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\" UID:146980-21900148@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260320T120134 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260326T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260326T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

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.

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 UID:143403-21893091@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Area Studies,Armenian Studies,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260216T121514 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260326T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260326T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Impressions: A Stamps Pre-College Showcase DESCRIPTION:\n\nImpressions: A Stamps Pre-College Showcase is a juried exhibition featuring ceramic works created by Michigan high school students and teachers. \n\nPresented as part of NCECA’s Volumes Conference in Detroit and hosted at the University of Michigan Detroit Center\, the showcase offers a unique national platform for emerging artists to exhibit their creative interpretations in clay.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:145467-21897382@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/145467 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:CAEN,Civil and Environmental Engineering,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Energy,Engineering,Environment,Free,Industrial and Operations Engineering,Interdisciplinary,Law,Materials Science,Mechanical Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering,North Campus,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences,Research,Science,seminar,Social Sciences,Sustainability LOCATION:Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building - 1303 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260318T133709 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260326T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260326T162000 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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\" UID:146980-21900149@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260326T060010 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Artistic Swimming National Championship 2025 @Stanford DESCRIPTION:Artistic swimming Nationals at Stanford.

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.

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 UID:143403-21893092@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Area Studies,Armenian Studies,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260216T121514 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Impressions: A Stamps Pre-College Showcase DESCRIPTION:\n\nImpressions: A Stamps Pre-College Showcase is a juried exhibition featuring ceramic works created by Michigan high school students and teachers. \n\nPresented as part of NCECA’s Volumes Conference in Detroit and hosted at the University of Michigan Detroit Center\, the showcase offers a unique national platform for emerging artists to exhibit their creative interpretations in clay.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:146450-21899125@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146450 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ai,Artificial Intelligence,Data Science,Social Science,Survey Methodology,Survey Research LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260325T130334 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T120000 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:141902-21889617@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141902 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260306T133125 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260327T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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\" UID:146980-21900150@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260327T000105 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260328T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260328T235959 SUMMARY:Other:2026 ECTC Vermont DESCRIPTION:Come join us for Poomsae and Sparring at ECTC Vermont!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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/ UID:145475-21897390@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/145475 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:europe,film,ukraine LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260224T115218 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260328T154500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260328T173000 SUMMARY:Performance:University of Michigan Figure Skating Team Spring Show: Back to Y2K DESCRIPTION:Join the University of Michigan Figure Skating Team for their 2026 Spring Show: Back to Y2K!\n\nEvent Details:\n- Saturday\, March 28th from 3:45-5:30pm at Yost Ice Arena\n- Free admission to UofM student ($5 fee for non-students)\n- Guest Performance by Ann Arbor Ice Cube's Unified Hockettes\n- Free pink lemonade and flower sale!

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.

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\" UID:146980-21900151@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260327T000105 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260329T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260329T233000 SUMMARY:Other:2026 ECTC Vermont DESCRIPTION:Come join us for Poomsae and Sparring at ECTC Vermont!

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.

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 UID:143403-21893094@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Area Studies,Armenian Studies,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260317T171335 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260329T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260329T163000 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.

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.

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.

As a student-led chapter of the internationally renowned Partners in Health organization\, we are committed to advocating for equitable healthcare solutions\, amplifying marginalized voices\, and inspiring systemic change.\nThis gala stems from a rich history of grassroots movements that recognize healthcare as a human right\, not a privilege. Founded on the belief that every individual deserves access to quality healthcare regardless of socioeconomic status\, our chapter has consistently worked to uphold this vision through advocacy\, education\, and service. The gala represents a new chapter in our mission: uniting campus organizations and community members around the shared goal of addressing critical global and public health challenges.\nThe Health Equity Gala serves as a platform to spotlight the disparities in healthcare access\, particularly in the context of an evolving political landscape where conservative policies may threaten progress in public health equity. The hard-won advancements in public and global health are under active threat as the current administration moves to defund essential health programs\, restrict access to care\, and deprioritize global health initiatives. Now more than ever\, it is critical that we stand firm in advocating for the continuation of these efforts\, ensuring that decades of progress are not undone.\nBy bringing together a diverse coalition of public health and global health organizations on campus\, we aim to foster dialogue\, share resources\, and build actionable strategies to combat these disparities. We invite you to join us in celebrating the power of collective action and the potential for transformative change. Together\, we can advocate for a more equitable world and ensure that health is prioritized as a universal human right.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Logistics\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate: March 29th\, 2026\nTime: 7 to 9 PM\nPlace: Michigan Union Pendleton\nTicket: $15 per attendee\nDress Code: Formal\nDescription of Event: \nJoin us for an inspiring evening focused on advancing health equity both domestically and globally.

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\" UID:146980-21900152@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260327T120110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260330T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260330T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

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.

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 UID:143403-21893095@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Area Studies,Armenian Studies,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260223T141911 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260330T084500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260330T164500 SUMMARY:Exhibition:America at 250: Reflections on the Bicentennial DESCRIPTION:The Gerald R.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Event attendees will have the opportunity to explore Soleimani’s photography in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery and/or to go on a central campus bird-watching tour. For either portion of the event\, please meet at the Institute for the Humanities at 202 South Thayer. \n\nSheida Soleimani is an artist\, educator\, and licensed wildlife rehabilitator whose work examines power\, environmental crisis\, queerness\, migration\, and care. The daughter of political refugees who escaped Iran in the early 1980s\, Soleimani draws on archival materials\, props\, and sculptural elements to create visually lush\, politically incisive tableaux. She works across various mediums\, investigating themes such as oil politics and human rights abuses\, confronting the systems of violence linking the SWANA region and the United States\, unraveling their implications in American culture. Though her images are dreamlike\, they are grounded in lived experience: her parents frequently appear as subjects\, in compositions made from elements of their (sometimes harrowing) tales. Increasingly\, wildlife enters the frame – injured and orphaned birds\, with their own quiet stories of migration and survival. Before the lens\, these animals encapsulate Soleimani's multifaceted practice: care as art\, storytelling as resistance.\n\nThe bird walk will be led by Sam Kocurek with the Office of Campus Sustainability and LSA\, and Tim McKay\, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education in LSA. This will serve as training for volunteers interested in helping collect data for an ongoing migratory bird safety project and as well as an opportunity to get familiar with local campus birds. \n\nDonuts\, hot chocolate\, and hot tea will be available while supplies last. \n\n**If you cannot make this event but are interested in viewing Soleimani’s exhibit\, you can visit the Gallery anytime Monday through Friday from 9AM to 5PM\, March 19th - May 1st\, 2026.

We implement a large-scale field experiment among 50\,000 likely unemployed individuals to study the causes and labor supply implications of incomplete UI take-up. Informational letters increased applications and receipt\, with effects concentrated among low-wage workers. Rejection rates among treated applicants also increased: this suggests that the letters primarily reduced learning costs rather than improved eligibility beliefs. Randomized messages aimed at reducing free-rider stigma induced more applications\, primarily among high-wage job seekers. Although prior work finds that more generous UI slows job finding\, our take-up intervention modestly increased reemployment\, as work-search requirements hastened job finding among recipients but also screened out applicants who were unwilling or unable to verify their search.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Between thousand to million times per day\, your cellphone calculates the Fourier Transform (FT) of certain complex valued functions defined on 0\,1\,…\,N-1\, with N large (order of magnitude of thousands and more). \nThe calculation is done using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) - discovered by Cooley--Tukey in 1965 and by Gauss in 1805. \n\nIn the lecture I want to advertise a beautiful way—due to Auslander-Tolimieri—to obtain the FFT as a natural consequence of an answer to the following:\n\nQuestion: How to think on the space of functions on the set 0\,1\,…\,N-1? \n\nEngineers tell us that there are two answers for this question:\n\n(A) as functions on that set\, where 0\,1\,…\,N-1 regarded as times\; and\,\n\n(B) as functions on that set\, where 0\,1\,…\,N-1 regarded frequencies\;\n\nand then the FT is an operator translating between the two spaces. \n\nIn the lecture\, I will explain that there is another answer\, i.e.\, a not so well-known third space (C)\, of arithmetic nature\, that also gives an answer to the above question\, and then the FFT appears simply as the composition of two operators: \nthe one translating between spaces (A) and (C)\, and the one that translates (C) to (B).\n\nRemark: The lecture is prepared to be understood by undergraduate students (from any department) who took basic course in linear algebra.

Many scholars have argued that Finley’s economic model was too simplistic and ultimately incorrect\, or they demonstrated just how much technological development did\, in fact\, take place across the ancient Mediterranean (Greene 2000\, Oleson 2008). Nevertheless\, even with his thesis significantly undermined\, the specific interactions of slavery and technology have been lost. Working from recent scholarship that has emphasized the huge variety of slaving systems in Classical Greece\, the Hellenistic Kingdoms\, and the Roman Empire (Porter 2025\, Larsen and Letteney 2025\, Vlassopoulos 2023)\, as well as frameworks that conceptualize technology beyond tools for accelerating efficiency\, this talk examines how different types of technology rose and fell with the expansion of various types of enslavement\, including in the fields of mining\, manufacturing\, farming\, infrastructure\, and medicine. Moreover\, by treating enslaved peoples as technologically proficient individuals\, who came from different regional traditions\, it acknowledges how enslavement distributed expertise across the ancient world. Overall\, it outlines how we might conceptualize the question of technology and freedom\, even in our current era\, where the future seems to hinge on this debate.\n\nDr. Webster investigates science\, technology\, medicine\, and philosophy in the ancient world. His current research projects include a study of medicinal plant exchange from the Mediterranean to India\, and an evaluation of enslavement's impact on technological development in antiquity. His first book\, Tools and the Organism (Chicago) won the Charles J. Goodwin Award of Merit and has been shortlisted for the William H. Welch Medal.

These environmental interfaces play pivotal roles in processes that affect air quality\, water quality\, climate\, and HEALTH (planetary\, ecosystem\, and human health). For the Willard Lectureship in Analytical Chemistry\, my presentation will focus on the chemistry and impacts of atmospheric aerosols as well as larger aqueous microdroplets found in clouds and fog. Aerosol and microdroplet surfaces represent important components of the Earth’s atmosphere where chemical reactions can occur. Utilizing molecular-based tools\, we have gleaned mechanistic details of how these reactions proceed to better understand their global impacts.

Poland’s Socialist Globalisation DESCRIPTION:Between the political thaw of 1955 and the collapse of the socialist project in 1989\, the Polish People's Republic developed close\, equal relations with many decolonizing countries in Asia\, Africa\, and the Middle East. This was not solely the result of Cold War expansion and competition between political camps. However\, socialist globalization\, although based on the ideals of left-wing internationalism\, also brought tangible benefits to the country rebuilding itself after the war. It was both a long and difficult process of establishing institutions and of Poles developing and learning a new\, anti-colonial\, non-racist language of international cooperation. Cegielski will illustrate this through three artistic exhibitions he is curating. They arose and are being developed based on scholarly work with forgotten archives from Poland\, India\, Ghana\, and Iraq.\n \n Max Cegielski is a writer\, curator\, and researcher\, who has authored several novels and works of non-fiction. As a curator\, he developed *Sklep Polsko-Indyjski/Prince Polonia* (co-curated with Janek Simon)\, which has been presented at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw\, Clark House Initiative in Mumbai\, and TRAFO Center for Contemporary Art in Szczecin (2017–2018). He is currently collaborating with Simon on the research project and exhibition *One Man Does Not Rule a Nation*\, which explores Polish–Ghanaian relations in the 1960s and has been presented at the Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts\, TRAFO Szczecin\, FCA Ghana\, Red Clay Studio in Tamale\, and the Museum of African Art in Belgrade.\n He is a member of the Interdisciplinary Research Group \"Socialist Poland and the Global South\" at the Polish Academy of Sciences.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu.

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\" UID:146980-21900153@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260327T120110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260331T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260331T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

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.

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 UID:143403-21893096@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143403 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Area Studies,Armenian Studies,Art,Exhibition LOCATION:Weiser Hall - International Institute Gallery, Room 547 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260223T141911 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260331T084500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260331T164500 SUMMARY:Exhibition:America at 250: Reflections on the Bicentennial DESCRIPTION:The Gerald R.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

If the abundances of the species involved in a reaction network are small\, then the randomness inherent in the molecular interactions is important to the system dynamics\, and hence the abundances are modeled stochastically with a jump-by-jump fashion continuous-time Markov chain. In the first half of this talk\, we discuss classical and recent issues in reaction network literature\, which especially include how the graphical structures of reaction networks are related to stability and mixing times of the associated Markov processes. We will also discuss how the stability and mixing times can be used for practical problems in system biology and biology computing.

Our experiment was embedded in a Bank of Italy survey covering around 3\,000 firms. We elicited firms’ beliefs about competitors’ adoption of two advanced technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics. We randomly provided half of the sample with accurate information about adoption rates. Most firms substantially underestimated competitors’ current adoption\, and when provided with information\, they updated their expectations about competitors’ future adoption. The information increased firms’ own intended future adoption of robotics: a 1 pp increase in the share of competitors expected to adopt advanced technologies causes an increase of 0.704 pp in the firm’s own robotics adoption. We do not observe a significant effect on AI adoption\, but we cannot rule out modest effects either. Our findings provide causal evidence on coordination in innovation and illustrate how information frictions shape technology diffusion.\n\nWe present a large-scale field experiment on the geography of strategic complementarities in firms’ AI investment. Our experiment was embedded in the ECB’s Survey on the Access to Finance of Enterprises (SAFE)\, covering around 3\,300 firms across twelve European countries. We elicited firms’ beliefs about the share of domestic and foreign competitors investing in AI\, and randomly provided half of the sample with accurate information about both groups. Firms substantially underestimated competitors’ current AI investment\, especially for foreign competitors\, and updated both domestic and foreign beliefs in response to the information treatment. The information also increased firms’ own expected AI investment rate. Using a 2SLS framework\, we find that a 1 pp increase in the expected share of domestic competitors investing in AI raises the firm’s own expected AI investment rate by 0.567 pp\, while the corresponding effect of foreign competitors is close to zero and statistically insignificant. Our findings provide causal evidence that information frictions shape the diffusion of innovation and that strate- gic complementarities in AI investment are much stronger at the domestic than at the foreign level.

What would it mean to look at the suburbs as a site of new possibilities rather than a place many have tried to escape? This event will explore the new realities of suburban living and what we can do to work towards greater equity and racial justice.\n\nThis event is free and open to U-M students\, faculty\, staff\, alumni\, and community members.\n\nLunch from Jerusalem Garden provided.\n\nAbout the speakers\n\nR. L'Heureux Lewis-McCoy is a scholar whose work and activism center issues of race\, place\, education\, and opportunity. He is an Associate Professor at New York University in the Sociology of Education program in the School of Culture\, Education and Human Development. He is author of the forthcoming book A Dream Dissolved: How Opportunity Hoarding Bankrupted Education (One Signal – Simon & Shuster/Atria). He is the co-lead investigator of the Black Suburban Experience Project. His first book\, Inequality in the Promised Land (Stanford University Press\, 2014) tackled how inequality persisted in an \"integrated\" school and suburban community. His larger research interests include race and racism\, gender justice\, and community mobilization.\n\nMo Torres (MPP ‘15) is a sociologist interested in urban political economy\, inequality\, the sociology of race/racism\, and the politics of knowledge production. He is a postdoctoral fellow in the Michigan Society of Fellows and an assistant professor of sociology and public policy. His current book project uses mixed and historical methods to explore the politics of post-industrial decline and the production of urban austerity in Michigan from the 1970s to the present. He is a U-M (MPP '15) and Fulbright (Brazil '19) alumnus and received his PhD in sociology from Harvard University in 2023\, where he held fellowships at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Stone Program in Inequality and Social Policy. A first-generation college graduate\, Mo is a former Detroit Public Schools teacher.\n\nAlexandra K. Murphy is the Associate Director of Social Science Research at Mcity. Murphy is also an Assistant Research Scientist at Poverty Solutions in the Ford School of Public Policy\, and a Faculty Associate of the Population Studies Center at the Institute for Social Research\, all at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD in Sociology and Social Policy from Princeton University. In her research\, she uses ethnographic methods to examine how poverty and inequality are experienced\, structured\, and reproduced across and within multiple domains of social life\, including neighborhoods\, social networks\, and the state. One line of research investigates the new suburban poverty. Murphy's work in this area has focused on variations in social service responses to rising poverty across diverse suburbs\; urban and suburban comparisons in social service capacity\; and the theoretical\, conceptual\, and methodological issues suburban poverty raises for a sociological understanding of geography and inequality.

Using biobank-scale human data\, my dissertation proposal tests important evolutionary hypotheses on sexual antagonism of mitochondrial DNA mutations\, similarity between genetic and phenotypic correlations\, and intersexual selection in humans. In this seminar\, I will focus on a test of the mother's curse hypothesis\, which posits that maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA mutations that exclusively harm males evade purifying selection.

The webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, https://myumi.ch/79Dp1\n\nWhat happens when Italy’s most “sacred” daily ritual\, an espresso at a coffee bar\, is increasingly performed not by Italians but by Chinese migrants? Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Bologna\, this talk examines how racialized Chinese migrants preserve this distinctive Italian social and cultural tradition by deploying local knowledge and taste\, often gleaned from longtime residents who have come\, sometimes resentfully\, to regard this arrangement as a new normal. In particular\, it highlights how diasporic Chinese entrepreneurs both reproduce Italy's existing racial hierarchies while also forming their own racial categories and understandings that mirror China’s growing geopolitical and economic power.\n \n Grazia Deng is a research scholar at Brandeis University. As a sociocultural anthropologist\, she studies global China through the lenses of migration\, race\, and global capitalism. She is the author of the book *Chinese Espresso: Contested Race and Convivial Space in Contemporary Italy* (Princeton University Press\, 2024)\, which is shortlisted for the Gourmand Book Award. She is now working on a new project on Chinese-led racial capitalism in the Made-in-Italy fashion industry.

The discussion will focus on a number of his projects\, such as transforming the tall skinny volume of a former light bulb testing facility in Croatia’s capital into a sonic and auditory beacon\, which plays back the tempos of daily life\; or Novak’s installations and objects that challenge our assumptions of weight\, mass\, and the roles of spectators. Through material with specific associations of weight and mass – from monumental steel and straw constructions to working with light and space – Vladimir Novak’s practice engages contemporary dialogues on the roles of performances without performers\, coincidental audiences\, and performances by audiences.\n\nThis program will be streamed online via Zoom at this link. This virtual talk will also be live-streamed at RU’s space at 360 Court Street\, Brooklyn\, NY for visitors who wish to attend in person.\n\nVladimir Novak is the recipient of the 2025 Radoslav Putar Award. Vladimir Novak is a Zagreb-based artist whose practice investigates the limits of sculpture as a medium through the use of objects\, (day)light\, and sound installations\, with a particular focus on space\, media\, and affective intensities. Through iterative processes\, he seeks to dismantle established media boundaries by exploring the visible and the invisible\, engaging with concepts such as body–mass\, object–installation\, stasis–movement\, and light–shadow. His recent projects In Visible\, Calm\, and Day for a Day\, employ radically minimalist and subtle interventions that emphasize processuality and the entanglement of artworks with natural and urban rhythms\, their transformation across media\, and their physical and socio-ecological resonances. Operating at the threshold of perception\, within the ambivalence between malfunction and artistic act\, his work challenges the perceptions of time and attention\, questioning the boundary between aesthetic experience and banal everyday events.\n\nNick Tobier studied history\, sculpture and landscape architecture\, and has worked at The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia\, The Philadelphia Museum of Art and Storefront for Art & Architecture in NYC\, and as a designer with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation/ Bronx Division. Nick’s focus as artist-designer-educator is on the social lives of public places\, both in built structures and events\, from bus stops to kitchens and boulevards. His work is part of the 2025 Venice Biennial\, the 2024 Split Biennial\, and has been seen at the Smithsonian\, The Queens Museum\, NY\, The Mattress Factory\, Pittsburgh\, the Prague Quadrennial\, the London Festival of Games at Somerset House in London\, and upcoming projects at KRAK Center for Contemporary Art in Bihać\, Bosnia. Nick has received support for his work from the NEA \, The Graham Foundation for the Advanced Study of Visual Art and the Harpo Foundation\, and writes for the Trieste-based magazine Juliet on artists\, galleries\, and cultural centers in Bosnia\, Croatia\, and Serbia.

Building on tools from the theory of decision-making under uncertainty\, we analyze a class of axiomatically grounded optimality criteria which nests several existing misspecification-robust objectives. Within this class\, we introduce the constrained multiplier criterion\, which allows for flexible misspecification attitudes. We prove a local asymptotic minimax theorem for this criterion\, extending a classical efficiency bound to a limit experiment which incorporates both misspecification concerns and moment constraints. We characterize asymptotically optimal estimators as Bayes decision rules under a flat prior and an exponentially tilted likelihood that incorporates the moment constraints\, and show that feasible plug-in analogs are asymptotically optimal.

In this talk\, Susie S. Porter takes us from switchboards to union halls\, and into the streets as working women fought for better wages and against marriage bans\, pregnancy discrimination\, and sexual harassment.\n\nTelephone operators’ struggles to defend their bodily autonomy were historically contingent and constructed through the material and discursive conditions of class. Countervailing practices of class distinction shaped women’s capacity to speak and informed their activism. As languages of class circulated––by management\, organized labor\, working men\, and working women themselves––working and middle- class identities were made and unmade. The success of organized labor hung in the balance.\n\nSusie S. Porter\, Professor of History and Gender Studies at the University of Utah\, is the author of two award-winning books: Workingwomen in Mexico City: Public Discourses and Material Conditions\, 1879-1931 (University of Arizona Press\, 2003)\; and\, From Angel to Office Worker: Middle-Class Identity and Female Consciousness in Mexico\, 1890-1950 (University of Nebraska Press\, 2018). Spanish-language versions of both books were published by El Colegio de Michoacán Press.\n\nHer forthcoming book is titled: Señorita Telefonista: Sexual Harassment\, Gender Discrimination\, and Class Identities in Early Twentieth-Century Mexico City (University of Nebraska\, 2026)\n\nPorter is also co-editor and contributor to 3 edited volumes and a documents reader in Mexican history. Susie is a Member of the Mexican Academy of History (as Corresponsal Internacional). She has held residential fellowships at the Madrid Institute for Advanced Studies (2022-23) and L’Institut d’Études Avancées de Nantes\, France (2023-24).\n\nShe serves as a country conditions expertise for asylum cases\, was a co-founder of the Westside Leadership Institute (Spanish language version) and works as an organizer with the Salt Lake City Latinx community. She served as chair of the Gender Studies Division (2010-2020) and\, since 2021\, as director of the Center for Latin American Studies. For her work in the community\, Porter was designated Distinguished Professor in the Humanities at the University of Utah (2019).\n\nThis lecture is sponsored by the Aiton Lecture Committee.

He situates their displacement within the larger context of East Africa's colonial history\, as well as the policy consequences of the American-backed war on terror and war on drugs. Throughout\, Abu-maye's centering of Somali subjectivity underlines this community's critical and creative capacity to defy the mechanisms that seek to \"manage\" and ultimately control them.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan Library\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies Studies\, Global Islamic Studies Center\, and the Islamophobia Working Group.

The project responds to documented challenges in doctoral education including unclear success criteria\, inconsistent mentoring\, and hidden cultural norms and seeks to generate actionable\, evidence-based pathways for systemic improvement. We designed and deployed a mixed-methods pilot survey to chemistry graduate students measuring six domains informed by prior graduate-education and equity scholarship: (1) graduate milestones\, (2) research competency\, (3) teaching competency\, (4) advisor support (academic and emotional)\, (5) peer and departmental culture\, and (6) academic and demographic background. This talk will center on the qualitative data which is founded on academic citizenship\, which is a set of behaviors\, responsibilities\, and relational practices through which members of an academic community contribute to its collective functioning\, integrity\, and well-being beyond their individual scholarly outputs. It includes activities such as mentoring\, service\, collaboration\, care work\, and stewardship that sustain learning environments\, support colleagues and students\, and advance the shared mission of the institution and discipline. Findings show that academic citizenship is unevenly distributed across student groups and is most strongly predicted by research competency and access to departmental resources. Advisor emotional support and advisor skill dynamics emerged as significant contributors to academic citizenship. Results informed department-level interventions\, including (1) a redesigned first-year experience course integrating research\, teaching\, communication\, and wellness\, and (2) a multidimensional mentoring model grounded in sociopolitical noticing and disciplinary metaphors (chemist\, family\, coach). The project demonstrates that departmental culture can be surfaced\, measured\, and intentionally reshaped to create conditions where graduate students thrive because of rather than in spite of our systems.

In many of these settings\, transport is limited by strong flow heterogeneities and the steady\, laminar flow imposed by geometric confinement (Re«1). Polymer additives have potential as a key engineering tool for modifying these flows to improve transport. However\, the flow behavior of these rheologically-complex fluids remains poorly understood in these disordered settings—in large part due to imaging limitations. \n\nWe address this gap by fabricating transparent 3D porous media and directly imaging the flow in situ. We find that polymer stretching can give rise to an elastic instability that generates turbulent-like fluctuations under conditions prohibitive for traditional turbulence. Combining microscopic flow measurements with theoretical modeling\, we demonstrate that viscous dissipation associated with this instability is responsible for an anomalous increase in macroscopic flow resistance\, resolving an over-50-year-old puzzle. We then show how these chaotic fluctuations can be harnessed to enhance pore-scale mixing of solutes by 3–6×\, and the rate of chemical reactions by an order of magnitude. This work demonstrates how couplings between complex geometries and complex fluid rheology can give rise to intriguing flow behaviors—providing new avenues to understand\, control\, and engineer transport in confined spaces.

The previous talk in Fall 2025\, we introduced the first local well-posedness result\, established by Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat in 1952 using the “wave gauge”. This talk considers alternative approaches when assuming asymptotic flatness. By evolving VEE with a “maximal time foliation”\, one can establish an elliptic-hyperbolic local well-posedness and an electric-magnetic type energy estimate. These are important ingredients in proof of global stability of Minkowski spacetime (Christodoulou–Klainerman\, 1993).

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\" UID:146980-21900154@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/146980 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Michigan Union - 1st Floor - Opera Lounge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260327T120110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260401T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260401T235959 SUMMARY:Other:Bike Repair Hours DESCRIPTION:Does your bike need a tune-up?

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.

Featuring handcrafted pieces from cities such as Hama\, Aleppo\, Homs\, and Saraqib\, the exhibit highlights textile practices that reflect identity\, memory\, and cultural continuity. Many of these traditions are increasingly at risk of disappearing\, making preservation efforts especially urgent. \n\nThis exhibit\, on display in the rotunda of the Clark Library\, follows a live presentation held on March 30 and offers you an opportunity to engage with Syrian textile heritage as both an artistic and historical narrative.

Drafted by the Confederation Congress at the same time as the Constitution\, the Ordinance outlined a framework for government in the northwest territory\, defined the rights guaranteed in that territory\, and created a process for admitting new states to the United States. The display offers a rare opportunity to view a document that helped shape the ideals and values of the young nation.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Through a combination of panel discussions\, flash talks by faculty-student pairs\, and interactive workshops\, the event will create a space for students\, faculty\, alumni\, and community members to reflect on how movements for racial and social justice have shaped higher education and to envision new strategies for democratic engagement today!Each year\, SCOR is proud to host an annual social justice symposium. This event is a part of SCOR’s legacy and a testament to our commitment of fostering dialogue and awareness surrounding the academic\, social\, and cultural journeys of graduate students of color at the University of Michigan. While the symposium is thoughtfully designed with the needs and experiences of graduate students in focus\, we extend invitations to both undergraduate students and faculty\, recognizing that our experiences are not only unique to us. We understand it is important to garner a supportive community. We seek support from faculty who have navigated similar paths and from other students who resonate with the symposium themes. This is also an opportune time to connect with others who are contemplating their next steps after undergraduate or masters studies.

The massive amounts of greenhouse gases associated with Deccan volcanism can be used as an analogue for current and future anthropogenic warming scenarios. In the austral summer of 2026\, a team of 12 sailed to Seymour Island\, Antarctica\, an island that contains phenomenal marine rocks and sediments that were deposited during the time of Deccan volcanism. The team will analyze these microfossils and sediments to determine how marine plankton responded to warming caused by Deccan volcanism to understand how such communities may change under future warming scenarios. This talk will provide insight into the Late Cretaceous world\, the motivation behind the research\, and our journey to and from Seymour Island\, Antarctica.\n\nThis special seminar is co-hosted by UMMP and EEB and will be in-person.

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.

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.

The Information Age Behind the Iron Curtain: Bulgarian Computers and The Society They Tried to Build DESCRIPTION:How did a small Balkan state become a Cold War power in the electronic field during its socialist period? During the years of late socialism\, Bulgaria developed a computer industry that commanded the export market of the Eastern Bloc. Users and states from the Inner German Border to Vladivostok\, and many states in the Global South\, were equipped with Bulgarian computers\, drives\, and tools. Developed as a prestige project by a communist party that sought a ‘golden goose’ industrial niche\, the industry spawned a far-spanning vision of socialist modernity that touched on all aspects of socialist Bulgaria: from political economy and planning\, to labor and gender\, to children\, literature\, and concepts of the human-machine hybrid that was the future. The talk\, based on the author’s first book\, will try to see what the information age looked like behind the Iron Curtain\, and push back against narratives of the failure of socialism to enter the information economy. It shows an Iron Curtain that is far more porous than expected\; an Eastern Bloc connected to the Global South through business dealings as well as development\; and the impact of such stories on the narrative of 1989 as a convenient end point for the socialist past.\n \n Victor Petrov is a historian of the modern Balkans\, with interests in the history of technology & science\, the Cold War\, utopian thinking and alternative knowledge communities. He is Associate Professor of History at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville. His first book\, Balkan Cyberia: Cold War Computing\, Bulgarian Modernization\, and the Information Age Behind the Iron Curtain came out with MIT Press in 2023. He is currently pursuing projects in the post-socialist explosion of supernatural phenomena in Bulgaria\; and histories of outer space\, especially of the 'space commons' approach of the socialist states' Interkosmos program.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

AI in Africa: A New Agenda for African Languages x AI: Everything\, Everywhere\, All At Once DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Professor Marivate will discuss the crucial role of community building in developing technologies for African languages in the age of AI. He will explore the unique challenges and opportunities in fostering collaboration across disciplines and communities\, and in building language technologies that not only perform well on benchmarks\, but also respect\, reflect\, and empower the cultures and peoples they represent.\n \n The talk will further examine the limitations of current evaluation practices-what we are able to measure\, what we routinely overlook\, and how nuances of language\, meaning\, and cultural context often fall outside standard metrics. Professor Marivate will argue for expanding how we think about evaluation in African language AI\, moving beyond narrow performance measures towards approaches that are participatory\, culturally grounded\, and community-informed.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

This paper analyzes the extent to which these differences reflect causal effects of marriage versus selection. We develop a dynamic Roy model that allows for selection into and out of marriage\, with cognitive skill evolving according to a dynamic latent factor model. A long panel of marriage decisions permits identification of unobserved heterogeneity jointly affecting both marriage and skill development. Model estimates indicate that marriage improves skill development. A decomposition analysis suggests that differences in the technology of skill formation between the married and single states explains 30% of the skill difference between children growing up in two-parent and one-parent households while income differences explain 16%.

This program culminated in the Veneziano amplitude which gave birth to string theory\, but was abandoned as an approach to the strong force after the identification of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) as the microscopic theory of hadron physics. Yet QCD at low energies remains largely unsolved. I will describe how modern bootstrap methods\, powered new theoretical insights and computational techniques\, allow us to revisit this classic program with unprecedented rigor. Consistency of pion scattering — with minimal assumptions about the lightest resonances — leads to the emergence of Regge trajectories from the bootstrap bounds. The bootstrap approach becomes particularly sharp in the limit of a large number of colors. The low-lying spectrum of the extremal solutions shows a tantalizing\, and still somewhat mysterious\, quantitative proximity to the real-world meson masses. I will discuss what we are learning from these results and outline open questions on the path toward a bootstrap solution of large N QCD.

In this talk\, we give an overview of some basic tools used in the study of 4-manifolds and use them to give an outline of the construction of exotic R4\, a smooth manifold which is homeomorphic to the standard R4 but not diffeomorphic.

They satisfy remarkable Hodge theoretic properties that are satisfied by a smooth projective variety. These special properties became the start of combinatorial Hodge theory\, and played a key role in the resolution of the Heron-Rota-Welsh conjecture on log-concavity of characteristic polynomials of matroids\, and the Dowling—Wilson top-heavy conjecture. I will survey some properties of Chow rings and K-rings of matroids\, including the construction of an exceptional Hirzebruch—Riemann—Roch theorem. I will touch on some progress on open conjectures surrounding real-rootedness of Poincare polynomials of the Chow rings of matroids\, and their connection to combinatorial commutative algebra.

One can ask when $q$ can be represented by $Q$ - that is\, whether there exists an $n \times m$-integer matrix $T$ such that $Q \circ T = q$. Naturally\, a necessary condition is that such a representation exists locally\, meaning over the real numbers and modulo $N$ for every positive integer $N$. In the absence of local obstructions\, does a (global) representation of $q$ by $Q$ exist? This question is particularly delicate when the codimension $n-m$ is small\, with codimension $2$ being the most challenging.\n\nIn the first talk\, we will give a broad introduction to Linnik-type equidistribution problems (e.g. for periodic geodesics on the modular surface) in the context of the above question for quadratic forms. We will also explain some ideas of Linnik’s ergodic approach to such problems.\n\nNote a second talk in the Geometry Seminar on Thursday.

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.

What began as a spontaneous creative spark in the back of a tour van evolved into one of Austin’s most beloved bands\, known for warm harmonies\, candid storytelling\, and an ever-evolving blend of folk\, pop\, and soulful brass-driven arrangements. After years of near-constant touring and the launch of their individual projects - Wilson’s Motown-leaning Sir Woman and Beggins’ dream-pop alter ego CoCo Zandi - the pair stepped back to explore new sounds and space\, unsure when or how Wild Child might return.\n\nThat return arrived in an unexpected moment of stillness. When the world shut down and stages went dark\, Wilson and Beggins found themselves back in a room together\, preparing for online performances\, rediscovering the spark that shaped their earliest songs. Within minutes\, new material poured out - an organic reminder of the ease and honesty that has always defined their collaboration. The band reunited with longtime musical family and stepped into the studio with the same sense of openness and urgency that fueled their earliest recordings\, capturing raw\, unvarnished performances that leaned into emotion over perfection.\n\nWild Child’s creative community has always been central to their story - whether weathering a Texas ice storm together\, writing by candlelight when power went out\, or inviting new voices into their creative circle. Over the years\, the band has continued to expand its sonic world while staying grounded in heartfelt songwriting and the distinct vocal interplay that first drew fans in. Their music reflects resilience\, connection\, and the messy joy of making something together when it matters most.\n\nToday\, Wild Child is following their curiosity wherever it leads: building out their label imprint Reba’s Ranch Records and diving into Wild Child for Kids\, a project that lets them explore the same heart and imagination of their music through a family-friendly lens. With an ever-growing family of collaborators and a renewed commitment to making music on their own terms\, the band remains a defining voice in the vibrant indie-folk musical landscape\, continually finding new ways to surprise themselves and the listeners who have followed them from the beginning.

Native Texan\, Crowell is a multi-Grammy Award-winning troubadour with fifteen number one hits. Over the course of his career\, Crowell has gracefully blended his own mainstream success as an artist with a prolific catalog of songs cut by the likes of Emmylou Harris\, Johnny Cash\, Waylon Jennings\, Keith Urban and more\, making him a master among his peers. \n\nWith more than 40 years of American roots music under his belt\, Crowell has also been cited as the architect of Americana music\, extending his genre reach\, but owing to the distinctly universal\, literary quality of his writing\, he has also penned beloved songs for artists as diverse as Bob Seger\, Etta James\, the Grateful Dead\, John Denver\, Jimmy Buffett and countless others.\n\nA member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame\, Crowell is also the author of the acclaimed memoir\, Chinaberry Sidewalks\, and teamed up with New York Times best-selling author Mary Karr for Kin: Songs by Mary Karr & Rodney Crowell in 2012\, with Karr saying of her collaborator\, “Like Hank Williams or Townes Van Zandt or Miss Lucinda\, he writes and croons with a poet’s economy and a well digger’s deep heart.” Crowell was honored with ASCAP’s prestigious Founder’s Award in 2017\, and that same year released the album Close Ties\, which spawned another Grammy nomination for “It Ain’t Over Yet” with Rosanne Cash and John Paul White in the category of Best Americana Song. 2019’s Texas was a collection of Lone Star-centric collaborations with Ringo Starr\, Willie Nelson\, Ronnie Dunn\, Steve Earle and more\, and Crowell’s most recent album release is the 2021 set\, Triage. \n\nCrowell came up in Nashville’s songwriting heyday alongside Guy Clark\, Townes Van Zandt\, and Steve Earle and has continued that legacy of camaraderie and kinship with his peers well into the iconic era of his career.
