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.

The event centers on the universal idea that we were all once children\, using nostalgia as a bridge to foster empathy\, belonging\, and cross-cultural understanding. For the Vietnamese community\, being far from home\, the program offers a comforting reminder of familiar traditions\, while international guests gain a meaningful window into everyday life growing up in Vietnam. The showcase begins with a cultural presentation exploring the environments\, values\, and experiences that shape Vietnamese childhood. This is followed by an original dance performance set to traditional music\, choreographed and performed by student members to preserve authenticity and community voice. Attendees will be invited to join a traditional Vietnamese bamboo dance\, a lively folk activity many Vietnamese children grow up watching or trying at festivals\, school events\, and community gatherings. The final segment features an interactive workshop highlighting classic Vietnamese childhood games\, creating space for laughter\, learning\, and shared experience.

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

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:Flyways
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration\, political exile\, queerness\, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

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.

Why?  Because our aspiration is to not only discover new knowledge but also new principles.  Accomplishing this higher goal requires intellectual curiosity\, adventurousness\, and nimbleness (and a sense of humor!).  The lab is best known for its work on regulation of chromatin\, RNA-based regulation\, and host-fungal pathogen interactions (see our publications here).  Depending on the question\, the lab exploits different model systems\, including the opportunistic pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans\, which the lab has developed as both a model organism and a model pathogen\, as well as mice and haploid human cells.

SUMMARY:Presentation:FORMS: Etiquette and Piety in Safavid Marriage
DESCRIPTION:Please join The Forum for Research in Medieval Studies (FoRMS) on Monday\, March 23rd\, in 1014 Tisch for a presentation from Glenn Ellis (Middle East Studies) titled \"Etiquette and Piety in Safavid Marriage\". This presentation will explore the etiquette of marriage as seen in a Safavid Shī’ī compendium of hadith\, Ḥilyat al-Mottaqīn or The Adornment of the Pious\, written by Moḥammad-Bāqir Majlisī\, a significant scholar. Published in 1671 in Persian\, Majlisī’s book was intended for an everyday audience and describes quotidian customs in great detail. One of the most striking hadith in the chapter on marriage notes prohibited and exhorted times of day for sexual intercourse\, and it further reveals medical ideas of generation and ways to ensure the morality of one’s offspring and thus society as a whole. This chapter is a useful case study on the expectations held of marriage\, and indicates the specificity of religious instruction for one who wanted to be an exemplary Muslim. By studying this text\, we can gain a richer picture of the expectations\, ideals\, and boundaries of Safavid marriage as well as ideals of reproduction.\n\nGlenn Ellis is a first year PhD student in Middle Eastern Studies. They graduated from Hampshire College in 2022 with a concentration in Medieval Middle Eastern History\, and their thesis focused on race and race-making in Persian mirrors for princes and epic poems. Interested in Persian literature very broadly\, they also Judeo-Persian\, Judeo-Arabic\, and Arabic\, and use these languages to better contextualize Persian poetry. Their interests include race and race-making\, romance and epic\, and comparative poetics. In their spare time they enjoy cooking\, baking without a recipe\, and fiber arts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Statistical and Practical Study of Deploying Fair\, Safe\, and Productive AI
DESCRIPTION:This thesis presents a series of results that study the deployment of fair\, safe\, and productive AI. We begin in Chapter one by both motivating and introducing the three topics of study: algorithmic fairness in performative prediction\, weak-to-strong generalization\, and benchmarking AI adoption and capability across the economy. Additionally\, a brief synopsis of the results we will present in subsequent chapters is included.\n\nIn Chapter 2\, we study the problem of enforcing fairness under distribution shift caused by human behavior. This distribution shift is known as performativity and is often caused by the reactions of individuals with vested interests in the outcome of the predictive model. While performativity is generally problematic\, as it leads to changes in the data at test time\,  we develop algorithmic fairness practices that leverage performativity to achieve stronger group fairness guaranties in social classification problems (compared to what is achievable in non-performative settings). In particular\, we show that it is possible to enforce traditionally conflicting group fairness definitions if performativity is present. \n\nIn Chapter 3\, we study the problem of superalignment through the analogy of weak to strong generalization\; or using weaker (less capable) feedback to train a stronger (more capable) model. We prove that weak-to-strong generalization is possible by eliciting latent knowledge from pre-trained LLMs. In particular\, we cast the weak-to-strong generalization problem as a transfer learning problem in which we wish to transfer a latent concept from a weak model to a strong pre-trained model. We prove that a naive fine-tuning approach suffers from fundamental limitations\, but an alternative refinement-based approach suggested by the problem structure provably overcomes the limitations of fine-tuning. Finally\, we demonstrate the practical applicability of the refinement approach in multiple LLM alignment tasks.\n\nFinally\, in Chapter 4\, we work towards measuring both AI adoption and the capability of AI to perform discrete labor tasks across various occupations. To  measure adoption\, we develop an open-source economic index that uses publicly available user-LLM chat data and O*NET tasks to replicate studies produced by leading AI labs. To measure capabilities\, we build a system that generates benchmark scenarios grounded in O*NET occupations\, tasks\, and model-context-protocol (MCP) servers. We test Kimi-K2-Thinking with an OpenAI harness on scenarios across 13 occupations appearing frequently in our index\, finding that there is ample room for improvement across tool calling\, workflow completion\, and hallucination rates.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Curating Human Remains with Respect: A Collaborative Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Because many anthropological collections were established during the 19th and early 20th centuries\, attempts to trace their origins can become a research topic with its own history. Join the U-M Department of Anthropology and guests from the Hungarian National Museum for a collaborative presentation on how researchers from multiple countries can support each other’s work to identify the provenience of human remains collections with respect and expertise. These collaborators will explain how their research traced the origins of human remains in U-M Anthropology’s collection\, establishing connections to the work of Austrian anthropologist Felix von Luschan (1854–1924) and early-1900s Hungarian antiquities dealer József Lichtneckert.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Realizing a Polarized 3He++ Ion Source at Brookhaven National Lab with Metastability Exchange Optical Pumping
DESCRIPTION:A high intensity (2 x 10ˆ11 ions per pulse) polarized 3He++ ion source is being developed at BNL for use at the future Electron Ion Collider (EIC). The helium gas will be polarized using a novel technique based on metastability-exchange optical pumping (MEOP) in the 5T field of the existing Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS)\, where it can be ionized and prepared for injection into the Booster. An infrared laser system has been developed for optical pumping and measuring the polarization of the gas inside of the EBIS field. Previous results in a test setup have shown up to 80% polarization for ultra-pure 3He in an “open” cell configuration\, with isolation valve and refilling tubes closed. Now\, the setup has been moved into an exact copy of the EBIS magnet to prepare for final integration and injection into the Booster. An absolute nuclear polarimeter and spin-rotator has been constructed to measure the 3He polarization near 6 MeV in the EBIS to Booster transit line. The ion source will be an essential component of future polarized neutron studies at the planned Electron Ion Collider (EIC). \n\nIn this seminar\, I will provide a brief introduction to the theory behind the MEOP process and a discussion of relevant technical challenges in implementing the source at BNL. The status of the project and plans for integration and polarization measurements inside of EBIS during the 2026 RHIC shutdown will be presented.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Algebraic theory of indefinite theta functions
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Jacobi's theta function $\Theta(q) := 1 + 2q + 2q^4 + 2q^9 + \cdots $\, and more generally the theta functions associated to positive-definite quadratic forms\, have the property that they are modular forms of half-integral weight. The usual proof of this fact is completely analytic in nature\, using the Poisson summation formula. However\, $\Theta$ is also related to diffusion of heat on a uniform circle-shaped material: it is a restriction of the fundamental solution to the heat equation on a circle. By algebraically characterizing the heat equation as a specific flat connection on a certain bundle on a modular curve\, we produce a completely algebraic technique for proving modularity of theta functions. More specifically\, we produce a refinement of the algebraic theory of theta functions due to Moret-Bailly\, Faltings--Chai\, and Candelori. As a consequence of the algebraic nature of our theory and the fact that it applies to indefinite quadratic forms / non-ample line bundles (which the prior algebraic theory does not)\, we also generalize the Kudla--Millson analytic theory of theta functions for indefinite quadratic forms to the case of torsion coefficients. This is joint work in progress with Akshay Venkatesh.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Sameroff Lecture | Celebrating and Leveraging Dr. Arnold Sameroff’s Legacy: From Transaction to Transformation: Integrating Developmental Theory\, Context\, and Preventive Interventions
DESCRIPTION:Renowned developmental scientist Dr. Velma McBride Murry will deliver this year’s distinguished lecture honoring the legacy of Arnold J. Sameroff. The keynote will highlight the enduring influence of Sameroff’s transactional model of development\, which transformed the field of developmental psychology by demonstrating that children and their environments shape one another through ongoing\, dynamic exchanges. Drawing from her landmark longitudinal research with African American families—including the Strong African American Families (SAAF) and Pathways for African Americans Success (PAAS) programs—McBride Murry will illustrate how culturally grounded\, community-partnered\, family-centered interventions bring transactional theory into practice. Her work shows that strengthening parenting\, racial socialization\, and family processes can reduce risk behaviors\, promote resilience\, and improve long-term developmental and health outcomes for youth during critical developmental periods. This lecture celebrates Sameroff’s theoretical vision while showcasing how Murry’s translational research carries that legacy forward—advancing equity\, prevention science\, and the next generation of developmental scholarship.\n\nThe talk will be followed by a reception with light refreshments

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Taxing Corporate or Shareholder Income
DESCRIPTION:As corporate income tax rates have fallen across the world\, other capital taxes become more important. This paper studies the choice between income taxation at the corporate and shareholder level depending on capital market openness. I develop a model of capital markets and sufficient-statistics framework to determine optimal tax reforms. The main result is that when the incidence of the corporate income tax on workers is higher than that of shareholder income taxes\, lowering the former and reducing the latter is typically optimal. In a policy application\, I derive optimal reform directions for corporate and shareholder income taxes for a large and a small economy.

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:Recreational / Games:Riichi Mahjong Tournament 
DESCRIPTION:This tournament will be split into two phases: Week 1 (Preliminaries/Qualifiers) and Week 2 (Playoff).\n\nEach player will have the opportunity to play in a designated number of east rounds\, and is assigned ranking points based on the final position and points the player obtains in each game. \n\nWhen each player has played the designated number of games\, everybody will be ranked based on the accumulative ranking points earned. Players who end up above the playoff line will advance and be given a seed number based on how they finished relative to the other qualifiers. \n\nThe playoffs will feature a swiss-style format\, where increasingly lower number seeds (better qualifying ranking) will have the benefit of playing increasingly higher ranked seeds. The championship match is guaranteed to be a hanchan.\n\n\nNote: *Players need to have a basic understanding of the rules of the game in order to partake in the tournament \n\n

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:Flyways
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration\, political exile\, queerness\, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: a. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.b. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.\nWhere can I view my results?a. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.b. You will not be notified of your score automatically. c. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * Students who took or are currently enrolled in an Arabic course are not eligible to take the Arabic placement test. They should register for the next course level.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.\nUM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of formal Arabic (fuSHa). \nIf you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

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:Access\, Ability & the Future of Pharmacy
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, March 24\, 2026\nTime: 10:00 am – 11:00 am\nLocation: Zoom webinar\n\nDid you know that over 20% of the American population lives with a disability? Yet\, this is not reflected in the healthcare workforce\, and specifically within pharmacy where less than ~1% of pharmacists formally declare a disability. Join us for a timely conversation on why disability inclusion matters and how supporting pharmacists with disabilities leads to better outcomes for patients and the profession. Guest speakers include Dr. Lisa Meeks\, Dr. Jennifer Williams and Dr. Laura Nellen.\n\nSpeaker Bios:\n\nLisa Meeks\, PhD\, is a Professor of Medical Education at the University of Illinois College of Medicine and a global leader in disability inclusion. As founder of the Docs with Disabilities Initiative\, she has driven policy and practice advancements that reshape health professions education. Her research\, published in journals like JAMA and Academic Medicine\, focuses on equity and dismantling ableism in training. Dr. Meeks is deeply committed to creating inclusive environments where all trainees can thrive.\n\nJennifer Williams\, PharmD\, BCPS\, is a member of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacy (ASHP) and adjunct faculty member at the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy. Her primary area of practice is focused on inpatient and outpatient oncology\, and with complex inpatient surgical patients. Jennifer seeks regular opportunities to engage in education in Inclusion\, as a person living with a disability herself\, which has led to opportunities in policy writing\, webinars\, podcasts\, and a ‘forever’ drive to engage in furthering the conversation related to accessibility.\n\nDr. Laura Evelyn Nellen is a specialty pharmacist at Accredo Specialty Pharmacy\, a division of Evernorth Health Services (The Cigna Group). She specializes in providing personalized care for patients with complex conditions. Living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type III - a genetic neuromuscular condition causing progressive muscle weakness and mobility challenges - Dr. Nellen offers unique insights into healthcare accessibility as both a clinician and a person with physical disabilities. She advocates for inclusive practices\, health equity and patient-centered solutions to reduce disparities for disabled and chronically ill individuals.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"The Family Office: Wealth Elite and their Family Management\"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Stone Center as we host Doron Shiffer-Sebba \, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Northwestern University\, on Tuesday\, March 24\, as he presents\, \"The Family Office: Wealth Elite and their Family Management.\" \n\nPlease RSVP to save your seat. \n\nAbstract: Today’s richest Americans have amassed fortunes rivaled only by estates like Rockefeller and Carnegie\, with some arguing that the United States has reached a “New Gilded Age”. Accordingly\, scholars have studied the social and legal mechanisms through which individuals accumulate large fortunes. Yet we know little about how elites maintain their economic resources as families\, passing their wealth across generations. Using six months of ethnographic observation at a wealth manager that caters to top 0.1% wealthy families in the United States\, I argue that the legal system\, which focuses on nuclear families but largely ignores extended family ties\, incentivizes using tools\, like trusts and corporations\, that disperse wealth across family members. These tools then augment the role of family members and professionals in elite wealth management. They preserve elite wealth but\, paradoxically\, also limit their control. Dynamics within elite families and between families and professionals have far-reaching consequences for the distribution of elite wealth and subsequent patterns of inequality.\n\nDoron Shiffer-Sebba researches the intersection of extended families and economic inequality. He focuses on 1) elite wealthy families and how they organize their wealth\; 2) the role of extended families in economic inequality in the broader U.S. population\; and 3) developing novel computational methods to analyze how people use their bodies in social interaction. In doing so\, Doron employs a wide array of methodological perspectives -- ethnographic\, quantitative\, and computational. Doron is currently working on an ethnographic book manuscript that exposes the structural forces that keep economic elites wealthy and thus sustaining inequality. Before joining Northwestern's sociology department\, Doron completed his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania and served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Sticky Discount Rates
DESCRIPTION:In standard models\, expected inflation on its own does not affect the real investment decisions of firms\, unless the real cost of capital or investment opportunities also change. We highlight a new mechanism\, which implies that this inflation neutrality breaks down when firms’ discount rates (which determine the nominal marginal product of capital) are sticky with respect to expected inflation. Sticky discount rates generate theoretical predictions that are consistent with stylized empirical facts but distinct from the New Keynesian textbook and other standard models: increases in expected inflation directly raise real investment\; demand shocks generate investment consumption comovement\; and the sensitivity of investment to real interest rates is low. Sticky discount rates imply monetary non-neutrality\, even when all other prices are flexible. In the New Keynesian optimal monetary policy problem\, the central bank steers long-run inflation expectations\, even in response to temporary shocks.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series- Spontaneous mutation rate and spectrum are modulated by organismal fitness
DESCRIPTION:Description: Understanding the principles governing mutagenesis is important because mutations are a fundamental driver of evolution and a cause of disease.  Although mutation rates and spectra depend on genotype and environment\, how these factors interact is unclear.  We address this question using mutation accumulation experiments in 11 budding yeast strains across three environments that produce strong genotype-by-environment interactions in fitness.  Analysis of over 9\,000 accumulated mutations reveals that per-generation rates of all mutation types—single-nucleotide variations\, small insertions and deletions\, segmental duplications and deletions\, and chromosome gains and losses—decline with increasing organismal fitness.  Notably\, relative mutation rates between strains tend to invert when environmental shifts reverse their relative fitness.  The mutation spectrum is also partially fitness-dependent: higher-fitness strains show a lower transition-to-transversion ratio and a stronger AT mutational bias.  Thus\, organismal fitness shapes not only natural selection but also the quantity and composition of mutations available to selection\, with broad implications for the molecular clock\, adaptive evolution\, and genetic load.

DESCRIPTION:Sleep plays an important role in the lives of animals ranging from jellyfish to humans. To maintain adaptive waking cognitive performance\, it is commonly thought that animals need to fulfill a fixed daily quota of sleep\, an inherently dangerous state of reduced environmental awareness. However\, studies of birds in the lab and wild indicate that the amount\, type\, and structure of sleep can be highly flexible in response to changing ecological demands. In this talk\, I will provide an overview of our research on ecological flexibility in avian sleep\, including responses to predation risk\, adaptive sleeplessness in male polygamous sandpipers\, sleep in flying frigatebirds\, microsleeps in nesting penguins\, and sleep-swimming in geese. By demonstrating that sleep is far more flexible than previously thought\, birds pose a potentially informative challenge to current theories for the function of sleep.\n\nAbout the speaker: Niels C. Rattenborg\, PhD\, is the head of the Avian Sleep research group at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence in Germany. He aims to gain insight into the evolution and functions of sleep through studying birds using various methods\, including brain imaging. Rattenborg is also interested in understanding how birds reconcile the inherent need for sleep with ecological demands for wakefulness\, such as avoiding predation\, competing for mates\, and flying non-stop for weeks at a time. He is pioneering the use of microchips to measure sleep-related brain activity in animals in the wild. Rattenborg received the Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award from the Sleep Research Society for demonstrating that birds can sleep in flight.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Learning Sciences Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:Minoritized parents have historically been sidelined in parent-school engagement opportunities. Research-practice-partnerships (RPP) have been one way to bring together stakeholders across communities in collective sense-making. We explore the design and enactment of a new activity system where minoritized parents\, their middle school children\, science teachers\, and researchers engaged in the FamJam RPP\, co-design and enact engineering curriculum that centers community and seeds rightful familial presence in middle school STEM. Guided by frameworks of rightful presence\, RPPs for learning at the boundaries\, and cultural historical activity theory\, the findings highlight new possibilities for family engagement through considering the underlying logics of equity. These include spatial and temporal equity\, solidarity for equitable collaboration\, collective responsibility for justice oriented STEM\, and fostering STEM for thriving and democratic citizenry.\n\nIn this presentation we share two case studies: one focusing on students and examining how transnational youth make sense of climate change across personal\, local\, and global contexts\, and another focusing on teachers\, investigating how minoritized educators developed critical transformative agency by collaborating with families to co‑design and implement climate justice education.\n\nThis conversation is presented by the Eileen Lappin Weiser Center for the Learning Sciences.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Transnational Feminist Mediation: The Other Half of the Sky (1975) and US-China People’s Diplomacy
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/Mk23A\n\nAt a moment of renewed U.S.-China antagonism\, this talk revisits a pivotal yet understudied Cold War juncture: the early 1970s\, when ideological hostilities softened and alternative modes of global engagement emerged. Focusing on \"The Other Half of the Sky: The China Memoir\" (1975)\, a documentary co-directed by Shirley MacLaine and Claudia Weill during the first American Women’s Friendship Delegation to China in 1973\, the talk argues that the film articulates a gendered reimagining of diplomacy grounded in everyday encounter. Centering on women’s voices and intimate exchanges\, the documentary maps a form of “people’s diplomacy” that unsettles Cold War binaries and foregrounded socialist feminism\, collective life\, and transnational solidarity—including Sino-African American connections.\n   \n   Ling Zhang is associate professor of Cinema Studies at the State University of New York\, Purchase College. She received her Ph.D. in cinema and media studies from the University of Chicago. Her research explores film sound and acoustic culture\, Chinese-language cinema and digital media\, and the cultural Cold War. She co-edited *Socializing Medicine: Health Humanities and East Asian Media* (Hong Kong UP\, 2025) and is developing two monographs\, “Unruly Sounds: Chinese Cinema and Transnational Acoustic Culture\, 1929–1949\,” and “Sounding Wayward Journeys: Traveling Media in China and the World\, 1949–1989.” Her work appears in Journal of Cinema and Media Studies\, South Atlantic Quarterly\, Journal of Popular Culture\, and Film Quarterly.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Freemium Model for Information Provision
DESCRIPTION:The paper explores a theoretical freemium model for the sale of information\, drawing on mathematical tools used in the study of repeated zero-sum games and Bayesian persuasion. Unlike in standard persuasion models\, the information seller (IS) is not affected by actions taken by the information buyer (IB)\, and is concerned solely with maximizing the revenue from selling information to the IB. Offering some information for free may increase the IB’s willingness to pay for additional information. The information that the IB seeks is modeled as information about the state of the world. Initially\, the IB only knows the prior distribution over possible state. The IS supplies both free and paid information through signals whose state‑dependent distributions determine the IB’s posterior via Bayes’ rule. The IB’s utility is a function of the posterior. An optimal free signal is one that maximizes the IS’s expected revenue from the subsequent paid signal. That revenue is equal to the IB’s expected gain in utility from the posterior induced by the free signal to the one induced by the paid signal. The paper characterizes the optimal free and paid signals and derives a formula for the maximal revenue in terms of the IB’s utility function. It shows that any revenue gain for the IS from providing free information is accompanied by an equally large or larger direct loss to the IB\, implying that free information is never socially beneficial. Whether or not free information can increase the IS’s revenue depends on the form of the IB’s utility function. In the two-state case\, the utility functions that allow such gains are fully characterized. In the general case\, only necessary conditions are obtained. In particular\, if the IB’s utility function is convex\, the IS can never profit from providing free information. This occurs\, for example\, when the IB uses the information to solve a decision problem. By contrast\, when the IB is engaged in strategic interaction with a third party\, the IS may benefit from providing free information. The paper presents a game‑theoretic example illustrating this possibility.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SRC Seminar Series Presents: Pricing Job Amenities: A Practitioner's Manual
DESCRIPTION:https://umich.zoom.us/s/96736010964\nMeeting ID: 967 3601 0964\nPasscode: 685364\n\nAbstract: This paper presents a simple estimator for pricing job amenities in the presence of unobserved worker ability. First described in Bell (2020) and Bell et al. (2024)\, the approach treats ability as a structured residual that jointly shapes access to both pay and non-pay job attributes. Job choice is assumed to be governed by a single vertical job-quality index\, and\, conditional on this index\, an observed proxy for worker ability serves as an “anti-instrument” for recovering amenity prices. Identification hinges on a conditional independence assumption: if pay\, amenities\, and true ability were observed\, the anti-instrument would be redundant. I demonstrate that this approach generates amenity price estimates in line with experimental evidence from Mas and Pallais (2017)\, illustrating how observational data can replicate gold-standard experimental insights when first-order differences in workers’ offer sets are allowed to translate into better jobs not only in terms of pay\, but also along non-pay dimensions. The talk will also discuss how these ideas shed new light on patterns observed in major survey datasets\, including how the PSID can be used to study the role of job choice primitives in intergenerational economic mobility.\n\nBio: Alex Bell is an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at Georgia State University’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies. His research\, grounded in labor economics\, focuses on inequality and innovation\, with methodological contributions to the study of compensating differentials. His work has appeared in leading economics journals\, including the American Economic Review and the Quarterly Journal of Economics\, and he received his PhD in Economics from Harvard University.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Can ‘Slavic’ Speak for Minorities? — Who Gets to Belong in Eastern Europe? - Talk 6
DESCRIPTION:A small number of East European manuscripts of magic and practical kabbalah enumerate recipes directed at disabling a specific function of Lilith focused on replacing or substituting a healthy human child with a disformed\, physically\, or mentally disabled demonic one. Designated by the Yiddish term\, banem ביינעם (to take\, replace\, or substitute)\, which appears in these manuscripts with an abundance of variant spellings\, expose the influence of local dialects and diverse linguistic usage. As several recipes attest\, the switching could occur either in utero or within a few weeks after birth. The wealth of magical formulas\, designed to chain Lilith’s power to carry out child substitution or replacement\, reflect pervasive anxieties among Jews concerning the mental and physical health of newborns. Dread and fear were powerful emotional triggers in the mythical presentation of Lilith’s child stealing activities prompting individuals and members of the Jewish community to seek effective cures from Jewish miracle healers\, designated as Ba’alei Shem or Masters of the Name. My talk will trace six types of curative options against child switching: nature-based formulas\; the use of Hebrew divine and angelic names\, amplified by the ten sefirot\; historiolae\; diagrammatic-visual amulets\; illocutionary speech acts\; and combined formulas to highlight that concerns about children’s wellbeing comprised a shared cultural-religious space between Jews and their Slavic neighbors and occupied a place of vital importance for the care and wellbeing of Jewish family and communal life.\n\nThis is a hybrid event.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The impact of TV's rollout on baseball in the US and soccer in England
DESCRIPTION:After WW2 the dominant professional sports in the US (baseball) and England (soccer) faced a common shock - the rapid penetration of TV ownership. Both experienced significant declines in attendance and profitability.  By 1960\, approximately 300 minor league baseball teams (75%) had folded and the residual teams came under the control of the 16 major league clubs. In England\, however\, none of the 92 professional clubs folded despite facing comparable economic pressures. These differences are attributed to institutional structures - notably the integrated governance of soccer\, compared to the fragmentation of baseball\, and the promotion and relegation system of soccer. The latter offered a mechanism for clubs to control costs and the possibility of a better future.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Highest resolution imaging of the dust destruction rim of planet-forming disks using the CHARA Array
DESCRIPTION:Star and planet formation processes are among the least understood problems in astrophysics\, generating numerous theories and questions over the decades. At this moment\, there is no one comprehensive\, predictive theory that can quantitatively explain how planetary systems form and eventually bring on life. Nevertheless\, observational techniques are continually improving and progressing our understanding\, providing new answers and questions about this elusive process. In particular\, observations of young stars with dusty circumstellar disks hold key information that can help us answer questions about the formation of stellar systems\, both similar to and different from our own. These disks are the birthplace of planets\; they set the initial conditions for planet formation and host different physical processes across a large spatial range that change the morphology and composition of the disks as they evolve. The inner <1 astronomical unit (AU) regions are especially intriguing and will be the focus of this thesis. This is where star/disk interactions occur\, including regulating the accretion of material onto the star\, defining the dust sublimation front\, hosting jets and winds that eject material outward\, and placing limits on giant planet migration. The challenge to directly study these regions lies in the sub-milliarcsecond resolution required to resolve such small scales\, which is unattainable by the world's largest singular optical telescopes or even the sub-millimeter interferometer ALMA. With the advent of long baseline optical interferometry\, we finally have the resolving power required to probe the disks at the innermost regions. In this thesis\, I use the world's largest optical interferometer\, the CHARA Array\, to study the inner regions of young stars on the more massive end\, Herbig Ae/Be stars\, as well as the lower mass T Tauri stars.\n\n\nI present new images and models of Herbig Be stars and characterize the disks of T Tauri stars in H- and K-bands. I present the first images of two Herbig Be stars\, V1295 Aql and MWC340. With observations using the upgraded MIRC-X instrument at the CHARA Array\, and semi-simultaneous data from VLTI's H-band combiner PIONIER\, I find a face-on disk around V1295 Aql showing asymmetries\, mysterious inner emission\, and first-ever imaged evidence of temporal variation at the inner rim. Imaging MWC340 led to an exciting discovery\, unexpectedly revealing two disks instead of one.  I use H- and K-band observations taken over 5 years at the CHARA array to resolve the binary systems\, place constraints on the orbital parameters\, and derive new stellar parameters for each central star. Furthermore\, I explore the lower mass regime of young stars with a multi-wavelength survey of T Tauri stars at the highest resolution. I led a 4-year observing campaign at the CHARA Array with the newly-commissioned K-band instrument MYSTIC\, which was specifically designed to image the redder\, fainter stars. I present the initial results of a sample of the survey using geometric models to characterize their sizes and geometry. I consistently find the disk sizes to be larger in the K-band versus the H-band\, meaning that the dusty disk gets more resolved at longer wavelengths. I discuss any interesting findings for individual objects and comment on results from previous studies when applicable.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Capturing the Sequence of Events During the Catalytic Reaction using XFELs
DESCRIPTION:The water oxidation reaction in the Photosystem II (PS II) enzyme produces molecular oxygen\, which sustains life on Earth\, and releases four electrons and protons that are used downstream in other photosynthetic processes for generating ATP. Thus\, understanding how this reaction is catalyzed will help in development of energy conversion technologies. The catalytic center is a Manganese complex (Mn4CaO5) which gets oxidized progressively upon absorption of light before releasing the stored energy and oxidizing water. Structural studies of PS II have been limited at traditional synchrotron sources due to radiation damage of this complex. The emergence of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL) with intense femtosecond X-ray pulses have opened opportunities to collect structural data on PS II under physiological temperature. The time-resolved electron density changes at the Manganese complex reveal notable structural changes\, including the insertion of a new water OX\, which disappears upon completion of the reaction [1-3]. We are also able to follow the structural dynamics of the protein coordinating with the complex\, revealing well- orchestrated conformational changes in response to electronic changes at the Manganese cluster. The method described here can be applicable to other (metallo)enzymes by initiating reaction with different reaction-triggering methods.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: Homological stability of moduli spaces
DESCRIPTION:Homological stability has emerged over the past decades as an organizing principle in topology and beyond. Broadly speaking\, many sequences of moduli spaces exhibit the striking phenomenon that their homology stabilizes as the underlying complexity grows. One of the most remarkable achievements of this paradigm is the proof of the Mumford conjecture by Madsen and Weiss\, which identifies the stable rational cohomology of the moduli space of algebraic curves. This resolves a question of central importance in algebraic geometry and geometric group theory\; all existing proofs use significant amounts of homotopy theory. In this lecture I will survey some ideas behind homological stability and the ubiquity of stability phenomena\, and discuss consequences and applications\, particularly in algebraic geometry and number theory.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | The Efficacy of Using Singing as a Learning Tool in Foreign Language Acquisition
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/G2NdP\n\nThis lecture builds on Park's Fulbright U.S. Scholar project (2024–2025\, Freie Universität Berlin\, Germany)\, which investigates the role of singing as a pedagogical tool in foreign language acquisition. The project demonstrates how combining Korean lyric songs (가곡) with culturally significant works such as Arirang and popular songs from the 1970s\, valued for their simple yet artistic character\, creates powerful opportunities for both language learning and cultural engagement.\n\n   Singing activates multiple cognitive processes—memory\, auditory discrimination\, and articulatory precision—that support vocabulary retention\, pronunciation\, and prosodic fluency. Through guided sing-along activities\, participants will experience firsthand how these repertoires enable learners\, particularly non-Korean speakers\, to internalize language patterns in a memorable and embodied way.\n\n   Beyond linguistic development\, the juxtaposition of lyric\, folk\, and popular song traditions illuminates Korea’s diverse musical and cultural landscape. This interdisciplinary approach—linking vocal pedagogy\, musicology\, and linguistics—underscores the efficacy of song as both a dynamic tool for foreign language acquisition and a meaningful pathway to intercultural understanding.\n   \nA native of Korea\, soprano Moon-Sook Park has built an international career with performances throughout Europe\, Asia\, and the United States. Her U.S. debut recital at Carnegie Hall in 2001 marked a defining moment in her artistic life and established the United States as her second home. Her repertoire bridges German *Liederkunst*\, Korean lyric art song\, and diverse traditions of international art song literature\, alongside chamber and contemporary experimental works. In addition to her concert career\, she has performed leading operatic roles including Pamina in *The Magic Flute*\, Susanna in *Le nozze di Figaro*\, Liù in *Turandot*\, and Gilda in *Rigoletto*. During her years in Germany\, she was honored with the K.A.A.D. Award and the prestigious Bayreuth Wagner Stipend Award\, recognizing her as a distinguished rising scholar-artist.\n\nAfter earning her Bachelor of Music degree from Seoul National University\, she continued her studies in Europe\, completing graduate diplomas at the conservatories of Freiburg\, Stuttgart\, and Saarland in Germany. She later devoted more than a decade in Italy to the study of bel canto\, immersing herself deeply in its vocal tradition and expressive artistry\, and received a diploma from the Accademia di Canto F. Cavalli in Milan. She subsequently earned the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Voice Performance and Vocal Pedagogy from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music\, integrating European vocal heritage with American pedagogical scholarship.\n\nAs an honored Fulbright U.S. Scholar (2024–2025) at Freie Universität Berlin\, Dr. Park’s work bridges artistic performance and interdisciplinary research\, exploring the role of singing in language acquisition and cultural exchange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS Lecture. Oh the Places they will Go: Qatari High School Students and their College Choices
DESCRIPTION:Qatari high school students have many choices and freedom when it comes to deciding on where to pursue their undergraduate degrees. Using the push-pull framework\, this research presentation explores why Qatari high school students choose to study abroad rather than pursue their post-secondary education in Qatar\, and what push-pull factors influence their decision to study abroad or locally. The research will also look at students' parents to see where they would like their child to apply for a comparison. The research questions are: What factors are associated with Qatari high school students’ decision to apply to college/university abroad or locally? What factors are associated with Qatari parents in helping their child’s decision to apply to college/university abroad or locally? This presentation will be a sneak peek at Mohammad's dissertation.\n   \n   Mohammad Al-Ansari (he/him) is a fifth-year doctoral candidate in the Higher Education and Student Affairs program at the University of Iowa. He is also a Senior Research Assistant at Qatar University's Social & Economic Survey Research Institute. His research interests include the purpose of higher education\, students' aspirations and motivations for pursuing a college degree\, and the development of education policy in Qatar.\n\nRegister at https://myumi.ch/Nrg5Q\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How Ford Transformed Religion in America
DESCRIPTION:What does a motor company and its founder have to do with religion in America? A lot\, it turns out. Henry Ford did not just mass produce cars. As a member of the Episcopal Church\, reader of New Thought texts\, believer in the “gospel of reincarnation\,” mass marketer of antisemitic material\, and employer who institutionalized a social gospel\, Henry Ford’s contributions to American models of business were informed by and produced for an America he understood to be broadly Christian. Though Ford’s efforts at the head of the Ford Motor Company have commonly been understood as secular\, the Motor King was explicit that his work in engineering and auto production was prophetic and meant to remake the world. This talk offers a religious history of Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company\, repositioning them within critical studies of religion and examining how Ford transformed American religion in the twentieth century.

She teaches courses and researches at the intersections of religion\, capitalism\, and popular culture. Dr. Curts studied economics and marketing as an undergraduate before earning M.A. and M.Phil. degrees in Religious Studies at New York University and Yale University. She completed her Ph.D. in American Religious History at Yale in 2016.\n\nHer recent publications have considered religious assemblage at world’s fairs\; and the relational worlds of secular icons as produced in composite photography and devotional performance. She is currently working on her first book – a religious history of Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company – tentatively titled “Fording Religion in the Automobile Age.” This book project contributes to and reflects broader interests in genealogical relations of religion and the technologies\, chronologies\, aesthetics\, economies\, and entertainments that are otherwise assumed to be secular.\n\nIn addition to the book project\, Dr. Curts’ ongoing research centers on theories of religion\, history\, modernity\, and sociality as formed through silver mining operations in the Gilded Age\, scrapbooks and vernacular collecting practices\, Hollywood filmmaking\, Cold War operatics\, cigarette advertisements\, contemporary art mash-ups\, mobile technology platforms\, and corporate-sponsored reading clubs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Analysis Seminar: Solitary Waves in Water Wave Equations
DESCRIPTION:Solitary water waves are traveling waves that are localized in space and maintain their shape as they propagate. They are among the most fundamental structures in fluid mechanics and have inspired a large body of work ranging from formal asymptotics to rigorous analysis. In this talk\, I will discuss several methods for constructing solitary water waves. I will then sketch a recent work in which we constructed solitary-wave solutions to the two-dimensional finite-depth water-wave equations with capillarity and constant vorticity. Part of this talk is based in part on joint work with Ting-Yang Hsiao\, Giang To\, and Ye Zhang.

DESCRIPTION:In an age of deep division and growing global challenges\, education has a vital role to play in cultivating peace.\n\nBarger Leadership Institute is committed to nurturing leaders who will promote peace\, compassion\, dignity\, and well-being in their communities. In that spirit\, we are organizing a two-day event to raise awareness for commitment to peace in higher education.

On March 25\, we are hosting a multidisciplinary symposium\, \"Lessons from Hiroshima: Cultivating Mindful Peace Leadership.\"\n\nFREE FILM SCREENING\nThe Vow From Hiroshima is an intimate portrait of Setsuko Thurlow\, a passionate survivor of the 1945 atomic bomb in Hiroshima.

The experience shaping her life forever\, she kept a pledge to her friends - that no one should ever again experience the same horrible fate. Her moving story is told through the lens of her friendship with second-generation survivor Mitchie Takeuchi\, through her decades of activism\, to the current moment\, achieving her dream of a Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty.\n\nSpecial thanks to our film sponsors\,\n- The Nam Center for Korean Studies\n- Michigan Community Scholars Program\n- Center for Japanese Studies\n- UMMA\n- Center for Global and Intercultural Study\n- Organizational Studies\n- Psychology Department

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

SUMMARY: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:Recreational / Games:Riichi Mahjong Tournament 
DESCRIPTION:This tournament will be split into two phases: Week 1 (Preliminaries/Qualifiers) and Week 2 (Playoff).\n\nEach player will have the opportunity to play in a designated number of east rounds\, and is assigned ranking points based on the final position and points the player obtains in each game. \n\nWhen each player has played the designated number of games\, everybody will be ranked based on the accumulative ranking points earned. Players who end up above the playoff line will advance and be given a seed number based on how they finished relative to the other qualifiers. \n\nThe playoffs will feature a swiss-style format\, where increasingly lower number seeds (better qualifying ranking) will have the benefit of playing increasingly higher ranked seeds. The championship match is guaranteed to be a hanchan.\n\n\nNote: *Players need to have a basic understanding of the rules of the game in order to partake in the tournament \n\n

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:Flyways
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration\, political exile\, queerness\, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Exhibition: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:“Apitecture”: On Bees and Built Forms in the Lands of Islam
DESCRIPTION:Bees are considered the chief architects of the natural world. In premodern Islamic lands\, writers such as al-Maqrizi (d. 1442CE) penned entire treatises dedicated to these minuscule winged insects\, praising an ingenuity that “even the most astute engineer who uses a compass and a ruler would be proved incapable of replicating.” While bees construct honeycombs of perfect hexagons\, humans\, too\, engage in the practice“apitecture”: that is\, creating built forms to home and protect bee colonies. Some are small and appended to homes\; others mounted on cliffs and trees\; and still others are monumental abodes that could house twenty million of these social animals. Such is the case for the apiary of Inzerki\, located in the Souss Valley in southwestern Morocco. Built in the sixteenth century and overseen by a collective of Amazigh (Berber) tribes\, it functioned as a premodern “factory” for the large-scale production of wax and honey—the latter a prized sweetener and preserver bearing curative properties\, and the former a material in high demand by and thus exported to Europe. Along with related bee texts and other apiaries\, this talk presents the Inzerki beehive in order to explore the interface between wilderness and domesticity\, animal and human architecture\, biomimesis\, and faunal industrialism. Above all\, it focuses on Islamic “beekeeping\,” the expression “keeping” used to identify various types of cooperative homing practices and forms. \n\nLunch will be available before the lecture begins.\n\nProfessor Christiane Gruber is Mehmet Ağa-Oğlu Collegiate Professor of Islamic Art History at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Her scholarly work explores medieval to contemporary Islamic art. Among others\, her areas of expertise include Islamic book arts\, paintings of the Prophet Muhammad\, and Islamic ascension texts and images\, about which she has written three books and edited several volumes of articles. She also pursues research in Islamic book arts\, codicology\, and paleography\, having authored the online catalogue of Islamic calligraphies in the Library of Congress as well as edited the volume of articles entitled The Islamic Manuscript Tradition. Her third field of specialization is modern and contemporary Islamic visual and material culture\, about which she has edited several volumes and written over a dozen articles. Her recent publications include her book The Praiseworthy One: The Prophet Muhammad in Islamic Texts and Images and her edited volume The Image Debate: Figural Representation in Islam and Across the World. Currently\, she is working on eco-Islamic art and architecture as well as the visual culture of the Nation of Islam. \n\nShe has found great joy and purpose in founding and directing Khamseen: Islamic Art History Online since 2020.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. A Global Perspective on Campaigns for Reproductive Rights: Insights from Soviet and Contemporary Russia
DESCRIPTION:The first ever public campaign to defend access to legal abortion in Russia took place in 2011. Notably\, Russian advocates avoided common feminist slogans claiming reproductive “rights” and “choice.” Instead\, they implored the state to “Fight Abortion\, Not Women.” This slogan expressed opposition to the routine use of abortion for fertility control and implicitly demanded state support for contraceptives. In this presentation\, Rivkin-Fish traces the historical conditions that made “Fight Abortion\, Not Women” a salient message for the health professionals who established Russia’s first state and non-governmental organizations for family planning. Their efforts illustrate a broader vision of change at socialism’s end—one aimed not at promoting individual autonomy but at rationalizing and re-enchanting relationships.\n   She will show how\, by promoting this culturally tailored approach to liberal biopolitics\, family planning experts facilitated dramatic transformations in reproductive health services and reproductive practices. Nonetheless\, their programs became targets for nationalists’ ire and demographic anxiety. By tracing the rise and demise of family planning institutions\, Rivkin-Fish’s Unmaking Russia’s Abortion Culture (2024) reveals the centrality of reproductive and demographic politics to Russia’s nationalist and authoritarian turn.\n   \n   Michele Rivkin-Fish is Professor of Anthropology at UNC-Chapel Hill. Her research focuses on reproductive politics and health in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. She is the author of Women’s Health in Post-Soviet Russia: The Politics of Intervention (2005)\, which won the Basker Prize for Outstanding Research on Gender and Health from the Society of Medical Anthropology\, and the Heldt Prize from the Association for Women in Slavic Studies. Her most recent book\, Unmaking Russia’s Abortion Culture: Family Planning and the Struggle for a Liberal Biopolitics (2024)\, examines professional efforts to replace routine abortion use with contraceptive habits as a lens onto the evolving practices of liberal biopolitics from the late Soviet 1950s to 2016 in Russia.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Dialogue Michigan Community Circles
DESCRIPTION:As we navigate an increasingly complex social and political landscape\, the need for robust democratic engagement has never been more vital. At its core\, democracy thrives not just through the ballot box\, but through our ability to foster discourse\, practice inclusive decision-making\, and build resilient communities.\n\nOn behalf of the Dialogue Michigan planning team\, we invite U-M faculty and staff to join us for our next event\, where we will explore a practical tool for this civic work.\n\nDemocratic engagement requires us to move beyond debate and toward dialogue. Circle processes provide a structured way to do exactly that and to be in community. Rooted in First Nation and Indigenous peacemaking practices\, these processes create an egalitarian space where:\n- Every voice is centered: The use of a talking piece ensures that all participants have the space to be heard without interruption.\n- Power is shared: The circular structure removes traditional hierarchies\, encouraging collective responsibility and transparency.\n- Community is restored: It offers a framework for navigating conflict and making decisions that reflect the needs of the whole\, rather than just the majority.\n\nThis workshop will be interactive\, providing you with the opportunity to experience a circle firsthand and learn how to bring these restorative practices into your work and community spaces.\n\nRegistration required: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/p/track/16802\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT DIALOGUE MICHIGAN\nhttps://myumi.ch/dialogue

SUMMARY:Presentation:Learning Structured Reward Representations for Reinforcement Learning
DESCRIPTION:Committee Chair: Necmiye Ozay\n\nAbstract: \nLearning from demonstrations is one of the most natural and powerful paradigms for acquiring intelligent behavior. Among its most prominent formulations is inverse reinforcement learning (IRL)\, which has achieved remarkable success in domains such as robotics and autonomous driving. Yet despite this promise\, IRL remains fundamentally challenged by ill-posedness: the same observed behavior can often be explained by many different underlying objectives. If an agent moves from point A to point B\, is it because it is attracted to B\, repelled by A\, or optimizing something more subtle entirely? From behavior alone\, the answer is generally ambiguous.\nThis dissertation addresses several foundational questions at the heart of inverse reinforcement learning. First\, it investigates which environments and dynamics are inherently suitable for learning from demonstrations. Second\, it studies how \"rationality priors\" can be incorporated to regularize the ambiguity of IRL and improve identifiability. Finally\, it develops methods for inferring latent memory structure directly from demonstrations\, enabling classical IRL techniques to extend beyond Markovian assumptions to the richer setting of multi-stage tasks with history-dependent\, non-Markovian rewards.\n\nRobotics Atrium & on Zoom (Passcode: 19982001)

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mathematical Biology Seminar: Cyanobacterial Clocks: How do they work\, and what are they good for?
DESCRIPTION:All plants and animals and many unicellular organisms possess circadian clocks--autonomous oscillators with a roughly 24 hour period that allow them to anticipate daily cycles of light and dark.  I will discuss recent progress on understanding one such biological clock\, in the photosynthetic bacterium S. elongatus.  This system has the remarkable feature that the core biochemical oscillator can be reconstituted in vitro with only three purified proteins.  Thus\, unlike almost all other circadian clocks studied to date\, it requires neither transcription nor translation but functions entirely post-translationally.  After reviewing what we know about how the in vitro oscillator functions\, as well as a few outstanding puzzles\, I will turn my attention to the implications of this understanding for clock function in the living cell.  In particular\, I will use biophysical models to address two questions:  How does the clock continue to tick robustly in the noisy cellular environment?  And what selective advantage does the clock provide?  In the former case\, I will argue that the core post-translational oscillator is necessary to make the clock robust to several perturbations present in any growing\, dividing cell\, but that other specific adaptations are also required.  In response to the latter question\, I will present efforts to quantify the clock's contributions to fitness through anticipating diurnal environmental changes and through rejecting environmental noise.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MPSDS / JPSM Seminar Series: From Survey to SurvAI:  The Promises and Precautions of AI for Survey Research
DESCRIPTION:MPSDS / JPSM Seminar Series\nMPSDS M3 Series: Mastery\, Methodology\, Meetups\n\nIn person\, room 1070 Institute for Social Research\, and via Zoom.\nThe Zoom call will be locked 10 minutes after the start of the presentation.\n\nFrom Survey to SurvAI:  The Promises and Precautions of AI for Survey Research\n\nLarge language models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming many professional domains\, including survey research. Eloundou et al. (2024) rank survey research among the most highly exposed occupations to LLM-driven automation\, raising both opportunities and challenges for practitioners. While survey science has a rich tradition of adopting technological tools for tasks like data collection\, analysis\, and instrument design\, the unique affordances and risks associated with LLMs call for a structured examination.\n\nThis paper presents findings from a systematic literature review of empirical and theoretical work at the intersection of LLMs and survey research.  Specifically\, we sought to synthesize examples of how LLMs are being applied across three broad phases of the survey research pipeline including: pre-data collection\, data collection and post-data collection.  Methodologically\, this review identifies uneven distribution of LLM application across the survey pipeline. While pre-data collection stages (e.g.\, item writing\, translation) are well explored\, core practices like live interviewing\, recruitment\, and cross-lingual adaptation remain under-investigated. Additionally\, few studies assess LLMs systematically across multiple populations\, languages\, or survey topics. In this presentation we will highlight not just the breadth of current use cases\, but also the methodological and ethical considerations that must accompany them noting examples that are both promising as well as precautionary.\n\nTrent D. Buskirk\, Ph.D.  has recently joined the new School of Data Science at Old Dominion University.  Prior to this appointment\, Trent was the Novak Family Distinguished Professor of Data Science and outgoing Chair of the Applied Statistics and Operations Research Department at Bowling Green State University.  Dr. Buskirk is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and his research is positioned at the intersection of survey science\, data science\, computational social science\, and human–AI interaction.  His specific research interests include Schema-Driven LLM-Based Inference\, big data quality\, recruitment methods through social media\, the use of big data and machine learning methods for health\, social and survey science design and analysis\, mobile and smartphone survey designs and in methods for calibrating and weighting samples and fairness in AI models and interpretable ML methods.  Trent has also been involved in various professional organizations serving as the President of the Midwest Association for Public Opinion Research in 2016\, the Conference Chair for AAPOR in 2018 and a member of the scientific committee for the BigSurv series of conferences since 2018.  Trent as also served as an Associate Editor (Methods) for the Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology.    Dr. Buskirk is currently serving on the AAPOR Responsible Integration of AI in Survey Research task force.  When Trent is not geeking out over data science or survey research\, he’s likely out playing a competitive game of Pickleball!

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Counting Defiers: A Design-Based Model of a Randomized Experiment Can Reveal Evidence Beyond the Average Effect (with Neil Christy)
DESCRIPTION:We estimate the numbers of always takers\, compliers\, defiers\, and never takers in the sample of people in an experiment\, rather than a hypothetical population from which it was drawn\, using structure from the randomization design. Our data include only a binary intervention and outcome. We develop a visualization to show that samples with defiers can sometimes generate the data in more ways than samples without defiers\, yielding a higher design-based likelihood. We propose a maximum likelihood decision rule that can harness this evidence\, which is not captured by standard hypothesis tests\, and we provide optimality conditions. We illustrate the output of our decision rule for all possible data in samples of 50 and 200 with half in intervention\, demonstrating a pattern in when the MLE includes defiers despite a positive average effect. We provide insights into effect heterogeneity in two published experiments with interventions that could plausibly backfire for some people despite statistically significant positive average effects on takeup of desirable health behaviors. In both\, our 95% credible sets include the estimated Frechet bounds\, demonstrating that evidence is weak. Yet\, our MLE includes no defiers in one\; in the other\, the MLE includes a count of defiers equal to the estimated upper Frechet bound\, over 18% of the sample. The MLE can support a monotonicity assumption or a specific alternative as a step toward improving the average effect of future interventions by targeting them away from noncompliers. Our dbmle package\, compatible with Python and Stata\, implements our statistics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: Weak order and Cambrian Lattices
DESCRIPTION:In this talk we will look at another important example of semi distributive lattices\, the weak order on finite Coxeter groups. In the specific example of the symmetric group\, which can be associated to the type A Dynkin quiver\, we will see how the familiar lattice of torsion classes can be identified with a quotient of the weak order. Building on this example\, we will generalize the quotient construction to finite Coxeter groups via the notion of Cambrian congruences and Cambrian lattices.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Optical Thermodynamics and Lagrange Waveguides
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, there has been a resurgence of interest in multimode structures\, driven primarily by the growing demand for higher information capacities. This renewed focus has sparked a surge of activity in the field of nonlinear multimode optics. The inherent complexity of these systems—where hundreds or even thousands of nonlinearly interacting modes collectively behave as a many-body system—has led to the discovery of novel optical phenomena that would be unattainable in single-mode settings.\n\nIn this talk\, a new thermodynamic framework for describing complex\, highly multimode\, nonlinear optical systems will be presented. It will be shown that mode occupancies in such systems exhibit a universal behavior\, consistently evolving toward maximizing the system’s entropy. This thermodynamic response is universal—it occurs regardless of the specific nonlinearities at play and can be harnessed to either heat or cool an optical system. Special emphasis will be placed on new methodologies for coherent beam combining using principles of optical thermodynamics. \n\nMethodologies for guiding light and charged particles in a novel class of waveguiding structures based on Lagrange points will also be discussed.\n \nBio: Demetri Christodoulides is an Endowed Chair Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Master Class with Noa Kageyama: Shrinking the Gap Between Practice and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Elite athletes and coaches have known for decades that physical preparation alone is not enough to perform optimally under pressure. And increasingly\, musicians too are engaging in mental skills training and ways of practicing and preparing which can lead to more consistent\, inspired\, and engaged performances.\n\nIn this session\, you’ll find out what common practice habit leads to “but it sounded better at home” syndrome (and the more effective alternative)\, discover the two causes of “choking” under pressure (and a simple strategy to prevent this from happening)\, and learn a “backwards” method for structuring your daily practice that leads to more consistent and confident performances.\n\nStudents should bring their instruments in order to apply practices and try out strategies in real time during the session. Any playing will be altogether as a group. No individual or 1:1 playing is required!\n\nFree and open to the public. Presented by the Department of Strings and the U-M Arts Initiative.\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nPerformance psychologist NOA KAGEYAMA is on the faculty of The Juilliard School and the Cleveland Institute of Music. A conservatory-trained violinist with degrees from Oberlin and Juilliard before completing a Ph.D. in psychology at Indiana University\, Noa specializes in teaching musicians how to utilize sport psychology principles and more consistently perform up to their full abilities under pressure.\n\nHe has conducted workshops for institutions including Curtis\, Eastman\, Peabody\, and the U.S. Armed Forces School of Music\, programs such as the Starling-Delay Symposium and the Perlman Music Program\, and for organizations like the Music Teachers’ National Association\, Performing Arts Medicine Association\, and the Association for Applied Sport Psychology.\n\nNoa's work has appeared in CNN\, NBC News\, The Wall Street Journal\, and other media outlets. He authors *The Bulletproof Musician* blog and podcast\, reaching over 45\,000 subscribers every week.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Math Grad Show and Tell Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: After learning single-variable calculus\, it is common to move straight into learning multivariable calculus\; a standard extension from R to R^n. With some dedication\, one continues on to learn about single-variable complex analysis\, observing that the reasonable transition from R to C often makes analysis much more elegant. But then a natural question arises: Why is it uncommon to study \"multivariable complex analysis\" on C^n?\n\nIn this talk\, which shares its title with a textbook authored by Jiří Lebl\, we will introduce basic results and phenomena in the theory of several complex variables. Emphasizing definitions and examples over technical proofs\, we will explore generalizations of certain theorems from complex analysis\, while highlighting the surprising ways in which our single-variable intuition can fail in higher dimensions. Familiarity (not proficiency) in complex analysis will be helpful\, but certain statements will be reviewed as needed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Naveed Arif Iqball Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Naveed Arif Iqball Keynote Lecture highlights the work of individuals advancing understanding and improving college student mental health. The lecture is held annually at the Mental Health on College Campuses conference. This year\, we are honored to host Jennifer Wallace\, founder of The Mattering Institute and co-founder of The Mattering Movement\, for her presentation titled \"The Mattering Campus: Building an Ecosystem Where Everyone Feels Valued.\" The Mattering Campus is built on a simple idea: students thrive when they feel they matter. Despite being more connected than ever\, many students feel lonely\, anxious\, and disengaged. Seen through a mattering lens\, these aren’t separate crises but signs of the same problem: namely\, that students don’t feel seen\, needed\, or significant. This talk explores how campuses can intentionally rebuild mattering at every stage of the student journey—from orientation to graduation. This event is free and open to the public. No registration is required to attend. CE credit available for social workers!\n\nThe support for this lecture is provided by the Naveed Arif Iqball Mental Health Advocacy Endowment Fund\, established by Arif Iqball of Kyoto\, Japan\, in memory of his son\, Naveed\, who sadly lost his battle with depression in 2019. He believed stigma prevented his son from seeking treatment or sharing his struggles with his family and friends. Through this lecture\, Mr. Iqball aims to raise awareness of student mental health and reduce stigma across our communities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Profinite Rigidity and Hyperbolic Geometry
DESCRIPTION:To what extent is a finitely presented group determined by its finite quotients? This question leads naturally to the profinite completion\, which encodes all finite quotients of a group in a single algebraic object. In this talk\, we will discuss work by Bridson\, McReynolds\, Reid\, and Spitler who construct new examples of groups that are profinitely rigid\, meaning they are uniquely determined by their profinite completion\, via examples from hyperbolic geometry and low-dimensional topology. Their approach uses techniques involving representation rigidity\, linking the finite quotients of a group to arithmetic invariants of lattices in PSL(2\,C). If time permits\, we will discuss more recent developments in this area pertaining to Dehn fillings of knots.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Michigan Lectures in Algebraic Geometry and Topology: Stable homology of moduli spaces and moments in families of L-functions over function fields
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, several problems in arithmetic statistics that seem completely intractable over number fields\, have been resolved in the case of function fields by geometric methods\; more specifically\, by casting the problem in terms of the homology of a suitable moduli space of algebraic curves\, and understanding the homology asymptotically. Perhaps the most notable is the work of Ellenberg-Venkatesh-Westerland and Landesman-Levy on Cohen-Lenstra heuristics. \n\nI will talk about joint work with Bergström-Diaconu-Westerland and Miller-Patzt-Randal-Williams\, where this paradigm is applied to another problem in analytic number theory. There is a \"recipe\" due to Conrey-Farmer-Keating-Rubinstein-Snaith (CFKRS) which allows for precise predictions for the asymptotics of moments of many different families of L-functions. We consider the family of all L-functions attached to hyperelliptic curves over some fixed finite field\, in which case we are able to prove the CFKRS predictions for all moments\, for all sufficiently large (but fixed) q.\nWe do this by studying the homology of the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves\, with symplectic coefficients: we compute the stable homology groups\, together with their structure as Galois representations\, and prove a novel homological stability theorem in this setting. The proofs use homotopical ideas developed in connection with the Mumford conjecture\, Borel's work on stable real cohomology of arithmetic groups\, logarithmic algebraic geometry\, and cellular E_k-algebras.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Biological Anthropology Colloquium | “Should We Stay or Should We Go? Bonobo Navigation and Foraging Behavior in a Virtual Rainforest”
DESCRIPTION:“Addressing questions about primate cognition and behavior between both field and lab\, the use of virtual reality creates simulated scenarios synthesizing aspects of ecological conditions under controlled laboratory settings. I will present a spatial cognitive-foraging study\, a ‘Virtual Rainforest’\, inspired by primate fieldwork to test hypotheses in the lab that would be difficult to assess under field conditions. I will also briefly present the framework for a second virtual reality study on wild great ape gestures similarly inspired by primate fieldwork. \n\nIn the Virtual Rainforest study\, we asked\, how do captive apes’ exploration in complex environments and spatial memory compare with wild apes’ dynamic challenges (competitors\, seasonality\, and food availability) when navigating between multiple foraging sites? And\, what effect does the captive environment have on the development of spatial cognitive abilities? We investigated by using simulations of captive bonobos’ real-world habitats. Assessing navigation in a virtual “rainforest” presents a unique opportunity to examine ape cognitive abilities in exploration of novel complex environments\, attention to landmarks\, and capacity to generate and encode novel routes. In our study\, captive bonobos explored a virtual rainforest comprised of three regions: dense\, moderate dense\, and savannah-like area. Virtual fruits (mango\, cherry\, grape) were located region-specific\, and each were associated with specific auditory cues\, bird calls. The food rewards matched the selected virtual fruits. Moving prey (e.g.\, red river hogs) shifted between regions creating complexity and a dynamic habitat. The bonobos were presented with three 12-minute trials/day\, each trial mirroring daybreak to sundown. Individualized start locations began where each bonobo’s trial previously ended. The bonobos were highly attentive during virtual exploration and traveled to localized areas of preferred over non-preferred foods suggesting goal-oriented navigation in this virtual mini-world. Additionally\, within trials\, bonobos were observed to turn towards items previously seen but not presently visible\, demonstrating object permanence of visual+directional memory within a virtual space. We compare our results with wild chimpanzee goal-directed navigation to foraging sites. \n\nAs a model for what is possible\, I will briefly present a framework for a future study using bonobo avatars to demonstrate wild ape gestures to captive apes to determine their responsiveness. In summary\, I will highlight the novel use of virtual reality to assess and compare cognition across ecologies\, species and populations\, and between individuals with different experiential and developmental trajectories.”\n\nDr. Francine Dolins\, Associate Professor of Comparative Psychology\, University of Michigan-Dearborn\, has a PhD in Cognitive Psychology and Behavioral Primatology from the University of Stirling (Scotland) and a BSc.\, Honors in Biology (Behavioral Ecology\, Evolutionary Theory & Animal Cognition) from the University of Sussex (England). Francine’s research focuses on primate cognition\, behavior\, and cognitive-ecological modeling in the field and laboratory. Her research concentrates on questions regarding spatial cognition\, navigation\, and foraging behavior in the context of group decision-making\, self-recognition\, social information transfer\, and group behavior. She uses virtual reality to compare nonhuman and human primate spatial and social cognition and applies technology to enhance the welfare and environmental enrichment of captive nonhuman primates. Francine has received multiple research grants from the National Institutes on Aging\, Templeton World Charity Foundation\, Ford Motor Company\, and the Southwest Primate National Research Center. She is lead editor on three volumes published by Cambridge University Press: Attitudes to Animals\; Spatial Cognition - Spatial Perception\; and Spatial Analysis in Field Primatology: Applying GIS at Varying Scales\, as well as a guest editor on several special issues in the American Journal of Primatology\, Frontiers\, and Animal Biology. Francine teaches in the Psychology and Biopsychology programs\, the Masters’ Program in Human Centered Design Studies\, and is a Co-Director of the Psychology Honors Program. She is actively involved on the University of Michigan Senate and Senate committees on research\, ethics\, and university governance.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg Lecture with Connie Lu \"Synergizing p- and d-Block Elements for Catalysis\"
DESCRIPTION:Many challenging chemical reactions require precious metal catalysts to proceed. Our research group develops main-group metalloligands (Groups 13 and 14) as an electronic lever for tuning a reactive transition metal active site via a direct metal–metal interaction. This approach has allowed for the development and optimization of highly efficient transition metal-main group bifunctional catalysts in various catalytic applications. The bimetallic catalysts display remarkably enhanced activity compared to the analogous single metal centers. In this talk\, I will detail the roles of the main group support in substrate binding\, activation of strong bonds (C−F and C−H)\, and catalysis.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mean–Variance Portfolio Selection by Continuous-Time Reinforcement Learning: Algorithms\, Regret Analysis\, and Empirical Study
DESCRIPTION:We study continuous-time mean–variance portfolio selection in markets where stock prices are diffusion processes driven by observable factors that are also diffusion processes\, yet the coefficients of these processes are unknown. Based on the recently developed reinforcement learning (RL) theory for diffusion processes\, we present a general data-driven RL algorithm that learns the pre-committed investment strategy directly without attempting to learn or estimate the market coefficients. For multi-stock Black–Scholes markets without factors\, we further devise a baseline algorithm and prove its performance guarantee by deriving a sublinear regret bound in terms of the Sharpe ratio. We then carry out an extensive empirical study implementing this algorithm to compare its performance and trading outcomes\, evaluated under a host of common metrics\, with a large number of widely employed portfolio allocation strategies on S&P 500 constituents. The results demonstrate that the proposed continuous-time RL strategy is consistently among the best\, especially in a volatile bear market\, and decisively outperforms the model-based continuous-time counterparts by significant margins. Joint work with Yilie Huang and Yanwei Jia.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Capturing Prestige: Human Trafficking in Japan's Maritime Borderlands\, c. 1350-1600
DESCRIPTION:This presentation traces the evolution of human trafficking networks among so-called Japanese pirates (Kn. Waegu\, Ch. Wokou) from the island of Tsushima located in the maritime borderlands between Japan\, Korea\, and China. It excavates the foundations of the East Asian dimensions of the early modern global circulation of enslaved peoples and shows how medieval Japanese transformations in commercialization\, local lordship\, and the integration of the archipelago into domestic and East Asian shipping circuits all depended on flows of captives. The lords of Tsushima\, the Sō family\, integrated slavery into the administrative machinery of their territorial domain and incentivized military service with awards tied to trafficking. For retainers\, local elites\, and commoner mariners\, such sanctioned trafficking became a source of prestige and family legacies. Incentivized by the promise of tax exemptions and other awards from the Sō\, their piratical enterprises raided Korean and Chinese coasts\, engaged in military campaigns in Kyushu\, and resocialized captives into slaves by modifying regional ascriptive ethnic and status categories. Patronage by the Sō connected Tsushima slavers to the apex of Japan’s warrior hierarchy\, the Ashikaga shogunate. This history invites reconsideration of trafficking in medieval Japan as a low-status\, opportunistic\, and declining trade.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mean Field Control and Applications in Modern Machine Learning
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will introduce mean field control and discuss its applications in modern machine learning. I will first describe how numerical algorithms for mean field control can be developed by combining propagation of chaos with machine learning techniques\, together with theoretical guarantees for these methods. I will then present two complementary applications. The first is computational\, concerning the use of mean field control in generative AI. The second is theoretical\, concerning a mathematical framework for understanding implicit regularization in the training of overparameterized neural networks.\nThis talk is based on the joint works with Beatrice Acciaio\, Jakob Heiss\, Jin Ma\, Gudmund Pammer\, H. Mete Soner\, Ying Tan\, Josef Teichmann and Renyuan Xu.

DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, University of Michigan students launched the 100-Year Space Mission\, an ambitious effort to preserve the voices of the U-M community for a century. A CubeSat was designed and built\, but technical and regulatory barriers prevented the mission from launching.\n\nThe archive still exists. The CubeSat still exists. The engineering challenge remains open.\n\nThis year’s MPowered Innovation Challenge invites student teams to design a CubeSat-class robotic system capable of:\n\n• Emerging from a spacecraft near or on the lunar surface\n• Delivering a U-M time capsule to a designated location\n• Planting a University of Michigan flag\n• Capturing and returning video or images documenting the deployment\n\nThis is a conceptual systems engineering challenge grounded in real aerospace constraints.\n\nTeams will be expected to:\n• Define and justify Size\, Weight\, and Power\, also known as SWaP\n• Consider launch cost implications based on mass\n• Design a communications strategy to return images or video\n• Defend engineering tradeoffs clearly and realistically\n• Present a physical\, digital\, or hybrid demonstration\n\nWhy Participate?\n• Compete for cash prizes\n• Showcase your work to faculty and space technology experts\n• Build a high-impact portfolio project\n• Contribute ideas that could inform a near-term lunar mission concept\n\nPrizes will be awarded for:\n• Best in Show\n• Best SWaP Optimization\, Feasible Design\n• Best Communications Concept\n\nImportant Dates\nTeaser released: February 25\nChallenge announcement: March 4\nTeam registration deadline: March 14\nCompetition night: March 25\, 6 to 9 PM\n\nThis challenge is open to students across engineering\, robotics\, computer science\, design\, business\, and beyond.\n\nStart with constraints. Design within them. Defend your tradeoffs. We look forward to seeing what you build.\n\nAny questions? Contact MPowered Innovation Challenge Director Bodhi White bodhes@umich.edu\n\nWe Will Reach Out Within 72 Hours of Form Submission.\n\nMore details about the challenge and RSVP info: https://myumi.ch/VVjNW

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interfaith Photovoice: Discovering Human Connection Through the Lens
DESCRIPTION:What if a set of photos could completely transform how you understand your purpose\, the experiences of others\, and the value of humanity? With over 5 billion pictures taken globally every day\, Photovoice uses this powerful medium to foster deeper connections and understanding between participants. In this 90-minute interactive session\, you’ll use photographs to reflect\, share your story\, and engage in meaningful dialogue with others. Whether you're looking to explore your own journey or connect with diverse perspectives\, this innovative experience is designed for everyone. No photography skills are needed—just bring your curiosity and an open mind! Come capture more than just a moment—discover the stories behind the images!\n\nThe theme for February is \"transformation.\" The Lunar New Year\, Lent\, Ramadan\, and the turn into spring all touch on this theme. Snap 3-5 photos that relate to the theme of transformation for you\, and be prepared to share and talk about them with others during this event. \n\nWe strongly encourage you to print the photos or bring them in a slidedeck on your laptop.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Orren C. Mohler Prize Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Title of Talk: Building ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope – a unique adventure\n\nAbstract: Scientists around the world are pushing for the next generation of optical/infrared ground-based telescopes with primary mirror diameters from 25 to 40 meters. Finding and characterizing exo-Earths orbiting solar type stars\, some of which may host life\, getting close to the physics of black holes\, peering into galaxy formation at early stages and many other scientific goals in our understanding of the Universe require such enterprises. ESO has now completed ¾ of the construction of its Extremely Large Telescope\, the largest of this new generation with a diameter of over 39 meters\, with a first science light planned for the turn of the decade. The challenges brought by this unique adventure range from amazingly demanding technical requirements\, the development of new technologies\, international cooperation in science\, and a huge programmatic effort involving not only ESO’s 63-year old Intergovernmental Organization with hundreds of people working on the project\, but the scientific community\, R&D institutions and many companies pushing their knowhow to the limit. I will address this multi-faceted challenge which addresses the construction of one of the largest Research Infrastructures on Earth.\n\nTalk and Reception at the Rogel Ballroom\, Michigan Union.

SUMMARY:Performance:Eliza McLamb
DESCRIPTION:Good Story Tour\n\nIt appears to be a trophy at first. Look closer\, and you’ll see the cover of Good Story features Eliza McLamb holding a makeshift award\, hot-glued together from scraps she and her mother salvaged. It is\, of course\, silver — a self-deprecating wink introducing the timbre of McLamb’s sophomore album. These last few years\, McLamb’s been parsing her upbringing\, the songs she wrote about it\, and the whole endeavor of the stories we tell about ourselves. “If you get really good at telling the story of who you are\, you become the story you told instead of the ever-dynamic\, ever-changing person you have to be\,” McLamb says. “I did really well telling the story of who I am\, but I began asking: What’s the point of it?” \n\nAt only 23\, McLamb has already lived multiple lives. In her late teens\, McLamb found success via co-hosting the podcast Binchtopia and sharing songs on TikTok. She soon pulled back from the platform\, feeling it didn’t represent her actual ethos as a songwriter. Instead\, she signed to Royal Mountain and released her 2024 debut Going Through It\, a document of a complex\, traumatic childhood that led to searching phases — dropping out of college during the pandemic in favor of working on Midwest farms\, eventually leaving her North Carolina hometown behind for Los Angeles. It all gave her plenty of stories to tell on Going Through It. And now on Good Story\, she wonders how that process affected her. Yet the homemade trophy of Good Story’s cover is far from a jocular consolation prize alone. It’s a symbol of the layered\, accomplished writing McLamb arrived at as she interrogated everything she thought she was about as an artist.

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:Recreational / Games:Riichi Mahjong Tournament 
DESCRIPTION:This tournament will be split into two phases: Week 1 (Preliminaries/Qualifiers) and Week 2 (Playoff).\n\nEach player will have the opportunity to play in a designated number of east rounds\, and is assigned ranking points based on the final position and points the player obtains in each game. \n\nWhen each player has played the designated number of games\, everybody will be ranked based on the accumulative ranking points earned. Players who end up above the playoff line will advance and be given a seed number based on how they finished relative to the other qualifiers. \n\nThe playoffs will feature a swiss-style format\, where increasingly lower number seeds (better qualifying ranking) will have the benefit of playing increasingly higher ranked seeds. The championship match is guaranteed to be a hanchan.\n\n\nNote: *Players need to have a basic understanding of the rules of the game in order to partake in the tournament \n\n

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:Flyways
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration\, political exile\, queerness\, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

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:Dynamic Local Average Treatment Effects in Time Series
DESCRIPTION:This paper discusses identification\, estimation\, and inference on dynamic local average treatment effects (LATEs) in instrumental variables (IVs) settings. First\, we show that com- pliers—observations whose treatment status is affected by the instrument—can be identified individually in time series data using smoothness assumptions and local comparisons of treat- ment assignments. Second\, we show that this result enables not only better interpretability of IV estimates but also direct testing of the exclusion restriction by comparing outcomes among identified non-compliers across instrument values. Third\, we document pervasive weak identifi- cation in applied work using IVs with time series data by surveying recent publications in leading economics journals. However\, we find that strong identification often holds in large subsamples for which the instrument induces changes in the treatment. Motivated by this\, we introduce a method based on dynamic programming to detect the most strongly-identified subsample and show how to use this subsample to improve estimation and inference. We also develop new identification-robust inference procedures that focus on the most strongly-identified subsample\, offering efficiency gains relative to existing full sample identification-robust inference when iden- tification fails over parts of the sample. Finally\, we apply our results to heteroskedasticity-based identification of monetary policy effects. We find that about 75% of observations are compliers (i.e.\, cases where the variance of the policy shifts up on FOMC announcement days)\, and we fail to reject the exclusion restriction. Estimation using the most strongly-identified subsample helps reconcile conflicting IV and GMM estimates in the literature.

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

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Research Institute | Have we seen a demonstration of experimental quantum advantage?
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project\, 2301 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109\, USA\, PML2000\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/94764879233?jst=2\n\nAbstract: A major goal for the field of quantum computation is “quantum advantage\" -- the first experimental demonstration of a quantum computation that is beyond the capabilities of any classical computer.  While we have now seen many quantum advantage claims made by experimental groups around the world\, many of these claims have been disproven.  \n\nIn this talk\, we'll discuss the status quo regarding the latest experimental quantum advantage claims and the evidence for their classical hardness.  We’ll then discuss the classical verification problem\, and propose a new quantum advantage proposal that uses ideas from quantum error correction to enable a large gap between classical verification and simulation.\n\nBio:\nI am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago.\nPreviously\, I held research positions at the University of California at Berkeley\, advised by Umesh Vazirani\, and in QuICS\, at the University of Maryland/NIST.\nI received my Ph.D. in computer science from the Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences and the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter at Caltech\, co-advised by Alexei Kitaev and Chris Umans.

New funding programs might require researchers to demonstrate their research impact at the proposal stage through established partnerships with companies that signal market interest or investment\, formal commitments like licensing agreements\, and/or evidence of technology readiness levels. Researchers who build these industry partnerships in advance will have a critical edge in a competitive funding landscape.\n\nThe Office of Research Development will host a webinar series for U-M researchers that explains why and how to build industry partnerships that advance mutual R&D goals. Webinars will take place noon-1:30 pm each day\; calendar invites will be sent upon registration. \n\nFebruary 25: Discovery to Innovation - Gain a practical framework for deciding when to engage industry\, how to demonstrate impact credibly and which funding mechanisms align with research maturing and scholarly goals.\nMarch 26: Industry Engagement for Faculty: From Early Signals to Funded Partnerships - Learn meaningful engagement strategies across the research lifecycle\, emphasizing alignment with academic incentives\, research integrity and appropriate funding mechanisms. \nApril 9: Building Industry Partnerships that Last: Whom to Talk to\, What to Ask - Learn how to identify the right industry counterparts\, structure early conversations to surface meaningful research and translational opportunities and set expectations that can evolve into sustained collaboration.   \nContact RD-Support@umich.edu with questions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Transgressive Navigation: Tanegashima\, Kyoto\, and the Wokou in Sixteenth-Century Maritime East Asia
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 555\, Weiser Hall\, and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at https://myumi.ch/A1DNw\n   \n   This presentation uses the theme of navigation to rewrite the sixteenth-century history of so-called Japanese pirates (Ch. *Wokou*) from the participating seafarers’ perspectives. To do so\, Professor Shapinsky traces the development of patronage networks and sea-routes linking islanders from Tanegashima in the Japanese archipelago with Kyoto aristocrats\, Ashikaga shogunal officials\, Chinese diplomatic envoys\, and Chinese sea merchants. These last integrated Tanegashima seafarers into raiding and trading consortia during the high tide of Wokou activity during the 1540s and 1550s.\n   \n   Peter Shapinsky is a professor of history at the University of Illinois\, Springfield. He is the author of *Lords of the Sea: Pirates\, Violence\, and Commerce in Late Medieval Japan* (Ann Arbor: Center for Japanese Studies\, University of Michigan\, 2014) and several articles and chapters\, including “Merchants\, Monks\, and Marauders: Medieval Japan on and over the Seas\,” forthcoming in the new *Cambridge History of Japan.*\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cjsevents@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:DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar by Jonah Rosenblum
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nGenomic data from a single institution lacks global diversity representation\, especially for rare variants and diseases. Confidential computing can enable collaborative genome-wide association studies (GWAS) without compromising privacy or accuracy. However\, due to limited secure memory space and performance overheads\, previous solutions fail to support widely used regression methods. Here we present SECRET-GWAS—a rapid\, privacy-preserving\, population-scale\, collaborative GWAS tool. We discuss several system optimizations\, including streaming\, batching\, data parallelization and reducing trusted hardware overheads to efficiently scale linear and logistic regression to over a thousand processor cores on an Intel SGX-based cloud platform. In addition\, we protect SECRET-GWAS against several hardware side-channel attacks. SECRET-GWAS is an open-source tool and works with the widely used Hail genomic analysis framework. Our experiments on Azure’s Confidential Computing platform demonstrate that SECRET-GWAS enables multivariate linear and logistic regression GWAS queries on population-scale datasets from ten independent sources in just 4.5 and 29 minutes\, respectively.\n\nAbout the DCMB Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Medical Science Building 1 (MS1)\, Room 4B700\, each Thursday at 12pm EST. Each seminar highlights a computational tool\, technology\, or methodology that is under development or in current use and is of special interest to DCMB and University researchers. Presenters are U-M researchers and students.\n\nThese seminars are live-streamed and recorded and made available for future viewing via the DCMB YouTube Channel

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Residential Air Purifiers and the Value of Clean Air
DESCRIPTION:In this paper\, we show that standard approaches for valuing non-market amenities like clean air through defensive expenditures are methodologically fragile. Estimates are highly sensitive to assumptions about household use of defensive technologies\, and survey data on usage is unreliable. Moreover\, because researchers convert a one-time purchase or willingness-to-pay elicitation into a flow value by dividing by assumed hours of use\, lower assumed usage can mechanically imply higher valuations. To address this fragility\, we develop a revealed- preference approach that estimates the flow value of clean air using high-frequency data on residential air purifier usage in Dhaka\, Bangladesh. Leveraging randomized variation in the marginal cost of operation\, we recover the households’ trade-off between money and clean air without relying on purchase decisions or stated usage intentions. We find that the marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) for clean air is lower and much more tightly bounded than previous estimates. This low valuation is not driven by traditional market frictions like liquidity constraints or misperceptions about pollution severity and technology effectiveness\, suggesting limits to environmental policies that rely on sustained complementary household action.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Surgery with sound waves: delivering acoustic energy to the body for ultrasound surgery (histotripsy)\n\nAbstract:\nHistotripsy is a non-invasive\, non-thermal\, and non-ionizing tissue ablation method that was recently (Oct. 2023) approved by the FDA for the non-invasive treatment of liver tumors. Histotripsy is a platform technology\, with the potential to enable truly non-invasive surgery for many applications throughout the body\, from the abdominal region to the limbs\, brain\, and spine. However\, we currently cannot perform histotripsy everywhere in the body due to limitations in our ability to safely deliver sufficient acoustic energy to the target through heterogeneous\, attenuating bodily tissues. In this talk\, I will present my work to (1) numerically model and quantify acoustic energy delivery to the body\, and (2) optimize acoustic energy delivery through complex tissues via adaptive signal processing methods. I will discuss how these technologies will help expand the region where we can perform histotripsy\, broaden the population of patients who can receive histotripsy treatment\, and enable novel histotripsy applications.     \n\nBio:\nDr. Ellen Yeats is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and member of the Histotripsy Lab\, where she is advised by Dr. Zhen Xu and Dr. Timothy Hall. She received her B.S.E. in Biomedical Engineering from Vanderbilt University in 2017 and her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Michigan in 2024. In 2025\, Dr. Yeats was awarded an NIH T32 Training Fellowship through the Michigan Translational Imaging Program (M-TIP) with the Department of Radiology of University of Michigan Medicine\, where she is working with Dr. Shane Wells to develop improved imaging guidance and targeting for histotripsy. Through her research\, Dr. Yeats develops technologies that optimize the targeting and delivery of acoustic energy to the body for histotripsy. Her work aims to improve current clinical histotripsy treatments in the liver and to expand histotripsy applications to new\, challenging targets in the pelvis and spine.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899: Yue Wang
DESCRIPTION:This seminar begins with an overview of research at the Interdisciplinary & Intelligent Research (I2R) Lab focused on human–robot interaction and autonomy. We discuss computational models for human trust in robots\, how trust can be quantified and learned\, and how it can be incorporated into robot decision-making\, motion planning\, and control to achieve safer autonomy with higher user acceptance. Building on these models\, the talk highlights learning-based approaches that enable robots to reason under uncertainty and adapt to human preferences. We consider reinforcement learning in which key quantities\, such as value functions\, are represented probabilistically rather than as point estimates. These methods enable more stable and dataefficient learning. We then address collaborative settings involving multiple agents. By inferring global context through structured local information exchange\, these approaches support scalable\, robust collaboration without reliance on centralized critics or global information.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Energy for a Sustainable Future
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n Energy is at the root of many global challenges such as climate change\, food production\, clean water\, and geo-political tensions\, but discussions of this important subject are hampered by the fact that different sources of energy are described in different units making it difficult to compare relative contributions. I find the use of a simple visualizable unit\, a cubic mile of oil (cmo) as the metric for comparing all energy sources extremely helpful. Use of cmo evokes a visceral response and dispenses with mind-numbing multipliers like billions\, and trillions or unfamiliar quantities like Watts and Btus.\n\nThe world currently uses 4 cmo of energy\, and by 2050 the demand for energy is expected to increase to over 6 cmo. Electricity consumption is expected to more than double by then\, and this demand cannot be met through measures promoting conservation and improving energy efficiency alone\, nor as I will show\, can renewable sources like wind and solar fulfill this need. Nuclear power can deliver the requisite energy but getting the public to embrace nuclear power is a herculean task. People are concerned over plant safety\, long-term storage of spent fuel\, and nuclear proliferation. I will discuss these concerns and our general fear of radiation. I will also discuss the newer nuclear designs that are walk-away safe\, use accumulated spent fuel\, as well as nuclear materials in weapons—a modern-day version of beating swords into plowshares.\n\nBiography:\nRipudaman Malhotra is a retired organic chemist\, and during his career at SRI International he specialized on energy-related issues. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles and several technical monographs. In 2010 he co-authored “A Cubic Mile of Oil:  The Looming Energy Crisis and Options for Averting It\,” The book is a citizen’s guide to energy and to call for an informed public debate on energy\, arguably the biggest challenge we face. In 2005 he was named an SRI Fellow\; the highest award SRI bestows on its employees for excellence in research. In 2015 he received the Storch Award from the American Chemical Society’s Division of Energy and Fuels\, and in 2018 he was named a Fellow of the American Chemical Society

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Department of Astronomy 2025-2026 Colloquium Series Presents:
DESCRIPTION:\"ESO for astronomers: updates and opportunities\"\n\nAbstract: The European Southern Observatory is currently operating two world-class astronomical observatories: La Silla Paranal (optical/IR) and ALMA (sub/mm)\, the latter in partnership with North America and East Asia. Vigorous development programs for both observatories are being tackled in order to maintain their scientific competitiveness. ESO is also building the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) which will be operated together with the VLT and VLTI in Paranal at the turn of the decade. In the next few years the first VHE Gamma-Ray observatory CTAO (Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory)\, of which ESO is a founding partner\, will start early science operations in the southern site\, also as part of the Paranal site. With this portfolio\, ESO has become a multi-program organization\, with facilities across the wavelength spectrum\, enabling many scientific breakthroughs. Moving forward\, ESO has launched the Expanding Horizons process to identify a transformational facility for the 2040s which would become its next Program after the ELT. I will underline opportunities to both access science data from these facilities\, as well as to collaborate in instrument development.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Michigan Lectures in Algebraic Geometry and Topology: Stable homology of moduli spaces and moments in families of L-functions over function fields
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, several problems in arithmetic statistics that seem completely intractable over number fields\, have been resolved in the case of function fields by geometric methods\; more specifically\, by casting the problem in terms of the homology of a suitable moduli space of algebraic curves\, and understanding the homology asymptotically. Perhaps the most notable is the work of Ellenberg-Venkatesh-Westerland and Landesman-Levy on Cohen-Lenstra heuristics. \n\nI will talk about joint work with Bergström-Diaconu-Westerland and Miller-Patzt-Randal-Williams\, where this paradigm is applied to another problem in analytic number theory. There is a \"recipe\" due to Conrey-Farmer-Keating-Rubinstein-Snaith (CFKRS) which allows for precise predictions for the asymptotics of moments of many different families of L-functions. We consider the family of all L-functions attached to hyperelliptic curves over some fixed finite field\, in which case we are able to prove the CFKRS predictions for all moments\, for all sufficiently large (but fixed) q.\nWe do this by studying the homology of the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves\, with symplectic coefficients: we compute the stable homology groups\, together with their structure as Galois representations\, and prove a novel homological stability theorem in this setting. The proofs use homotopical ideas developed in connection with the Mumford conjecture\, Borel's work on stable real cohomology of arithmetic groups\, logarithmic algebraic geometry\, and cellular E_k-algebras.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:DE Seminar: Smooth and swirling steady vortex rings near the Hill - Norbury Family
DESCRIPTION:Hill's spherical vortex is a classical explicit solution to the three dimensional Euler equations. It is an axisymmetric and swirl-free traveling wave solution with compactly supported yet discontinuous vorticity. In this talk we will explore the space of nearby Euler steady states and\, in particular\, prove that Hill's solution is the limit of traveling vortex rings that are smooth to infinite order. Along the way\, we shall unveil certain pathological aspects of this space of steady solutions. This is forthcoming joint work with Razvan Radu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Gene regulation and physiological adaptation: insight from hibernation in bears
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - Hibernation is a complex adaptation involving suppression of metabolism\, body temperature\, and activity during periods of prolonged resource scarcity. Understanding the genomic basis of hibernation can provide a better understanding for how physiological adaptations are gained\, lost\, and modified through evolution\, and how the modification of gene regulatory mechanisms can play a role in this process. This talk will highlight recent work integrating functional and evolutionary genomic approaches to uncover the gene regulatory mechanisms that underlie hibernation in brown bears (Ursus arctos) and investigate the evolution of hibernation across extant bear species.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Ordering the Sky: The Atmospherics of Sovereignty in the Hellenistic World
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will explore the relationship between unruly weather and ancient kingship\, proposing: first\, a widely acknowledged mode of meteorological legitimacy\; second\, that in certain configurations the atmospheric sky became an available object for management and manipulation\; and third\, that\, in consequence\, it became a landscape for thinking through the limits of sovereignty.\n\nPaul J. Kosmin (Philip J. King Professor of Ancient History at Harvard University) works on the political\, cultural\, and intellectual history of the ancient Greek world\, broadly understood. The core of his work to date has focused on the Hellenistic east – the political landscape that extended from the Greek mainland to India and Central Asia in the last three centuries BCE – and on three broad historical themes: the relationship between empires and systems of knowledge\; the interaction between the Greek world and its Near Eastern neighbors\; and ancient societies’ engagement with the “planetary”.\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:GEOMETRY SEMINAR    Actions of Lattices Preserving Flag Structures
DESCRIPTION:The general theme of this talk is understanding the possible actions of a group on closed manifolds. When the group is a lattice in a higher-rank semisimple Lie group\, it is expected that all possible actions are combinations of those inherited from the Lie group itself. While this has been proved in a few cases\, it remains largely open in general. We will examine a specific situation where the manifolds carry a flag structure and the actions preserve that structure\, leading to a classification of such actions. This talk is based on joint work with Vincent Pecastaing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Taverns and the Post-Revolutionary Republican Experiment
DESCRIPTION:In Accommodating the Republic: Use of Taverns in the Early United States\, Kirsten Wood explores how Americans' use taverns in their pursuits of happiness helped flesh out the evolving meaning of citizenship in the young United States.  In this talk\, she looks at the years following the Revolutionary War\, when Americans continued to use their neighborhood taverns as sites for gathering and political mobilization.  The scope and significance of practices that had been so central to the revolutionary struggle shifted in the early republic\, as Americans wrestled with the promise and problems of republican self-government.  Although the mid-nineteenth-century temperance movement would soon frame tavern-going as the habit of dangerously shiftless men\, in the republic's early decades\, entrepreneurial\, improvement-minded men—and some women!--went to taverns to raise capital\, promote innovative businesses\, practice genteel sociability\, and put republican self-government into practice.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Emily Wilbourne\, \"Impersonation and the Voice” 
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Musicology hosts a talk by guest scholar Emily Wilbourne (CUNY Queen’s college and Graduate Center)\; free and open to the public.\n\nWilbourne describes her presentation:\n\n\"In Western culture\, the voice plays an overdetermined role in the literal and metaphorical representation of personhood. We find our voice\, raise our voice\, recognize each other by the sounds of our voices\, and – through the democratic process – we hear the voice of the people. In this paper\, I am interested in voices that are misrecognized or misheard: voices that through illness\, medical treatment\, or training\, confound expectations in ways that foreground the sonic materiality of the voice and its relationship to cultural expectations.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:36th Annual David W. Belin Lecture: Orthodox Jewish Wellness Influencers in the Age of Viral Politics
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan Frankel Center for Judaic Studies is pleased to announce that Professor Ayala Fader of Fordham University will deliver the 36th Annual David W. Belin Lecture\, titled “Orthodox Jewish Wellness Influencers in the Age of Viral Politics.” \n\nOver the past decade\, frum (Orthodox) Jewish women wellness influencers on social media have become a significant presence. Despite attempts by some rabbis to silence them\, frum influencers in the United States and Israel continue to share intimate details of their everyday lives online\, earning a living through the promotion of products linked to their platforms. Professor Fader’s talk examines the seemingly contradictory worlds these influencers navigate: while claiming new forms of gendered authority\, they simultaneously reinforce traditional Jewish family structures and gender roles.\n\nDrawing inspiration from conservative Christian wellness influencers\, frum influencers create content that asserts Jewish exceptionalism while fostering unexpected exchanges with conservative Christian women. The lecture will consider whether frum social media influencers are subtly promoting illiberal politics through the gendered language of wellness.\n\nAyala Fader is Professor of Anthropology and Jewish Studies at Fordham University. She is the author of the award-winning books Mitzvah Girls (2009) and Hidden Heretics (2020). Professor Fader’s research has been generously supported by numerous fellowships and grants\, including those from the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. As the founding director of Fordham’s New York Center for Public Anthropology & Sociology\, she leads the Demystifying Language Project\, which makes linguistic anthropology a social justice resource for public high schools. This Spring\, Fader is a fellow at the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies\n\n\nABOUT THE BELIN LECTURE:\n\nThe David W. Belin Lecture in American Jewish Affairs was established in 1991 through a generous gift from the late David W. Belin of Des Moines (IA) and New York to provide an academic forum for the discussion of contemporary Jewish life in the United States. As the founding chair of Reform Judaism's Outreach Commission and a founding member of the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous\, Belin served the American Jewish community in numerous leadership roles. His commitment to the future of American Jewry inspired him to endow this annual lectureship\, providing a forum for meaningful discussion of contemporary Jewish life in the United States.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Shana Moulton
DESCRIPTION:\n\nShana Moulton is an artist who works in video and performance. Her work blends feminist sensibilities with surrealist imagery and sound to probe the complexities of the contemporary psyche.\n\nHer ongoing Whispering Pines series investigates self-help culture\, the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment\, and the often comical absurdities of personal wellness rituals. Across performances\, videos\, and installations\, Moulton uses her alter ego\, Cynthia\, to craft narratives that are both deeply personal and widely relatable\, exploring the shifting boundaries between the mundane and the mystical in an era of global digital capitalism. Cynthia is in constant pursuit of fulfillment through new-age kitsch\, self-help paraphernalia\, and cosmetic rituals. The series takes its name from the mobile home park where Moulton grew up\, located between Fresno\, California\, and Yosemite National Park.\n\nThrough these works\, Moulton transforms ordinary objects\, domestic rituals\, and everyday spaces into intimate\, surreal landscapes that reflect on anxiety\, consumerism\, and the search for meaning in contemporary life.\n\nHer work invites audiences into a playful yet contemplative world\, where humor and vulnerability coexist\, encouraging reflection on the ways we navigate self-care\, technology\, and personal transformation in the modern age.\n\nMoulton’s videos have appeared in exhibitions and screenings around the world\, with presentations at venues and festivals such as The Armory Show Art Fair\, New York\; Smack Mellon\, Brooklyn\; Loop ’05 Video Festival\, Barcelona\; Rencontres internationales Paris/Berlin\, Paris\; Aurora\, Edinburgh\; Dark Light Festival\, Dublin\; Impakt Festival\, Utrecht\; Internationale Kurzfilmtage\, Oberhausen\; Canada Gallery\, New York\; and Bellwether\, New York. \n\nIn Partnership with the Ann Arbor Film Festival.\n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reading and Q&A with Danielle Evans
DESCRIPTION:Login here (no pre-registration needed): http://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters25\n\nZell Visiting Writers Series readings and Q&As are free and open to the public. Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot.\n\nDanielle Evans is the author of the story collections *The Office of Historical Corrections and Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self.* Her first collection won the PEN American Robert W. Bingham Prize\, the Hurston-Wright award for fiction\, and the Paterson Prize for fiction\; her second won the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize and The Bridge Book Award and was a finalist for The Aspen Prize\, The Story Prize\, and The LA Times Book prize. She is a 2024 USA Artists Fellow\, a 2020 National Endowment for the Arts fellow\, and the winner of New Literary Project Joyce Carol Oates Prize. Her stories have appeared in magazines including *The Paris Review\, A Public Space\, American Short* *Fiction\, and The Sewanee Review*\, and have been anthologized in *The Best American Short Stories and New Stories From The South*. She is an Associate Professor in The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University and earned her MFA from The University of Iowa. \n\nHer work is interested in the gap between what happened and how people talk about it—what gets omitted or reframed\, what depends on whose version of the story is centered\, and how those gaps and omissions operate in the space of an individual life\, in a family\, and in a country. She is particularly interested in the question of performance: when the gulf between a character’s public self and private self is an act of conscious performance\, what makes a character aware that a role or performance is being demanded of them\, and how performance can be both an act of resistance and an act of acquiescence\, sometimes at the same time. \n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you. The building\, event space\, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Diaper changing tables are available in nearby restrooms.

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:Recreational / Games:Riichi Mahjong Tournament 
DESCRIPTION:This tournament will be split into two phases: Week 1 (Preliminaries/Qualifiers) and Week 2 (Playoff).\n\nEach player will have the opportunity to play in a designated number of east rounds\, and is assigned ranking points based on the final position and points the player obtains in each game. \n\nWhen each player has played the designated number of games\, everybody will be ranked based on the accumulative ranking points earned. Players who end up above the playoff line will advance and be given a seed number based on how they finished relative to the other qualifiers. \n\nThe playoffs will feature a swiss-style format\, where increasingly lower number seeds (better qualifying ranking) will have the benefit of playing increasingly higher ranked seeds. The championship match is guaranteed to be a hanchan.\n\n\nNote: *Players need to have a basic understanding of the rules of the game in order to partake in the tournament \n\n

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:Flyways
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani explores themes of migration\, political exile\, queerness\, and environmental crisis through the wildly imaginative and intricate scenarios she first stages in her studio. The tableaus—which often include live animals\, props\, even her parents—are then photographed\, documenting the artist’s process. Each photograph becomes a part of Soleimani’s rich visual storytelling.      \n\n*Flyways *presents a series of new photographs that include images evocative of her family’s history and migration story in juxtaposition with images of injured birds that are representative of Soleimani’s work as a wildlife rehabilitator. (In 2018\, Soleimani founded Congress of Birds\, a wild bird rehabilitation center in Rhode Island.) The change in her practice to include bird rescue results in a revolutionary body of work steeped in passion and articulated in a completely original visual language.

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:Craft Lecture: “Past\, Present Future: Shifting Time and Perspective in Fiction” by Danielle Evans
DESCRIPTION:*Login here (no pre-registration needed): http://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters25*\n\n*Zell Visiting Writers Series readings and Q&As are free and open to the public and will be offered both virtually (via Zoom) and in person (Michigan Union\, Anderson ABCDE). Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot.*\n\nDanielle Valore Evans is the author of the story collections *The Office of Historical Corrections* and *Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self*. Her first collection won the PEN American Robert W. Bingham Prize\, the Hurston-Wright award for fiction\, and the Paterson Prize for fiction\; her second won the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize and The Bridge Book Award and was a finalist for The Aspen Prize\, The Story Prize\, and *The LA Times* Book prize. She is a 2024 USA Artists Fellow\, a 2020 National Endowment for the Arts fellow\, and the winner of New Literary Project Joyce Carol Oates Prize. Her stories have appeared in magazines including *The Paris Review*\, *A Public Space*\, *American Short Fiction*\, and *The Sewanee Review\,* and have been anthologized in *The Best American Short Stories* and *New Stories From The South*. She is an Associate Professor in The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University and earned her MFA from The University of Iowa. \n\nHer work is interested in the gap between what happened and how people talk about it—what gets omitted or reframed\, what depends on whose version of the story is centered\, and how those gaps and omissions operate in the space of an individual life\, in a family\, and in a country. She is particularly interested in the question of performance: when the gulf between a character’s public self and private self is an act of conscious performance\, what makes a character aware that a role or performance is being demanded of them\, and how performance can be both an act of resistance and an act of acquiescence\, sometimes at the same time. \n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email kimjulie@umich.edu--we are eager to help ensure this event is inclusive to you. The building\, event space\, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Diaper changing tables are available in nearby restrooms. Gender-inclusive restrooms are available on every floor of the Union. ASL interpreters and CART services at in-person events are available upon request\; please email kimjulie@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event\, whenever possible\, to allow time to arrange services.\n\nU-M employees with a U-M parking permit may use the Church Street Parking Structure (525 Church St.\, Ann Arbor) or the Thompson Parking Structure (500 Thompson St.\, Ann Arbor). There is limited metered street parking on State Street and South University Avenue.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Delegated Screening: Evidence from Government-Backed Loans (with Felipe Brugués\, Thi Mai Anh Nguyen\, and Sebastián Vélez)
DESCRIPTION:Government guarantees are a ubiquitous policy tool\, leveraging intermediaries' informational advantage to allocate credit\, yet they introduce a fundamental agency conflict: by insulating lenders from losses\, they undermine the incentive to screen and distort product choice towards intermediaries' private benefits. This paper examines the power of dynamic incentives in mitigating both frictions. In the context of a large government-backed credit program in Colombia\, we find evidence that lenders conduct less screening and take on greater risk with government-backed loans than with their traditional products. However\, this tendency is mitigated by a dynamic quota-and-fee mechanism employed by the program.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“Why did you live? Is it all a terrible joke?”: A Mahler Talk by Joseph Horowitz
DESCRIPTION:Join the University Symphony Orchestra for a program with guest artist and author Joseph Horowitz\, generously sponsored by the Sally Fleming Master Class Fund. Free and open to the public.\n\nGustav Mahler once said: “Why did you live? Why did you suffer? Is it all a terrible joke? We have to solve these questions in some way if we are to continue living. Anyone whose life has heard this call must give an answer.”\n\nAmong Mahler’s nine symphonies\, the Sixth – known as “The Tragic” – furnishes the darkest record of his inner life. After conducting the dress rehearsal for the premiere\, in 1904\, he paced up and down\, sobbing\, wringing his hands\, unable to control himself. At the concert itself\, he was so afraid of the demons he had unleashed that he conducted badly. He subsequently conducted his Sixth Symphony only two times. According to his wife Alma: “No other work flowed so directly from his heart. We both cried at the time\; we felt so deeply what this music meant\, what it forebodingly told us.” Mahler himself felt he possessed a power to intuit the future.  \n\nWhat happens in Mahler’s Sixth? What is the “dark omen” of the finale\, with its three hammer blows of fate? And why should it matter to us – more than ever – today?\n\nMahler also said: “Tradition is not the worship of ashes\, but the preservation of fire.” His disciples revered him\; one – the conductor Oskar Fried – called him “pure in a superhuman way”\n\nJoseph Horowitz’s Mahler talk – with copious audio and video clips – will explore Mahler’s Sixth Symphony in the context of Mahler’s life and times. Then he’ll be joined by conductor Kenneth Kiesler to ask: What can we learn today from Mahler the conductor? \n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nJOSEPH HOROWITZ is an award-winning author\, concert producer\, film-maker\, and broadcaster. He is one of the most prominent and widely published writers on topics in American music. As an orchestral administrator and advisor\, he has been a pioneering force in the development of thematic programming and new concert formats. Horowitz’s most recent books include a novel\, *The Marriage: The Mahlers in New York*\, about which Clive Paget wrote in *Musical America*: “With his unparalleled knowledge of fin-de-siècle classical music in America\, Joseph Horowitz [has] brought us closer to Mahler and his wife Alma than any other author I have read. . . . At times\, your heart breaks for them both. . . . In Gustav and Alma Mahler\, Horowitz has created two of classical music’s most convincing fictional portraits.” Another Horowitz book\, *Dvorak’s Prophecy and the Vexed Fate of Black Classical Music*\, tells a story that “must be heard if classical music is to contribute to the national discussion on racial justice” (according to Mark Clague of the University of Michigan). A former *New York Times* music critic\, and Executive Director of the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra\, Horowitz works as an artistic consultant for orchestras throughout the US\, and also regularly produces 50-minute “More than Music” documentaries for National Public Radio.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AI for Better Social Science: Capabilities and Challenges with Survey Research
DESCRIPTION:Register to receive Zoom link at https://myumi.ch/n1dDV \n\nProgram: \n\nAI-Assisted Conversational Interviewing: Effects on Data Quality and Respondent Experience \nSoubhik Barari\, Senior Research Methodologist at NORC at the University of Chicago\, working on applied problems at the intersection of survey methodology\, data science\, and AI. \n\nAbstract: Standardized surveys scale efficiently but often lack depth\, while conversational interviews improve response quality but are costly and inconsistent. This study advances a framework for AI‑assisted conversational interviewing to bridge this divide and demonstrates evidence of its practical utility. In a web survey experiment with 1\,800 participants\, we deployed AI “chatbots” powered by large language models to probe respondents for elaboration and to code open‑ended answers in real time. The chatbots achieved reasonably strong accuracy in live coding\, though they exhibited some over-identification of themes\, partly reflecting respondents’ tendency to agree with AI suggestions. They elicited richer\, more detailed responses compared to standard surveys\, with only small trade‑offs in respondent experience. Overall\, our results demonstrate that AI‑supported conversational tools can meaningfully enhance the depth and quality of open‑ended data collection\, pointing to a new generation of scalable\, adaptive survey methods.\n\nLLMs as Synthetic Respondents: A Tool for Augmenting Human Surveys\nSerina Chang\, Assistant Professor at UC Berkeley\, jointly appointed in EECS and Computational Precision Health and part of the Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) Lab. \n\nAbstract: Surveys are an invaluable resource for understanding human opinions and behaviors\, but they require substantial time and effort. Large language models (LLMs) present new opportunities to predict responses to survey questions\, given their natural language abilities and social knowledge acquired during pretraining. Integrating LLMs as synthetic respondents into survey pipelines could improve efficiency across multiple stages—from pre-survey pilot testing and sampling design to post-survey data imputation and analysis—not as a replacement for human participants but as a way to augment existing workflows. However\, these opportunities also raise new challenges\, including how to accurately reflect the opinions of diverse subpopulations\, generalize to questions outside LLM training data\, and reduce computational costs. In this talk\, I describe how we address these challenges in our work. First\, we show that fine-tuning LLMs on survey data substantially improves their ability to predict public opinion\, generalizing to unseen surveys and subgroups. In complementary work\, rather than fine-tuning with additional data\, we leverage knowledge already encoded in the LLM\, showing with probes and sparse autoencoders that models contain far more internal knowledge of human opinions than their outputs reveal. Finally\, we present graph-based approaches as a lightweight alternative: a graph model equipped with language representations from LLMs—but requiring no further LLM training or inference—can match LLM performance on some survey tasks while using orders of magnitude less compute.\n\nValidation and Inference for Survey Research Using Silicon Sampling \nLisa Argyle\, Associate Professor of Political Science at Purdue\n\nAbstract: In both research and commercial applications\, AI is increasingly being used to create synthetic representations of humans. This raises at least two important questions for scientists as they consider the integration of this new tool: How can a researcher know if the silicon survey output is valid? And how can a researcher make new inferences on the basis of synthetic output? Drawing on a synthesis of research on silicon sampling\, I discuss the intellectual foundations of this approach\, the ongoing practical and theoretical challenges\, and cutting edge methodological tools. I conclude by proposing some best practices for conducting transparent open science using large language models.\n \nValidating LLM simulations as behavioral evidence\nJessica Hullman\, Ginni Rometty Professor of Computer Science and Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University.\n\nAbstract: A growing literature positions AI\, and especially large language models (LLMs)\, as a transformative technology for simulating human behavior in surveys and experiments. This promise sparks a debate over how best to leverage this new data source. While a growing number of empirical studies report that LLM-simulated responses can approximate patterns found in real survey and experimental data\, there is little consensus on what it means to show that AI surrogates are valid for the purpose of studying human behavior. I’ll contrast heuristic approaches to validation in the literature from statistical calibration approaches that account for biases learned on items for which human ground truth labels are known. While calibration approaches provide guarantees of the type that social scientists are accustomed to expecting from statistical methods\, they are not a panacea. I’ll describe limitations based on the nature of behavioral data and reflect on meta-scientific questions that arise about the epistemic status of silicon samples as behavioral data.\n\nDiscussant:  Ambuj Tewari\, Professor\, Department of Statistics\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Drama and Performance Interest Group
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: The event will now be entirely on Zoom\; please RSVP to receive the Zoom link: https://forms.gle/oNcLN7qMKYUZG2st8\n\nWe hope you will join us for an enriching presentation focused on technical\, practice-based aspects of drama and performance! Snacks will be served.\n\nProfessor Vincent's presentation will center on Moment Work\, a process of devising theatre pioneered by Tectonic Theatre Company\, based in New York City. Developed by theatre practitioners Moisés Kaufman and Barbara Pitts McAdams\, Moment Work is a collaborative\, bottom-up method for creating plays\, which involves breaking down stories into individual 'moments' (using all stage elements like light\, sound\, and props) and sequencing them to build a full narrative\, moving beyond traditional text-based playwriting. Moment Work can also be a method of reading and interpreting dramatic works.\n\nMichael Vincent (he/him) is Technical Director\, Program Administrator\, and Lecturer in Theatre Arts and Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Michael designs JHU Theatre's mainstage productions\, and oversees all technical aspects in Merrick Barn. Michael also works regularly in the professional theatres of Baltimore. He has recently served as set designer or Technical Director for ArtsCentric\, Fells Point Corner Theatre\, Strand Theatre\, and Baltimore Poet’s Theatre. At Hopkins he worked as Co-Director with John Astin for SUNDAY ON THE ROCKS in 2018\, as well Stage Manager\, Board Operator\, and other positions as needed. Michael is interested in all aspects of theatre and is grateful for continued opportunities to grow and explore the art form. He holds a BA in Political Science from JHU (2007) and an MFA in Theatre Arts from Towson University (2024).

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:What Is My “Academic” Voice?
DESCRIPTION:This workshop seeks to assist participants in realizing their writing voice and how it relates to academic conventions of formality and genre.\n\nDo you feel that your academic writing should “sound” a certain way? Have you been told to alter the way your thoughts show up on the page? Depending on the rhetorical situation\, audience\, and medium\, our writing voice adopts different formalities. During this workshop\, we’ll unpack how tone\, syntax\, and diction intertwine to encompass our individual writing style. We’ll begin by understanding your thought processes through presenting ideas in your own way\, then moving through exercises that will guide you through how to incorporate feedback while maintaining uniqueness and clarity.\n\nPresented by Chris Crowder\, Sweetland Center for Writing Faculty\n\nRegistration required. See Links.\n\nRackham/Sweetland Workshops\, co-sponsored by the Rackham Graduate School\, cover a host of topics designed to help graduate students in various aspects of writing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Archaeology from space: Applications of satellite remote sensing to past- and future-facing archaeological Issues
DESCRIPTION:Satellite remote sensing is widely implemented in environmental science\, geology\, and more recently\, in archaeological research. This is largely due to its efficiency in data collection and analyses at regional scales. Questions of human-environment interaction animate research within and across these fields with spectroscopy being a commonly employed technique. In this presentation\, I will detail two applications of remote sensing—one focused on strategies for raw material procurement of prehistoric hunter-gatherers in the Atacama Desert (Chile)\, and the other concerned with modern cultural resource management in southwestern Puerto Rico. Together\, these case studies demonstrate the utility of the method in both the study and preservation of archaeological phenomena.

Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: http://myumi.ch/e35rZ\n\nIndustries of extraction have long flourished in the resource rich region of southern Thailand\, the confluence of state interests and production coming to shape dynamics of intercommunal relations and to define and enforce categories of ethnicity and religion in the region. In this presentation\, Chantal Croteau focuses on one such industry – the tin mining industry\, which exploded along the southwestern coast of then Siam in the 19th century\, generating significant social and economic changes and bringing individuals with different ethnoreligious identities\, categories themselves remade and reformulated over time\, together in arduous and risky labor\, before the collapse of the industry in the late-1980s.\n   \n   Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and oral history conversations\, she examines the relations of kinship\, precarity\, and loss generated through the volatile world of the boom-and-bust southern tin mining industry\, a world made all the more unstable by earlier state practices that had cultivated debt and addiction within the mining community. Attending to narratives of economic precarity and migration and embodied practices of kinship such as the sharing of food and the caretaking of spiritually dangerous deceased persons\, she analyzes how the building of intimacy and kinship can operate as a strategy of survival in unpredictable times. However\, as the histories of my interlocutors reveal\, the making of kinship requires continuous cultivation\, as relations are fraught with fragility and risk.\n   \n   Chantal Croteau is a PhD Candidate in Sociocultural Anthropology at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Her long-term research investigates the intersections between extractive industries\, ecological change\, and intercommunal relations in southern Thailand. Previously\, she was a Charlotte W. Newcombe Fellow in religion and ethics. Her creative ethnographic work has been featured in Anthropology & Humanism\, Practicing Anthropology\, and Anthropology News.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Identity-Making and the Environment
DESCRIPTION:Humans are inherently entangled with and affected by the environmental landscapes in which they exist. Terrestrial\, aquatic\, and now even galactic environments are spaces of conquest\, habitation\, cultivation\, and destruction. Moreover\, these diverse environments play a large role in identity formation in these spaces.    \n  \nFor example\, Paul Kosmin’s latest work\, \"The Ancient Shore\,\" reframes the coast as a conceptual zone and the coastline as an unpredictable site with boundless possibilities. “The ancient shore was where the efforts of communal ordering and intellectual fabrication met the 'raw\,' unassimilated environment most continuously and maximally. It was—and perhaps remains—the primary location for orienting ourselves to a natural world that is given to us without being intended for us (3).” Coasts provide a spatial and chronological liminality where political\, cultural\, scientific\, and philosophical forms of knowledge were continuously invented and new identities claimed. This “spatial turn\,” along with questions of identity-making\, offers new insights into the study of environmental history and compels us to connect people\, objects\, states\, ideas\, and beliefs with places\, spaces\, and time in this light. In turn\, this workshop will explore these intersections between identity-making and the environment.\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:Livestream / Virtual:Flash Talk | Spartacus Stopped: Uncovering a Roman Defensive Wall
DESCRIPTION:March’s Flash Talk will highlight the research of Paolo Visonà\, a professor at the University of Kentucky and an IPAMAA alumnus (1985). In the Dossone della Melia forest in south-central Calabria\, Italy\, Dr. Visonà led a team that identified a 2.7-kilometer-long Roman defensive wall and ditch—initially constructed by the Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus to contain Spartacus and his forces during their slave revolt. The discovery also included numerous battle remnants such as broken iron weapons\, suggesting that a conflict occurred there. This talk will detail how Visonà’s team uncovered the wall’s historical significance\, all while shedding new light on Roman military history and Spartacus’s legendary rebellion.\n\nKelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators\, staff members\, researchers\, graduate students\, and guests talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. \n\nTo register for this Flash Talk\, fill out the form at https://forms.gle/4Uyt27BVfYXRRaGj9.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: Osborn Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Current Challenges to Global Nuclear Security\n\nAbstract\nNuclear deterrence\, nonproliferation\, and arms control have had notable success in the 80 years since World War II.  Recent and ongoing changes in the geopolitical landscape present significant challenges to continued success and to the peace and security that many nations have enjoyed for more than half a century.  U.S. strategies to maintain peace and security have aimed at sustaining a credible and effective nuclear deterrent and preventing the spread of nuclear weapons\, along with many other efforts.  Changes in force structures\, alliances\, partnerships\, and ambitions of potential adversaries have increased the challenges associated with nuclear deterrence\, and other changes are challenging the continued success of nuclear nonproliferation.  This talk will describe many of these challenges and discuss some of the ongoing efforts to meet them.\n\nBio\nDr. Adams began his nuclear career in 1977 as an engineering aide at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant near Chattanooga\, TN.  He has spent most of his career since 1986 engaged in a variety of roles related to national and international security.  His most recent major role was as the Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)\, where he was responsible for the programs that design\, manufacture\, certify\, transport\, maintain\, assess\, and dismantle U.S. nuclear weapons\, and for working with other government agencies on policy and force structure decisions related to the U.S. nuclear deterrent.  Prior to his Senate confirmation as Deputy Administrator\, Dr. Adams served on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology\; the Stockpile Assessment Team of the Strategic Advisory Group for U.S. Strategic Command\; the JASON defense advisory group\; the National Academies' Committee on International Security and Arms Control\; the Predictive Science Panel for the Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories (LLNL and LANL)\; the Mission Committee for LANL\; the Predictive Engineering Sciences Panel at Sandia National Laboratories\, and many other review and advisory bodies related to national security.  Dr. Adams spent more than five years as a physicist in the weapons program at LLNL and 30 years as Professor of Nuclear Engineering at Texas A&M University before serving as NNSA Deputy Administrator\, and he has returned to the Texas A&M University System as a Senior Advisor in the Nuclear Security Office.  Dr. Adams earned his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan and his B.S. degree in nuclear engineering from Mississippi State University.\n\nThe Richard K. Osborn Lecture series has been made possible by a generous endowment from MIT Professor Emeritus Sidney Yip\, a former student of Professor Osborn. These annual lectures are a tribute to Professor Osborn’s unwavering dedication to the education of students in fundamental science. The goal of these lectures is to inspire future generations of students in nuclear theory and simulation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Souls of Organizations: Learning\, Grief\, and Why Higher Education Boards Change Without Changing
DESCRIPTION:How do governing boards make decisions about diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) in contentious times\, and why does organizational learning at the governance level so often stall before producing lasting change? Drawing on a multi-year participatory action research collaboration with a governing board\, this talk traces how board members moved through cycles of intuiting\, interpreting\, and integrating as they developed a decision-making rubric for DEI\, yet never institutionalized it. The empirical case reveals a pattern this talk names as \"changing without changing\": boards can build tools\, develop shared language\, and demonstrate genuine learning while avoiding the deeper losses and possibilities that institutional transformation demands. Taking cues from the Du Boisian tradition of rendering visible the interiority that dominant frameworks suppress\, the talk explores what it might mean to take seriously the existential dimensions of institutional life that governance routinely flattens into strategic plans and performance metrics. When boards cannot name or grieve what is ending\, learning may circulate without landing. The talk opens a conversation about whether grief work belongs not at the margins of governance but at its foundation\, and whether attending to what organizations are losing is a precondition for organizational learning that actually transforms.

SUMMARY:Performance:GATZ
DESCRIPTION:\"The most remarkable achievement in theater not only of this year\, but also of this decade.” (The New York Times)\n\nOne morning in the shabby office of a mysterious small business\, an employee finds a copy of The Great Gatsby in the clutter on his desk. He starts to read it out loud… and doesn’t stop. At first\, his coworkers hardly notice. But after a series of strange coincidences\, it’s no longer clear whether he’s reading the book or the book is transforming him.\n\nA century after the publication of The Great Gatsby and 20 years after its acclaimed off-Broadway run\, Elevator Repair Service’s GATZ comes to Ann Arbor following its sold-out run at New York’s Public Theater in November 2024. Told over a single 6½-hour production (plus dinner break)\, GATZ is not just a retelling of the Gatsby story\, but an enactment of the novel in which Fitzgerald’s masterpiece is cleverly delivered word for word. This literary tour-de-force by one of American theater’s most exciting and inventive companies is “strangely seductive\, often revelatory\, and altogether ingenious.” (Chicago Sun-Times)\n\nThis performance will take place in four sections with two 15-minute intermissions and a 90-minute dinner break (dinner not included in ticket price) for a total length of approximately eight hours. Information about dinner options will be provided closer to the performances.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Twists\, Higher Dimer Covers\, and Web Duality for Grassmannian Cluster Algebras (Combinatorics)
DESCRIPTION:We study a twisted version of Fraser\, Lam\, and Le's higher boundary measurement map\, using face weights instead of edge weights\, thereby providing Laurent polynomial expansions\, in Plücker coordinates\, for twisted web immanants for Grassmannians. In some small cases\, Fraser\, Lam\, and Le observe a phenomenon they call \"web duality''\, where web immanants coincide with web invariants\, and they conjecture that this duality corresponds to transposing the standard Young tableaux that index basis webs. We show that this duality continues to hold for certain SL_3 and SL_4 webs.  Combining this with our twisted higher boundary measurement map\, we recover and extend formulas of Elkin-Musiker-Wright for twists of certain cluster variables. We also provide evidence supporting conjectures of Fomin-Pylyavskyy as well as one by Cheung-Dechant-He-Heyes-Hirst-Li classifying cluster variables of low Plücker degree in C[Gr(3\,n)].  This is joint work with Banaian\, Catania\, Gaetz\, Moore\, and Wright.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Learning from Quantum Experiments via Structured Signal Processing
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The 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\nContact: Zhiyan Ding

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Ensemble holography\, topological gravity\, and codes
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, a number of examples of bulk gravitational theories have arisen whose boundary duals are not individual quantum field theories but ensembles thereof.  By considering some exactly solvable examples of ensemble holography\,  I will address two questions:  When does an ensemble of CFTs have a bulk dual?  When is a topological field theory\, summed over a given set of topologies\, dual to an ensemble of boundary CFTs? The answers to both questions will turn out to be governed by codes.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sociocultural Anthropology Colloquium | “Seeking Shade in Sunny Mozambique: Comfort\, Care\, and Colorism”
DESCRIPTION:“In Mozambique\, shade is a precious resource secured through a mix of foresight and improvisation. Shade is also a special topic of conversation. Attending to the material culture of shade and to embodied ways of engaging built and natural environments\, I explore how thermal desires and expectations shape social relations in the Mozambican city of Inhambane\, while locating shade-seeking practices within hierarchies of care and labor\, or what I call the cultural politics of sweat. Thinking with scholars of thermal colonialism\, I show how narratives around thermal dis/comfort also reveal\, and sometimes obscure\, entrenched forms of colorism rooted in colonial imaginaries of the tropics and settler intimacies that continue to produce privilege and exclusion in Mozambique today. Shade-seeking\, then\, is not simply about keeping cool\, though it certainly is about that too.”\n\nDr. Archambault is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Concordia University and co-editor of AFRICA: Journal of the International Institute. Her work is based on ethnographic research in southern Mozambique and focuses on themes of intimacy\, suburbanization\, affect\, and embodiment. Cutting across much of her research is an interest in how materiality and temporality intersect in the crafting of lives worth living. She is the author of “Mobile Secrets: Youth\, Intimacy and the Politics of Pretense in Mozambique” (2017)\, and her recent work has been published in American Ethnologist\, Journal of Southern African Studies\, Critique of Anthropology\, and City & Society. She is currently working on a book project on well-being and the cultural politics of sweat in Mozambique.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Point counting and cohomology
DESCRIPTION:For varieties over finite fields\, counts of points on the variety are intimately related to cohomology. For a variety defined over a more general base\, it is natural to ask what conclusions we can draw about cohomology if the point counts over finite fields (obtained by base changing) are polynomial in the size of the finite field. In this talk\, we will explore the rich web of theorems that relate point counting and cohomology. We will also see some examples that illustrate both the power and the subtleties of these results.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Eric Roberts
DESCRIPTION:The Falkland Islands are an isolated micro-continent within the South Atlantic Ocean proximal to the South American continent and characterized by Paleozoic sedimentary successions for which connections with coeval depositional systems in southern Gondwana are debated. Two sets of mafic dikes cross-cut sedimentary units on the Falklands and represent the only volcanics in the islands. Aside from an isolated exposure of Proterozoic granite\, no other plutonic rocks are known to exist. Here we report the presence of rare to abundant intermediate to felsic volcanic and plutonic pebbles/cobbles from beaches along the northern and southern margins of the Falkland Islands for which there is no obvious source in the islands today. U-Pb LA-ICPMS dating of zircon grains separated from numerous representative volcanic cobbles from the northern beaches demonstrates a Middle-Late Jurassic provenance source between ~165-151 Ma. These ages are comparable to silicic volcanics in Patagonia\, South Africa and the Antarctic Peninsula of the Chon-Aike silicic large igneous province linked with initial Gondwanan break-up\, suggesting that similar volcanics are likely present in the proximal (shallow) offshore portion of the north Falklands that will potentially help to better refine the pre-break up position/tectonics of the Falklands within Gondwana.  Additional U-Pb dating of volcanic and plutonic cobbles from southern Falklands beaches indicates a different provenance source\, as indicated by a broad range of Jurassic to Paleocene ages\, which compare favorably with documented rocks from the islands\, submerged banks and volcanic edifices of the North Scotia Arc (e.g.\, Burdwood\, South Georgia). The timing and mechanisms for delivery of these large clasts to the Falkland Islands is confounding but may be related to large submarine slides off the Burdwood Bank and subsequent tsunami deposits during periods of lowered sea level during the Quaternary. Determining the provenance of these allochthonous clasts may help with understanding the complex tectonics of this region and timing of opening of the Scotia Arc and associated ocean currents.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Use Your Voice
DESCRIPTION:As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of America\, how is your family’s story a part of that history? Join us at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library to find out how one author answered that question!  Jean Alicia Elster gathered stories from her Michigan family\, also named the Fords\, to write her books. Her presentation will focus on learning and sharing family history through oral histories. She will share portions of the oral histories she obtained from family members and then read select passages from her Ford family historical fiction trilogy--WHO'S JIM HINES?\, THE COLORED CAR and HOW IT HAPPENS--to show how she used those oral histories to create the narratives in the books.\nShe will also offer tips on obtaining oral histories from family members during family gatherings such as reunions\, holidays and other celebrations. There will be time for Q & A at the end of the presentation\, and if you bring your copies of her books\, she will be available to sign them.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Ghosts of Scandals Past: Inter-Caste Relationships and the Question of the Village in Himalayan India
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/W64N7. Note\, this lecture will not be recorded and published at a later date.\n\nThis talk explores how the political economy of sexuality is at the heart of the question of the village in South Asia. It draws on ethnographic fieldwork in the Indian Himalaya to examine how specters of caste violence (literally) haunt the present in ways that disrupt idealized theories of the village as a distinct social formation. \n\nRadhika Govindrajan is an associate professor of anthropology and international studies at the University of Washington\, Seattle. She is the author of *Animal Intimacies: Interspecies Relatedness in India’s Central Himalayas* published by the University of Chicago Press in 2018 and Penguin India in 2019.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Michigan Lectures in Algebraic Geometry and Topology: Stable homology of moduli spaces and moments in families of L-functions over function fields
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, several problems in arithmetic statistics that seem completely intractable over number fields\, have been resolved in the case of function fields by geometric methods\; more specifically\, by casting the problem in terms of the homology of a suitable moduli space of algebraic curves\, and understanding the homology asymptotically. Perhaps the most notable is the work of Ellenberg-Venkatesh-Westerland and Landesman-Levy on Cohen-Lenstra heuristics. \n\nI will talk about joint work with Bergström-Diaconu-Westerland and Miller-Patzt-Randal-Williams\, where this paradigm is applied to another problem in analytic number theory. There is a \"recipe\" due to Conrey-Farmer-Keating-Rubinstein-Snaith (CFKRS) which allows for precise predictions for the asymptotics of moments of many different families of L-functions. We consider the family of all L-functions attached to hyperelliptic curves over some fixed finite field\, in which case we are able to prove the CFKRS predictions for all moments\, for all sufficiently large (but fixed) q.\nWe do this by studying the homology of the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves\, with symplectic coefficients: we compute the stable homology groups\, together with their structure as Galois representations\, and prove a novel homological stability theorem in this setting. The proofs use homotopical ideas developed in connection with the Mumford conjecture\, Borel's work on stable real cohomology of arithmetic groups\, logarithmic algebraic geometry\, and cellular E_k-algebras.

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

SUMMARY: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:Recreational / Games:Riichi Mahjong Tournament 
DESCRIPTION:This tournament will be split into two phases: Week 1 (Preliminaries/Qualifiers) and Week 2 (Playoff).\n\nEach player will have the opportunity to play in a designated number of east rounds\, and is assigned ranking points based on the final position and points the player obtains in each game. \n\nWhen each player has played the designated number of games\, everybody will be ranked based on the accumulative ranking points earned. Players who end up above the playoff line will advance and be given a seed number based on how they finished relative to the other qualifiers. \n\nThe playoffs will feature a swiss-style format\, where increasingly lower number seeds (better qualifying ranking) will have the benefit of playing increasingly higher ranked seeds. The championship match is guaranteed to be a hanchan.\n\n\nNote: *Players need to have a basic understanding of the rules of the game in order to partake in the tournament \n\n

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: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:Exhibition:What We Tend: The 2026 MFA Graduate Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nWhat We Tend: The 2026 MFA Thesis Exhibition is on view at the Stamps Gallery from March 20 — April 11\, 2026. The exhibition presents seven artists whose practices unfold through care—care for land\, for bodies\, for memory\, and for one another. Working across ritual\, non-linear time\, and intersectional inquiries into labor and domestic life\, these artists treat familial\, site-specific\, and sociopolitical histories as living structures rather than sealed archives. What We Tend features the work of MFA students River Forest Berry\, Michelle Cieloszczyk\, Zoë Dong\, Fiona Hoffer\, Michael ​“Modius Modi” King Jr.\, Michaela Nichelle\, and Sujay Saple.\n\nJoin us to celebrate the work of MFA graduate students at the Opening Reception on March 20 from 6 — 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served and artists will be present.\n\nPlease note: \n\nThroughout the exhibition\, visitors are encouraged to bring clean and empty aluminum cans to participate in Michaela Nichelle’s installation. \nThe exhibition will be closed to the public on Friday\, April 10.

Starring Lee Byung-hun as Yoo Man-soo\, the film follows a veteran paper company employee whose comfortable life is brutally upended when he is abruptly laid off. Terrified of losing his home\, Man-soo resorts to a darkly absurd and violent plan: systematically eliminating his competition in the cutthroat paper industry to secure the one remaining job he desperately needs. The film has received major acclaim\, sweeping the 46th Blue Dragon Film Awards with wins including Best Film\, Best Director (Park Chan-wook)\, and Best Actress (Son Ye-jin). It has also garnered international attention with an International People's Choice Award win at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and three historic nominations at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards\, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Actor (Lee Byung-hun).\n   \n   Directed by Park Chan-wook\n   Presented in Korean with English subtitles\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at outreachkorea@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Tours:Saturday Sampler Tour | Exploring the Roman Provinces
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes we talk about “ancient Rome” as if it were just one city\, with everyone basically the same. In today’s tour\, we will look at the diversity of the Roman provinces\, from Egypt to Syria to Carthage and beyond. We will look at how trade\, war\, and the emperors themselves spread goods and beliefs around the Roman Empire. We will also consider some of the differences between the provinces.\n\nThis event is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:Ann Arbor Film Festival. Short Films by Ukrainian Filmmakers
DESCRIPTION:This year's Ann Arbor Film Festival has dedicated one entire *Shorts in Competition* program to the work of Ukrainian filmmakers. FIC 10 – Ukrainian Films foregrounds voices shaped by war\, displacement\, memory\, and survival. Spanning poetic film essays\, animation\, documentary\, and experimental fiction\, these works explore exile as a lived condition\, the fragility of home\, intergenerational bonds\, ecological aftermaths of industry\, and the psychological traces of loss. Together\, the films form a constellation of perspectives that insist on presence\, complexity\, and continued creative life in the face of rupture.\n   \n   The 64th Ann Arbor Film Festival marks a historic first: a weekend of programming devoted to Ukrainian filmmakers\, highlighting voices of resilience\, creativity\, and experimentation under extraordinary circumstances. WCEE is proud to have supported this initiative by covering the submission fees for all Ukrainian films.\n   \nVisit the Ann Arbor Film Festival website for the full schedule and information about special events:  https://www.aafilmfest.org/

SUMMARY:Performance:Joy Clark & Kate Peterson
DESCRIPTION:Authentic\, soulful folk from two dynamic songwriters\n\nJoy Clark’s songcraft\, paired with sophisticated progressions\, and themes of freedom\, love and self-acceptance gained her notice on the national folk and Americana scenes just a few years ago with appearances at Americanafest. She caught the attention of Grammy-winner Allison Russell and was offered a regular spot in her backing band The Rainbow Coalition\, earning her the chance to jam with superstars Brandi Carlile and the Indigo Girls. Talking to The Tennessean\, Russell described Joy as a “a brilliant artist\, writer and singer.”\n\nLansing’s homegrown friend and folksinger describes herself as “raspy\, emo acoustic soul-folk with a touch of optimism and a lot of humanness.”\n\nBeginning in 2005\, Michigan-based singer songmaker and multi-instrumentalist Kate Peterson has traveled the US and Europe winning the hearts of vulnerability lovers everywhere. For 10 years\, she spilled her heart onto hundreds of stages\, opened for her heroes and sparked thousands of laughs (and almost as many tears) with her folk duo\, Nervous but Excited. These days\, in between adventure travel\, Kate is a home-makin’ hobbyist who swaps her wood-working tools for a microphone for only the most special of occasions.\n\nThe roots of her music are still planted firmly in the Pleasantly Aggressive Folk sound that long time fans will find familiar\, but they will quickly notice a depth in her sound that only time and patience can cultivate.

SUMMARY:Performance:Joe Pernice
DESCRIPTION:“a workhorse of a songwriter who delivers hard truths with the softest of whispers” –NPR\n\nJoe Pernice is a songwriter celebrated for his rare ability to pair luminous melodies with quietly devastating emotional depth. Over the course of a career spanning more than three decades\, Pernice has built a body of work that is literate\, melodic\, and enduring—music that reveals new layers with each listen.\n\nFirst gaining attention in the early 1990s with alt-country band Scud Mountain Boys\, Pernice later founded the Pernice Brothers\, a project that would firmly establish his reputation as one of the most refined songwriters of his generation. From the initial Overcome by Happiness and across numerous albums\, his songs have been marked by elegant arrangements\, strong pop instincts\, and lyrics that balance wit\, melancholy\, and narrative precision. Drawing from folk\, power pop\, and chamber pop traditions\, Pernice’s music feels both timeless and unmistakably personal. His collaborations with a range of musicians include Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub)\, Joshua Karp\, Neko Case\, Aimee Mann\, and the iconic Jimmy Webb.\n\nCritics have consistently praised his work for its craftsmanship and emotional intelligence. Major publications including Rolling Stone\, Pitchfork\, Magnet\, The Guardian\, and Mojo have highlighted his gift for melody and his ability to cloak dark\, complex themes in deceptively beautiful songs.\nBeyond music\, Joe has written one of the first books in the original 33 1/3 book series. His novella explores the Smiths’ Meat is Murder and Catholic high school life in Boston in 1985. Joe’s novel\, It Feels So Good When I Stop\, is a dark\, irreverent story of a young man trying to sort through love\, life and commitment.\n\nWith his latest album\, Sunny\, I Was Wrong\, Joe continues his signature style of rich storytelling melded with inspired arrangements\, each song a world unto its own.

SUMMARY:Performance:BLKBOK
DESCRIPTION:Piano star x culture creator\n\nBorn and raised in Detroit’s inner city\, BLKBOK (born Charles Wilson III) grew up in a music-filled home and was an acclaimed piano prodigy by age eight\, winning statewide accolades and college-level competitions. While many of his peers pursued hip-hop\, Charles chose the name BLKBOK\, a nod to one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time and a reflection of his journey from pop and hip-hop culture to his critically acclaimed neo-classical debut album Black Book and subsequent mixtape projects and collaborations. \n\nBLKBOK’s live\, high-energy performances are culturally reflective\, delivering a piano-based experience unlike any other. His vision is to illuminate awareness\, encouraging dialogue and counterpoint in how we perceive ourselves and the world we share.\n \nHis debut album Black Book served as a cornerstone of the inaugural Juneteenth Foundation Freedom Concert and was later re-released as a DLUX Edition featuring “Forgotten Girls” and “Kendrick + Karine.” His mixtape CVRART and collaborative project \"Angels Watching Over Me\" with world-renowned tenor Lawrence Brownlee further showcase his innovative voice. His original composition “Stars (Ad Astra)” became the first-ever piano duet performed from space in 2022.\n \nClosing out 2025\, BLKBOK released Urban Etudes: Vol. 1\, a collaborative EP with Beats by JT that blends classical form with rhythm in a powerful sonic dialogue. He carried that creative momentum into January 2026 with Peaceful Piano: The Self-Love Mixtape\, an intimate and reflective project centered on breath\, space\, and emotional clarity\, a calm exploration of self-love as both foundation and beginning. \n\nBuilding on this evolution\, The New Classical Tour debuted in New York City\, Natick\, and Toledo\, with additional dates to be announced. He is currently composing a new Concerto set for premiere this summer.\n \nMore than an artist\, BLKBOK is a movement - breaking barriers and inspiring change through sound.

SUMMARY:Performance:Les Greene & The Swayzees
DESCRIPTION:Les Greene has energy\, enthusiasm\, and dance moves somewhere between James Brown and Elvis. He was — and remains — a tornado of energy onstage\, both vocally and physically. –Miami New Times\n\nLes Greene\, the voice of Little Richard in the recent “Elvis” movie and Grammy nominated soundtrack\, with his band The Swayzees vibrantly bring you a powerful force of roots rock n soul. With a high energy twist on the genre all while staying true to its sound this is the unique yet recognizable spin that music needs right now and hasn’t seen in some time. \n\nHailing from the vibrant musical landscape of Baltimore\, Les Greene was destined for a life steeped in rhythm and melody.

Greene immersed himself in the rich musical heritage of his city\, honing his craft and developing his own unique voice as a musician.\n\nAt the core of Greene's music lies a deep reverence for the traditions of soul\, but he's never been one to simply replicate the sounds of the past. Instead\, he infuses his music with a modern sensibility\, blending elements of R&B\, funk\, and jazz to create a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. His songs are a testament to the enduring power of soul music – a celebration of love\, loss\, and the human experience.\n\nBeyond his talent as a solo artist\, Greene is also known for his dynamic live performances.

His live shows are a testament to the transformative power of music – a shared experience that brings people together and leaves them uplifted and inspired.\n\nIn a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain\, Greene's music serves as a beacon of hope and healing. It's a reminder of the power of art to transcend boundaries and connect us to something greater than ourselves. With his soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics\, Les Greene continues to touch the lives of listeners around the world\, spreading joy and inspiration wherever his music is heard. As long as there are hearts to be moved and stories to be told\, the soulful journey of Les Greene will surely continue to resonate for years to come.

SUMMARY:Performance:Howie Day
DESCRIPTION:“…unpredictable\, engaging and cathartic…Day’s grasp of the musical veil and reveal is uncanny” –Glide Magazine\n\nHowie Day’s emotionally resonant lyrics and inventive melodies have earned him both critical praise and a legion of devoted fans. He is known for his energetic\, heartfelt shows\, where he connects with audiences through the strength of his songwriting and his quirky sense of humor. Day’s warm tenor voice “soars into fluttering\, high registers\, but also grates with real\, pleading grit\,” as one critic put it. \n\nA native of Bangor\, Maine\, Day began playing piano at age five and guitar at age 12. By 15\, he was writing his own songs and performing across New England. Shortly after graduating high school\, Day became a fixture at college coffeehouses across the U.S. He wrote\, financed\, and released his first effort\, Australia\, which was named Best Debut Album at the 2001 Boston Music Awards. \n\nDay began experimenting with effects pedals and loop-sampling techniques as he performed\, layering live percussion with vocal harmonies and guitar parts to become a veritable one-man band. He went on to sell over 30\,000 copies of Australia as he navigated the independent music scene and continued to hone his craft. After signing with Epic Records\, Day released his\nmajor-label debut\, Stop All The World Now\, and hit the road to support it. Since the release of this ground breaking album 20 years ago\, featuring 4x platinum single \"Collide\"\, Howie Day continues to astound audiences with his everlasting music. Two additional studio albums (Sound The Alarm\, Lanterns) and his incredible live show will no doubt cultivate life changing and poignant moments for people around the world for many years to come.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kaki King
DESCRIPTION:A landscape of sound that pulls at the heart and invites you in.\n\nDubbed by Rolling Stone as \"a genre unto herself\,\" Brooklyn\, NY-based Kaki King has proven to be just that.  Her career has taken her all over the world\, sharing stages with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters\, contributing music to award-winning films (Sean Penn's Into The Wild)\, and performing at the London Jazz Festival and the Paris Les Femmes s'en Melent.  \n\nHer explorations into the guitar and multimedia have led to the creation of groundbreaking work such as The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body\, Modern Yesterdays\, and a new multi-media musical production for children called BUGS. Kaki continues to create\, perform\, and lend her musical voice to the forefront of contemporary music\, as shown on her 2025 EP\, Tutto Passa\, and recent album\, SEI\, the soundtrack to a unique performance piece where guitarists become dancers\, coordinating their whole bodies to perform the rigors of both choreography and composition.  \n\nEndorsed by Ovation Guitars\, Kaki released the EP Stop Sometime last August and remains a force on the music scene\, touring Italy and Germany in the fall and performing both solo and BUGS shows throughout parts of the United States into 2026\, while also and scheduling yet another EP for release on February 13.

SUMMARY:Performance:Raynes
DESCRIPTION:Sophisticated\, irresistibly catchy folk-pop\n\nBritish-American trio Raynes formed when Mat Charley and Joe Berger\, both born and raised in North Dakota\, came across a video of UK native Mark Race on Instagram and fell in love—first with his face\, then with his voice. After a few messages and phone calls\, Mark was on a plane to the US to start a band (a few months later\, he had the flight number tattooed on his arm).\n\nSince then\, Raynes has signed with Sony Music Publishing and released six singles and four EPs\, drawing hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners and tens of millions of streams and earning press in Billboard and People. They’ve performed at BottleRock Festival and in clubs\, concert halls\, and amphitheaters across the US and the UK\, developing a reputation as a high-energy live act.\n\nIn 2025\, Raynes’ rendition of “I Want You to Want Me” was featured in an episode of Love Is Blind on Netflix.\n\nKnown for their intricate vocal harmonies and unique instrumentation as well as their poetic lyrics\, Raynes has yet to come up with a good answer as to what genre their music falls under. With all three members coming from different musical backgrounds\, the boys combine their diverse influences to form a group that draws inspiration from around the globe\, incorporating elements of folk\, rock\, and chamber pop with Celtic and world music to create a wholly original—and difficult to categorize—sound.

SUMMARY:Performance:John Cowan Trio
DESCRIPTION:The voice of newgrass\n\nWhen John Cowan and Luke Bulla perform together\, their shows reflect 25 years of shared history\, musical trust\, and genuine friendship. Blending New Grass Revival (and more) favorites with old and new originals\, they pair masterful picking\, rich harmony\, and stories that are heartfelt\, funny\, and hard-earned. Cowan calls Bulla “one of the most beautiful gifts” of his long musical life\, while Bulla\, inspired by Cowan since his youth\, considers sharing the stage a “dream come true” and a source of “immense gratitude and honor.” Together\, they deliver music rooted in gratitude\, joy\, and deep mutual respect. This evening they perform as a trio with Sam Leslie.
