SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

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:Performance:An Evening With Alejandro Escovedo
DESCRIPTION:New music!\n\nAlejandro Escovedo's New Album ECHO DANCING is an Adventure in Life. No one has really ever been able to define themselves and their music like singer-songwriter Alejandro Escovedo does. His life in music of all kinds sometimes feels like a swirl through the sky\, where his songs point out all the majesty and mystery of how he sees the world. The sounds he makes take him places that he might not even predict\, but once there\, greatness always follows.\n\nEcho Dancing is an experiment in how to use the past to shape the future. By recording completely new and repurposed versions of songs from his past\, Escovedo actually gets a chance to rewrite his own history. It's also an idea that pushes growth into the present\, and asks an artist to see themselves anew. \n\n\"I always feel that a well-written song can withstand a lot of abuse\,\" Escovedo says. It is an area of creativity that the man has always honored. \"Turning a past song inside out leads to discovery of new ideas you might not have understood about the song\,\" he says. \"Even lyrical refurbishing has proven helpful and effective. It's like interpreting your own work anew. The songs never seem to be complete. They are always evolving.\"\n\nEcho Dancing makes sure Alejandro Escovedo's evolving circle remains unbroken.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

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:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Human Genetics Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 9\, 2026\n11:00am - 12:00pm\n1020 Kahn Auditorium\, BSRB\n\nDanesh Moazed\, PhD\nProfessor and HHMI Investigator in the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School\n“Seminar Title TBD”\n\nHosted By: Sue Hammoud\, PhD\, Department of Human Genetics\n\n__\n\nDanesh Moazed\, Ph.D.\, is a Professor and HHMI Investigator in the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School.  He is a member of the Harvard Biophysics Program and the Harvard Initiative for RNA Medicine (HIRM). He received his undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California in Santa Cruz and performed postdoctoral studies at the University of California in San Francisco.\n\nThe Moazed lab studies how genes are silenced and how silencing is epigenetically inherited across generations.  The lab’s interests revolve around diverse pathways of heterochromatin-mediated gene silencing in yeast and mammalian cells.  Work in budding yeast focuses on the structure and function of a diverged and relatively simple form of heterochromatin\, which requires only three Silent information regulator (“Sir”) proteins that form a histone deacetylase and chromatin-binding complex.  Work in fission yeast focuses on a conserved example of heterochromatin that requires the nuclear RNA interference (RNAi) machinery\, other RNA processing pathways\, Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) homologs\, and histone-modifying enzymes.  In mammalian cells\, the work is focused on HP1-mediated and other heterochromatin formation pathways.  The lab uses approaches ranging from genetics and genomics\, biochemical purification and reconstitution\, and structural biology for their studies.  Ultimately\, the lab seeks to understand the conserved fundamental principles that govern the assembly\, function\, and epigenetic propagation of heterochromatin.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | A frequentist view on cosmological neutrinos and dark-energy constraints
DESCRIPTION:The DESI galaxy survey has recently placed the tightest constraint on the sum of neutrino masses to date. For such effects “below the detection limit”\, where data can only infer upper bounds\, Bayesian and frequentist methods can give important complimentary information. I will begin with an overview of the frequentist profile-likelihood method\, its advantages and limitations. Using a frequentist and Bayesian toolbox\, I will discuss neutrino mass constraints from Planck and DESI data. In particular\, I will focus on the impact of different assumptions about the neutrino mass hierarchy on the inferred mass bounds. Further\, I will compare Bayesian and frequentist constraints on evolving dark energy from recent cosmological data.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Intersections of AI\, Photonics\, and Scientific Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Artificial intelligence is beginning to transform the way we do science and engineering—not only by analyzing data\, but increasingly by generating hypotheses\, designing experiments\, and even running them. Photonics plays a dual role in this story: it provides some of the most promising physical platforms for AI hardware\, while also serving as a rich testbed for applying AI itself. I will discuss how conventional “black box” AI and more interpretable approaches can both uncover structure in complex systems\, and how large language models point toward a future where significant parts of scientific discovery may be automated. I will also highlight how robotics\, combined with AI\, is moving us closer to self-driving laboratories. While my examples will often come from photonics\, the broader message is that these developments foreshadow a profound shift in how science is practiced across disciplines.\n\nBio: Marin Soljačić is a Professor of Physics at MIT.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar> Microenvironmental sensing by intestinal stem cells promotes adult Drosophila intestinal regeneration
DESCRIPTION:A failure to properly maintain or regenerate an epithelium results in the loss of its integrity\, architecture and function\, and thus also organismal homeostasis. In many adult epithelia\, stem cells divide to replace damaged or lost tissue cell types. Stem cells are coaxed to proliferate by signalling cues produced by cells in the regenerative microenvironment that forms shortly after injury. Cells within this microenvironment can include other epithelial cells as well as other cell types and tissues associated with the organ. While much is known about how signalling cues from the regenerative microenvironment promotes stem cell proliferation in several adult epithelia\, we know less about how stem cells sense damage or even damage-causing pathogens and how they translate this information to modify their behaviour for regeneration. Furthermore\, even less is understood about how stem cells modulate their microenvironment after tissue damage to support regeneration. \n\nUsing the adult Drosophila intestine (or midgut)\, we have uncovered mechanisms that allow intestinal stem cells (ISCs) to recognise tissue damage as well as invading pathogens and translate this into their proliferation for regeneration. Moreover\, we have found that after damage\, these same ISC pathways can shape the regenerative microenvironment.\n\nHost: Laura Buttitta

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Perturbation of mixed characteristics test ideal
DESCRIPTION:Given a normal domain R of finite type over a mixed characteristic complete DVR or a perfect field of characteristic p\, one can define the notion of a test ideal. In equal characteristic p\, it is well known that test ideals are stable under small perturbations. The proof of this fact boils down to a fundamental result in Smith's thesis on tight closure\, which states that there are no nonzero almost zero elements in the top local cohomology of R^+.In this talk\, I will explain how to extend this result to the mixed characteristic setting\, along with its applications to mixed characteristic test ideals. Time permitting\, I will also outline the key ideas behind the proof. This is joint work in progress with Bhargav Bhatt and Linquan Ma.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:An introduction to Dirac geometry and reduction schemes for concurrent Dirac structures.
DESCRIPTION:I will provide first a gentle introduction to Dirac geometry\, which is a way to unify pre-symplectic and Poisson geometry\, as well as turning possibly singular Poisson structures into a perfectly smooth object. \n\nAfter this\, I will consider a particular situation of transferring Dirac structures which is the following:\ngiven an embedded submanifold X of a Dirac manifold (M\, L_M) and given p: X -> Y a smooth surjective submersion\, we want to derive the minimal set of conditions to transfer the Dirac structure L_M on M to a Dirac structure L_Y on Y. These conditions are however not compatible with concurrence\, which is a generalization for Dirac structures of the notion of commuting Poisson pairs. \n\nThen I will characterize a geometric structure\, more precisely a vector bundle E\subset TM|_X that is a \emph{witness} for concurrence: it allows to transfer weakly concurrent Dirac structures on M to weakly concurrent Dirac structures on Y. We show that the Marsden-Ratiu reduction in Poisson geometry is exactly a special case of this construction. Furthermore\, in the presence of a Hamiltonian action of a Lie group G on L_M\, there is a natural candidate for a witness E. \n\nThe main results carry over to the case of complex Dirac structures. This allows us to give an extension of the bi-Hamiltonian reduction of Casati\, Magri e Pedroni in terms of our framework and provide a (conjectural) interpretation of it in terms of complex Dirac structures. \n\nThis talk is based on a joint work with Dan Aguero\, Pedro Frejlich and Igor Mencattini.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Explaining the Historical Rise and Recent Decline in Social Security Disability Insurance Enrollment (joint with Maxwell Kellogg\, Magne Mogstad\, and Kuan-Ju Tseng)
DESCRIPTION:After substantial growth in the 1990s and 2000s\, enrollment in the U.S. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program has been declining since 2013. We use detailed administrative data to quantify the contributions of various factors to trends in SSDI enrollment\, focusing especially on the decline in the 2010s. A statistical decomposition suggests that the vast majority of the decline in SSDI enrollment since 2013 is attributable to declines in application rates -- and\, to a lesser extent\, award rates -- within demographic groups. There is very little contribution from changes over time in demographic characteristics\, eligibility\, or exit from SSDI. The decline in SSDI enrollment rates is disproportionately driven by older low-to-middle-skilled men with relatively severe health conditions who\, over time\, have become less likely to apply for SSDI and more likely to work. Consistent with this descriptive evidence\, we present results from a causal analysis suggesting that improved labor market opportunity for less-skilled workers is a key explanation of the decline in SSDI enrollment. We also investigate several other popular hypotheses for the decline in SSDI applications\, including lower award rates at the appeals level\, and find evidence at odds with them.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Eigenvarieties over CM fields and Galois representations
DESCRIPTION:Eigenvarieties are parameter spaces for certain p-adic automorphic forms of varying weight. These objects have become increasingly popular for studying the Fontaine—Mazur conjecture\, which leads us to ask what kinds of Galois representations appear on eigenvarieties. Our main result shows that for eigenvarieties for the group GL_n over a CM field\, the associated Galois representations are trianguline at all p-adic places\, resolving a conjecture of Hansen (following Kisin\, Colmez\, Bellaiche—Chenevier). The strategy of proof (which could be of independent interest) is to embed eigenvarieties for GL_n into an eigenvariety for a 2n-variable unitary group.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg Lecture with Xiaoyang Zhu \"Exciton Sensing of Correlated Electrons\, Spins\, and Dipoles\"
DESCRIPTION:Correlation plays a central role in emergent phenomena\, such as quantum ground states and collective excitations. Here\, I will discuss what we can learn from time-domain sensing of correlation in two dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) semiconductors\, where excitonic transitions are intimately related to bandgap modulation\, effectively dielectric constant\, and Pauli repulsion. In the 2D vdW magnetic semiconductor\, CrSBr\, excitonic transition is found to strongly couple to magnetic order and this allows the easy detection of low energy (GHz-THz) magnons by visible-NIR light. In the 2D vdW magnetic semiconductor\, NbOI2\, we report the experimental discovery of a quasi-particle\, the ferron\, which may form the basis for new modes of information processing and control. In twisted bilayer MoTe2\, we demonstrate exciton sensing as hitherto the most sensitive probe of electron correlation in moiré quantum matter\, including signatures for a coveted quantum phase - the fractional topological insulator.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student combinatorics seminar: Standard Monomials for the Grassmannian
DESCRIPTION:Given a subvariety of the Grassmannian\, a standard monomial is a monomial which does not lie in the associated initial ideal. This simple definition has proved a powerful tool for proving certain algebro-geometric properties of the subvariety. In this talk\, we'll first consider the standard monomials for the Grassmannian. We'll then look at recent work by Almousa\, Gao\, and Huang which gives a description of the standard monomials for a positroid variety in terms of a special type of semistandard tableaux. \n\nThis talk is based on the delightful paper Standard Monomials for Positroid Varieties by Almousa\, Gao\, and Huang from 2024.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2026 Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Professor Edward Watts\, the Alkiviadis Vassiliadis Endowed Chair and Distinguished Professor of History at UC San Diego\, received his BA in Classics from Brown University in 1997 and his PhD in History from Yale University in 2002. His research centers on the intellectual\, political\, and religious history of the Roman Empire and the early Byzantine Empire. He is the author of seven books and the editor of five more\, including The Final Pagan Generation (UC Press\, 2015)\,  Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher\, (Oxford University Press\, 2017)\, Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell into Tyranny (Basic Books\, 2018)\, and The Eternal Decline and Fall of Rome: The History of a Dangerous Idea (Oxford University Press\, 2021). His most recent book\, The Romans: A 2000 Year History (Basic Books\, 2025)\, traces the history of the Roman state from the 8th century BC through 1204 AD. His work has also been featured in Time\, Vox\, Smithsonian\, the Economist\, the Wall Street Journal\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, British Museum Magazine\, and the New York Times. Before coming to UCSD in 2012\, Professor Watts taught for ten years at Indiana University. He teaches courses on Byzantine History\, Roman History\, Late Antique Christianity\, Roman numismatics\, and the history of the Medieval Mediterranean. \n\nThe Roman citizen body lived an almost inconceivably long life. Between the 8th century BC and the 15thcentury AD\, nearly 100 generations of Romans superintended a political legacy they had inherited from their ancestors and handed down to their children. Nearly every element of Roman life changed during those two millennia. The state expanded from a hilltop settlement into a massive empire. Its center moved from Italy to Constantinople. Its dominant language changed from Latin to Greek. Its weaponry evolved from iron swords and bronze spears to Greek fire and gunpowder. It incorporated countless new gods before ultimately becoming Christian. And yet the thread linking the Roman present to its past never snapped. For all of their history\, Romans used this past to help understand their world and determine the contours of its future. Tradition served as a governor on the pace of necessary change.\n\nThis Thomas Spencer Jerome lecture series introduces the idea of Roman interchronological history to explain how Romans found and maintained this balance between innovation and tradition. Interchronological history recognizes that Roman scholastic\, social\, familial\, and religious traditions created situations in which Romans in the present spoke the words and felt the feelings of figures from the real or imagined past. These ancient situations encouraged people to connect personally and emotionally with figures from the past and made it natural to see in the past a set of frameworks that allowed one to both understand the present and imagine possible futures that might result from it. \n\nThese lectures explain how Roman educational\, family\, religious\, and literary culture produced this way of interpreting the present and imagining the future through deep engagement with the past. They will then show how an interchronological approach to Roman history expands our understanding of everything from the political power of Roman women to the nature of Iconoclasm and the surprising durability of the Roman bond market. By their conclusion\, the lectures will point to new ways to answer questions about the Roman past and suggest non-Roman contexts in which this historical method can also be applied.\n \nProfessor Watts will present four lectures and one seminar between March 9 and 19\, 2026: \n\n• What is Interchronological Roman History? Monday\, March 9\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League\nThis lecture reconstructs an interchronological historical method based on how Romans were educated and socialized to connect with the words\, experiences\, and feelings of people in their shared past in a fashion that ensured their reactions in the moment and plans for the future remained connected to the traditions of the past.\n\n• Interchronological History and the Political Power of Roman Women\, Thursday\, March 12\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League\nUsing an interchronological approach\, this lecture shows how literature\, public commemorations\, and monuments encouraged Romans of both genders to recognize the political power of Roman women by speaking the words of female political exemplars\, feeling their emotions\, and understanding the circumstances surrounding their political interventions.  \n\n• Classical Studies Graduate Student Seminar: Containerization and the Creation of Interchronological Spaces in Imperial Rome\, Friday\, March 13\, 12:00 pm \nThis seminar will look at how the creators and sponsors of a series of monuments in Rome curated space to generate an experience that joined the present in which the monument was unveiled with elements of the past to define a transition to a promised future. Using the theory of artistic containerization\, we will see how each space was designed to showcase elements of the Roman past in a way that channeled specific themes important to both the present identity of the monument’s sponsor and a future they were promising to deliver.\n\n• An Interchronological Approach to Roman Religion and Political History  Monday\, March 16\, 5\;30 pm\, Vandenberg Room\, Michigan League\nThis lecture explains how an interchronological history of Roman religion and politics can help us understand why this basic understanding of the role of the divine in shaping the tangible realities of Roman life persisted as Roman religion evolved from the practices of a small pagan city state into those of a large Christian empire.\n\n• The Failures of Justin II and the Case for Interchronological Roman Macroeconomic History\, Thursday\, March 19\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League \nThis uses an interchronological comparative framework to reconstruct the institutional history of Roman finance and macroeconomics in order to explain how the sixth century emperor Justin II inadvertently crippled Rome's nearly 800-year-old financial system.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Exploring the Mind | Improving the Science of Making Decisions: From Classic Theories to AI
DESCRIPTION:Decision science builds models to understand how people make choices\, from personal ones to economics and beyond. Classic models assume people pick the option with the best payoff\, after weighing outcomes by their probabilities\, yet the choices they make often break that clear-cut rule. In this talk\, I discuss how psychology explains some of the differences: for example\, telling why losses sting more than gains and why tiny chances loom larger than the probabilities suggest. Today\, AI lets us move beyond simple models to map out people’s preferences and design better options. I describe the modern drive toward these advances.\n\nAbout the speaker: Richard Gonzalez is the Amos N. Tversky Collegiate Professor of Psychology and Statistics at the University of Michigan and Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research. He received his PhD in Psychology from Stanford University. Dr. Gonzalez’s research program focuses on modeling how people make decisions across a variety of domains. He has been at the University of Michigan since 1997.

SUMMARY:Performance:Albert Lee
DESCRIPTION:\"The greatest guitarist in the world\" –Eric Clapton\n\nBritish guitar legend Albert Lee\, regarded by many as one of the world's finest guitar players\, with a career spanning more than 50 years\, needs no introduction for country\, blues and rock fans. Widely hailed for his fingerstyle and hybrid picking technique\, Albert Lee helped to redefine country guitar for a whole generation of players with his song \"Country Boy.\" Albert's many career highlights include two Grammy wins\, five years in the Eric Clapton band (at Clapton's request Albert played the Crossroads Festival with Eric at Madison Square Garden) and stints with the Rolling Stones' Bill Wyman\, The Crickets\, the Everly Brothers\, Joe Cocker\, Emmylou Harris\, Rodney Crowell and many more. Take it from Emmylou\, who says\, \"When Saint Peter asks me to chronicle my time down here on earth\, I'll be able to say—with pride if that's allowed—that for a while I played rhythm guitar in a band with Albert Lee.\" \n\nRecorded at the legendary Konk Studios in London in March 2023\, Albert’s latest album Lay It Down is a love letter to some of his favourite artists and biggest inspirations. From Mark Knopfler's blistering Setting Me Up to Jimmy Webb's soaring piano ballad Too Young To Die\, to The Everly Brothers' storming hit The Price Of Love\, Lay It Down sees Albert’s triumphant return to the studio\, recording live\, as one of the greatest guitarists ever.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

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:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Kinship Interlocks: How the Intimate Exchange of Wealth\, Status\, and Power Generates Upper-Class Persistence
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host Shay O'Brien\, James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Center Postdoctoral Associate at the Stone Center on Inequality and Shaping the Future of Work. Shay will present\, “Kinship Interlocks: How the Intimate Exchange of Wealth\, Status\, and Power Generates Upper-Class Persistence.”\n\nTuesday\, March 10\n10:30 a.m.–12:00 noon\nISR 1430 BD (426 Thompson St.) \nAbstract: “How do some families manage to entrench themselves in the upper class for many generations while others do not? Bringing together economic sociology\, political sociology\, and stratification\, I propose a new concept for the study of multigenerational persistence at the top of a stratified society: kinship interlocks. Kinship interlocks are portions of a kinship network that closely combine great wealth\, status\, and power. Just as board interlocks connect corporate elites through overlapping board memberships\, kinship interlocks connect economic\, social\, and political elites through family ties. Using a mixed-methods analysis\, I find that the intimate exchange of resources in kinship interlocks generates upper-class persistence via two primary mechanisms: it protects kin from economic\, legal\, and social risk\, and it propels kin into higher strata. Processes of kin formation and intimate exchange are co-constitutive with systems of gender\, sexuality\, and race\, such that the most durable portions of an upper class are especially heteronormative and racially dominant. The analysis is based on a unique dataset consisting of the full upper class and all economic\, political\, and social elites in the first 125 years of Dallas history\, along with all mutual family ties.”\n\nAn economic and historical sociologist broadly focused on inequality\, Shay studies the kinship networks that weave elites together. Her mixed-methods research tracks the capture and circulation of resources through upper-class populations over time\, with a particular focus on women\, whiteness\, and wealth. Formerly\, she was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Stone Program in Wealth Distribution\, Inequality\, and Social Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. She received her PhD in Sociology from Princeton University and her BA in Anthropology from Brown University. Learn more.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Andrés Felipe Gonzalez Duran Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:The American Cordillera hosts some of the world's most significant accumulations of copper\, gold\, and emeralds. However\, the genetic relationship between different mineral deposit styles—specifically the transition between porphyry and iron oxide-apatite (IOA) or iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) systems—and the precise timing of mineralization in complex sedimentary basins remain poorly understood. This dissertation utilizes high-resolution mineral chemistry and in-situ petrochronology to  decode the thermal\, chemical\, and temporal evolution of these world-class mineral systems. The research first investigates the transition between IOA and porphyry-style mineralization at the New Afton Cu-Au mine\, British Columbia. By characterizing the trace element chemistry and textures of magnetite (Fe3O4)\, I demonstrate that magnetite is a dynamic recorder of overprinting hydrothermal events. The identification of widespread coupled dissolution reprecipitation (CDR) textures reveals that primary magmatic signatures are frequently modified by later fluid pulses\, challenging traditional classification schemes and providing new textural criteria for exploration vectoring. The focus then shifts to the Eastern Cordillera basin of Colombia to resolve the long-standing debate regarding the timing of emerald mineralization. Through in-situ U-Pb dating of hydrothermal monazite and xenotime\, I established the first direct\, high-resolution age framework for emerald formation in both the Eastern and Western zones. The results link mineralization to episodic tectonic pulses during the Cretaceous and Paleogene\, representing a paradigm shift from single-event genetic models to a more complex\, time-transgressive mineralizing system. Finally\, the study integrates multi-mineral analysis at the Llahuín Cu-Au-Mo deposit in Chile. By combining Random Forest Classification (RFC) of magnetite chemistry with titanite and rutile petrochronology\, I reconstruct the transition between porphyry and IOCG-style features. The data suggest that these systems can form simultaneously within structural transition zones\, governed by the magmatic sulfur budget and localized tectonic shifting. Together\, this body of work demonstrates that the integration of micro-textural analysis with advanced mineral chemistry and petrochronology is essential for unraveling the complexity of Cordilleran metallogeny. The findings provide robust tools for mineral exploration and advance our fundamental understanding of how the Earth’s crust concentrates metals and gemstones throughout tectonic cycles.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:End of Apartheid\, Not of Inequality: the Slow Transition in a Segregated Economy.
DESCRIPTION:Despite the formal end of Apartheid in 1994\, South Africa remains one of the most unequal countries in the world. This paper investigates the mechanisms behind this persistence of inequality by developing a spatial dynastic model with heterogeneous agents\, incomplete markets\, and endogenous choices over education\, occupation\, savings\, and location. Drawing on newly assembled micro-geographic data\, we document a shift in inequality from being primarily across races to increasingly within the Black population\, with spatial segregation — especially the legacy of Townships — playing a key role. Our model\, disciplined by detailed spatial and socioeconomic data\, captures the slow intergenerational convergence in education and occupational outcomes observed in post-Apartheid South Africa. It shows how inherited spatial disadvantages — through high commuting costs\, disparities in school quality\, and limited access to credit — continue to shape households’ educational\, occupational\, and locational choices\, reinforcing inequality long after formal legal barriers have been removed. Quantitatively\, we find that removing persistent spatial distortions in Townships accelerates the transition to a race-blind equilibrium by 40% and reduces income inequality by 10%.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series: Investigating RNA viruses in phyllostomid bat communities across fragmented landscapes in Brazil’s deforestation frontier
DESCRIPTION:Description: Habitat fragmentation\, the division of a continuous habitat into smaller patches\, may impact the dynamics of the emergence and persistence of pathogens. As reservoir hosts for many emerging pathogens\, bats are uniquely vulnerable to the consequences of habitat fragmentation. My dissertation proposal examines RNA virus dynamics in phyllostomid bat communities across Brazil’s deforestation frontier\, the ecotonal region between the Amazon rainforest and Cerrado savanna. Specifically\, I aim to longitudinally investigate how habitat fragmentation influences phyllostomid bat RNA virus dynamics\, species richness\, population connectivity\, and diet.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Environmental Humanities Workshop
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss new writing by Liz Roberts. Professor Roberts is a professor of anthropology at UM\, who investigates scientific and public health knowledge production and its embodied effects in Latin America and the United States. Her forthcoming book is \"In Praise of Addiction: Or How We Can Learn to Love Dependency in a Damaged World.\"\n\n\"In Praise of Addiction\" takes an ecological approach to its subject. Through her field work in Mexico City and profoundly humanizing insights into her own family’s relationship with addiction\, Roberts makes a fascinating case for distinguishing between the isolation of vice and dependencies that connect us in pleasurable ways. We hope you will join us to read and celebrate Liz’s new work. \n\nPlease register to receive a copy of Liz’s writing before the discussion and come ready to share your questions and ideas!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Radical Care: Stories of Women Leaders in Corrections
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:\nWomen’s ascension into corrections leadership parallels the unprecedented expansion of the U.S. prison-industrial complex. Yet\, as women’s labor contributes to the growth of carceral systems\, leaders strive to be changemakers\, spearheading reforms and humanizing geographies. Weaving together composite narratives drawn from in-depth interviews\, this talk situates the work of women leaders as a practice of radical care\, exploring the potential and challenge of making meaningful change within harsh and unyielding institutions and systems.  \n\n*Francine Banner is a 2025-26 Norman Freehling Visiting Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Professor of Behavioral Sciences\, U-M Dearborn.*

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Segment-and-Rule: Modern Censorship in Authoritarian Regimes.
DESCRIPTION:We analyze the incentives of authoritarian regimes to segment access to censored content through technology. Citizens choose whether to pay to access censored online content at a cost fixed by the regime: the firewall. A low firewall segments access and generates more compliance than full censorship – a high firewall – ever could. Regime opponents self-select into consuming censored content\, and comply conditional on positive independent reporting. Regime supporters exclusively consume state propaganda\, which secures their compliance. This segment-and-rule strategy can be engineered by making local news outlets uninformative\, or by affecting the intrinsic benefit from access.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Spin Radical Molecular Semiconductors
DESCRIPTION:Carbon based semiconducting molecular materials now support a wide range of practical technologies\, particularly as organic LEDs\, OLEDs\, used in smartphone and TV displays.  The electronic processes that govern their semiconducting properties are strongly controlled by their low dielectric screening\, so that excited states\, excitons\, are often spatially localised and generally show strong magnetic exchange interactions.  The exchange interaction presents a challenge for the engineering of efficient OLEDs. Only 25% of electron-hole capture events in the OLED produce emissive spin singlet excitons\, and 75% capture events form spin triplet excitons that are not emissive.  A number of engineering approaches have been developed to overcome this challenge\, including the use of organo-metallic emitters that can show efficient phosphorescence. \n\nWe have been working with spin-radical molecules that show high luminescence yield within the spin doublet manifold\, and can be designed so that this ‘bright’ doublet exciton lies lower in energy than ‘dark’ higher spin states.  These enable efficient OLED operation in the red and near-IR\, and can be engineered to show high luminescence yield.\n\nWhen coupled together\, either intermolecularly or intramolecularly these spin radical systems show properties of Mott-Hubbard spin systems\, where the lowest energy electronic excitation is a charge transfer between antiferromagnetically arranged neighbouring radical sites at the cost of the Hubbard U.  This process is radiatively allowed and enables optical write and read of spin.  We are exploring how these excited states can be used to assist charge photogeneration in the absence of a donor-acceptor heterojunction\, and to engineer spin-optical interfaces that allow easy magnetic field control of luminescence.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nRichard Friend is at the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge. His research encompasses the physics\, materials science and engineering of semiconductor devices made with carbon-based semiconductors\, particularly polymers. His research advances have shown that carbon-based semiconductors have significant applications in LEDs\, solar cells\, lasers\, and electronics. He explores novel schemes that seek to improve the performance of LEDs and solar cells\, using carbon-based semiconductors. His current projects include materials with unpaired electron spins that show novel couplings of spin with luminescence.\n\nProfessor Friend is a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Royal Academy of Engineering\, and a Foreign Member of the US National Academy of Engineering. He has received many international awards for his research\, including Laureate of the Millennium Prize for Technology (2010) the Harvey Prize (2011) of the Israel Institute of Technology\, the von Hippel Award of the Materials Research Society (2015) and the Isaac Newton Prize of the Institute of Physics (2024). He was knighted for “Services to Physics” in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List\, 2003.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: From face numbers to Frobenius
DESCRIPTION:In 1971\, McMullen conjectured a characterization of the face numbers of convex simplicial polytopes. This conjecture\, dubbed the “g-conjecture”\, was resolved over the following ten years by work of Stanley and Billera–Lee. The extension of this conjecture to simplicial spheres remained open much longer. We will discuss the ingenious characteristic 2 proof given by Papadakis–Petrotou in 2020 and provide a unifying framework for it in commutative algebra. This is joint work in progress with Adiprasito\, Papadakis\, Petrotou\, and Oba.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DISCO Network Presents - Against Surveillance & Spectacle: Building Global Resistance to Tech-Mediated Oppression
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be in community? This panel brings together activists\, scholars\, and writers to explore connections between critical social issues—health justice\, discrimination\, technofascism\, and surveillance—and the possibilities of grassroots response. Panelists will discuss tensions between collectivizing and collaborating: How do we negotiate care when our access to care hinges on being identified and enumerated by the state? What tactics for resistance might we use in digital communities that are subject to increased surveillance? How can we be there for and with each other?\n\nThis event is open to the public\, and we encourage all interested faculty\, graduate students\, and undergraduate students to attend. \n\nSandwiches from Potbelly will be provided to the first 100 attendees.\n\nA corresponding opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to enjoy a networking lunch with the panelists will be available. Interested students may register for this session using the same form as the main event.\n\nAdvance registration is recommended:\n\nRegister to attend in-person: https://myumi.ch/5kG6V\nRegister to attend on Zoom: https://myumi.ch/g3bqG \n\nMeet the Panelists\n\nVictoria Copeland is a disabled organizer and researcher based at the UCLA Center for Resilience and Digital Justice. She is interested in abolitionist approaches to addressing harm\, specifically that which is mediated by data and technology. Their research is often conducted in collaboration with grassroots organizations and explores the various ways that state violence permeates through our relationships with institutions\, ourselves\, and each other and how we can resist it. Victoria received her Ph.D and Masters in Social Welfare\, and was formerly a Senior Policy Analyst focused on technology and social policy.\n\nMegan Fereday is a nonbinary\, multiply-neurodivergent PhD student based at the University of Southampton. Their PhD project (funded AHRC) investigates the role of social media platforms in young people’s queer-neurodivergent resistance practices\, and explores the possibilities and potentials of digital neuroqueering among younger users. Megan is a member of the Narratives of Neurodiversity Network and the Queer Medical Humanities Network\, and is currently enrolled in the Neurodivergent Humanities Network’s mentorship scheme. Megan’s work has been recently published in the Journal of Cultural Analysis and Social Change.  \n\nKim Fernandes is an Assistant Professor of Sociocultural Anthropology at Brown University. They hold a joint PhD (with distinction) in Anthropology and Education from the University of Pennsylvania\, and recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Information. Kim's ethnographic and historical research addresses questions of how the body is shaped through interactions with data and technology\, focusing particularly on the enumeration and identification of disability. Their work has been funded by the Social Science Research Council and the Taraknath Das Foundation. Kim is the Managing Editor of Platypus\, an interdisciplinary science studies blog. They are also an affiliate at Data & Society and the Center for Information\, Technology and Public Life.\n\nWells Lucas Santo (he/she/they) is a queer\, non-binary\, and disabled Indonesian and Taiwanese American PhD student at the University of Michigan School of Information focusing on critical race and algorithmic justice\, in particular on how algorithmic technologies disparately impact marginalized communities across the interlocking axes of race\, gender\, sexuality\, and disability. Prior to his return to academia\, he worked in the non-profit education equity space\, where he built inclusive\, accessible\, and culturally responsive curriculum on artificial intelligence and social justice\, serving as the Director of Education at SMASH (Kapor Center)\, the original Education Manager at AI4ALL\, and an Advisory Board Member for the AI4K12 initiative. In these capacities\, he has spoken about the societal implications of AI at venues such as the United Nations Youth Assembly\, the Annual oSTEM Conference\, and top universities such as Columbia\, NYU\, and CMU. His current research focuses on the “Asian” racial classification and its formation and history in the United States\, specifically how state data\, diasporic community activism\, image datasets\, and facial analysis algorithms reify and essentialize a US-centric\, pan-Asian racial category\, which is then exported transnationally as a racial/colonial project.\n\nCheng-Hsiu (Shin) Yang is a digital governance strategist and interdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of AI-integrated product design\, legal frameworks\, and community infrastructure. She holds an LL.M. in Interdisciplinary Legal Studies from National Chengchi University and is currently pursuing her LL.M. at UCLA School of Law (Class of 2026). With a hybrid background in law and product management\, Shin has led cross-functional teams in privacy-focused AI product development\, and separately\, in building open-source infrastructure for independent community platforms. Her work focuses on designing ethical governance frameworks for digital spaces that operate without identity verification\, public profiles\, or algorithmic enforcement—prioritizing anonymity\, relational trust\, and rhythm-based moderation. For a decade\, she has maintained a self-hosted digital community platform centered in Taiwan and serving primarily Mandarin-speaking gender and sexual minorities. The platform has grown into a pluralistic ecosystem with over 50\,000 monthly users\, governed by ethical\, and community-led practices. She has also contributed to global discussions on the governance of intimate and stigmatized content online\, especially in contexts where overregulation limits expression and safety. Her research explores plural digital publics\, platform ethics\, and post-verification governance models.\n\nMeet the Moderator \n\nM. Remi Yergeau (they/them/theirs) is an associate professor in Communication and Media Studies. Their scholarly interests include critical disability studies\, rhetoric\, digital studies\, trans and queer studies\, and neurodiversity. Yergeau is an autistic academic. Their knowledge of the autistic internet is informed by the scholarly and the personal: they once ran a neurodiversity blog\, led a student chapter of an autistic-led org\, and coordinated local protests. Their book\, Authoring Autism: On Rhetoric and Neurological Queerness (Duke UP)\, is a winner of the 2017 Modern Language Association First Book Prize\, the 2019 CCCC Lavender Rhetorics Book Award for Excellence in Queer Scholarship\, and the 2019 Rhetoric Society of America Book Award.\n\nWe want to make our events accessible to all participants.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Radical and Bioinspired Approaches in Main Group and Transition Metal Catalysis
DESCRIPTION:The advancement of non-precious metal catalysis depends critically on discovering new reaction pathways and harnessing unusual oxidation states of earth-abundant metals. In this seminar\, I will describe our recent work in two areas: (a) the rational design of molybdenum-based catalysts inspired by biological C–H hydroxylases\, and (b) the exploration of aluminum(II) chemistry for small molecule activation.\n\nIn the first part\, I will outline our efforts to develop structural and functional mimics of Mo-dependent hydroxylases such as xanthine oxidase and ethylbenzene dehydrogenase. These studies aim to generate catalysts that can hydroxylate C–H bonds in complex molecules with complementary site selectivity to existing technologies.\n\nIn the second part\, I will highlight our discovery of Al–Fe bond homolysis in heterobimetallic complexes as a route to Al-based radicals—formally Al(II) species—that exploit strain-induced biphilicity or redox non-innocence. These properties enable new pathways for small molecule activation. I will also discuss our use of data science tools to guide the development of catalytic C–O bond functionalization reactions involving radical mechanisms.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCEE Emerging Issues Lecture. Why Greenland Matters Now
DESCRIPTION:Greenland and the wider circumpolar Arctic are no longer peripheral concerns to observers of geopolitics\, but are now central sites of geopolitical\, economic\, and environmental contestation. Focusing on Greenland\, the lecture traces how debates over military basing\, mineral extraction\, Indigenous self-determination\, and environmental protection have become tightly intertwined. These overlapping pressures have produced new frictions between Washington\, Copenhagen\, Brussels\, and Nuuk\, revealing that Arctic security today is not only about hard security\, but also about trade\, governance\, and competing visions of identity and sovereignty. The lecture will situate the current drama on Greenland in the context of changes in Arctic security as a whole. The lecture will show that Greenland offers a critical lens through which to understand broader shifts in Arctic order: how alliances adapt\, how local actors navigate external pressures\, and how environmental change is transforming what “security” means in the twenty-first-century Arctic.\n\nDr. Gabriella Gricius is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Konstanz and a Fellow and the Media Coordinator with the North American and Arctic Defence and Security Network (NAADSN). She is also a Senior Fellow at the Arctic Institute. At the University of Konstanz\, she is currently working on Nordic security community formation and hybrid threats in the European Arctic region.\n   \n   She received her PhD from Colorado State University's Political Science Department where her dissertation explored the prevalence of low-tension discourse in Greenland\, Svalbard\, the Northern Sea Route\, and the Northwest Passage. Her writing is published in Foreign Policy\, International Politics\, European Security\, amongst other outlets\, and she has also been interviewed by BBC\, the New York Times\, and other major news outlets.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Tours:Subject Matters: How Did This Get Here?!
DESCRIPTION:Many of the objects on view at art museums have lived astonishingly mobile lives. Objects in UMMA’s African Art galleries are no different. They were created\, traded\, commissioned\, shipped\, inherited\, auctioned\, shipped again\, bought\, or otherwise passed through markets\, dealers\, and museums across multiple continents before arriving here in Ann Arbor.\n\nIn this *Subject Matters* event\, UMMA Curator Dave Choberka and UMMA’s Assistant Curator of African Art Ashley Miller unpack the complicated journeys some works of art take and how several objects in the *We Write to You About Africa* exhibition made their way to UMMA. We will consider the legacies of colonialism in the history of the African collection and focus on the new art UMMA has acquired to create a vibrant museum experience for our visitors.\n\nThis 90-minute event digs into provenance\, cultural exchange\, colonial entanglements\, contemporary market dynamics\, and the ethical questions museums face when artworks have long\, layered histories.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability/Analysis Circle: What is the Toda Lattice?
DESCRIPTION:To briefly answer the question in the title\, the Toda lattice is a system of particles connected with springs having an exponential force law.  It turns out that the exponential force law is very special\, allowing one to completely describe the dynamics of the system.  In this talk\, we will solve the Toda lattice explicitly in the case of two particles\, and describe the long-term dynamics of the system by analyzing the solution.  Then we will show how the method can be generalized so that any number of particles can be handled with similar precision.  The general method involves a surprising connection with linear algebra.

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:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Dissertation Defense- Pattern and process across temporal scales of biodiversity turnover
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Across the vastest scales of time and space\, biodiversity reveals staggering variability\, with species numbers differing dramatically among otherwise similar groups of organisms. Previous studies have shown that species traits\, such as physical characteristics or ecological roles\, often fail to explain these patterns. This dissertation explores whether emergent\, population-level processes influence species formation and extinction rates\, thus addressing a core question in evolutionary biology: how and why did life become so diverse? Specifically\, I investigate whether sexual selection intensity (Chapter 2) and population-level persistence over decadal timescales (Chapter 3) or millennia (Chapter 4) drive diversification rates at million-year timescales. I also show how mixing different levels of organization\, like species and populations\, can severely bias inferences on evolutionary rates across millions of years (Chapter 5). Finally\, I present an open-source tool for teaching evolutionary biology through an interactive\, data-driven framework (Chapter 6). I conclude that a comprehensive understanding of Earth's biodiversity dynamics demands the integration of evidence across a wide array of disciplines.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

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:Presentation:Prehensile Contact Modeling and Perception for Dexterous Manipulation
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Nima Fazeli\nMarch 11\, 2026\, 9am\nFord Robotics Building 2300 and on Zoom\n\nAbstract\nContact is central to dexterous manipulation\, yet it remains one of the hardest aspects of robotics to model\, control\, and perceive. In this dissertation\, we investigate how robots can better reason about prehensile contact through a unified perspective of modeling\, action\, and perception.\n\nWe develop analytical models for frictional patch contact in planar manipulation\, show how fingertip micro-vibrations can enable in-hand object reconfiguration with simple grippers\, and present a multimodal framework that combines vision and active audio sensing to estimate contact under occlusion. We also explore a vibration-based tactile sensing direction for inferring touch location and force from structured acoustic signals.\n\nTogether\, these contributions help make contact-rich manipulation more predictable\, observable\, and effective\, advancing robotic systems that can interact more robustly with the physical world.

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

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Near-extremal black hole evaporation
DESCRIPTION:Over the last few years it has been understood that black holes sufficiently close to extremality receive large quantum corrections that modify their thermodynamic properties. In this talk\, I will explain how these large corrections modify the real time dynamics of near-extremal black holes. As an example\, the spectrum of emitted Hawking radiation differs drastically from the standard predictions of QFT in curved spacetime for such black holes.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary QC-CM Seminar | Synchrotron-based near field imaging of polar domain walls in Ni_3 TeO_6
DESCRIPTION:Domain walls are leading platforms for the development of ultra-low power switching and memory devices due to their ability to move\, be created and erased in real time\, and mitigate heat flux. Interface vs. wavelength size effects unfortunately preclude the measurement of phonons by traditional spectroscopic techniques\, making it difficult to unravel the primary excitations of the lattice and the symmetries that they represent across these functional interfaces. In this work\, we employed synchrotron-based near-field infrared nanospectroscopy to image 180◦ polar domain walls in multiferroic Ni_3 TeO_6. This is a unique platform because\, in addition to hosting polar and chiral domains that are interlocked with one another\, Ni_3 TeO_6 displays both charged and neutral interfaces depending upon the direction allowing the development of structure-property relations. Comparison of the contour\, fixed distance\, and fixed frequency plots reveals that charged walls are twice as wide as (and less stable than) the neutral interfaces due to additional strain created by the on-end chiral helices. Chirality is responsible for much of the interface stiffness and the hardening of certain phonons at the walls. The largest frequency shift\, for instance\, takes place in a mode consisting of a NiO_6 octahedral contraction and rotation along c\, modifying the force constant by approximately 1%. Frequency shifts at walls of both types indicate that polarization switches via an Ising-type mechanism due to structural constraints associated with interlocked chirality. Our estimates also reveal that phonon lifetimes are on the order of 1 ps or less\, with marked changes at the charged and neutral walls. The ability to quantify the consequences of charge accumulation at a functional interface in terms of phonon lifetimes opens new avenues for heat management in domain wall-based devices.\n\nReference: A.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:(Artificial) Intelligence saturation and the future of work
DESCRIPTION:Macroeconomic models typically treat AI as just another form of capital and predict a slowly evolving world\, while computer science scaling laws applied to the whole economy predict explosive growth and the potential for a singularity-like event. Both views gloss over the asymmetric reality that intelligence capital or AI scales at computer-science speeds\, whereas physical capital and labor do not. What’s missing is a unified\, parameter-driven framework that can nest assumptions from both economics and computer science to generate meaningful predictions of AI’s wage and output impacts. Here we use a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production function framework that separates physical and intelligence sectors. Whereas physical capabilities let us affect the world\, intelligence capabilities let us do this as well: The two are complementary. Given complementarity between the two sectors\, the marginal returns to intelligence saturate\, no matter how fast AI scales. Because the price of AI capital is falling much faster than that of physical capital\, intelligence tasks are automated first\, pushing human labor toward the physical sector. The impact of automation on wages is theoretically ambiguous and can be non-monotonic in the degree of automation. A necessary condition for automation to decrease wages is that the share of employment in the intelligence sector decreases\; this condition is not sufficient because automation can raise output enough to offset negative reallocation effects. In our baseline simulation\, wages increase and then decrease with automation. Our interactive tool shows how parameter changes shift that trajectory. Wage decreases are steeper at high levels of automation when the outputs of the physical and intelligence sectors are more substitutable. After full automation\, more AI and more physical capital increase wages\, a classic prediction from standard production functions in capital and labor. Yet\, when intelligence and physical are complementary\, the marginal wage impact of AI capital saturates as AI grows large. More broadly\, the model offers a structured way to map contrasting intuitions from economics and computer science into a shared parameter space\, enabling clearer policy discussions and guiding empirical work to identify which growth and wage trajectories are plausible.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: The Fundamental Theorem of Finite Semidistributive Lattices
DESCRIPTION:Last time\, we saw that the lattice of torsion classes is completely semidistributive. Motivated in part by this fact\, Reading–Speyer–Thomas proved a fundamental theorem of finite semidistributive lattices. We'll give the necessary definitions to state the theorem\, give some examples\, and explain the connection to torsion classes. Time permitting\, we will also describe canonical join representations and the canonical join complex of a finite semidistributive lattice.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Number Theory: Tate Conjecture for Shimura Varieties of Type (G(U(1\,n-1) x U(n-1\,1)))
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we will discuss the Tate conjecture for Shimura varieties of type (G(U(1\,n-1) x U(n-1\,1))). We will first describe the supersingular locus of these Shimura varieties\, which provides Gysin maps induced by the closed immersions of the irreducible components of the supersingular locus.\n\nUsing these maps\, we reduce the Tate conjecture to showing that a certain matrix has nonzero determinant\, where the entries are given by Hecke actions and incidence numbers. The overall strategy is similar to the proof of the Tate conjecture for more general Shimura varieties\, but expressed in a slightly more elaborate language.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Keeping Children Safe on the Road: Emerging Evidence from Pregnancy to Adolescence
DESCRIPTION:This presentation brings together two applied behavioural studies that sit at different points in the life course but share a common challenge: safety-critical behaviours often change when people move outside familiar contexts. The presentation will begin with pregnancy and seatbelt use - an area where compliance is high\, yet 'correct' use is far from assured\, and then move to adolescence\, focusing on independent mobility and safety in the context of rideshare use.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Symplectomorphisms of S² × S²
DESCRIPTION:Unlike Riemannian geometry\, symplectic topology is locally flexible\; by Darboux's and Moser’s theorems\, it carries no local invariants. However\, despite this local flexibility\, Mikhail Gromov revealed global rigidity phenomena in 1985 by introducing the study of J-holomorphic curves in symplectic manifolds. In this talk\, we will explore J-holomorphic curves in S² × S² and see how they can be used to understand the topology of the group of symplectomorphisms.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Pulser IFE: A Practical and Affordable Approach to Fusion Energy
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe Pacific Fusion Corporation\, founded in 2023\, is developing the targets and drivers needed to achieve high gain fusion for the first time in the laboratory and to simultaneously resolve significant hurdles to commercialization. We are building a 60-MA pulsed power driver based on the Impedance-matched Marx Generator (IMG) technology\, a driver technology with unprecedented efficiency. Magnetically driven targets\, coupled to such an efficient generator\, provide flexibility in design\, low risk scaling\, and a mature physics foundation. We will discuss the theoretical foundations that underpin our approach to fusion energy. To support our target design objectives we are developing and using the FLASH code. We have extensively improved and validated FLASH to support our mission. Additionally\, to support experiments on our facility we have designed a state of the art diagnostic suite to enable optical\, x-ray\, and nuclear measurements of burning plasmas in the ~100 MJ regime. Our diagnostics are based on a foundation of statistical inference\, allowing us to motivate designs based on their ability to quantitatively constrain key performance metrics.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Patrick Knapp is an experimental physicist and the experiments lead at the Pacific Fusion Corporation\, where he leads the effort to develop experimental platforms and analysis tools in support of achieving facility gain and fusion energy on the grid with pulser fusion. He earned a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Syracuse University in 2004\, and the PhD in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University in 2011. Dr. Knapp dedicated eleven years as a staff member at Sandia National Laboratories\, where he directed over 100 experiments on the Z machine. During his tenure\, he was instrumental in developing multiple novel x-ray instruments\, establishing the Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) platform\, and creating a methodology to measure fuel magnetization utilizing secondary DT neutrons. Furthermore\, he devised a novel Bayesian inference method to ascertain key performance metrics from MagLIF experiments. Prior to joining Pacific Fusion in July 2024\, Dr. Knapp worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory\, where he spearheaded the development of a Pulsed Power ICF program and applied Pulsed Power to critical stockpile stewardship challenges. His responsibilities at Pacific Fusion involve designing experiments aimed at derisking novel target technologies and generating validation data for the FLASH radiation-magnetohydrodynamics code. He also leads the development of post-processing and synthetic data pipelines\, which are essential for the informed design and optimization of the diagnostic suite for the forthcoming facility gain Demonstration System.\n\nThis seminar is free and open to the public. It will be conducted in person and on Zoom\, please check MIPSE website for details: https://mipse.umich.edu/seminars_2526.php

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Special valuations and automorphisms of affine log Calabi-Yau varieties
DESCRIPTION:The notion of special valuations\, i.e. finitely generated valuations inducing klt degenerations\, plays an important role in the recent study of K-stability and moduli of Fano varieties. Given an affine log Calabi-Yau variety U\, we show that its special skeleton\, namely the space of special valuations in the dual complex of U\, is independent of the choice of its Fano compactifications. Consequently\, the special skeleton of U is invariant under the action of Aut(U). As an example\, when U is the complement of a Markov cubic surface in the affine three-space\, we show that the action of three Vieta involutions on the special skeleton exhibits a surprising connection with dynamics on the hyperbolic plane.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Outperforming a Benchmark with $\alpha$-Bregman Wasserstein divergence
DESCRIPTION:We consider the problem of active portfolio management\, where an investor seeks the portfolio with maximal expected utility of the difference between the terminal wealth of their strategy and a proportion of the benchmark's\, subject to a budget\, and a deviation constraint from the benchmark portfolio.\nAs the investor aims at outperforming the benchmark\, they choose a divergence that asymmetrically penalises gains and losses as well as penalises underperforming the benchmark more than outperforming it. This is achieved by the recently introduced $\alpha$-Bregman-Wasserstein divergence\, subsuming the Bregman-Wasserstein and the popular Wasserstein divergence. We prove existence and uniqueness\, characterise the optimal portfolio strategy\, and give explicit criteria when the divergence constraints and the budget constraints are binding. We conclude with a numerical illustration of the optimal quantile function in a geometric Brownian motion market model.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Modeling effects of seasonal light variations on the sleep patterns of young children
DESCRIPTION:Sleep disturbances\, particularly nighttime waking\, are highly prevalent in young children and can significantly disrupt not only the child’s well-being but also family functioning. Behavioral and environmental strategies\, including the regulation of light exposure\, are typically recommended treatments for nighttime waking. Using the Homeostatic-Circadian-Light (HCL) mathematical model for sleep timing based on the interaction of the circadian rhythm\, the homeostatic sleep drive and external light\, we analyze how external light schedules can influence the occurrence of nighttime waking in young children. We fit the model to data for sleep homeostasis and sleep behavior in 2 - 3.5 year olds and identified subsets of parameter ranges that fit the data but indicated a susceptibility to nighttime waking. This suggests that as children develop they may exhibit more or less propensity to awaken during the night. Notably\, parameter sets exhibiting earlier sleep timing were more susceptible to nighttime waking. For a model parameter set susceptible to\, but not exhibiting\, nighttime waking\, we analyze how external light schedules affect sleep patterns. We find that low daytime light levels can induce nighttime sleep disruptions and extended bright-light exposure also promotes nighttime waking. Further results suggest that consistent daily routines are essential\; irregular schedules\, particularly during weekends\, markedly worsen the consolidation of nighttime sleep. Specifically\, weekend delays in morning lights-on and evening lights-off times result in nighttime sleep disruptions and can influence sleep timing during the week. These results highlight how external light\, daily rhythms\, and parenting routines interact to shape childrens’ sleep health\, providing a useful framework for improving sleep management practices.

Kleiman\, M.D.\, recounts the profound career moments that define the doctor-patient partnership\, illuminating the path toward preventing physician burnout. \n\nHOW DO I GET THE BOOK?\n\nBook copies are available on Amazon for $10\, in both paperback and Kindle versions (and free for students with Kindle Unlimited).  If you need financial assistance purchasing the book\, complete this GoogleForm (myumi.ch/z98zn) by Tuesday\, February 17 to have a copy provided for you. \n\nWHAT CAN I EXPECT AT THE BOOK DISCUSSION EVENT?\n\nA virtual Book Discussion will be held on Wednesday\, March 11 from 5 - 6 PM with the author\, Jay H. Kleiman\, M.D.\, and his wife\, Georgi.  This will provide you the opportunity to directly engage with the author and his spouse to learn from their lived experiences.  A set of discussion prompts and questions is available to view in advance\; however\, live questions from participants are highly encouraged.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Imagine Doing Better in Washtenaw County
DESCRIPTION:Edward Ginsberg Center presents a special book event with Paul Fleming PhD MPH\, Associate Professor of Health Behavior & Health Equity\, U-M School of Public Health.\nJoin local community leaders and Paul Fleming\, author of Imagine Doing Better: Why Policies Backfire and How Prevention Thinking Can Change Everything (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2025) to imagine transformational change in Washtenaw County. Featuring special guests:\n\nMaria Ibarra-Frayre - Co-Executive Director\, We the People Michigan\nYodit Mesfin Johnson - Co-Founder\, FutureRoot\; Executive in Residence\, Nonprofit Enterprise at Work (NEW)\nDesirae Simmons - Director\, Interfaith Council for Peace & Justice (ICPJ)\; Ypsilanti City Council Member\, Ward 3\nJessica A.S. Letaw\, moderator - Ginsberg Center Community Leader in Residence ‘25-’26\; Co-Founder\, FutureRoot and the Co-Liberation Collaborative\n\nDinner is Provided. Event is free. Space is limited and registration is required. \n\n—--\nAbout The Book\n“Public policies in the United States are built on certain assumptions: that long-term prison sentences deter crime\, that corporate profits benefit everyone\, that police are the best way to ensure safety\, and that meritocracy ensures equal opportunity. Yet\, as public health expert Paul J. Fleming reveals\, mountains of evidence show that many of these widely accepted policies cause harm\, perpetuate inequities\, and even lead to premature death.\nIn Imagine Doing Better\, Fleming offers a bold vision for change that's rooted in public health principles of prevention—addressing problems at their root before they occur. Combining rigorous research\, historical analysis\, and compelling narratives\, he examines the deep flaws in policies governing health care\, education\, justice\, and the environment. Fleming unpacks how these systems were built\, why harmful assumptions persist\, and how they can be reimagined to promote equity\, sustainability\, and human dignity. Fleming challenges readers to rethink entrenched ideas by exploring thought-provoking questions like \"Are prisons a good investment?\" and \"Is education a ladder or a sieve?\". He highlights how budgets and policies reflect moral choices\, and he provides frameworks for advocacy and policymaking grounded in evidence and fairness.\nFleming paints a hopeful—yet urgent—picture of what's possible when societies invest in solutions that prioritize human dignity\, equity\, and sustainability. Accessible and inspiring\, Imagine Doing Better offers a hopeful roadmap to a future where all communities have the resources and opportunities to thrive.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Ladysmith Black Mambazo
DESCRIPTION:Over sixty years later the impossible dream continues\n\nLet us tell you a story. An impossible to believe\, yet\, true story. Once upon a time there was a teenage boy working on his family farm in apartheid South Africa. The year was 1960. This boy loved to sing\, in fact he loved to sing so much that he allowed himself an impossible dream. In his dream he would create a group of singers\, from his family members\, to sing traditional South African songs. His group would perform all over South Africa and they would become the greatest music group his country would ever know. How could such a dream come to a young farm boy in a country rife with hardship\, violence and trouble? Well\, Joseph Shabalala was this young farm boy and his dream would become Ladysmith Black Mambazo. \n\nThe year 2025 marks the 65th anniversary of Joseph Shabalala forming Ladysmith Black Mambazo. His group would not only conquer all of South Africa\, but would become a worldwide phenomenon\, winning more GRAMMY Awards (Five)\, and receiving more GRAMMY Award nominations (Nineteen)\, than any World Music group in the history of recorded music. \n\nDuring the dark years of South African Apartheid\, Ladysmith Black Mambazo followed a path of peaceful protest through songs of hope and love. When Nelson Mandela was released from prison\, in 1990\, he said that Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s music was a powerful message of peace that he listened to while in jail. When Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize\, in 1993\, he asked the group to join him at the ceremony. It was Mandela who called Ladysmith Black Mambazo “South Africa’s Cultural Ambassadors to the World.” \n\nThe group sings a traditional music style called isicathamiya (Is-Cot-A-Mee-Ya)\, which developed in the mines of South Africa. It was there that black workers were taken to work far away from their homes and families. Poorly housed and paid\, the mine workers would entertain themselves\, after a six-day work week\, by singing songs into the wee hours on Saturday night and Sunday. When the miners returned to their homes\, this musical tradition returned with them. \n\nIn the mid-1980s\, American singer/songwriter Paul Simon famously visited South Africa and incorporated the group's rich harmonies into his renowned Graceland album – a landmark recording considered seminal in introducing World Music to mainstream audiences. This brought the group to the attention of music lovers all over the world\, the beginning of a global musical career that shows no sign of ending. \n\nAfter leading his group for over fifty years and approaching his seventy-fifth birthday\, Joseph Shabalala retired in 2014\, handing the leadership to his three sons\, Thulani\, Sibongiseni and Thamsanqa Shabalala. Having joined their father’s group in 1993\, their many years of training had prepared them in ways no others could be trained. Now\, carrying their father’s dream into the future\, the Shabalala Family continues the group’s success for the world to hear. \n\nLadysmith Black Mambazo is Thulani Shabalala\, Sibongiseni Shabalala\, Thamsanqa Shabalala\, Msizi Shabalala\, Albert Mazibuko\, Abednego Mazibuko\, Mfanafuthi Dlamini\, Pius Shezi and Sabelo Mthembu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

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:CAS Exhibit. Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n     Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n   \n     Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Estimation in linear models with clustered data (joint work with Mikkel Solvsten and Baiyun Jing)
DESCRIPTION:We study linear regression models with clustered data\, high-dimensional controls\, and a complicated structure of exclusion restrictions. We propose a correctly centered internal IV estimator that accommodates a variety of exclusion restrictions and permits within-cluster dependence. The estimator has a simple leave-out interpretation and remains computationally tractable. We derive a central limit theorem for its quadratic form and propose a robust variance estimator. We also develop inference methods that remain valid under weak identification. Our framework extends classical dynamic panel methods to more general clustered settings. An empirical application of a large-scale fiscal intervention in rural Kenya with spatial interference illustrates the approach.

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

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series: The INSPIRE Advantage: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others\nAdam Galinsky\nThursday\, March 12\, 2026\n11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET\nFree and open to all\, registration required to obtain login information\nOnline\n\nEvent link: https://myumi.ch/794QQ\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:\nSocial psychologist and leadership expert Adam Galinsky has spent three decades building a method for determining when we are inspiring versus infuriating\, and where each of us—presidents\, CEOs\, coaches\, teachers\, parents—currently land on that spectrum. In this talk\, Galinsky will unpack the science of inspiration and show how inspiring and infuriating leaders represent a universal continuum that is rooted in the very architecture of the human brain. In his research\, Galinsky has identified the three universal features in inspiring others. Because these three universal factors can be learned and developed\, Galinsky has proven that inspiring leaders aren’t just born—instead\, we can inspire or infuriate in any given moment through our behavior\, words\, or presence. Galinsky will reveal how all of us\, regardless of status or circumstance\, can be more inspiring more often. \n\nAbout Galinsky:\nAdam Galinsky is the Paul Calello Professor of Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School. A world-renowned expert in leadership and negotiation\, he authored the recently released \"INSPIRE: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others\" and co-authored the bestselling book\, Friend & Foe. His books are based in over 300 scientific articles and chapters he has co-authored. His TED Talk\, \"How to Speak Up for Yourself\,\" has over 7.7 million views\, highlighting his impact on influence and inspiration. Professor Galinsky has served as a damages expert in a dozen trials involving reputational damage\, including Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News and Bacon v. Nygard. His expert reports and testimony have generated more than $1 billion in verdicts and settlements. He is an Executive and Associate Producer on six award-winning documentaries\, including two (Horns and Halos (2003) and Battle for Brooklyn (2011)) that were short-listed (final 15) for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards. He received his PhD from Princeton University and his BA from Harvard University.\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:Quantum Research Institute |  Learning from Quantum Experiments via Structured Signal Processing
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: West Hall 411\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/98748463202?jst=2\n\nAbstract:\nThe pursuit of quantum advantage in solving large-scale computational problems is often seen as a shining treasure. Achieving this goal\, however\, requires the accurate realization of smaller-scale quantum gates and control operations. Understanding and characterizing modular gate and control errors is therefore essential for building reliable quantum applications. Earlier work has typically pursued either universal algorithms with theoretical guarantees or black-box engineering approaches with no guarantees. Yet\, problem-specific structures offer opportunities for efficient and robust system characterization at the intersection of theory and practice. In this talk\, I will present how structured signal transformation and processing can be used to exploit such structures. I will first introduce a gate characterization method that is both resource-efficient and robust against complex experimental errors\, drawing parallels to parameter estimation in classical statistics. I will then generalize this idea to functional signals and present a novel non-parametric estimation paradigm.\n\nBio:\nYulong Dong is an Assistant Professor in ECE\, with a courtesy appointment in Mathematics\, at the University of Michigan. He earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from UC Berkeley in 2023. Before joining UMich\, he worked as a research intern at Google Quantum AI\, then as a research scientist at ByteDance AI Lab in California\, and subsequently at the University of Washington. His research focuses on numerical analysis\, optimization\, and quantum computing\, with particular emphasis on quantum algorithms for scientific computing and high-precision quantum learning and sensing. His work not only provides rigorous theoretical results but also maintains close connections to practical applications. More broadly\, his research aims to bridge quantum computing with applied mathematics and information theory by addressing challenging problems in quantum algorithms and sensing from numerical-analysis and information-theoretic perspectives.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Millie Sullivan\, University of Delaware
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nNucleic acid cargoes offer unmatched diversity in gene regulatory potential and therapeutics\, and understanding of nucleic acid functionality continues to expand rapidly and dramatically through seminal discoveries including RNA interference approaches and gene editing technologies.  In nature\, the basis for gene regulation is ultimately encoded by the exquisite specificity with which cells are able to control both the location and accessibility of nucleic acid constructs to govern their activation states.  My research program seeks to understand and control gene activation using synthetic constructs through nature-inspired approaches to control and quantify cell binding interactions and stability in polymer and peptide nanocarriers.  The basis of our approaches is the design of stimuli-responsive polymers and peptides whose interactions with nucleic acids and cells can be controlled dynamically by specific intracellular or external triggers.  We exploit our ability to control nucleic acid binding/release and cellular processing to gain new mechanistic insights over nucleic acid delivery\, leading to design advances including histone-inspired DNA targeting\, light-responsive gene silencing\, and collagen turnover-stimulated gene expression.  This talk will highlight ways we have used nature-inspired peptides and responsive polymers to control gene transfer in regenerative medicine.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Katz-Newcomb Lecture | The socioecological psychology of curiosity: Specialization and its discontent.
DESCRIPTION:Division of labor (specialization) is widely considered a cornerstone of modern productivity\, yet its potential psychological costs are not well understood. We examined whether division of labor reduces curiosity–the motivation to explore and learn new things. Across four experiments (N = 821)\, participants who work\, or are expected to work\, in divided labor settings showed lower curiosity than those who work in undivided settings. Analyses of three large cross-sectional datasets and one longitudinal panel (N = 320\,119) showed that similar patterns generalized across countries\, industries\, economic contexts\, and personality profiles. Together\, these findings suggest that\, as work becomes more divided\, people’s motivation to explore and learn new things may diminish.\n\nAbout the speaker: Shigehiro Oishi is the Marshall Field IV Distinguished Service Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on culture\, social ecology (e.g.\, residential mobility\, walkability\, income inequality)\, and well-being (e.g.\, happiness\, meaning in life\, psychological richness). He is an author of Life in Three Dimensions (Doubleday/Penguin-Random house) and 「幸せを科学する」”Doing The Science of Happiness” Shinyosha\, Tokyo\, Japan. He won the 2017 Society of Experimental Social Psychology Career Trajectory Award\, the 2018 Carol and Ed Diener Award in Social Psychology from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology\, and the 2021 Outstanding Achievement Award for Advancing Cultural Psychology. He is a member of the American Academy of the Arts and Sciences.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Matt Hodgman
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nMachine learning is becoming increasingly relevant and accessible in every field. But what does the machine actually learn? The demand for explainable machine learning has never been higher--especially in sensitive fields like healthcare. An explainable machine learning algorithm can describe the learned relationships between input data and output predictions\, as well as describe the reasons for single specific prediction. The list of truly explainable machine learning algorithms is short and often limited by poor predictive performance at complex tasks. We have developed a novel fuzzy neural network that exhibits both high explainability and accuracy in a variety of applications from classifying disease outcomes to regressing drug doses. This algorithm can use both domain-expert knowledge and complex data to converge on complex solutions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Ted Lawrence
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation: Over 25% of the world’s surface fresh water is found in the seven African Great Lakes. These basins are of vital importance to hundreds of millions of people\, providing drinking water\, protein\, jobs\, and transportation\, and further supporting the Gross Domestic Product of each of the ten riparian countries. The lakes are the most species-rich freshwater systems on the planet\, harboring over a thousand fish species\, and hundreds of other aquatic and terrestrial species. The importance of these lakes is undermined\, however\, by myriad anthropogenic stressors\, including climate change\, overuse\, gas and oil exploration\, habitat loss and degradation\, agricultural runoff\, industrial and urban pollution\, invasive species\, and a host of other issues. The lack of attention to the health of these lakes is a modern-day tragedy\, with a dearth of research barely enough to provide information to make good policy and management decisions. The AGL are all multijurisdictional in nature\, suffering from tragedy-of-the-commons-type issues. Recognizing that no one organization or institution can address the challenges that our global freshwater resources face\, recent efforts by African\, North American\, and European experts are proactively seeking to build partnerships that leverage the combined skills\, assets\, technologies and resources of public\, private and nonprofit entities to deliver sustainable instruction and research. The major goal is to positively influence policy and management of freshwater resources in East Africa through sound science. The process is a long-term collaborative process by which the scientific\, academic\, policy and management\, and other interested community interact through a structured process to prioritize research and thus\, harness the resources and knowledge to conduct research that results in useful\, harmonized data\, and ideas to influence positive change. The full process\, described in this talk\, is to ensure that the ecological structure of the African Great Lakes\, and those who depend on them are preserved and enhanced.\n\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Ted Lawrence is the Executive Director of the African Center for Aquatic Research and Education (ACARE)—leading work to ensure scientists from North America and African collaborate and share knowledge to protect freshwater Great Lakes around the world.\n\nHe has been living\, working\, and researching in Africa for over 20 years. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan\, researching governance and management of large\, multi-jurisdictional freshwater resources\, specifically on Lake Victoria\, East Africa and conducted comparative analysis of management approaches between African and North American lake systems.\n\nBased on his background and research\, Ted and his colleagues formed ACARE\, a highly collaborative organization whose goals are to positively affect policy and management on Africa’s Great Lakes by executing a long-term network of freshwater experts to strengthen science in Africa. He also spent 15 years as the Communications and Policy Specialist at the bi-national Canadian-U.S. Great Lakes Fishery Commission where many of the building blocks for successful collaboration are used to inform the processes on the African Great Lakes.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Bounding HSL Numbers: A Measure of the Nilpotency of Frobenius
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This thesis provides upper bounds for a certain singularity invariant\, in the case where the underlying ring is in one of a few well-known classes of rings. The Hartshorne-Speiser-Lyubeznik number or HSL number of a Noetherian local (or graded) ring is a measure of the nilpotency of Frobenius on local cohomology with support at the (homogeneous) maximal ideal. It is known that the HSL number of such a ring is finite\, but it is not known in general how to compute the HSL number for any given ring. In this thesis we present computable upper bounds for the HSL numbers of semigroup rings\, toric face rings\, and quotients of polynomial rings by monomial ideals\, and compute the exact HSL number of monomial hypersurfaces. We also relate the HSL number of a ring to the HSL number of its reduction\, provide Macaulay2 code to compute HSL numbers of quotients of polynomial rings\, and discuss the application of our results to bounding Frobenius test exponents.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Classroom Activities for Engaging with Politics\, Policy\, & Social Issues
DESCRIPTION:Across the disciplines\, we can help our students to build skills for civic and democratic engagement that will serve them throughout their careers and lives. This role can be challenging\, however\, particularly in politically polarized times. Our goal for this in-person\, interactive workshop is to strengthen instructors’ toolkits for incorporating civic skills-building in the classroom and discipline. We’ll explore specific classroom activities for class sessions discussing policy\, politics\, and social issues\, such as deliberative dialogue discussions and conversation cafes. We’ll focus on how to select and design activities well-suited for the specific skills we are seeking to foster during a class period.  \n\nOpen to faculty\, staff\, admin\, GSIs\, and post-docs. \nThis session is offered as part of the Promoting Democracy Teaching Series\, co-sponsored by CRLT and Ginsberg Center.\n\nRegistration: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/105958

DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines older driver safety through a behavioural science lens\, challenging the assumption that chronological age alone defines driving risk. Drawing on longitudinal\, naturalistic driving evidence\, it highlights the roles of functional capacity\, task demands\, and self-regulation in shaping real-world driving behaviour. The findings have important implications for assessment\, licensing policy\, and supporting safe mobility in an ageing population.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Engineering immunotherapies for autoimmunity and cancer\n\nAbstract:\nEffective delivery of drugs to direct immune responses requires an understanding of biological barriers\, physicochemical properties of drug molecules\, formulation and transport in vivo.  Designing molecular structures that persist at the administration site or that promote drainage to regional lymphatic networks may enhance immune responses while sparing immune-related adverse events.  Here\, drug transport and local elimination mechanisms will be overviewed.  Then\, examples of molecular designs to direct drug delivery will be presented.  Autoimmune therapies were designed by our lab to promote the drainage of autoantigens to secondary lymphoid organs to treat autoimmune diseases.  Specifically\, the size and solubility of these molecular constructs were tuned to promote access to the lymphatic compartment and induce immune tolerance in mouse models of type 1 diabetes.  Our lab has also recently explored the design of immunostimulants that persist in tumor tissue after intratumoral/perilesional injection.  Intratumoral immunotherapy is proposed to work synergistically with checkpoint inhibitors making a nonresponsive ‘cold’ tumor ‘hot’ by recruiting and activating tumor infiltrating lymphocytes.  This approach can suffer from systemic immune-related adverse reactions\, however\, if enough immunostimulant escapes the site of administration.  Data on the use of electrostatic mechanisms to promote tumor retention will be presented.  These examples underscore the need for rational design of drug molecules or formulations based upon the route of delivery and biological barriers encountered.     \n\nBio:\nCory Berkland is the Mark and Becky Levin Professor in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Chemistry at Washington University in Saint Louis.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PPE Lecture Series: Rajiv Sethi (Barnard College\, Columbia University)
DESCRIPTION:Title:\n\"The Interpretation of Signals\"\n\nAbstract: \nWe live in a sea of signals. Words and phrases\, emoticons and emojis\,  pronouns in bios\,  tattoos and piercings\, skin color and eye shape\, flags and insignia\, diplomas and certificates\, standardized test scores\, and prices in markets — these are all carriers of information demanding attention and interpretation. We attach meanings to these messages\, and they shape our actions in ways large and small. This lecture is motivated by the conviction that something useful can be said about economic and social life if one examines signals — despite their bewildering variety and complexity — from a unified perspective\, with a focus on statistical inference and strategic incentives.\n\nRajiv Sethi is a Professor of Economics at Barnard College\, Columbia University and an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He is a 2025-26 fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University. Rajiv was a 2020-21 Joy Foundation Fellow at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute\, and a 2008-09 Richard B. Fisher Member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Professor Sethi has served on the editorial boards of several journals\, including the American Economic Review\, and is a founding associate editor of Collective Intelligence.\n\n His current research deals with information and beliefs.\n\nIn collaboration with Brendan O’Flaherty\, he has examined the manner in which stereotypes affect interactions among strangers\, especially in relation to crime and the criminal justice system. These include interactions between victims and offenders\, officers and suspects\, prosecutors and witnesses\, and judges and defendants. Their book\, Shadows of Doubt: Stereotypes\, Crime\, and the Pursuit of Justice was published by Harvard University Press in 2019.\n\nWith Muhamet Yildiz\, he has explored communication among individuals who consider each other to have valuable information\, but also believe that others are biased to different degrees in the manner in which they process information. In deciding where to seek information\, therefore\, people face a trade-off between sources that are well-informed (in the sense of having precise information about the world) and those that are well-understood (in the sense of having transparent biases). In previous work they have examined public disagreement and private information flows\, and in current work are exploring the implications of correlated biases within social groups.\n\nRajiv is a contributor to CORE (Curriculum Open-Access Resources for Economics)\, an initiative aimed at the production of high-quality resources for the teaching of economics\, distributed free of charge worldwide under a Creative Commons license.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Sequential Decision Making with Offline Data and under Partial Observability
DESCRIPTION:What Makes Partially Observable Decision Making Tractable?\n\nAbstract: \nReal-world sequential decision-making problems - such as those in healthcare\, recommendation\, and language model alignment - are complicated by latent variables that influence the data but are never directly observed. The most general framework for such settings\, the partially observable MDP\, is statistically intractable. What structure makes learning tractable despite the latent variables?\n\nThis work identifies a common structural pattern across four distinct settings: the latent variable's influence is confined to one part of the data-generating process\, and within that part it acts through a low-dimensional or low-complexity channel. We study this pattern in mixtures of MDPs\, confounded offline policy evaluation\, RLHF with partially observed reward states\, and linear latent contextual bandits. In each case\, we establish impossibility results showing what fails without the right assumptions\, then develop algorithms that exploit the structure through spectral subspace recovery\, decoupled estimation\, and optimism calibrated to the latent channel's complexity. The resulting regret bounds\, sample complexity bounds\, and structural characterizations scale with the dimension of the latent channel rather than the ambient problem\, and are matched by minimax lower bounds in key settings. We validate our methods on both synthetic and real-world data.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Igniting Microrobotics: Combustion-Driven Actuation at Small Scales
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe field of microrobotics is experiencing a “Cambrian Explosion” before our very eyes. Applications for these diminutive devices span several disciplines\, including healthcare\, environmental monitoring\, exploration\, and industrial inspection. However\, scaling laws fundamentally constrain the design of microrobotic systems\, particularly in how they store energy\, deliver power\, and perform mechanical work. As robots shrink\, conventional actuators struggle to generate meaningful forces. The limited energy density of microbatteries leaves many platforms tethered to external energy sources.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present a new class of combustion-driven microactuators that leverage the high energy density of chemical fuels to produce rapid\, high-power mechanical motion at millimeter scales. I will show how these actuators enable microrobots that jump far beyond their body length (2 orders of magnitude)\, perform aerial maneuvers\, traverse challenging terrain\, and drive mechanical transmissions that convert linear actuation into rotary motion. Together\, these results point toward a new class of highly energetic\, untethered microrobotic systems capable of operating where conventional actuation and power technologies fail.\n\nBiography:\nCameron Aubin is an Assistant Professor of Robotics at the University of Michigan\, where he leads the Zoetic Robotics Laboratory. He received his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University (2014) and his M.S (2020) and Ph.D. (2023) in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University. His interdisciplinary team develops energy-material systems that blur the line between power\, structure\, actuation\, and control\, enabling more enduring\, adaptable\, and autonomous machines. Dr. Aubin’s research interests include soft and biologically inspired robots\, microrobots\, chemical and combustion-powered systems\, batteries\, and advanced materials and manufacturing. His work has been published in several reputable journals\, including Nature and Science\, and has been featured in popular media outlets\, including CNN\, PBS\, BBC\, Wired\, and Veritasium. Recent honors include a Best Paper Award in Benchmarking and Reproducibility and a Best Student Paper Finalist Award (as PI) at IEEE RoboSoft 2025.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:Joseph’s Title: Tracing Black Hole Winds Across Cosmic Time with Broad Absorption Line Quasars\n\nAbstract: Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can launch powerful winds that inject large amounts of energy and mass into their host galaxies\, potentially regulating galaxy evolution. One of the clearest observational signatures of these winds appears in broad absorption line (BAL) quasars\, whose spectra show deep\, blueshifted absorption features tracing gas traveling at tens of thousands of kilometers per second. Despite decades of study\, the physical properties of BAL winds have remained poorly understood due to the complexity of their spectra. In this talk\, I will present an overview of my research using BAL quasars to map the physical properties of SMBH winds\, enabled by SimBAL\, a spectral synthesis software that made possible the first systematic analysis of BAL quasar spectra and provided robust constraints on outflow properties for large samples of quasars. I will also discuss new discoveries of high-redshift BAL quasars from surveys such as DESI and future studies with JWST and 4MOST that will expand our understanding of SMBH outflows across cosmic time.\n\n\nCody’s Title: How Galactic Winds Influence Cosmic Ecosystems\n\nAbstract: A central insight of modern galaxy formation is that galaxies are not isolated systems\, but dynamic reservoirs of gas and stars that continuously exchange matter and energy with their surroundings.  Galactic winds—driven by stellar and AGN feedback—can expel hundreds of solar masses of gas\, dust\, and metals to distances of tens of kiloparsecs\, reshaping the structure and thermodynamics of the circumgalactic and intergalactic media. These winds regulate star formation\, curb black hole growth\, and may play a critical role in enabling the escape of ionizing radiation that reionized the Universe during the Epoch of Reionization.  In this talk\, I will discuss how the physical properties of galactic winds—including mass outflow rates—are inferred from spectral line diagnostics\, the current state of the art in radiative transfer modeling and interpretation\, and key systematic uncertainties that remain. I will then explore how winds influence the escape of ionizing photons by altering the multiphase structure of the interstellar medium. Finally\, I will outline future directions for this work and describe how next-generation facilities such as the Extremely Large Telescopes will transform absorption line studies of galactic winds.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A New World of Authoritarian Welfare?
DESCRIPTION:Moderator: Dan Slater\, Director\, U-M Center for Emerging Democracies\n\nDemocracy and social welfare have long been seen as mutually reinforcing\, but the connection is anything but universal or automatic. With illiberal and autocratic leaders around the world offering more generous welfare policies to consolidate their power\, do we need to rethink the relationships between democracy\, authoritarianism\, and welfare? Experts on Europe\, Latin America\, the Middle East\, the former Soviet Union\, and Asia tackle this topic from different world-regions and multiple analytical perspectives.\n\n*Cosponsored by the Open Society Foundations and the Central European University (CEU) Democracy Institute*.\n\nAtten in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/8qVGq.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at emergingdemocracies@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Differential Equations Seminar: Einstein-Perfect Fluid Initial Data in General Relativity
DESCRIPTION:Fluids are a standard matter source for gravitation\, going back to the early days of general relativity. Nevertheless\, constructing initial data for this family of matter models is surprisingly nuanced. In this talk we describe a novel approach to building Einstein-fluid initial data based on a recently established phase-space technique for constructing non-vacuum initial data sets. Compared to prior approaches to working with fluids\, the input parameters allow for more direct specification of physical quantities\, such as the number of particles in any given region.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Once Were Warriors: Colonial Mimesis\, Martial Masculinity\, and Imperial Nostalgia in Amazigh Morocco
DESCRIPTION:Amazigh cultural-political activism in North Africa is premised on a rhetoric of resistance for territorial autonomy against imperial invaders from the Roman empire through the Islamic conquest and the French protectorate to contemporary Arab nationalist regimes. Yet\, filtering through this dominant discourse are subaltern scripts that register nostalgia for particular pasts when\, even under colonial tutelage\, Amazigh groups felt recognized and effectively acted as self-determining agents of their own history making.  In this paper\, I draw on my research in southeastern Morocco to explore how Amazigh activists narrate the colonial past and memorialize martial masculine resistance and collaboration within it.\n\nPaul A. Silverstein is professor of anthropology at Reed College.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Steering spin–valley polarizations through phonons and photons
DESCRIPTION:Control of spin and valley polarizations opens opportunities for spintronic and quantum information applications. Monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) offer an appealing platform to harness such polarizations. TMDs host excitons in valley-shaped regions of their band structure\, featuring well-defined carrier spins and obeying chiral optical selection rules. However\, the technological potential of excitons in TMDs is impeded by rapid spin–valley relaxation.\n\nI will present our theoretical/computational efforts to address and enhance spin–valley polarizations in TMDs through strong coupling to photons. Recognizing that chiral light is a manifestation of photonic spin\, I will show such strong coupling to allow for efficient spin transduction through the formation of \"chiral polaritons\". I will furthermore show how a breaking of chiral symmetry in optical cavities allows valley–spin relaxation to be suppressed in embedded TMDs.\n\nI will also discuss our efforts to unravel how spin–valley relaxation in TMDs is driven by lattice phonons. Towards this goal\, my group has advanced nonadiabatic methodologies that allow delocalized phonon modes and topological effects to be incorporated within a mixed quantum–classical framework. Results for TMDs indicate this approach to enable the modeling of solid-state phonon-driven processes at realistic dimensionalities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:2026 Thomas Spencer Jerome Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Professor Edward Watts\, the Alkiviadis Vassiliadis Endowed Chair and Distinguished Professor of History at UC San Diego\, received his BA in Classics from Brown University in 1997 and his PhD in History from Yale University in 2002. His research centers on the intellectual\, political\, and religious history of the Roman Empire and the early Byzantine Empire. He is the author of seven books and the editor of five more\, including The Final Pagan Generation (UC Press\, 2015)\,  Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher\, (Oxford University Press\, 2017)\, Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell into Tyranny (Basic Books\, 2018)\, and The Eternal Decline and Fall of Rome: The History of a Dangerous Idea (Oxford University Press\, 2021). His most recent book\, The Romans: A 2000 Year History (Basic Books\, 2025)\, traces the history of the Roman state from the 8th century BC through 1204 AD. His work has also been featured in Time\, Vox\, Smithsonian\, the Economist\, the Wall Street Journal\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, British Museum Magazine\, and the New York Times. Before coming to UCSD in 2012\, Professor Watts taught for ten years at Indiana University. He teaches courses on Byzantine History\, Roman History\, Late Antique Christianity\, Roman numismatics\, and the history of the Medieval Mediterranean. \n\nThe Roman citizen body lived an almost inconceivably long life. Between the 8th century BC and the 15thcentury AD\, nearly 100 generations of Romans superintended a political legacy they had inherited from their ancestors and handed down to their children. Nearly every element of Roman life changed during those two millennia. The state expanded from a hilltop settlement into a massive empire. Its center moved from Italy to Constantinople. Its dominant language changed from Latin to Greek. Its weaponry evolved from iron swords and bronze spears to Greek fire and gunpowder. It incorporated countless new gods before ultimately becoming Christian. And yet the thread linking the Roman present to its past never snapped. For all of their history\, Romans used this past to help understand their world and determine the contours of its future. Tradition served as a governor on the pace of necessary change.\n\nThis Thomas Spencer Jerome lecture series introduces the idea of Roman interchronological history to explain how Romans found and maintained this balance between innovation and tradition. Interchronological history recognizes that Roman scholastic\, social\, familial\, and religious traditions created situations in which Romans in the present spoke the words and felt the feelings of figures from the real or imagined past. These ancient situations encouraged people to connect personally and emotionally with figures from the past and made it natural to see in the past a set of frameworks that allowed one to both understand the present and imagine possible futures that might result from it. \n\nThese lectures explain how Roman educational\, family\, religious\, and literary culture produced this way of interpreting the present and imagining the future through deep engagement with the past. They will then show how an interchronological approach to Roman history expands our understanding of everything from the political power of Roman women to the nature of Iconoclasm and the surprising durability of the Roman bond market. By their conclusion\, the lectures will point to new ways to answer questions about the Roman past and suggest non-Roman contexts in which this historical method can also be applied.\n \nProfessor Watts will present four lectures and one seminar between March 9 and 19\, 2026: \n\n• What is Interchronological Roman History? Monday\, March 9\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League\nThis lecture reconstructs an interchronological historical method based on how Romans were educated and socialized to connect with the words\, experiences\, and feelings of people in their shared past in a fashion that ensured their reactions in the moment and plans for the future remained connected to the traditions of the past.\n\n• Interchronological History and the Political Power of Roman Women\, Thursday\, March 12\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League\nUsing an interchronological approach\, this lecture shows how literature\, public commemorations\, and monuments encouraged Romans of both genders to recognize the political power of Roman women by speaking the words of female political exemplars\, feeling their emotions\, and understanding the circumstances surrounding their political interventions.  \n\n• Classical Studies Graduate Student Seminar: Containerization and the Creation of Interchronological Spaces in Imperial Rome\, Friday\, March 13\, 12:00 pm \nThis seminar will look at how the creators and sponsors of a series of monuments in Rome curated space to generate an experience that joined the present in which the monument was unveiled with elements of the past to define a transition to a promised future. Using the theory of artistic containerization\, we will see how each space was designed to showcase elements of the Roman past in a way that channeled specific themes important to both the present identity of the monument’s sponsor and a future they were promising to deliver.\n\n• An Interchronological Approach to Roman Religion and Political History  Monday\, March 16\, 5\;30 pm\, Vandenberg Room\, Michigan League\nThis lecture explains how an interchronological history of Roman religion and politics can help us understand why this basic understanding of the role of the divine in shaping the tangible realities of Roman life persisted as Roman religion evolved from the practices of a small pagan city state into those of a large Christian empire.\n\n• The Failures of Justin II and the Case for Interchronological Roman Macroeconomic History\, Thursday\, March 19\, 5:30 pm\, Hussey Room\, Michigan League \nThis uses an interchronological comparative framework to reconstruct the institutional history of Roman finance and macroeconomics in order to explain how the sixth century emperor Justin II inadvertently crippled Rome's nearly 800-year-old financial system.

A sought-after resilience expert and recognized \"Soul Igniter\" in Oprah’s inaugural SuperSoul 100\, Senghor captivates and transforms audiences worldwide with his extraordinary journey from incarceration to influence. Through raw authenticity and profound insight\, he shares not only his story but also the resilience practices that fueled his own remarkable transformation\, showing that reinvention is not just possible—it is within everyone’s reach.\n\nIn How To Be Free\, Senghor offers a roadmap for breaking free from the self-doubt\, past narratives\, and fear of failure he calls \"Hidden Prisons.\" Drawing from lessons he learned during his 19 years in prison—including seven in solitary—he reveals the mindset and daily practices that transformed his life and can help anyone build their own foundation of freedom. Through journaling\, meditation\, mindfulness\, and creative expression\, he shows how to turn vision into action and step into full potential\, from deepening relationships to achieving career success.\n\nListening to How To Be Free\, audiences learn to transform setbacks into comebacks\, discover sustainable joy\, cultivate composure under pressure\, turn vulnerability into strength\, break cycles of grief and shame\, protect their energy while supporting others\, and create a personal blueprint to true freedom.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CAS 2026 Annual Dr. Berj H. Haidostian Distinguished Lecture. Threading the Tapestry for a Future Armenia
DESCRIPTION:For the 2026 Dr. Berj H. Haidostian Distinguished Lecture\, artist Levon Kafafian\, with visual culture scholar Marie-Aude Baronian will host a salon-style discussion on the foci and output of Kafafian’s practice through the metaphor of weaving as world-building. The conversation will revolve around the central place of textiles in Kafafian’s work and the possibilities inherent in communicating through textile media. Threads of discussion will examine how they navigate Armenian-ness through materiality and what emerges when invoking Armenian material culture traditions and iconographies into a distinctly darorinagvadz (queered) artistic production. Threading the Tapestry for a Future Armenia reflects upon the possibility of making an Armenian future through creative practice.\n   \n   Webinar ID\n   981 9783 9327\n   https://umich.zoom.us/j/98197839327\n\nCosponsors: National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR)\, Institute for the Humanities\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

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:CAS Exhibit. Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n     Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n   \n     Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Maggie Makar\, Assistant Professor\, Computer Science and Engineering\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Machine learning models are often deployed in settings where typical assumptions fail: agents strategically manipulate inputs\, distributions shift\, and sequential decisions are prohibitively high-dimensional. I argue that causal structure provides a principled way to address these challenges. By viewing causal assumptions as structural constraints that restrict the space of plausible data-generating processes\, we can leverage them to obtain more robust and efficient estimators.\nFirst\, I will show how causal reasoning can be used to detect strategic misreporting and gaming in predictive models. The key insight is that\, unlike genuine behavioral adaptation\, misreporting does not causally influence downstream variables. By leveraging this asymmetry\, we obtain identification strategies that distinguish manipulation from legitimate change.\nSecond\, I will demonstrate how exploiting causal structure in reinforcement learning can reduce effective dimensionality and improve statistical efficiency. Structural assumptions induce conditional independencies that constrain the data-generating process\, enabling more stable estimation and sharper sample complexity guarantees.\nFinally\, I will introduce minimally orthogonal causal inference. While classical orthogonalization removes first-order sensitivity to nuisance estimation\, we show that weaker\, targeted orthogonality conditions are often sufficient for valid inference. This perspective leads to simpler estimators and improved finite-sample behavior without sacrificing asymptotic guarantees.

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:American Institutions Group
DESCRIPTION:The American Institutions Group (AIG) is a Rackham interdisciplinary workshop for faculty and graduate students that meets twice a month to discuss recent and forthcoming research on American political institutions (e.g. Congress\, the presidency\, state legislatures and executives\, the courts\, and the bureaucracy). Our key goals are to offer new and varied perspectives for graduate students to harness in their own dissertation work on American political institutions\; encourage conversations that breed new research ideas\; and spur innovative collaborations among our participants. AIG participants are scholars in political science\, public health\, social work\, public policy\, and economics interested in examinations of American political institutions from the perspective of these disciplines.\n\nFaculty Coordinators: Charles R.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Transpolitics of Postcolonial Orders
DESCRIPTION:Colonial power does not simply disappear at independence. It mutates\, reappearing through contemporary institutions\, political discourses\, and racial hierarchies\, complicating any clean break between colonial and postcolonial eras. Ann Laura Stoler’s concept of duress captures this ongoing condition: colonial power persists as a lived\, material\, and affective force\, embedded in social life even when presumed to be over.\n\nRacialized and minoritized communities actively confront and reshape these postcolonial conditions. In France\, for example\, immigrant communities and descendants of colonial subjects engage in memory-work\, cultural production\, and political mobilization to challenge assimilationist ideologies\, securitized Islamophobia\, and exclusionary myths of national universalism. These interventions contest dominant narratives of belonging and insist on political futures that reckon with imperial histories rather than disavow them.\n\nJoin us for a panel that examines how postcolonial orders are inhabited\, contested\, and reimagined across diverse contexts.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar> Synthetic Circuits\, Natural Questions
DESCRIPTION:How do bacterial cells process information and use signals to direct development and resist antibiotics? In this talk\, I'll describe how my lab is building modular cell-based signaling pathways that enable us to probe the activity and rewire the function of natural ones. Our current work has uncovered compartment-specific signaling cascades\, and developing synthetic receptors has let us reprogram how cells respond to their environment for biosensor development. I'll also discuss how we navigate the design-discovery loop and leverage evolutionary diversity to develop tools that address challenges in both technology and fundamental science. Collectively\, our work demonstrates how engineering-driven approaches can yield practical biotechnologies and\, in the process\, deepen our understanding of natural biological systems.\n\nHost: Lyle Simmons

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: The Most Brilliant Human Mind
DESCRIPTION:Screening of the documentary film\, \"The Most Brilliant Human Mind.\"\n\nSynopsis\nJohn von Neumann\, one of the most incredible Hungarian-born scientists of all time\, was named Man of the Century by the Financial Times in 1999.\n\nAmong other scientific works\, Neumann pioneered game theory and\, along with Alan Turing and Claude Shannon\, was one of the conceptual inventors of the stored-program digital computer. In late 1943 Neumann began to work on the Manhattan Project at the invitation of J. Robert Oppenheimer\, and helped to design the first atomic bomb.\n\nThis biography showcases the famous mathematician's work and legacy from the perspective of his daughter and colleagues. It is based on artefacts and documents from scientific history collections and on the personal memories of Marina von Neumann Whitman\, Neumann's daughter.\n\nThe film's production team has been filming all around the world\, from Budapest to Los Alamos and Princeton\, with the participation of several Hungarian and American scientists.\n\nThe NERS Colloquia Series invites leading researchers\, industry experts\, and thought leaders from across the nuclear engineering and radiological sciences community to share their insights with students\, faculty\, and guests. Covering a wide range of topics—from cutting-edge research and emerging technologies to policy\, education\, and professional development—the weekly talks offer an opportunity to explore current issues and innovations shaping the future of the field.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Incentives and the Social Fabric of Organizations
DESCRIPTION:When do incentives work\, and when and why do they backfire? How do incentives interact with the social context of organizations in which the incentives are used? This talk presents evidence from a series of field experiments\, and it draws on relational incentives theory to reconcile seemingly divergent findings. In the first experiment\, social recognition incentives had positive and enduring effects on volunteer retention at Wikipedia. In contrast\, a second field experiment in healthcare reveals how social recognition incentives backfired\, undermining physicians’ well-being at work. A third study\, conducted in the same healthcare setting\, shows that a form of participation incentive—a co-creation initiative with physicians—enhanced physician motivation and organizational citizenship behaviors. This research program dissects the reciprocal influences of incentives and social relationships to study how they jointly shape motivation\, behavior\, and well-being\, with implications for designing more effective incentive systems.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Frobenius Identities in Combinatorics (Combinatorics seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Several recent proofs of unimodality theorems in combinatorics rely on unexpected identities satisfied by the volume map on combinatorially defined algebras over fields of characteristic p. The proof of unimodality for the h-vector of simplicial spheres by Papadakis–Petrotou and for the h^*-vector of IDP and Gorenstein lattice polytopes by Adiprasito–Papadakis–Petrotou both fit into this framework. In this talk\, we reinterpret the volume map from the perspective of commutative algebra and explain the origin of these identities. This viewpoint yields short proofs and suggests new research directions. This is joint work with Adiprasito\, Oba\, Papadakis\, and Petrotou.

SUMMARY:Presentation:The Origin of Metals in Galaxy Clusters - Characterizing the Early Enrichment Population
DESCRIPTION:Metals (anything heavier than Helium) are made by stars\, but when and where those stars existed in the Universe is an outstanding problem. X-ray observations show that the hot\, X-ray emitting gas surrounding galaxy clusters\, the intracluster medium (ICM)\, has a nearly universal metallicity of ZICM ≈ 0.4Z⊙. This metallicity is largely independent of stellar fraction\, M∗/Mgas\, and exceeds what is expected from present-day stellar populations under standard initial mass functions (IMFs). This discrepancy is known as the missing metal conundrum. Many theories have been posed to explain this mismatch\, but fault has been found to each when compared with observations. The primary remaining theory yet to be disproved is the existence of an Early Enrichment Population (EEP) - a predominantly high-mass stellar population at z ∼ 10 − 6 that enriched the ICM while leaving a minimal surviving population. In this dissertation\, I develop and test a quantitative framework for the EEP by combining detailed X-ray measurements\, chemical evolution models\, and constraints from supernovae and galaxy luminosity functions. I do this through a homogeneous study of 26 galaxy groups and clusters using archival XMM-Newton data\, measuring radial metallicity profiles and the deriving the relation between ZICM and M∗/Mgas. With this I show that an additional metal component\, ZEEP is required even when updated yields\, remnants\, and non closed-box behavior in groups are taken into account when deriving the contribution from the visible stellar populations\, Z∗. I then construct theoretical models for the EEP\, exploring a range of IMFs and using Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) rates to identify IMFs that reproduce both the required metal yield and present-day observables. I further constrain the low-mass end of the EEP IMF by requiring that the residual light from long-lived EEP stars not exceed the observed luminosity of dwarf elliptical galaxies that dominate the low-luminosity component of cluster luminosity functions. Together\, these results provide the first observationally anchored\, testable constraints on the EEP and its IMF\, and establish concrete predictions for high-redshift supernovae and dwarf galaxy light that can be probed with current and future telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Sensitivity limits from the geometry of nonequilibirum response
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Many biophysical processes can be accurately modeled as a system stochastically exploring a discrete and connected network of possible states. Probability distributions over this space are not only subject to the system's intrinsic noisy dynamics\, but may also be influenced by externally imposed perturbations. While results such as the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem allow for a precise understanding of how such perturbations may affect observable quantities on the system\, these only properly function at equilibrium. Here\, we explore the case of perturbations on nonequilibrium stochastic systems and derive a new response formula based on the Matrix-Tree Theorem approach. In particular\, we derive the tightest possible linear bounds to sensitivity in arbitrary observables based on only the topology of the state network. These bounds stem from achetypical primitive models we call \"uniquely constructable sets\" that dictate the system properties under extreme conditions. As an exploratory example\, we investigate a model of a macromolecule with three ligand binding sites to showcase how the uniquely constructable sets can be used to find all possible variations that are capable of maximizing the sensitivity of the number of bound sites relative to the external ligand concentration.\n\nContact:  AIM Seminar Organizers

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department Colloquium: Dilip Ninan (Tufts)
DESCRIPTION:Title: The Puzzle of Known Violation\n\nAbstract: \nSuppose it is true that I should sell all my possessions and give the money to the poor. Then it would seem to follow that I should sell all my possessions. This piece of reasoning is underwritten by a principle known as Inheritance: if p entails q\, then \"should p\" entails \"should q\". But Åqvist (1967) pointed out some apparent counterexamples to Inheritance: \"Max should have known he was breaking a rule\" does not entail \"Max should have been breaking a rule\" even though \"Max knew he was breaking a rule\" entails \"Max was breaking a rule\". I argue that Åqvist's observation is an instance of something more general: for many p and q where p entails and presupposes q\, \"should p\" does not entail \"should q\". I sketch a semantics that accommodates this fact while still preserving the truth of many instances of Inheritance. Finally\, I show that our discussion has consequences for a rather different debate in philosophy\, as it seems to undermine a recent argument against the knowledge account of assertion.\n\n\nResearch/Areas of Interest\nPhilosophy of Language\, Metaphysics\, Philosophy of Mind\n\nEducation\nPhD in Philosophy\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Cambridge\, United States\, 2008\nMSc in Economic and Social History\, University of Oxford\, Oxford\, United Kingdom\, 2002\nBPhil in Philosophy\, University of Oxford\, Oxford\, United Kingdom\, 2001\nBA in Philosophy\, University of Western Ontario\, London\, Canada\, 1999\n\nBiography\nDilip Ninan received his Ph.D. from MIT\, B.Phil. from Oxford University\, and B.A. from the University of Western Ontario. Before coming to Tufts\, he spent three years as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.\n\nHis research interests include the philosophy of language\, formal semantics\, metaphysics\, and the philosophy of mind. He has worked on the representation of de se and de re attitudes\, the nature of personal identity over time\, and on foundational questions in semantics.\n\nWhen not philosophizing\, he enjoys reading\, running\, cooking\, and skiing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sociocultural Anthropology Colloquium | “Working the Loops: Co-Constructing Painful Bodies and Categories in Thailand”
DESCRIPTION:“In the U.S.\, patients and practitioners usually imagine that pain is a thing\, that one’s approach to it may change how one copes with it\, but not the pain itself. This is connected to medicine’s insistence on a ‘view from nowhere\,’ perceiving nature without changing it. Meanwhile\, STS scholars have long taught us about looping effects between categories and the world. In this talk\, I present ethnography on painful bodies in Thailand\, where the idea of looping between category and reality is part of everyday cosmology. I share about: doctors who worry that giving ‘chronic pain’ a diagnostic code will bring it into being\; monks who suspect that pain equals fear-of-death\, leading them to induce near-death experiences\; anesthesiologists with evidence that poor Thai patients need less anesthesia during surgery (because lifelong pain-as-necessity crafts brains with low-pain neurotransmitter profiles?)\; and patients who dream that pain is a reincarnated being and awake with different pain. Through this ontological adventure\, I ask whether STS might benefit not just from ethically identifying co-constructionism as a sociohistorical force\, but also from examining times and places where people work co-constructionism to their advantage as a matter of course.”\n\nScott Stonington is a medical and cultural anthropologist\, and an internal medicine physician. His research broadly addresses the globalization of biomedical ethics and expertise. His first project in this area focused on decision-making at the end of life in Thailand\, where individuals face a complex combination of ethical frameworks generated by high-tech medical care\, human-rights politics\, and the metaphysical demands of dying. Dr. Stonington spent two years accompanying Thai elders at their deathbeds\, documenting their children’s attempts to pay back their “debt of life” via intensive medical care\, as well as the ensuing “spirit ambulance\,” a rush to get patients on life-support home at the last possible moment to orchestrate the final breath in a spiritually advantageous place. Dr. Stonington’s second project in this area focuses on global debates over the use of opiates for pain management. He spent a year accompanying patients in severe pain in Northern Thailand as they navigated their suffering within a fraught ethical environment\, from Thailand’s brutal drug war\, to its Buddhist-based value for pain as a spiritual path\, to a broader global ambivalence about how best to treat pain. Dr. Stonington’s secondary research agenda addresses medical epistemology in the U.S.\, specifically how health practitioners decide what constitutes true and/or useful knowledge and how this affects patients. This work grows out of his ongoing practice as an Internal Medicine physician\, both in the hospital and in primary care.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Calabi-Yau varieties\, essential skeleta\, and Berkovich spaces
DESCRIPTION:Associated to a Calabi--Yau (e.g. abelian varieties\, K3 surfaces)\, one can associate an essential skeleton\, which lives in the Berkovich analytification of the Calabi--Yau. This skeleton originates from mirror symmetry and captures geometrical and topological information of the Calabi--Yau. For example\, it is related to the birational geometry of the Calabi--Yau\, and in some situations the Calabi--Yau admits a Lagrangian fibration over this skeleton. \nWe will only assume knowledge of the definition of Calabi--Yaus and will introduce by examples.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Marina Suarez
DESCRIPTION:The Early Cretaceous is an important time of transition in Earth History. During this time significant variability in the carbon cycle likely affected the trajectory of the climate system and the evolution of life. Records\, especially continental\, of the Early Cretaceous are still poorly constrained. Even the base of what is considered the Cretaceous System is not clearly defined. To this end multiple investigations are ongoing to improve our understanding of the timing of Early Cretaceous continental rock records and to provide more quantitative paleoclimate records during this important time. Here I summarize the results to date of efforts to improve Early Cretaceous chronostratigraphic constraint of rock records as well as climate records for this time\; especially of the Western margin of the Western Interior Basin and northwestern China). Our efforts so far indicate that many of the Early Cretaceous units we investigate are only partially contemporaneous and for some locations extend deeper into the Cretaceous than previously expected. Climate parameters are consistent with the prevailing interpretations of the Cretaceous as a greenhouse climate\, but variation in these records show instances of cooler than expected temperatures during some times.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Friday Night AI
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is emerging as a powerful tool used in an increasing number of applications\, including efforts to improve how we use and conserve energy\, from optimizing heating and cooling systems in buildings to coordinating smart grids\, forecasting demand\, and identifying new opportunities for efficiency across industries. At the same time\, training and deploying large AI models requires vast computational resources and significant amounts of electricity\, raising concerns about carbon emissions and other air pollution\, water consumption\, and the long-term energy footprint of AI itself. How can we harness AI’s benefits while avoiding the escalating costs of running increasingly large systems? What role can smaller models\, hardware advances\, and new design practices play in making AI more sustainable? Join us for a conversation with experts in AI & systems and energy and environmental law as we explore how to balance innovation with environmental responsibility.  With interactive activities by graduate students Snehal Prabhudesai and Yara El-Tawil\n\nPanelists: Mosharaf Chowdhury\, Alexandra Klass\nModerator: Rada Mihalcea\n\nRada Mihalcea is the Janice M.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dar Williams
DESCRIPTION:New music!\n\n“It’s a highway\, filled with deep\, exotic colors and beautiful delicate things as well as the perils that come from moving so fast\,” says Dar Williams\, describing modern life. On her 13th album\, Hummingbird Highway\, out September 12 on Righteous Babe Records\, Williams celebrates the colors she glimpses from her vantage as a touring musician. “I was a kid from the suburbs who listened when her hippie teachers said to get out in the world\,” Williams muses. Hummingbird Highway is the latest chapter in a richly unfolding story. Drawing on her experience as a playwright\, Williams populates her latest album with nuanced characters that come alive in the space of a few minutes.

SUMMARY:Performance:Fawn
DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor of Dance Charli Brissey directs and performs in this hour-long show created through interrelated experiments in dance\, writing\, video\, and sound. The choreography includes the design of an original surround sound score which will be experienced “in the round” by audience members\, as well as lighting by Design and Production faculty Jess Fialko.\n\nWhile the word “fawn” is most commonly used to refer to a baby deer\, another meaning of the word describes a trauma response in which someone tries to appease a threat and/or ensure survival through flattery or cringing. The word “fawn” is also commonly confused with “faun\,” a human-animal deity and the protagonist of Nijinsky’s famously controversial ballet “Afternoon of a Faun.” This performance weaves these various etymological and mythological lineages of “fawn” and “faun” into an inherently queer dreamscape that asks questions about grief\, survival\, desire\, power\, and vulnerability in a precarious ecosystem. The performance blends methods and practices from both autofiction and science fiction\, weaving the artists’ lived experiences with speculative experiments in how to hold immense contradictions and overwhelming emotional states in one body.\n\nAge Recommendation: 12+\nTickets Required (free and donation)\n\nhttps://www.charliisananimal.com/\n\n*This performance is made possible through generous support from the University of Michigan Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration Grant (ARIA)\, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG)\, the Research\, Catalyst\, and Innovation Program (RCI)\, and the Department of Dance.*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

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:CAS Exhibit. Հմայարան / Hmayaran by Levon Kafafian (Detroit-based Artist)
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Opening: March 12\, 2026\nExhibit Dates: March 12-30\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\nSet within Kafafian's speculative future world Azadistan—a place of magic and spirits beyond a digital collapse\, Հմայարան / Hmayaran is an immersive shrine housing a series of soft-sculptural artifacts reimagining objects Armenians have traditionally crafted for spiritual power and protection.\n \n     Kafafian's focus in this exhibition is on the marks Armenians carve into stone\, clay and wood to imbue meaning\, memory and magic into their lived environments\, particularly as part of folk traditions outside of the realms of church and state.\n   \n     Channeled from the collective Armenian diasporic imaginary\, Kafafian's Portal Fire series depicts a narrative story that emerges from the materials as they are brought into relationship through weaving\, dyeing\, embellishment and thread. In this story world hybrid cultural practices and alternative spiritual modes develop from embodied traditions in response to the changing physical and cultural landscape of Southwest Asia in a future where technological catastrophe has severed global communications and erased digital archives. The multi-ethnic society of Azadistan takes shape through installations\, objects\, texts and performances manifesting the multiplicity of Aremenian-ness through the dimensions of a complicated past and its potential for a vibrant\, evolving futurity.\n\nCosponsor: Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Wayward Images
DESCRIPTION:March 9-April 3\, 2026\n--\nThe public is cordially invited to an artist's reception on Wednesday\, March 27th at 4:30 pm in the RC Art Gallery.\n--\n\nPublic Workshop: On March 19th from 1 to 3pm\, join exhibiting artist Stamps School of Art & Design Assistant Professor Angela Chen for a collaborative bookmaking workshop! Drawing on the themes from her latest book and exhibition After School 課後\, participants are invited to critique educational systems by cutting up old textbooks and creating new photocopy collages. All materials will be provided\, but participants are welcome to bring their own texts to deconstruct!\n\n--\nAngela Chen - Artist Statement: Angela Chen’s After School brings together collage\, sculpture\, and new and historical photographs to unpack the culture of after school tutoring centers in California. Known as 補習班 (buxiban) in Chinese\, after schools are referred to colloquially as “cram schools” and by scholars as “shadow education.” Operating simultaneously as spaces of community\, care\, and control\, these schools can be demanding and factory-like\; but they also deliver essential childcare services to busy parents\, many of whom are new immigrants. As a child and young adult\, Chen attended and worked at Futurelink School\, a buxiban and her parents’ business. Located in the San Gabriel Valley\, CA\, Futurelink served hundreds of primarily East Asian students\, providing them with homework help and supplemental English and math lessons. Inspired by Futurelink’s vast archive of photographs\, workbooks\, objects\, and advertisements\, After School explores the role of education in Asian American enclaves and challenges stereotypes about Asian American students. Assemblages combine Futurelink photographs with photographs of California Chinese schools during the Chinese Exclusion era to reflect on the ongoing legacies of racism\, segregation\, and US immigration policy within the Asian American experience.\n\nAaron Turner - Artist Statement: Aaron Turner’s Black Alchemy (2014 - Present) speaks to the broad spectrum of identity and speculative aesthetics\, drawing from lived experience\, archives\, American history\, and art history. He uses the light in combination with the Darkroom\, alternative and 19th-century printing processes\, the view camera (4x5 & 8x10)\, geometric abstraction\, assemblage\, and monochromatic pictorial experimentation to respond to internal questions about representation\, the discursive enterprise\, and the artists' role in the studio space.\nBlack Alchemy provides a lens through which he sees the world while simultaneously considering the past\, present\, and future\, translating knowledge and perspective outside the intellectual studio space.\n\nRicky Weaver - Artist Statement: Ricky Weaver’s work co-conspires with the poetics and temporality of Black feminist metaphysics embeded in the Black Quotidian. These images locate a code that can be traced back to the Middle Passage—one that disrupts the paradigmatic ways of archiving Blackness and outsmarts surveillance technologies as such. Her application of scripture\, hymn\, and colloquial passages come together in acts of dark sousveillance to recall language that implies worlds that don’t require an escape. She addresses the sonic\, linguistic\, and visual as a way to posture the body as a central apparatus for storing\, downloading\, and transferring archives.

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 | Magnets and Amplitudes: A Glimpse into the Quantum Realm
DESCRIPTION:Aaron Chan\, \"Extreme Magnetic Fields: How and Why\"\nLaboratory experimental apparatus can produce magnetic fields up to 100T—about 30 times stronger than hospital MRI machines and 10\,000 times larger than a regular fridge magnet. In this talk\, I will discuss the cutting-edge technology used by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory to produce such powerful magnetic fields and the interesting physical phenomena probed in such extreme environments. \n\nJustin Berman\, \"Bootstrapping High-Energy Theories from Low-Energy Clues\"\nA key goal of particle physics theories is to predict how particles scatter off one another. However\, experimentally probing these interactions at very high energies is extremely difficult. In this talk\, I explain how fundamental principles of physics let us “bootstrap” low-energy data into predictions about high-energy particles\, independent of the underlying theory. By using this bootstrap technique\, I show that we can find upper and lower limits on the masses of particles in an approximation of the real world\, which predict the existence and properties of a massive particle that has not yet been observed.\n\nWe celebrate the Van Loo Family Student Presentations this Saturday!\n\nLecture and Q&A\, live-streamed on: https://myumi.ch/5kVRx

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

SUMMARY:Performance:BeauSoleil
DESCRIPTION:Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!\n\nFor the past 50 years\, BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet has been making some of the most potent and popular Cajun music on the planet. Born out of the rich Acadian ancestry of its members\, and created and driven by bandleader Michael Doucet’s spellbinding fiddle playing and soulful vocals\, BeauSoleil is notorious for bringing even the most staid audience to its feet. BeauSoleil’s distinctive sound derives from the distilled spirits of New Orleans jazz\, blues rock\, folk\, swamp pop\, Zydeco\, country and bluegrass\, captivating listeners from the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans\, to Carnegie Hall\, then all the way across the pond to Richard Thompson’s Meltdown Festival in England.\n\nTheir most recent album was titled “From Bamako to Carencro\,” alluding the cultural and migratory connection between Bamako\, in Mali\, West Africa\, and Louisiana (symbolized in name by the Lafayette\, LA suburb of Carencro)\, a connection that draws a sonic bloodline back to BeauSoleil’s roots. Since becoming the first Cajun band to win a GRAMMY with “L’amour Ou La Folie” (their Traditional Folk Album – 1998) and then a second Grammy in 2010\, “Live at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival”\, BeauSoleil has garnered many accolades\, including twelve GRAMMY nominations. They are regular guests on Garrison Keillor’s NPR show A Prairie Home Companion\, where Keillor has dubbed them as “the best Cajun band in the world\,” and their music is so integral to the Cajun culture that they have been featured on the New Orleans–based hit HBO program “Treme”. Critics unanimously agree that it is “bon temps\, every time they play\,” (New York Times).

SUMMARY:Performance:Fawn
DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor of Dance Charli Brissey directs and performs in this hour-long show created through interrelated experiments in dance\, writing\, video\, and sound. The choreography includes the design of an original surround sound score which will be experienced “in the round” by audience members\, as well as lighting by Design and Production faculty Jess Fialko.\n\nWhile the word “fawn” is most commonly used to refer to a baby deer\, another meaning of the word describes a trauma response in which someone tries to appease a threat and/or ensure survival through flattery or cringing. The word “fawn” is also commonly confused with “faun\,” a human-animal deity and the protagonist of Nijinsky’s famously controversial ballet “Afternoon of a Faun.” This performance weaves these various etymological and mythological lineages of “fawn” and “faun” into an inherently queer dreamscape that asks questions about grief\, survival\, desire\, power\, and vulnerability in a precarious ecosystem. The performance blends methods and practices from both autofiction and science fiction\, weaving the artists’ lived experiences with speculative experiments in how to hold immense contradictions and overwhelming emotional states in one body.\n\nAge Recommendation: 12+\nTickets Required (free and donation)\n\nhttps://www.charliisananimal.com/\n\n*This performance is made possible through generous support from the University of Michigan Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration Grant (ARIA)\, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG)\, the Research\, Catalyst\, and Innovation Program (RCI)\, and the Department of Dance.*

SUMMARY:Performance:Blackthorn
DESCRIPTION:A Celtic tapestry\n\nMembers of the Michigan Irish American Hall of Fame\, Blackthorn offers shows that involve a musical ramble across Ireland. Traditional songs of emigration\, ballads\, shanties and jigs and reels combine with some of Ireland's best contemporary songs for a musical experience that is uniquely Irish. Each of the band's members plays multiple instruments\, including flute\, accordion\, tin whistle\, fiddle\, banjo\, cittern\, bodhran\, and more. These instruments complement the lead vocal of Belfast native Richard McMullan and the band's tight blend of four-part harmony. This band has been bringing a rich tapestry of Celtic music to southeast Michigan and beyond for 40 years\, and they're a must-see for those who want to know the deep traditions of Irish music in Michigan.
