into another realm.\n\nThe EPCC is well-versed in interpreting the spiritual depth and minimalist aesthetic that characterize Pärt’s music\, having often premiered and performed his works under his direction. Renowned for their resplendent sound\, the ensemble was named one of the 10 Best Choirs in the World by BBC Magazine\, as anyone who has attended one of their previous six UMS concerts in Hill Auditorium and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church can attest.

SUMMARY:Performance:Pieta Brown & The Taken
DESCRIPTION:“Her artistry combines folk\, country and dusky swamp in a graceful\, supple and elegant genre of their own.\" –American Songwriter\n\nHailed as a “self-styled poetess\, folk goddess\, and country waif” by the BBC\, Pieta Brown first came to international prominence with the release of her self-titled debut in 2002. Since then she has released multiple highly critically acclaimed albums\, EPs and singles\, with much attention being paid not only to her distinct sound and style\, but also the power of her singing and songwriting.\n\nAlthough the Alabama-bred\, Iowa-based Brown’s quietly riveting tunes and gritty\, charismatic performing style resist easy categorization\, they’ve helped her to win a fiercely loyal international fan base that extends to many of her fellow artists.\n\n“When Pieta sings you’re aware of something effortless and natural\, like rain on earth\,” Mark Knopfler observed\, while Don Was called her “a great singer-songwriter who possesses major star-power magnetism\,” and Iris DeMent described her as “the best poet I’ve heard in a long damn time.”\n\nBon Iver frontman Justin Vernon says Paradise Outlaw is “probably my favorite record ever made at our studio.”\n\nPieta has toured extensively since her first release\, and has performed at festivals in the US\, Canada and around the world\, including Bonnaroo\, Mountain Jam\, Calgary Folk Fest\, Edmonton Folk Music Festival\, Portfairy Folk Festival\, Celtic Connections\, and more. Pieta’s songs and music have been heard in various TV Shows and indie films\, and her albums Paradise Outlaw and Mercury both reached #1 on various radio charts. Pieta has also made guest appearances on National Public Radio shows including World Cafe\, KCRW\, Mountain Stage\, E-Town\, Folk Alley\, and Weekend Edition.\n\n“In her hands the blues hover with cloudy foreboding and old-time songs become billowy dances.” ~ Chicago Reader

SUMMARY:Performance:Hiss Golden Messenger
DESCRIPTION:Hiss Golden Messenger is the long-running musical project led by North Carolina-based singer\, songwriter\, and producer M.C. Taylor. The project has evolved over the last decade into one of the most respected and celebrated in contemporary Americana\, blending folk\, country\, soul and gospel influences with deeply introspective\, poetic\, and conscious songwriting. \n\nAcross multiple critically acclaimed\, Grammy nominated albums\, Hiss Golden Messenger has become known for its warmth and emotional clarity\, as well as Taylor’s ability to connect the personal and poetic with the political without losing intimacy or musical grace. \n\nThe forthcoming I’m People continues this trajectory\, offering a reflective collection of songs that speaks to resilience\, community\, radical hopefulness\, and the quiet human moments that animate and illuminate the everyday. It is among Taylor’s greatest and most profound work. \n\nHiss Golden Messenger sits naturally alongside artists and releases that value craft\, storytelling\, and authenticity\, and aligns well with audiences attuned to indie\, folk\, Americana\, roots\, and contemporary country music.\n\nVIP Package includes:\nOne (1) general admission ticket to see Hiss Golden Messenger live\nHear MC Taylor play some songs featured in current setlists\nQ&A: Ask MC some questions (Got questions about gear? Songwriting? Ask away!)\nTake a group photo\nTour poster signed by MC\nCommemorative VIP laminate\nHiss merch shopping before doors open to the public\nEarly entry into the venue
