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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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:Museums@Noon – Internships in Switzerland and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:From the Field to the Museum: Experiences at the Museum of Natural History of Bern (Patricia Torres-Pineda\, PhD student\, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology)\nMore than 60 million natural history specimens are housed in Swiss museums\, universities\, botanical gardens\, and other heritage institutions. Nationwide investment in storage\, databasing\, and policy development actively advances museomics\, digitization\, anti-racism initiatives\, and provenance research. As a result\, these collections are increasingly recognized as dynamic archives for phylogenetic and global change research\, rather than as static displays. Join me to reflect on my experiences in one of the most important natural history museums and collections of Switzerland.\n\nArt\, Labor\, and Landscape at MOWAA: Centering Production\, Environmental Knowledge\, & Community in Museum Interpretation (Timilehin Ayelagbe\, PhD student\, Anthropology)\nThis presentation reflects on my internship at the Museum of West African Art Edo (MOWAA)\, where I contributed to research\, interpretation\, and the curation of an exhibition. Drawing on both my MOWAA experience and my UM Museum Studies training\, I discuss exhibition-making by centering production processes\, environmental knowledge\, and community context rather than focusing only on finished objects. The talk highlights how archaeological and ecological perspectives shaped my curatorial decisions and how this experience deepened my understanding of emerging museum practice in West Africa.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Multi-modal Representation Learning for Contact-rich and Dexterous Manipulation
DESCRIPTION:Co-Chairs: Dmitry Berenson and Nima Fazeli\n\nAbstract:\nMy PhD research focuses on representation learning with force and touch for contact rich\, dexterous robot manipulation. Recent robot learning has made major progress in vision and language\, but those modalities alone cannot fully capture physical interaction in robot manipulation tasks. Tasks like cleaning\, assembly\, and assistive care require robots to reason about contact and force\, especially in the presence of sensor noise and visual occlusion. My work develops learning based methods that integrate force and tactile sensing into robot learning and control. I build object centric multi-modal (vision and touch) representations to infer object state and contact under noise and occlusion\, design contact aware planning and control frameworks with learned dynamics to regulate interaction that effectively integrated with language modality\, and develop shared tactile representations that align human and robot touch signals for cross embodiment policy transfer. Overall\, this dissertation studies how force\, touch\, and contact can improve robotic dexterity in contact rich manipulation.\n\nZoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95094568449\nMeeting ID: 950 9456 8449\nPasscode: 837399

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ACUM CES: Findings from a Survey Characterizing Advisors' and Coaches' Experiences and Perceptions with Validating Approaches
DESCRIPTION:The Student Success Initiative (SSI) coming out of the Office for the Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education seeks to create data-informed change that promotes the holistic success of students at the University of Michigan. Recognizing the importance that advising and coaching play in students’ academic journeys\, one focus of the SSI is to enhance advising and coaching at U-M for both students and advisors and coaches\, such as through the implementation of training on a validation approach to advising and coaching (with training planned to begin in Sp/Su 2026). To support these efforts\, we—Dr. Solaire Finkenstaedt-Quinn (Assessment and Evaluation Specialist for the SSI) and Natalie Drobny and Gray Strain (Evaluation Advising Fellows)—are working to understand the current advising landscape at U-M and how it shifts over time as validation training is implemented. During this CES\, we will begin by presenting our findings from a survey that characterizes U-M advisors’ and coaches’ knowledge and use of approaches that align with validation theory and the mission and framework developed by the Academic Advising & Coaching Team. To close off the session\, we hope to engage advisors and coaches in a conversation about how our findings can be used to inform changes in advising and coaching at U-M.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Dark Energy Dynamics\, Spatial Curvature\, Neither\, or Both?
DESCRIPTION:Observations over the last two and half decades have persuaded cosmologists that (as yet only indirectly detected) dark energy is by far the main component of the energy budget of the current universe. I review a few simple dark energy models\, including the currently-standard ΛCDM cosmological model\, and compare their predictions to observational data\, to derive cosmological parameter constraints and to study consistency of different data sets. I summarize observational constraints on dark energy dynamics and spatial curvature\, two parameters that extend away from the time-independent cosmological constant dark energy and flat spatial hypersurfaces of the standard ΛCDM model. I also summarize observational constraints on the Hubble constant. I conclude with a list of my favorite open cosmological questions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The ‘First Proof’ Experiment
DESCRIPTION:During the first part of this talk\, we will provide some background on how modern generative AI chatbot systems work\, focusing on the setting of answering math questions. We then focus on the current state of “AI and math.”  While it is clear that AI systems are at least helpful assistants for some parts of research mathematics\, their ability to answer research-level math questions without an expert in the loop is less clear.  To assess this\, we are running a community experiment called “First Proof”\, where we have shared a set of ten math questions which have arisen naturally in the research process of the authors but which had not appeared publicly until February 7\, 2026.   Answers to the questions are known to the authors of the questions\, but will remain encrypted for one week\, while the experiment is running.  We will discuss the set-up and initial outcomes from the experiment\, and finally discuss next steps for further assessments.\n\nAbout the speaker: Rachel Ward is a professor of mathematics and holds a distinguished professorship in Data Science at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at UT Austin.  From 2023-2025\, she was on leave as Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research.  From 2017-2018 she was a visiting Researcher at Facebook AI Research.  Her research interests include optimization\, randomized numerical linear algebra\, theoretical machine learning\, and AI + Math.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Furious Harvests
DESCRIPTION:A poetry reading by Alex Averbuch from his new collection \"Furious Harvests\" (Harvard UP\, trans. from Ukrainian by Oksana Maksymchuk and Max Rosochinsky)\, in conversation with Benjamin Paloff. \"Furious Harvests\" brings readers to Averbuch’s homeland in eastern Ukraine and weaves voices from past and present wars\, tracing uprooted lives shaped by capture\, deportation\, and violence\, alongside the lingering presence of people and objects left behind in occupied territories. Drawing on family archives and mementos\, the poems assemble testimonies to the region’s complex histories\, WWII forced labor\, and the Holocaust. In a bilingual edition that mixes dialects\, registers\, and voices\, poetry speaks in rage and longing\, pressing toward an uneasy reconciliation of self and other.\n\nBranch 50 and the UM Ukrainian Students Club will follow the program with a candlelight vigil leaving the Michigan League at 5:45 pm for the U-M Diag for a moment of remembrance\, followed by a brief procession to Burton Tower\, where the Ukrainian National Anthem will be played on the carillon.\n\n5:45–6:00 pm Candlelight Vigil\, U-M Diag\n6:00–6:15 pm Procession to Burton Tower Carillon

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Finiteness of heights in isogeny classes of motives
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Using integral $p$-adic Hodge theory\, Kato and Koshikawa define a generalization of the Faltings height of an abelian variety to motives defined over a number field. Assuming the adelic Mumford-Tate conjecture\, we prove a finiteness property for heights in the isogeny class of a motive\, where the isogenous motives are not required to be defined over the same number field. This expands on a result of Kisin and Mocz for the Faltings height in isogeny classes of abelian varieties.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mixed Ehrhart theory and Alexandrov–Fenchel-type inequalities
DESCRIPTION:Ehrhart theory studies the polynomial function that counts lattice points in integer dilates of a lattice polytope. This talk will focus on a natural mixed extension: counting lattice points in Minkowski sums of several scaled lattice polytopes. This produces a multivariate polynomial whose coefficients in the binomial basis are known as discrete mixed volumes\, which generalize the classical mixed volumes in the case of lattice polytopes. Mixed volumes famously satisfy the Alexandrov–Fenchel inequalities\, which has been used to prove various log-concavity results in combinatorics. A natural question is whether analogous inequalities hold for the discrete mixed volumes. I will present an asymptotic Alexandrov–Fenchel–type inequality valid for general families of lattice polytopes\, and an exact inequality in the case of coordinate simplices\, where the proof relies on an exceptional version of the Hirzebruch–Riemann–Roch theorem on the permutohedral variety due to Berget–Eur–Spink–Tseng. We will also see that such inequalities fail in general.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Semiclassical Soliton Ensembles for the Intermediate Long Wave and Korteweg-de Vries Equations
DESCRIPTION:Semiclassical soliton ensembles (SSE) in the small dispersion limit are initially coherent collections of many solitons that well-approximate some initial profile. Evolving forward in time\, the profile will eventually undergo wave breaking\, shedding the solitons and generating a dispersive shock wave. We study this phenomenon for two PDE. The first SSE\, for the intermediate long wave equation\, is constructed to approximate general smooth Klaus-Shaw initial data. We first conduct a heuristic WKB approximation to determine the approximate scattering data and then rigorously study the inverse scattering problem using the methods of Lax and Levermore. We show the initial condition is recovered in the limit and the solution up until wave breaking approaches that of Invicid Burgers' equation in an L^2 sense. The second SSE is the sech^2 initial condition for the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Inverse scattering is done via a Reimann-Hilbert problem and the method of nonlinear steepest descent is employed. This project is joint work with K. Schmidt (University of Central Florida) and R. Buckingham (University of Cincinnati).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Working across the aisle in the Michigan Senate - with Senators Chang and Damoose
DESCRIPTION:Michigan State Senators Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit) and John Damoose (R-Harbor Spring) join the Ford School for a \"Conversation Across Differences\"\, which will bring together political leaders from across the aisle to an open forum that explores common ground. In these polarized days\, these conversations are more important than ever. \n\nThe senators have been examples of the ways in which the two sides of the Senate can cooperate and get things done – concerning water safety\, RXKids\, and other issues. The community will benefit from hearing about the ways in which they have been able to collaborate.\n\nOf course\, there are many issues on which they don't agree\, and a civil airing of views is equally important in the current hyperbolic communications environment.\n\nSpeaker bios:\n\nSenator Stephanie Chang is the first Asian American woman elected to the Michigan legislature. She worked as a community organizer in Detroit for nearly a decade before serving two terms in the Michigan House of Representatives and then as the Democratic Floor Leader for her first term in the Senate. She is currently serving her second term in the Michigan Senate and is the Senate Democratic Policy and Steering Chair.\n\nSen. Chang has led on air quality and environmental justice\, criminal justice reforms\, affordable\, safe drinking water\, and immigrants' rights issues. She has passed bipartisan legislation on a range of issues including sexual assault education and prevention\, an address confidentiality program for survivors of domestic violence\, the COVID-19 water shutoff moratorium\, female genital mutilation\, nitrous oxide \"whip-its\"\, reentry services for wrongfully convicted individuals who were exonerated\, improving Michigan's maritime economy\, support of community crisis response to mental health emergencies\, and establishing Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution. She is proud to have helped secure a historic community benefits agreement for Southwest Detroit residents near the Gordie Howe International Bridge and is active in her district advocating for the community's needs. She cofounded the Asian Pacific American Legislative Caucus in Michigan and served as the chair of the Progressive Women's Caucus in 2017-18.\n\nShe served as state director for NextGen Climate Michigan\, alumni engagement and evaluation coordinator for the Center for Progressive Leadership in Michigan\, deputy director for the Campaign for Justice and as an organizer for Michigan United/One United Michigan. She also worked as a community engagement coordinator for the James and Grace Lee Boggs School and assistant to Grace Lee Boggs\, an activist\, writer\, and speaker. The senator is a co-founder of Asian and Pacific Islander American Vote-Michigan and Rising Voices\; she also serves on the board of the Southwest Detroit Community Justice Center.\n\nChang earned her bachelor's degree in psychology and master's degrees in public policy and social work from the University of Michigan. She lives in Detroit with her husband\, Sean Gray\, and two young daughters.\n\nSenator John Damoose graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in political science in 1994\,  and immediately secured a job at the Christian Broadcasting Network in Virginia Beach\, Virginia. While there\, he learned his craft working on the 700 Club television program\, and ultimately wrote and produced a two-hour documentary on the story of America called \"Victory in Spite of All Terror.\" \n\nIn 1997\, John co-authored a book with Dr. Bill Bright\, the founder and president of Campus Crusade for Christ. The book explored the founding principles of the United States and was ultimately hand-delivered to every member of the U.S. Congress.\n\nAfter working with his family to launch several non-profit organizations and rekindle the Religious Heritage of America Foundation\, John and his father started 45 North Productions in the year 2000. Over the course of the next twenty years\, this pursuit would lead John to co-author and produce nine national television specials on themes like Arlington National Cemetery\, the Medal of Honor\, military families\, NASA\, and many others. John and his father were contracted by the Department of Defense to produce the official documentary celebrating the opening of the 9/11 Pentagon Memorial. Both John and his father had been in the Pentagon when the plane struck seven years earlier. He also wrote\, directed and produced \"The New American Road.\" The three-part series was commissioned by Ford Motor Company and tells the powerful story of what many believe is the quintessential American industry.\n\nFor nearly 25 years\, John has been a close associate of the organization that runs the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington\, D.C. In recent years\, he has served as the executive director of Building America's Tomorrow — an organization that launched a series of initiatives dedicated to rebuilding America's manufacturing workforce and encouraging career and technical education programs.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chicago Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Symphony Orchestra returns to Hill Auditorium for the first time in more than a decade\, under the leadership of Zell Music Director Designate Klaus Mäkelä.\n\nMäkelä made his thrilling UMS debut with Orchestra de Paris in March 2024\, just a few weeks before he was appointed to the Chicago post. He conducts Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7\, a work written in 1812 during the Napoleonic era with Beethoven conducting its premiere at a charity concert for wounded soldiers\, and Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique\, a revolutionary work composed just a few years after Beethoven’s death.\n\nBerlioz composed the work when he was just 27 years old\, creating a dreamlike\, hallucinatory world that mythologizes the fevered dreams of an artist who has poisoned himself with opium in the throes of unrequited love. Inspired by his own obsessive love for the actress Harriet Smithson\, who ultimately became his wife\, Berlioz uses radical orchestration\, bold narrative\, and psychological depth to trace the protagonist’s descent from infatuation into delusion and nightmare in this thrilling and imaginative score.\n\nLooking for free student tickets? All U-M undergraduate students are eligible to receive a FREE ticket to a UMS performance per academic year through the Bert’s Ticket program (a $20 value)!

Additionally they are the founders and hosts of the Red Wing Roots Music Festival\, a beloved staple of the Shenandoah Valley.

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:Workshop / Seminar:HANK’s Response to Aggregate Uncertainty in an Estimated Business Cycle Model
DESCRIPTION:This paper studies a HANK model with agents who respond to both idiosyncratic and aggregate uncertainty. Since aggregate uncertainty is modeled as ambiguity\, it affects the steady state and linearized dynamics\, allowing for fast computation and estimation. The interaction of aggregate uncertainty shocks and portfolio frictions generates a high capital premium as well as most cyclical comovement in macroeconomic aggregates. Heterogeneity in portfolios is crucial: when it is shut down\, the model fails to explain investment dynamics and the capital premium disappears. Cautious price and wage setting by firms in anticipation of aggregate uncertainty shapes employment and inflation dynamics.

DESCRIPTION:Description: This talk is part of my proposal defense for my dissertation\, which will investigate how anthropogenic land use alters ecological and evolutionary processes of host-symbiont relationships. I test the hypothesis that agricultural intensification and urbanization impact bat-symbiont dynamics through three mechanisms: contaminant exposure\, altered species interactions\, and changes in population connectivity.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The (In)Visible Acquisitions of Ann Allen Shockley
DESCRIPTION:With the “Hear\, Here” series\, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\nThis talk explores the prolific literary and professional life of archivist\, librarian\, and multi-genre author Ann Allen Shockley (b. 1927). Despite being a contemporary of Audre Lorde\, Alice Walker\, and Toni Morrison\, she is largely overlooked within Black feminist thought and Black women’s literary production. This talk analyzes correspondence\, organizational records\, and Shockley’s publications to trace how late-twentieth-century material and epistemological conditions facilitated the memorialization of some Black feminist intellectuals and creatives while obscuring others. \n\n*Jennifer Dominique Jones is a 2025-26 Jean Yokes Woodhead Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Associate Professor of History and Women's and Gender Studies.*

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Examining Driver Takeover Decisions and Trust of AVs at Rural Intersections
DESCRIPTION:This work explored whether the complexity of different rural intersections influenced driver trust and comfort in a conditionally automated vehicle (i.e.\, level 3 SAE) navigating the intersection for them. In an online survey platform (UMN Qualtrics)\, 271 participants watched five brief curated videos of a simulated automated vehicle navigating different rural intersections\, with or without the presence of traffic\, made a decision about whether they would like to take over control\, and rated their trust and comfort with the automated vehicle navigating each intersection. Intersection type was not predictive of AV trust and comfort with navigating the different intersections\, however\, drivers’ takeover decisions\, level of education\, past experience driving on J-turn intersections\, and urbanicity predicted the level of trust and comfort with the automated vehicle. The outcome of this work led to the development of a repository of curated simulated videos that were made publicly available for future research projects.\n\nFunded Research: https://ccat.umtri.umich.edu/research/minnesota/examining-driver-hand-off-and-take-over-of-avs-at-j-turn-intersections/\n---\nAbout the speakers:\nNichole is the Director of the Human Factors Safety Laboratory and Associate Research Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota. She is a research scholar at the Center for Transportation Studies and a graduate faculty member of the UMN Human Factors and Ergonomics Program. Her research interests include user-centered design in high-risk domains\, simulation\, crash reporting\, and human performance.\n\nKatelyn is a Research Fellow in the Human Factors Safety Laboratory at the University of Minnesota. Her research interests include error analysis and performance assessment\, advanced statistics\, training\, and treatment disparities in prehospital care and combat medicine.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SRC Seminar Series Presents: The Impact of Temporary Rental Subsidies on Homelessness: A Randomized Controlled Trial
DESCRIPTION:https://umich.zoom.us/s/93308993048\nMeeting ID: 933 0899 3048\nPasscode: 262913\n\nAbstract: Unconditional\, indefinite housing subsidies have been shown to reduce homelessness\, but such programs are massively over-subscribed. Policymakers have expanded less expensive\, time-limited Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) subsidies to serve more people\, with little empirical backing. Time-limited rental subsidies are predicated on the idea that homelessness results from financial constraints that can be addressed with temporary assistance. We conduct a randomized controlled trial that provides temporary rental subsidies to single\, homeless adults. During the 30 months after random assignment\, the treatment group receives an unconditional average of about $10\,000 in financial assistance\, even though only about half of those assigned to the treatment group successfully lease a unit with assistance. This assistance leads to a reduction in incidence of homelessness of one-third and a reduction in the number of shelter days by two-thirds while the subsidy is active. Preliminary sub-sample results indicate that most of these effects persist after the subsidy ends.\n\nBio: James Sullivan is a Professor of Economics at the University of Notre Dame. He has been a visiting scholar at the National Poverty Center and has served on its Advisory Board. He was a visiting professor at the University of Chicago and has served as a national Phi Betta Kappa Visiting Scholar. In 2019\, he was appointed to the U.S. Commission on Social Impact Partnerships. His research examines the effectiveness of anti-poverty programs at the national\, state\, and local level. He also studies the consumption\, saving\, and borrowing behavior of poor households\, as well as poverty and inequality measurement. In 2012\, with fellow Notre Dame Professor William Evans\, Professor Sullivan founded the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities (LEO) and currently serves as the lab’s director. LEO is a research center that works with service providers and policymakers to identify effective and scalable solutions to reduce poverty in America. Sullivan received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame and his Ph.D. from Northwestern University.

DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear native speakers share their selections of playful language from around the globe in celebration of International Mother Language Day! We're offering international treats and the option to participate in the event. Join us in the Hatcher Gallery or via Zoom (https://myumi.ch/8qddg).\n\nNursery rhymes\, tongue twisters\, and gibberish\; Mother Goose and Dr. Seuss. Children’s language can be silly\, but it’s not just fun and games. Complex verbal exercises purposely play up a given language’s nuances of sound\, syntax\, and semantics\, and so become a wonderful way to hear the voices of the world. The same lingual hijinks are equally important as conveyors of culture.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:System of Self? The Role of Slave-holding in Political Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Understanding politicians’ behavior is especially important for the Late Antebellum\, when that generation may have ‘blundered’ into a bloody conflict: the US Civil War.  We link the Washington Post’s database of congressional slaveholding to voting in the US House of Representatives in 1839-1861.  As a summary\, we examine standard voting-ideology scores and also key legislation.  While slaveholding is a powerful predictor of voting\, this relationship nearly vanishes if we control for representing a slave state.  Relatedly\, in slave states\, the overwhelming majority of congressmen were slaveholders\, even though the vast majority of eligible voters in that region were not.  Case studies illustrate how ‘crossover’ politicians (e.g. nonslaveholders in slave states) conformed to dominant voting behavior.  Our analysis favors systemic interpretations for regional differences in congressional voting\, rather than this specific form of self-interest.  The system brought its peculiar interests to the forefront.

His latest book\, *In the Midst of Civilized Europe: The Pogroms of 1918-1921* and the *Onset of the Holocaust*\, won a Canadian Jewish Literary Award and a Vine Book Award\, and was a finalist for the Lionel Gelber Prize\, the National Jewish Book Award\, and the Wingate Literary Prize. Professor Veidlinger is also the author of the award-winning books\, *In the Shadow of the Shtetl: Small-Town Jewish Life in Soviet Ukraine*\, *The Moscow State Yiddish Theater: Jewish Culture on the Soviet Stage*\, and *Jewish Public Culture in the Late Russian Empire*.\n\nDanielle Leavitt is a historian of modern Ukraine and the Soviet Union\, with a particular interest in Russian and Ukrainian relations\, human age\, generation\, and gender. Her work examines the function of generation and human age in Soviet history and works to insert the stories of underrepresented populations\, such as the elderly and women\, into consequential debates about stagnation\, cultural life\, Soviet collapse\, post-Soviet economic and political development\, and the Russo-Ukrainian war.\n   \nDr. Leavitt’s first book\, *By the Second Spring: Seven Lives and One Year of the War in Ukraine* (2025\, FSG)\, charted the lives of seven Ukrainians through the first year of Russia’s war on Ukraine. Based on a unique set of online diaries\, Leavitt contextualized her seven subjects\, Ukrainian society\, and its predicaments for a wide audience\, introducing readers to a rigorous but accessible history of Ukraine\, the Soviet Union\, its collapse\, and Russia’s historical relationship with its neighbors.\n   \nLeavitt received her PhD in History from Harvard University in 2023. From 2023-2025\, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute.\n   \nRonald Grigor Suny is the William H. Sewell Jr. Distinguished University Professor of History and Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan and Emeritus Professor of Political Science and History at the University of Chicago.\n   \nProfessor Suny’s intellectual interests have centered on the non-Russian nationalities of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union\, particularly those of the South Caucasus (Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, and Georgia). The “national question” was an area of study that was woefully neglected for many decades until peoples of the periphery mobilized themselves in the Gorbachev years. His aim has been to consider the history of imperial Russia and the USSR without leaving out the non-Russian half of the population\, to see how multi-nationality\, processes of imperialism and nation-making shaped the state and society of that vast country. This in turn has led to work on the nature of empires and nations\, studies in the historiography and methodology of studying social and cultural history\, and a commitment to bridging the often-unbridgeable gap between the traditional concerns of historians and the methods and models of other social scientists.\n   \nYurii Kaparulin is a historian and legal scholar who studies Eastern Europe's history and law\, with particular interests in Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, Human Rights\, and International Сrimes. He is an associate professor in the Department of National\, International Law\, and Law Enforcement\, and director of the Raphael Lemkin Center for Genocide Studies\, at Kherson State University. He was awarded a 2024-27 Raoul Wallenberg Fellowship at the University of Michigan.\n   \nKaparulin is the author of the book *Oleksandr Riabinin-Skliarevskyi (1878-1942): An Intellectual Biography of a Historian*\, which reveals the background of the late Russian Empire\, the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917-1921\, and Soviet Ukraine in the 1920s and 1930s through the life of a repressed military officer and historian. His second current book project is titled *Between Soviet Modernization and the Holocaust: Jewish Agrarian Settlements in Southern Ukraine (1924-1948)*.\n   \nMarkian Dobczansky was the Associate Director of the Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Center at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\, where he taught classes in Slavic and Eurasian Studies\, Soviet and Ukrainian history\, and EU Studies.\n   \nHe received a Ph.D. in Russian/Soviet history from Stanford University with a dissertation on the politics of culture in twentieth-century Kharkiv\, and held post-doctoral fellowships at the University of Toronto and Columbia University. His research interests include the history of the Soviet Union\, Ukraine\, and Russia\, the politics of culture\, urban history\, and the Cold War. He has also worked in an administrative capacity at the Central Eurasian Studies Society\, the Shevchenko Scientific Society in the U.S.\, and the Kennan Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELED: DSI Lecture Series | Trans Ecologies of the Real and the Virtual in Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:For the survival of all our ecologies\, we must refuse human centricity and build networks of care across lines of species and liveliness. This talk stitches a line from trans people to an expanded conception of trans\, using a focus on trans ecological poetics to go beyond a focus on the human. I broaden the operation of “trans” in trans media studies to include non-human movements\, such as those made by animals\, viruses\, and movements across the boundaries between different environments. Trans media studies can extend the fields of media studies\, transgender studies\, and trans of color studies to connect more deeply to and through non-human entities. Still\, any injunction for queer and trans studies to go beyond the human must reconcile with the history of trans\, Palestinian\, Black\, and Indigenous people being deemed less than human. In this talk\, I use the method of algorithmic analysis proposed in my book *Poetic Operations: Trans of Color Art in Digital Media* (Duke UP\, 2022) to explore the operations that make up the poetics of three contemporary artworks—*Sin Sol* (2020)\, an augmented reality installation I created with the Critical Realities Studio\, *Acoustic Ocean* (2018)\, a short film by Ursula Biemann and “Of Whales”\, a film created using virtual reality created by Wu Tsang.\n\nmicha cárdenas\, PhD\, MFA\, is an artist\, author and Professor of Critical Race & Ethnic Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. She is the director of the Critical Realities Studio. Her debut novel* Atoms Never Touch* (AK Press 2023) imagines trans latina love crossing multiple quantum realities. Her academic monograph P*oetic Operations : Trans of Color Art in Digital Media* (Duke UP 2022) was the co-winner of the Gloria Anzaldúa Book Prize in 2022 from the National Women’s Studies Association “for groundbreaking monographs in women’s studies that makes significant multicultural feminist contributions to women of color/transnational scholarship”. cárdenas was a winner of the 2022 Anonymous Was a Woman artist award. She is currently working on her next academic monograph* After Man: Trans Ecologies and Climate Justice*\, as well as *The Probability Engine*\, a multi-disciplinary artwork imagining futures of climate justice. She is a first generation Colombian American.\n\nWe strive to make our events accessible to all participants. This will be a virtual event held in an online meeting space.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Classical mechanics as the high-entropy limit of quantum mechanics
DESCRIPTION:In our recent publication (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1402-4896/ae3a20)\, we show that classical mechanics can be recovered as the high-entropy limit of quantum mechanics. That is\, the high entropy masks quantum effects\, and mixed states of high enough entropy can be approximated with classical distributions. The mathematical limit hbar to 0 can be recovered by decreasing entropy of pure states to minus infinity\, in the same way that non-relativistic mechanics can be recovered mathematically by increasing the speed of light c to plus infinity. Physically\, these limits are more appropriately understood as a high entropy limit and low speed limit respectively\, representing approximations that are independent of underlying mechanism. With this approach\, the classical limit is both formally and conceptually similar to the non-relativistic limit\, and is independent of interpretation. It also gives an intuitive understanding to the Dirac correspondence principle: it is looking for a theory with lower entropy bound that\, at high entropy\, recovers classical mechanics. Given that the Moyal bracket is the unique one-parameter Lie-algebraic deformation of the Poisson bracket\, quantum mechanics is the only theory that can provide such a lower bound on the entropy.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jewish Journalism in Dark Times
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a roundtable discussion exploring the transformation of Jewish journalism during the interwar years  (1918–1939) and World War II\, an era of profound upheaval. Panelists will analyze how Jewish newspapers and journals became vital platforms for political\, literary\, and cultural engagement. The discussion will highlight dramatic shifts in journalistic practices\, including evolving editorial strategies\, reporting methods\, and technological innovations in format and distribution and the transnational and transcultural elements that come to the fore during that time. Panelists will also examine the economic pressures and opportunities that shaped the Jewish press\, and consider the influence and role of Jews as journalists within the broader media landscape.\n\nGilad Halpern\, journalist and media historian\, draws on recent doctoral research on The Palestine Post amid imperial decline and rising nationalism\, bridging professional and scholarly perspectives. Naomi Brenner explores entertainment fiction in the Hebrew and Yiddish press\, focusing on the aesthetics and politics of the roman-feuilleton as a transnational literary form.\nMatthew Handelman investigates the cultural politics of German Jewish intellectuals  and the primacy of culture in political discourse from the Weimar Republic onward.\n\nCentral to the conversation is the role of Jewish periodicals as spaces for cultural expression\, literary experimentation\, and political debate. These publications not only documented Jewish life\, but actively shaped identities\, fostered transnational dialogue\, and provided forums for writers\, artists\, and intellectuals grappling with questions of survival and belonging. This roundtable offers timely insights into journalism during a time of crisis\, illuminating enduring questions about Jews and media.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Making Confident Money Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Dinner provided by Curry On! Registration is required for food planning purposes. \n\n***Doors open 4:45\, programming begins promptly at 5:00pm.***\n\nIt’s pretty common for students to feel overwhelmed when it comes to making financial decisions. But just because it’s common\, doesn’t mean it’s ok. This workshop integrates group interaction\, staff guidance\, and video instruction featuring Financial Therapist\, Lindsay Bryan-Podvin\, for a comprehensive learning experience. This workshop will help students learn how to dial financial confusion so they can start making money-related decisions with confidence. Attendees will learn why making money-related decisions can cause so much stress\, how to deal with financial choices (and if it’s working)\, and various ways to dial down the discomfort to start making money decisions with more confidence.\n\nRecommended order to take workshops:\n\n    1 – Your Money Story\n    2 – Making Confident Financial Decisions\n    3 – Ultimate Financial Wellness\n    4 – Caring for Your$elf\n    5 – Be The Boss of Your Finances\n\nRSVP for Financial Empowerment workshops here: myumi.ch/8r6kq

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Analysis Seminar: Domino Tilings of Black-and-White Temperleyan Cylinders
DESCRIPTION:The dimer model on a bipartite graph \( G \subset \mathbb{Z}^2 \) refers to choosing a random dimer cover of \( G \) (equivalently\, a random domino tiling on its dual graph \( G^\star \).  Each such dimer cover is associated with a height function defined on the vertices of \( G^\star \).  If we let \( \Omega_\delta \subset \delta\mathbb{Z}^2 \) be graphs of mesh size \( \delta \) which approximate a domain ( \Omega \subset \C )\, then the Kenyon–Okounkov conjecture states that fluctuations of the height function on \( \Omega_\delta^\star \) converge in distribution as \( \delta \downarrow 0 \) to the sum of the Gaussian Free Field on \( \Omega \) and a random harmonic function.\n\nAfter describing earlier results which prove the Kenyon–Okounkov conjecture for certain discrete approximations\, we will introduce the dimer model on cylindrical domains with Temperleyan boundary components of different colors.  In this doubly connected setup\, we confirm the Kenyon–Okounkov conjecture from general principles rather than explicit computations.  Time permitting\, we will discuss the main components of our proof.  This talk is based on joint work with Dmitry Chelkak.

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.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Yiruo Xu Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Understanding Earth’s tectonic processes is contingent on constraining their rates and durations. The timescale of metamorphism (i.e.\, for how long a rock is subjected to high pressure and temperature) is indicative of how heat and mass transfer during a tectonic event. During metamorphism\, compositional gradients form in minerals and are modified by chemical diffusion. Forward modeling of the extent of diffusion quantifies the time involved in the production and preservation of these gradients\, and thus proves to be a powerful tool for constraining metamorphic timescales (“diffusion chronometry”). However\, tectonic settings of different types and ages have not been evenly targeted for rigorous diffusion studies.\nThis thesis applies diffusion chronometry in garnet to various terranes and demonstrates its potential in addressing critical questions about Earth’s tectonics.\n\nThe first chapter reviews the significance of timescale constraints in the study of tectonics and introduces the fundamental principles of chemical diffusion in garnet. Chapters 2 and 3 evaluate the secular change of global metamorphic cooling rates over Earth’s history using two case studies of an Archean craton\, the Superior Province of North America. The Minnesota River Valley Subprovince is characterized by two neighboring crustal blocks that were metamorphosed contemporaneously to different grades by an advective heating event. They record strikingly different cooling rates that suggest greater complexities in the cooling histories of Precambrian orogens than commonly assumed. A comprehensive study of the Quetico\nSubprovince that contrasts diffusion chronometry with radiometric dating (“thermochronology”) further demonstrates the uncertainty and variability of Archean metamorphic cooling rates. The suggestion that the apparent increase in cooling rates globally\, since the Archean eon\, reflects fundamental tectonic changes should be evaluated with caution\, given the inherent limitations and biases of existing data. Chapter 4 presents the first application of\ndiffusion chronometry to constrain the timescales of material cycling deep in a subduction zone using complexly zoned garnet crystals from Jurassic subduction m´elanges of Cedros Island\, Baja California\, Mexico. The pressure–temperature–time evolution of the subducted blocks cannot be explained by large-scale distributed flow in the subduction channel\, as proposed in some numerical models. Instead\, the subducted materials experienced more complex circulation and rapid exhumation via focused return flow.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Dissertation Defense Seminar> Revisiting the role of DNA polymerase I in maintaining the genome integrity of Bacillus subtilis
DESCRIPTION:One of the essential biological findings of the past century was the discovery of DNA polymerase\, which revealed the core mechanism by which DNA is faithfully replicated and repaired in cells. While polymerases were first described in bacteria\, homologous proteins are present in all domains and contribute to multi-faceted systems that employ multiple DNA polymerases to optimize both fidelity and processivity. Of these\, one of the most adaptable enzymes is the originally discovered bacterial polymerase\, DNA polymerase I (Pol I). This protein has three distinct domains that confer different functions: a 5′-3′ flap endonuclease (FEN) for removing downstream nucleic acids\, a 3′-5′ exonuclease for proofreading the nascent strand\, and a 5′-3′ polymerase for synthesizing DNA. These three activities allow Pol I to contribute broadly to DNA repair and replication\, though its canonical roles are primer removal and Okazaki fragment maturation. \n\nThe role of Pol I in primer removal\, however\, was established using Pol I from the gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli and does not consider diverging functions that may have developed as bacterial lineages evolved separately. Using genetic screens and biochemical assays\, we characterized Pol I and a Pol I-independent FEN from Bacillus subtilis (FEN\, formerly YpcP). We demonstrate that FEN is actively involved in Okazaki fragment maturation in vivo\, as cells lacking fenA are sensitive to the accumulation of RNA-DNA hybrids and this phenotype is not rescued by over-expression of polA. Using a variety of substrates\, we show that FEN is a more active nuclease than Pol I. FEN showed significant activity on substrates mimicking intermediates formed during Okazaki fragment maturation (5′\, 3′ double-flap\, 5′ flap\, nicked duplex\, and 3′ overhang)\, whereas Pol I preferentially acted on DNA-only nicked and 3′ overhang structures. These substrate preferences indicate that the major role of FEN is Okazaki fragment maturation while Pol I nuclease function is more important for DNA repair. As Pol I nuclease activity was not stimulated by concurrent DNA synthesis\, we propose that in bacteria that encode a second\, active FEN\, RNA primers are primarily removed by FEN rather than Pol I. \n\nA more recent repair activity attributed to A-family polymerases\, such as Pol I\, is RNA-templated lesion bypass. As our FEN data suggest that the primary role of BsPol I is in DNA repair\, we investigated whether Pol I could use ribonucleotides as a template for DNA synthesis. Since RNA is often found incorporated in DNA\, either as part of R-patches or R-tracts\, this category of damage represents a significant barrier to successful replication. We show that BsPol I performs efficient primer extension using both a template composed entirely of RNA or a DNA template containing embedded ribonucleotides. We also assayed other bacterial Pol Is and found that they possess similar capabilities as BsPol I\, though the efficiency of this synthesis varies by species. This activity is not performed by the B. subtilis replicative polymerases\, PolC and DnaE\, as we found that neither are capable of sustained synthesis using a template that contains ribonucleotides. PolC was arrested by the inclusion of a single ribonucleotide in the template\, while DnaE was able to synthesize DNA using a template that contained a stretch of 5 ribonucleotides. Together\, these data support RNA-templated DNA synthesis by Pol I as a viable pathway for replication forks to navigate ribonucleotides incorporated in DNA.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Rummage RIW
DESCRIPTION:A Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop focused on the nexus of exhibition\, collection\, curation\, display\, and representation within museums and museum-adjacent spaces. The group’s name\, rummage\, evokes both a materiality and an intellectual practice characteristic of museum studies more broadly. On the one hand\, rummaging has a tactile quality. It gestures to the human role in how objects are placed and misplaced\, organized and disorganized\, thrown into juxtaposition\, and often randomly re-discovered anew by individuals negotiating various value systems associated with objects. It evokes an image of coming to objects of the past with new eyes and curiosity. On the other hand\, rummaging could also be used to describe an intellectual approach. In posing questions about the how and why certain narratives come to be exhibited and interpreted\, we root around historical understandings of heritage and the power dynamics that lead certain narratives to become dominant. This process is guided by curiosity\, a drive to understand\, and a skepticism of ordering systems. Founded in Fall 2023\, this RIW takes the attics\, closets\, and cabinets of exhibition history as a starting point to engage questions relating to those spaces aligned with — or challenging — the International Council of Museums’ broad definition of a museum as an institution “in the service of society that researches\, collects\, conserves\, interprets and exhibits tangible and intangible heritage”.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ Students in Our Political Context
DESCRIPTION:Join the University of Michigan Spectrum Center for a roundtable of scholars and practitioners to discuss how to support and serve queer and trans students in U.S. higher education at this time of our nation’s history. As the policy landscape shifts rapidly and higher education institutions move to shutter gender and sexuality centers and end critical programs and services\, queer and trans students persist on our campuses. What does current scholarship indicate these students need to survive or thrive? What are centers and programs that still exist doing to preserve knowledge of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and continue to support these populations? How can we bridge theory and praxis to center QT communities and encourage people of all genders and sexualities to work for more just and welcoming campuses? Our panelists\, Dr. Kris Renn\, Dr. Antonio Duran\, and Dr. Kristopher Oliveira\, represent innovative and student-centered scholarship and praxis. We encourage researchers\, scholar-practitioners\, and graduate students from U-M and beyond to be a part of this important conversation.\n\nPlease note that this webinar will be live only and will not be recorded or sent to participants.\n\nPANELIST BIOS\n\nJesse Beal\, (they/them/theirs) Jesse Beal is the director of Spectrum Center. They joined as associate director in November 2021 and were named the director in December 2022. Prior to arriving at the University of Michigan\, Jesse served as the director of the Gender and Sexuality Campus Center at Michigan State University. Jesse is an experienced student affairs practitioner\, who brings over a decade of experience leading student-facing affinity-based resource centers at Amherst College\, Brandeis University\, Suffolk University\, and MSU. They bring a demonstrated history of working towards equity and inclusion in higher education with a practice that is collaborative\, student-centered\, intersectional\, and justice based. Jesse has been a social justice and LGBTQIA2S+ activist\, educator\, and consultant for the past fifteen years. They present regularly at national conferences and at many colleges\, universities\, and nonprofits. Jesse serves as the director of community and advocacy for the Consortium of Higher Education LGBTQ Resource Professionals\, a member-based association working toward the liberation of LGBTQ people in higher education. Jesse is also a PhD student in the Michigan State University Higher\, Adult\, and Lifelong Education (HALE) program studying LGBTQIA2S+ populations in higher education. They possess a Master of Arts in women's and gender studies from Brandeis University and a Bachelor of Arts in women's and gender studies and government from the University of Texas at Austin. As the director\, they provide campus-wide leadership on strategies to advance equity\, and inclusion with regard to gender and sexuality. Jesse drives our strategic planning\, sets unit goals\, and oversees the operation of the center and our programs and services\n\nAntonio Duran\, PhD (he/him/his) is an Associate Professor of Higher and Postsecondary Education\, as well as a 1L JD student at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. His research agenda addresses how issues of inequity shape institutions of higher education and what practitioners\, faculty\, and students do to resist them. He is especially interested in applying frames that expose how intersecting systems of oppression affect multiply minoritized people and their navigation of these social institutions. As a JD student\, he strives to explore how research informs legal practice (and vice-versa) to advance equity and justice.\n\nKristopher Oliveira\, PhD (he/him/his) is Director of the LGBTQ+ Equity Center at the University of Maryland and a faculty affiliate. A sociologist and higher education leader\, he has previously directed LGBTQ+ centers at Princeton\, the University of Kansas\, and St. Cloud State University. His research examines Queer and Trans (QT) resource centers and practitioners\, exploring programmatic and academic outcomes for QT students and the experiences of Black and Queer professionals in higher education. He is co-editor of the forthcoming volume Championing Trans and Queer Inclusion Beyond the Campus Resource Center and serves as Practitioner-in-Residence for ACPA’s Coalition for Sexuality and Gender Identities. Kristopher has also held leadership and volunteer roles with the Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals\, the Trevor Project\, and the Human Rights Campaign. When not working\, he enjoys traveling\, all things Oz\, and time with his husband\, Alfredo\, and their chihuahua\, Scooby Doo.\n\nKristen Renn\, PhD (she/her/hers) is University Distinguished Professor of Higher\, Adult\, &amp\; Lifelong Education at Michigan State University. With a background in student affairs administration\, including inaugurating the role of LGBTQ resource provider at Brown University\, she has for the last 30 years focused her research on the identities\, experiences\, and development of minoritized students in higher education. She was co-PI of the National Study of LGBTQ Student Success\, a two-phase study of LGBTQ college students comprising a mixed methods survey/interview phase and a four-year longitudinal interview phase conducted with LGBTQ students.\n\nMORE SPECTRUM CENTER EVENTS\nhttps://spectrumcenter.umich.edu/events\n\nMORE NCID EVENTS\nhttps://ncid.umich.edu/events

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Who Gets What in Education:  Can School Matching Improve Student Achievement? (with Parag Pathak and Atila Abdulkadiroglu)
DESCRIPTION:We examine two approaches to improving urban school systems: changing who gets to go to existing schools (reallocation) and restructuring school portfolios through closures and reconstitution (resource augmentation). Using data from New York City high schools\, we estimate models of school effects allowing for both vertical school quality differences and horizontal student-specific match effects. While sophisticated reallocation policies that op- timize student-school matches can generate modest educational gains\, they are constrained by limited seats at highly effective schools. Simple resource-augmentation policies targeting replacement of low-performing schools achieve comparable improvements with less systemic disruption. Analysis of NYC’s school closures reveals that basic graduation rate metrics effectively identify struggling schools\, suggesting complex value-added models may be un- necessary for targeting closure decisions. Our findings indicate that capacity constraints\, rather than poor school matching\, primarily drive educational inequality.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | X-ray vision in the age of free-electron lasers: Making the invisible visible
DESCRIPTION:For well over a century x rays have been a powerful tool for probing atomic-scale structure due to their short wavelength and relatively weak interaction with matter.  As sources have become ever more brilliant\, scientists have been able to probe the microscopic world with more and more exquisite detail. In the past couple of decades free-electron lasers have provided the most intense laboratory source of x rays with femtosecond pulse durations---short enough to capture the fastest vibrations in solids\, and the making and breaking of chemical bonds.  In this colloquium\, I'll present a few examples of how we utilize these remarkable light sources to gain new insight into material properties.  I’ll present a novel method for studying non-equilibrium lattice dynamics in the time domain[1] which we’ve used to identify a novel lattice instability in photoexcited SnSe[2]\, as well as identify the changes in interatomic forces that drive it [3].  The high brightness further allows us to isolate valence electron density within the atomic bonds[4].  I’ll show how we’ve been able to view the local nonlinear response to sub-bandgap excitation in the prototypical semiconductor silicon[5].  These results advance our goals of developing a mechanistic understanding\, and novel methods of controlling\, the remarkable properties of materials on their fundamental length and time scales.\n\n[1] M.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: p-adic integration of hyperplane arrangements and geometric representation theory
DESCRIPTION:The Strong Monodromy Conjecture predicts a mysterious relationship between the non-Archimedean and Archimedean worlds. It suggests that\, for a polynomial f\, the operation of integrating its p-adic norm is governed by the integrals of its Archimedean norm.\n\nHyperplane arrangements provide a fertile testing ground to investigate these connections. In 2009\, Budur-Mustațǎ-Teitler proved the weak Monodromy Conjecture for hyperplane arrangements and introduced the n/d conjecture\, demonstrating that the latter implies the strong version. Although verified for many cases\, a full resolution of the n/d conjecture has remained elusive.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present a proof of the n/d conjecture\, which relies on a new approach that emerges from a confluence of recent Hodge-theoretic approaches to singularities\, and the recent breakthrough on the unitary dual of Lie groups. This is based on the joint work with Dougal Davis.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Faculty Protections Workshop: Media Readiness
DESCRIPTION:Faculty today should be prepared to manage engagements with\npotentially aggressive reporters. Are you unsure about whether to respond\nquickly to a charged media request with a deadline today? Do you know\nwhat you should do to manage your reputation and position as an expert in your\nfield? Do you know what not to do when a reporter contacts you\nfor a story? This workshop is designed to support faculty members as they\nnavigate interactions with the media—especially when confronted with\nchallenging contacts.The Michigan News team\noffers interactive workshops and training\, for individuals and groups\, that\nprepare faculty for a variety of media engagement scenarios. Michigan News is\npart of the Office of the Vice President for Communications\, and its staff\nincludes former reporters from new agencies such as The Associated Press\, the\nDetroit Free Press\, Crain's Business\, Rocky Mountain News\, Folha de São Paulo\,\nAtlanta Journal Constitution\, Telemundo\, WXYZ-TV and more.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the request of SACUA's Protections for Faculty Working\nGroup\, Michigan News will provide training to help reduce worry and empower\nfaculty to interact with potentially aggressive journalists. This event is part\nof the working group's efforts to support faculty facing external threats and\nharassment. Michigan News will share\, step by step\, what to do when faculty\nreceive a reporter's email or call\, and will provide resources and\nopportunities for further media training.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:An Operatic Reimagining of The Handmaid’s Tale: Gender\, Power\, and Reproductive Justice
DESCRIPTION:In 1985\, Margaret Atwood\, The Handmaid’s Tale\, envisioned a theocratic regime that systematically stripped women and gender-diverse people of their reproductive freedom. Although Atwood’s narrative is fiction\, the realities of forced reproduction and restricted bodily autonomy have long impacted women of color\, low-income women\, disabled women\, and people of diverse gender identities\, making this story compelling and profoundly relevant today.  The novel’s evolution into a television show and now\, an opera reflects its sustained cultural and political resonance. This event\, co-hosted by the Detroit Opera and the University of Michigan’s Center for History\, Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences\, and Ethics in Medicine\, will feature a free\, moderated discussion about the operatic adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale. Together\, we will explore how artistic representations can stimulate important conversations about reproductive justice\, structural power\, and the ongoing struggles faced by women and people of marginalized genders. Through centering the role of art in social critique and activism\, this event aims to deepen understanding of gender and sexuality in the context of contemporary debates surrounding reproductive rights.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DE Seminar(**SPECIAL TIME**): Finite time singularities in the Landau equation with very hard potentials
DESCRIPTION:The Landau equation\, introduced by Lev Landau in 1936\, is one of the central equations in kinetic theory. We consider the Landau equation with very hard potentials $\gamma \in (\sqrt{3}\,2]$\, which is known to admit global smooth solutions for homogeneous data. Inspired by hydrodynamic limits from kinetic equations to fluid equations\, we construct smooth\, strictly positive initial data that develop a finite-time singularity by lifting imploding singularities from the compressible Euler equations. In self‑similar variables\, the solution becomes asymptotically hydrodynamic—the distribution function converges to a local Maxwellian\, while the hydrodynamic fields develop an asymptotically self‑similar implosion whose profile coincides with a smooth imploding profile of the compressible Euler equations.  To our knowledge\, this provides the first example of a collisional kinetic model which is globally well-posed in the homogeneous setting\, but admits finite time singularities for inhomogeneous data.\n \nThis is joint work with Jacob Bedrossian (UCLA)\, Maria Gualdani (UT Austin)\, Sehyun Ji (UChicago)\, Vlad Vicol (NYU)\, and Jincheng Yang (JHU).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning MFG via MFAC Flow
DESCRIPTION:We introduce the Mean-Field Actor-Critic (MFAC) flow\, a continuous-time learning dynamics for solving mean-field games (MFGs)\, drawing on ideas from reinforcement learning\, generative modeling\, and optimal transport. The MFAC framework jointly evolves the actor\, critic\, and distribution through gradient-based updates\, with the distribution governed by a novel Optimal Transport Geodesic Picard (OTGP) flow. The OTGP flow drives the distribution toward equilibrium along Wasserstein-2 geodesics. We rigorously analyze the MFAC flow using Lyapunov functionals and establish global exponential convergence under suitable time scales. The analysis highlights the coupled structure of the algorithm and offers practical guidelines for choosing learning rates. Numerical results further support the theory and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. This is joint work with Mo Zhou (UCLA) and Haosheng Zhou (UCSB).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: A Beginner’s introduction to optimal control theory
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I describe the basic deterministic control problem and how to solve it using the method of the adjoint function. The method is motivated through examination of the problem’s structure and properties its solutions would exhibit. Hopefully by the end of this talk you’ll know what an adjoint function is\, be able to solve basic optimal control problems\, and have an idea of when solutions exist.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology seminar: Top-dimensional cohomology of the congruence subgroup Gamma_{0\,n}(p)
DESCRIPTION:Let Gamma_{0\,n}(p) be the congruence subgroup of level p of SL_n(Z) whose first column is congruent to (*\,0\,\dots\,0)^t \mod p. The cohomology of this subgroup has connections to problems in algebraic K-theory and number theory. Borel and Serre (1973) showed that the rational cohomology of Gamma_{0\,n}(p) vanishes above degree n(n+1)/2. \n\nWe prove that the top-dimensional rational cohomology group of Gamma_{0\,n}(p) vanishes for all p equal to 2\,3\,5\,7\,13 and when n is at least 3\, as well as for all primes p at most 6n-14. We also reprove the known non-vanishing result that this group is nonzero for n=2 for every prime p\, and we establish a new non-vanishing for n=3 for all primes p not equal to 2\,3\,5\,7\,13. \n\nIn this talk\, I will outline the ideas behind these results and briefly survey what is known about the top-dimensional cohomology of related congruence subgroups.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCEE Lecture. The Roots of Russia’s War on Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Putin’s regime has advanced various pretexts for invading Ukraine\, including NATO expansion\, Ukraine’s alleged “neo-Nazi government\,” and a supposed genocide against ethnic Russians in the Donbas. These false claims are rooted in a narrative of the so-called historical unity of Russians and Ukrainians. After tracing the historical origins of Russia’s unwillingness to accept an independent Ukrainian state\, this talk examines these Putinist narratives alongside the real motivations behind Russian aggression\, which lie in late Soviet and post-Soviet developments. Key factors include diverging political and social trajectories in Russia and Ukraine\, conflicting interpretations of the Soviet past\, and the distorted perception of Ukraine shared by Putinist elites and many ordinary Russians. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine is not merely about reclaiming historically “Russian” territories\; it is also an attempt to eliminate a political and social model that the Russian dictator finds profoundly threatening. In this sense\, the war represents an extension of his assault on Russia’s own civil society as well as a continuation of a long-standing Russian crusade against Western influences.\n   \nBorn and educated in Ukraine when it was part of the Soviet Union\, Serhy Yekelchyk received a Ph.D. from the University of Alberta. He is the author of eight books on modern Ukrainian history\, Stalinism\, and Russo-Ukrainian relations. His monograph *Stalin’s Citizens: Everyday Politics in the Wake of Total War* (Oxford University Press\, 2014) was the recipient of the Best Book Award from the American Association for Ukrainian Studies\, and its Ukrainian translation in 2019 received a special diploma of the Lviv Book Forum. His survey of Ukrainian history\, *Ukraine: Birth of a Modern Nation* (Oxford University Press\, 2007)\, was *Choice Magazine’s* Book of the Year and went on to be translated into five languages. Yekelchyk is currently working on the third\, considerably expanded\, edition of his popular book about the Euromaidan Revolution and Russian aggression in Ukraine\, *Ukraine: What Everyone Needs to Know* (Oxford University Press\, 2020). Yekelchyk has written op-eds for the *Washington Post*\, *Wall Street Journal*\, and *Politico*. His interview credits include the BBC History Magazine\, CNN\, the *New York Times*\, and numerous other international media outlets. A professor of History and Slavic Studies at the University of Victoria\, Yekelchyk is current president of the Canadian Association for Ukrainian Studies.\n\nZoom Registration Link: https://myumi.ch/z98x4\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu.

DESCRIPTION:QMSS Community Hours are open to all students as a place to build community\, work\, study\, and get help & support from QMSS Peer Mentors and GSIs.\n\nQMSS Community Hours are designed to be a casual\, supportive\, weekly community-building and open study hours event for students in the QMSS Community (i.e.\, students previously or currently enrolled in any QMSS courses\, declared QMSS minors\, and student friends of the QMSS program).

QMSS Peer Mentors will always be present for the entire event to chat about navigating the QMSS minor\, finding\, applying for\, and getting offers for summer internships that utilize QMSS skills\, life as a student at the University of Michigan\, or anything else they've been thinking about lately and seeking additional support or resources for!\n\nOpen to all students!

SUMMARY:Performance:Grant Flick
DESCRIPTION:Album release show!\n\nGrant Flick is a multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, educator\, and collaborative artist currently based in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. While his main instrument is violin he typically inhabits spaces where it is not uncommon to find him playing nyckelharpa\, tenor guitar\, mandolin\, or just about any other fifth-tuned stringed instrument. He lives fluidally between idioms/genres with a focus on original instrumental music primarily influenced by American improvisational idioms (bluegrass\, jazz\, new acoustic music\, etc.)\, the music of Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli\, and chamber music both new and old. His most recent album “The Great Door” showcases his writing style in a quartet featuring entirely original material.\n\nGrant believes that instrumental music is a medium of thought that has the power to express ideas that words cannot define. He loves to collaborate with others in this artform. You can hear him play with projects such as his duo with outstanding bassist Jacob Warren creatively titled “Warren & Flick\,” his unique original quartet “Westbound Situation\,” or transatlantic inspired fiddling duos with Hannah O’Brien. The work of these projects is documented on albums such as “Cormorant” (Warren & Flick)\, “Accord” (Westbound Situation)\, and “Unmatched Pair” (Hannah O’Brien & Grant Flick). \n\nThis performance will be a celebration of Grant’s latest release \"The Great Door\".

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:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute | Distributed quantum science with neutral atom arrays
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project\, 2301 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109\, USA\, PML2000\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99940829961?jst=2\n\nAbstract: The realization of fast and high-fidelity entanglement between separated arrays of neutral atoms would enable a host of new opportunities in quantum communication\, distributed quantum sensing\, and modular quantum computation. In this talk\, I will describe two approaches we are pursuing to generate fast and high-fidelity remote entanglement. In the first approach\, we have demonstrated a photonic interconnect based on high-fidelity entanglement of the metastable nuclear spin-1/2 qubit in ytterbium-171 and a telecom-band photon with time-bin encoding. We have realized an atom-photon Bell state fidelity of 0.95 when correcting for atomic measurement errors. As an extension of this work\, I will describe a second system based on ytterbium-171 atom arrays in a near-concentric optical cavity. We anticipate the ability to generate atom-atom Bell pairs with fidelity approaching 0.99 and rate of 10^4 ebits/sec using this telecom photonic interface. In the second approach\, I will introduce a novel technique for transporting large tweezer arrays over 200 mm within a single vacuum chamber via a microscope objective mounted on an air-bearing linear motion stage. I will describe our vision for modular quantum computation based on an array of atom arrays.\n\nBio: Prof. Covey’s research utilizes arrays of individually controlled neutral alkaline-earth atoms in optical tweezers to engineer many-body entangled states. Applications of interest include distributed quantum computing\, quantum communication\, and quantum-enhanced metrology with atomic array optical clocks. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Colorado-Boulder.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Kathleen Stebe\, Univeristy of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nStrategies to mimic biology’s ability to generate complex\, adaptive\, hierarchical structures via emergent interactions are transforming materials science. Active colloids in nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) are exciting vehicles for such bio-inspired materials manipulation. Isotropic spherical colloids with rotational motion controlled by external magnetic fields swim effectively. The complex rheology of NLCs propels the colloids\, generating translation from rotation. Hybrid colloids generate companion topological defects that form far-from-equilibrium topological flagella that power colloidal swimming. Non-equilibrium disclination lines serve as topological filaments that interact with nematic swimmers\, providing reconfigurable sites for assembly in the domain. Swimming spheres trapped on these filaments act like molecular motors to reconfigure these structures. We are developing fundamental understanding of these transient\, far-from-equilibrium interactions to exploit them as a new class of functional structures that generate new modalities of motion and interaction. Progress in understanding nematic colloid swimming\, topological flagellar propulsion\, swimmer-filament interactions\, and in harnessing these effects to entrain\, transport\, release and deliver diverse colloidal building blocks is described.\n\nSPEAKER BIO:\nKathleen J. Stebe is the Goodwin Professor in the School Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania.  Educated at the City College of New York\, she received a B.A. in Economics and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at the Levich Institute advised by Charles Maldarelli. After a post-doctoral year in Compiegne\, France under the guidance of Dominique Barthes-Biesel\, she joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University\, where she became Professor and served as the department chair. Thereafter\, she joined the University of Pennsylvania\, where she has served in various administrative capacities including department chair and Deputy Dean. She has been recognized by the National Academy of Engineering\, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars\, and as a Fellow of the American Physical Society and of the Radcliffe Institute. Kathleen is active in APS Division of Soft Matter Physics\, and the ACS Division of Colloids and Surfaces\, as well as the AIChE. Her research focuses on directed assembly in soft matter and at fluid interfaces\, with an emphasis on confinement\, geometry\, and emergent structures in far from equilibrium settings for novel functional materials.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Regenerative biology and engineered tissue models
DESCRIPTION:Advances in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine require biomaterials that\ninstruct\, rather than simply permit\, a desired cellular response. A major challenge to progress in\nour field is the complex organization of the tissues in our bodies\, which are hierarchical\, vary in\nspace and time\, and can differ person-to person. Prof. Harley’s research program is developing\nbiomaterials that replicate the complex cellular and extracellular microenvironment found in the\ntissues and organs of our body. These include porous\, hydrogel/granular\, and composite\nbiomaterials for musculoskeletal tissue regeneration\, hematopoietic stem cell biomanufacturing\,\nand as model systems to investigate endometrial pathologies and invasive brain cancer. I will\ndescribe efforts using bioinspired design motifs to create composite biomaterials to regenerate\ncraniomaxillofacial bones and musculoskeletal insertions. I will also describe (granular) hydrogel\nmodels to study niche regulation of hematopoietic stem cells and patient-derived glioblastoma\nspecimens. These tools enable study of dynamic processes such as remodeling and multicellular\nsignaling that inform stem cell quiescence as well as brain cancer invasion and drug resistance.\nHowever\, contemporary tissue engineering efforts must also consider patient heterogeneity\,\ngender/sex\, and social factors. Hence\, I will also describe efforts to account for sex differences in\ntissue engineering models as well as to create hierarchical models of the endometrial tissue\nmicroenvironment to investigate endometriosis. These new paradigms are essential for\naccelerating translation of scientific discoveries into innovations that improve our collective quality\nof life.\n\nBiography\nBrendan Harley is the Robert W. Schaefer Professor in the Dept. of Chemical and Biomolecular\nEngineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as well as Program Leader in the\nCancer Center at Illinois. He received a B.S. in Engineering Sciences from Harvard University\, a\nSc.D. in Mechanical Engineering from MIT\, and performed postdoctoral studies at the Joint\nProgram for Transfusion Medicine at Children’s Hospital Boston.\nHis research group develops tissue engineering technologies for musculoskeletal regeneration\,\nhematopoietic stem cell biomanufacturing\, as well as to investigate endometrial pathologies and\ninvasive brain cancer. He is a decorated instructor and helps lead multiple interdisciplinary\nresearch programs at Illinois. Dr. Harley co-founded a regenerative medicine company\,\nOrthomimetics Ltd.\, to commercialize an osteochondral regeneration technology.\nDr. Harley has received a number of awards and honors including an NSF CAREER award (2013)\,\nthe Young Investigator Award (2014) and the Clemson Award for Basic Research (2021) from the\nSociety for Biomaterials\, as well as university research\, teaching\, and promotion awards (U.\nIllinois). He is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, the\nAmerican Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering\, and the Biomedical Engineering Society.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Inference on Linear Regressions with Two-Way Unobserved Heterogeneity
DESCRIPTION:We develop a novel estimation and inference procedure for the common parameters in linear panel data regression models with nonparametric two-way specification of unobserved heterogeneity. Our procedure builds on three main components: First\, we develop moment conditions for the common parameters that are Neyman orthogonal with respect to nonparametric component to reduce the effect of the first-step estimation of this. Second\, we develop a novel two-step estimator of the nonparametric component\, where the second step assumes that the nonparametric component is well-proxied by eigenfunctions estimated in the first step. Third\, we develop a novel adjustment of the nonparametric estimator so the estimated eigenfunctions do not generate incidental parameter biases. Together\, these ensure that the resulting estimator of the common parameters is root-NT-asymptotically normally distributed thereby allowing for valid inference on the linear parameters in the model using standard methods. A numerical study shows that the proposed estimators perform well in finite samples.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Cellular Mechanisms of Vascular Calcification and Opportunities for Targeted Therapies\n\nAbstract:\nVascular calcification is the major precursor to cardiovascular disease and is further exacerbated by chronic kidney disease. Phosphate is a known precursor to vascular calcification which leads to the onset of CVCs and other complications. Increased serum levels of inorganic phosphate lead to calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells and a phenotypic switch to an osteoblast-like cell. Once thought to be a passive process of calcium and phosphate deposition within arteries\, vascular calcification is now known to be an active\, cell-regulated condition. There is a clinical need to develop a therapy for vascular calcification that reduces calcification without causing arterial damage similar to current therapies such as endovascular stent and atherectomy. We are examining the role of phosphate in vascular smooth muscle cell calcification and the potential of protein therapy to reduce calcification.\n\nBio: \nDr. C. LaShan Simpson Hendrix is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Before joining the faculty at University of Cincinnati in 2024\, she was an Associate Professor at Mississippi State University (2013 – 2023) and she trained as a postdoctoral research associate at Rice University in the Department of Bioengineering. Dr. Hendrix received all her educational training at Clemson University with a B.S. in Biochemistry\, M.S.\, and Ph.D. In Bioengineering. Dr. Hendrix’s research interests include vascular calcification\, smooth muscle cells\, cell and gene therapy\, and mechanotransduction. Her work has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF)\, the National Institutes of Health (NIH)\, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).\n\nIn addition to her passion for vascular research\, Dr. Hendrix is a student advocate and a champion for diversity and inclusion. She has worked to create inclusive spaces for trainee development and success. She has received numerous awards for her efforts including Teacher of the Year\, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Mississippi State University\, 2018\; Academy of Distinguished Teachers\, Bagley College of Engineering at Mississippi State University\, 2019\; and Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion Award\, Mississippi Institute of Higher Learning\, 2020. Her pride and joy are the diversity of her research lab and the outstanding accomplishments of her trainees.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899:  Martijn IJtsma
DESCRIPTION:Designing for effective collaboration between humans and intelligent machines requires reasoning about the human-machine system as a whole—to uncover how their activities are interdependent and to develop system architectures that support coordination for resilient\, joint performance. In dynamic\, high-consequence domains such as aviation\, space operations\, and disaster response\, successful coordination is about synchronizing interdependent work processes of humans and machines with each other and with physical processes in the work environment. Considering work dynamics and synchrony early in design can help ensure that mechanisms for coordination are designed intentionally. However\, while descriptive models of human-machine interaction dynamics exist\, there is a lack of tooling for designers to explore how the dynamic behavior of human-machine systems is affected by early design decisions.\n\nThis talk discusses Work Models that Compute (WMC)\, a computational work modeling framework that helps designers analyze dynamics and synchrony of human-machine systems early in design. By integrating functional modeling\, work analysis\, and graph theory\, WMC makes explicit the relationships between human cognitive functions and machine algorithms\, highlighting critical dependencies and coordination demands.\n\nDr. IJtsmaI will present two case studies\, one in disaster robotics and one in air traffic management\, to illustrate how computational work models can serve as exploratory tools for envisioning and shaping more effective human–machine systems.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: The Science of Failing Well: How to Change Your Thinking to Lead (and Thrive) in an Uncertain World\nAmy C. Edmondson\nThursday\, February 26\, 2026\n3:00 - 4:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required\nIn-Person & Online Options Available\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/8qynj\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nAbout the talk: \nThis session explores a mindset shift that supports effective action in the face of uncertainty. This shift is well captured by the short phrase\, “think like a scientist\,” offered as a deliberate contrast to thinking like a (command-and-control) manager. Classically\, managers supplied answers and plans and evaluated how well others executed on them.  In contrast\, successful leaders of scientific labs offer direction and questions that empower action and help others make sense of data. This is not about being more lenient or laissez-faire\, but rather about a new type of discipline. Their model provides an analog that leaders in any industry today can learn from. In short\, today’s leaders must abandon the discipline of control to embrace the discipline of learning. Key concepts covered include psychological safety\, intelligent failure\, and interpersonal skills for high-quality conversations. \n\nAbout Edmondson:\nAmy C. Edmondson is the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School\, a chair established to support the study of human interactions that lead to the creation of successful enterprises that contribute to the betterment of society. \n\nHer 2019 book\, \"The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning\, Innovation and Growth\,\" has been translated into 15 languages. Edmondson’s latest book\, \"Right Kind of Wrong\,\" builds on her prior work on psychological safety and teaming to provide a framework for thinking about\, discussing\, and practicing the science of failing well. First published in the US and in the UK (Penguin) in September 2023\, the book is due to be translated into 24 additional languages and was selected for the Financial Times and Schroders Best Business Book of the Year award. \n\nHost:\nMonica Worline\, Faculty Director\, Center for Positive Organizations\n\nSeries Sponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks the Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, and the Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurship for their support of the 2025-26 Positive Links Speaker Series. \n\nSeries Promotional Partners:\nAdditionally\, we thank Ann Arbor SPARK\, the Managerial and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the Academy of Management\, and the Organization Development and Change (ODC) Division of the Academy of Management for their Positive Links Speaker Series promotional partnerships.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DE Seminar: Nonuniqueness of solutions to the two-dimensional Euler equations with integrable vorticity
DESCRIPTION:Yudovich established the well-posedness of the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations for solutions with bounded vorticity. DiPerna and Majda proved the existence of weak solutions with vorticity in L^p ( p > 1).  A celebrated open question is whether the uniqueness result can be generalized to solutions with L^p vorticity. In this talk\, we resolve this question in negative for some p > 1. To prove nonuniqueness\, we devise a new convex integration scheme that employs non-periodic\, spatially-anisotropic perturbations\, an idea that was inspired by our recent work on the transport equation. To construct the perturbation\, we introduce a new family of building blocks based on the Lamb-Chaplygin dipole. This is a joint work with Elia Bruè and Maria Colombo.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Why are there so many mushrooms?
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Complex multicellular forms have evolved only a handful of times in the histroy of life\, with multiple origins in Fungi. The greatest diversity of forms is in Agaricomycetes\, a clade of roughly 40\,000 species of gilled mushrooms\, crust and coral fungi\, polypores\, puffballs\, and others. I will present\nresearch on diversification of fruiting body forms in Agaricomycetes\, drawing on phylogenetics and comparative methods\, development\, and paleomycology. I will also discuss ongoing work on the “tiger sawgill”\, Lentinus tigrinus\, which is a semi-aquatic mushroom that displays an intraspecific polymorphism with both gilled (agaricoid) and puffball-like (secotioid) forms. Our work on L. tigrinus addresses the genetic bases and ecological context of a fungal morphological innovation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Historicizing Transness Otherwise: Asia Narratives and Decolonial Thought
DESCRIPTION:This lecture develops transtopia as an unruly concept that emboldens a continuum model of transness\, thereby activating a mode of historical inquiry that dismantles both the transphobic order of the past and the transgender presumption of the present. That is\, it challenges both the assumption that gender nonconforming figures did not exist historically and the idea that the Western category of transgender delivers the best framework for understanding their experience. To unveil and remedy some of the most salient flaws of epistemic convention in historical inquiry\, historical exemplars from the Sinophone Pacific will be analyzed and weighted in decolonial terms.\n\nHoward Chiang holds the Lai Ho & Wu Cho-liu Endowed Chair in Taiwan Studies at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, where he is Professor of East Asian Languages & Cultural Studies\, Director of the Center for Taiwan Studies\, and an affiliated faculty of History and Feminist Studies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"Companions as Clues: Understanding Hot Jupiter Formation\"\n\nHot Jupiters were long thought to be lonely planets. This correctly describes the majority of the population and strongly motivates high-eccentricity tidal migration as the most common method of taking a hot Jupiter to its final short-period orbit. However\, a growing number of systems now reveal nearby planetary companions. In this talk\, I will discuss recent theoretical and observational results exploring the origin and evolution of hot Jupiters\, with a particular focus on those with adjacent companion planets. I show that high-eccentricity tidal migration is generally incompatible with the survival of close-in companions except in very particular scenarios. I further demonstrate that while inner companions are dynamically robust\, outer companions can be driven out of the transiting plane through secular interactions\, stellar evolution\, and stellar obliquity\, potentially explaining their apparent absence in some systems. With this in mind\, I present the discovery and characterization of the TOI-4468 system as a case study\, highlighting how its unique architecture (an outer companion planet\, but no inner companion) constrains its dynamical history. The full observational evidence suggests that while most isolated hot Jupiters likely formed through tidal migration\, systems with nearby companions preferentially assembled in dynamically cold\, disk-mediated ways\, revealing multiple formation pathways for close-in giant planets.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Zwitterionic Interfaces for Implantable Biomaterials
DESCRIPTION:A primary challenge in implantable biomaterials is the host response at the tissue-material interface. Protein adsorption\, immune activation\, and fibrotic encapsulation gradually isolate implants from surrounding tissues and restrict transport\, often leading to failure of both drug-delivery devices and cell therapies. In this talk\, I will describe our work using zwitterionic polymer materials to engineer this interface and how it improves tissue compatibility and functional integration of implanted systems in the subcutaneous space. I will present results showing enhanced durability and performance of both encapsulated islet grafts and insulin-delivery catheters. I will also discuss mechanistic studies on how zwitterionic interfaces influence inflammatory and fibrotic pathways while preserving molecular transport. Finally\, I will briefly introduce zwitterionic formulations developed for anti-adhesion applications.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Carrigan Lecture in Music Theory: Professor Olivia Lucas
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Music Theory hosts a presentation by guest scholar Olivia R. Lucas as part of the Carrigan Lecture Series in Music Theory. Free and open to the public. \n\nABSTRACT\n\nWhat does it mean to love a song that expresses the brutality of intimate partner violence? And further\, what does it mean to analyze such a song—to discover its deep structure? \n\nIn this paper\, I examine the experience of listening to and analyzing the music of the experimental musician Lingua Ignota. Taking her project name from Hildegard von Bingen’s mystical constructed language\, her music explores the intersections of Christianity\, trauma\, and intimate partner abuse. Sonically\, her music traverses deconstructed elements of metal and noise music\, vocal techniques that range from extended screams to classical mezzo-soprano\, and extensively researched references to Catholic\, Pentecostal\, Mennonite\, and Western art musical traditions. The resulting complexly layered musical texts deploy the subjectivity of Christian faith as a metaphor for intimate partner abuse. I trace how the timbral\, textual\, and vocal-expressive layers of Lingua Ignota’s music shape deeply uncomfortable sonic experiences in which a victim’s struggle to make her abuser love her is given the apocalyptic scale of a sinner struggling to avoid eternal hellfire. Building on recent work in critical music theory\, I use these uncomfortable emotional experiences to explore moments when analytical writing seems to fail.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nOLIVIA R. LUCAS is an Associate Professor of Music Theory at Louisiana State University. Her work on metal music has been published in *Music Theory Online*\, *Popular Music*\, *The Journal of Sonic Studies*\, and several edited volumes. Her article “Performing Analysis\, Performing Metal” won the 2023 SMT Emerging Scholar (Article) award. She also co-edited the volume *Teaching Difficult Topics: Reflections from the Undergraduate Music Classroom* (University of Michigan Press\, 2024). In her free time she enjoys dancing with her Mardi Gras Krewe\, the Ogden Park Coven.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Combinatorial Explosion: From Atom-bond Arrangements to Exotic Diseases
DESCRIPTION:Chemical synthesis and data science are increasingly intersecting with some of the most urgent challenges in environmental health and One Health. Molecules and the methods we use to create them are naturally represented as networks\, allowing us not only to streamline drug and natural product discovery\, but also to address broader ecological and public health problems.\n\nIn this seminar\, I’ll share our latest work on automated synthesis and the development of new amine-acid cross-coupling reactions\, as well as how computer-assisted chemistry is illuminating pathways to medicines and natural products with applications ranging from human health to wildlife conservation. We are exploring combinatorially rich reaction space\, where synthetic routes\, reaction conditions\, and bioactivity are deeply interconnected. Our interests span from pharmaceutical innovation to contemporary ecosystem health crises affecting endangered species and disease resistance.\n\nThis approach\, which we call conservation chemistry\, integrates molecular sciences with ecological and public health perspectives. I will present examples from our lab\, including collaborative projects aimed at creating sustainable interventions for threatened ecosystems and species\, illustrating how molecular innovation can benefit researchers and students across the natural and health sciences.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Women in Supply Chain Studies
DESCRIPTION:The Women in Supply Chains (WiSC) Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop (RIW) aims to understand and tackle these issues. As the first of its kind at the University of Michigan\, WiSC will research gender disparities in supply chain scholarship and practice to advance awareness and pursue more equitable outcomes. We seek to bring together an interdisciplinary group to collaborate on topics related to our three research pillars: 1) supply chain discourse and governance\, 2) supply chain gender inequities\, and 3) barriers to equitable supply chain research and practice. Our interdisciplinary approach addresses the intersections of patriarchy\, gender\, power asymmetries\, and economic exploitation in global production networks. Recent industry research shows that progress on gender representation in supply chains has stalled\, demonstrating a need for sustained academic engagement (2024 Women in Supply Chain Survey Report | Gartner). \nResearch questions we plan to explore include:To what extent does supply chain theory and discourse rely on or reinforce patriarchal values? How would feminist theory influence supply chain research?What gender-based inequities and power asymmetries exist in global production networks? How can supply chain stakeholders mitigate these inequities?What barriers do gender-marginalized individuals face as supply chain scholars or practitioners? How can we build community for people who work in supply chains?  \nWe plan to hold monthly events (approx. 1 hour). The first two events will be focused on a welcome gathering followed by lighting talks of members' supply chain research or interests. The next three events will dive into the research related to each of the questions (above) we plan to explore. Then\, our events will focus on knowledge sharing and collaboration via our book club\, supply chain show and tell\, guest speaker event\, and visit to a manufacturing site to see one stage of a global supply chain. We also will attend events on campus (e.g.\, speakers\, lecturers) as they relate to gender and supply chains.

SUMMARY:Performance:Martin Schmeding\, organ
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Organ hosts a recital by guest artist Martin Schmeding. Free and open to the public.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\n“Breathtakingly virtuosic and full of genuine life” (The Organ/GB). “Martin Schmeding’s playing is superlatively good – good enough to allow you to forget there is someone working the instrument” (MusicWeb International)\n \nAs Professor for Organ and Artistic Director of the European Organ Academy at the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig\, MARTIN SCHMEDING holds one of the most prestigious posts in the organists' world. In addition\, he is Guest Professor at the Royal Conservatoire of Music Birmingham and since 2024 Professor of Organ at the Royal College of Music London.\n \nAs a student\, Schmeding won many prizes in major international competitions. For his numerous CD recordings\, among them the complete works of Max Reger\, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Johannes Brahms\, he was awarded the European music prize ECHO Classic as “Soloist of the Year” (2010) and the Prize of the German Record Critics 2009\, 2017 and 2020. In 2017 he was named “Professor of the Year” out of 2500 nominated German university teachers.\n \nBorn in 1975 in Minden\, Westphalia\, Schmeding studied in Hanover\, Amsterdam and Dusseldorf. Through his teachers Ulrich Bremsteller\, Lajos Rovatkay\, Dr. Hans van Nieuwkoop\, Jacques van Oortmerssen and Jean Boyer he is part of the important German organ tradition of Karl Straube\, Guenther Ramin and Helmut Walcha\, as well as of the French tradition and the Dutch historical organ movement.\n \nBetween 1999 and 2004\, Schmeding filled two of the most important posts for church musicians in Germany. In 1999\, he was appointed Music Director at the Neander Church in Dusseldorf. As titular organist at the Kreuzkirche in Dresden\, a place with a more than 700-year-old tradition of church music\, Schmeding worked from 2002 until 2004. After teaching in Hannover\, Leipzig\, Weimar\, and Dresden\, he worked as organ professor at the University of Music in Freiburg from 2004-2015 as the successor of Prof. Zsigmond Szathmáry\, where he was also the chair of the church-music and organ department. \n \nSchmeding is an active recitalist in important venues and in international festivals\, a jury member for international competitions (Bach-Wettbewerb Leipzig\, Bach competition Boston\, Pachelbel Competition Nuremberg\, Silbermann Competition Freiberg\, International Organ Competition St Albans) and publisher of articles and music editions to complete his musical profile.\n \nIn 2021 he finished his PhD in musicology with a dissertation on Wolfgang Rihm’s early and organ works (summa cum laude).

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:Presentation:Joint Deformation and Contact Reasoning for Robotic Manipulation
DESCRIPTION:Co-Chairs: Nima Fazeli and Dmitry Berenson\n\nAbstract:\nCentral to the success of many dexterous manipulation tasks is contact. Humans can intuitively reason about and control contacts to cook\, clean\, push\, build and complete many\, many more tasks. Our goal in designing autonomous robotic manipulators is ultimately to design robotic systems capable of ubiquitous reasoning and control of contact. In this thesis\, we focus on contact-rich manipulation on systems exhibiting elastic deformation\, either in the manipulator or the objects being manipulated. This compliance yields exciting opportunities\, such as robust compliant contact interfaces\, gradual force buildup and dissipation\, and the potential for observability of contact via the deformation. Even with compliance in the system\, contacts are rarely directly observable\, forcing reliance on indirect\, local\, and noisy sensing. Additionally\, the compliance in conjunction with contact introduces high-dimensional states and complex dynamics.\n\nIn this thesis\, we explore methodologies to provide robots a sense of contact. We investigate data-driven methodologies for overcoming the complex\, partially observable nature of contact. In particular\, we look to exploit the tight relationship between deformation and contact\, as elucidated by multi-modal sensory feedback. With our sense of contact in hand\, we then explore downstream reasoning and behaviors in a variety of manipulation settings\, such as tool use\, non-prehensile and prehensile manipulation\, and multi-task visuomotor policies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through August 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Gender Unruliness\, Power\, and Order
DESCRIPTION:How does gender shape power\, knowledge\, and lived experience across imperial and post-imperial worlds? This graduate workshop explores gender not just as a social category but as a critical lens for analyzing colonial power\, resistance\, and postcolonial critique. Inspired in part by Howard Chiang’s concept of transtopia\, which highlights gender transgression across times and cultures\, this workshop challenges Western-centric frameworks and invites broader\, global perspectives on gender variance.\n\nThis workshop brings together scholars to examine how gender constructs and disrupts hierarchies of power\, intersects with race and imperialism\, and reshapes scientific\, cultural\, and political authority.\n\nJoin us for a conversation to reconsider the entanglements of gender\, power\, and order across historical geographies and contexts.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Optimal scalar and vector transport using branching flows
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  We are interested in the design of forcing in the Navier–Stokes equation such that the resultant flow maximizes the heat transfer between two differentially heated walls for a given power supply budget. Previous work established that heat transport cannot scale faster than 1/3-power of the power supply. We present a novel construction of three dimensional \"branching pipe flows\" for which we show the sharpness of the upper bound. After carefully examining these designs\, we extract the underlying physical mechanism that makes the branching flows \"efficient\,\" based on which we present a design of mechanical apparatus that\, in principle\, can achieve the best possible case scenario of heat transfer. In the latter part of the talk\, we extend this approach to transport of a divergence-free vector. We present branching flow designs that achieve a momentum transport scaling (in Reynolds number) that aligns precisely with that of turbulent flow in a channel.\n\nContact:  Ian Tobasco

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | The String Landscape\, precisely
DESCRIPTION:Compactifications of higher dimensional string theories offer perhaps the most promising ``top-down’’ path toward realistic models of our universe. In the way stands the notorious difficulty of computing the 4d effective action beyond tree level\, and a lack of concrete embeddings of Standard Model-like physics with a sufficiently long lived vacuum. In this talk\, after reviewing the current status of such compactifications (the “string landscape”)\, I will present recent and ongoing works aimed at these problems. Concretely\, I will discuss work on string dualities that can be used as a tool to evaluate certain quantum corrections in flux compactifications\, as well as upcoming work featuring new ensembles of top-down Standard Model constructions using type IIB string theory. Finally\, I’ll report on progress in evaluating the classical superpotential in type IIB compactifications on Calabi-Yau orientifolds.\n\nBased on works with Federico Compagnin\, Jim Halverson\, Björn Hassfeld\, and Elijah Sheridan

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Tamara Pico
DESCRIPTION:Although understanding the response of ice sheet to a changing climate is a pressing issue of the century\, our current knowledge of past ice-sheet changes remains limited by data sparsity. Over the last deglaciation\, we understand global sea-level changes quite well\, however\, we know little about which ice sheets contributed meltwater at what times. I explore approaches that leverage non-traditional datasets to constrain past ice sheet and sea-level change over the last glacial cycle. For example\, I revisit two topics of considerable debate: the expansion of the ice-free corridor between the two North American ice sheets and the flooding of the Bering Strait. I show it is possible to use observations of the Bering Strait flooding as sea-level indicators to fingerprint the timing and location of North American saddle deglaciation.\nNext\, I consider the role of ice sheet-solid Earth interactions on the deglaciation of the Ross Sea in West Antarctica. Since the Last Glacial Maximum\, ice streams in the Ross Sea retreated hundreds of kilometers from the shelf break to their modern grounding line positions. I show that glacial isostatic adjustment causes a net retreat of stable grounding line positions from 20 ka to modern\, with some ice streams experiencing up to 1000 km of stable grounding line zone retreat. This finding differs from prior studies that cite glacial isostatic adjustment as a stabilizing mechanism for marine-terminating ice streams\, and underlines that solid Earth-ice sheet feedbacks are a function of both timescale and spatial scale of ice sheet unloading.

SUMMARY:Other:Highlighting Black Voices: Impact as Presence 
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting Black Voices: Impact as Presence is an annual Black History Month event hosted by the Urban Wordsmith Society in collaboration with Phi Eta Psi Fraternity\, Inc. The program creates an intentional space for Black students at the University of Michigan to gather\, reflect\, and celebrate African American leaders\, role models\, and generational curse-breakers whose work leaves a lasting imprint on the world.\nNow in its third year\, Highlighting Black Voices has featured influential speakers across art\, education\, activism\, and technology\, including Mama Sol\, a nationally recognized hip-hop and spoken word artist\; Dr. Umar\, a clinical and school psychologist\, Pan-Afrikanist\, and educator\; and Mykolas Rambus\, CEO and co-founder of Hush\, an AI cybersecurity and privacy company.\nAlongside keynote speakers\, the event uplifts student writers and poets by providing space for spoken word performances and storytelling rooted in lived experience. The mission of the program is not only to honor today’s leaders and mentors\, but also to affirm and nurture the future leaders\, educators\, and generational curse-breakers emerging within the campus community.\nThis year’s theme\, Impact as Presence\, centers on the power of embodiment and storytelling. The event emphasizes the importance of claiming space\, speaking truth\, and showing up fully—reminding Black students that their presence alone carries power\, meaning\, and influence.\n \nThe event will take place on February 27\, 2026\, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM\, at the Michigan Union — Kuenzel Ballroom. Attendees can expect an evening of reflection\, dialogue\, and creative expression designed to leave a lasting impact on both speakers and audience members.

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: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:Presentation:Saturday Morning Physics | Surviving the Death of a Star: Life on Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs
DESCRIPTION:When stars like the Sun die\, they leave behind stellar remnants that we call white dwarfs. Usually\, when we think about life in planetary systems\, we think about it existing on planets orbiting stars like the Sun – but in this talk\, I’ll explore how planets can survive the death of their stars and whether oceans (and potentially life) could exist on planets orbiting around white dwarfs. I’ll explain the physics of tidal heating\, planetary migration\, and how telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope could one day detect signs of life in these unlikely worlds.\n\nWe celebrate the Pulikeshi Dayalu Family Astrophysics Fund on this particular Saturday!\n\nHybrid Lecture and Q&A will be live-streamed on: https://myumi.ch/rA5xG

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:Film Screening:Korean Cinema NOW | FAQ | 막걸리가 알려줄거야
DESCRIPTION:2023 ‧ Comedy ‧ 92min ‧ PG\n   \n   View the trailer at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP-D3T8vnLw\n   \n   FAQ is a charming and inventive coming-of-age story that uses fantasy to satirize the country's grueling private education system. The film centers on Dong-chun\, a stressed 11-year-old elementary student whose life is consumed by endless cram school classes. During a school trip\, Dong-chun discovers a bottle of makgeolli (Korean rice wine) that begins to bubble and ferment strangely. To her amazement\, she realizes the sounds correspond to Morse code and that the rice wine is speaking to her in Persian—a language her mother made her take an after-school class for. This surreal friendship guides Dong-chun on a quest for answers about the absurdities of life and her suffocating schedule. Recognized for its sharp social commentary and imaginative screenplay\, the film won the Best Screenplay Award at the 44th Youngpyeong Award (Korea Film Critics Association).\n   \n   Directed by Kim Da-min\n   Presented in Korean with English subtitles\n   \n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at outreachkorea@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Performance:Amelia Day
DESCRIPTION:\"Gracing Spotify playlists with titles like 'Narnia vibes for reading\,' 'goblin core' and 'sapphic songs for your talking stages\,' Day's music is upfront about what it is: honest and relatable storytelling.\" –Inlander\n\nAmelia Day is a musical jack-of-all-trades. Standing at the intersection of folk\, rock\, and pop\, Day blends heartfelt storytelling\, raw delivery\, and unforgettable melodies into music that feels both fresh and familiar — like rediscovering an old favorite. A self-described writer before anything else\, her perceptive lyricism extends far beyond her 23 years\, with lines reminiscent of songwriting greats like Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon. As the Spokesman-Review notes\, Day has a signature style that features “wordplay\, double-meanings and rhythmic variations\,” with themes ranging from journeying into adulthood to climate change. Many of Day’s songs are also shaped by her intimate relationships\, where her queerness and candor take center stage. \n\nFans often leave Day’s shows on a high\, blown away by her powerhouse vocals (drawing comparisons to Brandi Carlile\, Norah Jones\, Alanis Morissette\, and others)\, and charmed by the joy she exudes while onstage.

SUMMARY:Performance:Peter Mulvey & Jenna Nicholls present Floyd Mercantile
DESCRIPTION:In April 2025\, Peter Mulvey and Jenna Nicholls\, along with guitarist Ross Bellenoit\, traveled to Floyd\, a small mountain town located in the Blue Ridge Highlands of Southwest Virginia\, for five uninterrupted days of recording. What emerged is Floyd Mercantile — a record that feels both intimate and timeless.\n\nThe makeshift studio was a decommissioned general store called (you guessed it!) Floyd Mercantile — a weathered wooden building standing across the road from an open pasture where cows wandered and grazed in the gentle early spring. (One cow even volunteered to be on the album cover.) Inside those old walls\, the trio recorded the album live — no isolation booths\, no heavy overdubbing — just three musicians in a room\, listening closely and letting the songs unfold in real time.\n\nThe sessions were recorded by Jeff Oehler and filmed in their entirety by partner Sue Bibeau and their associate Skylar Locke. Together\, Sue and Jeff comprise Beehive Pro\, an audio\, visual\, and design collective famed for their intimate recordings and thoughtfully considered visuals.\n\nThey captured not just the sound\, but the atmosphere — the wood floors\, the daylight through the dusty windows\, and the creak of the porch boards could all be considered session players on this album.\n\nThe repertoire bridges eras. Mostly comprised of songs Peter and Jenna wrote separately\, there are a few gems from the Great American Songbook: “Skylark\" (Hoagy Carmichael/Johnny Mercer)\, “Them There Eyes\" (Maceo Pinkard/Doris Tauber/William Tracey)\, and “I'll Be Seeing\nYou\" (Sammy Fain/Irving Kahal).\n\n\nThe visual and sonic tones of the project reflect the periods these songs evoke — even the newly composed tracks feel in conversation with another time. The goal was not nostalgia\, but continuity: to stand inside the lineage of American song and add something honest and present to it.\n\nFloyd Mercantile is not just an album. It’s a document of place. Of three musicians in a room. Of songs — old and new — allowed to breathe in the quiet of a Virginia afternoon.

SUMMARY:Performance:Bill Kirchen
DESCRIPTION:Album release party!\n\nBill apparently got off his butt and recorded a bunch of new songs. Given that Ann Arbor is his ancestral home\, and the very place he and some like-minded souls formed Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen\, Bill has promised not to wear you out with too much inscrutable new material. He has assured us that he’ll also bring some reminiscences with a good selection of songs from his checkered past. And as we've never been able to get him out of here without him launching into a few Dylan songs\, we’ll be on guard for that as well. What else? Oh yes\, he did say he had some home town Stories That Can Finally Be Told\, but offered no assurances that he will remember them. He also said\, tell ‘em I’m bringing my Texas band Rick Richards and Jack Saunders for the full Honky-Tonk Rock’n'Roll  experience\, and that I’m quite a bit jollier than that picture would indicate. \n\nGrammy nominated guitarist\, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step on any stage\, play those trademark licks which drove the seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten nationwide\, and elicit instant recognition. Named a “Titan of the Telecaster” by Guitar Player Magazine\, he celebrates a musical tradition that embraces rock ‘n’ roll\, blues and bluegrass\, Texas Western swing and California honkytonk. Nick Lowe describes Bill as “... a devastating culmination of the elegant and funky… a really sensational musician\, with enormous depth.” Justly famous for his indelible Telecaster sound\, Bill Kirchen has been everywhere over the span of a 50-plus-year career: he was a founding member of the legendary Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen\; he released a dozen critically acclaimed solo albums\; he toured internationally with Nick Lowe and has performed or recorded with Doug Sahm\, Gene Vincent\, Elvis Costello\, Dan Hicks\, Emmylou Harris\, Linda Ronstadt \,Bruce Hornsby and Link Wray.

SUMMARY:Performance:West Texas Exiles
DESCRIPTION:“While the band tends to describe its sound as Southwestern rock ’n’ roll\, you’ll also hear influences of Tejano and Conjunto\, the Pogues\, the British Invasion\, and even New Age — capturing the breadth of music in the Lone Star State.” \n–Texas Music\n\nFeaturing five musicians who grew up in El Paso\, Lubbock and Amarillo\, the West Texas Exiles draw upon the wide-open western reaches of the Lone Star State with a wide-ranging\, Americana-centered sound. Rising from the embers of the Dirty River Boys\, which Marco Gutierrez co-founded in 2009\, the Austin band features a triple-threat of songwriters in Gutierrez\, Daniel Davis and Colin Gilmore (son of legendary Texas troubadour Jimmie Dale Gilmore)\, plus seasoned bassist Eric Harrison and latter-day Dirty River Boys drummer Trinidad Leal. The Exiles' 2023 debut EP paved the way for their first full-length album\, 8000 Days\, due out later this year. The recordings build upon the live chops the group has honed through a weekly residency at Austin’s legendary Continental Club plus gigs at key local events such as SXSW and Willie Nelson’s Luck Reunion\, as well as high-profile touring appearances at Nashville’s Americanafest\, Braun Brothers Reunion and San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival.
