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:Other:Wonder Walk: Desert Dreaming
DESCRIPTION:In the deserts of southern Africa\, a remarkable group of plants has evolved into forms so unusual that they often look more like stones than living organisms. These plants\, in the family Aizoaceae\, have developed extraordinary adaptations that allow them to survive intense heat\, drought\, and predation. In this edition of Desert Dreaming\, we’ll explore how these plants live\, how they evolved\, and how people cultivate them today. We’ll also look at the threats they face in the wild\, and what we can do to help ensure their survival for generations to come.”  Learn to grow lithops from seed! \n\nMatthaei Botanical Gardens is hosting free guided nature walks on select Wednesdays and Sundays.  These walks are FREE\, no registration is required. Wonder Walks are designed for all ages to inspire curiosity and learning from each other through activities that model curiosity and honor nature. If we have a sizeable mixed-age group\, we may separate into two sets to offer the same content at different levels of engagement.\n \nDesert Dreaming is an indoor walk in the conservatory at Matthaei Botanica Gardens.

SUMMARY:Tours:Sunday Drop-In Tour | Everything Old Is New Again
DESCRIPTION:This drop-in tour examines the fascinating overlaps found in artworks\, whether created in the ancient Mediterranean\, during the European Renaissance\, or in the modern era. “Everything Old Is New Again” explores artifacts within the Kelsey\, likening them to more recent famous works of art found outside the museum’s walls.  Works such as Marc Chagall’s *I and the Village* will be compared to the Djehutymose coffin\, and we will discuss Kelsey’s naturalistic Fayum portrait in comparison to Leonardo da Vinci’s *Mona Lisa*\, to name a few. This tour will make about eight stops within the Kelsey\, accompanied by large photographs of artwork outside the museum.\n\nThis event is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.

SUMMARY:Performance:Terence Blanchard and Ravi Coltrane
DESCRIPTION:The year 1926 saw the birth of two towering figures who reshaped the landscape of 20th-century music: Miles Davis and John Coltrane. In this limited tour\, two of today’s most visionary musicians come together to honor their legacies in a concert that is more than just a centennial tribute\, but a living\, breathing continuation of their spirit.\n\nSaxophonist Ravi Coltrane has spent his career carving out his own voice while remaining deeply attuned to his father’s innovations in an approach that is both reverent and exploratory. Trumpeter Terence Blanchard brings his deep connection to Miles Davis’s legacy through his own groundbreaking work and his deep study of Davis’s fearless artistry. Together\, they lead an ensemble of world-class musicians in a testament to the genre’s endless evolution\, drawing inspiration from classic works while creating something unmistakably new.\n\nThis concert marks Terence Blanchard’s UMS debut and Ravi Coltrane’s second appearance\, following his memorable 2006 performance with his mother\, pianist and harpist Alice Coltrane.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Movie Night - Unmistaken Child
DESCRIPTION:A rare\, intimate journey into faith\, reincarnation\, doubt\, and karma. Unmistaken Child follows a young monk (Geshe Tenzin Zopa\, ALC's Khyentse Visitor) on an extraordinary mission: to find the reincarnation of his beloved teacher\, one of Tibetan Buddhism’s great masters. Traveling through remote Himalayan villages\, his search unfolds not as spectacle but as a deeply human story of love\, loss\, and responsibility. With breathtaking landscapes and quietly powerful moments\, the film captures the fragile space where ancient tradition meets real lives. There is no narration telling you what to believe—only faces\, silences\, and the emotional weight of a decision that will forever change a child and his family. Both moving and unsettling\, Unmistaken Child invites viewers to witness a living spiritual tradition while asking timeless questions: How do we recognize another soul? What is the cost of being found? Tender\, beautiful\, and unforgettable\, this acclaimed documentary lingers long after the screen goes dark.

SUMMARY:Performance:RJ Cowdery\, Katie Dahl\, and Hope Dunbar
DESCRIPTION:Songwriters in the round\n\nRj Cowdery writes the kind of songs that sneak up on you—quiet\, honest\, and armed with just enough wit to keep you on your toes. Hailing from southeastern Ohio\, with Appalachian roots woven into her stories\, she balances heart-tugging ballads with a sly grin and the occasional perfectly timed zinger. Along the way\, she’s earned top honors at Mountain Stage NewSong\, Kerrville New Folk\, Sisters Folk Festival\, to name a few. Fellow musicians call her “the real deal\,” audiences call her music “a warm blanket\,” and she just calls it “medicine.”\n\nHope Dunbar has been a pioneer of what she calls \"New American Prairie style\,\" crafting semi-autobiographical songs that transform everyday life into art. Her work has garnered recognition\, including being a three-time finalist at the Kerrville New Folk Song Contest. After residing in a small town in Nebraska\, Dunbar relocated to New Jersey\, bringing her unique \"Big Sky sound\" to the East Coast. \n\nClear-eyed and tough-minded\, songwriter/playwright Katie Dahl is known for her smart songs\, wry wit\, and wise spirit. A small-town celebrity on the Wisconsin peninsula where her family has lived for 175 years\, Katie is also an internationally touring\, radio-charting artist who “delivers razor-sharp lyrics with a hearty\, soulful voice” (American Songwriter). In live shows that are both courageously honest and devilishly funny\, Katie dives deep into questions of land and love\, family and body image\, grief and joy. “In unsettled times\,” says Peter Mulvey\, “Katie Dahl brings us a grounded spirit.”

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).

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: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.

DESCRIPTION:Vanishing theorems are foundational tools in the Log Minimal Model Program\, with the Kawamata-Viehweg Vanishing Theorem being one of the most important. However\, these fail in positive characteristics. Fano varieties and their log generalizations are expected to behave better in this setting. In this talk\, we prove the Kawamata--Viehweg vanishing theorem for surfaces of del Pezzo type over imperfect fields of characteristic p>5 and discuss consequences to threefold singularities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Automorphic Representations and Optimal Quantum Logic Gates
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Any construction of a quantum computer would require finding good sets of quantum logic gates: finite sets of 2^n-by-2^n unitary matrices that efficiently and computably approximate arbitrary unitary matrices through short products. We explain a connection between constructing these gate sets and automorphic representations (extending ideas from the Lubotzky-Phillips-Sarnak construction of expander graphs). Using this\, we explain how to input analytic bounds proven using the endoscopic classification to produce the first provable constructions of optimal \"golden\" gate sets for more than one qubit.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Liberation Statistics: Making Data for Alternative Worlds in India and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the role of statistical practices in decolonizing the world. It follows the work of Pandurang Sukhatme at the Indian Council of Agricultural Research and at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and Amílcar Cabral as surveyor for the Portuguese colonial government and guerrilla leader in Guinea Bissau. Their engagement with statistics\, namely with sampling and randomization\, enables the historical weaving of projects of world governance at the UN\, Indian independence\, and West African liberation movements. In this connected history of decolonization\, statistical methods are central to denounce the injustices of the colonial order\, but also to unveil forms of agency from below for worldmaking after empire.\n\nTiago Saraiva is Professor of History at Drexel University\, author of Fascist Pigs: Technoscientific Organisms and the History of Fascism (MIT Press\, 2016)\, which was awarded the Pfizer Prize for best scholarly book by the History of Science Society in 2017\, and co-author of Moving Crops and the Scales of History (Yale University Press\, 2023)\, also awarded best book in 2024 by the Society for the History of Technology and the World History Association. He is an historian of science and technology interested in the connections between science\, technology\, crops\, and politics at the global scale. After revisiting the history of European fascism through stories of technoscientific organisms such as wheat\, pigs\, and sheep\, he has recently completed a transnational study on the history of cloning oranges and cultivating whiteness in California\, South Africa\, Algeria\, Palestine\, and Brazil. His new project explores the connected histories of statistical methods and liberation movements in the global south\, from India to West Africa\, from Brazil to the South of the US. Saraiva is now finishing coediting the three volumes of the Cambridge History of Technology to be published in 2026/2027.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:On Revival: Hebrew Literature between Life and Death with Roni Henig
DESCRIPTION:Roni Henig's recent book\, On Revival: Hebrew Literature between Life and Death (UPenn Press\, 2024)\, is a critique of one of the most important tenets of Zionist thinking: “Hebrew revival\,” or the idea that Hebrew—a largely unspoken language before the twentieth century—was revitalized as part of a broader national “revival” which ultimately led to the establishment of the Israeli nation-state. This story of language revival has been commemorated in Israeli popular memory and in Jewish historiography as a triumphant transformation narrative that marks the success of the Zionist revolution. But a closer look at the work of early twentieth-century Hebrew writers reveals different sentiments. The book explores the loaded\, figurative discourse of revival in modern Hebrew literature. Rather than embracing “revival” as a neutral\, descriptive term\, Henig takes a critical approach\, employing close readings of canonical texts to analyze the primary tropes used to articulate this aesthetic and political project of “reviving” Hebrew. The event is a workshop-style discussion of the book with the author. A brief introduction will be circulated ahead of the event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Transition Asymptotics for the Real Solutions of the sinh-Gordon Painlev\'e III
DESCRIPTION:We consider solutions of the sinh-Gordon Painlev\'e III equation\n\[\nu_{xx} + \frac{1}{x} u_x = \sinh u\n\]\nthat are real on \((0\, \infty)\). They are parametrized by the monodromy parameter \( p \in \overline{\mathbb C} \)\, \( |p|>1 \)\, and an additional real parameter \( s^{\mathbb R} \) when \( p=\infty \). We describe the transition between singular solutions (\( |p|<\infty \)) and smooth solutions (\( p=\infty \))\, as \( x \to +\infty \) and \( p \to \infty \) given that \( 2\Im(p)=-s^\R\).\nThis presentation is based on the ongoing work with Maxim Yattselev.

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: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: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:“Wealth Taxation and Portfolio Allocation”
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host Ségal Le Guern Herry\, Assistant Professor at the Aix-Marseille School of Economics and senior economist at the EU Tax Observatory. He is a visiting researcher at UC Berkeley during Spring 2026. Ségal will present\, “Wealth Taxation and Portfolio Allocation.”\n\nAbstract: “Should governments tax different assets at different rates? The answer depends crucially on the cross-elasticities between asset classes\, of which few estimates exist. This paper estimates the cross-elasticity between the two main components of household wealth: financial and real estate assets. In 2017\, France transformed its wealth tax into a real estate tax\, thereby eliminating wealth taxation on financial assets. Using comprehensive linked administrative income and wealth data from France\, I study the effect of this unique reform by contrasting the responses of French residents to non-residents\, who remained subject to the wealth tax but were unaffected by the reform. Five years after the reform\, French taxpayers have reallocated on average 5% of their real estate holdings toward financial assets. These responses translate into a quite modest cross-elasticity: a one percentage point differential increase in the tax rate on real estate causes taxpayers to reallocate 4.7% of their real estate assets to financial assets. This reallocation is driven by reduced ownership in investment properties rather than owner-occupied housing\, and coincides with a surge in dividend incomes. Overall\, I estimate that behavioral responses account for approximately 7% of the revenue loss due the reform\, indicating that the mechanical impact dominates. These findings have two key implications. First\, from an equity perspective\, exempting financial assets from wealth taxation primarily served as a tax cut for wealthy households in France. Second\, the efficiency cost of taxing real estate more heavily than other assets appears limited.”

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A Theory of Endogenous Degrowth and Environmental Sustainability (with Philippe Aghion\,  Timo Boppart\,  Michael Peters\, and Matthew Schwartzman)
DESCRIPTION:We develop and quantify a novel growth theory in which economic activity endogenously shifts from material production to quality improvements. Consumers derive utility from goods with differing environmental footprints: necessities are material-intensive and polluting\, while luxuries are more service-based and emit less. Innovation can be directed toward either material productivity or product~quality. Because demand for luxuries is more sensitive to quality\, the economy gradually becomes “weightless”: growth is driven by quality improvements\, services become the dominant employment sector\, and material production stabilizes at a finite level. This structural transformation enables rising living standards with declining environmental intensity\, providing an endogenous path to degrowth in material output without compromising economic progress. Policy can accelerate the transition\, but its burden is uneven\, falling more heavily on the poor than on the rich.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Speakers: Abbey Soule and Patricia Torres Pineda
DESCRIPTION:Speaker 1: Abbey Soule\, PhD Candidate\, Weber Lab\n\nTitle: Beyond Science Communication: Why Engaging with 'Non-Traditional' Audiences Makes Great Scientists\n\nDescription: Public engagement and outreach activities help scientists strengthen their communication skills while (ideally) improving public understanding of and trust in the research process. Science communication is considered an important part of professional development\, yet the opportunities for engaging in outreach activities often favor certain venues (e.g.\, museums) and audiences (e.g.\, K-12). As a result\, public reach is biased towards more mobile and/or affluent communities with easier access to engagement opportunities\, leaving many populations out of the conversation entirely. In my talk\, I will share my experiences participating in and organizing outreach efforts aimed at bringing underrepresented\, 'non-traditional' audiences into scientific conversations including scientist and audience testimonials as well as the logistical challenges of working in certain venues.\n----------\nSpeaker 2: Patricia Torres Pineda\, PhD candidate\nMuseo Nacional de Historia Natural \"Prof. Eugenio de Jesús Marcano\"\, Santo Domingo\, R.D\n\nTitle: The colonial legacies of natural history collections: specimens from the Caribbean as a case study\n\nDescription: It has been estimated that at least 1.1 billion zoological specimens are housed in natural history museums and collections around the world. These specimens comprise the foundation of a plethora of biological and environmental research\, including studies on wildlife biology\, ecology\, and conservation\, habitat restoration\, predictive investigations related to climate change and public health\, as well as education and public engagement. In the last decades\, museum and collections professionals have started important conversations regarding the colonial legacies that have shaped and\, in many cases\, still inform the practices\, access\, and use (or lack thereof) of collections. Regrettably\, these debates are still not as prevalent in the field of natural history collections and museums. Despite the Caribbean being one of the top Biodiversity hotspots of the planet (geographic areas that concentrate a large number of unique species)\, this diversity is not being fairly represented in Caribbean-based museums and collections. Here\, I present preliminary results of an exploratory study on the geopolitical distribution patterns of zoological natural history specimens from the Caribbean in collections around the world\, where striking disparities in quantity and quality of collections housed locally\, in comparison with those in Global North institutions\, become evident. In order to address the causes and implications of these biases and open a dialogue that moves us towards more inclusive and fairer practices in zoological collecting and curating\, we must understand the extent and magnitude of the disparities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Elliot S. Valenstein Distinguished Lecture | Thinking and Doing
DESCRIPTION:The brain has the remarkable ability to self-generate meaningful and distributed activity patterns (“thoughts”). Thoughts make it possible to simulate possible futures and alternative pasts\, and to use those simulations to inform choices. Here we focus on two key features of thoughts. First\, thoughts can be controlled: subjects can typically decide what to think about and then generate related mental representations. Second\, thoughts are behaviorally accessible: subjects can act based on their representational content. The neural activity patterns that underlie thoughts are poorly understood\, but we do know that there are specific activity patterns in the brain that are consistent with mental simulations. These include non-local spatial representations in the hippocampus that are consistent with possible futures and alternative pasts. Whether these representations are controllable and accessible remains unclear. We therefore developed two tasks that where we delivered real-time feedback contingent on the decoded content of non-local hippocampal representations. These tasks allowed us to determine 1) whether animals can control the content of non-local hippocampal representations and 2) whether they can access that content to guide an upcoming choice. If you are interested in knowing what we found\, please come to the talk.\n\nAbout the speaker: Loren Frank is Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and a Professor in the Department of Physiology at the University of California\, San Francisco (UCSF).  He received his B.A. in Psychology and Cognitive studies from Carleton College\, his Ph.D. in Systems Neuroscience and Computation from M.I.T. and did post-doctoral research at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard University.  His laboratory uses a combination of techniques to study the neural bases of learning\, memory and decision-making. is work focuses on the hippocampus and related structures\, brain areas critical for both forming and retrieving memories for the events of daily life and for generating representations of possibilities that go beyond immediate experience. He also works in close collaboration with colleagues from multiple institutions to develop new technologies to understand how the brain works and how to fix it when it is not working properly. These technologies include flexible polymer electrodes that make it possible to record from large numbers of neurons for months at a time and real-time feedback systems that enable manipulations of specific patterns of brain activity. Dr. Frank has received numerous awards for his scientific discoveries and his mentoring\, including fellowships from the Sloan\, McKnight and Merck Foundations as well as the Society for Neuroscience Young Investigator Award\, the University of Indiana Gill Young Investigator Award\, the UCSF Faculty Mentoring Award\, and the College Mentors for Kids Inspire Award.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Commutative Algebra: Openness of the Splinter Locus in Positive Characteristic
DESCRIPTION:A splinter is a ring R for which all finite ring extensions R -> S split as a map of R-modules. While this is a characteristic free property\, it exhibits wildly different behavior in various characteristics. In this talk\, we prove that under mild hypotheses\, the locus of primes p in R with the local ring R_p a splinter is Zariski-open. In particular\, we define a splinter test ideal\, and show that this construction behaves well under localization to conclude that the vanishing set of this ideal is exactly the non-splinter locus.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bartell Lecture \"Chelator Design Strategies and Applications for Biology and Critical Minerals\"
DESCRIPTION:Metal ions are essential both in biological systems\, where they function as nutrients and therapeutic agents\, and in the global economy\, where they enable advanced technologies. Purposefully designed chelators bridge these domains by enhancing the biological performance of metal ions and by enabling the enrichment\, isolation\, and separation of technologically critical metals. This presentation highlights our group’s recent efforts in chelator design for these two areas. In the first part\, we survey how expanded macrocyclic chelators can be engineered for nuclear medicine. Our studies show that introducing controlled flexibility into these ligands allows them to adjust their binding conformations to accommodate metal ions of varying sizes\, increasing their versatility for radiometal-based applications. The second part focuses on applying this chelator class to the extraction and separation of rare earth elements\, critical minerals central to modern technologies. We demonstrate how rationally tailored chelators can selectively remove and enrich rare earths from complex matrices and enable efficient interelement separations. Together\, these studies illustrate how fundamental principles of coordination chemistry can be leveraged to meet distinct challenges in nuclear medicine and critical mineral processing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: Automorphic representations and optimal quantum logic gates
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will describe a surprising connection between the Langlands program and designing efficient architectures for quantum computing. Constructions of quantum computers require finding finite sets of 2^n-by-2^n unitary matrices that efficiently and computably approximate arbitrary unitary matrices through short products. Extending ideas first used in Lubotzky-Phillips-Sarnak's construction of expander graphs\, such an \"optimal covering\" property can be translated into a bound in the theory of automorphic representations. I will explain this translation and then broadly sketch how recent progress in automorphic theory and the Langlands program can be applied to prove the resulting bound in the cases most relevant to quantum computing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Museo Moderno: A Values-driven Model that Positions Art and Artists as Central to Human\, Economic\, and Democratic Development
DESCRIPTION:How does art lead the way in creating our possible futures? How do the human imagination and the agency and actions of art free the potential for wonder\, for hope\, optimism and joy\, to confront times of agony\, trauma and fear? In what ways do artists of all disciplines from around the world dare still to dream of different\, alternative futures for humanity\, to envision previously unimagined paths forward? How does art furnish humanity with the means to mourn\, mitigate\, overcome\, and bring solace and healing to the world’s deep antagonisms and conflicts?\n\nIn this lecture\, Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires Director Victoria Noorthoorn will describe the values-driven transformation of this vibrant museum of modern and contemporary art in Buenos Aires throughout her leadership over the past 12 years. Noorthoorn has persistently worked towards creating a new model for a public museum in Argentina – and in doing so\, she has created a new museum model – that positions art and artists as drivers of educational\, social\, economic\, and civic development.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jake Xerxes Fussell
DESCRIPTION:“…maybe the leading interpreter of American folk music right now.” –Ann Powers\, NPR\n\nReared in Georgia and now settled in North Carolina\, Jake Xerxes Fussell has established himself as a devoted listener and contemplative interpreter of a vast array of so-called folk songs\, lovingly sourced from a personal store of favorites. On his latest album\, When I’m Called—his first LP for Fat Possum\, and his first as a parent—Fussell returns to a well of music that holds lifelong sentimental meaning\, loosely contemplating the passage of time and the procession of life’s unexpected offerings.\n\nThe album was produced by James Elkington and mixed by Tucker Martine. In addition to Elkington\, it features the playing of Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station)\, Joe Westerlund (Bon Iver\, Califone)\, and others. Blake Mills contributes guitars on several tracks. Joan Shelley and Robin Holcomb provide backing vocals.\n\n“…Fussell is the rare contemporary to approach folk in its pure form\, shunning self-penned compositions about bummer relationships to concentrate on material handed down from bygone\, hardened times.” – The New Yorker\n\n“(Fussell) is one of the great magpies of American song\, collecting forgotten\, tarnished gems with a folklorist’s zeal… his renditions aren’t so much cover versions as composites…” – The Guardian

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Thriving in STEM | \"Art of the Heart\" Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS THE MISSING LINK IN TODAY'S MEDICAL CARE DELIVERY?\n\nMedical school training has historically relied on the biological sciences\, and their application\, for diagnosis and treatment\, with technology an adjunct to care. Although many major medical schools now incorporate “doctoring” into their curriculum\, traditional medical training lacked an emphasis on the psycho-social aspects of the doctor-patient relationship.\n\nJoin the “Art of the Heart: The Doctor-Patient Partnership” book discussion to explore the solution as author\, Jay H. Kleiman\, M.D.\, recounts the profound career moments that define the doctor-patient partnership\, illuminating the path toward preventing physician burnout. \n\nHOW DO I GET THE BOOK?\n\nBook copies are available on Amazon for $10\, in both paperback and Kindle versions (and free for students with Kindle Unlimited).  If you need financial assistance purchasing the book\, complete this GoogleForm (myumi.ch/z98zn) by Tuesday\, February 17 to have a copy provided for you. \n\nWHAT CAN I EXPECT AT THE BOOK DISCUSSION EVENT?\n\nA virtual Book Discussion will be held on Wednesday\, March 11 from 5 - 6 PM with the author\, Jay H. Kleiman\, M.D.\, and his wife\, Georgi.  This will provide you the opportunity to directly engage with the author and his spouse to learn from their lived experiences.  A set of discussion prompts and questions is available to view in advance\; however\, live questions from participants are highly encouraged.

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: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:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Nonalignment and Decolonial Imagination: Yugoslav Literary Encounters with the Global South
DESCRIPTION:Yugoslavia’s pivot away from the Eastern Bloc and toward decolonizing countries in the Global South\, which resulted in the founding of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in 1961\, shaped\, also\, its literary and intellectual spheres. NAM catalyzed increasing translations of non-European literatures\, lively literary exchanges with nonaligned countries\, and critical scholarship that explored the relationship between literature\, revolution\, and decolonization. Yugoslav writers and journalists—often former partisans—reported on various movements of liberation in Africa and Asia\, producing a range of “revolutionary travelogues.” Such travelogues aspired to undermine established Eurocentric frames of reference by denouncing colonial racism\, foregrounding historically marginalized narratives\, reflecting on the authors’ own positioning and prejudice\, and advancing decolonial historiography that staged newly independent nations through emancipated\, revolutionary subjects. Concurrently\, Yugoslav scholars\, in conversation with thinkers from the Global South\, made an early contribution to the development of global decolonial theoretical discourses\, while also adapting their conceptual tools to Yugoslavia’s position on the geopolitical semiperiphery. This talk will analyze this era’s intertwining of literary and theoretical production with the politics of national liberation and propose that nonalignment\, beyond its import for Yugoslav culture\, can figure as a mode of reading decoloniality across Cold War divides.\n   \n   Nataša Kovačević is professor of postcolonial literature at Eastern Michigan University. Her research concerns the literature and cinema of migration to the European Union\; global socialism\; and anticolonial internationalisms during the Cold War. This talk draws on her most recent book\, Nonaligned Imagination: Yugoslavia\, the Global South\, and Literary Solidarities Beyond the Cold War Blocs (Northwestern University Press\, 2025)\, which reconstructs the literary and cultural history of the Non-Aligned Movement. She is also the author of Narrating Post/Communism: Colonial Discourse and Europe’s Borderline Civilization (Routledge\, 2008) and Uncommon Alliances: Cultural Narratives of Migration in the New Europe (Edinburgh University Press\, 2018). Her essays have appeared in leading journals\, including Comparative Literature Studies\, Modern Fiction Studies\, Cultural Critique\, Postcolonial Studies\, and Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series - Rethinking Methods in the Global Attitudes Project: Explorations in Australia and Sweden
DESCRIPTION:MPSDS JPSM Seminar Series\nMPSDS M3 Series\n\nFebruary 18\, 2026\n12:00 - 1:00 pm EST\nIn person\, room 1070 Institute for Social Research\, and via Zoom. The Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes are the start of the presentation.\n\nRethinking Methods in the Global Attitudes Project: Explorations in Australia and Sweden\n\nIn addition to regularly surveying the American public\, Pew Research Center fields cross-national public opinion surveys in more than 20 countries annually as part of its Global Attitudes Project (GAP). The Center’s International Methods team focuses on designing\, implementing\, monitoring\, and improving these surveys throughout the year. In this talk\, we present two research projects from 2025 in Australia and Sweden.\n\nMany surveys around the world\, across modes and methods\, have tended to show a slight left-leaning political bias. Weighting to past vote or party affiliation is a common solution\, but these corrections alone may create excessive variance inflation. We faced this problem in our surveys fielded on the mixed-mode Life in Australia probability panel\, administered by the Australian National University’s Social Research Centre. To combat this bias\, we tested a “voting-adjusted” sampling approach recommended by our partners at SRC\, in parallel with our previous standard stratified sampling design. Taking advantage of panel information and recent Australian elections\, the new method incorporates self-reported 2022 vote into individual weights which are used as a measure of size for PPS sampling. After reviewing the technical details behind this approach\, we’ll discuss our findings on its impact on variance and substantive estimates compared to the standard design.\n\nPush-to-web (P2W) designs are gaining traction in Europe as an alternative to costly – and methodologically challenged – interviewer-administered approaches. For instance\, the European Social Survey announced that by 2027 online and paper self-administered surveys will be their primary means of data collection replacing their traditional face-to-face approach. To better understand this mode and its potential for future waves of GAP\, we recently piloted an ABS-style\, sequential P2W survey in Sweden to compare with our traditional dual-frame phone design (DFRDD). Our presentation will compare P2W and DFRDD sample outcomes in terms of data quality (such as response rates\, response differentiation\, survey engagement\, and open-ended answer quality)\, representativeness (versus demographic parameters for gender\, education\, age and geography) and attitudinal estimates (considering the viability of long-term data trends if mode transitioned in Sweden). The P2W survey included an unconditional incentive experiment as well as a paper questionnaire mailing\, allowing us to present findings regarding the value of these design elements. This section of the talk concludes with key takeaways and recommendations for future mode-transition trials. \n\nSofi Sinozich is a research methodologist in international methods at Pew Research Center. She advises on complex sample design\, survey implementation\, and data quality assessment for international projects across the Center. Prior to joining the Center\, she was a senior research analyst at Langer Research Associates\, where she managed and contributed to a wide variety of survey projects\, including serving as lead analyst on the ABC News/Washington Post poll. She holds a master's degree in survey methodology from JPSM and is a member of the WAPOR Professional Standards committee.\n\nPatrick Moynihan is the associate director of international methods at Pew Research Center. Prior to joining the Center\, Patrick was the survey methodologist in the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Opinion Research (INR/OPN)\, assistant director of the Program on Survey Research at Harvard University\, and senior polling analyst at ABC News. He is a past president of the New England Chapter of the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR)\, served on multiple national AAPOR committees\, and is currently a member of the Committee on Professional Standards for the World Association for Public Opinion Research. Moynihan received his doctorate in sociology from SUNY Stony Brook.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Charlyn Partridge
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: Hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae\, HWA) is a small invasive insect threatening hemlock forests throughout the eastern United States and Canada. Eastern hemlocks are a foundation tree species found in sensitive coastal dunes and riparian zones. Once infested\, HWA feeds on the nutrients of hemlocks\, often resulting in hemlock mortality within 4 – 10 years. This can lead to landscape-level changes in biodiversity as infestations progress. Management efforts in Michigan are underway to control this invasive pest with a key focus on early detection. Current monitoring methods involve visual assessment of hemlocks for the presence of HWA ovisacs. However\, this is a demanding task considering there are an estimated 170 million hemlock trees in Michigan. Our lab is using a combination of airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) methods and population genomics analysis to help detect new infestations and gain insight into the historical spread of HWA throughout eastern North America. The information we gain from our work\, will hopefully contribute to faster detections and more accurate range expansion models as HWA continues to spread throughout the Great Lakes region.\n\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Charlyn Partridge is an Associate Professor at Annis Water Resources Institute – Grand Valley State University. Her research uses genetic and genomic tools to aid in conservation and management efforts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Bulk Locality from Infrared Entanglement
DESCRIPTION:For quantum field theories coupled to any massless fields\, one generally encounters “IR divergences” which arise due to the fact that the asymptotic description of the state contains an infinite number of soft radiative quanta. These quanta have recently gained interest due to their connections to unitarity\, asymptotic symmetries and the memory effect. However\, for the description of any bulk experiment\, these quanta are generally viewed as a nuisance with little physical relevance for the predictions of any bulk\, finite time observable.\n\nIn this talk\, I will explain that this is not the case. In fact\, the situation is quite the opposite: all local physical observables and phenomena depend on the entanglement and absorption of soft radiation. I will explain (1) how this phenomenon arises and (2) why it was missed in the literature and (3) why this result agrees with the predictions of collider experiments. I will primarily focus on the case of QED with and will comment on the analogous issues in QED with massless electrons\, Yang-Mills theories and Quantum Gravity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Overcoming Financial Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed for students who are looking to learn more about how being a first-generation wealth builder may impact their lives. Through exploring how our relationship with money develops\, financial anxiety\, and our money mindsets\, we will discuss how this impacts our financial behaviors. Personal finance has often left the nuances of emotion and culture out of the conversation when highlighting the necessary money moves to build wealth. This conversation seeks to highlight where our beliefs about money originate\, how building and creating wealth impact emotional well-being\, and strategies to cope with the shift while remaining true to one's values.\n\nObjectives: Define and identify money narratives and foundational beliefs about money\; label feelings around money and the potential change of socioeconomic status or class\; learn how to navigate the emotions brought up due to being a first-generation wealth builder.\n\nSpeaker Bio: Aja Evans is a licensed mental health counselor\, speaker\, and author specializing in financial therapy. With over a decade of experience\, Aja is determined to help more people break the taboo of keeping money and emotions secret. In addition to her practice\, Aja serves on the board of the Financial Therapy Association\, consults to fintech companies\, and released her book Feel Good Finance.\n\nAja has been featured in a variety of major news outlets including the New York Times\, Business Insider\, NerdWallet\, and CNBC. Aja is on a mission to get more people engaged in living their best lives while attuning to their thoughts\, feelings\, and behaviors around money. Outside of work\, you can find Aja chasing after her two young children as they hunt down the next delicious place to eat.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: How to describe general torsion classes?
DESCRIPTION:Last time we saw that we can describe torsion classes of quiver representations of Type A_n by bracket vectors. In this talk\, I will give some more general approaches to describing torsion classes\, First I will illustrate them through the familiar Type A_n example. I will also demonstrate how to use them to describe the torsion classes of the representations of the Kronecker quiver. In the second part of the talk\, I will use these new descriptions to construct a dual notion of torsion classes\, the torsion free classes\, and prove that torsion classes form a complete lattice.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Number Theory: An introduction to Borcherds lifts
DESCRIPTION:Let L be an even lattice of signature (2\, n). The Borcherds lifting takes a weakly holomorphic modular form f for Mp(2\, ℤ) of weight 1-n/2 valued in ℂ[L'/L] and produces a meromorphic modular form Ψ(f) for O⁺(L). The divisors of Borcherds lifts are supported on Heegner divisors. In fact\, the weight and the divisor of Ψ(f) are completely determined by the constant term and the principal part of the Fourier expansion of f respectively. Furthermore\, Borcherds lifts admit infinite product expansions known as Borcherds products. In this talk\, we will use the regularized theta lifts of weak Maass forms to sketch the construction of Borcherds lifts.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | The Final Fermilab muon g-2 result
DESCRIPTION:The muon magnetic moment anomaly arises due to quantum interactions of muons and the vacuum\, mostly due to quantum electrodynamics (QED)\, but with contributions from ALL Standard Model interactions as well as Beyond-Standard-Model physics. The Fermilab muon g-2 experiment employed a 50m circumference 1.45 T magnetic storage ring and measured the precession of muons with respect to the momentum of the cyclotron orbits for six years. The precision of the final Fermilab result\, 127 ppb\, combines statistically limited measurement of the muon precession and measurement of the magnetic field averaged over the muon storage volume employing novel magnetometry and analysis techniques developed at UM. The Standard Model calculation\, based on known physics\,  is confounded by the strong interaction and has incorporated new approaches based on Lattice Gauge Theory. Experiment and theory are currently consistent\, though the theory uncertainty has gotten worse while the experimental uncertainty has improved. In this talk I will tell the story of this precision measurement.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Extreme Matters\, Pressure to Explore New Worlds\, Exotic Solids\, and Star Power
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nA science revolution is underway with the discovery of thousands of planets outside of our solar system\, the creation of revolutionary materials\, and the potential for harnessing fusion energy. Unlocking these discoveries hinges on our ability to understand and manipulate matter to and beyond atomic pressures\, conditions that alter the nature of atoms themselves. At such conditions our intuition for matter begins to breakdown\, with hydrogen becoming a metal and perhaps a superconducting super-fluid\, water becoming superionic where protons flow through a compact oxygen crystal\, and unbound electrons getting squeezed interior to core orbitals of an atom. I will show how laboratory laser experiments are opening this science frontier at light speed\, revealing how we might make transparent aluminum-like in Star Trek\, a new exploration into the nature and implications of planets-potential platforms for life throughout the universe\, and controlled thermonuclear fusion. You might take a look at one of our videos as a primer to our discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqabT21d8VM\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nGilbert ‘Rip’ Collins is Tracy Hyde Harris Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Physics and Astronomy\, and Associate Director for the Laboratory for Laser Energetics at the University of Rochester. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Ohio State University. From 1989 to 2016\, he held positions at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory\, including Group Leader\, Physics Associate Division Leader\, Director for the Center for High Energy Density Physics\, and Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff. Rip works with a world-class team of scientists exploring the nature and implications of matter at conditions where external forces overwhelm the quantum forces of the atom and the microphysics leading to thermonuclear fusion. He is the Director of the NSF Physics Frontier Center for Matter at Atomic Pressures. He holds visiting Professorships at Oxford University and the University of Edinburgh. He is a recipient of the Bridgman Award\, APS Fellow\, AAAS Fellow\, APS Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics\, DOE Weapons Recognition of Excellence Award\, NNSA Award for Excellence for Stockpile Stewardship Program\, and NNSA Science and Technology Award.\n\nThis seminar is free and open to the public.

DESCRIPTION:Given subvarieties X\, Y of a complex algebraic variety S of complementary dimension\, must they intersect?\n\nFor projective space this follows from the classical Bézout theorem\, and an analogue for simple abelian varieties was established by Barth.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Reform as Process: Implementing Change in Public Bureaucracies\" Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Martin J. Williams’s Reform as Process\, an in-depth study of civil service reform across six African countries. Williams will be joined by discussants Donald Moynihan (Ford School) and Omolade Adunbi (Anthropology and African and African American Studies). Elizabeth Popp Berman (Organizational Studies) will moderate.\n\n\nMore about the book:\nBuilding an effective civil service is crucial for public service delivery and good governance\, but reforming bureaucratic institutions is notoriously difficult. This book takes a fresh perspective on this challenge by documenting and analyzing the implementation of more than one hundred reforms initiated by six African countries over the last thirty years.\n\nMartin J. Williams shows that these efforts largely fell short of their goals because they typically approached organizational change as a matter of changing formal structures and processes through one-off projects. Some did yield positive changes\, however\, when they were able to create opportunities for civil servants to discuss performance and how to improve it. Drawing on this evidence\, Williams develops a new theory of how systemic reforms can lead to meaningful change—not by trying to force it through top-down interventions but by catalyzing an ongoing and decentralized process of continuous improvement.\n\nReform as Process makes theoretical and empirical contributions to research on organizational performance\, civil service reform\, and public service delivery\, and it shares practical insights and strategies to help reformers around the world achieve meaningful change in their organizations.\n\nAbout the Author:\nMartin J. Williams is associate professor of organizational studies and (by courtesy) political science and public policy at the University of Michigan\, as well as associate faculty at the Blavatnik School of Government\, University of Oxford.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CCMB/DCMB Weekly Seminar Series featuring Jack Van Horn\, PhD (Professor of Psychology and Data Science University of Virginia)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nHow does information move through the brain\, and could the physical shape of a system be just as important as its connections? In this lecture\, I will explore a new way of thinking about neural networks—where signals travel as waves across curved surfaces\, and learning happens by slowly reshaping the space through which those waves flow. Using networks inspired by cells arranged as 3D “digital neural organoids”\, I will illustrate how activity spreads across layered\, spherical networks\, forming wavefronts\, spirals\, and rhythmic patterns. These waves are not just visual curiosities: their timing\, direction\, and stability determine how well information reaches key regions of the system. By modulating the positions of individual nodes\, the network trains itself\, focusing signals inward\, synchronizing their arrival\, and reducing noise—much like adjusting the shape of a lens to bring an image into view. The lecture will include animated visualizations of nested organoid surfaces changing over time\, directing signals toward a central core\, and sometimes swirling into persistent spatial patterns that can store information. No particularly advanced mathematics is required. Instead\, I hope to build intuition around familiar ideas—waves\, flow\, and geometry—to show how learning and computation might emerge from space itself.  This fresh perspective opens new ways to think about brain development\, artificial intelligence\, and the future of biologically inspired computing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability/Analysis Circle: Functional calculus calculus
DESCRIPTION:If A is an n x n matrix\, you might have seen the matrix e^A in a linear algebra or differential equations class. You might not\, however\, have seen a matrix like |A|^e. What does this even mean? One excellent answer involves a construction known as functional calculus\, which appears in numerous areas of mathematics and physics and enables the applications of scalar functions to matrices. In this talk\, I plan to tell you a little bit about functional calculus and then to explore the \"calculus of functional calculus\,\" i.e.\, how the matrix f(A) depends on A when f is a scalar function. Time permitting\, I'll say a few words about the \"infinite-dimensional case\" in which A is an operator on a Hilbert space. I shall assume the audience is familiar with linear algebra\, multivariable (differential) calculus\, and a bit of real analysis.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Quasi-steady modeling predicts the dynamics of free-falling and flapping plates
DESCRIPTION:The flight of a thin wing or plate is an archetypal problem in flow-structure interactions at intermediate Reynolds numbers. Free-falling plates display an impressive variety of steady and unsteady motions that are familiar from fluttering leaves\, tumbling seeds and gliding paper planes\, while flapping wings or foils are emblematic of bird flight and fish swimming. This talk will show that the key behaviors of both passive and flapping flight may be captured by a quasi-steady nonlinear aerodynamic model that predicts forces from plate kinematics without needing to solve for the flows. Regarding passive flight\, we show that this nonlinear model successfully reproduces previously documented unsteady states such as fluttering and tumbling while also predicting new types of motions\, and a linear analysis accurately accounts for the stability of steady states such as gliding and diving. Regarding flapping flight\, simulations reproduce the well-known transition for increasing Reynolds number from a stationary state to a propulsive state\, where the latter is characterized by a Strouhal number that is conserved across broad ranges of parameters. These findings extend the phenomena of unsteady locomotion that can be explained by quasi-steady modeling\, and they broaden the conditions and parameter ranges over which such models are applicable.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Calls from Home Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Carceral State Project invites you to a free public screening of Calls from Home\, an award-winning short documentary film about a longstanding radio program that broadcasts messages of love through prison walls\, to reach people incarcerated far from home. The film follows the weekly broadcast through prison walls\, portraying the many forms of distance that rural prison building creates—and the ceaseless work to end this racist system of mass incarceration and family separation.\n\nThe screening will be followed by a discussion with the film’s director\, Sylvia Ryerson (Assistant Professor in American Culture and Postdoctoral Scholar in the Michigan Society of Fellows)\, Ken Nixon (Safe & Just Michigan)\, and Chuck Warpehoski (Michigan Collaborative to End Mass Incarceration) on current efforts to address the realities of mass incarceration across Michigan.\n\nThis discussion comes at a pivotal moment: In 2025\, the Michigan Department of Corrections accepted bids for a new statewide contract deciding how thousands communicate with their families—through phone calls\, messages\, tablets\, and video visits. Hear firsthand about local advocacy for more just\, transparent\, and affordable prison communications\, and why these systems must serve incarcerated people and their families.\n\nThe event is co-sponsored by the Carceral State Project\, the University of Michigan Department of American Culture and the Michigan Society of Fellows with support from MI-CEMI and Safe & Just Michigan.\n\nTickets can be reserved in advance through the State Theater events page.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:QMSS's Build-A-(Data)-Website Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join the Quantitative Methods in the Social Science (QMSS) Program for our Build-A-(Data)-Website Workshop focused on building your own (data) projects portfolio website as a way to stand out as a stronger candidate to potential employers and align your abilities with the roles you are interested in. This event will take place on Wednesday\, February 18th from 6-8pm in Weiser 110.\n\nIn the first part of the workshop\, students will learn what a project portfolio website is\, how it can be used\, and things to keep in mind when starting from scratch. Then\, content will transition to specific features we suggest including on your own website and a walk-through of some real portfolio websites from QMSS students as examples. You will learn about recommended platforms for building your website - mostly for free - without needing to know how to code (it's easier than you think!). You will also get in-depth coverage of the type of content you could include with examples of what this might look like for students in different majors or with different career interests. Of course\, we will also include specific ways that QMSS-specific skills can be marketed on your website\, but students will also learn how to incorporate work and skills from other experiences outside of QMSS courses that you can consider including to be beneficial for everyone.\n\nFollowing the workshop\, participants will have an opportunity to share their websites with QMSS and receive written feedback from the presenter and/or QMSS Peer Mentors as well as make one-on-one appointments with the presenter or QMSS Peer Mentors to discuss further.\n\nPreparing for the workshop:\n\nStudents should start brainstorming a list of the various data-related projects and assignments they've completed for consideration on the website. These may include:\n- Any data analysis or visualizations you may have created as a way to develop or practice skills on your own or just because you found the topic interesting (e.g.\, if you keep track of any sports data or stats for certain players\, if you have played around with mapping or geospatial analysis for fun\, etc.)\n- Data analysis projects or reports you've completed as part of a class\, including QMSS courses (more details about whether/how this may be used for a website will be discussed)\nAny data projects you have been involved in for consulting clubs/organizations on campus or elsewhere (more details about whether/how this may be used for a website will be discussed)\n- Projects that\, even if not data-specific\, are highly relevant for your major or your field of interest (e.g.\, business reports\, marketing plans\, etc.)\n\nThe workshop will still be extremely valuable for those that attend without the above prepared in advance! This will just help you hit the ground running for building a website of your own at the end of the workshop.\n\nStudents are encouraged to bring the following to our workshop:\n- A laptop or tablet to take notes and navigate through example websites and website building platforms\n- A copy of your current resume to help you think through ways you can expand on what's included through a portfolio website\n\nOpen to all students!

SUMMARY:Presentation:Poetry at Literati
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the releases of \"Fire Series\,\" \"Interglacial\,\" and \"Antediluvian\" at Literati Bookstore with readings by the authors!\n\nLiterati event description: https://literatibookstore.com/event/2026-02-18/poetry-literati-kelly-hoffer-tracy-zeman-and-kameryn-alexa-carter\n\nAbout \"Fire Series\": Fire becomes metaphorically layered—as knowledge\, as desire\, as anger. The book entertains the many strands of this fiery lineage as it undertakes a poetic investigation into grief and sex\, loneliness and restlessness within intimacy\, and language’s ability to make\, unmake\, and remake things. Hoffer engages in questions of gender\, anger\, and nationality—how women are made subject to expectations of care and fidelity. How Americans are called into conflicts that defy sense\, that defy humanist values. \n\nAbout \"Interglacial\": As humanity reshapes geological time in the present\, our origins are still legible in the glaciated landscapes of the Great Lakes. In lyric language spliced with borrowed text and single-sharp moments\, \"Interglacial\" connects a changing region to our deep-past and near-future. Of bird\, rock\, and lake\, this travelogue catalogs species and places both extinct and extant.\n\nAbout \"Antediluvian\": \"Antediluvian\" engages with themes of the ecstatic\, desire\, mental illness\, and spirituality. Written in part during the COVID-19 pandemic\, the book’s speaker calls on an intertextual constellation of artists as they attempt to wade through agoraphobia\, parse out their relationship with God\, and navigate falling in love. Overall\, the landscape of the collection is a deep dive into the speaker’s psyche\, and what it means to push past the confines of one’s oppressive interior.

SUMMARY:Performance:Solas
DESCRIPTION:“the finest Celtic ensemble this country has ever produced” –The Boston Globe\n\nSolas is lighting up stages across the globe as they celebrate three decades of pushing boundaries and honoring traditions in Irish music. Hailed by The Wall Street Journal as “an Irish traditional band bearing all the marks of greatness\,” Solas continues to captivate audiences with their spellbinding musicianship and genre-defying creativity.\n\nFormed in New York City in 1995\, Solas quickly rose to prominence as a revolutionary force in Irish-American music. Now\, with twelve critically acclaimed albums and a reputation for dynamic\, emotionally charged live performances\, Solas has set new standards for musicianship\, repertoire\, and intensity.\n\nWhile Solas has seen various lineup changes over the years\, the spirit of innovation and reverence for Irish tradition has remained constant. Through every chapter\, founding members Séamus Egan and Winifred Horan have steered the band with passion and vision. In 2025\, they are joined by original accordionist John Williams and welcome two celebrated contemporary artists to the stage: renowned Irish singer and flutist Nuala Kennedy and guitarist Alan Murray.\n\nThis powerhouse ensemble brings the magic of Solas to life in a performance that promises to be both a homecoming and a new beginning. Audiences can expect an unforgettable musical journey filled with driving rhythms\, soaring melodies\, and heartfelt vocals that pay tribute to Irish roots while embracing new creative frontiers.\n\nSolas’ music has always existed at the intersection of tradition and transformation. Whether interpreting a centuries-old ballad or unveiling an original composition\, the band approaches each piece with curiosity\, skill\, and deep emotional resonance. Their ability to evolve without losing their essence has made them a cornerstone of the Celtic music scene and an inspiration to countless artists.

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: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: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:Conference / Symposium:Jack Pine Research Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Northern Michigan is part of jack pine country.\n\nJack pine barrens are imperiled\, fire-dependent ecosystems that occur in central and northern Michigan and host numerous rare plant and animal species\, including the Kirtland’s warbler.\n\nTo bring together the complex community of researchers\, forest managers and conservationists focused on jack pine ecosystems\, the University of Michigan Biological Station and Northern Pine Plains Partnership will co-host the inaugural Jack Pine Research Symposium.\n\nThe free\, two-day event is Thursday and Friday\, Feb. 19-20\, at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston.\n\nRegistration is required in advance through an online registration form.\n\n“From ornithology to fire ecology\, work related to jack pine forests spans a wide scope\,” said Adam Schubel\, resident biologist at the U-M Biological Station. “It can be tough for active practitioners from different specializations to connect on parallel efforts or emerging innovations happening just over the horizon. This symposium is an opportunity to bring everyone together in an inspiring setting to share knowledge\, identify cooperative approaches\, build community and chart the future of jack pine research and management in Michigan.”\n\nThe symposium will feature speakers and presentations on Thursday\, Feb. 19. Discussion and networking will be the focus on Friday\, Feb. 20.\n\nLodging is available at UMBS for a fee of $75 a night\, upon request.\n\nContact Adam Schubel at aschubel@umich.edu with questions about the symposium or to make a housing request.\n\nContemporary jack pine habitat management is the result of decades of research-driven adaptive management and collaboration.\n\nThis effort resulted in successfully emulating many features of a complex ecosystem reconstructed through alternative processes\, the recovery of the Kirtland’s Warbler from the brink of extinction\, and advanced prescribed fire science.\n\nNew ecological questions and management challenges are emerging\, in addition to those that have existed for decades.\n\nThe Jack Pine Research Symposium aims to discover new collaborative pathways forward and foster new connections.\n\n \n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world\, advance research and education\, and inspire action. We leverage over a century of research and transformative experiences to drive discoveries and solutions to benefit Michigan and beyond.\n\nOur vast campus engages all of the senses. Its remote\, natural setting nurtures deep thought and scientific discovery.\n\nFounded in 1909\, UMBS supports long-term research and education through immersive\, field-based courses and features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for data collection and analysis to help any field researcher be productive. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Dr. Olga Morozova:  Extended-Release Buprenorphine (BUP-XR) for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence in the Context of the War in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Opioid agonist therapy (OAT) represents a critical intervention for reducing illicit opioid use and opioid-related mortality. Extended-release formulations of buprenorphine (BUP-XR) have demonstrated potential for enhancing treatment adherence and expanding access to care\; however\, findings from real-world implementation studies remain inconsistent. To date\, most evaluations of BUP-XR have been conducted in high-income settings.\n\nSince February 2022\, the full-scale war with Russia has placed individuals receiving OAT in Ukraine at substantial risk of treatment disruption due to displacement\, instability\, and interruptions in medication supply chains. In response to these challenges\, Ukrainian public health authorities secured a donation of BUP-XR (BuvidalⓇ) from the manufacturer\, Camurus AB (Sweden)\, and launched a pilot implementation program.\n\nDr. Morozova currently serves as a Multiple Principal Investigator (MPI) on a NIDA-funded study examining the impact of war-related trauma on HIV care engagement among individuals with a history of substance use disorders in Ukraine. She earned her Ph.D. in Epidemiology from the Yale School of Public Health and completed postdoctoral training in Biostatistics at Yale University. She also holds an M.S. in Mathematical Modeling in the Social Sciences and a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from the National University of Kyiv\, Ukraine.\n\nThis talk will report findings from a prospective\, multicenter\, open-label trial of monthly BUP-XR injections conducted across ten regions of Ukraine between February 2023 and August 2024. The results will be discussed within the broader context of wartime disruptions and adaptations in the national OAT program in Ukraine.\nThis event is co-sponsored by The Center for Russian\, East European and Eurasian Studies (CREES).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Remembering the University of Michigan’s Wartime Japanese American Workers
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 1010\, Weiser Hall\, and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at https://myumi.ch/8qng5\n   \n   Between 1943 and 1945\, the University of Michigan hired hundreds of formerly-incarcerated Japanese Americans to work on campus – many as janitors\, cooks\, and hospital orderlies – even as it refused to enroll incarcerated Japanese American students. This lecture will delve into the long-forgotten history of how wartime labor shortages at U-M dovetailed with the federal government’s program to resettle incarcerated Japanese Americans away from the Pacific coast. The talk will also introduce the Yuzuru J. Takeshita Nikkei Workers Memorial Project\, a CJS initiative that has created a database and map of 401 formerly-incarcerated Japanese Americans who worked for the University of Michigan between 1943 and 1945.\n   \n   Brad Hammond is a doctoral student with the Van Hunnick History Department at the University of Southern California. His research focuses on the global and local politics of postwar Japanese corporate expansion into the United States and its intersections with U.S. urban history and Japanese American history. He is a contributing writer for the Tokyo-based Chiiki *zasshi tsukuda tsukishima* and serves on the board of the Little Tokyo Historical Society in Los Angeles\, California.\n\nThis lecture is cosponsored by the Bentley Historical Library. Learn more about the Bentley at https://bentley.umich.edu/\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Mukai Wang
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nMicrobiome differential abundance analysis remains a challenging problem despite multiple methods proposed in the literature. The excessive zeros and compositionality of metagenomics data are two main challenges for differential abundance analysis. We propose a novel method called “analysis of differential abundance by pooling Tobit models” (ADAPT) to overcome these two challenges. ADAPT uniquely treats zero counts as left-censored observations to facilitate computation and enhance interpretation. ADAPT also encompasses a theoretically justified way of selecting non-differentially abundant microbiome taxa as a reference for hypothesis testing. We generate synthetic data using independent simulation frameworks to show that ADAPT has more consistent false discovery rate control and higher statistical power than competitors. We use ADAPT to analyze 16S rRNA sequencing of saliva samples and shotgun metagenomics sequencing of plaque samples collected from infants in the COHRA2 study. The results provide novel insights into the association between the oral microbiome and early childhood dental caries.\n\nAbout the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Medical Science Building 1 (MS1)\, Room 4B700\, each Thursday at 12pm EST.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Advancing Ultrasound Therapy and Imaging: Towards High-Precision\, Real-time Solutions\n\nAbstract:\nAchieving high-precision diagnosis and therapy with ultrasound is challenging due to the heterogeneous nature of biological tissues. This seminar will present recent technological advances in ultrasound to improve both imaging performance and therapeutic capability.\n\nThe first part of the seminar will introduce transcranial histotripsy as a non-invasive brain therapy. Histotripsy is a non-thermal\, non-ionizing ultrasound therapy that mechanically fractionates target tissue through acoustic cavitation generated by short\, high-intensity ultrasound pulses. Transcranial histotripsy is particularly challenging because the intact human skull introduces severe attenuation and phase aberration. This seminar will discuss the specialized instrumentation for transcranial histotripsy\, methods to ensure precise targeting and real-time monitoring (including skull aberration correction and cavitation imaging)\, and feasibility and safety evaluation of transcranial histotripsy in preclinical studies.\n\nThe second half of the seminar will focus on ultrafast ultrasound imaging using large-aperture arrays. By combining ultrafast acquisition techniques with parallel computing\, this approach enables high-resolution volumetric imaging over a large field of view at video-rate frame rates. Two clinically relevant applications will be presented: panoramic spine imaging for diagnosis and interventional guidance\, and breast ultrasound tomography for early cancer screening. Finally\, we will discuss remaining technical challenges for clinical translation and highlight how advances in ultrafast imaging can be integrated with histotripsy to enable safer\, more precise therapies.\n\nBio:\nDr. Ning Lu is a Senior Ultrasound Engineer at United Imaging Healthcare North America in Bellevue\, Washington. She completed her postdoctoral training in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University under the mentorship of Prof. Katherine W. Ferrara\, where she developed high-resolution 3D ultrasound imaging techniques for diagnostic and interventional guidance. Dr. Lu received her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and Scientific Computing (joint degree) from the University of Michigan in 2023\, working with Prof. Zhen Xu on MR-guided transcranial histotripsy for non-invasive brain therapy. Her research interests include biomedical ultrasound\, medical instrumentation\, parallel computing\, and AI-driven imaging science. Her long-term career goal is to develop high-precision\, affordable\, personalized ultrasound solutions for therapy\, diagnosis\, and health monitoring.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899: Hanna Barton
DESCRIPTION:AI promises to enhance clinical decision-making\, improve efficiency\, and support better outcomes\, but realizing these benefits requires more than optimizing algorithmic performance. The impact of AI hinges on its alignment with the complexity of the clinical work it aims to support. This lecture synthesizes lessons learned from a series of applied AI projects spanning emergency care clinical decision support (CDS)\, patient placement\, and patient-facing communication and introduces an AI-CDS toolkit for designing and deploying human-centered AI. Together\, these examples underscore the need for thoughtful sociotechnical system design—and for building health systems’ capacities to evaluate\, adapt\, and implement AI in ways that remain accountable to both clinical realities and patient values.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - The Reactor Around the Corner: Understanding Advanced Nuclear Energy Futures
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSmall modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced nuclear technologies are gaining attention as key solutions to climate change\, energy insecurity\, and the growing energy needs of data centers. However\, the potential expansion of the global nuclear industry introduces—and in some cases reinforces—problems that technological solutions alone will not be able to fix. To help ensure that advanced nuclear energy serves the public interest rather than predominantly corporate and geopolitical actors\, we must have robust governance frameworks in place before the widespread implementation of SMRs. \n\nThis presentation will highlight the findings of the recent Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy (STPP) program’s Technology Assessment Project (TAP) report\, “The Reactor Around the Corner: Understanding Advanced Nuclear Energy Futures.” We will discuss our research approach\, in which we use the analogical case study (ACS) method to examine historical and contemporary technology parallels. By analyzing past technologies similar in form\, function\, or impact\, we can identify repeating social patterns and anticipate the social\, environmental\, ethical\, equity\, economic\, and geopolitical implications of emerging technologies.\n\nOur analysis reveals that without robust governance frameworks\, the widespread adoption of SMRs risks entrenching global disparities\, privileging private interests over public good\, overlooking local and Indigenous knowledge\, intensifying environmental injustices\, and failing to deliver on promises of local empowerment. We present policy recommendations for responsible governance of SMRs and the uranium supply chain to maximize benefits and minimize harms.\n\nThis interdisciplinary collaboration between the Ford School’s Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy (STPP) program and the College of Engineering’s Fastest Path to Zero Initiative (FPTZ) in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences demonstrates how policy and engineering expertise can be effectively integrated to address complex sociotechnical challenges.\n\nDenia Djokić Biography:\nDenia Djokić is an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Michigan’s Fastest Path to Zero Initiative in the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences. Her research focuses on the social\, political\, equity\, and environmental justice aspects of nuclear waste management\, advanced nuclear energy technology\, and energy systems more broadly. Dr. Djokić holds a PhD in nuclear engineering from the University of California\, Berkeley\, where she was a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management Graduate Student Fellow\, and a BS in physics from Carnegie Mellon University.\n\nMolly Kleinman Biography:\nMolly Kleinman serves as the Managing Director of the Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy program at the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy. In this role\, she has co-authored reports on equitable community partnerships\, generative AI\, facial recognition\, and vaccine hesitancy. Dr. Kleinman received her PhD in Higher Education Policy from the University of Michigan Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education\, her MS in Information from the University of Michigan School of Information\, and her BA in English from Bryn Mawr College.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"Listening to a raindrop: 20 years of water spectroscopy of planet-forming disks\"\n\nIt is only 20 years that we have access to observe water in planet-forming regions around other stars\, the places where exoplanets -including potentially habitable rocky planets- are forming. Two decades is just a blink of an eye\, and samples are still limited to a few hundred disks in nearby star-forming regions. I will provide an overview of all the data and the discoveries that have been obtained so far\, describe the revolution that JWST is currently providing\, and look forward to what is coming next. In particular\, I will discuss the current prospects to trace and locate regions and processes that are proposed as fundamental in planet formation\, the “snowline” and water delivery by icy pebble migration through the disk. If there’s time\, I will end the talk with a little surprise.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Phytochemical diversity regulates resiliency to herbivory and environmental stressors
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Plants exist in a complex chemical world\, producing diverse blends of metabolites that shape interactions with herbivores\, microbes\, and the broader ecological community. My research program integrates chemical ecology\, metabolomics\, and community ecology to understand how phytochemical diversity—both within and among plant species—governs ecological stability across natural and managed ecosystems. Using Phragmites australis in threatened U.S. wetlands and solanaceous crops such as tomato and potato in agricultural systems\, my work examines how phytochemical diversity and variation mediate competition\, defense\, and mutualisms across multiple trophic levels.\nAcross wetlands\, I investigate how native and invasive lineages of P. australis differ in chemical trait expression\, how environmental stress gradients shape metabolic plasticity\, and how these differences influence competitive outcomes and invasion dynamics. In agricultural systems\, I test how terpene complexity alters herbivore and natural enemy behavior\, revealing general principles of how insects interpret multicomponent odor cues. Together\, these approaches demonstrate how chemical diversity structures ecological networks\, affects biocontrol efficacy\, and shapes ecosystem resilience.\nBy linking mechanistic plant chemistry with ecological processes\, my research provides a trait-based framework for predicting species coexistence\, improving ecosystem management\, and designing sustainable\, chemically informed strategies for conservation and agriculture.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Geometry Seminar: Typical and Atypical Intersections: Geometry\, Dynamics\, and Applications
DESCRIPTION:Many geometric spaces carry natural collections of special submanifolds that encode their internal symmetries. Examples include abelian varieties and their sub-abelian varieties\, locally symmetric spaces with their totally geodesic subspaces\, period domains with their sub–period domains\, and strata of abelian differentials with their affine invariant submanifolds.\n\nIn recent years\, major progress has been made in understanding these structures through the framework of unlikely intersections and functional transcendence in foliated bundles. I will survey how this perspective can be applied to the study of non-arithmetic complex hyperbolic lattices and affine invariant submanifolds\, complementing existing dynamical approaches.

DESCRIPTION:View a selection of papyri and early printed books containing Homer’s great epic poems\, the Iliad and the Odyssey\, presented in both the original Greek and in translation. This event is part of the semester-long Homerathon\, a celebration of Homer’s Odyssey that benefits the Shelter Association of Washtenaw County and the members of our community it serves.\n\nIn the words of Brittany Prendergraft\, PhD candidate in Classical Studies and organizer of the Homerathon:\n\n \"Why have the homeless wanderings and struggles of Odysseus in Homer’s Odyssey captivated us for millennia yet we typically ignore those same experiences of members of our own communities? Everyday we walk past human beings also in need of a nostos\, or a return home\, who are fighting battles against their own oppressive forces\, but these are not stories we stop to hear. We want to use our love for the Odyssey to do good for our local community\, so we are creating a Homerathon for the Winter 2026 semester. It is our hope that we can take advantage of the hype surrounding the upcoming Christopher Nolan Odyssey film to do good for the community and for our field.\"\n\nJoin us (on the 6th floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library\, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Professors Meghan A. Duffy\, Richard D. Gonzalez\, and Patricia A. Reuter-Lorenz\, Collegiate Professorship Inaugural Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place both in person and virtually.\n\nProfessor Meghan A. Duffy\nSusan S. Kilham Collegiate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\n\nLecture Title: How Ecological Interactions Influence Infectious Diseases\n\nAbstract: Parasitism is the most common lifestyle on Earth. What determines whether an infection occurs and how sick the host gets? Many people might think about cellular processes when trying to answer this question\, but ecological interactions with other organisms can have profound impacts on infectious diseases. I will cover some of the ways in which other members of the food web – including predators\, plants\, and other parasites – can influence levels of infection. \n\nProfessor Richard D. Gonzalez\nAmos N. Tversky Collegiate Professor of Psychology and Statistics\n\nLecture Title: From Invariance to Insight: A Michigan Approach to Modeling Behavior\n\nAbstract: Behavioral science advances when we turn messy human behavior into a set of reliable observations\, and then ask what hidden structure must be present for those observations to occur. In this talk I describe a “Michigan approach” to behavioral modeling that I learned in graduate school through my academic lineage: a way to think so that assumptions become clear\, implications become testable\, and structure can be inferred rather than asserted. I will give two examples of this approach from my research on how people make decisions.  I will discuss why this way of thinking matters now. As our tools for estimation and representation become more powerful\, the limiting factor is conceptual clarity.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Rare Viewing: Mushi no Utaawase Emaki Scroll
DESCRIPTION:Stop by for a special viewing of the original scroll of \"Mushi no Utaawase Emaki\" 虫歌合絵巻. Scrolls like this are typically not exhibited in their entirety to protect their delicate materials\, making this a rare opportunity to experience a treasured gem from the Asia Library’s special collections.\n\n\"Mushi no Utaawase Emaki\" is a 56-foot-long Japanese picture scroll from the Edo period\, in the 1800's\, featuring 15 panels with text and watercolor paintings. It tells the story of a poetry contest in which fifteen pairs of insects compete by composing waka poems\, all judged by a frog. Each section contains two poems by different insects\, followed by the frog’s critique\, and is accompanied by corresponding artwork. The scroll’s exact creator and author are unknown\, though possible candidates include Hosokawa Yūsai or Kinoshita Katsutoshi. Traditionally\, viewers enjoy the scroll one section at a time.\n\nView a moving image of the scroll (https://myumi.ch/e32qQ).\n\nBrowse a collection of images from the scroll (https://myumi.ch/JPJGr).\n\nJoin us (on the 4th floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library\, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here\, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of the four Third Thursday Open Houses — Asia Library\, Clark Library\, International Studies\, and Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Annual Werner Grilk Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The celebrated American-German writer and artist\, Nora Krug\, will deliver this year’s Grilk Lecture in German Studies. Krug’s work combines illustration\, text\, photography and archival documents to shed light on such topics as Nazi perpetration\, authoritarianism\, and the war in Ukraine. \n\nNora Krug is an award-winning German-American writer and illustrator and Associate Professor in the Illustration Program at the Parsons School of Design in New York City. In her critically acclaimed graphic memoir \"Belonging: A German Reckons with History and Home\" Krug grapples with questions of guilt and responsibility as she probes her family’s role in World War II and the Holocaust. The book received many literary awards\, including the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize. Krug also adapted Timothy Snyder’s \"On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century\"\, translating urgent historical lessons about democratic fragility into the graphic format. Her recent graphic narrative\, \"Diaries of War: Two Visual Accounts from Ukraine and Russia\,\" centers individual experiences during a war that is still ongoing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Yun Emily Wang\, \"Listening for Otherwise Aliveness\"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Musicology hosts a talk by guest scholar Yun Emily Wang (Duke University)\; free and open to the public.\n\nWang describes her lecture:\n\n\"This talk is an ethnography of listening in what I will call the Chinese Canadian Care Home for the Aged\, a residential proto-medical institution in one of Toronto’s “ethnoburbs.” Established by and serving Chinese immigrants\, the Care Home relies on liberal celebrations of “culturally appropriate care” to promise successful aging\, and maintains funding by performing a Chineseness legible to the “cunning” of Canadian Multiculturalism (Povinelli 2002). Music shoulders the burden of “culture” across hundreds of residents\, staff\, and volunteers from across the diaspora: Karaoke Wednesdays and Opera Fridays punctuate the daily repetition of Cantopop broadcast\, between live performances of recognizably traditional Chinese genres. In the Care Home\, culturally appropriate *music* comes to signal life\, against the hums and beeps of breathing machines foretelling death. \n\nDrawing on fieldwork from 2014-2015\, I juxtapose a diversity of ways in which members of the Care Home community have aurally engaged with (or refused) what amounts to a biopolitical regime of sound-as-life. I trace how an alternative conception of life – one that far exceeds heart beats and is grounded\, always\, in vitality and enjoyment – emerged in the social cultivation and circulation of these praxis of otherwise listening. In so doing\, I hope to offer not answers but an open question about how the ear mediates possibilities for otherwise aliveness.\"

SUMMARY:Film Screening:February Movie Night - The Hate U Give
DESCRIPTION:The Hate U Give is a coming-of-age teen drama based on Angie Thomas’ novel of the same name. The film follows 16-year-old Starr Carter\, who lives in the predominantly black neighborhood of Garden Heights while attending a predominantly white private school called Williamson Prep. After being stopped by a white police officer for failing to signal a lane change\, Starr’s friend Khalil is unjustly shot and killed.\n\nEnraged by this loss and blatant display of racism\, Starr involves herself in protests and demonstrations\, speaking out publicly about police violence. As her life in Garden Heights infiltrates her life at Williamson Prep\, Starr is faced with the ignorance of her classmates while also navigating gang conflicts and the consequences of social advocacy. Representing the reality of police brutality and systemic and geographic racism\, The Hate U Give is an enlightening story that demonstrates the immeasurable impact of social injustice on communities of color.\n\nContent Warning: police brutality\, violence\n\nThis movie night is brought to you by the Ginsberg Student Advisory Board\, whose support of the Ginsberg Center’s work helps to create a culture of community and civic engagement.\n\nPlease note: The movies selected for screening do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Ginsberg Center or its affiliates\, and their inclusion does not constitute an endorsement of any particular viewpoint.

SUMMARY:Auditions:Penny Stamps Distinguished Speakers Series: vanessa german
DESCRIPTION:vanessa german is a leading *citizen* artist working in sculpture\, performance\, and communal ritual to cultivate spiritual models for transforming human experience. Establishing her own self-taught approach and distinctive artistic language\, german’s influential practice employs mineral crystals\, beads\, glass\, found objects\, and other sourced material to create expressive figurative sculptures that resound through the physical and metaphysical worlds. Her unique sculptural vocabulary transmits healing energy\, affirming the power of love as an infinite human technology by exploring the evolution of creative power and practice as citizen artist through activism\, revolutionary love\, and expanded consciousness.\n\ngerman’s sculptures are as much defined by their tangible elements as their transcendental properties\, a combination which the artist describes as the ingredients of her work. Since the early 2010s\, she has assembled ritualistic structures known as power figures using glass\, beads\, gemstones\, nails\, wood\, and other objects. Whether mineral crystals originating in the earth millennia ago\, or cobalt blue bottles resembling those used in bottle tree traditions for generations\, every object chosen by german channels frequencies that span its entire existence. Channeling precolonial and African diasporic traditions\, her figures allude to the Kongo nkisi nkondi\, each charged by the protective and restorative spirits that complement their physical materials. Guided by her own creativity\, imagination and curiosity\, german follows her intuition about the capacity for objects to tell stories\, creating sculptures that resonate deeply with those who encounter them.\nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From Seed to Sovereignty: Incubator Workshop for Student-Led Food & Social Change Projects
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever imagined a community pizza oven behind your residence hall? Or wanted to start your own line of tomato sauce with your grandma's recipe? The UM Sustainable Food Program (UMSFP) wants to help bring your idea to campus!\n\nWe are excited to be hosting a two-part incubator workshop series aimed at helping students create projects that further food sovereignty movements on campus! \n\nUMSFP nourishes a community of students working for a food sovereign campus. One way UMSFP does this is through the Student Food Empowerment Fund\, a grant for student organizations to purchase meaningful materials for events and develop long-term projects that support food sovereignty at U-M. \n\nStudent food sovereignty is the right of students to eat\, grow\, build community\, and experience joy with culturally relevant and sustainably and equitably produced food.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Many Manifestations of Home
DESCRIPTION:\"What would your dream house look like if money\, rules\, and physics didn't apply?\"\n\nJoin the Institute for Humanities for a creative workshop on where (and what) home really is. This is an interactive event that uses drawing\, writing\, and conversation to rethink what \"home\" really means beyond four walls and a mortgage. No background in art\, architecture\, or visual studies is required!\n\nGrounded in the humanities\, this workshop treats home not merely as a physical structure\, but as a personal\, cultural\, and political idea. Over the course of the event\, participants will move through two creative exercises that blend thinking\, self-reflection\, and critical interpretation. Participants will be asked to imagine impossible homes\, reinterpret familiar spaces\, and consider what \"home\" might look like for different people and communities. Together\, we will explore how identity\, memory\, history\, and power shape where (and whether) we feel at home.\n\nRegister to attend at https://myumi.ch/kP7e5.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sister Sadie
DESCRIPTION:“...one of the genre’s most exciting acts\, winning awards and breaking records across the Community.” –Nashville Scene\n\nThere was no master plan. No label strategy. Just a spontaneous jam at Nashville’s Station Inn between a few friends—seasoned players\, all women\, making a little noise. But something clicked. The room lit up\, the crowd roared\, and Sister Sadie was born.\n\nWhat started as an accidental band became a force. GRAMMY-nominated. IBMA-decorated. Opry-validated. But for all the accolades\, they were often reduced to one line: an all-female bluegrass band. True—but never the point. Sister Sadie has always been about the music. The fire. The truth.\n\nTheir new album\, All Will Be Well\, is that truth—loud\, fearless\, and free. You’ll hear echoes of bluegrass\, but what rises is something bigger: country with claws\, Americana with muscle\, gospel grit and raw storytelling.\n\nFrom the haunting “Prodigal Daughter” to the swagger of “Do What You Want” and the aching beauty of “If I Don’t Have You\,” these six women are not performing roles—they’re telling you who they are.\n\nThis is Sister Sadie\, evolved: bold\, bonded\, and braver than ever. They're not asking for space. They're taking it.\n\nAnd they’re just getting started.

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.

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: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:Author Conversation with Martha  S. Jones\, \"The Trouble of Color: An American Family Memoir”
DESCRIPTION:Prizewinning scholar and renowned author of Black history Martha S. Jones will join the Bookworm for a conversation on identity\, belonging\, and family\, drawing from her powerful new book\, The Trouble with Color: An American Family Memoir.\n\nMartha S. Jones grew up feeling her Black identity was obvious to all who saw her. But weeks into college\, a Black Studies classmate challenged Jones’s right to speak. Suspicious of the color of her skin and the texture of her hair\, he confronted her with a question that inspired a lifetime of introspection: “Who do you think you are?”\n\nJones delves into her family’s past for answers. In every generation since her great-great-great-grandmother survived enslavement to raise a free family\, color determined her ancestors’ lives. But the color line was shifting and jagged\, not fixed and straight. Some backed away from it\, others skipped along it\, and others still were cut deep by its sharp teeth.\n\nJourneying across centuries\, from rural Kentucky and small-town North Carolina to New York City and its suburbs\, The Trouble of Color is a lyrical\, deeply felt meditation on the most fundamental matters of identity\, belonging\, and family.\n\nSponsored by Cinda-Sue Davis.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Fred Feinberg\, Handleman Professor of Management\, Ross School of Business\, Professor of Statistics (by courtesy)\, Department of Statistics\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Expert adjudications are ubiquitous in high-stakes decision-making\, from grant reviews and academic hiring to elite evaluations in the arts and athletics. In these settings\, panels of judges score candidates across sequential stages\, and these scores are aggregated into a consensus ranking. Standard practice typically employs arithmetic averaging\, often supplemented with ad-hoc \"corrections\" for outliers or scale differences. However\, such approaches suffer from three core statistical problems: (1) Scale Heterogeneity\, where judges exhibit varying levels of discrimination and range-restriction\; (2) Information Loss\, where the longitudinal \"trajectory\" of a candidate is sidestepped in favor of stage-specific snapshots\; and (3) Nonignorable Missingness\, where conflict-of-interest (COI) recusals can introduce systematic bias.\n\nWe develop a hierarchical Bayesian framework that addresses these issues simultaneously. First\, we treat observed scores as generators of ordinal tie-blocks\, bypassing the \"cardinality fallacy\" and modeling the probability of observed ranks. Second\, we link sequential rounds via a fusion model with LKJ correlation priors\, allowing the model to borrow strength across the tournament while regularizing the latent covariance. Third\, we introduce a novel Informative Missing Data Likelihood (MDL) that treats COI recusals as a form of informative censoring. When judges abstain from rating their own students or collaborators\, standard approaches invoke a \"Missing Completely at Random\" (MCAR) assumption. Our MDL instead retains recused candidates in the \"risk set\" as censored alternatives\, correcting for the potential bias in win probabilities that occurs when high-caliber competitors are systematically excluded from a judge’s denominator. The model combines a Plackett–Luce formulation for tied data (implemented via Elementary Symmetric Polynomials) with judge-specific discrimination parameters that automatically downweight poorly-calibrated raters\, and the full posterior can be efficiently sampled via Hamiltonian Monte Carlo\, allowing full uncertainty quantification in downstream estimands.\n\nWe apply this framework to a high-stakes international competition — to be revealed during the talk! — featuring dozens of candidates\, multiple rounds\, and nearly 20 elite judges. Analysis suggests that the standard scoring method and the MDL-augmented model produce distinctly different results: they disagree on the winner and posterior advancement probabilities\, driven almost entirely by the differential treatment of collaborator-based recusals. Sensitivity analysis reveals that these outcomes are largely contingent on the assumed missing data mechanism. By making these untestable assumptions explicit\, we provide a more transparent and principled foundation for high-stakes adjudication in grant panels\, hiring committees\, and both athletic and artistic judging.

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:Smith Mini-Talk: François Tissot
DESCRIPTION:In 1965\, Caltech geochemist Clair Patterson published what was\, at the time\, a highly controversial finding: that leaded gasoline and other products like canned food solder\, paints\, and insecticide were exposing Americans to dangerously high levels of lead. His work helped galvanize the environmental movement\, ultimately leading to the Clean Air Act of 1970. Fifty years later\, Caltech researchers were once again at the center of investigations on environmental lead contamination when the Eaton fire devastated communities surrounding Caltech. A year on from the LA fires of 2025\, I will discuss Patterson's legacy and its connections to the research my group and others are pursuing to study the presence of lead and other toxic metals in the aftermath of the fires. I will also share the impact of his findings to date—and how they can help communities prepare as fires at the wildland-urban interface grow increasingly common.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2026 Jeffrey R. Parsons Lecture - Commoning Identity and Community Formation:  A Middle Holocene Case Study in Peru
DESCRIPTION:The formation of food-producing societies\, the organizational developments of institutionalized mechanisms for integrating them\, and how these foundational mechanisms eventually led to early complex communities still is marginally understood. The socio-economic relationships between a large-scale public monument at Huaca Prieta and outlying domestic sites on the north coast of Peru during the Middle Holocene are examined in terms of community formation and identity-marking. Between ~7000 and 5500 BP population expansion and community integration developed among fishing and farming households residing in different littoral habitats. The development of a cohesive community is viewed in terms of the creation of a communing identity\, defined by previously unconnected subgroups of weavers (cotton textiles and fish nets) and seafood specialists and by standardized\, inter-household and -subgroup ritual and mortuary acts at Huaca Prieta. This research challenges accepted interpretations such as early communities and public monuments formed by elites controlling food production\, exchange networks\, and corporate labor.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | Pain and Buddhism in Thailand: How does Bodily Experience affect Religious Worlds?
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: http://myumi.ch/A1MdA\n\nThai Buddhism is highly polymorphic\, with wide regional and historical variation\, with practices ranging from magical power to spirit possession to ethical codes to meditation. People draw from these elements to meet the demands of social\, historical\, political\, and other contexts. In this talk\, Stonington asks what assemblages of religious practice might\n   emerge in the face of domineering experiences of the body. Severe pain has been described by phenomenologists as a totalizing experience\, making it an ideal test case for this inquiry.\n   \n   Through interviews and participant observation with people coping with severe pain in Northern Thailand\, Stonington argues that a specific set of meditation practices that showed up as orthodox for how they should relate to pain actually made their pain worse\, sending them on investigative journeys to assemble novel sets of tools from other practices available to them. Through this isolated individual investigation\, his interlocutors surprisingly settled on techniques similar to one another\, a kind of emergent locally-heterodox rejection of received wisdom.\n   \n   Scott Stonington is a sociocultural anthropologist and internal medicine physician at the University of Michigan. His first book *The Spirit Ambulance*\, about dying in Thailand\, won awards for ethnographic writing and social theory. Current major projects include the politics and experience of pain in Thailand\; and the harms generated by time pressure\, emotion\, and improvisation in the clinical encounter in the U.S.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Life After Grad School Seminars  |  I’m no expert – embracing the dynamics of industrial research
DESCRIPTION:You are an expert. At this moment\, as a University of Michigan graduate student\, you may be in fact\, amongst the world’s experts in your field. It took hard work to get there – hours in the classroom\, more hours in the lab – physical or virtual. Here you are – at the top of your game. Then you get a job in industry\, and your first project – and it has very little to do with your expertise. It can be alarming and disarming. And it can be the start of an incredible ride and fulfilling career. In this edition of the Life After Graduate School seminar series\, Joel will review how adaptability and agility have brought him opportunities he never imagined\, and satisfaction he celebrates daily.\n\nBio: Joel McDonald is the Technical Director for Dow’s MobilityScience segment\, where he leads Dow’s efforts to deliver innovative solutions to automakers and their suppliers worldwide. He has held a variety of technical and strategy leadership positions at Dow over the 16 years of his career\, with a particular emphasis on battery materials\, electronics\, and coatings. Before Dow\, Joel was a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Labs in New Mexico\, where he explored fundamental reaction kinetics in energetic materials. Joel completed his PhD in Applied Physics at the University of Michigan in 2007 under the advisement of Prof. Steven Yalisove\, where his dissertation focused on the interaction between ultrashort pulsed lasers and materials. A native of Michigan\, Joel enjoys traveling adventures with his wife and two children\, fishing the local rivers and streams with his dad and bud

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar> A network mechanism for perceptual learning
DESCRIPTION:Organisms continually tune their perceptual systems to the features they encounter in their environment. We have studied how this experience reorganizes the synaptic connectivity of neurons in the olfactory (piriform) cortex of the mouse. We developed an approach to measure synaptic connectivity in vivo\, training a deep convolutional network to reliably identify monosynaptic connections from the spike-time cross-correlograms of 4.4 million single-unit pairs. This revealed that excitatory piriform neurons with similar odor tuning are more likely to be connected. We asked whether experience enhances this like-to-like connectivity\, but found that it was unaffected by odor exposure. Experience did\, however\, alter the logic of interneuron connectivity. Following repeated encounters with a set of odorants\, inhibitory neurons that responded differentially to these stimuli exhibited a high degree of both incoming and outgoing synaptic connections within the cortical network. This reorganization depended only on the odor tuning of the inhibitory interneuron and not on the tuning of its pre- or postsynaptic partners. A computational model of this reorganized connectivity predicts that it increases the dimensionality of the entire network’s responses to familiar stimuli\, thereby enhancing their discriminability. We confirmed that this network-level property is present in physiological measurements\, which showed increased dimensionality and separability of the evoked responses to familiar versus novel odorants. Thus a simple\, non-Hebbian reorganization of interneuron connectivity may selectively enhance an organism’s discrimination of the features of its environment.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Logic seminar: Infinitesimal and infinite numbers
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the history of human thought\, the nature of infinite and infinitesimal quantities has been investigated by the best minds\, and their actual use in calculus led to the modern development of mathematics. However\, in the first years of the last century\, the infinitesimals were banned from the world of mathematics\, as their use was considered contradictory. It was only in the 1960s\, when Robinson introduced nonstandard analysis\, that the use of infinitesimal and infinite numbers in calculus was finally placed on rigorous foundations.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present some historical observations on infinitesimal numbers\, and then introduce the fundamental ideas of nonstandard analysis. In the final part of the seminar\, I will also show some applications of nonstandard analysis in the discrete field of combinatorics\, presenting new results recently proven in arithmetic Ramsey theory\, including the following: In every finite coloring (partition) of the natural numbers\, one can always find a monochromatic pattern of the form a\, b\, a+b\, b/a.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Carol Vaness Voice Master Class
DESCRIPTION:Internationally renowned soprano Carol Vaness will work with voice students focusing on the operatic repertoire of Mozart. Free and open to the public.\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nCAROL VANESS launched her professional singing career at the New York City Opera\, where she appeared regularly from 1979 to 1983. Since then\, she has sung on the world's biggest stages and at premier music festivals\, collaborated with today's foremost conductors in operatic and symphonic repertoires\, appeared on numerous television broadcasts throughout North America and Europe\, and compiled a distinguished catalog of recordings. Her interpretations of Mozart's dramatic heroines\, including Fiordiligi in *Così fan tutte*\, Donna Anna and Donna Elvira in *Don Giovanni*\, Elettra in *Idomeneo*\, and Vitellia in *La Clemenza di Tito*\, have been hailed as definitive\, and she has become especially identifiable with the role of Floria Tosca. She performed the title role of Puccini's *Tosca* at the Metropolitan Opera in 2004 opposite Pavarotti in the legendary tenor's final operatic performance. Vaness made her professional debut as Vitellia for the San Francisco Spring Opera and has been acknowledged as the world's leading interpreter of this role. She has appeared as Vitellia at the Met Opera\, Paris Opera\, Royal Opera\, Covent Garden\, Chicago Lyric Opera and Gran Teatro del Liceo and at the Salzburg Festival and other leading theaters. Among her many celebrated television appearances\, she has been featured on the *Pavarotti Plus* and *Pavarotti and Friends* telecasts from Lincoln Center\, as well as the Richard Tucker Gala and *In Performance at the White House* with members of the New York City Opera.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gamma conjecture I for flag varieties (Combinatorics Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Gamma conjecture I\, proposed by Galkin\, Golyshev and Iritani\, asserts that the limit of normalized Givental’s J-function of a Fano manifold is equal to a characteristic class defined in terms of the gamma function. In this talk\, I will discuss the case for arbitrary flag varieties\, emphasizing its relationship to D-module mirror symmetry\, geometric crystals and their positive structures.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Bootstrapping the Math and Physics of Scattering Amplitudes
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Scattering amplitudes A\, or equivalently the S-matrix S = 1 + iA\, are mathematical quantities which encode the quantum mechanical probabilities for particle scattering processes. Amplitudes constitute an entire subfield of theoretical physics and are essential tools for experimental physics\, from the  Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). In this talk\, I will describe my research using “bootstrap” techniques and consistency principles to study the math and physics of amplitudes themselves. This work is part of the modern S-matrix bootstrap program\, a framework for exploring the landscape of consistent quantum theories\, including extensions of the Standard Model and theories of quantum gravity.\n\nI will begin the talk with a brief history of particle physics and the S-matrix bootstrap program. I will then introduce several physical principles which constrain amplitudes\, namely Lorentz invariance\, analyticity\, unitarity\, and crossing symmetry. Finally\, I will sketch a recent proof using these principles to bound the allowed masses and spins of particles in any consistent quantum theory. This talk will assume very little prior knowledge of particle physics\, but I will use some complex analysis and group theory with a physicist’s level of rigor.\n\nContact:  AIM Seminar Organizers

SUMMARY:Presentation:Can ‘Slavic’ Speak for Minorities? — Who Gets to Belong in Eastern Europe? - Talk 5
DESCRIPTION:This talk analyzes Russia’s imperial domination of Ukraine through the longue durée of Crimean Tatar dispossession\, arguing that Crimean Tatars offer a crucial lens on Ukraine’s past\, present\, and decolonial future. Long racialized as Russia’s Others\, Crimean Tatars were rendered legible through colonial tropes that produced enduring aphasia within Slavic and East European studies. Emerging sites of encounter\, mourning\, and recognition since 2014 point toward a bifocal decolonial project that requires disentanglement from Russian imperial power while simultaneously confronting and unmaking colonial residues within Ukraine itself.\n\nThis is a hybrid event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: François Tissot
DESCRIPTION:Over the years\, the redox-sensitive nature of uranium has brought some first-order constraints on the evolution of Earth’s surface: from the survival of detrital uraninite pointing to anoxic conditions in the Archean atmosphere/ocean\, to U isotope variations in the sedimentary record enabling the quantification of past ocean anoxia. In principle\, the redox sensitivity of U could also be leveraged in magmatic environments. Indeed\, in silicate melts\, U can occur in either the 4+\, 5+\, or 6+ valence state and information on magma oxygen fugacity (ƒO2) could be retrieved from U-bearing phases provided they can incorporate multivalent U during crystallization. In the first part of this talk\, I will present how we used U XANES to probe the speciation of U in zircon grains from various localities\, how we found that zircon can and do incorporate multivalent U in their structure\, and how the relative proportion of U4+\, 5+\, and 6+ correlate with the ƒO2 of their host rocks. Having established U oxidations states in zircon as a new tracer of magma redox\, in the second part of this talk I will then discuss how we applied this technique to zircon from the Jack Hills\, Australia\, how the cores and metamorphic rims of the investigated grains have distinct redox and trace elements systematics\, and the novel constraints these results place on the nature of Hadean magmas and tectonic modes in the Hadean-Archean.

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:Latin@ Culture Show 2026
DESCRIPTION:Latinidad Sin Fronteras celebrates the constantly evolving and boundless tapestry of Latinidad\, identities which transcend physical borders\, language\, and generations. This production strives to honor our pasts\, uplift our present voices\, and imagine a collective future rooted in resilience\, joy\, and creativity.\n\nLCS 2026 will create a blend between heritage and futurism by taking a look at the stories\, music\, and traditions which have shaped us while simultaneously envisioning how Latinidad will continue to grow and transform itself in the near future. This theme recognizes that our identities are not restrictive. It does not follow a “one size fits all” model but rather\, encompasses a constellation of experiences and truths - ranging from the Afro-Latine and Queer identities to those of being first generation or indigenous - which are all connected and bridged through shared histories and dreams.\n\nLatinidad Sin Fronteras invites our community to feel\, remember\, and imagine together – to truly explore and understand what Latinidad means when it is sin fronteras and free to become and transcend to what we desire and make it to be.

SUMMARY:Performance:Leo Kottke
DESCRIPTION:\"an American legend in the guitar world\" –Los Angeles Times \n\nAcoustic guitarist Leo Kottke was born in Athens\, Georgia\, but left town after a year and a half. Raised in 12 different states\, he absorbed a variety of musical influences as a child\, flirting with both violin and trombone\, before abandoning Stravinsky for the guitar at age 11. After adding a love for the country-blues of Mississippi John Hurt to the music of John Phillip Sousa and Preston Epps\, Kottke joined the Navy underage\, to be underwater\, and eventually lost some hearing shooting at lightbulbs in the Atlantic while serving on the USS Halfbeak\, a diesel submarine. \n\nKottke had previously entered college at the U of Missouri\, dropping out after a year to hitchhike across the country to South Carolina\, then to New London and into the Navy\, with his twelve string. \"The trip was not something I enjoyed\,\" he has said\, \"I was broke and met too many interesting people.\" Discharged in 1964\, he settled in the Twin Cities area and became a fixture at Minneapolis' Scholar Coffeehouse\, which had been home to Bob Dylan and John Koerner. He issued his 1968 recording debut LP Twelve String Blues\, recorded on a Viking quarter-inch tape recorder\, for the Scholar's tiny Oblivion label. (The label released one other LP by The Langston Hughes Memorial Eclectic Jazz Band.) \n\nAfter sending tapes to guitarist John Fahey\, Kottke was signed to Fahey's Takoma label\, releasing what has come to be called the Armadillo record. Fahey and his manager Denny Bruce soon secured a production deal for Kottke with Capitol Records. \n\nKottke's 1971 major-label debut\, \"Mudlark\,\" positioned him somewhat uneasily in the singer/songwriter vein\, despite his own wishes to remain an instrumental performer. Still\, despite arguments with label heads as well as with Bruce\, Kottke flourished during his tenure on Capitol\, as records like 1972's \"Greenhouse\" and 1973's live \"My Feet Are Smiling\" and \"Ice Water\" found him branching out with guest musicians and honing his guitar technique. \n\nHis collaboration with Phish bassist Mike Gordon\, \"Clone\,\" caught audiences' attention in 2002. Kottke and Gordon followed with a recording in the Bahamas called \"Sixty Six Steps\,\" produced by Leo's old friend and Prince producer David Z. \n\nKottke has been awarded two Grammy nominations\; a Doctorate in Music Performance by the Peck School of Music at the U of Wisconsin\, Milwaukee\; and a Certificate of Significant Achievement in Not Playing the Trombone from the U of Texas at Brownsville with Texas Southmost College.
