SUMMARY:Exhibition:2026 Second Year Studio Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAugust 24 - October 18\, 2026\nExhibition Reception: October 1\, 1-2:30 p.m.\n\nIn their second year\, Stamps students complete a major milestone: Second Year Studio (SYS). It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" \n\nStamps Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator Sally Clegg notes\, \"Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now?\" At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. The pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path: experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\n\nAs Course Coordinator\, Stamps Assistant Professor Pedram Baldari both teaches and works directly with all the faculty overseeing each section to collaboratively support the entire class. He offers this reflection on the diverse collection of work on view in this year’s exhibition.\n\nThese works engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\nSYS is intentionally structured around a different learning model than project-based courses. Rather than responding to predetermined assignments\, students identify their own questions and spend an entire semester developing them through research\, experimentation\, critique\, and multiple iterations. The emphasis is not on arriving quickly at a resolved outcome\, but on cultivating the capacity to work independently\, remain responsive to new discoveries\, and allow the project itself to evolve through sustained engagement.\n\nAs a result\, the exhibition presents more than a collection of finished works. It documents different ways of investigating\, testing\, and refining ideas. Some students advance through material experimentation\, others through drawing\, installation\, performance\, digital media\, social engagement\, or speculative approaches. Each project reflects a distinct methodology that has developed through repeated cycles of making\, reflection\, critique\, and revision. In a sense\, the dialectical process generated by the nature of this course is the most significant thread connecting this year’s exhibition. It marks a point at which students begin moving beyond solving assignments toward constructing independent practices\, developing the habits of inquiry\, critical reflection\, and experimentation that will continue to shape their work well beyond SYS.\n\n\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n<ul class=\"twocol\">\n\nNailah Aguilar\n\nAkylah Archer\n\nZachary Berenbaum\n\nSamantha Blaine\n\nLauren Boyce\n\nKas Brajkovic\n\nAnna Browne\n\nLilah Chow\n\nIsabella Cortes\n\nMagdalena Dimovski\n\nLeah Elliott\n\nAya Fadlelzebair\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps\, Campus Traditions\, and the Women Who Made Them
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of the iconic 1926 “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map by exploring the colorful history\, campus traditions\, and detailed artistry that made it possible. Created by Jessie Horton Koessler (Class of 1901) to help fund the Michigan League building for women\, this celebrated map provides a fascinating view into 1920s campus life and the women who shaped it. Through three distinct exhibit sections\, journey from the campus history that led to the map’s creation to a broader look at early 20th-century pictorial mapmaking.\n\nWhile enjoying the exhibit\, pick up a scavenger hunt at the Clark Library desk that will inspire you to notice whimsical details in the maps discussed. Return your scavenger hunt at the desk for a small prize\, while supplies last.\n\nJoin the curators — Ava Pustulka (’28) and Anna Rohl\, map curator at Clark Library — for a presentation on September 24 (https://myumi.ch/X8y3r)\, where they will share the research that went into creating the exhibit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Faster and More Fun: American Home Cooking in the 1920s
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room to see historical materials that illustrate women’s changing relationship with food\, cooking\, and technology during the heady decade of the 1920s\, sandwiched between WWI and the Great Depression. This exhibit features materials from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, as well as select items from the Art\, Architecture\, and Engineering Special Collections and the Transportation History Collection.\n\nAs America rang in a new decade in the 1920s\, cookbook authors and appliance manufacturers stood ready to offer the newly emancipated and forward-thinking American woman a vision for her future\, a vision that would be scientifically  grounded\, speedy enough to make time for leisure as well as housework\, and guaranteed to bring fun to that most humdrum of chores: planning and preparing meals for a family three times a day\, 365 days a year.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Democracy Week | Beacon of Democratic Resilience: Visual Truths and the Legacy of Korea's 5·18 Democratization Movement - A Photographic Archive of the May 1980 People’s Uprising in Korea
DESCRIPTION:Link to the official event poster: \nhttps://myumi.ch/kVdVV\n\nFor parking information\, please visit this link: https://www.dc.umich.edu/about-the-dc/maps-floor-plans-hours/#parking\n\nExhibition Opening Event: \n- When: Friday\, September 18\, 5 pm to 6 pm\n- Where: Duderstadt Center Gallery\n- Open to the public\n- Description: Please join us for the opening of this photo exhibition. The event will feature remarks by the organizers\, the exhibition curators\, one of the featured photojournalists\, and a former Peace Corps volunteer who has stood in solidarity with the people of Gwangju since 1980. Light refreshments are provided. \n\n*Exhibition Description*\nThis photo exhibition features 90 curated images from the UNESCO-inscribed May 18 Archives. Documenting the May 18–27\, 1980 democratization uprising in Gwangju\, South Korea\, the collection captures the shift from peaceful student protests to military violence and unified citizen resistance\, carried out under a complete blackout as civilians and photojournalists risked their lives to photograph atrocities and smuggle film past cordons. Beyond serving as historical artifacts\, these preserved visual truths offer a living blueprint for popular resilience against authoritarianism\, transforming local trauma into a universal defense of human rights. Displaying these records at Michigan bridges 1980 Gwangju with our present moment\, inviting viewers to engage past resistance in the ongoing effort to defend democracy today.\n\n*Exhibition Composition*\nThe exhibit will be composed of a visual narrative comprised of six chronological sections and two additional special sections:\n\n1. Protest (May 5–16\, 1980): \nFollowing the collapse of Park Chung-hee’s military dictatorship in October\, 1979\, Gwangju students and citizens held peaceful rallies for campus autonomy and the end of martial law. Photos from this era show orderly marches and hopeful faces\, capturing a society on the brink of change before the structural contradictions shifted toward state-led violence. \n\n2. Suppression (May 18–19\, 1980): \nA new junta government led by Chun Doo-hwan extended martial law to the entire country on May 17. Students at Chonnam National University protested against the new junta government’s decision. State violence escalated as paratroopers\, who were deployed to Gwangju\, engaged student protesters. Streets became scenes of brutal beatings and kidnappings. Beyond documenting victims\, the images on display in this section serve as primary historical evidence and legal proof of the military's methods and the sudden transformation of citizens into targets of control. \n\n3. Uprising (May 20–21\, 1980): \nThe movement shifted into a popular struggle. Vehicles lined up in Gwangju’s main thoroughfare\, Geumnam-ro. This massive vehicle parade symbolized the people becoming active subjects of resistance. The military was given the order to use live ammunition against civilians. In reaction\, the city became a space of voluntary mobilization and citizens emerged as historical political actors. \n\n4. Resistance (May 22–26\, 1980): \nWhile isolated and cut off from communications\, Gwangju established an autonomous system of self-governance. Photos in this section testify to the efforts made to establish a sense of order based on solidarity—sharing food and donating blood—rather than chaos. The formation of this \"Daedong (Great Unity) Community\" and the visual documentation thereof serve as foundations of democracy in South Korea. \n\n5. Massacre (May 27\, 1980): \nThe uprising was crushed by a dawn military operation. While the armed resistance ended\, the resulting photographs of the aftermath reveal the stark reality of the massacre. These images became the catalyst for future truth-seeking movements and the pursuit of historical justice in South Korea. \n\n6. Mourning: \nScenes of coffins\, portraits\, and silent vigils represent a collective ethical gaze. During this period\, mourning was more than a display of grief\; it was a communal act used to redefine the city’s identity and establish new moral standards for justice.\n\n7. Special Section A: The Photographers\nThis special section highlights the domestic and international photographers who documented the uprising. This includes Korean journalists alongside US journalists Robin Moyer and Norman Thorpe\, French correspondents Patrick Chauvel and François Lochon\, and German cinematographer Jürgen Hinzpeter. Their images transcend simple reporting\, reflecting a moral commitment to record and a historical duty to ensure remembrance. Rather than viewing these photos solely as evidence\, the exhibition reinterprets them through a lens of photographic history—examining their context\, distribution\, and how they transformed raw records into social truth and collective memory.\n\n8. Special Section B: The Peace Corps: Americans Who Helped Gwangju\nWhen Gwangju was isolated under martial law in May 1980\, four American Peace Corps volunteers—Tim Warnberg\, David Lee Dolinger\, Judi Chamberlin\, and Paul Courtright—refused to leave\, choosing instead to assist the wounded\, aid foreign journalists\, and ultimately expose the truth to the world. Those pivotal ten days reshaped their lives into lifelong commitments to human rights\, inspiring decades of memoirs\, academic writings\, and testimonies. Through photographs\, video footage\, and personal records\, this section traces their journey from eyewitnesses to active defenders of human dignity\, inviting us to reflect on what it truly means to take a stand in the face of another’s suffering. \n\nTwo additional events programmed in conjunction with this photo exhibition\n1. Symposium: \n“For Thee and All the World to See: May 18 Gwangju and the Visual Tenacities of South Korean Democracy”\nhttps://myumi.ch/mVdVJ \n\n2. Third Thursday at the Library: \nDemocracy in Motion: The Advancement of Democracy in Korea and the Students at the Frontline\nhttps://myumi.ch/rwdwn \n\nContent Warning: This exhibition contains historical photographs documenting the 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement\, including graphic depictions of violence\, state military suppression\, injuries\, and grief. Viewer discretion is advised.\n\nThis exhibit is co-sponsored by the May 18 Archives\, Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Department of Political Science\, Center for Emerging Democracies\, Donia Human Rights Center\, Asia Library\, and Duderstadt Center.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Other:Apocalypse Now
DESCRIPTION:The Vietnam War has largely been characterized by the sheer havoc that it released on its citizens\, the environment\, and those unfortunate soldiers who were drafted there. Apocalypse Now is an infamously brutal journey through the varied horrors of napalm and the jungle. Set in 1969 during the height of the conflict\, Francis Ford Coppola constructs a fittingly disoriented and surreal landscape through which Captain Benjamin Willard must navigate. Given orders by his superiors to assassinate a defected colonel\, Willard has little to sustain him apart from a waning sense of patriotism. Join him on his journey\, and you will both soon discover that this mission is as hopeless as the war itself.

SUMMARY:Performance:UMS presents My Brightest Diamond
DESCRIPTION:My Brightest Diamond is the moniker of Shara Nova\, a classically trained vocalist and self- taught multi-instrumentalist whose music is as dazzling as it is shape-shifting. Since assembling the project in 2006\, Nova has consistently resisted genre conventions\, blending elements of rock\, art pop\, and chamber music into a sound unmistakably her own.\n\nRaised in a family of traveling evangelists\, Nova spent her childhood crisscrossing the country\, her father leading church choirs and her mother playing organ. When the family settled outside Detroit in the early ’90s\, she absorbed the sounds of hip-hop and soul filling the airwaves\, alongside the likes of Samuel Barber and Bach in her high school chamber choir. After studying classical voice at the University of North Texas\, Nova relocated to New York City\, where she formed My Brightest Diamond\, producing six bold and genre-defying albums\, each inhabiting a distinct musical landscape while remaining anchored by Nova’s singular voice. My Brightest Diamond closes the Freighthouse residency with this performance.\n\nAlcohol will be available for purchase for ages 21+ with ID.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dan Tyminski Band
DESCRIPTION:The pinnacle of modern bluegrass music\n\nDan Tyminski was six years old when his parents began taking him to fiddle contests\, square dances\, and bluegrass festivals across New England. For a young musician who would later become one of the biggest names in modern-day bluegrass\, those early experiences were life changing.\n\n\"Watching live music always spoke to me much louder than sitting in front of my record player\,\" he remembers. \"I loved it. Wherever music was being played\, I wanted to go watch. Years later\, I still feel that way.\"\n\nThroughout his 30+ year career\, Tyminski has left his mark in every corner of modern music. His voice famously accompanies George Clooney’s performance of the Stanley Brothers’ classic song\, “I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow\,” in the film\, Oh Brother\, Where Art Thou? and his vocal collaboration with Swedish DJ Avicii on the song “Hey Brother” was a global smash\, having been streamed more than a billion times to date. His diverse solo projects and years of work with Alison Krauss and Union Station have yielded troves of award-winning music.  \n\nIn recent years\, Tyminski’s live shows with the Dan Tyminski Band have become bluegrass fan favorites and are regularly on the must-see lists among music fans of any genre. \n\nOver the course of his career\, Tyminski has also evolved into a prolific songwriter\, penning songs with Monty Criswell\, Phillip Lammonds\, Kristian Bush\, Ashley Monroe\, Chris Stapleton and many others. \n\nDan has been honored with 14 Grammy Awards and is a four-time Male Vocalist of the Year honoree by the International Bluegrass Music Association.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture and Health (Wendy Ellis)
DESCRIPTION:RCGD Fall 2026 Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture & Health\, meets Mondays 3:30 to 5 at ISR Thompson 6050.\n\nGlobal Perspectives on Culture and Health explores fundamental aspects of human life. Culture facilitates human interaction by providing meaning to lived experience. Accounting for culture in both theories and methods potentially advances the study of health by connecting the macro and micro levels of human experience. Yet\, culture should be understood as dynamic and complex. It fundamentally shapes individuals and simultaneously is shaped by individuals. The importance of systematically attending to culture includes topics of values\, language\, immigration\, and society.\n\nTheories and methods that incorporate culture hold great potential for advancing the understanding of health outcomes and health trajectories in various global contexts.\n\nThe speakers for this series will focus on various aspects of culture and diverse groups living in the U.S. and across the globe to address the ways in which attending to culture helps clarify and overcome challenges to good health.\n\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. The seminar series runs every semester on a theme chosen by faculty organizer/s who are affiliated with the Research Center for Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent themes have included political polarization\, evolution and human behavior\, and cultural psychology.\n\nIn person: ISR Thompson 6050\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Kristine Ajrouch and Sela Panapasa\nEvents are not recorded

SUMMARY:Exhibition:2026 Second Year Studio Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAugust 24 - October 18\, 2026\nExhibition Reception: October 1\, 1-2:30 p.m.\n\nIn their second year\, Stamps students complete a major milestone: Second Year Studio (SYS). It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" \n\nStamps Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator Sally Clegg notes\, \"Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now?\" At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. The pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path: experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\n\nAs Course Coordinator\, Stamps Assistant Professor Pedram Baldari both teaches and works directly with all the faculty overseeing each section to collaboratively support the entire class. He offers this reflection on the diverse collection of work on view in this year’s exhibition.\n\nThese works engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\nSYS is intentionally structured around a different learning model than project-based courses. Rather than responding to predetermined assignments\, students identify their own questions and spend an entire semester developing them through research\, experimentation\, critique\, and multiple iterations. The emphasis is not on arriving quickly at a resolved outcome\, but on cultivating the capacity to work independently\, remain responsive to new discoveries\, and allow the project itself to evolve through sustained engagement.\n\nAs a result\, the exhibition presents more than a collection of finished works. It documents different ways of investigating\, testing\, and refining ideas. Some students advance through material experimentation\, others through drawing\, installation\, performance\, digital media\, social engagement\, or speculative approaches. Each project reflects a distinct methodology that has developed through repeated cycles of making\, reflection\, critique\, and revision. In a sense\, the dialectical process generated by the nature of this course is the most significant thread connecting this year’s exhibition. It marks a point at which students begin moving beyond solving assignments toward constructing independent practices\, developing the habits of inquiry\, critical reflection\, and experimentation that will continue to shape their work well beyond SYS.\n\n\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n<ul class=\"twocol\">\n\nNailah Aguilar\n\nAkylah Archer\n\nZachary Berenbaum\n\nSamantha Blaine\n\nLauren Boyce\n\nKas Brajkovic\n\nAnna Browne\n\nLilah Chow\n\nIsabella Cortes\n\nMagdalena Dimovski\n\nLeah Elliott\n\nAya Fadlelzebair\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Camille Ann Brewer\, MFA\, MLIS
DESCRIPTION:Camille Ann Brewer lives and works in the City of Detroit\, Michigan.  Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work.  \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space.  In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Photo Exhibition. This is the Place
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time  between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps\, Campus Traditions\, and the Women Who Made Them
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of the iconic 1926 “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map by exploring the colorful history\, campus traditions\, and detailed artistry that made it possible. Created by Jessie Horton Koessler (Class of 1901) to help fund the Michigan League building for women\, this celebrated map provides a fascinating view into 1920s campus life and the women who shaped it. Through three distinct exhibit sections\, journey from the campus history that led to the map’s creation to a broader look at early 20th-century pictorial mapmaking.\n\nWhile enjoying the exhibit\, pick up a scavenger hunt at the Clark Library desk that will inspire you to notice whimsical details in the maps discussed. Return your scavenger hunt at the desk for a small prize\, while supplies last.\n\nJoin the curators — Ava Pustulka (’28) and Anna Rohl\, map curator at Clark Library — for a presentation on September 24 (https://myumi.ch/X8y3r)\, where they will share the research that went into creating the exhibit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lila Kadaj Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lila Kadaj received her MFA from Wayne State University. Her work has been shown at numerous institutions\, including the Detroit Institute of Arts\, the Cranbrook Art Museum\, and the Arab American National Museum.  She spent nearly 27 years teaching art at Detroit Public schools.\n\nArtist statement: “When looking at a beautiful flower.  It’s just itself.  Just there......no .....it does not proclaim its purpose for blooming is to make people happy. It just is. Like standing in front of an easel and painting........just is.......no matter......what proclamations may be concluded to sway the viewer. Same thing goes for fine art.  It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate.   It can be quiet or loud. I see so much very weak work uplifted not for its quality but because it’s in fashion.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky  portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration.  \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Hands on Fire
DESCRIPTION:Jim Cogswell: Hands on Fire\n\n**August 31 to October 9\, 2026**\n**Public Reception: Friday\, September 18\, 4:30 to 6:30 pm**\n\nJim Cogswell’s Hands on Fire is a solo exhibition of mixed media drawings at the Residential College Gallery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The exhibition features sixty works on paper completed between 2024 and 2026.\n\nThis body of work responds to Greek Cypriot filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis’ cinematic adaptations of three tragedies by Euripides dealing with the Trojan War and its aftermath: Electra (1962)\, The Trojan Women (1971)\, and Iphigenia (1977). The work is in close conversation with Vinyl Euripides (2022)\, Cogswell’s adhesive vinyl installation on three floors of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens\, Greece\, which also responded to the cinematic trilogy. By following Cacoyannis’ adaptations\, Cogswell builds on a cross-cultural history of restaging these tragedies to examine the human suffering caused by war\, imperial overreach\, and abuse of power\; and the dehumanizing consequences of revenge as a course of justice.\n\nWithin each drawing multiple scenes from the three narratives are overlaid within single frames\, suggesting the unseen entanglements that bind these ancient stories into such a persistent vision of our human position.\n\nThe grid of paintings encircling the gallery proposes a linear narrative but delivers instead a sequence that loops and turns on itself\, a stuck frame that stutters until bursting in flames. The grid also evokes the net that is a central feature of the series--the web of fate and circumstance that governs each of our lives\, that determines who we are and what is possible for us at any given moment in history.\n\nThe drawings are also characterized by a repeated motif of hands as consuming flames. Hands have unlimited expressive and narrative potential. They testify to the centrality of making in the development of human cognition. They are reminders of the constructed world and the laborers responsible for bringing it into being. We use hands as a form of communication to shape and express our inner states. Hands teach us to feel and to reason\, to count and to indicate. They give us agency\, as creators but also as destroyers. They give form to our willingness to act in the world\, in greed or compassion.\n\n---\n\n**This exhibition is made possible with funding from the Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan Office of Research.**\n\nFrom the Artist\n\nI am grateful to the Modern Greek Program in the Department of Classical Studies\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts at the University of Michigan\, for their ongoing support for my research and the dissemination of this project.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Grand Vision
DESCRIPTION:Visiting artist Olayami Dabls is a storyteller\, curator\, educator\, and mentor. He is the founder of the MBAD African Bead Museum in Detroit. Through material culture\, Dabls presents commentary on the past\, present\, and future from African and African-American perspectives\, with the understanding that generations of African ancestors used visual materials to convey information about their identity as well as send messages for healing and protection. Dabls is a luminary\; for decades he has re-imagined what a museum space can be\, accessible to everyone\, free from the underpinnings of colonialism and the Western\, often white\, frame. *Grand Vision* includes a conceptual installation in the Gallery\, presenting Dabls’s own work in visual conversation with African beads and artifacts from Dabls’s Bead Museum collections. \n\nAdditionally\, Dabls’s iconic outdoor sculpture *Iron Teaching Rocks Table Manners* will be installed on the U-M campus grounds near UMMA\, at the intersection of State Street and South University from September 17- October 11\, 2026. The project’s range intends to more fully articulate the many facets of Dabls’ creative practice\, and the overlay of art\, history\, identity\, community\, and healing.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Applied Physics | Bioinspired Materials Design for Adaptation to Extreme Environments
DESCRIPTION:Engineering materials deployed in realistic environments (e.g.\, extreme cold weather\, marine environments\, biologically active fluids\, complex mechanical loads\, etc.) routinely fail not from a single dominant stressor but from the compounding effects of environmental extremes in real-world applications. However\, many organisms in Nature have evolved hierarchical\, multiscale surface architectures and passive self-regulating mechanisms to resist icing\, deter biological attachment\, and self-repair their structure after mechanical damage. In this talk\, I will present two active projects in our research group where we are studying bioinspired physical and chemical mechanisms for adaptation to extreme cold weather and to marine environments. We have developed a large library of natural biomolecules and bioinspired surfaces that inhibit the nucleation of ice (either by depressing the freezing point of aqueous solutions or by inhibiting ice recrystallization) and/or reduce the adhesion of ice to surfaces\, and have developed automated high-throughput instrumentation to screen synergistic combinations of natural and bioinspired compounds and accelerate the discovery of new anti-icing materials and strategies. Translating these strategies into synthetic materials design provides new opportunities for climate resilience\, energy efficiency\, and protection from extreme cold environments across industries\, including healthcare\, transportation\, space heating\, and defense.\n\n\nBio: Abdon Pena-Francesch is an assistant professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at the University of Michigan. He leads the BioInspired Materials Lab\, an interdisciplinary research group working on materials science\, polymer chemistry\, and soft matter engineering to develop solutions for healthcare\, robotics\, and the environment. He obtained his PhD from Penn State University and was a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Germany. His work has been recognized by multiple awards including the AFOSR Young Investigator Program Award\, ACS PMSE Early Investigator Award\, ACS PRF New Investigator Award\, Materials Today Rising Star Award\, MRS Sustainability in Action Award\, and the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CANCELLED - HEP-Astro Seminar |  Mapping the Dark Matter in the Milky Way with Stars: The Signal We Already Have
DESCRIPTION:Dark matter has so far revealed itself in exactly one way: through gravity. In this talk\, I will argue that this makes the distribution of dark matter our only positive signal — and that mapping it precisely may be our most direct route to understanding what dark matter is. Galactic dynamics is no longer data-limited but model-limited\, and the assumption most in need of revision\, underlying nearly all of our models\, is that galaxies are in equilibrium. I will present recent work leveraging Gaia DR3 that reveals a declining stellar rotation curve\, show how underestimated errors in Jeans modeling bias these results\, and how simulations let us build a more robust treatment that avoids tensions with other probes of the density profile. I will then turn to dwarf galaxies\, where the kinematic data will not substantially improve and only better inference can extract the physics: I will present GraphNPE\, a graph neural network method that recovers dark matter density profiles from sparse stellar kinematics\, revealing a hint of a core in Boötes I\, consistent with self-interacting dark matter. Finally\, I will turn to the local velocity distribution\, where the Milky Way's merger history imprints substructure that the Standard Halo Model does not capture\, and use mutual information to show that this history is itself progressively erased from stellar dynamics — setting a fundamental limit on what the Galaxy can ever tell us. Together\, these results outline a program of inference that assumes no more than the data supports and extracts no less than it contains\, arriving just as Gaia DR4 and the next generation of spectroscopic surveys come online.

DESCRIPTION:What do ssssslithering snakes and spilling coffee have in common? A lot more than you might think! Earlier this month\, the Ig Nobel Prize honored quirky research results that “first make people laugh\, and then make them think.” In this talk\, we will explore how special functions known as Bessel functions unexpectedly appear in research done by Ig Nobel laureates. We will center our mathematical analysis around the problems of limbless locomotion and walking while holding a cup of coffee. The talk will also highlight the Ig Nobel prizes of this year as well as other Ig Nobel oddities of mathematical interest!

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:ISRMT Seminar: Dispersive decay for the Modified Benjamin-Ono equation with small data
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  We study the modified Benjamin-Ono equation for small\, localized initial data where no solitons arise.  Unlike the standard Benjamin-Ono equation\, the modified version is not known to be completely integrable\, so we cannot rely on integrable systems tools. First\, to manage the nonlocal Hilbert transform in the linear part of the equation\, we split it using positive and negative frequency projections. We then combine wave packet testing of Ifrim and Tataru\, the Klainerman–Sobolev vector field method\, a normal form transformation\, and a bootstrap argument\, to establish a global-in-time dispersive decay estimate.\n\n*To request access to the Zoom room\, please contact Nathan Hayford at nhayford [ at ] umich.edu.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ottoman Greek Settlement in the Mitten State
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Topalidis will present the historical events surrounding the migration and settlement of Ottoman Greeks in Michigan. The lecture will contextualize these events through the lens of Social Memory Theory and emphasize the erasure of migrant and refugee identity writ large. To achieve this\, the lecture will combine macro-level findings from extant scholarship with micro-level novel evidence from the Ottoman Greeks of the United States Digital History Project at Flagler College. \n\nThe lecture will cover the following subjects:\n•	The displacement of Ottoman Greek migrants from their communities during World War I and the Greco-Turkish War.\n• Experiences of Ottoman Greek migrants fleeing from the cities of Izmir\, Ordu\, Şarköy\, Semendire\, and Ürgüp.\n• Experiences of Ottoman Greeks during their settlement in Michigan.\n• Experiences of second- and third-generation descendants of Ottoman Greeks during their formative years in Michigan.\n\nDr. Yiorgo Topalidis received a doctorate in Sociology from the University of Florida in 2022. Yiorgo’s research interests are emigration from the Ottoman Empire to the US and White identity construction\, contestation\, and transgenerational memory transfer. He is currently working on a monograph that explores the social construction of Ottoman Greek migrant identity in an early-20th-century U.S. context as a case study for decoupling Whiteness from White supremacist Whiteness.

DESCRIPTION:Sullivan's dictionary is a correspondence between the dynamics of rational maps on the Riemann sphere and the action of Kleinian groups. For example\, Julia sets correspond to limit sets\, and the no wandering domains theorem\, proved by Dennis Sullivan\, corresponds to Ahlfors' finiteness theorem. In this talk\, we will survey the present state of the dictionary\, make some broader analogies and briefly discuss partial results with the intent of extending this dictionary\, which includes some joint work with Yongquan Zhang.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Symplectic Matroids
DESCRIPTION:In 1987\, Gelfand and Serganova introduced Coxeter matroids. The type-A Coxeter matroid recovers the definition of matroids that we know and love. In this talk\, we'll look at the type-C Coxeter matroid and its relation to the type-A matroid. In the type-A case\, one of the notable (and very useful!) properties of matroids is their collection of cryptomorphic definitions. Interestingly\, though type-C versions of the cryptomorphic definitions have been conjectured\, proving their equivalence continues to be a work-in-progress.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Transparency and Contradiction
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the contradictions of transparency\, as a concept\, practice\, and aesthetic within the public sphere. Drawing on insights from her recently published monograph\, Nath offers a vision of document transparency located in social history\, American militarism\, and formations of power and difference. In this talk\, Nath traces the Cold War rhetoric that inspired the 1966 Freedom of Information Act through the contested world of transparency activism. By drawing on wide-ranging examples from antiracist organizing\, environmental initiatives\, investigative journalism\, and document diplomacy\, she offers a portrait of transparency as both an inscription of and challenge to power. \n\nAnjali Nath is Assistant Professor in Institute of Communication\, Culture\, Information\, and Technology at the University of Toronto Mississauga. Her work focuses on the visual culture of American militarism and the archives of state violence. Her book A Thousand Paper Cuts: US Empire and the Bureaucratic Life of War (Duke University Press\, 2025)\, is a critical reckoning with the racial and imperial work of paper.

SUMMARY:Performance:Willi Carlisle - The Universal Bubba Tour
DESCRIPTION:One of Country-Rock’s pioneering forces\n\nFrom their beginnings in mid-Sixties Ohio as a group of friends playing cover tunes to the present-day unit featuring the propulsive team of drummer Scott Thompson and bassist Jared Camic\, Keyboard Master Randy Harper\, Guitar Ace/vocalist Jeff Zona and Pedal Steel/Saxophonist John Heinrich\, PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE continues to embellish the rich 50-plus year history of one of Country-Rock’s pioneering forces. As one reviewer recently wrote: “PPL’s sound combines sweet memories with edgy\, contemporary muscle. Their vocals are as strong as Kentucky moonshine and the musicianship and performance skills are as sharp as a straight razor”.\n\nTheir eponymous first album - featuring the Norman Rockwell/Saturday Evening Post cover that introduced fans to PPL’s trademark cowpoke “Sad Luke” - has been hailed as a “major early influence in the emerging popularity of Country-Rock music”. Their second effort\, the multi-platinum “Bustin’ Out” brought us the Craig Fuller-penned classic “Amie”\, along with other gems of the genre. With “Two Lane Highway”\, nine more albums and countless shows\, a legacy has been forged and enriched\, highlighting contributions from several noteworthy members\, including original co-founder George Ed Powell\, Cincinnati’s legendary Goshorn Brothers\, Country Hall of Famers Gary Burr and Vince Gill\, award-winning writer Jeff Wilson (3 Top-20 singles)\, top Nashville session vocalist Curtis Wright and a host of other guest appearances from Chet Atkins\, Johnny Gimble\, EmmyLou Harris\, David Sanborn\, Eagle Don Felder\, Nicolette Larson\, Rosemary Butler\, Jenifer Wrinkle\, Jeff (Birdman) Kirk\, Mat Britain and many more.\n\nNow in their sixth decade\, Pure Prairie League continues to lead the way for the new generation of Country/Rockers such as Keith Urban\, Nickel Creek\, Wilco\, Counting Crows and so many others that cite PPL as a major influence.\n\nNow\, with the release of their new album “Back On Track” PPL brings it all back home with a dozen new songs that complete the circle begun in 1970 and continues to this day.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:2026 Second Year Studio Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAugust 24 - October 18\, 2026\nExhibition Reception: October 1\, 1-2:30 p.m.\n\nIn their second year\, Stamps students complete a major milestone: Second Year Studio (SYS). It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" \n\nStamps Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator Sally Clegg notes\, \"Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now?\" At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. The pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path: experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\n\nAs Course Coordinator\, Stamps Assistant Professor Pedram Baldari both teaches and works directly with all the faculty overseeing each section to collaboratively support the entire class. He offers this reflection on the diverse collection of work on view in this year’s exhibition.\n\nThese works engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\nSYS is intentionally structured around a different learning model than project-based courses. Rather than responding to predetermined assignments\, students identify their own questions and spend an entire semester developing them through research\, experimentation\, critique\, and multiple iterations. The emphasis is not on arriving quickly at a resolved outcome\, but on cultivating the capacity to work independently\, remain responsive to new discoveries\, and allow the project itself to evolve through sustained engagement.\n\nAs a result\, the exhibition presents more than a collection of finished works. It documents different ways of investigating\, testing\, and refining ideas. Some students advance through material experimentation\, others through drawing\, installation\, performance\, digital media\, social engagement\, or speculative approaches. Each project reflects a distinct methodology that has developed through repeated cycles of making\, reflection\, critique\, and revision. In a sense\, the dialectical process generated by the nature of this course is the most significant thread connecting this year’s exhibition. It marks a point at which students begin moving beyond solving assignments toward constructing independent practices\, developing the habits of inquiry\, critical reflection\, and experimentation that will continue to shape their work well beyond SYS.\n\n\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n<ul class=\"twocol\">\n\nNailah Aguilar\n\nAkylah Archer\n\nZachary Berenbaum\n\nSamantha Blaine\n\nLauren Boyce\n\nKas Brajkovic\n\nAnna Browne\n\nLilah Chow\n\nIsabella Cortes\n\nMagdalena Dimovski\n\nLeah Elliott\n\nAya Fadlelzebair\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Camille Ann Brewer\, MFA\, MLIS
DESCRIPTION:Camille Ann Brewer lives and works in the City of Detroit\, Michigan.  Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work.  \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space.  In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Photo Exhibition. This is the Place
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time  between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps\, Campus Traditions\, and the Women Who Made Them
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of the iconic 1926 “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map by exploring the colorful history\, campus traditions\, and detailed artistry that made it possible. Created by Jessie Horton Koessler (Class of 1901) to help fund the Michigan League building for women\, this celebrated map provides a fascinating view into 1920s campus life and the women who shaped it. Through three distinct exhibit sections\, journey from the campus history that led to the map’s creation to a broader look at early 20th-century pictorial mapmaking.\n\nWhile enjoying the exhibit\, pick up a scavenger hunt at the Clark Library desk that will inspire you to notice whimsical details in the maps discussed. Return your scavenger hunt at the desk for a small prize\, while supplies last.\n\nJoin the curators — Ava Pustulka (’28) and Anna Rohl\, map curator at Clark Library — for a presentation on September 24 (https://myumi.ch/X8y3r)\, where they will share the research that went into creating the exhibit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lila Kadaj Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lila Kadaj received her MFA from Wayne State University. Her work has been shown at numerous institutions\, including the Detroit Institute of Arts\, the Cranbrook Art Museum\, and the Arab American National Museum.  She spent nearly 27 years teaching art at Detroit Public schools.\n\nArtist statement: “When looking at a beautiful flower.  It’s just itself.  Just there......no .....it does not proclaim its purpose for blooming is to make people happy. It just is. Like standing in front of an easel and painting........just is.......no matter......what proclamations may be concluded to sway the viewer. Same thing goes for fine art.  It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate.   It can be quiet or loud. I see so much very weak work uplifted not for its quality but because it’s in fashion.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky  portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration.  \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Hands on Fire
DESCRIPTION:Jim Cogswell: Hands on Fire\n\n**August 31 to October 9\, 2026**\n**Public Reception: Friday\, September 18\, 4:30 to 6:30 pm**\n\nJim Cogswell’s Hands on Fire is a solo exhibition of mixed media drawings at the Residential College Gallery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The exhibition features sixty works on paper completed between 2024 and 2026.\n\nThis body of work responds to Greek Cypriot filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis’ cinematic adaptations of three tragedies by Euripides dealing with the Trojan War and its aftermath: Electra (1962)\, The Trojan Women (1971)\, and Iphigenia (1977). The work is in close conversation with Vinyl Euripides (2022)\, Cogswell’s adhesive vinyl installation on three floors of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens\, Greece\, which also responded to the cinematic trilogy. By following Cacoyannis’ adaptations\, Cogswell builds on a cross-cultural history of restaging these tragedies to examine the human suffering caused by war\, imperial overreach\, and abuse of power\; and the dehumanizing consequences of revenge as a course of justice.\n\nWithin each drawing multiple scenes from the three narratives are overlaid within single frames\, suggesting the unseen entanglements that bind these ancient stories into such a persistent vision of our human position.\n\nThe grid of paintings encircling the gallery proposes a linear narrative but delivers instead a sequence that loops and turns on itself\, a stuck frame that stutters until bursting in flames. The grid also evokes the net that is a central feature of the series--the web of fate and circumstance that governs each of our lives\, that determines who we are and what is possible for us at any given moment in history.\n\nThe drawings are also characterized by a repeated motif of hands as consuming flames. Hands have unlimited expressive and narrative potential. They testify to the centrality of making in the development of human cognition. They are reminders of the constructed world and the laborers responsible for bringing it into being. We use hands as a form of communication to shape and express our inner states. Hands teach us to feel and to reason\, to count and to indicate. They give us agency\, as creators but also as destroyers. They give form to our willingness to act in the world\, in greed or compassion.\n\n---\n\n**This exhibition is made possible with funding from the Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan Office of Research.**\n\nFrom the Artist\n\nI am grateful to the Modern Greek Program in the Department of Classical Studies\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts at the University of Michigan\, for their ongoing support for my research and the dissemination of this project.

DESCRIPTION:Visit the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room to see historical materials that illustrate women’s changing relationship with food\, cooking\, and technology during the heady decade of the 1920s\, sandwiched between WWI and the Great Depression. This exhibit features materials from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, as well as select items from the Art\, Architecture\, and Engineering Special Collections and the Transportation History Collection.\n\nAs America rang in a new decade in the 1920s\, cookbook authors and appliance manufacturers stood ready to offer the newly emancipated and forward-thinking American woman a vision for her future\, a vision that would be scientifically  grounded\, speedy enough to make time for leisure as well as housework\, and guaranteed to bring fun to that most humdrum of chores: planning and preparing meals for a family three times a day\, 365 days a year.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Grand Vision
DESCRIPTION:Visiting artist Olayami Dabls is a storyteller\, curator\, educator\, and mentor. He is the founder of the MBAD African Bead Museum in Detroit. Through material culture\, Dabls presents commentary on the past\, present\, and future from African and African-American perspectives\, with the understanding that generations of African ancestors used visual materials to convey information about their identity as well as send messages for healing and protection. Dabls is a luminary\; for decades he has re-imagined what a museum space can be\, accessible to everyone\, free from the underpinnings of colonialism and the Western\, often white\, frame. *Grand Vision* includes a conceptual installation in the Gallery\, presenting Dabls’s own work in visual conversation with African beads and artifacts from Dabls’s Bead Museum collections. \n\nAdditionally\, Dabls’s iconic outdoor sculpture *Iron Teaching Rocks Table Manners* will be installed on the U-M campus grounds near UMMA\, at the intersection of State Street and South University from September 17- October 11\, 2026. The project’s range intends to more fully articulate the many facets of Dabls’ creative practice\, and the overlay of art\, history\, identity\, community\, and healing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Systems Change Studio: Building Power across Sectors and Disciplines
DESCRIPTION:Issues related to climate change often feel too big and too complicated to address meaningfully. Effective and equitable solutions require organizations working together across sectors and disciplines. Researchers\, educators\, practitioners\, advocates\, and investors working in public and private sectors\, in non-profit and for-profit spaces\, need to work together to tackle these multifaceted issues. \n\nThis session presents a power shifting framework to see how your organization fits into the greater systems at work and how your piece connects to the work of others. This is an interactive session with the Midwest Climate Collaborative that will give you the chance to think about what you’re doing on climate and envision what collaboration looks like with those working on other pieces. You’ll learn about a specific mapping exercise that will help you collaborate across sectors and connect the dots on how we work collectively to make change to protect our climate and the communities impacted by climate change.\n\n*Registration is required:*\nIn-person - Tuesday\, Sept. 29\, 10 - 11:30 am\nVirtual - Tuesday\, Sept. 29\, 3:30 - 5:00 pm

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:On the Investment Network and Development
DESCRIPTION:Capital accumulation\, productivity growth and sectoral reallocation are salient features of economic development. These features are interconnected through the means for production and heterogeneous uses of different capital types across sectors\, i.e. the investment network. Our paper introduces the first harmonized measures of the investment network across the development spectrum and documents novel empirical regularities\, including systematic changes in the network with development. We propose a simple theory linking these disparities\, which are endogenous to the path of sectoral prices\, to differences in income per capita across countries. We show that the elasticity of output to sectoral productivity depends on the investment network\, is highest in the Construction sector in developing countries\, and in the ICT and Service sector in developed countries. Forces related to structural change\, sectoral productivity and shifts in sectoral linkages drive this heterogeneity. For our sample of 58 countries\, we show that 28% of cross-country differences in income per capita can be accounted for by disparities in the investment network. These differences are twice as large as the role of capital in income disparities obtained from standard development accounting.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A (Lottery) Ticket to the Middle Class: The Changing Structure of Downside Risk Among American College Graduates
DESCRIPTION:CID Speaker Series\n\nJoin the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host Tom VanHeuvelen\, associate professor of sociology at the University of Minnesota.\n\nAbstract: A college degree remains perhaps the final institutionalized pathway to middle-class socioeconomic attainment\, with recent college graduates attaining historically unprecedented earnings premiums. This project recovers a novel and unappreciated trend that coexists with this overall rising college premium: the rate of college graduates experiencing unambiguously negative labor-market outcomes has been growing for 25 years. Applying a relative distributional methodological approach to seven datasets spanning 75 years\, the project reveals the processes leading to rising economic risk among college graduates.\n\nTom VanHeuvelen is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Minnesota. His research focuses on the long-term causes and consequences of inequality change.\n\nPlease RSVP via the event page to save your seat.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Democracy Week | Beacon of Democratic Resilience: Visual Truths and the Legacy of Korea's 5·18 Democratization Movement - A Photographic Archive of the May 1980 People’s Uprising in Korea
DESCRIPTION:Link to the official event poster: \nhttps://myumi.ch/kVdVV\n\nFor parking information\, please visit this link: https://www.dc.umich.edu/about-the-dc/maps-floor-plans-hours/#parking\n\nExhibition Opening Event: \n- When: Friday\, September 18\, 5 pm to 6 pm\n- Where: Duderstadt Center Gallery\n- Open to the public\n- Description: Please join us for the opening of this photo exhibition. The event will feature remarks by the organizers\, the exhibition curators\, one of the featured photojournalists\, and a former Peace Corps volunteer who has stood in solidarity with the people of Gwangju since 1980. Light refreshments are provided. \n\n*Exhibition Description*\nThis photo exhibition features 90 curated images from the UNESCO-inscribed May 18 Archives. Documenting the May 18–27\, 1980 democratization uprising in Gwangju\, South Korea\, the collection captures the shift from peaceful student protests to military violence and unified citizen resistance\, carried out under a complete blackout as civilians and photojournalists risked their lives to photograph atrocities and smuggle film past cordons. Beyond serving as historical artifacts\, these preserved visual truths offer a living blueprint for popular resilience against authoritarianism\, transforming local trauma into a universal defense of human rights. Displaying these records at Michigan bridges 1980 Gwangju with our present moment\, inviting viewers to engage past resistance in the ongoing effort to defend democracy today.\n\n*Exhibition Composition*\nThe exhibit will be composed of a visual narrative comprised of six chronological sections and two additional special sections:\n\n1. Protest (May 5–16\, 1980): \nFollowing the collapse of Park Chung-hee’s military dictatorship in October\, 1979\, Gwangju students and citizens held peaceful rallies for campus autonomy and the end of martial law. Photos from this era show orderly marches and hopeful faces\, capturing a society on the brink of change before the structural contradictions shifted toward state-led violence. \n\n2. Suppression (May 18–19\, 1980): \nA new junta government led by Chun Doo-hwan extended martial law to the entire country on May 17. Students at Chonnam National University protested against the new junta government’s decision. State violence escalated as paratroopers\, who were deployed to Gwangju\, engaged student protesters. Streets became scenes of brutal beatings and kidnappings. Beyond documenting victims\, the images on display in this section serve as primary historical evidence and legal proof of the military's methods and the sudden transformation of citizens into targets of control. \n\n3. Uprising (May 20–21\, 1980): \nThe movement shifted into a popular struggle. Vehicles lined up in Gwangju’s main thoroughfare\, Geumnam-ro. This massive vehicle parade symbolized the people becoming active subjects of resistance. The military was given the order to use live ammunition against civilians. In reaction\, the city became a space of voluntary mobilization and citizens emerged as historical political actors. \n\n4. Resistance (May 22–26\, 1980): \nWhile isolated and cut off from communications\, Gwangju established an autonomous system of self-governance. Photos in this section testify to the efforts made to establish a sense of order based on solidarity—sharing food and donating blood—rather than chaos. The formation of this \"Daedong (Great Unity) Community\" and the visual documentation thereof serve as foundations of democracy in South Korea. \n\n5. Massacre (May 27\, 1980): \nThe uprising was crushed by a dawn military operation. While the armed resistance ended\, the resulting photographs of the aftermath reveal the stark reality of the massacre. These images became the catalyst for future truth-seeking movements and the pursuit of historical justice in South Korea. \n\n6. Mourning: \nScenes of coffins\, portraits\, and silent vigils represent a collective ethical gaze. During this period\, mourning was more than a display of grief\; it was a communal act used to redefine the city’s identity and establish new moral standards for justice.\n\n7. Special Section A: The Photographers\nThis special section highlights the domestic and international photographers who documented the uprising. This includes Korean journalists alongside US journalists Robin Moyer and Norman Thorpe\, French correspondents Patrick Chauvel and François Lochon\, and German cinematographer Jürgen Hinzpeter. Their images transcend simple reporting\, reflecting a moral commitment to record and a historical duty to ensure remembrance. Rather than viewing these photos solely as evidence\, the exhibition reinterprets them through a lens of photographic history—examining their context\, distribution\, and how they transformed raw records into social truth and collective memory.\n\n8. Special Section B: The Peace Corps: Americans Who Helped Gwangju\nWhen Gwangju was isolated under martial law in May 1980\, four American Peace Corps volunteers—Tim Warnberg\, David Lee Dolinger\, Judi Chamberlin\, and Paul Courtright—refused to leave\, choosing instead to assist the wounded\, aid foreign journalists\, and ultimately expose the truth to the world. Those pivotal ten days reshaped their lives into lifelong commitments to human rights\, inspiring decades of memoirs\, academic writings\, and testimonies. Through photographs\, video footage\, and personal records\, this section traces their journey from eyewitnesses to active defenders of human dignity\, inviting us to reflect on what it truly means to take a stand in the face of another’s suffering. \n\nTwo additional events programmed in conjunction with this photo exhibition\n1. Symposium: \n“For Thee and All the World to See: May 18 Gwangju and the Visual Tenacities of South Korean Democracy”\nhttps://myumi.ch/mVdVJ \n\n2. Third Thursday at the Library: \nDemocracy in Motion: The Advancement of Democracy in Korea and the Students at the Frontline\nhttps://myumi.ch/rwdwn \n\nContent Warning: This exhibition contains historical photographs documenting the 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement\, including graphic depictions of violence\, state military suppression\, injuries\, and grief. Viewer discretion is advised.\n\nThis exhibit is co-sponsored by the May 18 Archives\, Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Department of Political Science\, Center for Emerging Democracies\, Donia Human Rights Center\, Asia Library\, and Duderstadt Center.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Sea as Medium in Early Modern Chinese Fiction
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Kile demonstrates how we might better understand Chinese early modernity through environment and experience\, categories that also open up possibilities of geographical comparison. He analyzes how the sea novels *Sanbao taijian xiyang ji* (*Record of the Sanbao Eunuch in the Western Seas*\, pub. 1597)\, *Haiyou ji* 海遊記 (*Record of a Sea Journey*\, pub. ca. early nineteenth century)\, and *Xiyi meng Xiyi meng Haiguo chunqiu* 希夷夢 海國春秋 (*A Dream of the Master of Infinitesimal Subtlety\, or A Chronicle of the Sea Kingdom*) describe travel by sea – for example\, into a luoji 落漈 (whirlpool)\, or across a ruanshui yang 軟水洋 (“soft water” sea)  – and how this fictional practice details and elaborates the perceived and imagined qualities of water. Lu Xun famously described Ming and Qing novels that abounded with super-mobile human characters as “supernatural” fiction (shenmo xiaoshuo 神魔小說). Dr. Kile departs from this foundational paradigm to look more precisely: what terms do these novels use for moving through air\, and how did that relate to water travel? The depths of the seas and the heights of the skies did not function as media for actually existing humans in the early modern period\, but in the fiction of the time\, humans could travel through the sea\, both across its surfaces and through its depths\, as well as through the sky in all its vastness.\n\nSE Kile is a scholar of early modern Chinese literature and cultural history\, focusing on the intersections of multimedia practice across a broad range of cultural objects\, from poetry to props\, from novels to gardens. An associate professor in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan\, Kile’s first book\, *Towers in the Void: Li Yu and Early Modern Chinese Media* (Columbia\, 2023)\, theorizes early modern mediation and entrepreneurship through Li Yu's cultural production across the areas of playwriting\, fiction writing\, garden and architectural design\, theater direction\, and body modification. His current book project argues for the relevance of the “early modern” to the study of China\, exploring how novelists synthesized scientific\, religious\, and vernacular knowledge about the world.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SRC Seminar Series Presents: Reservation Wages Revisited: Empirics with the Canonical Model
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/s/93104955652?pwd=Lf6ebHXZHCdHLerJmE2pcTHPjE8iqv.1#success\nMeeting ID: 931 0495 5652\nPasscode: 975857\n\nAbstract:\nWe study reservation wages using innovative longitudinal data on unemployment insurance (UI) recipients\, guided by canonical search models. Individual-level expectations about the path of own reservation wages are\, on average\, consistent with realized reservation wage paths. This first result validates a basic premise in many models of job search by the unemployed. Second\, individual-level reservation wages fall with unemployment duration and they fall faster when maximum unemployment benefit durations are shorter\, confirming basic implications of search models. Third\, unemployed job seekers reduce their reservation wages in line with predictions from calibrated versions of Mortensen’s (1977) canonical model\, but set initial reservation wages too high. Fourth\, reservation wages elicited early in unemployment spells are more powerful predictors of re-employment wages than are wages on the previous job\, confirming the information value of survey-elicited reservation wages.\n\n\nShort bio:\nPawel Krolikowski is a Senior Research Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. His research focuses on labor economics and macroeconomics\, with particular interests in job displacement\, wage adjustment\, and the effects of job loss. His work has been published in the American Economic Review\, American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics\, Journal of International Economics\, and other journals. He received his PhD in Economics from the University of Michigan and holds undergraduate degrees in economics and mathematical and computational science from Stanford University.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Development of Quantum Sensors for Precision Measurements based on Coherent Transient Effects\, Optical Lattices\, and Atom Interferometry
DESCRIPTION:We review distinctive experimental techniques that rely on coherent transient effects\, optical lattices\, and atom interferometry that have realized varied applications including precise measurements of atomic lifetimes\, masses of dielectric particles\, atomic diffusion\, centre of mass velocity\, and gravitational acceleration. We show that the two-pulse photon echo technique is capable of realizing a precise determination of the Rb 5P_{3/2} excited state lifetime. We describe time domain techniques that track the motion of dielectric microparticles confined by free space optical tweezers and measure particle masses with a sensitivity of 10^{-16} kg. We detect the motion of Rb optical lattices in a buffer gas environment to obtain comprehensive measurements of atomic diffusion. Comparisons with theoretical calculations suggest the basis for a quantum pressure sensor capable of calibrating commercial pressure gauges. We outline a frequency domain technique for the realization of state-of-the-art velocimeters using laser cooled atoms. Finally\, we review recent results from a frequency domain echo atom interferometer that uses ultracold rubidium atoms channelled into an optical lattice to realize a gravimeter. All these experiments have relied on low cost\, homebuilt\, diode laser systems.\n\n*Work supported by CFI\, OIT\, NSERC\, OCE\, The Helen Freedhoff Memorial Fund and York University

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: Hidden Waves\, Universal Spectra: The Garrett–Munk Puzzle
DESCRIPTION:Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a field of internal waves that transports energy and contributes to mixing. Despite widely varying winds\, tides\, and topography\, many observations share a remarkably similar spectral shape\, captured by the empirical Garrett–Munk model. Why should such a complicated system admit such a simple description?\n\nThis talk explores that question through a two-dimensional model of rotating\, stratified flow. We introduce the wave-turbulence picture of resonant interactions and energy cascades\, then show how conservation laws and scaling reduce the search for a turbulent spectrum. A singularity associated with slow waves leads to a crucial role for rotation. Combining analytic arguments with numerical evidence in the weak-rotation regime yields a spectral shape consistent with Garrett–Munk. The talk is intended for a broad mathematical audience\; no background in oceanography or wave turbulence is assumed.\n\nJoint work with Michal Shavit and Oliver Bühler.

SUMMARY:Performance:Pure Prairie League
DESCRIPTION:One of Country-Rock’s pioneering forces\n\nFrom their beginnings in mid-Sixties Ohio as a group of friends playing cover tunes to the present-day unit featuring the propulsive team of drummer Scott Thompson and bassist Jared Camic\, Keyboard Master Randy Harper\, Guitar Ace/vocalist Jeff Zona and Pedal Steel/Saxophonist John Heinrich\, PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE continues to embellish the rich 50-plus year history of one of Country-Rock’s pioneering forces. As one reviewer recently wrote: “PPL’s sound combines sweet memories with edgy\, contemporary muscle. Their vocals are as strong as Kentucky moonshine and the musicianship and performance skills are as sharp as a straight razor”.\n\nTheir eponymous first album - featuring the Norman Rockwell/Saturday Evening Post cover that introduced fans to PPL’s trademark cowpoke “Sad Luke” - has been hailed as a “major early influence in the emerging popularity of Country-Rock music”. Their second effort\, the multi-platinum “Bustin’ Out” brought us the Craig Fuller-penned classic “Amie”\, along with other gems of the genre. With “Two Lane Highway”\, nine more albums and countless shows\, a legacy has been forged and enriched\, highlighting contributions from several noteworthy members\, including original co-founder George Ed Powell\, Cincinnati’s legendary Goshorn Brothers\, Country Hall of Famers Gary Burr and Vince Gill\, award-winning writer Jeff Wilson (3 Top-20 singles)\, top Nashville session vocalist Curtis Wright and a host of other guest appearances from Chet Atkins\, Johnny Gimble\, EmmyLou Harris\, David Sanborn\, Eagle Don Felder\, Nicolette Larson\, Rosemary Butler\, Jenifer Wrinkle\, Jeff (Birdman) Kirk\, Mat Britain and many more.\n\nNow in their sixth decade\, Pure Prairie League continues to lead the way for the new generation of Country/Rockers such as Keith Urban\, Nickel Creek\, Wilco\, Counting Crows and so many others that cite PPL as a major influence.\n\nNow\, with the release of their new album “Back On Track” PPL brings it all back home with a dozen new songs that complete the circle begun in 1970 and continues to this day.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:2026 Second Year Studio Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAugust 24 - October 18\, 2026\nExhibition Reception: October 1\, 1-2:30 p.m.\n\nIn their second year\, Stamps students complete a major milestone: Second Year Studio (SYS). It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" \n\nStamps Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator Sally Clegg notes\, \"Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now?\" At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. The pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path: experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\n\nAs Course Coordinator\, Stamps Assistant Professor Pedram Baldari both teaches and works directly with all the faculty overseeing each section to collaboratively support the entire class. He offers this reflection on the diverse collection of work on view in this year’s exhibition.\n\nThese works engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\nSYS is intentionally structured around a different learning model than project-based courses. Rather than responding to predetermined assignments\, students identify their own questions and spend an entire semester developing them through research\, experimentation\, critique\, and multiple iterations. The emphasis is not on arriving quickly at a resolved outcome\, but on cultivating the capacity to work independently\, remain responsive to new discoveries\, and allow the project itself to evolve through sustained engagement.\n\nAs a result\, the exhibition presents more than a collection of finished works. It documents different ways of investigating\, testing\, and refining ideas. Some students advance through material experimentation\, others through drawing\, installation\, performance\, digital media\, social engagement\, or speculative approaches. Each project reflects a distinct methodology that has developed through repeated cycles of making\, reflection\, critique\, and revision. In a sense\, the dialectical process generated by the nature of this course is the most significant thread connecting this year’s exhibition. It marks a point at which students begin moving beyond solving assignments toward constructing independent practices\, developing the habits of inquiry\, critical reflection\, and experimentation that will continue to shape their work well beyond SYS.\n\n\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n<ul class=\"twocol\">\n\nNailah Aguilar\n\nAkylah Archer\n\nZachary Berenbaum\n\nSamantha Blaine\n\nLauren Boyce\n\nKas Brajkovic\n\nAnna Browne\n\nLilah Chow\n\nIsabella Cortes\n\nMagdalena Dimovski\n\nLeah Elliott\n\nAya Fadlelzebair\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Camille Ann Brewer\, MFA\, MLIS
DESCRIPTION:Camille Ann Brewer lives and works in the City of Detroit\, Michigan.  Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work.  \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space.  In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Photo Exhibition. This is the Place
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time  between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lila Kadaj Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lila Kadaj received her MFA from Wayne State University. Her work has been shown at numerous institutions\, including the Detroit Institute of Arts\, the Cranbrook Art Museum\, and the Arab American National Museum.  She spent nearly 27 years teaching art at Detroit Public schools.\n\nArtist statement: “When looking at a beautiful flower.  It’s just itself.  Just there......no .....it does not proclaim its purpose for blooming is to make people happy. It just is. Like standing in front of an easel and painting........just is.......no matter......what proclamations may be concluded to sway the viewer. Same thing goes for fine art.  It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate.   It can be quiet or loud. I see so much very weak work uplifted not for its quality but because it’s in fashion.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky  portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration.  \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Hands on Fire
DESCRIPTION:Jim Cogswell: Hands on Fire\n\n**August 31 to October 9\, 2026**\n**Public Reception: Friday\, September 18\, 4:30 to 6:30 pm**\n\nJim Cogswell’s Hands on Fire is a solo exhibition of mixed media drawings at the Residential College Gallery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The exhibition features sixty works on paper completed between 2024 and 2026.\n\nThis body of work responds to Greek Cypriot filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis’ cinematic adaptations of three tragedies by Euripides dealing with the Trojan War and its aftermath: Electra (1962)\, The Trojan Women (1971)\, and Iphigenia (1977). The work is in close conversation with Vinyl Euripides (2022)\, Cogswell’s adhesive vinyl installation on three floors of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens\, Greece\, which also responded to the cinematic trilogy. By following Cacoyannis’ adaptations\, Cogswell builds on a cross-cultural history of restaging these tragedies to examine the human suffering caused by war\, imperial overreach\, and abuse of power\; and the dehumanizing consequences of revenge as a course of justice.\n\nWithin each drawing multiple scenes from the three narratives are overlaid within single frames\, suggesting the unseen entanglements that bind these ancient stories into such a persistent vision of our human position.\n\nThe grid of paintings encircling the gallery proposes a linear narrative but delivers instead a sequence that loops and turns on itself\, a stuck frame that stutters until bursting in flames. The grid also evokes the net that is a central feature of the series--the web of fate and circumstance that governs each of our lives\, that determines who we are and what is possible for us at any given moment in history.\n\nThe drawings are also characterized by a repeated motif of hands as consuming flames. Hands have unlimited expressive and narrative potential. They testify to the centrality of making in the development of human cognition. They are reminders of the constructed world and the laborers responsible for bringing it into being. We use hands as a form of communication to shape and express our inner states. Hands teach us to feel and to reason\, to count and to indicate. They give us agency\, as creators but also as destroyers. They give form to our willingness to act in the world\, in greed or compassion.\n\n---\n\n**This exhibition is made possible with funding from the Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan Office of Research.**\n\nFrom the Artist\n\nI am grateful to the Modern Greek Program in the Department of Classical Studies\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts at the University of Michigan\, for their ongoing support for my research and the dissemination of this project.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Faster and More Fun: American Home Cooking in the 1920s
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room to see historical materials that illustrate women’s changing relationship with food\, cooking\, and technology during the heady decade of the 1920s\, sandwiched between WWI and the Great Depression. This exhibit features materials from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, as well as select items from the Art\, Architecture\, and Engineering Special Collections and the Transportation History Collection.\n\nAs America rang in a new decade in the 1920s\, cookbook authors and appliance manufacturers stood ready to offer the newly emancipated and forward-thinking American woman a vision for her future\, a vision that would be scientifically  grounded\, speedy enough to make time for leisure as well as housework\, and guaranteed to bring fun to that most humdrum of chores: planning and preparing meals for a family three times a day\, 365 days a year.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Grand Vision
DESCRIPTION:Visiting artist Olayami Dabls is a storyteller\, curator\, educator\, and mentor. He is the founder of the MBAD African Bead Museum in Detroit. Through material culture\, Dabls presents commentary on the past\, present\, and future from African and African-American perspectives\, with the understanding that generations of African ancestors used visual materials to convey information about their identity as well as send messages for healing and protection. Dabls is a luminary\; for decades he has re-imagined what a museum space can be\, accessible to everyone\, free from the underpinnings of colonialism and the Western\, often white\, frame. *Grand Vision* includes a conceptual installation in the Gallery\, presenting Dabls’s own work in visual conversation with African beads and artifacts from Dabls’s Bead Museum collections. \n\nAdditionally\, Dabls’s iconic outdoor sculpture *Iron Teaching Rocks Table Manners* will be installed on the U-M campus grounds near UMMA\, at the intersection of State Street and South University from September 17- October 11\, 2026. The project’s range intends to more fully articulate the many facets of Dabls’ creative practice\, and the overlay of art\, history\, identity\, community\, and healing.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 3): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through December 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Southeast Michigan-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 11 - December 11) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 3 \n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nAbhishek Narula\, Compressions \nCompressions is an installation comprised of 416 industrial-grade zip ties\, cinched around the entry pillar of the Stamps Gallery. The pillar measures roughly 110 inches in circumference\, requiring two ties per row to wrap around it\, resulting in 208 rows. The humble zip tie\, typically used to hang and bind other material\, is relegated to its functional properties rendering it unprepossessing and easily dismissed. The zip tie in this installation\, instead serves as an object of aesthetic possibility\, pulling it out of its usual background role to become the work itself. The resulting composition is a proposal to dwell\, to slow down\, and to simply see the pillar.\n\nAbhishek Narula is an artist\, designer\, and educator who works across sculpture\, installation\, sound\, and video. His practice takes the form of interventions\, working with what is already present. He reorients and disrupts objects and sites in order to open up formal possibilities and poetic experiences within the familiar. He is influenced by physical and digital infrastructural systems that sustain modern life and culture. His work treats this ambience itself as raw material for aesthetic inquiry\, exploring themes of labor\, precarity\, temporality and the sublime. Narula earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and his MS/BS in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited at national and international venues such as the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology\, Science Gallery Detroit\, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia\, New Media Caucus (NMC)\, WaveFarm\, The Boulder Public Library\, The Hyde Park Art Center\, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press\, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI)\, International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA)\, among others. He is a Robotics Systems Designer and Lecturer in the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\nNathan Byrne\, Equally To Be Loved\nEqually To Be Loved is an image / object scaled to and installed upon the courtyard pillar of Stamps Gallery. The image is of a spontaneous sculpture made in 2017 during the first day of an artist residency at the Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program. The sculpture was constructed in a storage container studio using 14 discrete objects that were in his studio upon entry. For Byrne\, this work embodies the energy and spirit of a studio at the start of a particularly fecund period of making. This work speaks to the artist’s interest in embodied experience of space\, archival and site responsiveness\, as well as his ongoing engagement with found materials. Byrne considers this project to be a far-flung sequel to his MFA thesis exhibition Equally Empty\, which was shown at Stamps Gallery in 2021. Equally To Be Loved is the second line of the Buddhist mantra from which both titles are derived.\n\nNathan Byrne is an artist / educator / curator currently based in Detroit\, MI. Through spatial and archive responsive projects\, he reimagines\, and explores within frameworks such as language\, the passage of time\, and contemplation. Intrigued by the potential of conveying phenomenal\, transformative\, and emotive states through materiality\, process\, and placement\, he negotiates the pliability of the viewer’s encounters with objects and environments. Byrne holds an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and a BA in Studio Art and Art History from San Francisco State University. He has been a Lecturer at Stamps School of Art & Design since the Fall of 2022. His work is exhibited widely nationally and he is a recipient of the VSC Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. He has been awarded numerous artist residencies including Anderson Ranch Arts Center\, I-Park\, KHN Center for the Arts\, Prairie Ronde\, Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program\, and Rockland Woods.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Dialogue Michigan - Community Circles
DESCRIPTION:As we navigate an increasingly complex social and political landscape\, the need for robust democratic engagement has never been more vital. At its core\, democracy thrives not just through the ballot box\, but through our ability to foster discourse\, practice inclusive decision-making\, and build resilient communities. On behalf of the Dialogue Michigan planning team\, we invite you to join us for our next networking event\, where we will explore a practical tool for this civic work. Why Circle Processes Matter for Democracy: Democratic engagement requires us to move beyond \"debate\" and toward \"dialogue.\" Circle processes provide a structured way to do exactly that and to be in community. Rooted in First Nation and Indigenous peacemaking practices\, these processes create an egalitarian space where:\n\nEvery voice is centered: The use of a talking piece ensures that all participants have the space to be heard without interruption.\n\nPower is shared: The circular structure removes traditional hierarchies\, encouraging collective responsibility and transparency.\n\nCommunity is restored: It offers a framework for navigating conflict and making decisions that reflect the needs of the whole\, rather than just the majority.\n\nThis workshop will be interactive\, providing you with the opportunity to experience a circle firsthand and learn how to bring these restorative practices into your work and community spaces. Facilitated by the Office of Student Conflict Resolution (OSCR) and the Restorative Practice lead at the Equity\, Civil Rights & Title IX (ECRT) office.\n\nDIALOGUE MICHIGAN\nThis event is part of Dialogue Michigan's 2026-2027 faculty and staff workshops.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Democracy Week | Beacon of Democratic Resilience: Visual Truths and the Legacy of Korea's 5·18 Democratization Movement - A Photographic Archive of the May 1980 People’s Uprising in Korea
DESCRIPTION:Link to the official event poster: \nhttps://myumi.ch/kVdVV\n\nFor parking information\, please visit this link: https://www.dc.umich.edu/about-the-dc/maps-floor-plans-hours/#parking\n\nExhibition Opening Event: \n- When: Friday\, September 18\, 5 pm to 6 pm\n- Where: Duderstadt Center Gallery\n- Open to the public\n- Description: Please join us for the opening of this photo exhibition. The event will feature remarks by the organizers\, the exhibition curators\, one of the featured photojournalists\, and a former Peace Corps volunteer who has stood in solidarity with the people of Gwangju since 1980. Light refreshments are provided. \n\n*Exhibition Description*\nThis photo exhibition features 90 curated images from the UNESCO-inscribed May 18 Archives. Documenting the May 18–27\, 1980 democratization uprising in Gwangju\, South Korea\, the collection captures the shift from peaceful student protests to military violence and unified citizen resistance\, carried out under a complete blackout as civilians and photojournalists risked their lives to photograph atrocities and smuggle film past cordons. Beyond serving as historical artifacts\, these preserved visual truths offer a living blueprint for popular resilience against authoritarianism\, transforming local trauma into a universal defense of human rights. Displaying these records at Michigan bridges 1980 Gwangju with our present moment\, inviting viewers to engage past resistance in the ongoing effort to defend democracy today.\n\n*Exhibition Composition*\nThe exhibit will be composed of a visual narrative comprised of six chronological sections and two additional special sections:\n\n1. Protest (May 5–16\, 1980): \nFollowing the collapse of Park Chung-hee’s military dictatorship in October\, 1979\, Gwangju students and citizens held peaceful rallies for campus autonomy and the end of martial law. Photos from this era show orderly marches and hopeful faces\, capturing a society on the brink of change before the structural contradictions shifted toward state-led violence. \n\n2. Suppression (May 18–19\, 1980): \nA new junta government led by Chun Doo-hwan extended martial law to the entire country on May 17. Students at Chonnam National University protested against the new junta government’s decision. State violence escalated as paratroopers\, who were deployed to Gwangju\, engaged student protesters. Streets became scenes of brutal beatings and kidnappings. Beyond documenting victims\, the images on display in this section serve as primary historical evidence and legal proof of the military's methods and the sudden transformation of citizens into targets of control. \n\n3. Uprising (May 20–21\, 1980): \nThe movement shifted into a popular struggle. Vehicles lined up in Gwangju’s main thoroughfare\, Geumnam-ro. This massive vehicle parade symbolized the people becoming active subjects of resistance. The military was given the order to use live ammunition against civilians. In reaction\, the city became a space of voluntary mobilization and citizens emerged as historical political actors. \n\n4. Resistance (May 22–26\, 1980): \nWhile isolated and cut off from communications\, Gwangju established an autonomous system of self-governance. Photos in this section testify to the efforts made to establish a sense of order based on solidarity—sharing food and donating blood—rather than chaos. The formation of this \"Daedong (Great Unity) Community\" and the visual documentation thereof serve as foundations of democracy in South Korea. \n\n5. Massacre (May 27\, 1980): \nThe uprising was crushed by a dawn military operation. While the armed resistance ended\, the resulting photographs of the aftermath reveal the stark reality of the massacre. These images became the catalyst for future truth-seeking movements and the pursuit of historical justice in South Korea. \n\n6. Mourning: \nScenes of coffins\, portraits\, and silent vigils represent a collective ethical gaze. During this period\, mourning was more than a display of grief\; it was a communal act used to redefine the city’s identity and establish new moral standards for justice.\n\n7. Special Section A: The Photographers\nThis special section highlights the domestic and international photographers who documented the uprising. This includes Korean journalists alongside US journalists Robin Moyer and Norman Thorpe\, French correspondents Patrick Chauvel and François Lochon\, and German cinematographer Jürgen Hinzpeter. Their images transcend simple reporting\, reflecting a moral commitment to record and a historical duty to ensure remembrance. Rather than viewing these photos solely as evidence\, the exhibition reinterprets them through a lens of photographic history—examining their context\, distribution\, and how they transformed raw records into social truth and collective memory.\n\n8. Special Section B: The Peace Corps: Americans Who Helped Gwangju\nWhen Gwangju was isolated under martial law in May 1980\, four American Peace Corps volunteers—Tim Warnberg\, David Lee Dolinger\, Judi Chamberlin\, and Paul Courtright—refused to leave\, choosing instead to assist the wounded\, aid foreign journalists\, and ultimately expose the truth to the world. Those pivotal ten days reshaped their lives into lifelong commitments to human rights\, inspiring decades of memoirs\, academic writings\, and testimonies. Through photographs\, video footage\, and personal records\, this section traces their journey from eyewitnesses to active defenders of human dignity\, inviting us to reflect on what it truly means to take a stand in the face of another’s suffering. \n\nTwo additional events programmed in conjunction with this photo exhibition\n1. Symposium: \n“For Thee and All the World to See: May 18 Gwangju and the Visual Tenacities of South Korean Democracy”\nhttps://myumi.ch/mVdVJ \n\n2. Third Thursday at the Library: \nDemocracy in Motion: The Advancement of Democracy in Korea and the Students at the Frontline\nhttps://myumi.ch/rwdwn \n\nContent Warning: This exhibition contains historical photographs documenting the 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement\, including graphic depictions of violence\, state military suppression\, injuries\, and grief. Viewer discretion is advised.\n\nThis exhibit is co-sponsored by the May 18 Archives\, Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Department of Political Science\, Center for Emerging Democracies\, Donia Human Rights Center\, Asia Library\, and Duderstadt Center.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | Bootstrapping Stress Tensors from 3D Ising and beyond
DESCRIPTION:I will present results from the current state of the art of the numerical conformal bootstrap: bootstrapping the stress tensor\, both for the 3D Ising CFT in particular and in the space of all local\, unitary 3D CFTs in general. Beyond the headline result for the Ising CFT — the most precise determinations of the leading scaling dimensions and OPE coefficients yet — I will present some preliminary results in analyzing the extremal functional spectrum for the Ising CFT. As for the space of all local\, unitary 3D CFTs\, I will present bounds which present nontrivial and puzzling features which motivate a proposed program of “CFT Cartography.” Based on arXiv:2411.15300\, arXiv:2602.13383\, and ongoing work.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student DGT: Convexity in a complex world
DESCRIPTION:Complex geometry is a cornerstone of contemporary mathematics\; convex geometry\, by contrast\, has remained fairly niche since its modern inception in the early 20th century. Nonetheless\, the two subjects are related by numerous extremely deep correspondences. Even more bizarrely\, these correspondences tend to end up being more \"useful\" on the complex side\, suggesting that there is some \"structure\" on the complex side that is somehow more naturally analyzed through its convex counterpart. In this talk\, we will sample some results from this fascinating history before discussing a \"convex\" approach to studying Kähler–Einstein metrics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Crepant resolutions via stacks
DESCRIPTION:Consider an invariant that behaves nicely for smooth varieties\, such as Euler number\, Betti numbers\, or Hodge numbers. Suppose we want a version of this invariant for singular varieties that sees interesting information about the singularities. I will discuss how this naturally leads to the notion of crepant resolutions of singularities. However\, crepant resolutions (by varieties) are rare in practice. I will discuss joint work with M. Satriano in which we show that crepant resolutions actually exist in broad generality\, as long as one is willing to consider algebraic stacks. Specifically\, any variety with log-terminal singularities admits a crepant resolution by a smooth algebraic stack. As one consequence\, in joint work with J. Huang and M. Satriano\, we obtain a cohomological interpretation for Batyrev's stringy Hodge numbers. This talk will not assume familiarity with stacks.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CCMB/DCMB Weekly Bioinformatics Seminar Series featuring Jianzhi Zhang\, PhD (Professor\, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, U-M)
DESCRIPTION:Jianzhi (George) Zhang is a Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology interested in the relative roles of chance and necessity in evolution. He got his B. S. from Fudan University in Shanghai\, China\, and his Ph. D. in Genetics from Pennsylvania State University. He was a  Fogarty postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases before moving to the University of Michigan.\n\nAbstract\n\nAdaptive evolution proceeds through beneficial nucleotide substitutions in the genome\, yet the number of such substitutions (N) required to reach a local or global fitness peak where no single mutation further increases fitness remains unknown. Here we estimate N by simulating adaptive walks on two large\, complete\, multi-environment adaptive landscapes inferred from massive empirical data using machine learning\, with validation from smaller experimentally mapped landscapes. We find that N rises linearly with the number of variable sites (L) in the landscape\, regardless of prior adaptation in another environment. Extrapolation suggests a minimal N of 10^5 for typical prokaryotes and 10^7 for mammals. By contrast\, in highly rugged shuffled landscapes\, N is markedly reduced\, while fitness gains also shrink. The relatively smooth empirical landscapes therefore enable greater fitness gains while lengthening adaptive walks\, rendering even local fitness peaks effectively unreachable before environments change. These results explain the persistence of fitness gains in long-term evolution experiments and the widespread occurrence of beneficial mutations across species. They suggest that populations continuously adapt while remaining far from fitness optima\, challenging the long-held view that adaptation culminates at fitness peaks.

SUMMARY:Performance:Leyya Mona Tawil and collaborators in \"Happy Days Finale\"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an informal showing of *Happy Days Finale*\, a new performance work by Leyya Mona Tawil in collaboration with Zari Lionudakis (dance)\, John MacDoughall Parker (music)\, and Scott Tallenger (costume).\n\nWhat does happiness mean in a time of revolution? With each day anew\, what is our capacity for communion\, grief\, resistance\, chance? In a world of relentless injustice and collapse\, we question what is ending and what is beginning. DANCE ELIXIR's *Happy Days Finale* is an invitation to test these questions\, in body and time.\n\nAt the heart of *Happy Days Finale* is Tawil’s “choice-based choreography\,” where each performance unfolds uniquely. The dance composition is driven by decisions that transform the work into an ever-evolving conversation between movement\, space\, and sound. Tawil calls it “an act of agility and adaptability\,” - a dance that contains multiple truths with every iteration.\n\n*Happy Days Finale* is an invitation to think critically and collaboratively\, to explore how we\, as a community\, can face the challenges of today’s world. Tawil has created a space for modeling new ways of being in an unpredictable world. *Happy Days Finale* proposes dancemaking as a potent tool for liberation\, urging us to question\, to mourn\, and to labor\, together.\n\nPresented by Daring Dances and the Center for World Performance Studies.\n\n*If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event\, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies at cwps.information@umich.edu at least one week in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.*\n\nBIOGRAPHIES\n\nLEYYA MONA TAWIL\, Conceptual Score\, Choreography\, and Performance\nDirector of DANCE ELIXIR\, Leyya Mona Tawil is an artist\, performer\, and cultural activist working in hybrid performance practices. Tawil is Palestinian and Syrian\; engaged in the world as such. Her choreographies and sound projects have been presented throughout the states\, Europe\, and the Arab world. Highlight engagements: “My Name is Palestine” exhibit at Southern Exposure (SF)\, performance commissions from Abrons Arts Center (NYC) and Sibelius Museum (Turku)\, and residencies with Sharjah Art Foundation (UAE)\, Wysing Arts/British Council (UK) and PlayHouse Labs (Detroit). Tawil was nominated for a 2019 “Bessies” Award in Music (NYC) and received the Ruth Arts Artist Choice Award 2026. She has stewarded TAC Temescal Art Center in Oakland since 1997\, and is the founding director of Arab.AMP - a platform for worldbuilding artists from the Arab/SWANA diaspora and our allied communities.\n\nZARI LIONUDAKIS\, Dance Collaborator and Performer\nZari Lionudakis is an artist and educator who challenges perceptions of either/or. A lone wolf in lineage\, heritage and praxis\, Zari's work in liminal space bleeds into her performance\, technique classes\, scholarship and healing modalities. The late historian Hayden White called Zari a \"radical visionary\,\" as every mode of Zari's work challenges existing notions of what \"is.\" Whether ballet or vernacular\, slang or scholarship\, Zari uses languages that work towards liberation. She has performed extensively with DANCE ELIXIR since its founding in 2003.\n\nJOHN MACDOUGALL PARKER\, Music Collaborator and Performer\nJohn MacDougall Parker creates improvisational future-folk compositions where sound is amalgamated and congealed into a resolution of crossed signals. He has devised instruments focused on the interface between humans and machines\, which are arranged to make music in the moment. Parker\, of American and Korean origin\, floats between NYC and São Paulo.\n\nSCOTT TALLENGER\, Costumes\nScott Tallenger is a Left-Handed/Right Brained\, photographer\, skateboarder and fashion designer. Based in Detroit and working nationally\, Scott specializes in one-of-a-kind event garments and accessories.  His first costume collaboration with performer Leyya Mona Tawil was in 2006\, and he has since created over 11 unique costumes for DANCE ELIXIR.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability and Analysis Seminar: Tightness of and counterexamples to several quantum estimates
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Recently the TCS query learning ala Nisan--Mansur--Linial got the boost from a harmonic analysis random algorithm. This problem has a non-commutative version where one needs to learn a very big matrix (so-called d-local hamiltonians) from  a few random queries.\nThe corresponding harmonic analysis results have a drawback that it is still not known how tight they are. We will discuss this and show tightness for some of them. Interestingly\, one such tightness result is closely related to Einstein--Podolsky--Rosen paradox from quantum mechanics. On a close issue: arguably the main problem in understanding the speed up  of quantum algorithms versus classical ones for a certain collection of problems (called Aaronson--Ambainis conjecture and still open) will be discussed too if time permits.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantitative propagation of chaos and universality for asymmetric Langevin spin glass dynamics
DESCRIPTION:We obtain quantitative estimates on quenched propagation of chaos for Langevin spin glass dynamics with i.i.d. disorder. Prior work in the case of Gaussian disorder established the qualitative convergence of the law of a single spin to a deterministic McKean--Vlasov limit. We prove convergence rates in expected Wasserstein distance and quantitative concentration rates for Lipschitz observables under the assumption that the disorder satisfies the T_2 inequality. The proof uses a coupling argument\, together with techniques from concentration of measure\, filtering theory\, and Malliavin calculus.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Stories We Carry
DESCRIPTION:*Free and open to the public. Registration is not required. *\n\nNovelist Colum McCann joins Michigan Public's April Baer for a conversation on storytelling as an act of empathy and why listening matters now more than ever. \n\nStories have the power not only to entertain or inform\, but to help us imagine lives beyond our own. In this special Jill S. Harris Memorial Lecture\, internationally acclaimed novelist Colum McCann joins Michigan Public's April Baer for a conversation about storytelling as an act of empathy\, curiosity\, and human connection. Drawing on McCann's celebrated fiction and his work as co-founder of Narrative 4\, the discussion will explore how stories invite us to listen more deeply\, understand one another across differences\, and expand our sense of what it means to be human. At a time when genuine listening can feel increasingly rare\, this conversation will consider the unique role that literature and storytelling can play in helping us encounter one another with greater openness\, compassion\, and imagination.\n\nJoin us after the conversation for a Community Story Exchange led by Narrative 4 at 7pm! Registration appreciated. More details at https://events.umich.edu/event/149899.\n\nColum McCann is the author of eight novels\, three collections of stories and two works of non-fiction. Born and raised in Dublin\, Ireland\, he has been the recipient of many international honours\, including the U.S National Book Award\, the International Dublin Literary Prize\, a Chevalier des Arts et Lettres from the French government\, election to the Irish arts academy\, several European awards\, the 2010 Best Foreign Novel Award in China\, and an Oscar nomination. In 2017 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts.  He is the President and co-founder of the non-profit global story exchange organisation\, Narrative 4. He lives in New York with his wife Allison and their family.  His 2009 novel Let the Great World Spin has sold a million copies in the United States alone\, and was voted on the New York Times Readers List\, “100 Best Books of the 21st Century.”  \n\nApril Baer is the host of Michigan Public’s Stateside talk show. Prior to her arrival in Michigan\, April was the host of the weekly show State of Wonder on Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) for the past six years. Before that\, she was the Morning Edition host and a reporter at OPB\, covering beats including government and legal affairs\, changing demographics and the arts.\n\n*The Jill S. Harris Memorial Endowment was established in 1985 by Roger and Meredith Harris\, Jill’s parents\, her grandparents Allan and Norma Harris\, and friends. The fund was established in memory of Jill\, a resident of Chicago and undergraduate student at U-M who passed away due to injuries from an auto accident.*

DESCRIPTION:Korean food is having a moment–one that's been decades in the making. Dr. Rory Walsh explores what Korean food is\, how it got that way\, and how it's changing under our noses. From Ann Arbor to Seoul\, this talk explores what food has to do with tradition\, identity\, international politics\, ancient history\, family\, self\, and\, of course\, the deceptively complicated concept of authenticity.\n\nRory Walsh has been studying the anthropology of Korea since 2012\, and has eaten her way across the peninsula (and Jeju!). She has written extensively on Korean archaeology and hosts the UM Nam Center for Korean Studies' podcast\, \"Korea in Maize and Blue: How Did You Get Here?\"\, interviewing Korean scholars and other professionals across disciplines.\n\nThis event is part of Korea Week\, and is held in partnership with the Ann Arbor District Library and the Korean Cultural Center of Washington D.C. For more information\, visit https://myumi.ch/9JJ4g.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jonathan Turley: Rage and the Republic
DESCRIPTION:Professor Jonathan Turley will be discussing his book\, \"Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution\". The New York Times bestseller has been described by former NPR editor Uri Berliner as “Jonathan Turley's birthday gift to America to mark its 250 years of independence... A wise guide to avoid wrecking the American project.\"\n\nTurley explores the unique elements of the American Revolution in comparison to its counterpart in France. He discusses why one became the world’s oldest democracy and the other became the infamous “Terror.” That story is told with vivid stories of the personalities of the age\, including Thomas Paine’s\, who was one of two leading figures in both revolutions (the other being Lafayette).  Turley takes that rich history and asks whether the American Republic can survive the 21st Century.

SUMMARY:Performance:Hazlett
DESCRIPTION:Artist presale: June 16\, 10am\n\nPublic on sale: June 18\, 10am\n\nRaw introspective indie-folk\n\nSweden-based\, Australian-born Hazlett returns to the road following the success of his latest full-length album\, \"last night you said you missed me\".  Hazlett divulges: \"When I started this whole thing I wanted anyone who starts to listen to feel like they’re part of this whole thing with me—growing and finding ourselves along the way.” Over the past several years\, Hazlett and his unique brand of Indie Folk have quietly built a devoted following through his heartfelt songwriting and captivating live performances. Whether it's an intimate club\, historic theatre\, or on festival stages around the world\, his ability to create genuine connection with audiences continues to set him apart. From lush acoustic textures to stripped-back ballads\, anchored by songs like “doing my best”\, “Blame The Moon” and “queen of the season\, each piece unfolds like a page from a well-worn journal\, exploring themes of self-preservation\, distance\, yearning\, and quiet hope. For the restless hearts\, the gentle souls\, and the dreamers\, the live show and albums it gravitates around are both a confession and a cathartic hug. It reminds us that home is not always a place. Sometimes\, it’s a song that stays a while.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:2026 Second Year Studio Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAugust 24 - October 18\, 2026\nExhibition Reception: October 1\, 1-2:30 p.m.\n\nIn their second year\, Stamps students complete a major milestone: Second Year Studio (SYS). It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" \n\nStamps Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator Sally Clegg notes\, \"Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now?\" At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. The pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path: experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\n\nAs Course Coordinator\, Stamps Assistant Professor Pedram Baldari both teaches and works directly with all the faculty overseeing each section to collaboratively support the entire class. He offers this reflection on the diverse collection of work on view in this year’s exhibition.\n\nThese works engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\nSYS is intentionally structured around a different learning model than project-based courses. Rather than responding to predetermined assignments\, students identify their own questions and spend an entire semester developing them through research\, experimentation\, critique\, and multiple iterations. The emphasis is not on arriving quickly at a resolved outcome\, but on cultivating the capacity to work independently\, remain responsive to new discoveries\, and allow the project itself to evolve through sustained engagement.\n\nAs a result\, the exhibition presents more than a collection of finished works. It documents different ways of investigating\, testing\, and refining ideas. Some students advance through material experimentation\, others through drawing\, installation\, performance\, digital media\, social engagement\, or speculative approaches. Each project reflects a distinct methodology that has developed through repeated cycles of making\, reflection\, critique\, and revision. In a sense\, the dialectical process generated by the nature of this course is the most significant thread connecting this year’s exhibition. It marks a point at which students begin moving beyond solving assignments toward constructing independent practices\, developing the habits of inquiry\, critical reflection\, and experimentation that will continue to shape their work well beyond SYS.\n\n\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n<ul class=\"twocol\">\n\nNailah Aguilar\n\nAkylah Archer\n\nZachary Berenbaum\n\nSamantha Blaine\n\nLauren Boyce\n\nKas Brajkovic\n\nAnna Browne\n\nLilah Chow\n\nIsabella Cortes\n\nMagdalena Dimovski\n\nLeah Elliott\n\nAya Fadlelzebair\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Camille Ann Brewer\, MFA\, MLIS
DESCRIPTION:Camille Ann Brewer lives and works in the City of Detroit\, Michigan.  Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work.  \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space.  In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Photo Exhibition. This is the Place
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time  between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Just there......no .....it does not proclaim its purpose for blooming is to make people happy. It just is. Like standing in front of an easel and painting........just is.......no matter......what proclamations may be concluded to sway the viewer. Same thing goes for fine art.  It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate.   It can be quiet or loud. I see so much very weak work uplifted not for its quality but because it’s in fashion.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky  portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration.  \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Hands on Fire
DESCRIPTION:Jim Cogswell: Hands on Fire\n\n**August 31 to October 9\, 2026**\n**Public Reception: Friday\, September 18\, 4:30 to 6:30 pm**\n\nJim Cogswell’s Hands on Fire is a solo exhibition of mixed media drawings at the Residential College Gallery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The exhibition features sixty works on paper completed between 2024 and 2026.\n\nThis body of work responds to Greek Cypriot filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis’ cinematic adaptations of three tragedies by Euripides dealing with the Trojan War and its aftermath: Electra (1962)\, The Trojan Women (1971)\, and Iphigenia (1977). The work is in close conversation with Vinyl Euripides (2022)\, Cogswell’s adhesive vinyl installation on three floors of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens\, Greece\, which also responded to the cinematic trilogy. By following Cacoyannis’ adaptations\, Cogswell builds on a cross-cultural history of restaging these tragedies to examine the human suffering caused by war\, imperial overreach\, and abuse of power\; and the dehumanizing consequences of revenge as a course of justice.\n\nWithin each drawing multiple scenes from the three narratives are overlaid within single frames\, suggesting the unseen entanglements that bind these ancient stories into such a persistent vision of our human position.\n\nThe grid of paintings encircling the gallery proposes a linear narrative but delivers instead a sequence that loops and turns on itself\, a stuck frame that stutters until bursting in flames. The grid also evokes the net that is a central feature of the series--the web of fate and circumstance that governs each of our lives\, that determines who we are and what is possible for us at any given moment in history.\n\nThe drawings are also characterized by a repeated motif of hands as consuming flames. Hands have unlimited expressive and narrative potential. They testify to the centrality of making in the development of human cognition. They are reminders of the constructed world and the laborers responsible for bringing it into being. We use hands as a form of communication to shape and express our inner states. Hands teach us to feel and to reason\, to count and to indicate. They give us agency\, as creators but also as destroyers. They give form to our willingness to act in the world\, in greed or compassion.\n\n---\n\n**This exhibition is made possible with funding from the Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan Office of Research.**\n\nFrom the Artist\n\nI am grateful to the Modern Greek Program in the Department of Classical Studies\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts at the University of Michigan\, for their ongoing support for my research and the dissemination of this project.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Birth Joy
DESCRIPTION:Black Birth Joy by Tiana Lashae documents birth as a deeply personal story of connection\, courage\, tenderness\, and joy. The photographs and stories in the exhibit challenge mainstream narratives that reduce Black birth to statistics and only amplify Black pregnant women's anxiety and hesitancy about navigating the maternal health care system. Instead\, the exhibit offers evidence of joy\, reminders of possibility\, and a visual legacy for generations to come. \n \nBlack Birth Joy was born from Lashae's belief that more positive birth stories of BIPOC families need to be seen and heard\, and her photographs invite viewers to witness the people behind them: the mothers\, babies\, partners\, families\, and birthworkers. They create space for BIPOC families to see themselves represented with dignity and to witness the full range of birth experiences. Lashae's photographs also create a tangible record that can support conversations around quality of medical care\, respectful treatment\, and patient rights. The exhibit empowers women to prioritize and advocate for their birth experiences while also encouraging perinatal health professionals and birthworkers to center the humanity\, dignity\, and individual experiences of patients and families. \n\nThe exhibit comprises over 30 photographs as well as stories of mothers whose births were documented by Lashae\, a doula and birth/newborn photographer whose work has been published in Everyday Birth Magazine\, an international publication. The physical exhibit is accompanied by a virtual component that encourages audiences to engage with each mother's birth story.\n\nThe Lane Hall Exhibit Space is sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) at the University of Michigan. \n\nBlack Birth Joy\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 – Friday\, January 15\, 2027\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\, 204 S State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\nOpen M–F\, 9AM–5PM

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Faster and More Fun: American Home Cooking in the 1920s
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room to see historical materials that illustrate women’s changing relationship with food\, cooking\, and technology during the heady decade of the 1920s\, sandwiched between WWI and the Great Depression. This exhibit features materials from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, as well as select items from the Art\, Architecture\, and Engineering Special Collections and the Transportation History Collection.\n\nAs America rang in a new decade in the 1920s\, cookbook authors and appliance manufacturers stood ready to offer the newly emancipated and forward-thinking American woman a vision for her future\, a vision that would be scientifically  grounded\, speedy enough to make time for leisure as well as housework\, and guaranteed to bring fun to that most humdrum of chores: planning and preparing meals for a family three times a day\, 365 days a year.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Grand Vision
DESCRIPTION:Visiting artist Olayami Dabls is a storyteller\, curator\, educator\, and mentor. He is the founder of the MBAD African Bead Museum in Detroit. Through material culture\, Dabls presents commentary on the past\, present\, and future from African and African-American perspectives\, with the understanding that generations of African ancestors used visual materials to convey information about their identity as well as send messages for healing and protection. Dabls is a luminary\; for decades he has re-imagined what a museum space can be\, accessible to everyone\, free from the underpinnings of colonialism and the Western\, often white\, frame. *Grand Vision* includes a conceptual installation in the Gallery\, presenting Dabls’s own work in visual conversation with African beads and artifacts from Dabls’s Bead Museum collections. \n\nAdditionally\, Dabls’s iconic outdoor sculpture *Iron Teaching Rocks Table Manners* will be installed on the U-M campus grounds near UMMA\, at the intersection of State Street and South University from September 17- October 11\, 2026. The project’s range intends to more fully articulate the many facets of Dabls’ creative practice\, and the overlay of art\, history\, identity\, community\, and healing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Diagnosis & Disability: Clarifying the Connection
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores the important distinctions—and areas of overlap—between having a medical diagnosis and meeting the legal definition of disability. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of what constitutes a diagnosis\, how disability is defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)\, and when a diagnosis may rise to the level of a disability in employment and educational settings.     \n\nUsing practical examples\, the session will raise awareness of key considerations regarding documentation\, accommodations\, and the interactive process. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of how diagnosis and disability intersect in real-world contexts and how to approach accommodation-related conversations with greater clarity and confidence.\n\nAmerican Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services and Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) captioning services will be provided. If you need additional accommodations to participate in this webinar\, please email the ADA Coordinator at ADAcoordinator@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 3): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through December 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Southeast Michigan-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 11 - December 11) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 3 \n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nAbhishek Narula\, Compressions \nCompressions is an installation comprised of 416 industrial-grade zip ties\, cinched around the entry pillar of the Stamps Gallery. The pillar measures roughly 110 inches in circumference\, requiring two ties per row to wrap around it\, resulting in 208 rows. The humble zip tie\, typically used to hang and bind other material\, is relegated to its functional properties rendering it unprepossessing and easily dismissed. The zip tie in this installation\, instead serves as an object of aesthetic possibility\, pulling it out of its usual background role to become the work itself. The resulting composition is a proposal to dwell\, to slow down\, and to simply see the pillar.\n\nAbhishek Narula is an artist\, designer\, and educator who works across sculpture\, installation\, sound\, and video. His practice takes the form of interventions\, working with what is already present. He reorients and disrupts objects and sites in order to open up formal possibilities and poetic experiences within the familiar. He is influenced by physical and digital infrastructural systems that sustain modern life and culture. His work treats this ambience itself as raw material for aesthetic inquiry\, exploring themes of labor\, precarity\, temporality and the sublime. Narula earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and his MS/BS in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited at national and international venues such as the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology\, Science Gallery Detroit\, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia\, New Media Caucus (NMC)\, WaveFarm\, The Boulder Public Library\, The Hyde Park Art Center\, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press\, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI)\, International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA)\, among others. He is a Robotics Systems Designer and Lecturer in the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\nNathan Byrne\, Equally To Be Loved\nEqually To Be Loved is an image / object scaled to and installed upon the courtyard pillar of Stamps Gallery. The image is of a spontaneous sculpture made in 2017 during the first day of an artist residency at the Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program. The sculpture was constructed in a storage container studio using 14 discrete objects that were in his studio upon entry. For Byrne\, this work embodies the energy and spirit of a studio at the start of a particularly fecund period of making. This work speaks to the artist’s interest in embodied experience of space\, archival and site responsiveness\, as well as his ongoing engagement with found materials. Byrne considers this project to be a far-flung sequel to his MFA thesis exhibition Equally Empty\, which was shown at Stamps Gallery in 2021. Equally To Be Loved is the second line of the Buddhist mantra from which both titles are derived.\n\nNathan Byrne is an artist / educator / curator currently based in Detroit\, MI. Through spatial and archive responsive projects\, he reimagines\, and explores within frameworks such as language\, the passage of time\, and contemplation. Intrigued by the potential of conveying phenomenal\, transformative\, and emotive states through materiality\, process\, and placement\, he negotiates the pliability of the viewer’s encounters with objects and environments. Byrne holds an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and a BA in Studio Art and Art History from San Francisco State University. He has been a Lecturer at Stamps School of Art & Design since the Fall of 2022. His work is exhibited widely nationally and he is a recipient of the VSC Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. He has been awarded numerous artist residencies including Anderson Ranch Arts Center\, I-Park\, KHN Center for the Arts\, Prairie Ronde\, Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program\, and Rockland Woods.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The China Shock in India: Input Linkages and Output Competition in Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:This paper studies how the impact of a trade shock depends on a country's production technology as well as its position in the global supply chain. I decompose the effect of China's WTO accession in 2001 on Indian manufacturing into two channels - direct competition and higher intermediate input availability. The input channel dominates\, in part driven by the fact that Indian manufacturers were predominantly buyers of Chinese intermediates rather than competitors in final-goods markets. Using district-level data and a shift-share IV methodology\, I find that a 1 standard deviation higher exposure to Chinese inputs per worker is associated with a 0.61 percentage point higher manufacturing employment share. Disaggregating imports by end-use\, I show that the direct competition channel lowers employment shares only for intermediate goods sectors while the input channel is associated with higher employment shares for consumer\, intermediate and capital goods. To quantify aggregate welfare and employment effects\, I construct a quantitative trade model with input-output linkages in production. The model implies a moderate welfare improvement and corroborates the reduced form mechanism\, with welfare gains larger in states reliant on China-shocked sectors for inputs.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Democracy Week | Beacon of Democratic Resilience: Visual Truths and the Legacy of Korea's 5·18 Democratization Movement - A Photographic Archive of the May 1980 People’s Uprising in Korea
DESCRIPTION:Link to the official event poster: \nhttps://myumi.ch/kVdVV\n\nFor parking information\, please visit this link: https://www.dc.umich.edu/about-the-dc/maps-floor-plans-hours/#parking\n\nExhibition Opening Event: \n- When: Friday\, September 18\, 5 pm to 6 pm\n- Where: Duderstadt Center Gallery\n- Open to the public\n- Description: Please join us for the opening of this photo exhibition. The event will feature remarks by the organizers\, the exhibition curators\, one of the featured photojournalists\, and a former Peace Corps volunteer who has stood in solidarity with the people of Gwangju since 1980. Light refreshments are provided. \n\n*Exhibition Description*\nThis photo exhibition features 90 curated images from the UNESCO-inscribed May 18 Archives. Documenting the May 18–27\, 1980 democratization uprising in Gwangju\, South Korea\, the collection captures the shift from peaceful student protests to military violence and unified citizen resistance\, carried out under a complete blackout as civilians and photojournalists risked their lives to photograph atrocities and smuggle film past cordons. Beyond serving as historical artifacts\, these preserved visual truths offer a living blueprint for popular resilience against authoritarianism\, transforming local trauma into a universal defense of human rights. Displaying these records at Michigan bridges 1980 Gwangju with our present moment\, inviting viewers to engage past resistance in the ongoing effort to defend democracy today.\n\n*Exhibition Composition*\nThe exhibit will be composed of a visual narrative comprised of six chronological sections and two additional special sections:\n\n1. Protest (May 5–16\, 1980): \nFollowing the collapse of Park Chung-hee’s military dictatorship in October\, 1979\, Gwangju students and citizens held peaceful rallies for campus autonomy and the end of martial law. Photos from this era show orderly marches and hopeful faces\, capturing a society on the brink of change before the structural contradictions shifted toward state-led violence. \n\n2. Suppression (May 18–19\, 1980): \nA new junta government led by Chun Doo-hwan extended martial law to the entire country on May 17. Students at Chonnam National University protested against the new junta government’s decision. State violence escalated as paratroopers\, who were deployed to Gwangju\, engaged student protesters. Streets became scenes of brutal beatings and kidnappings. Beyond documenting victims\, the images on display in this section serve as primary historical evidence and legal proof of the military's methods and the sudden transformation of citizens into targets of control. \n\n3. Uprising (May 20–21\, 1980): \nThe movement shifted into a popular struggle. Vehicles lined up in Gwangju’s main thoroughfare\, Geumnam-ro. This massive vehicle parade symbolized the people becoming active subjects of resistance. The military was given the order to use live ammunition against civilians. In reaction\, the city became a space of voluntary mobilization and citizens emerged as historical political actors. \n\n4. Resistance (May 22–26\, 1980): \nWhile isolated and cut off from communications\, Gwangju established an autonomous system of self-governance. Photos in this section testify to the efforts made to establish a sense of order based on solidarity—sharing food and donating blood—rather than chaos. The formation of this \"Daedong (Great Unity) Community\" and the visual documentation thereof serve as foundations of democracy in South Korea. \n\n5. Massacre (May 27\, 1980): \nThe uprising was crushed by a dawn military operation. While the armed resistance ended\, the resulting photographs of the aftermath reveal the stark reality of the massacre. These images became the catalyst for future truth-seeking movements and the pursuit of historical justice in South Korea. \n\n6. Mourning: \nScenes of coffins\, portraits\, and silent vigils represent a collective ethical gaze. During this period\, mourning was more than a display of grief\; it was a communal act used to redefine the city’s identity and establish new moral standards for justice.\n\n7. Special Section A: The Photographers\nThis special section highlights the domestic and international photographers who documented the uprising. This includes Korean journalists alongside US journalists Robin Moyer and Norman Thorpe\, French correspondents Patrick Chauvel and François Lochon\, and German cinematographer Jürgen Hinzpeter. Their images transcend simple reporting\, reflecting a moral commitment to record and a historical duty to ensure remembrance. Rather than viewing these photos solely as evidence\, the exhibition reinterprets them through a lens of photographic history—examining their context\, distribution\, and how they transformed raw records into social truth and collective memory.\n\n8. Special Section B: The Peace Corps: Americans Who Helped Gwangju\nWhen Gwangju was isolated under martial law in May 1980\, four American Peace Corps volunteers—Tim Warnberg\, David Lee Dolinger\, Judi Chamberlin\, and Paul Courtright—refused to leave\, choosing instead to assist the wounded\, aid foreign journalists\, and ultimately expose the truth to the world. Those pivotal ten days reshaped their lives into lifelong commitments to human rights\, inspiring decades of memoirs\, academic writings\, and testimonies. Through photographs\, video footage\, and personal records\, this section traces their journey from eyewitnesses to active defenders of human dignity\, inviting us to reflect on what it truly means to take a stand in the face of another’s suffering. \n\nTwo additional events programmed in conjunction with this photo exhibition\n1. Symposium: \n“For Thee and All the World to See: May 18 Gwangju and the Visual Tenacities of South Korean Democracy”\nhttps://myumi.ch/mVdVJ \n\n2. Third Thursday at the Library: \nDemocracy in Motion: The Advancement of Democracy in Korea and the Students at the Frontline\nhttps://myumi.ch/rwdwn \n\nContent Warning: This exhibition contains historical photographs documenting the 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement\, including graphic depictions of violence\, state military suppression\, injuries\, and grief. Viewer discretion is advised.\n\nThis exhibit is co-sponsored by the May 18 Archives\, Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Department of Political Science\, Center for Emerging Democracies\, Donia Human Rights Center\, Asia Library\, and Duderstadt Center.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Multimargin Selection in Leniency Designs
DESCRIPTION:Leniency designs use quasi-random assignment to decision makers with different treatment propensities to estimate causal effects. When decision makers weight unobserved case characteristics differently\, a higher (lower) overall treatment rate can mask a lower (higher) probability of treating some case types. I develop a model with finitely many latent regimes\, each representing a case type with its own potential outcome distributions and treatment probabilities that vary across decision-makers. The main identifying restriction is that\, within a regime and conditional on observed characteristics\, unobserved factors governing treatment decisions are independent of potential outcomes. Under the model\, observed outcome distributions admit a finite mixture representation\, and pairwise Wald estimands decompose into regime-specific treatment effects weighted by each regime’s share of the aggregate first stage. I give conditions for identifying the number of regimes\, their treatment effects\, and their weights using parametric restrictions on outcome distributions or auxiliary pretreatment measurements. I characterize when the weights are nonnegative and when they are constant across decision-maker pairs. I develop bootstrap tests of both restrictions and establish their pointwise asymptotic validity for a fixed number of regimes. Applying the model to Miami-Dade pretrial bail data\, I find that some of the more lenient groups of judges release fewer defendants of the case type for whom release most reduces prison time.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Elizabeth Nance\, *University of Washington*
DESCRIPTION:A reception with light refreshments will be held in the B10 lobby before each seminar from 1-1:30 p.m.\n\n*Abstract:*\nTherapeutics for neonatal and pediatric populations often lag years behind adult treatments\, leaving clinicians to rely on off-label use of adult drugs. This gap underscores the urgent need for technologies tailored to the unique physiology of newborns and children\, particularly for conditions involving the brain. Our research addresses this challenge by engineering microphysiological models that replicate the complexity of the brain microenvironment and enable systematic evaluation of therapeutic strategies. In this talk\, I will highlight how we use physiologically relevant models to inform the design of neuroprotective strategies for neonatal and pediatric brain diseases. I will show a few case studies of leveraging these models to screen therapeutics\, including the use of nanotechnology platforms for small molecule delivery\, to advance their use in the clinic. By bridging engineering\, neuroscience\, and data science\, our goal is to close the technology gap for children’s therapeutics and improve neurological health across the lifespan.\n\n*Bio:*\nDr. Elizabeth Nance is the Steven & Connie Rogel Endowed Professor & Department Chair of Chemical Engineering at UW\, Professor of Bioengineering\, and Adjunct Professor in Radiology. Elizabeth received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from NC State University\, and her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering with Dr. Justin Hanes\, with a focus on nanotherapies for brain cancer. She completed a postdoc with Dr. Sujatha Kannan in Anesthesiology & Critical Care Medicine at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine\, with training in neuroscience and animal model development. Elizabeth has received the Presidential Early Career Achievement in Science & Engineering (PECASE) award\, the UW Undergraduate Research Mentor Award\, an NIGMS R35 MIRA award\, and the Burroughs Wellcome Career Award. She was a finalist for the 2025 Blavatnik National Award for Life Sciences and was named to the College of Fellows for the Controlled Release Society. Elizabeth serves as the Editor in Chief for Bioengineering & Translational Medicine and is a mentor with Invent@Seattle Children’s to support commercialization of therapeutics for kids.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Implementation Research for Brain-Computer Interface to Access Commercial Software\nAbstract:\nWearable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are a promising option to provide access to technology for those with severe disabilities without requiring physical movement. However\, BCIs are not yet available as a commercial assistive technology. Dr. Huggins' University of Michigan Direct Brain Interface Laboratory focuses on making BCIs practical for people who need them.  This involves identifying and solving usability issues that others have overlooked. Our BCI includes expanding capabilities to access commercial software and provides usability features designed for real-world\, user-paced communication. Our in-home clinical trials and laboratory testing of BCI with real-world tasks have identified additional challenges that must be overcome to expand BCI availability and usability so that BCI can become a standard of care for those with the most profound physical disabilities.     \n\nBio:\nDr. Huggins is trained in Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering with degrees from Carnegie Mellon and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. She completed a clinical Rehabilitation Engineering Internship. She co-founded the University of Michigan Direct Brain Interface Laboratory and has led it since 2007. Her current focus is making EEG-based brain-computer interfaces practical for people who need them. Outside the lab\, Dr. Huggins enjoys knitting\, birdwatching\, genealogy\, cooking for her husband\, and being Mom to her college-age children.\n\nDr. Huggins was a founding member of the board of directors of the Brain-Computer Interface Society. She has a patent on the BCI hold-release algorithm and BCI use for multiple choice tests.  Dr. Huggins’ research has received grant funding from the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation\, the Mildred E. Swanson Foundation\, the National Institute on Disability\, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research\, the National Science Foundation\, the National Institutes of Health\, the Prentke Romich Company\, and funding from General Motors.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Astronomy Colloquium | AI Discovery in Physics and Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:AI may change how science answers its hardest open questions\, and even which questions it asks. Today's vast datasets hold physical information we do not yet know how to look for\, and AI offers a way to search for the unexpected. To trust AI discoveries\, we need to judge models by whether they obey the laws of physics. How convincing their outputs look is not enough. In this talk I will discuss the promise and challenges of cutting-\nedge AI for science\, and how to define and build physical realism into our models. I will present recent progress\non physical\, probabilistic\, and generative models for astronomy. I will also show where classical physics\nmodels\, machine learning\, and agentic AI each reach their limits.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Prioritization of technology development and scale-up pathways for sustainable (bio)energy systems
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe pursuit of clean\, equitable\, renewable fuels has become a catalyst for research and development. Yet a critical challenge in transitioning fuel supply chains is the vast landscape of possible technology development pathways and the lack of transparent\, consistent frameworks to target research and investment. This presentation will introduce quantitative sustainable design (QSD)\, a framework for prioritizing research\, development\, and deployment pathways for emerging technologies. QSD integrates process design and simulation\, techno-economic analysis\, and life cycle assessment under uncertainty to identify the factors governing sustainability\, quantify performance gaps\, establish actionable research targets\, and guide technology and system design. Examples from the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation will illustrate how QSD can inform the conversion of perennial grasses (including Miscanthus\, switchgrass\, and sugarcane) and agricultural residues into biofuels and bioproducts\, with particular attention to sustainable aviation fuel. By connecting process-scale analyses with broader infrastructure and spatial models\, we also evaluate where and how these technologies could be deployed\, including opportunities to integrate low-carbon fuel production with existing infrastructure and strategically site bioenergy facilities. Together\, these examples demonstrate how transparent\, systems-level analysis can direct innovation and investment toward energy solutions that are technically feasible\, financially viable\, environmentally beneficial\, and responsive to broader societal goals.\n\nBiography:\nDr. Jeremy Guest is the Department Head and David C. Crawford Faculty Scholar in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He also holds an appointment (by courtesy) as a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. The core goal of Professor Guest’s research group is to advance circular bioeconomies for a more sustainable and just future. His team supports this vision by developing computational models to prioritize research\, development\, and deployment pathways for new technologies that achieve resource recovery from wastewaters and the conversion of plants to products\, food\, and fuels. Professor Guest’s formal training includes a B.S. and M.S. in civil engineering from Bucknell University and Virginia Tech\, respectively\, and a Ph.D. in environmental engineering from the University of Michigan.\n\nFor the most up to date information on the location\, please check the related link the week of this event

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Enhancing biological datasets using artificial intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Seminar summary - Biological data have expanded in breadth and depth over the last decade\, leading to larger datasets that hold the potential to answer questions at greater resolution. Despite this growth\, some datasets remain inherently limited\; including many derived from specimens from natural history collections. In this talk\, Bryan Carstens will discuss the potential of Artificial Intelligence approaches to improve biological datasets. One example describes the application of transfer learning to improve the genomic data collected from specimens where the sampling is inherently limited\, such as from extinct species. A second describes the use of neutral networks to automate pseudo-landmarks in three dimensional geometric morphometrics. Taken together\, this work suggests that AI has the potential to enhance biological data\, leading to increased inferential capabilities.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Imagine Lagos: Rethinking the Histories of West African Cities in the Nineteenth Century
DESCRIPTION:Urban questions have taken on a new urgency\, as cities like Lagos grow faster and more intensely\, seemingly every day. But how should we understand the ways the past shaped and produced this present? And how can\, or should we\, write and map the histories of people rooted in oral cultures? This presentation explores the premise that reading Lagos’s streets shapes the ways to ask\, analyze and frame nineteenth-century narratives of the city. By drawing new maps of Lagos and the lagoon\, I transcribe the answers to these questions as they were understood and framed in the city’s social geography.\n\nTrained as both historian and computer engineer\, Ademide’s research into the history of West African cities combines a set of interdisciplinary interests in maps\, mapmaking\, and digital humanities. Her first book\, Imagine Lagos\, explores the city’s 19th-century history. It was awarded the Best Book Prize in 2024 by the African Studies Association and is a finalist for the Association for the Study of the Worldwide African Diaspora’s Outstanding First Book award. She a founding member of the Lagos Studies Association\, and is Associate Professor of History at Howard University (where she is also a faculty affiliate of the Black Data Lab).\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Imagining Palestine-Israel
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to a moderated conversation around a forthcoming special issue of the journal Palestine/Israel Review\, titled “Imagining Palestine-Israel” guest-edited by Ebileeni and Pinsker.\n\nThe call for papers from spring 2024 stated that in thinking about Palestine-Israel\, to imagine is both problematic and crucial insofar as imagination might offer different and new horizons and futures or further preserve the political impasse as well as diverge from the atrocities of the present into even more dangerous territories. The editors also raised some of the following questions:\n\n– Is it possible to envision a way forward in this present moment?\n– Is it possible to imagine together an equitable future that will account for the atrocities and injustices of the past and still make room for a Palestine and an Israel on the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea?\n– Is a dialogue based on honesty and accountability possible at all anymore?\n– Are dialogues about Palestine and Israel in academia at all beneficial?\n\nScholars across various disciplines (literary and cultural studies\, anthropology\, history)\, from around the globe\, responded to the call and these questions. They tried to make sense of the ever-escalating destruction of Gaza\, and to engage in the difficult task of imagining what the future could look like.\n\nNow\, two years after the “Imagining Palestine-Israel” scholarly initiative started\, amidst a US and Israeli-led war on Iran and its subsidiary front with Lebanon\, the questions we raised back in 2024 are even more relevant.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nilima Sheikh: Picturing the Other
DESCRIPTION:Join acclaimed visual artist Nilima Sheikh for a conversation with Rattanamol Singh Johal about her artistic practice and engagement with traditional Indian art forms and literary sources. The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A.\n\nNilima Sheikh’s work focuses on displacement\, loss\, longing\, violence\, the perception of tradition and ideas of femininity. Her artworks\, using tempera on handmade paper or canvas\, are influenced by Persian\, Central Asian\, Far Eastern\, pre-Renaissance European and North Indian schools of painting. Her visual and textual layering\, informed by a mix of lore and history\, offers glimpses into multiple worlds\, and a commitment to feminist realities.\n\nNilima Sheikh was born in New Delhi\, India in 1945. After graduating in History from Delhi University\, she studied Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts\, MS University of Baroda between 1965 and 1971 under the mentorship of Professor KG Subramanyan. Her work explores historical art forms through the lens of personal subjectivities\, using a range of visual and literary sources. Working at different scales and on varied surfaces\, her contemporary practice critically engages a wide range of visual methods\, materials and styles.\n\nSheikh's solo exhibition 'Fractured Skies' at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York will be on view from September 27\, 2026 through June 13\, 2027. Recent exhibitions include 'The Imaginary Institution of India' at the Barbican Centre in London (2024)\, the Sharjah Biennial 15 titled 'Thinking Historically in the Present' (2023)\, the Dhaka Art Summit (2020)\, the Kochi-Muziris Biennale (2018)\, Documenta 14 in Kassel and Athens (2017)\, and 'Each night put Kashmir in your dreams' at the Art Institute of Chicago (2014). Sheikh's writings have been published widely\, she has created scenography for theatre\, and also illustrated books for children. \n\nThis event is made possible by the Shireen and Afzal Ahmad South Asian Arts Programming Fund.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The DAAS Zora Neale Hurston Lecture of the Humanities with Edda Fields-Black (Carnegie Mellon)
DESCRIPTION:Edda L. Fields-Black is an American historian who is Professor of History and Director of the Dietrich College Humanities Center at Carnegie Mellon University. She won the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in History for her book COMBEE: Harriet Tubman\, the Combahee River Raid\, and Black Freedom during the Civil War. \n\nSummary\nHarriet Tubman's legendary life is widely known: escaping enslavement\, leading others to freedom via the Underground Railroad\, and tirelessly fighting for change. But a crucial chapter often overlooked is her daring Civil War service as a spy for the US Army\, detailed in Dr. Edda L.Fields-Black's groundbreaking book\, COMBEE: Harriet Tubman\, the Combahee River Raid\, and Black Freedom during the Civil War\, which won the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in History and the 2025Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize. A direct descendant of a soldier who fought in the raid\, Fields-Black unveils Tubman's command of spies\, scouts\, and pilots and intelligence gathering among freedom seekers\, which led to a raid that liberated 756 enslaved people from bondage on seven rice plantations. It was the largest slave rebellion in US history. Through unexamined documents\, she brings to life the Combahee River Raid and the untold stories of those freed\, their resilience\, and the lasting impact of Tubman's heroism.\nReception to follow

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:This Time *Is* Different: The Challenges—Old and New—of AI in Education
DESCRIPTION:The world's best artificial intelligence systems already exceed us in some ways\, and seem poised to surpass us cognitively in every way. Some argue that we are entering a singularity -- a moment when old rules are obsolete\; and new ones\, impossible to predict. Given that\, is there anything at all we can glean about the future of AI and learning? In this talk\, I will present a few things we know as a basis for conjecture and make some guesses based on three decades of work in technical AI\, societal impacts of digital technology\, and faculty governance at a large public university wrestling with this polarizing technology.\n\nKentaro Toyama is W. K. Kellogg Professor of Community Information at the University of Michigan School of Information\, where he researches digital technology's impact on society\, especially on its marginalized communities. Previously\, Kentaro taught at Ashesi University in Ghana and co-founded Microsoft Research India\, where he did research on the applications of digital technology to education and international socio-economic development. He is a fellow of the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at MIT\; author of Geek Heresy: Rescuing Social Change from the Cult of Technology\; and UM Faculty Senate Chair for AY 2026-27.\n\nThis event is presented by the GenAI and Human Learning Working Group at the Eileen Lappin Weiser Center for the Learning Sciences.\n\nBuilding Access: A valid Mcard is required to access the School of Education Building.\n\nContact LappinWeiserCLS@umich.edu with questions or accessibility requests.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Political Ecology Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Political Ecology Workshop (PEW) is an interdisciplinary space for scholars at all career stages with interests in political ecology and related critical approaches to the study of environment-society interactions. PEW brings together a range of divisions across campus\, including Anthropology\, History\, Environment and Sustainability\, Political Science\, Sociology\, and all Area Studies departments and programs. We have founded a collaborative\, multidisciplinary community with a shared investment questioning how environments and societies are co-produced and the ways in which power and inequality impact the dynamics and understandings of this co-production. We have run PEW as an RIW for two years and all the workshops have been possible from our committed participants from diverse fields. This year\, we intend to develop our membership further by inviting scholars from broader fields and promoting PEW on listservs across campus.\nPEW supports graduate student development\, including for earlier-stage students seeking interdisciplinary conversations as they develop environment-society research projects and later-stage students seeking to incorporate political ecology into their work. PEW emphasizes dedicated time for graduate students to receive feedback on their work and facilitates faculty-student mentorship. It allows students to access a range of critical environmental studies perspectives they might not have encountered through coursework or departmental activities\, and to grow from the feedback and insight of faculty and peers who share this commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship and professional development.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Success Workshop: Identity and Belonging in Research
DESCRIPTION:Research environments are shaped not only by academic interests and professional goals\, but also by the identities\, experiences\, and perspectives that each person brings. In this interactive workshop\, students will explore what it means to develop a sense of belonging within research and academic spaces. Participants will consider how identity can influence relationships with mentors\, research teams\, and institutions\, while reflecting on the strengths they bring to their work. Through guided discussion\, personal reflection\, and practical scenarios\, students will identify strategies for building supportive relationships\, communicating across differences\, responding to challenges\, and navigating research environments with confidence. The session will also highlight resources and networks that can help students feel supported and empowered throughout their research experience.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Vijay Gupta
DESCRIPTION:\n\nVijay Gupta is a violinist\, curator\, and music director who explores the human condition through music. His performing career has taken him from Carnegie Hall — where he debuted at age eight — to county jails\, Skid Row shelters\, and state psychiatric hospitals\, finding in each the same essential questions about what music is for\, and who it is for. At eleven\, he made his international solo debut with the Israel Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta. At nineteen\, he became the youngest violinist ever to join the Los Angeles Philharmonic\, where he performed for eleven seasons. The Los Angeles Times has called his playing \"brilliant\, bold and gripping\,\" and Publishers Weekly praised his memoir Restrung as a \"a virtuoso performance” that illustrates how music \"reaches the broken places within us and the broken places between us.\"\n\nA recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship and honoree on the Time 100 Next list\, Gupta is the founder and artistic director of Street Symphony\, a nonprofit that brings live music into shelters\, clinics\, county jails\, state hospitals\, and reentry programs across Los Angeles. Over fifteen years\, Street Symphony has delivered more than 3\,000 performances and workshops. The New Yorker called it \"a formidable new model for how musical institutions should engage with the world around them.\" \n\nIn addition to his work with Street Symphony\, Gupta performs as a soloist and as a founding member of the Darshan Piano Trio. He holds degrees in biology and violin performance and completed graduate study at the Yale School of Music. He has addressed audiences at the Aspen Institute\, Mayo Clinic\, Harvard Business School\, the American Medical Association\, and the U.S. Psychiatric Congress\, among others. Restrung\, his memoir\, was published by Grand Central / Da Capo in 2026. \n\nJoining Gupta for this program is pianist Dominic Cheli\, an acclaimed performer whose career has taken him to Carnegie Hall\, Walt Disney Concert Hall\, and major festivals and orchestras across the United States and abroad. A 2017 first-prize winner of the Concert Artists Guild Competition\, Cheli has released acclaimed recordings of works by Clementi\, Liszt\, Schubert\, and Erwin Schulhoff. He is also a member of the Darshan Trio with Gupta and Yoshi Masuda\, whose programs bring together chamber music and new music in unexpected and interdisciplinary ways. \n\nPresented in partnership with the U-M Arts Initiative\, the Michigan Arts Festival\, and the Ann Arbor Symphony.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.\n

SUMMARY:Well-being:Undergraduate Spiritual Wellness Group
DESCRIPTION:What grounds you? What gives your life meaning? And how do you make space to actually think about those questions in the middle of college life?\n\nSpiritual Wellness Group is an 8-week small-group experience designed to help students slow down\, reflect\, and develop skills for tending to their inner lives.\n\nThrough conversation\, reflection\, creative activities\, and shared practices\, participants will strengthen skills in self-awareness\, values clarification\, deep listening\, meaningful conversation\, navigating differences\, and identifying practices that support their well-being. Together\, we’ll explore how our identities\, relationships\, experiences\, beliefs\, questions\, and values shape the way we understand ourselves and the world around us.\n\nYou do not need to identify as religious or spiritual to participate. This is a space for curiosity rather than certainty—where students can ask big questions\, learn from one another\, and become more intentional about what helps them feel grounded and connected.\n\nBy the end of the eight weeks\, we hope participants leave with:\n\nA clearer understanding of the values and experiences that shape them\nPractical tools for reflection and spiritual well-being\nGreater confidence having meaningful conversations across different beliefs and perspectives\nStronger listening and relationship-building skills\nNew practices for finding grounding\, meaning\, and connection in everyday life\nA community of students willing to engage thoughtfully with some of life's bigger questions\n\nSeparate groups are available for undergraduate and graduate students. Light refreshments are provided during sessions\, and participants will conclude the eight weeks with a celebration dinner together.\n\nCome as you are. You don't need to have your spirituality figured out—you just need to be willing to explore.

SUMMARY:Performance:Return to Sender
DESCRIPTION:For one night only: Mark Kirschenmann' \"Return to Sender\" album release concert with the Alex Wand Trio and E3Q.\n\nOct1 7pm East Quad Keene Theater\n\nRC Emeritus Lecturer Mark Kirschenmann performs selections from his new album \"Return to Sender\" for electric trumpet and no input mixer. Released on the Minneapolis-based Neuma Records in September 26\, the label says of the record:\n\nUsually a mixer is judged by how clean it sounds\; the less noise\, the more signal\, the\nbetter. With sneaky patching\, however – with outputs connected back into inputs – it be-\ncomes a different creature entirely: a generator of analog chaos\, volatile and unpredictable.\nAdd a trumpet to the circuit and you are now entering the unstable\, fragile\, and gritty world\nof Mark Kirschenmann.\n\nReturn to Sender takes the idea of feedback to a whole new level. The album captures\nimprovised exchanges between trumpet and No-Input Mixer\, bringing together experimental\njazz\, electronic noise\, and live studio experimentation in a series of one-take unrepeatable\nperformances.\n\nFirst associated with Japanese circuit bender\, Toshimaru Nakamura\, the No-Input Mixer functions as a responsive partner with a mercurial mind of its own. Improvisor Kirschenmann shapes its pulses\, tones\, and feedback into layered textures\, then adds processed trumpet lines that interact with the shifting electronics. The result is a tense\, layered record that moves between rhythm\, noise\, and other-worldly mel-\nody\; redefining both mixing desk and trumpet in the process.\n\n“The performer is in a constant state of improvisation and discovery\,” Kirschenmann said.\n“The mixer reacts in volatile ways\; the trumpet is the human element trying to find its place\nwithin that storm.”\n\nAnn Arbor-based composer/performer Mark Kirschenmann performs the music of Miles\nDavis and has appeared with creative luminaries such as Wadada Leo Smith\, Myra Melford\,\nWilliam Hooker\, and Oliver Lake Return to Sender was mixed and mastered by\nelectronic musician Erdem Helvacioglu.\n\nMark Kirschenmann: https://www.sonikmannmusic.com\nReview: https://www.paris-move.com/reviews/mark-kirschenmann-return-to-sender/

SUMMARY:Performance:Brain Plasticity Ukulele Collective and Blueshouse
DESCRIPTION:On sale Friday\, July 10 at 10am\n\nAnn Arbor’s Brain Plasticity Ukulele Collective is a proudly intergenerational group\, sharing instruments\, knowledge\, kindness\, and talent across eras. Instruments you might hear in the music of the collective include not only ukuleles but also guitar\, flute\, percussion\, harmonica\, accordion\, mandolin\, mandola\, bass\, piano\, and melodica. The group is inspired by the idea that music cuts across diverse cognitive capabilities and resources\, including numeracy\, language\, and space perception.\n\nMike Brooks\, veteran blues guitar player/singer/songwriter from the UK has been playing guitar since the age of 10\, and professionally since the age of 16. His musical career and accolades are many and varied\, but include hitting the UK charts in 1979 (#28 on “the New Wave of British Heavy Metal” despite being a blues band)\, getting a cease and desist order from Walt Disney Corp for using a band name too close to that of a cartoon mouse\, opening for bands such as the Yardbirds\, the Animals\, Wishbone Ash and Nine Below Zero\, and playing in some of the most famous venues anywhere such as London’s Marquee\, and\, well\, The Ark! In addition to leading BLUESHOUSE and fronting the Brain Plasticity Ukulele Collective\, he also works with Ann Arbor’s youth at the Neutral Zone\, a continuation of a youth music project begun in the UK called Electric896\, which taught disengaged youth how to rock the blues.\n\nPlease note early start time!

SUMMARY:Performance:Time Passes: 8 Short Plays by Samuel Beckett
DESCRIPTION:Born in colonized Ireland just after the turn of the twentieth century\, Samuel Beckett wrote about how power works\, and how it works on people -- especially the dispossessed and the destitute. His own experience hiding from the Gestapo in the French countryside surfaces in most famous play\, *Waiting for Godot* (1953). \n\n*Time Passes* presents eight short plays written after *Godot*\, from the late 1950s to the early 1980s. Showcasing Beckett's verbal play and visual precision\, as well as his political imagination\, they meet our own moment -- fierce\, funny\, uncompromising\, and compassionate as ever. \n\nFeatured plays: \n*Act Without Words II*\n*Play* \n*Come and Go*\n*Footfalls*\n*Rockaby*\n*Catastrophe*\n*What Where*\n*Quad*\n\nWritten by Samuel Beckett\n\nDirected by Malcolm Tulip

SUMMARY:Exhibition:2026 Second Year Studio Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAugust 24 - October 18\, 2026\nExhibition Reception: October 1\, 1-2:30 p.m.\n\nIn their second year\, Stamps students complete a major milestone: Second Year Studio (SYS). It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" \n\nStamps Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator Sally Clegg notes\, \"Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now?\" At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. The pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path: experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\n\nAs Course Coordinator\, Stamps Assistant Professor Pedram Baldari both teaches and works directly with all the faculty overseeing each section to collaboratively support the entire class. He offers this reflection on the diverse collection of work on view in this year’s exhibition.\n\nThese works engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\nSYS is intentionally structured around a different learning model than project-based courses. Rather than responding to predetermined assignments\, students identify their own questions and spend an entire semester developing them through research\, experimentation\, critique\, and multiple iterations. The emphasis is not on arriving quickly at a resolved outcome\, but on cultivating the capacity to work independently\, remain responsive to new discoveries\, and allow the project itself to evolve through sustained engagement.\n\nAs a result\, the exhibition presents more than a collection of finished works. It documents different ways of investigating\, testing\, and refining ideas. Some students advance through material experimentation\, others through drawing\, installation\, performance\, digital media\, social engagement\, or speculative approaches. Each project reflects a distinct methodology that has developed through repeated cycles of making\, reflection\, critique\, and revision. In a sense\, the dialectical process generated by the nature of this course is the most significant thread connecting this year’s exhibition. It marks a point at which students begin moving beyond solving assignments toward constructing independent practices\, developing the habits of inquiry\, critical reflection\, and experimentation that will continue to shape their work well beyond SYS.\n\n\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n<ul class=\"twocol\">\n\nNailah Aguilar\n\nAkylah Archer\n\nZachary Berenbaum\n\nSamantha Blaine\n\nLauren Boyce\n\nKas Brajkovic\n\nAnna Browne\n\nLilah Chow\n\nIsabella Cortes\n\nMagdalena Dimovski\n\nLeah Elliott\n\nAya Fadlelzebair\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Camille Ann Brewer\, MFA\, MLIS
DESCRIPTION:Camille Ann Brewer lives and works in the City of Detroit\, Michigan.  Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work.  \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space.  In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Photo Exhibition. This is the Place
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time  between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Comics Beyond Sight
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit covers a variety of creative approaches to comics visual accessibility\, and by extension visual accessibility broadly. Those approaches range from multimedia (audio and textual descriptions) through multidimensional and emerging technologies strategies (3D printing\, haptics\, and screen-based mobile touch interfaces). It demonstrates that comics can be made accessible. Learn about the international efforts of innovators in the realm of comics accessibility for those who are blind or have low vision\, assembled by the Accessible Comics Collective at San Francisco State University (SFSU) with the expertise of blind access professionals. \n\nEmily Beitiks was the accessibility lead for the content creation of the exhibit. She is the co-director for the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center (the first civically funded disability culture center on the planet!)\, and prior to that\, the director of the Longmore Institute on Disability. \n\nNick Sousanis (SFSU)\, the lead creative organizer of the exhibit\, is a Detroit native and was the first person to draw his dissertation in comics format\, subsequently published as the graphic novel Unflattening.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening presentation on Friday\, October 2nd\, 1:00pm - 4:00pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lila Kadaj Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lila Kadaj received her MFA from Wayne State University. Her work has been shown at numerous institutions\, including the Detroit Institute of Arts\, the Cranbrook Art Museum\, and the Arab American National Museum.  She spent nearly 27 years teaching art at Detroit Public schools.\n\nArtist statement: “When looking at a beautiful flower.  It’s just itself.  Just there......no .....it does not proclaim its purpose for blooming is to make people happy. It just is. Like standing in front of an easel and painting........just is.......no matter......what proclamations may be concluded to sway the viewer. Same thing goes for fine art.  It’s not about I am a woman....it’s not about I am a first generation Arab American.....it’s not about being a child of trauma....it’s not about a member of my family being gunned down on the street....it’s about being born a painter.....standing in front of my easel and working to create a \"Piece of Fine Art\". Not standing on some soap box and expecting my words to somehow qualify my painting. It’s the painting\, drawing or sculpture that must speak on its own.......on how the artist......via the intellect and muse uses the elements to create something distinct and first rate.   It can be quiet or loud. I see so much very weak work uplifted not for its quality but because it’s in fashion.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky  portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration.  \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Art Exhibit: Hands on Fire
DESCRIPTION:Jim Cogswell: Hands on Fire\n\n**August 31 to October 9\, 2026**\n**Public Reception: Friday\, September 18\, 4:30 to 6:30 pm**\n\nJim Cogswell’s Hands on Fire is a solo exhibition of mixed media drawings at the Residential College Gallery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The exhibition features sixty works on paper completed between 2024 and 2026.\n\nThis body of work responds to Greek Cypriot filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis’ cinematic adaptations of three tragedies by Euripides dealing with the Trojan War and its aftermath: Electra (1962)\, The Trojan Women (1971)\, and Iphigenia (1977). The work is in close conversation with Vinyl Euripides (2022)\, Cogswell’s adhesive vinyl installation on three floors of the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens\, Greece\, which also responded to the cinematic trilogy. By following Cacoyannis’ adaptations\, Cogswell builds on a cross-cultural history of restaging these tragedies to examine the human suffering caused by war\, imperial overreach\, and abuse of power\; and the dehumanizing consequences of revenge as a course of justice.\n\nWithin each drawing multiple scenes from the three narratives are overlaid within single frames\, suggesting the unseen entanglements that bind these ancient stories into such a persistent vision of our human position.\n\nThe grid of paintings encircling the gallery proposes a linear narrative but delivers instead a sequence that loops and turns on itself\, a stuck frame that stutters until bursting in flames. The grid also evokes the net that is a central feature of the series--the web of fate and circumstance that governs each of our lives\, that determines who we are and what is possible for us at any given moment in history.\n\nThe drawings are also characterized by a repeated motif of hands as consuming flames. Hands have unlimited expressive and narrative potential. They testify to the centrality of making in the development of human cognition. They are reminders of the constructed world and the laborers responsible for bringing it into being. We use hands as a form of communication to shape and express our inner states. Hands teach us to feel and to reason\, to count and to indicate. They give us agency\, as creators but also as destroyers. They give form to our willingness to act in the world\, in greed or compassion.\n\n---\n\n**This exhibition is made possible with funding from the Stamps School of Art & Design and the University of Michigan Office of Research.**\n\nFrom the Artist\n\nI am grateful to the Modern Greek Program in the Department of Classical Studies\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts at the University of Michigan\, for their ongoing support for my research and the dissemination of this project.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Birth Joy
DESCRIPTION:Black Birth Joy by Tiana Lashae documents birth as a deeply personal story of connection\, courage\, tenderness\, and joy. The photographs and stories in the exhibit challenge mainstream narratives that reduce Black birth to statistics and only amplify Black pregnant women's anxiety and hesitancy about navigating the maternal health care system. Instead\, the exhibit offers evidence of joy\, reminders of possibility\, and a visual legacy for generations to come. \n \nBlack Birth Joy was born from Lashae's belief that more positive birth stories of BIPOC families need to be seen and heard\, and her photographs invite viewers to witness the people behind them: the mothers\, babies\, partners\, families\, and birthworkers. They create space for BIPOC families to see themselves represented with dignity and to witness the full range of birth experiences. Lashae's photographs also create a tangible record that can support conversations around quality of medical care\, respectful treatment\, and patient rights. The exhibit empowers women to prioritize and advocate for their birth experiences while also encouraging perinatal health professionals and birthworkers to center the humanity\, dignity\, and individual experiences of patients and families. \n\nThe exhibit comprises over 30 photographs as well as stories of mothers whose births were documented by Lashae\, a doula and birth/newborn photographer whose work has been published in Everyday Birth Magazine\, an international publication. The physical exhibit is accompanied by a virtual component that encourages audiences to engage with each mother's birth story.\n\nThe Lane Hall Exhibit Space is sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) at the University of Michigan. \n\nBlack Birth Joy\nThursday\, October 1\, 2026 – Friday\, January 15\, 2027\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\, 204 S State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\nOpen M–F\, 9AM–5PM

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Faster and More Fun: American Home Cooking in the 1920s
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room to see historical materials that illustrate women’s changing relationship with food\, cooking\, and technology during the heady decade of the 1920s\, sandwiched between WWI and the Great Depression. This exhibit features materials from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, as well as select items from the Art\, Architecture\, and Engineering Special Collections and the Transportation History Collection.\n\nAs America rang in a new decade in the 1920s\, cookbook authors and appliance manufacturers stood ready to offer the newly emancipated and forward-thinking American woman a vision for her future\, a vision that would be scientifically  grounded\, speedy enough to make time for leisure as well as housework\, and guaranteed to bring fun to that most humdrum of chores: planning and preparing meals for a family three times a day\, 365 days a year.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Grand Vision
DESCRIPTION:Visiting artist Olayami Dabls is a storyteller\, curator\, educator\, and mentor. He is the founder of the MBAD African Bead Museum in Detroit. Through material culture\, Dabls presents commentary on the past\, present\, and future from African and African-American perspectives\, with the understanding that generations of African ancestors used visual materials to convey information about their identity as well as send messages for healing and protection. Dabls is a luminary\; for decades he has re-imagined what a museum space can be\, accessible to everyone\, free from the underpinnings of colonialism and the Western\, often white\, frame. *Grand Vision* includes a conceptual installation in the Gallery\, presenting Dabls’s own work in visual conversation with African beads and artifacts from Dabls’s Bead Museum collections. \n\nAdditionally\, Dabls’s iconic outdoor sculpture *Iron Teaching Rocks Table Manners* will be installed on the U-M campus grounds near UMMA\, at the intersection of State Street and South University from September 17- October 11\, 2026. The project’s range intends to more fully articulate the many facets of Dabls’ creative practice\, and the overlay of art\, history\, identity\, community\, and healing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How to Make Revision Count: Revising Practices for Graduate Students
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are moving directly from your undergraduate degree or returning after some time away\, the first term of graduate school will challenge you to expand skills critical to your success. Two of the most essential skills needed to thrive are reading and writing. This four-part Rackham/Sweetland workshop series will showcase reading and writing practices for new graduate students that will inform your approaches to reading and writing through the course of your graduate career.\n\nThis workshop will introduce new graduate students to revising practices to advance their academic writing.\n\nThe most critical phase in the writing process is also the most mysterious and least taught. Revision is especially challenging for first-year graduate writers learning to write extended academic arguments. What do academic writers do when they revise their work? How does an early draft become a polished\, publishable article? This workshop will demystify the role of revision in academic writing – to advance and refine our good ideas! – and provide strategies to help you build quality revision into your writing practice. You will expand your revising practices and elevate your writing skills for graduate school.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Regulation Meets Public Infrastructure: Evidence from Environmental Water Policy in China.
DESCRIPTION:Pollution environmental infrastructure often requires collective investment and may be under-provided. We study whether environmental regulation can alleviate this coordination problem in the context of China's South-to-North Water Transfer Project\, which combines stringent water-pollution regulation with large-scale expansion of wastewater treatment plants. Using a spatial difference-in-differences design\, we find that the policy reduced industrial water pollution by 22% while generating only modest and temporary output losses. To understand this pattern\, we develop and estimate a spatial industry equilibrium model in which wastewater treatment plants are endogenous club goods requiring firms to coordinate on shared fixed costs. The model shows that wastewater treatment infrastructure offsets roughly 45% of the output losses associated with regulation while delivering nearly identical emissions reductions. Counterfactual analysis indicates that regulation accounts for roughly one-third of infrastructure construction and partially restores the efficient provision of pollution-control infrastructure by increasing firms' incentives to participate in shared public infrastructure.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistical Learning with Tensors: Compression\, Communication\, and Completion
DESCRIPTION:Many modern statistical and machine learning problems involve parameters that are intrinsically multiway\, including spatiotemporal arrays\, network data\, and weight tensors in large neural networks. Although such objects can always be vectorized\, doing so ignores multilinear structure and can lead to substantially different statistical and computational behavior. Weight tensors from large language models will serve as a motivating example\, illustrating how tensor methods can preserve structural information that is lost under naive vectorization. This talk develops a unified perspective on recent work in tensor-structured learning through three themes: compression\, communication\, and completion. Methodologically\, I will discuss low-rank tensor parameterizations\, rank selection through optimism-based risk analysis\, communication-efficient randomized tensor algorithms\, and structured sampling schemes for tensor completion. A recurring goal is to obtain nonasymptotic guarantees that connect tensor geometry\, statistical error\, computational cost\, and sample or communication complexity with formal guarantees.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 3): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through December 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Southeast Michigan-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 11 - December 11) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 3 \n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nAbhishek Narula\, Compressions \nCompressions is an installation comprised of 416 industrial-grade zip ties\, cinched around the entry pillar of the Stamps Gallery. The pillar measures roughly 110 inches in circumference\, requiring two ties per row to wrap around it\, resulting in 208 rows. The humble zip tie\, typically used to hang and bind other material\, is relegated to its functional properties rendering it unprepossessing and easily dismissed. The zip tie in this installation\, instead serves as an object of aesthetic possibility\, pulling it out of its usual background role to become the work itself. The resulting composition is a proposal to dwell\, to slow down\, and to simply see the pillar.\n\nAbhishek Narula is an artist\, designer\, and educator who works across sculpture\, installation\, sound\, and video. His practice takes the form of interventions\, working with what is already present. He reorients and disrupts objects and sites in order to open up formal possibilities and poetic experiences within the familiar. He is influenced by physical and digital infrastructural systems that sustain modern life and culture. His work treats this ambience itself as raw material for aesthetic inquiry\, exploring themes of labor\, precarity\, temporality and the sublime. Narula earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and his MS/BS in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited at national and international venues such as the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology\, Science Gallery Detroit\, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia\, New Media Caucus (NMC)\, WaveFarm\, The Boulder Public Library\, The Hyde Park Art Center\, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press\, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI)\, International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA)\, among others. He is a Robotics Systems Designer and Lecturer in the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\nNathan Byrne\, Equally To Be Loved\nEqually To Be Loved is an image / object scaled to and installed upon the courtyard pillar of Stamps Gallery. The image is of a spontaneous sculpture made in 2017 during the first day of an artist residency at the Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program. The sculpture was constructed in a storage container studio using 14 discrete objects that were in his studio upon entry. For Byrne\, this work embodies the energy and spirit of a studio at the start of a particularly fecund period of making. This work speaks to the artist’s interest in embodied experience of space\, archival and site responsiveness\, as well as his ongoing engagement with found materials. Byrne considers this project to be a far-flung sequel to his MFA thesis exhibition Equally Empty\, which was shown at Stamps Gallery in 2021. Equally To Be Loved is the second line of the Buddhist mantra from which both titles are derived.\n\nNathan Byrne is an artist / educator / curator currently based in Detroit\, MI. Through spatial and archive responsive projects\, he reimagines\, and explores within frameworks such as language\, the passage of time\, and contemplation. Intrigued by the potential of conveying phenomenal\, transformative\, and emotive states through materiality\, process\, and placement\, he negotiates the pliability of the viewer’s encounters with objects and environments. Byrne holds an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and a BA in Studio Art and Art History from San Francisco State University. He has been a Lecturer at Stamps School of Art & Design since the Fall of 2022. His work is exhibited widely nationally and he is a recipient of the VSC Fellowship at Vermont Studio Center. He has been awarded numerous artist residencies including Anderson Ranch Arts Center\, I-Park\, KHN Center for the Arts\, Prairie Ronde\, Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program\, and Rockland Woods.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Who Counts? A History of Voting in America”
DESCRIPTION:Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted\, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth\, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes\, campaign pins and ribbons\, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets\, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.\n\nAs you look at the items in this exhibit\, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting\, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And\, most of all\, who counted as a voter\, and who did the counting?\n\nOn view September 11-December 22\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Democracy Week | Beacon of Democratic Resilience: Visual Truths and the Legacy of Korea's 5·18 Democratization Movement - A Photographic Archive of the May 1980 People’s Uprising in Korea
DESCRIPTION:Link to the official event poster: \nhttps://myumi.ch/kVdVV\n\nFor parking information\, please visit this link: https://www.dc.umich.edu/about-the-dc/maps-floor-plans-hours/#parking\n\nExhibition Opening Event: \n- When: Friday\, September 18\, 5 pm to 6 pm\n- Where: Duderstadt Center Gallery\n- Open to the public\n- Description: Please join us for the opening of this photo exhibition. The event will feature remarks by the organizers\, the exhibition curators\, one of the featured photojournalists\, and a former Peace Corps volunteer who has stood in solidarity with the people of Gwangju since 1980. Light refreshments are provided. \n\n*Exhibition Description*\nThis photo exhibition features 90 curated images from the UNESCO-inscribed May 18 Archives. Documenting the May 18–27\, 1980 democratization uprising in Gwangju\, South Korea\, the collection captures the shift from peaceful student protests to military violence and unified citizen resistance\, carried out under a complete blackout as civilians and photojournalists risked their lives to photograph atrocities and smuggle film past cordons. Beyond serving as historical artifacts\, these preserved visual truths offer a living blueprint for popular resilience against authoritarianism\, transforming local trauma into a universal defense of human rights. Displaying these records at Michigan bridges 1980 Gwangju with our present moment\, inviting viewers to engage past resistance in the ongoing effort to defend democracy today.\n\n*Exhibition Composition*\nThe exhibit will be composed of a visual narrative comprised of six chronological sections and two additional special sections:\n\n1. Protest (May 5–16\, 1980): \nFollowing the collapse of Park Chung-hee’s military dictatorship in October\, 1979\, Gwangju students and citizens held peaceful rallies for campus autonomy and the end of martial law. Photos from this era show orderly marches and hopeful faces\, capturing a society on the brink of change before the structural contradictions shifted toward state-led violence. \n\n2. Suppression (May 18–19\, 1980): \nA new junta government led by Chun Doo-hwan extended martial law to the entire country on May 17. Students at Chonnam National University protested against the new junta government’s decision. State violence escalated as paratroopers\, who were deployed to Gwangju\, engaged student protesters. Streets became scenes of brutal beatings and kidnappings. Beyond documenting victims\, the images on display in this section serve as primary historical evidence and legal proof of the military's methods and the sudden transformation of citizens into targets of control. \n\n3. Uprising (May 20–21\, 1980): \nThe movement shifted into a popular struggle. Vehicles lined up in Gwangju’s main thoroughfare\, Geumnam-ro. This massive vehicle parade symbolized the people becoming active subjects of resistance. The military was given the order to use live ammunition against civilians. In reaction\, the city became a space of voluntary mobilization and citizens emerged as historical political actors. \n\n4. Resistance (May 22–26\, 1980): \nWhile isolated and cut off from communications\, Gwangju established an autonomous system of self-governance. Photos in this section testify to the efforts made to establish a sense of order based on solidarity—sharing food and donating blood—rather than chaos. The formation of this \"Daedong (Great Unity) Community\" and the visual documentation thereof serve as foundations of democracy in South Korea. \n\n5. Massacre (May 27\, 1980): \nThe uprising was crushed by a dawn military operation. While the armed resistance ended\, the resulting photographs of the aftermath reveal the stark reality of the massacre. These images became the catalyst for future truth-seeking movements and the pursuit of historical justice in South Korea. \n\n6. Mourning: \nScenes of coffins\, portraits\, and silent vigils represent a collective ethical gaze. During this period\, mourning was more than a display of grief\; it was a communal act used to redefine the city’s identity and establish new moral standards for justice.\n\n7. Special Section A: The Photographers\nThis special section highlights the domestic and international photographers who documented the uprising. This includes Korean journalists alongside US journalists Robin Moyer and Norman Thorpe\, French correspondents Patrick Chauvel and François Lochon\, and German cinematographer Jürgen Hinzpeter. Their images transcend simple reporting\, reflecting a moral commitment to record and a historical duty to ensure remembrance. Rather than viewing these photos solely as evidence\, the exhibition reinterprets them through a lens of photographic history—examining their context\, distribution\, and how they transformed raw records into social truth and collective memory.\n\n8. Special Section B: The Peace Corps: Americans Who Helped Gwangju\nWhen Gwangju was isolated under martial law in May 1980\, four American Peace Corps volunteers—Tim Warnberg\, David Lee Dolinger\, Judi Chamberlin\, and Paul Courtright—refused to leave\, choosing instead to assist the wounded\, aid foreign journalists\, and ultimately expose the truth to the world. Those pivotal ten days reshaped their lives into lifelong commitments to human rights\, inspiring decades of memoirs\, academic writings\, and testimonies. Through photographs\, video footage\, and personal records\, this section traces their journey from eyewitnesses to active defenders of human dignity\, inviting us to reflect on what it truly means to take a stand in the face of another’s suffering. \n\nTwo additional events programmed in conjunction with this photo exhibition\n1. Symposium: \n“For Thee and All the World to See: May 18 Gwangju and the Visual Tenacities of South Korean Democracy”\nhttps://myumi.ch/mVdVJ \n\n2. Third Thursday at the Library: \nDemocracy in Motion: The Advancement of Democracy in Korea and the Students at the Frontline\nhttps://myumi.ch/rwdwn \n\nContent Warning: This exhibition contains historical photographs documenting the 1980 Gwangju Democratization Movement\, including graphic depictions of violence\, state military suppression\, injuries\, and grief. Viewer discretion is advised.\n\nThis exhibit is co-sponsored by the May 18 Archives\, Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Department of Political Science\, Center for Emerging Democracies\, Donia Human Rights Center\, Asia Library\, and Duderstadt Center.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Re/Imagining Pre/Colonial Space: (Speculative) Mapping and Layered Methodologies
DESCRIPTION:Mapping\, though putatively about space\, reveals much more about subjectivity and power. To take one example\, British maps of 19th century Lagos Island produced by various imperial agents in the overlapping contexts of colonial expansion\, enslavement\, and war reflect a colonial agenda positing the urban center as blank space. In order to write a history of 19th century Lagos which centers its Indigenous and African inhabitants and their everyday experiences\, Ademide Adelusi-Adeluyi supplements such maps with an embodied “walking cartography” and oral histories of the colonized\, creating rich “speculative maps” of the city. Adelusi-Adeluyi’s scholarship grapples with central spatial-historical questions such as: What arguments do\, or might\, maps make? What revelations do illustrated\, oral\, spatial\, and other kinds of sources provide which the written record does not? How might speculative research methods fill gaps left by power asymmetries exposed in the archival record? What are possible ways to read indigenous history\, movements\, and knowledge in the physical environment? This panel is inspired by the possibilities that arise from such a “social and spatial reading” of “an incomplete and sometimes fragmentary archive\,” in the particular context of pre-colonial or colonial urban history broadly conceived\, including examples of “internal colonization”. \n\nThe Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies welcomes paper submissions from graduate students working on urban history\, architecture\, mapping or spatial studies\, digital humanities\, and/or embodied methodologies. We especially encourage scholarship which centers the perspectives of non-dominant historical actors in creative and critical ways.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar Series> Understanding Vector-Host Interactions to Build Better Gene Therapies
DESCRIPTION:Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors have earned more FDA approvals for in vivo gene therapies than any other viral vector and are a powerhouse laboratory tool for gene expression across biological and biomedical research. Despite more than 50 years of research\, we still lack a sufficient mechanistic understanding of how AAV interacts with host cells to overcome key barriers to safe and accessible clinical use. In this talk\, I will share new insights into AAV biology through the lens of the host cell\, including mechanisms of capsid assembly and cellular processing of delivered DNA\, and how we hope to leverage these processes for therapeutic advantage.

SUMMARY:Presentation:NERS Climate Week Colloquium—Nuclear Technology and National Security: Where Engineering and Policy Intersect
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nNuclear technology has always existed at the intersection of engineering\, public policy\, and national security. Drawing on work across multiple administrations and senior roles at Los Alamos National Laboratory\, the Pentagon\, the White House\, the Department of Energy\, and the private sector\, Dr. Rian Bahran will discuss how technical and policy decisions shape which nuclear technologies move forward and how they are ultimately deployed. Rian will also talk about his move to the private sector and his work at Antares\, which this year became the first privately funded advanced reactor company to achieve criticality with its Mark-0 reactor and has built a substantial order book for terrestrial and space reactor deployments starting with the U.S. military beginning in 2028. He will discuss why engineers\, policymakers\, and investors need to understand one another better\, and what that means for the next generation of nuclear leaders.\n\nBio:\nDr. Rian Bahran is the Chief Nuclear Officer at Antares\, where he leads nuclear operations\, licensing\, government affairs\, and policy\, and drives expansion into new markets. Rian previously served as the DOE Deputy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Reactors\, with prior roles at the White House\, Pentagon\, and Los Alamos. He holds a Ph.D. in nuclear science and engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute\, where his doctoral research was funded by U.S. Naval Reactors in support of the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory Advanced Reactor Program\, and a dual B.S. in nuclear engineering and engineering physics from RPI.\n\nThis special Climate Week colloquium will explore the role of nuclear science\, engineering\, and energy technology in addressing climate and energy challenges.\n\nThe NERS Colloquia Series invites leading researchers\, industry experts\, and thought leaders from across the nuclear engineering and radiological sciences community to share their insights with students\, faculty\, and guests. Covering a wide range of topics—from cutting-edge research and emerging technologies to policy\, education\, and professional development—the weekly talks offer an opportunity to explore current issues and innovations shaping the future of the field.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Reconceiving Merit and Devotion at Work\, with Evidence-Based Illustrations from Academic Careers
DESCRIPTION:Reconceiving Merit and Devotion at Work\, with Evidence-Based Illustrations from Academic Careers\n\nThis paper draws on research to argue that the cultural schema of work devotion – the cognitive\, emotional and moral understanding of work as a calling and an ostensible marker of merit– promises a workplace community and a sense of purpose. These rewards are consistent with the biological propensity for social connections\, which can help protect our physical and mental health. However\, the benefits of work devotion are not equally available to all socio-demographic groups. Further\, the work devotion mandate can feel coercive\, justify overwork\, deplete engagement with family and community\, and lead to moral distress. The paper presents evidence from the exemplar case of academic science to illustrate how small\, locally led changes in the department\, framed as consistent with professional values of merit and devotion\, could allow scholars to benefit more equally from the work devotion schema while also mitigating some of its detriments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A Behavioral Theory of Statistics\, joint with Wolfgang Pesendorfer
DESCRIPTION:We present a deterministic theory of the statistician based on two preferences: the estimation preference describes the statistician’s view of how well input data and models fit together and the prediction preference describes how well predictions and models fit together. Standard assumptions on these preferences\, together with a consistency condition\, imply that the estimation preference has an additively separable representation: the first term is the function representing the prediction preference\, and the second term is a penalty function that depends only on the model. We relate our two- preference statistical theories to existing methods of classical and Bayesian estimation\, identifying common features and show that\, despite diGerences in terminology\, many of these methods are equivalent. By optimizing over models\, we derive the fit between input data and predictions from our statistical theories. We call these derived relationships empirical descriptions and identify necessary and suGicient conditions under which an empirical description is induced by some statistical theory. Finally\, we characterize empirical descriptions that can be interpreted as consequences of a parametrized class of statistical theories of updating. The parametrization includes Bayesian\, maximum likelihood and behavioral updating.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar:  Math and physics at the moiré scale
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Placing a two-dimensional lattice with a small rotation gives rise to almost periodic \"moiré\" patterns on a superlattice scale much larger than the original lattice. We have used the mathematical techniques developed to study waves in inhomogeneous media to identify a regime where the Bistritzer-MacDonald continuum model emerges as the effective dynamics for electrons modeled as wave-packets spectrally concentrated at the monolayer Dirac points of linear dispersion\, up to error that we rigorously estimate. We have shown that this regime is realized in twisted bilayer graphene at the first \"magic\" angle where the group velocity of the wave packet is zero and strongly correlated electronic phases (superconductivity\, Mott insulators\, etc.) have recently been observed.\n\nWe will present recent results that rigorously extend this analysis to account for the effects of structural relaxation and to essentially arbitrary moiré materials such as twisted multilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) or even twisted heterostructures consisting of layers of distinct 2D materials.\n\nContact: Ian Tobasco

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorial invariance for the coefficient of q in Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials
DESCRIPTION:I will describe joint work with Grant Barkley and Thomas Lam in which we study the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture (CIC)\, which asserts that Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials depend only on the combinatorics of Bruhat order. Motivated by the cluster structure on Richardson varieties\, we prove the combinatorial invariance of the coefficient of q in KL polynomials for arbitrary Coxeter groups. We also prove the Gabber-Joseph conjecture for the second-highest Ext group of a pair of Verma modules\, as well as the combinatorial invariance of the dimension of this group.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Out-of-time-ordered Correlators in de Sitter Revisited
DESCRIPTION:We study the 4-point out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC) of scalar fields using the eikonal approximation to gravity around a de Sitter background. We consider de Sitter space in any dimension and any bulk masses of the scalar fields. At tree level we find the maximal Lyapunov exponent of  2 \pi/\beta_{dS}. However\, we describe an IR problem in this calculation at the loop level associated with the vector part of the graviton propagator. Regularizing this divergence leads to the vanishing of all odd powers in Newton's constant in the asymptotic expansion\, so that the leading answer comes with twice the maximal Lyapunov exponent in simple operator configurations. We find that the perturbative OTOC in de Sitter can initially grow\, which is not allowed by the quantum bound on chaos. Interestingly\, we find that this growth is mediated by large diffeomorphisms in the graviton propagator.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:High-Speed Back Emitting VCSEL for AI Scale-up Optical Interconnects
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \n\nHigh bandwidth-density and energy-efficient optical links are required to interconnect accelerators\, memory\, and switches in AI scale-up systems. Back-emitting (BE) vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) are promising for this application because of its two-dimensional (2D) topology facilitating large array\, simultaneous operation using flip-chip addressable architecture. The wavelength of interests ranges from 940- to 1060-nm wavelength regime. In this talk\, we review BE-VCSEL at both wavelengths\, showing their suitability for high-speed multi-mode fiber (MMF) transmission. For the 940-nm BE-VCSEL with a monolithically integrated high-contrast- metalens (HCM) at the back of the substrate to enable high efficiency MMF coupling with a large tolerance. A 106-Gb/s PAM4 link over 30-m OM2 fiber operates below the KP4-FEC threshold was obtained. The 940-nm flip-chip device exhibits an approximately 40-K lower junction temperature than a reference 850-nm top-emitting VCSEL at 9 mA\, supports an open 106-Gb/s PAM4 eye at 110 °C\, and achieves error-free 25-Gb/s NRZ transmission at 140 °C. A 16-channel near-package-optics transmitter provides clear 106-Gb/s PAM4 eyes across all channels\, corresponding to an aggregate capacity of approximately 1.6 Tb/s. For the 1060-nm BE-VCSEL\, we show a 3-dB modulation bandwidth of 43.97-GHz at 7 mA\, limited by instrumentation. The device has a low 0.4-mA threshold current and intensity noise of -149.6 dB/Hz at 7 mA. It further supports 212-Gb/s PAM4 transmission over 30-m OM2 and 50-m OM5 fibers under the stated transmitter and receiver equalization conditions. We believe these results attest to BE-VCSEL array for high-lane-rate\, two-dimensionally scalable optical engines for cost-effective AI scale-up interconnects through conventional MMF over a wide wavelength range between 940~1060 nm.\n\nBio\n\nConnie Chang-Hasnain is Chairperson of Berxel Photonics Co.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Greg Beroza
DESCRIPTION:We have developed deep-learning-based models for tasks involved in seismic monitoring to develop far more comprehensive catalogs of activity than were previously possible\, and have applied them to multiple magmatic systems in diverse settings.  In Mayotte they revealed far more long-period events than were previously known.  In Campi Flegrei they revealed activity of limited depth extent on the ring fault\, and the existence of multiple previously unrecognized faults under the western suburbs of Naples.  In the Santorini-Amorgos Arc they revealed multiple episodes of rapid horizontal and gradual vertical migration.  In each of these cases\, the insights we developed inform hazard assessment.  For Mayotte\, ongoing activity at depth suggests that the magmatic system remains active.  In Campi Flegrei\, the lack of events below 4 km depth suggests that there is no immediate threat of an eruption due to magma transfer from the deeper reservoir.  In the Santorini-Amorgos Arc the lack of events shallower than 8 km suggests dike injection did not approach the surface during the February 2025 crisis.  The combination of the isolated nature of volcano monitoring in local observatories and the limited deployment of deep learning for seismic monitoring\, points to an unmet need for a federated approach to dealing with the threat of eruptions in future volcanic crises.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CANCELED: Freedom Dreaming in Chemistry: Using Afrofuturism to Re-Envision STEM
DESCRIPTION:In 2002\, Dr. Robin D.G. Kelley wrote “Freedom Dreams\,” where he began his book asking two questions: “How do we produce a vision that enables us to see beyond our immediate ordeals?” and\, “How do we transcend bitterness and cynicism and embrace love\, hope\, and an all-encompassing dream of freedom\, especially during these rough times?” Being in dialogue with Dr. Kelley\, this presentation “freedom dreams in Chemistry” by exploring the possibilities and outcomes of using Afrofuturism as a framework to anchor STEM research\, teaching\, learning\, and engagement. Implications for conspirators and co-conspirators in the freedom-dreaming movement are discussed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS 2026 Kavita Datla Memorial Lecture | Minor Cosmopolitanisms: Islam\, Urdu\, and Secularism in Postcolonial India
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/e73ZQ\n\nThis lecture seeks to build upon Kavita Datla’s work by exploring Urdu as a secular language of Islam. It does so by examining the life and intellectual biography of Syed Abid Husain (1896–1978)\, drawing upon his extensive corpus of works – including translations from German into Urdu\, creative literary writings\, and educational and political activism at Jamia Millia Islamia – to paint a portrait of a nationalist Indian Muslim in colonial and postcolonial India. Moving beyond the framework of nationalist history and adopting a global intellectual history approach\, my lecture aims to expand our geographical and conceptual understanding of ideas by mapping what I call the minor cosmopolitanisms of Husain’s intellectual journeys. I argue that Husain’s engagement with both German majoritarian and minority thought worlds offer valuable insights into the minority not merely as a political category but also as an intellectual and ethical one. Ultimately\, I contend that Husain’s life and writings provide unique insight on both the crises facing democracy and the potential for critical secularism and minority thought in an era dominated by majoritarian nationalism.\n\nDr. Razak Khan is a senior research fellow in global history at the Department of History\, Free University\, Berlin. He is part of the European Research Council funded project “Unfamiliar: Family\, Law\, and Democracy in South Asia.” It looks at the intersection of religion\, gender and sexual minorities\, and family law on the issues of marriage\, adoption\, and inheritance. His monograph *Minority Pasts: Locality\, Emotions\, and Belonging in Rampur* was published by (Oxford University Press\, 2022). He also edited the English translation edition of *The Incomparable Festival* (Penguin Random House India\, 2021) and co-edited *Nodes of Translation: Intellectual History between Modern India and Germany* (De Gruyter\, 2024). His second monograph is an intellectual biography of Syed Abid Husain and will be published by Routledge in 2027.\n\nThe lecture is made possible through the generosity of Dr. Kavita Datla's family and friends.\n\nFree and open to the public\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a colloquium presented by Kristine Yu (University of Massachusetts Amhearst) in NQ2435 on Friday\, October 2\, 2026\, from 4-5:30 PM!\n\nTitle: The shifting motivation for prosodic constituents\n\nAbstract: The motivation for introducing prosodic constituents into phonological grammar was originally that doing so recognizes generalizations about the otherwise coincidental distribution of disparate phonological patterns. In a systematic literature review bringing together work from intonational phonology\, prosodic phonology\, and the morphosyntax-phonology interface\, we show that the way linguists think about prosodic constituents has in fact drifted away from their original conception. In fact\, converging phonological patterns play a minimal role in motivating prosodic domains. We then consider how far phonetic perspectives on allophony might bring us back to the original conception of prosodic constituents.\n\n[Joint work with Charlotte Kaiser\, Seung Suk Lee\, and Alessa Farinella]

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology seminar: Invariants from real Heegaard Floer homology
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Introduced by Guth and Manolescu\, real Heegaard Floer homology is an invariant associated to 3-manifolds equipped with an involution. In this talk\, we will see how under certain assumptions\, the real Heegaard Floer homology groups admit an absolute Z/2 grading. We then specialize to double branched covers of links in S^3\, and the Euler characteristic in this case is the Heegaard Floer analogue of Miyazawa’s degree invariant. Once the signs are fixed\, we show that this quantity can be computed inductively using a skein relation. Furthermore\, we show that it can be expressed in terms of the Alexander polynomial of the link.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Under Harriet's Sky
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, in collaboration with the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory at the University of Michigan\, is pleased to present a special evening honoring the visit of Dr. Edda Fields-Black\, acclaimed historian and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in History for her book COMBEE: Harriet Tubman\, the Combahee River Raid\, and Black Freedom during the Civil War. \n\nDr. Fields-Black is also the executive producer and librettist of “Unburied\, Unmourned\, Unmarked: Requiem for Rice\,” a contemporary classical and multimedia symphonic work and the first symphonic work about slavery on rice plantations.  \n\nThis evening aims to combine the two projects by offering attendees the opportunity to view the night sky Harriet Tubman observed in her lifetime while listening to a portion of the symphony. Austin Edmister\, the Observatory’s Assistant Director of Astronomy\, will offer presentations about the night sky and celestial phenomena that Harriet would have experienced\, while Benedicte Boisseron\, Chair of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, will provide the context of Harriet’s world from an ecological perspective.\n\nTours of the observatory will run on intervals throughout the evening. The Observatory’s exhibit\, “Fill the Ranks”: The Civil War and the University of Michigan\, will be available for viewing\, and telescope observing will be possible after sunset (weather permitting). \n\n\nOn October 1st at 4 p.m. in the Vandenberg Room of the Michigan League\, Dr. Fields-Black will present the DAAS Zora Neale Hurston Lecture for the Humanities\, participate in a booksigning/reception\, and attend a faculty dinner.

DESCRIPTION:One of the most respected and creatively insatiable musicians performing today\, Bruce Hornsby has continually redefined his sound since his breakthrough album The Way It Is.\n\nFrom chart-topping pop to bluegrass\, jazz\, classical\, and electronica\, the Grammy winner’s genre-crossing career reflects a restless creative spirit. Early success led him to tour with Steve Winwood\, Eurythmics\, and the Grateful Dead\, a group he joined for more than 100 performances over five years. Along the way\, he has influenced artists such as Bon Iver and Ryan Adams and composed music for several of Spike Lee’s films.\n\nHornsby always delivers performances that are spontaneous and electrifying\, and he makes his UMS debut in this concert with The Noisemakers\, featuring material from throughout his storied career in addition to music from his new album\, Indigo Park.

SUMMARY:Performance:Holly Bowling
DESCRIPTION:Cast aside any and all expectations.\n\nSolo pianist Holly Bowling is an artist who repeatedly defies convention\, breaks ceilings\, and eludes simplistic labels\, while bringing virtuosic playing\, emotional immersion\, and a thirst for invention to everything that she does. Acclaimed by Rolling Stone and having jammed with a long list of impressive company (Bob Weir\, Jim James\, Warren Haynes\, John Scofield\, Branford Marsalis\, and many more)\, Holly has established herself as a virtuoso pianist with her own musical voice. \n\nHolly has fostered a strong sense of identity while musically shapeshifting to the task at hand\, from joining Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh for extended explorations of “Dark Star\,” to recording dance tracks with LP Giobbi. She is a frequent guest of Greensky Bluegrass\, with whom she recorded The Iceland Sessions EP in 2023 as well as appearing on the previous year’s Stress Dreams. Her solo piano arrangements span across genres\, featuring songs from The National and Nine Inch Nails to Phish and the Grateful Dead\, and have been featured in several independent films in addition to opening the door to performances at storied venues from Carnegie Hall to Red Rocks. \n\nIn 2015\, Holly arrived as an exciting outlier on Distillation Of A Dream: The Music Of Phish Reimagined For Solo Piano. A year later\, Better Left Unsung\, her sophomore release featuring the music of the Grateful Dead\, landed in the top 25 of Billboard’s Classical Album Chart.\n\nHolly co-founded improvisational rock outfit Ghost Light in 2018 with JRAD’s Tom Hamilton with whom she also released an instrumental duo album\, Lacuna\, in 2022. \n\nAfter releasing 2020’s Seeking All That’s Still Unsung (a second reimagining of Grateful Dead staples)\, Holly looks to flip the script once more with an upcoming album of original compositions.\n\nFans can count on her musical shapeshifting adventure continuing to cover new ground as she takes listeners with her into the unknown.

SUMMARY:Performance:Time Passes: 8 Short Plays by Samuel Beckett
DESCRIPTION:Born in colonized Ireland just after the turn of the twentieth century\, Samuel Beckett wrote about how power works\, and how it works on people -- especially the dispossessed and the destitute. His own experience hiding from the Gestapo in the French countryside surfaces in most famous play\, *Waiting for Godot* (1953). \n\n*Time Passes* presents eight short plays written after *Godot*\, from the late 1950s to the early 1980s. Showcasing Beckett's verbal play and visual precision\, as well as his political imagination\, they meet our own moment -- fierce\, funny\, uncompromising\, and compassionate as ever. \n\nFeatured plays: \n*Act Without Words II*\n*Play* \n*Come and Go*\n*Footfalls*\n*Rockaby*\n*Catastrophe*\n*What Where*\n*Quad*\n\nWritten by Samuel Beckett\n\nDirected by Malcolm Tulip

SUMMARY:Exhibition:2026 Second Year Studio Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nAugust 24 - October 18\, 2026\nExhibition Reception: October 1\, 1-2:30 p.m.\n\nIn their second year\, Stamps students complete a major milestone: Second Year Studio (SYS). It’s a course where\, per the syllabus\, students \"develop the capacity to work independently by identifying\, exploring\, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.\" \n\nStamps Lecturer & Student Exhibitions Coordinator Sally Clegg notes\, \"Each student takes their own path\, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice—how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now?\" At the end of the semester\, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review\, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \n\nInstalled throughout the Art & Architecture Building\, the Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases the art and design work created in this pivotal course by our rising third-year and transfer students\, and invites first-year students and other newcomers to explore both the building and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 50 students who have volunteered to participate\, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. The pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker’s path: experiments in previously unfamiliar methods\, emergent passions\, creative risks taken\, iterations and reiterations\, and the seeds of so much future work.\n\nAs Course Coordinator\, Stamps Assistant Professor Pedram Baldari both teaches and works directly with all the faculty overseeing each section to collaboratively support the entire class. He offers this reflection on the diverse collection of work on view in this year’s exhibition.\n\nThese works engage a wide range of questions and concerns. Students investigate memory\, identity\, materiality\, ecology\, technology\, labor\, social relationships\, and the built environment through equally diverse formal approaches. While these subjects recur across the exhibition\, what stands out most is not a dominant thematic direction\, but a shared commitment to sustained inquiry.\n\nSYS is intentionally structured around a different learning model than project-based courses. Rather than responding to predetermined assignments\, students identify their own questions and spend an entire semester developing them through research\, experimentation\, critique\, and multiple iterations. The emphasis is not on arriving quickly at a resolved outcome\, but on cultivating the capacity to work independently\, remain responsive to new discoveries\, and allow the project itself to evolve through sustained engagement.\n\nAs a result\, the exhibition presents more than a collection of finished works. It documents different ways of investigating\, testing\, and refining ideas. Some students advance through material experimentation\, others through drawing\, installation\, performance\, digital media\, social engagement\, or speculative approaches. Each project reflects a distinct methodology that has developed through repeated cycles of making\, reflection\, critique\, and revision. In a sense\, the dialectical process generated by the nature of this course is the most significant thread connecting this year’s exhibition. It marks a point at which students begin moving beyond solving assignments toward constructing independent practices\, developing the habits of inquiry\, critical reflection\, and experimentation that will continue to shape their work well beyond SYS.\n\n\n\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n<ul class=\"twocol\">\n\nNailah Aguilar\n\nAkylah Archer\n\nZachary Berenbaum\n\nSamantha Blaine\n\nLauren Boyce\n\nKas Brajkovic\n\nAnna Browne\n\nLilah Chow\n\nIsabella Cortes\n\nMagdalena Dimovski\n\nLeah Elliott\n\nAya Fadlelzebair\n\nM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Comics Beyond Sight
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit covers a variety of creative approaches to comics visual accessibility\, and by extension visual accessibility broadly. Those approaches range from multimedia (audio and textual descriptions) through multidimensional and emerging technologies strategies (3D printing\, haptics\, and screen-based mobile touch interfaces). It demonstrates that comics can be made accessible. Learn about the international efforts of innovators in the realm of comics accessibility for those who are blind or have low vision\, assembled by the Accessible Comics Collective at San Francisco State University (SFSU) with the expertise of blind access professionals. \n\nEmily Beitiks was the accessibility lead for the content creation of the exhibit. She is the co-director for the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center (the first civically funded disability culture center on the planet!)\, and prior to that\, the director of the Longmore Institute on Disability. \n\nNick Sousanis (SFSU)\, the lead creative organizer of the exhibit\, is a Detroit native and was the first person to draw his dissertation in comics format\, subsequently published as the graphic novel Unflattening.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening presentation on Friday\, October 2nd\, 1:00pm - 4:00pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps\, Campus Traditions\, and the Women Who Made Them
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of the iconic 1926 “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map by exploring the colorful history\, campus traditions\, and detailed artistry that made it possible. Created by Jessie Horton Koessler (Class of 1901) to help fund the Michigan League building for women\, this celebrated map provides a fascinating view into 1920s campus life and the women who shaped it. Through three distinct exhibit sections\, journey from the campus history that led to the map’s creation to a broader look at early 20th-century pictorial mapmaking.\n\nWhile enjoying the exhibit\, pick up a scavenger hunt at the Clark Library desk that will inspire you to notice whimsical details in the maps discussed. Return your scavenger hunt at the desk for a small prize\, while supplies last.\n\nJoin the curators — Ava Pustulka (’28) and Anna Rohl\, map curator at Clark Library — for a presentation on September 24 (https://myumi.ch/X8y3r)\, where they will share the research that went into creating the exhibit.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Faster and More Fun: American Home Cooking in the 1920s
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room to see historical materials that illustrate women’s changing relationship with food\, cooking\, and technology during the heady decade of the 1920s\, sandwiched between WWI and the Great Depression. This exhibit features materials from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive\, as well as select items from the Art\, Architecture\, and Engineering Special Collections and the Transportation History Collection.\n\nAs America rang in a new decade in the 1920s\, cookbook authors and appliance manufacturers stood ready to offer the newly emancipated and forward-thinking American woman a vision for her future\, a vision that would be scientifically  grounded\, speedy enough to make time for leisure as well as housework\, and guaranteed to bring fun to that most humdrum of chores: planning and preparing meals for a family three times a day\, 365 days a year.

DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Lecture: Join us in Weiser Hall in person (Rooms 170 and 182) or stream live: https://myumi.ch/ykmrd\n\nFrom exercise habits to trust in science\, so much of what we know about  \"the public\" comes from surveys. Are surveys always a reflection of people's \"true\" preferences? And\, why does it seem like surveys often get it wrong? This presentation considers how seemingly small survey design decisions can have big consequences when measuring public opinion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 3): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through December 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Southeast Michigan-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 11 - December 11) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 3 \n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Abhishek Narula (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Nathan Byrne (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nAbhishek Narula\, Compressions \nCompressions is an installation comprised of 416 industrial-grade zip ties\, cinched around the entry pillar of the Stamps Gallery. The pillar measures roughly 110 inches in circumference\, requiring two ties per row to wrap around it\, resulting in 208 rows. The humble zip tie\, typically used to hang and bind other material\, is relegated to its functional properties rendering it unprepossessing and easily dismissed. The zip tie in this installation\, instead serves as an object of aesthetic possibility\, pulling it out of its usual background role to become the work itself. The resulting composition is a proposal to dwell\, to slow down\, and to simply see the pillar.\n\nAbhishek Narula is an artist\, designer\, and educator who works across sculpture\, installation\, sound\, and video. His practice takes the form of interventions\, working with what is already present. He reorients and disrupts objects and sites in order to open up formal possibilities and poetic experiences within the familiar. He is influenced by physical and digital infrastructural systems that sustain modern life and culture. His work treats this ambience itself as raw material for aesthetic inquiry\, exploring themes of labor\, precarity\, temporality and the sublime. Narula earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and his MS/BS in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His work has been exhibited at national and international venues such as the Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology\, Science Gallery Detroit\, Speculum Artium Media Festival in Slovenia\, New Media Caucus (NMC)\, WaveFarm\, The Boulder Public Library\, The Hyde Park Art Center\, Sector 2337 Art Gallery & Printing Press\, Tangible Embedded Interaction (TEI)\, International Symposium of Electronic Arts (ISEA)\, among others. He is a Robotics Systems Designer and Lecturer in the Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\nNathan Byrne\, Equally To Be Loved\nEqually To Be Loved is an image / object scaled to and installed upon the courtyard pillar of Stamps Gallery. The image is of a spontaneous sculpture made in 2017 during the first day of an artist residency at the Recology San Francisco A.I.R. Program. The sculpture was constructed in a storage container studio using 14 discrete objects that were in his studio upon entry. For Byrne\, this work embodies the energy and spirit of a studio at the start of a particularly fecund period of making. This work speaks to the artist’s interest in embodied experience of space\, archival and site responsiveness\, as well as his ongoing engagement with found materials. Byrne considers this project to be a far-flung sequel to his MFA thesis exhibition Equally Empty\, which was shown at Stamps Gallery in 2021. Equally To Be Loved is the second line of the Buddhist mantra from which both titles are derived.\n\nNathan Byrne is an artist / educator / curator currently based in Detroit\, MI. Through spatial and archive responsive projects\, he reimagines\, and explores within frameworks such as language\, the passage of time\, and contemplation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n\nPresented with support from the U-M Institute for Humanities\, the U-M LSA Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and the U-M Library.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Vijay Gupta Violin Master Class
DESCRIPTION:Guest artist Vijay Gupta presents a violin master class. This event gives SMTD students an opportunity to work with an esteemed performer and musical advocate\, while gleaning insights from his experiences as a soloist\, orchestral musician\, writer and public speaker.\n\nPresented with generous support from the Sally Fleming Master Class Series. Free and open to the public.\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nVIJAY GUPTA is an acclaimed violinist and inspired storyteller who explores the human condition through music. Vijay has had many chapters to his career: as a child prodigy\, he debuted Carnegie Hall at age 8\, made his international solo debut with the Israel Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta at age 11\, and became the youngest violinist ever to join the Los Angeles Philharmonic at age 19.\n\nIn 2011\, Gupta founded  Street Symphony\, the nonprofit that brings live music into shelters\, clinics\, county jails\, state hospitals\, and reentry programs across Los Angeles. Over fifteen years\, Street Symphony has delivered more than 3\,000 performances and workshops. *The New Yorker* called it \"a formidable new model for how musical institutions should engage with the world around them.\" In 2018\, Vijay received the MacArthur Fellowship and was listed on *TIME*'s 100 Next list.  \n\nIn addition to his work with Street Symphony\, Gupta performs as a soloist and as a founding member of the Darshan Piano Trio. He holds degrees in biology and violin performance and completed graduate study at the Yale School of Music. His three TED Talks have reached millions of viewers. As a speaker represented by the Lavin Agency\, he has addressed audiences at the Aspen Institute\, Mayo Clinic\, Harvard Business School\, the American Medical Association\, and the U.S. Psychiatric Congress\, among others. \n\nVijay’s new memoir *Restrung* tells his story from his earliest memories\, to his burnout and collapse of being a classical musician\, to transformation through music. It was published by Grand Central / Da Capo on June 9\, 2026. *The Los Angeles Times* has called his playing \"brilliant\, bold and gripping\,\" and *Publishers Weekly* writes that his memoir *Restrung* illustrates how music \"reaches the broken places within us and the broken places between us\" — \"a virtuoso performance.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:UMS presents Shamel Pitts | TRIBE
DESCRIPTION:After the jaw-dropping 2025 presentation of BLACK HOLE\, Shamel Pitts | TRIBE returns with its newest multidisciplinary dance work\, Marks of RED.\n\nA work of magical realism narrated by and featuring the viewpoints of six women\, Marks of RED is an Afrofuturistic meditation that explores the effect that memory has on our experiences\, senses\, bodies\, reality\, and imaginative possibilities.\n\nAnchored in the distinctive Gaga movement style in which Pitts was trained (he danced with Batsheva Dance Company for seven years)\, the work draws inspiration from sumo wrestling\, butoh dance\, and techno music\, molding ritual\, movement\, and sound into a rumination on Black embodiment. The multidisciplinary piece explores the deep complexity of self-expression and is the fourth installment of Shamel Pitts’ RED Series.\n\n“I know I’ve just witnessed a beautiful work when I leave the theater full of questions\; but more so when I leave the theater with answers and clarity.” (Dance Currents)

SUMMARY:Performance:Susan Werner
DESCRIPTION:“Vulnerability has rarely been so witty or concise in modern song.” –Boston Herald\n\nOver the course of her twenty five year career\, Susan Werner has earned a reputation as “one of the most innovative songwriters working today” (Chicago Tribune). With formidable chops on guitar (she began playing at age 5) and piano (she was a guest on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz)\, along with a graduate degree in voice performance\, her shows are a one-woman master class in musicianship. Although best known as an acoustic songwriter that came up through coffeehouses and folk festivals\, the Chicago-based artist has written songs in the style of Gershwin and Cole Porter (I Can’t Be New\, 2004)\, gospel music (The Gospel Truth\, 2007)\, traditional Cuban “son” (An American In Havana\, 2016)\, and New Orleans junk piano (NOLA\, 2019). In 2014 she composed the music and lyrics to the musical theater score Bull Durham\, The Musical (MGM). Her songs have been recorded by Tom Jones\, Michael Feinstein\, and Shemekia Copeland\, and her latest recording of originals\, The Birds of Florida\, took flight in 2022.

SUMMARY:Performance:Time Passes: 8 Short Plays by Samuel Beckett
DESCRIPTION:Born in colonized Ireland just after the turn of the twentieth century\, Samuel Beckett wrote about how power works\, and how it works on people -- especially the dispossessed and the destitute. His own experience hiding from the Gestapo in the French countryside surfaces in most famous play\, *Waiting for Godot* (1953). \n\n*Time Passes* presents eight short plays written after *Godot*\, from the late 1950s to the early 1980s. Showcasing Beckett's verbal play and visual precision\, as well as his political imagination\, they meet our own moment -- fierce\, funny\, uncompromising\, and compassionate as ever. \n\nFeatured plays: \n*Act Without Words II*\n*Play* \n*Come and Go*\n*Footfalls*\n*Rockaby*\n*Catastrophe*\n*What Where*\n*Quad*\n\nWritten by Samuel Beckett\n\nDirected by Malcolm Tulip

DESCRIPTION:Jazz influenced indie pop\n\nOn the night of the Fourth of July\, fireworks over Mei Semones' Brooklyn block were competing with something more primal. Up and down the street\, dogs answered each burst with a long\, ragged howl of their own. Semones\, alone in her apartment with her guitar while the rest of the city celebrated outside\, found she didn't mind the solitude. The howling struck her less as a cry for help than as a kind of greeting: proof that she was never really by herself\, not with music always keeping her company. By morning\, she had the seed of the title track for her sophomore album\, Howl.\n \n\"Sometimes making music feels like howling into the universe\,\" Semones says. \"I make music because I like it\, because it feels instinctual — but it also connects me to people close and far. I like to think of this music as my howl.\"\n \nAt 26\, the Brooklyn-based Japanese American guitarist and singer-songwriter — already named an Artist to Watch by The New York Times and Stereogum\, and Artist You Need to Know by Rolling Stone and The FADER — has developed a sound that brings together jazz\, bossa nova\, samba and grungy math rock without treating any of them as separate worlds. Her bilingual songwriting works in much the same way. \n \nGrowing up in Ann Arbor\, Semones began playing piano at age four on an instrument gifted by her Japanese grandmother before picking up electric guitar at 11\, inspired in part by Marty McFly's performance of \"Johnny B. Goode\" in Back to the Future. Semones also spent summers as a child in Yokosuka\, Japan — where her grandmother lived — attending a local elementary school for two weeks each year and spending long afternoons catching cicadas\, playing soccer\, building things with mud\, and searching for rhinoceros beetles. Those unhurried childhood experiences would later shape her 2024 EP\, Kabutomushi\, named after the very beetles she would catch with her school friends in Yokosuka.\n \nIn high school\, she was introduced to jazz through greats like Charlie Parker\, John Coltrane\, Bud Powell\, Thelonious Monk and Wes Montgomery\, and around the same time she discovered bossa nova through João Gilberto's recordings. She later studied music with a focus on guitar at Berklee College of Music.\n  \nHowl\, the second studio album by Mei Semones\, is out on January 15th via Verve/Interscope\n\nMei Semones VIP Experience includes the below: \nA Meet & Greet and photo with Mei Semones\nOne (1) VIP exclusive merch item\nEarly Entry To The Venue\nEarly Access To The Merch Table\nOne (1) GA ticket
