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.

SUMMARY:Performance:Baird Carillon Rededication Recital
DESCRIPTION:Experience the return of the landmark 53-bell Charles Baird Carillon\, which went silent this summer for replacement of the 30 largest clappers as well as a restoration of the great steel frame from which the 43 tons of bells are suspended.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tallest Man on Earth with special guest Gwenifer Raymond
DESCRIPTION:“The Tallest Man on Earth has released some of the best modern folk music of this century. He writes elegant\, homespun ballads that draw you in toward the proverbial campfire.” –GQ\n\nCritics often draw comparisons between The Tallest Man on Earth and Bob Dylan\, citing similarities in both songwriting and vocal style. Matsson himself has acknowledged Dylan's influence\, revealing that he started listening to him at the age of fifteen. Fascinated by Dylan's covers\, he delved into their origins\, which gradually introduced him to early American folk artists like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. However\, Matsson is quick to distance himself from being part of any specific tradition\, stating\, “I don’t want to be part of a tradition. I just want to do what feels natural to me. This is how I play\, and this is how I write songs.”

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: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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

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:Lecture / Discussion:AI Clinic Lab | Productionizing Agentic Workflows: Supervised AI Agents That Actually Ship (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Most agent demos fail in production for the same reason: they’re given autonomy before they’ve earned trust. This session is a practitioner’s look at how a growth agency serving legal\, healthcare and professional-services firms runs AI agents in daily operations\, and why “draft and propose\, humans approve” beats “fully autonomous.” We’ll walk through the real stack: Hermes-based agents with local and cloud models\; a shared company “brain” that gives every agent the same curated context and keeps live systems authoritative\; and a coordination board where agents hand off bounded tasks and flag decisions that belong to a person. You’ll see the guardrails that make it safe: approval gates on anything client-facing\, per-agent credentials scoped to a human owner\, and reviewed pull requests for every change to shared knowledge. Attendees leave with a practical blueprint for deciding what to automate\, what to gate\, and how to expand agent scope without losing control.

SUMMARY:Performance: Austin Zhu\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Economics graduate student Austin Zhu performs on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936\, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Applied Physics | Frontiers for the Dynamical Cores of Weather and Climate Models
DESCRIPTION:Atmospheric dynamical cores numerically represent the resolved fluid motions in weather and climate models and strongly influence their accuracy\, stability\, conservation\, computational efficiency\, and physical fidelity. Using the 2026 FIFA World Cup as an organizing analogy\, I will survey the international landscape of dynamical-core development and the strategic choices underlying atmospheric general circulation models. These choices include governing equation sets\, computational grids and staggering\, vertical coordinates\, numerical methods\, physics–dynamics coupling\, dissipation\, filtering\, and parameter tuning. Model intercomparison projects and hierarchical test suites serve as referees\, exposing numerical artifacts\, grid imprinting\, excessive or insufficient diffusion\, and divergent representations of precipitation and stratospheric circulation. Results demonstrate that seemingly technical design and tuning decisions can substantially alter simulated weather systems and large-scale circulation.\n\nI will also examine emerging frontiers: global convection-allowing simulations at 1–3 km resolution\, adaptive mesh refinement\, nonhydrostatic deep-atmosphere equation sets\, and potentially non-spherical Earth formulations. These advances require scalable\, hardware-agnostic software that exploits graphics processing units and emerging programming frameworks such as C++/Kokkos\, Python\, and JAX. Machine-learning emulators\, artificial-intelligence-assisted development\, efficient data strategies\, and models carrying hundreds of tracers offer additional opportunities. Together\, these developments point toward more accurate\, physically complete\, computationally portable\, and systematically evaluated dynamical cores for next-generation weather\, climate\, and whole-atmosphere prediction.\n\nBio:\nChristiane Jablonowski is a Professor in the Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering at the University of Michigan. She also worked at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)\, NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory\, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Dr. Jablonowski’s research lies at the interface between weather and climate modeling\, scientific computing\, and data science. \n\nHer research portfolio includes atmospheric fluid dynamics\, weather and climate modeling including high-resolution modeling\, climate model hierarchies\, scientific computing\, and machine learning techniques for the climate sciences.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Possibilities and Limitations of Cross-Sector (Housing-Schools) Policies: A Study of the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative in Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Although scholars have long argued that housing policy is education policy (and vice versa)\, efforts that bridge education and housing are rare. Dr. Finnigan will discuss her current study of one of the few cross-sector approaches: the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI) funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Using multiple methods\, including social network analysis\, the longitudinal study explores how CNI is being implemented in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit at multiple levels: the governance structure (or network of agencies and organizations)\; the CNI core components (e.g.\, housing\, people\, neighborhood)\; and the family level (families who originally lived in the housing complex targeted for redevelopment and others in the surrounding area). She'll share details about the early results from this study\, including the complex relationships and network dynamics they have uncovered\, as well as the ways that the research team works closely with community partners in Detroit.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Cin-zs: an entry of the DESC Photo-z Data Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Accurate photometric redshifts are necessary for mapping the three-dimensional structure of the universe\, allowing us to test models of cosmology and galaxy evolution. To prepare for the beginning of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time\, the Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) launched a photometric redshift (photo-z) estimation challenge in spring 2026. At that time\, all existing photo-z estimation methods had a redshift uncertainty larger than limits outlined in the official DESC Science Requirements. In this talk\, I present Cin-zs\, a machine learning-based approach for photo-z estimation submitted by our group as part of this challenge. I report on the performance of our algorithm when applied to Tasksets 1 and 2 and outline possible avenues for improvement when extending to Tasksets 3 and 4.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: Global Perspectives on Culture and Health (Lindsay Kobayashi)
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:Lecture / Discussion:2026 David Noel Freedman Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the 2026 David Noel Freedman Lecture with Dr. Susanne Paulus\, Associate Professor of Assyriology and Curator of the Tablet Collection at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures (ISAC) at the University of Chicago.\n\nMichigan League\, Vandenberg Room\, 2nd Floor\nMonday\, October 26th\, 4 - 6pm\n\nAbstract:\n\nWriting history is telling stories. The stories we tell about ancient economies\, including that of Late Bronze Age Babylonia\, are often shaped by preconceptions about commodities\, credit\, and debt. Drawing on tablets excavated in cities such as Babylon\, Nippur\, and Ur in modern Iraq\, this lecture follows barley through a series of transactions involving taxes\, loans\, investments\, and even two piglets. Barley was both a major food source and an economic staple\, but the documents reveal much more than subsistence. They offer alternative ways of understanding credit\, debt\, and investment in Late Bronze Age Babylonia.\n \nBiography:\n\nSusanne Paulus is an Associate Professor of Assyriology and Curator of the Tablet Collection at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures (ISAC) at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on the social\, legal\, and economic history of Late Bronze Age Babylonia. Her current book project\, Banking with Barley\, supported by the American Council of Learned Societies\, explores credit\, debt\, and economic life in Kassite Babylonia. She is also an epigraphist for the Nippur excavations and is involved in the publication of cuneiform texts from the city of Babylon.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cancelled - Consumption\, Savings\, and Earnings Responses to Financial Windfalls (joint with Rajashri Chakrabarti\, Philippe d’Astous\, Sheisha Kulkarni\, Vyacheslav Mikhed\, Matthew J. Notowidigdo\, Sahil Raina and Barry Scholnick)
DESCRIPTION:This seminar has been cancelled. \n\nWe estimate the causal effects of a financial windfall on consumption\, savings\, and wage earnings using linked administrative data on a large sample of Canadian lottery winners. Using separate linkages of lottery winners to income tax records and credit bureau data\, we estimate how lottery winnings affect consumption measured through credit card spending\, savings through financial asset accumulation and debt repayment\, and wage earnings from tax records. We then examine how these responses vary across the income distribution. We find that high-income individuals allocated a larger share of lottery winnings to savings and leisure\, while low-income individuals spent a larger share on consumption. We illustrate the policy relevance of these heterogeneous responses through three applications: designing fiscal stimulus programs\, evaluating a Universal Basic Income (UBI)\, and determining optimal top tax rates on wage earnings and savings.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combinatorial Exploration of Chord Diagrams
DESCRIPTION:Combinatorial exploration is a relatively recent algorithmic framework for deriving combinatorial specifications\, introduced by Albert\, Baen\, Claesson\, Nadeau\, Pantone\, and Ulfarsson. In this talk\, we will introduce the framework and explore how it can be used to derive generating functions for various classes of chord diagrams. In particular\, we will examine different decomposition strategies and their implementations\, drawing on the work presented in Nabergall’s 2022 thesis.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dynamics Seminar: Automorphisms of the Grand Arc Graph
DESCRIPTION:Mapping class groups of finite-type surfaces have often been studied via their action on various graphs\, whose vertices correspond to homotopy classes of certain arcs or curves on the surface\, with edges between homotopically disjoint arcs or curves. In 2006\, Ivanov posed a ​\"metaconjecture\": every object naturally associated to a surface\, which admits an action of the mapping class group\, with sufficiently rich structure has its group of automorphisms be the mapping class group. This is true for a lot of these arc/curve graphs — in particular\, this means that the combinatorial structure of these graphs perfectly captures the topology of the surface. \n\nIn this talk\, we shall explore Ivanov’s metaconjecture for mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces. We shall focus on the action on “the grand arc graph”\, first introduced by Bar-Natan—Verberne\, which is an infinite-diameter\, hyperbolic graph defined on a large class of infinite-type surfaces.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Analytic approaches to factorization of singular moduli
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In the 1980s\, Gross and Zagier proved factorization formula for norm of difference of singular moduli\, on their way to the Gross-Zagier formula. In that work\, there were two approaches\, one algebraic and one analytic. It turns out that the algebraic approach could produce factorization before taking the norm\, whereas the analytic approach could not. In this talk\, I will report on-going work with Mike Daas\, where we aim to remove the norm through a p-adic analytic approach in the case of Shimura curves.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Long time asymptotics of the generalized soliton gas for the mKdV equation
DESCRIPTION:We analyze a new class of solutions of the modified KdV equation introduced by Dyachenko\, Zakharov\, and Zakharov\, and which can be interpreted as a soliton gas.  These solutions are characterized by a Riemann-Hilbert problem which arises as the limit $N\to \infty$ of a sequence of $2N$-soliton RH problems\, where the solitons display two different triangularity in the jumps. The limiting RH problem belongs to a novel class of problems\, where the jump matrices do not have any zero entry (as opposed to the classical upper/lower triangular setting).\n We show that the initial profile of such a gas solution is approaching a cnoidal wave solution for $x\to \pm \infty$ with different phase shifts\, and we establish an asymptotic description of the gas of solitons for large times that is valid over the entire spatial domain\, in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions\, with slowly modulated phase shifts as time varies from $-\infty$ to $+\infty$.\nThis is a joint work with Ken McLaughlin (Tulane U.) and Robert Jenkins (UCF).\n\n*To request access to the Zoom room\, please contact Nathan Hayford at nhayford [ at ] umich.edu.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Toxic Landscapes: Industrial Chemistry and the Politics of Risk in the Modern World
DESCRIPTION:Industrial capitalism engendered human and animal bodies toxic in myriad and uneven ways. This talk examines the entanglements of public health and the body through the history of carbolic acid. Derived from coal tar production in British industrial factories in the early 19th century\, carbolic acid exploded in use from the 1870s after Joseph Lister’s pioneering use of the chemical in antiseptic surgery. Heralded as the first public health and surgical 'magic bullet'\, chemists and coroners clamored to legislate carbolic acid as a dangerous poison- by 1900 carbolic acid poisonings and suicides were significant causes of death around the Atlantic World. By the early 20th century\, carbolic acid became a common household tool in the fight against germs and in the beauty industry. Looming was the nature of risk. I show how exposure to carbolic acid skin damage and death differentially impacted women and laborers\, particularly in the Global South. Carbolic acid's use in the plastics industry\, and as an insecticide led to a surge in production in the 20th century\, including widespread water and soil pollution. This talk thus explores questions about risk and regulation\, the unequal burdens of toxicity\, and the longue durée invisible health impacts of chemicals.\n\nJacob Steere-Williams\, PhD\, is professor of history and medical humanities at the College of Charleston\, and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. He serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences\, and Editor of the Epidemic Histories book series with Johns Hopkins University Press. His work explores the history of public health\, epidemic disease\, and the environment\, interrogating questions about disease surveillance\, governance\, and everyday scientific practice in Britain\, across the Atlantic World\, and the former British colonies. In addition to dozens of articles and op-eds\, he is the author of the 2020 book The Filth Disease and the 2023 Port Cities of the Atlantic World.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Arts Org Gatherings
DESCRIPTION:The Arts Initiative organizes gatherings throughout the year to bring together student arts org leaders to hear their perspectives\, help build community amongst student arts orgs\, and to help map out the future of U-M’s student arts community. In addition to the Student Arts Org Summit\, The Arts Initiative also hosts smaller gatherings of Student Arts Org leaders\, often around a specific medium or arts practice. These gatherings cultivate interesting conversations about shared needs and help us learn about places the Arts Initiative could provide or advocate for additional support. They also generate ideas and facilitate new contacts between student org leaders themselves.

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: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:Exhibition:Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit\, 2020–2026
DESCRIPTION:Small Works\nPrints & Book Objects from Detroit 2020–2026\n\nOctober 27 - November 19 \nPublic Reception: Friday\, November 13 from 4:30-6pm.\n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze\, in Detroit\, MI\, from 2020–2026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Women in Supply Chain Studies
DESCRIPTION:Supply chains are the backbone of the global economy. While the fragility\, geography\, and organization of global production networks are at the forefront of supply chain discourse\, the people who make and study consumers’ products are often forgotten. Women especially play a critical role in the production of goods and services and global procurement. \nThe Women in Supply Chains (WiSC) Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop (RIW) was created to understand these issues and create a space for graduate students interested in the intersection between gender and supply chains. WiSC researches gender disparities in supply chain scholarship and practice to advance awareness and pursue more equitable outcomes. We seek to bring together an interdisciplinary group to collaborate on topics related to our three research pillars: 1) supply chain discourse and governance\, 2) supply chain gender inequities\, and 3) barriers to equitable supply chain research and practice. Our interdisciplinary approach addresses the intersections of gender\, power asymmetries\, and economic exploitation in global production networks. Recent industry research shows that progress on gender representation in supply chains has stalled\, demonstrating a need for sustained academic engagement.\nResearch questions we plan to explore include:To what extent do supply chain theory and discourse rely on or reinforce patriarchal values?What gender-based inequities and power asymmetries exist in global production networks? How can supply chain stakeholders mitigate these inequities?What barriers do gender-marginalized individuals face as supply chain scholars or practitioners? How can we build community for people who work in supply chains?We plan to hold monthly events (approximately 1 hour) on a consistent day of the week (based on the availability of participants/guest speakers). We also plan to attend and promote events on campus (e.g.\, speakers\, lectures) as they relate to gender and supply chains. Planned events include hands-on activities and treks\, including a book club and a manufacturing site tour. Graduate students from all disciplines and gender identities are invited to attend.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Devil is in the Tail: Macroeconomic Tail Risk Expectations of Firms
DESCRIPTION:This paper examines novel survey evidence on firms’ beliefs about macroeconomic tail risk and their role in investment decisions. In a large survey of firms\, I elicit the subjective probability of a severe macroeconomic downturn and firms’ exposure to such events. Using observational and experimental variation\, I find that a higher probability of a severe macroeconomic downturn substantially lowers investment\, particularly for more exposed firms\, beyond what can be explained by changes in firms’ subjective first and second moments. In a heterogeneous firm model calibrated to the survey evidence\, tail risk concerns make fiscal policy particularly effective for stabilizing investment.

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:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Speakers: Julia Boyle & Marianne Azevedo Silva
DESCRIPTION:Speaker 1: Julia Boyle from Weber lab\n\nTitle: Microbes mediate extrafloral nectary ecology\n\nDescription: Plant-arthropod defense mutualisms involve specialized plant traits that provide food or shelter to arthropods in return for protection against natural enemies\, including herbivores and pathogens. Two examples of such traits are extrafloral nectaries\, plant organs that secrete sugary amino-acid-rich nectar to feed beneficial arthropods\, and leaf domatia\, small structures on the undersides of leaves that shelter predatory and fungivorous mites. Despite their widespread distribution and convergent evolution\, little is known about how domatia and extrafloral nectaries interact with plant microbiomes\, and whether microbes mediate the costs and benefits of these traits. Here\, I combine field observations and manipulative common gardens to demonstrate that both microbes and mites play an underappreciated role in the ecology and evolution of extrafloral nectaries.\n\nSpeaker 2:  Marianne Azevedo Silva from Weber lab\n\nTitle: A Tale of Mutualism Exploitation\, Told Twice: The Science We Present and the Stories We Leave Untold\n\nDescription: In this talk\, I will present a study investigating potential exploitation in one of the most ancient mutualisms between plants and arthropods: the plant–mite mutualism mediated by leaf domatia. Herbivorous eriophyid mites (often referred to as “gall mites”) have long been hypothesized to exploit this mutualism\, yet this hypothesis has remained untested. By combining leaf observations with molecular data\, I investigated whether the gall mite Acalitus ferrugineum acts as an exploiter of the domatia-mediated mutualism in American beech (Fagus grandifolia).\nBut this talk is about more than the scientific findings. I will tell the story of this research twice: first\, as the polished\, seemingly straightforward narrative we typically present at scientific conferences\, and then as the much less predictable journey behind it. From the initial idea to unexpected challenges\, changes in direction\, and the decisions that ultimately shaped our findings\, I will share some of the stories that scientific talks often leave untold.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:How to Teach Appreciative Interviewing
DESCRIPTION:Activities that ask students to conduct interviews\, particularly of community members\, can be a powerful method for helping students research real-world issues and understand diverse perspectives. While interview assignments are common across academic disciplines\, less common is explicit instruction for students on effective techniques for interviewing. How might we prepare our students to effectively build rapport with\, interview\, and collect stories or information from communities?\n\nIn this session\, staff from U-M’s Ginsberg Center will share methods for teaching students skills in appreciative interviewing\, an approach to interviewing that emphasizes interviewee expertise and encourages interviewers to guard against deficit-based thinking. Throughout the session\, we’ll model discussions and activities from Ginsberg Center that you can use to prepare your students for interviewing. In the process\, you’ll have the opportunity to practice skills that will strengthen your own communication with students\, be it in office hours\, classroom instruction\, supervision\, or other contexts.\n\nREGISTER: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/111999

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Metricracy: The Data and Symbolic Politics of a Chinese Social Credit System
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person and virtually on Zoom. If you would like to attend via Zoom\, registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/kVZXk\n\nBased on fieldwork inside one of China's most celebrated social credit systems\, this talk shows what actually happens when a state tries to score the moral lives of its citizens. Far from the all-seeing surveillance machine\, the system runs on data that are selectively collected and routinely fabricated—and even then\, the state struggles to make the score mean anything\, facing constant contestation and reinterpretation. This notorious system\, Dr. Liu will suggest\, is less an authoritarian anomaly than a sharp lens on the contradictions of governing by numbers anywhere.\n\nChuncheng Liu is a sociologist of knowledge and technology who studies the politics of data and classification. An assistant professor of communication and sociology at Northeastern University\, he earned his Ph.D. in sociology and science studies at the University of California\, San Diego\, and was a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research New England. His current research examines the politics of sociotechnical systems that surveil and classify citizens. His work has appeared in journals including *Big Data & Society*\; *Information\, Communication & Society*\; *Social Science & Medicine*\; and *Science\, Technology & Human Values*\, and has been featured in outlets such as The Guardian\, Bloomberg\, and Rest of World.\n\n*Part of the International Institute Theme Year: Sovereignty*\nhttps://myumi.ch/ii-theme

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:OGPS GenAI Essentials - Fall 2026
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI tools are increasingly part of academic\, research\, and professional work\, but using them effectively requires more than knowing how to write a prompt. GenAI Essentials is a practical workshop series designed to help graduate students and postdoctoral scholars make informed\, responsible decisions about when and how to use generative AI.Through interactive sessions and hands-on activities\, participants will examine the capabilities and limitations of GenAI tools\, practice strategies for using AI in writing and communication\, and develop more intentional approaches to prompting and evaluating AI-generated responses.Participants may register for one or more sessions.By the end of the Fall 2026 series\, participants will be able to:Evaluate appropriate uses and limitations of generative AI in academic\, research\, and professional contexts.Identify ethical\, privacy\, academic integrity\, and disclosure considerations that should inform GenAI use.Use GenAI strategically to support revision\, feedback\, and professional communication without outsourcing authorship or judgment.Develop more specific and effective prompts by identifying the characteristics\, goals\, and conventions of the writing they want to produce or improve.If you have any questions\, please reach out Dr. Ioannis Chremos (ichremos@umich.edu)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Between Asante and the Whiteman: Fante and Ga Pressmen and the Racialization of Ethnicity in Gold Coast Newspapers
DESCRIPTION:With the “Hear\, Here” series\, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\nThis talk illuminates the contradictory racial politics of late nineteenth-century African-owned newspapers by analyzing how Fante and Ga pressmen\, who positioned themselves as African defenders of African interests\, deployed racist depictions of the Asante empire in an effort to solicit British protection. This Faustian bargain backfired and when British protection led to colonial conquest\, these same newspapers mobilized race as the primary language of political dissent against British rule.\n\nCarina Ray is a 2026-27 Helmut F. Stern Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Associate Professor\, History.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Precise Connected Automated Vehicle Motion Planning with V2I Passive System: Real-Time Vehicle Deployment and Field Evaluation
DESCRIPTION:This talk will present how pavement-encoded electromagnetic (EM) strips can provide real-time lateral-offset updates that improve closed-loop automated vehicle tracking. The analysis focuses on lateral tracking accuracy\, run-to-run repeatability\, and vehicle-control response on tangent and curved roadway sections. A real-time framework has been developed to detect pavement-encoded EM strips and estimate lateral offset using an onboard magnetometer array. EM estimates were integrated with GPS-based lateral control through event-triggered source switching. Fifty field runs over 36 strip locations yielded 1\,800 run-strip observations for lateral control performance analysis. A linear 10 mixed-effects model was derived that included localization condition\, roadway section\, and their interaction as fixed effects\, with random intercepts for run and strip. Repeatability was assessed using across-run variability and normalized FastDTW distances between lateral-offset profiles.\n---\nAbout the speakers:\nDr. Jeffery Roesler has been conducting research on a variety of transportation infrastructure topics for the past 25 years. His recent research interest involves passive material sensing for vehicle lateral positioning and construction work zone V2I communication\, micro-scale urban heat island and cool surfaces\, roller compacted concrete pavements\, 3D concrete printing for 1-story structures\, and non-contact ultrasonic sensing system for construction monitoring. He has authored/ co-authored more than 275 publications. He is a registered professional engineer in the California and active participant in TRB\, ACI\, and is Past President of the International Society of Concrete Pavements. Dr. Roesler teaches courses in transportation infrastructure\, specifically pavement analysis and design\, concrete materials\, introduction to transportation engineering\, geometric design of roads as well as a senior professional practice class and a first year project-based introduction to CEE course.\n\nDr. Talebpour is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has more than 12 years of experience in teaching\, research\, and consulting in vehicle automation\, connected transportation system\, traffic analysis\, and traffic flow theory. He was leading Texas A&M’s team in SAE/GM AutoDrive Challenge (before joining UIUC)\, a four-year competition to develop a fully (level 4) autonomous vehicle among eight Universities. He is currently leading an FHWA-funded project focusing on trajectory data collection from CAV operations in highway and arterial environments\, “Third Generation Simulation Data (TGSIM)”. He has been working on developing algorithms for vehicle safety and efficiency in a connected and automated driving environment and has developed simulation tools to simultaneously simulate wireless communications and drivers and automated vehicles.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DSI Research Colloquium | The Urban Platform Playbook: Inside the Civic Tech Rewiring City Life
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the smartphone apps that allow you to request a ride\, get food delivered\, or even find a place to stay at the push of a button have become household names. But\, what about an app to fill the pothole on your street\, or monitor the flooding risks of local streams\, or raise funds to spruce up your local park? This talk will present ideas from a manuscript under preparation for a book telling the story of five civic urban platforms that have matured into new urban infrastructures in the United States in the past decade: municipal 311\, city data portals\, civic crowdfunding\, open stormwater\, and the use of crowdsourcing to analyze historical racial exclusion. Although these platforms may use similar technical ingredients as smart cities – such as data\, algorithms\, and interfaces – none aim at creating the automated\, optimized city animating the smart city dream. Instead\, they pursue a different\, more digitally connected city\, where technology is fostering new forms of connection\, resilience\, and civic vitality. The book’s original case studies are developed through interviews with the technologists and public servants who created them\, drawing out both the unique stories of each but also identifying generalizable lessons to inspire the next generation of urban technology. The argument of the book is that digital technology isn’t only for building a utopian automated city\, but instead a new type of city that fosters new forms of connections between citizens\, city government\, and the places they share.\n\nRobert Goodspeed\, PhD\, AICP\, is an Associate Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. He teaches and conducts research in the areas of collaborative planning\, urban analytics\, and scenario planning theory and methods. He is the author of the book Scenario Planning for Cities and Regions: Managing and Envisioning Uncertain Futures\, over 30 articles and book chapters\, and an editor of four edited volumes on urban analytics and smart cities. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP)\, and currently serves as the board chair for Computational Urban Planning and Urban Management (CUPUM)\, a global society that organizes a leading biennial conference.\n\nThis event is in partnership with the Urban Tech Collective (UTC) housed at the University of Michigan’s Digital Studies Institute. UTC convenes U-M faculty and students from various disciplines investigating the imaginaries\, design\, and use of digital technologies within urban everyday life. UTC investigates topics related to physical and digital spaces\; mediated representations of urban space and urban communities\; digital rights and inequalities\; datafication\; urban intelligences\; and social change. The collective meets throughout the academic year to share research\, methodologies\, and best practices for the study of technology and urban life\, to host speakers\, and reimagine the role of urban technology scholarship\, design\, and policy in affecting more equitable\, sustainable futures.\n\nThe DSI Research Colloquium Series is closed to DSI-affiliated faculty and students. We strive to make our events accessible to all participants. If you anticipate needing accommodations or have questions about joining this event\, please contact Eric Mancini at dsi-administration@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Controlling Superconductivity and Topology through Electronic Correlations\, Electron-  Lattice Coupling\, and Interface Engineering
DESCRIPTION:High-temperature superconductivity and topological quantum matter remain among the central challenges in condensed matter physics. Their coexistence offers a promising route toward realizing Majorana zero modes and fault-tolerant quantum technologies. While studies of topological materials and electron-phonon coupling have largely relied on single particle descriptions\, the role of strong electronic correlations remains unresolved. In particular\, it is unclear (i) how correlations modify electron-phonon coupling [1] and lattice dynamics in determining superconducting transition temperatures and (ii) how electron-electron interactions drive topological systems beyond the single-particle limit. \n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss our efforts to address these questions using parameter tuning-free embedded dynamical mean-field theory (eDMFT) [2]. By combining epitaxial thin-film growth\, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)\, and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S). Focusing on FeX (X = Se\, S\, Te) thin films on SrTiO₃ (001)\, we demonstrate a strong dependence of the superconducting transition temperature () on the FeX₄ tetrahedral bond angle\, highlighting the crucial role of lattice geometry in correlated superconductivity [3]. We further present evidence for topological superconductivity and identify a distinct phase that competes with strong electronic correlations[4]. Remarkably\, both the measured superconducting gap and the eDMFT-derived electron-phonon coupling exhibit a dome-shaped dependence on the tetrahedral angle [5]. I will then show how these insights can be extended toward a predictive\, materials-by-design framework for topological superconductivity. Applying a multiscale framework to FeTe₀.₅Se₀.₅ and FeSe/GaAs heterostructures\, we predict multiple topological superconducting phases and identify experimentally viable materials platforms in which topology\, superconductivity\, and strong correlations can be engineered in concert [5\,6]. Together\, these results demonstrate how electronic correlations\, lattice geometry\, and interface engineering can be harnessed to control superconductivity and topology\, providing a pathway toward the rational design of correlated topological quantum materials and future Majorana-based quantum technologies.\n\nReferences:\n[1] S.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Colloquium: How to achieve quantum advantage?
DESCRIPTION:The development of error-corrected quantum computers raises the prospect of quantum advantages in scientific computation. Which problems are likely to benefit\, and what will it take to realize these advantages? I will first discuss basic quantum algorithm concepts and some criteria for comparing quantum and classical computation. I will then focus on eigenvalue problems\, where improving the precision of an approximate solution offers one possible route to quantum advantage. Recent advances allow quantum eigensolvers to use few auxiliary qubits and short coherent evolutions\, with near-optimal dependence on the target precision. I will introduce these developments and a method for estimating multiple eigenvalues together with their multiplicities. Most of the presentation is intended to be accessible to a broad mathematical audience without prior background in quantum computation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Robotics Department Seminar Series: Language and Robots: Space\, Time\, and Common Ground
DESCRIPTION:Robotics Department Seminar Series (https://robotics.umich.edu/events/robotics-seminar-series/)\nSpeaker: Joyce Y. Chai\, Professor of Computer Science and Engineering\, University of Michigan\nTitle: \"Language and Robots: Space\, Time\, and Common Ground\"\nDate: Tuesday\, October 27\, 2026\nTime: 4:00 - 5:00pm ET\nLocation: FRB 2300 + Zoom\nZoom Link: https://myumi.ch/Mp1x3\nMeeting ID: 961 2563 2448\nPasscode: 639024\n\nAbstract: Language plays a fundamental role in embodied AI\, serving not only as a means of communication between humans and robots\, but also as a powerful tool for representing knowledge\, reasoning about the world\, and guiding actions. While space and time have always been central to robotics\, language introduces new opportunities and challenges in how robots represent\, reason about\, and interact with the physical world. In this talk\, I will revisit some of the enduring challenges at the intersection of language and robotics through three interconnected dimensions: space\, time\, and common ground. For space\, I will discuss grounding language in the 3D world\, including reasoning across different spatial perspectives. For time\, I will explore how language supports learning about actions\, causal relationships\, and past experiences to enable long-horizon planning. For common ground\, I will examine how language enables humans and robots to establish\, maintain\, and repair shared understanding of their environment\, goals\, and intentions. Drawing on past and recent work\, I will take stock of where we stand and reflect on the challenges and opportunities.  \n\nSpeaker Bio: Joyce Chai is a Professor in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. Her research interests span from natural language processing and embodied AI to human-AI collaboration. She is fascinated by how experience with the physical world and social interaction shape language learning and language use\; and is excited about situated language processing that is sensorimotor-grounded\, pragmatically-rich\, and cognitively-motivated. Her recent work explores the intersection of language\, vision\, and action to enable situated communication with embodied agents.  She is a recipient of the NSF Career Award\, and multiple awards with her students (e.g.\, Best Long Paper Award at ACL 2010\, Outstanding Paper Awards at EMNLP 2021 and ACL 2023\, and First Place in the Amazon Alexa AI Simbot Challenge 2023). She is a Fellow of ACL.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Transition Metal Catalyzed Alkylation and Alkenylation of Olefins: New Molecular Catalysts and the Role of Lewis Acidic Oxidants
DESCRIPTION:The selective catalytic functionalization of C–H bonds of hydrocarbons remains one of the foremost challenges facing synthetic chemists. For example\, alkyl and alkenyl arenes are produced on a scale of billions of pounds per year. Current commercial catalysts (e.g.\, Friedel-Crafts or zeolites catalysts) for arene alkylation are based on acid-mediated olefin activation. New catalysts that operate by a distinct reaction pathway that involves transition metal-mediated C–H activation followed by olefin insertion into metal-aryl bonds offer potential advantages. The presentation will focus on the development and study of new transition metal catalysts for arene alkylation and alkenylation based on molecular complexes of Ru\, Rh\, Pd and Pt with an emphasis on the unexpected role of Cu(II) carboxylates that are used as oxidant.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Visualizing Care: Storytelling as Data Visualization at MohenjoDaro
DESCRIPTION:Set in the World Heritage Site of MohenjoDaro (Sindh\, Pakistan)\, Visualizing Care approaches archaeological data visualization through deep mapping. Experimenting with multimodal and accessible forms of archaeological data presentation\, this study explores how care through time can be documented. Within an archaeological context\, the materiality of care can be seen through the intentional making/unmaking of urban design\, architectural features\, and infrastructure. Within a historical and contemporary framework\, care can be visualized through conservation and the relationships between caretakers and the site itself\, drawing attention to the affective aspects of archaeological research. This transdisciplinary project utilizes archival material\, LiDAR and 3-dimensional artifact captures\, ethnographic conversations\, GIS mapping\, sound\, and experiments with mudbrick\, to explore the many different ways of knowing the ancient city of MohenjoDaro.\n\n\nUzma Z. Rizvi is Professor of Anthropology and Urban Studies\, in the Department of Social Science and Cultural Studies\, Pratt Institute\, Brooklyn\, NY. She is also a visiting faculty at Shah Abdul Latif University in Khairpur\, Pakistan. Dr. Rizvi’s work intentionally interweaves archaeology with cultural criticism\, philosophy\, critical theory\, art\, and design. With over two decades of work on decolonizing methodologies\, intersectional and feminist strategies\, and transdisciplinary approaches\, her work has intentionally pushed disciplinary limits\, and demanded ethical decolonial praxis at all levels of engagement\, from teaching to research. She is the PI of the Laboratory for Integrated Archaeological Visualization and Heritage (liavh.org)\, currently working at the 3rd millennium BCE world heritage site of MohenjoDaro\, Pakistan.\n\nThe lecture begins at 4PM EST\, in person at the Kelsey Museum (Room 125). Reception to follow at 5:30PM. \n\nIf you are unable to attend in person\, you may view the lecture via zoom by registering here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Kai9ybzNSoGPYxwjs6lAyQ#/registration

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Visualizing Care: Storytelling as Data Visualization at MohenjoDaro
DESCRIPTION:Set in the World Heritage Site of MohenjoDaro (Sindh\, Pakistan)\, Visualizing Care approaches archaeological data visualization through deep mapping. Experimenting with multimodal and accessible forms of archaeological data presentation\, this study explores how care through time can be documented. Within an archaeological context\, the materiality of care can be seen through the intentional making/unmaking of urban design\, architectural features\, and infrastructure. Within a historical and contemporary framework\, care can be visualized through conservation and the relationships between caretakers and the site itself\, drawing attention to the affective aspects of archaeological research. This transdisciplinary project utilizes archival material\, LiDAR and 3-dimensional artifact captures\, ethnographic conversations\, GIS mapping\, sound\, and experiments with mudbrick\, to explore the many different ways of knowing the ancient city of MohenjoDaro.\n\n\nUzma Z. Rizvi is Professor of Anthropology and Urban Studies\, in the Department of Social Science and Cultural Studies\, Pratt Institute\, Brooklyn\, NY. She is also a visiting faculty at Shah Abdul Latif University in Khairpur\, Pakistan. Dr. Rizvi’s work intentionally interweaves archaeology with cultural criticism\, philosophy\, critical theory\, art\, and design. With over two decades of work on decolonizing methodologies\, intersectional and feminist strategies\, and transdisciplinary approaches\, her work has intentionally pushed disciplinary limits\, and demanded ethical decolonial praxis at all levels of engagement\, from teaching to research. She is the PI of the Laboratory for Integrated Archaeological Visualization and Heritage (liavh.org)\, currently working at the 3rd millennium BCE world heritage site of MohenjoDaro\, Pakistan.\n\nThe lecture begins at 4PM EST\, in person at the Kelsey Museum (Room 125). Reception to follow at 5:30PM. \n\nIf you are unable to attend in person\, you may view the lecture via zoom by registering here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Kai9ybzNSoGPYxwjs6lAyQ#/registration

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Whose City? Street Art and the Performance of Belonging in Tbilisi\, Georgia
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Vandenberg Room (2nd floor) at the Michigan League for a presentation by Greta Uehling\, a 2025-26 Faculty Fellow with the Center for World Performance Studies (CWPS).\n\nStreet art is often understood as a form of cultural resistance in politically constrained societies like Georgia. Professor Greta Uehling will draw on ethnographic fieldwork in Tbilisi\, including interviews with artists\, activists\, and viewers supported to explore the forces that complicate its communicative potential. Uehling extends a Barthian approach that foregrounds the reception of street art and the contested meanings that emerge around it. In this talk\, she will explore the state’s appropriation of street-art aesthetics through government-sponsored projects\, as well as private citizens’ power to veto murals on their buildings. She will then turn to gender as a contested terrain where Georgia’s European aspirations meet enduring social norms. This research was supported by a Faculty Fellowship from the Center for World Performance Studies.\n\nPresented by the Center for World Performance Studies with support from the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.\n\nFACULTY BIO\n\nGreta Uehling’s scholarship is broadly concerned with international migration and forced displacement. Major projects have examined the experiences of refugees\, asylum seekers\, and the internally displaced. Her current project explores the subjective experience of military conflict and forced displacement in Ukraine. Based on ethnographic fieldwork\, she documents how the military conflict reconfigured social worlds and how these social worlds became the site of a different\, everyday kind of war.\n\nPrior to teaching in the Program on International and Comparatives Studies\, Uehling consulted with a number of international organizations including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees\, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe\, and the Watson Institute at Brown University.\n\nUehling holds a PhD in cultural anthropology from the University of Michigan. In 2004\, she completed a post-doctoral fellowship with the Solomon Asch Center for the Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict at the University of Pennsylvania. Her first book is *Beyond Memory: The Deportation and Repatriation of the Crimean Tatars*. Her forthcoming book is *Everyday War: The Conflict over Donbas\, Ukraine*. She is also the author of numerous scholarly articles and book chapters.\n\nExpert Advisory: Dr. Uehling is an expert on Ukraine and can discuss the war in Ukraine and its implications.\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.*

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Performance:PRISM Quartet with Andrew Bishop
DESCRIPTION:The award-winning PRISM Quartet performs a program of music by Roshanne Etezady\, Kristin Kuster\, Bill Ryan\, Bright Sheng\, Chris Potter\, and Don Byron. SMTD Professor Andrew Bishop will join the group as a guest artist. \n\nPRISM Quartet presents a program that travels from the factory floor to a pine forest and from Hollywood to China. Four of the works were commissioned by PRISM\, including Roshanne Etezady's *Inkling*\, a one-minute vignette written in 2004 for the ensemble's twentieth anniversary. As its title suggests\, it offers the merest hint of an idea\, and its clouds of sound showcase PRISM's flexibility and color. Don Byron's new *Quartet for Saxophones* is a fearless homage to classic film scores of the '50s and '60s\, from the title-sequence swagger of \"Saul Bass\" to a closing \"Fandango.\" Bright Sheng's *Old Tune Renewed* takes its name from a Chinese tradition in which performers reinvent well-known compositions as new works. Sheng builds his piece on a folk song from Northwestern China\, capturing the spirit of singing that rings through open valleys while imbuing it with his own voice. In selections from Chris Potter's epic *Improvisations*\, written for PRISM's Heritage/Evolution series and recorded on *Heritage/Evolution\, Volume 2*\, jazz saxophonist Andrew Bishop improvises over the quartet\, stepping into the solo role first shaped by Potter and Ravi Coltrane on the recording. The program's other two works have deep Michigan roots. Bill Ryan's *Tiny Machines*\, a set of miniatures inspired by the robotic assembly line at Ford's truck plant in Dearborn\, is heard in an arrangement commissioned by the Sinta Quartet. Kristin Kuster wrote *Red Pine* for the Sinta Quartet to mark Don Sinta's retirement from the University of Michigan. WNYC's John Schaefer calls it \"a sonic depiction of the simple beauty of the pine forests of Ontario.\"  \n\n*This program is co-presented by the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance and New Sounds Music\, with support from the Michigan Arts and Culture Council.*\n\nPRISM Quartet is:\nTimothy McAllister\, soprano saxophone (SMTD Professor of Saxophone)\nZach Shemon\, alto saxophone \nMatthew Levy\, tenor saxophone \nTaimur Sullivan\, baritone saxophone \n\nABOUT THE PRISM QUARTET\n\nIntriguing programs of great beauty and breadth have distinguished PRISM Quartet as one of America's foremost chamber ensembles. \"A bold ensemble that set the standard for contemporary-classical saxophone quartets\" (*The New York Times*)\, PRISM has performed at Carnegie Hall and with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center\, and has toured Latin America\, China\, and Russia under the auspices of USIA and USArtists International. PRISM has also appeared as soloists with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and The Cleveland Orchestra\, and has held residencies at the nation's leading conservatories\, including the Curtis Institute of Music and the Oberlin Conservatory\, with an upcoming residency at the Juilliard School. A two-time recipient of the Chamber Music America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming\, PRISM has commissioned more than 400 works by eminent composers\, including Pulitzer Prize winners William Bolcom\, Jennifer Higdon\, Susie Ibarra\, Bernard Rands\, Tyshawn Sorey\, Julia Wolfe\, and Zhou Long\, and MacArthur Fellows George Lewis\, Bright Sheng\, and Miguel Zenón. PRISM's discography is extensive\, with nearly 40 releases on Albany\, BCM&D\, BMOP/Sound\, ECM\, innova\, Koch International\, Navona\, Naxos\, New Dynamic\, New Focus\, Orange Mountain Music\, and its own label\, XAS Records. *The Fifth Century*\, PRISM's ECM recording with The Crossing\, won a 2018 Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance. PRISM was named by its alma mater\, the University of Michigan\, as the first recipient of the Christopher Kendall Award in recognition of its work in \"collaboration\, entrepreneurship\, and community engagement.\" PRISM Quartet performs exclusively on Selmer saxophones.

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: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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

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:Exhibition:Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit\, 2020–2026
DESCRIPTION:Small Works\nPrints & Book Objects from Detroit 2020–2026\n\nOctober 27 - November 19 \nPublic Reception: Friday\, November 13 from 4:30-6pm.\n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze\, in Detroit\, MI\, from 2020–2026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

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:Reverie: The Student-led Exhibition Committee Fall 2026 Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nA reverie is a state between waking and dreaming\, a moment when the mind drifts beyond the immediate. It is a space where memory\, imagination\, desire\, and reality can overlap\, distort\, and take on new forms. In these moments\, the familiar can become strange\, and the ordinary can become something unexpected.\n\nReverie brings together student works that explore the space between what is known and what is felt. Across painting\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, animation\, and mixed media\, the artists move through imagined landscapes\, intimate encounters\, memories\, figures\, and fragments of the everyday. These works blur the boundaries between observation and imagination\, allowing emotion and perception to reshape what we recognize.\n\nRather than depicting dreams literally\, Reverie considers dreaming as a way of seeing. The works reflect moments of escape\, introspection\, fantasy\, and transformation\, where the subconscious can surface and reality becomes open to interpretation. \n\nReverie was conceived and curated by members of the Student-led Exhibition Committee (SEC)\, and features work by eight SEC members at the Stamps School of Art & Design. The exhibition includes ten works across oil on canvas\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, digital animation\, and mixed media.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Study Abroad Info Session: GCC London\, UK - Literary Monsters
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this virtual Info Session to learn more about the CGIS: Global Course Connections (GCC) in London\, UK - Literary Monsters study abroad program for Spring 2027! Unable to Join? Register for the Info Session and even if you can't make it\, you'll automatically be sent a recording. \n\nGCC Program Model: ​​​​\nGlobal Course Connections (GCC) programs allow students to participate in a field-based extension of selected U-M courses. Students enroll for specific courses in the fall or winter semester and then travel for 3 weeks with classmates to field sites where they will put into practice what they have learned in their course. Instructor permission is required to register\, and courses are offered through individual academic departments.\n\nWhy choose a GCC program?: \n+​​​​​Unique UM faculty-led programs are a great way to maximize learning during a short-term study abroad experience.+\n+Preparation in the classroom before you go abroad makes it easy to hit the ground running with good cultural context.+\n+GCC programs allow for close-knit relationships between students and faculty.  You get to know your team well throughout the semester leading up to the field component.+\n\nGCC London- Literary Monsters Overview: \nMoving among the people and streets of London and studying the political and cultural power historically centered there\, students will deepen their understanding of the cultural and geographic origins and histories of British literary monsters such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Mr. Hyde. The layered geography of the city itself\, its neighborhoods and institutions and cemeteries\, will become our classroom as well as an additional kind of course text\, as we unpack the anxieties about foreignness\, status\, and marginalization that tales of monstrosity have documented and critiqued. Building on concepts studied throughout the Winter semester\, students will have rich new opportunities to think about what monstrosity means in this particular material setting and historical moment\, visit London's past imaginatively and in some sense quite literally\, and continue to discover what kind of monster stories they themselves have to tell.

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:Lecture / Discussion:HET Brown Bag Seminar | What is the simplest holographic matrix model?
DESCRIPTION:I’ll talk about a Hermitian two matrix model called the Hoppe model\, which has an interesting strong coupling limit where the matrices commute with each other. Furthermore\, there exists an emergent area preserving diffeomorphism symmetry of this model at strong coupling\, which allows us to completely solve it at leading order. The solution for all n-point connected correlators takes the form of a Witten diagram-like expansion in an emergent two-dimensional spacetime. I’ll also briefly talk about commuting strong coupling limits in more general multi-matrix integrals\, including supersymmetric ones. The talk will be based on https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.14781 and https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.21593.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CMENAS 2026 Fall Colloquium Series | Chokepoints: Temporalities of Navigation in the Red Sea
DESCRIPTION:The story of shipping and of global trade is often narrated as one of ever-increasing efficiency and speed\, of transitions from sail to steam to cargo and futures of automation—of making straight lines. But\, for as long as there has been trade (and ships) there have been delays and interruptions—rerouters and rerouting. I argue that disruptions and moments when things appear to be stuck or rerouted are neither aberrations nor failures. Rerouting\, far from being an exception\, is both the norm and\, at times\, such as this contemporary moment of wars\, sanctions\, and tariffs\, is a condition desired by many as a mode of profit and possibility.\n\nTo showcase the productive possibilities of rerouting\, I focus on one sea route—the Bab-el-Mandeb\, a key chokepoint for global trade connecting Europe to Asia and the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. In 2023\, in response to Houthi attacks on merchant ships\, this shipping route briefly disappeared\, as cargo ships were rerouted through the Cape of Good Hope. I tell this story of this rerouting and its consequences both ephemeral and long-lasting from the perspective of a mobile set of actors in the Red Sea. Locating them within longer histories and wider geographies\, I argue for the centrality of interruptions within our understandings of circulation and crossings in the Indian Ocean and beyond.\n\nJatin Dua is an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan (U-M). He also directs the Oceans Lab at U-M\, dedicated to collaborative and multimodal ways of engaging oceans as anthropological interlocutors. His research explores maritime mobility\, and its perils and possibilities\, in the Indian Ocean\, focusing on processes and projects of governance\, law\, and economy. His book\, *Captured at Sea: Piracy and Protection in the Indian Ocean\, published with the University of California Press* (December 2019) [winner of the 2020 Elliot P. Skinner Book Award\; shortlisted for the 2024 Monsoon Book Prize and translated into Italian and Greek] is a multi-sited ethnographic and archival engagement with Somali piracy and contestations over legitimate and illegitimate commerce in the Western Indian Ocean.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning Seminar in Algebraic Combinatorics
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will introduce the completely packed loop models (CPL) as a “transition diagram” between two link patterns. We will see a connection between the weighted counting of such transition diagrams and the transfer matrix of six vertex models with twisted periodic boundary conditions. I will also present a Markov chain model on linking patterns by sampling semi-infinite cylindrical tilings of independent Bernoulli CPL plaquettes. If time permits\, I will discuss the Razumov-Stroganov conjecture that attempts to give an explicit combinatorial description of this probability distribution via six vertex models with domain wall boundary conditions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Number Theory: From modular forms to algebraic topology
DESCRIPTION:In 1995\, Borcherds proved that a certain coefficient in the expansion of the theta series of an even unimodular lattice is always divisible by 24. Coincidentally\, the third stable homotopy group of spheres is Z/24. Are these two appearances of 24 related? In this talk\, we will explore this question. The buzzword: topological modular forms (TMF).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student DGT: The Fundamental Theorem of Morse Theory
DESCRIPTION:Morse Theory lets us use tools of calculus to understand the topology of a manifold. We will introduce the basic ideas and motivations of Morse theory\, explaining how the homotopy type of a manifold M is determined by nondegenerate critical points of a function f on M. We then apply these tools to the energy functional\, allowing us to determine the homotopy type of the path space of a complete Riemannian manifold. Milnor calls this “The Fundamental Theorem of Morse Theory”\; as time allows\, we will sketch the proof.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Multiscale Analysis of the Energetics of a Sonoluminescing Plasma Blackbody: What Are the Limits of Energy Density Concentration that Can Be Achieved with Collapsing Bubbles?
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nA gas bubble in a fluid can concentrate the energy density of a sound wave by 12 orders of magnitude to create picosecond flashes of light that originate in a dense strongly coupled plasma. An abiding question is: what are the limits of energy focusing that can be realized with sonoluminescence? Our attempt at an answer involves a multiscale simulation of an imploding bubble. The fluid must be described by compressible fluid mechanics as the velocity of implosion exceeds Mach 1. The gas containing fluid cavity is described by molecular dynamics as the gradients of temperature and velocity can be very steep. The available energy per atom matches the measured emissivity and temperature\, provided the ionization energy is much lower than current theories. Application of compressed ultrafast photography to laser breakdown of dense gases reveals a consistent requirement on the large reduction of the ionization potential in these plasmas. Our multiscale analysis allows predictions for regions of parameter space where energy density concentration is substantially larger.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nSeth Putterman is a Professor of Physics at UCLA\, and President of the Julian Schwinger Foundation for Physics Research. He received a BS from Caltech and a PhD from Rockefeller University with George E. Uhlenbeck. Putterman’s thesis on the macroscopic theory of superfluids was expanded into a monograph. His theoretical research in nonlinear fluid mechanics and acoustics motivated him to set up an experimental lab which probed energy-focusing phenomena such as sonoluminescence\, X-ray emission from triboelectrification\, and crystal-generated nuclear fusion. Putterman [with Porrati] developed the foundational theory of sequential quantum jumps in a driven system such as intermittency in the fluorescence of a single trapped ion. He has served on the Defense Sciences Research Council. His work on sonoluminescence was featured on BBC2 Horizon\, “An Experiment to Save the World”. He is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and the American Physical Society and recipient of a Sloan Fellowship. Putterman was named the UCLA 2010–2011 Faculty Research Lecturer. Currently he is PI on a phase 2 clinical trial at UCLA hospital aimed at curing chronic wounds. Nature profiled his out of the mainstream approach to science in their October 2005 issue.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person\, with livestream on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CCMB/DCMB Weekly Bioinformatics Seminar Series featuring Lindsey Muir\, PhD (Research Assistant Prof. of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics)
DESCRIPTION:Development of cell reprogramming methods is hindered by low efficiency and the challenge of analyzing rare cells that have yet unknown phenotypes. While cells in a typical biosample can be identified using unbiased single-cell transcriptomics\, annotation itself relies on known gene expression signatures. Cells that begin to reprogram within a larger population remain indiscernible using this approach. Work in this area illuminates the unknowns related to our understanding of cell identity and heterogeneity. I will discuss our recent work\, including direct cell reprogramming to human hematopoietic stem cells\, future directions\, and key barriers to discovery in the field.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Policy Gradient Flow for Stochastic Control
DESCRIPTION:Reinforcement learning has achieved remarkable success in landmark applications such as AlphaGo and AlphaFold\, and is increasingly expected to play a central role in emerging domains such as autonomous driving. A substantial body of work has established theoretical foundations for classical reinforcement learning algorithms\, including temporal-difference learning\, policy iteration\, and Q-learning. By contrast\, policy gradient descent\, despite its widespread use\, remains less well understood from a theoretical perspective\, largely because of its non-convex structure and the complexity of the underlying functional space. Existing convergence analyses typically require uniform regularity assumptions on the policy\, viewed as a feedback control function\, along the gradient flow\; moreover\, the resulting convergence rates depend on these regularity bounds. In this work\, we significantly strengthen the existing convergence theory. Our key insight is to relate policy gradient descent to a mirror flow on the space of probability measures over controlled trajectories\, where the Bregman divergence is induced by the convex control cost. We rigorously prove a JKO-type convergence result showing that the discrete-time mirror flow converges to its continuous-time counterpart\, and we identify the limiting dynamics as a preconditioned policy gradient descent flow on the space of control processes. Leveraging this mirror-flow perspective\, we establish an exponential convergence rate that is independent of policy regularity. The convergence holds both in Bregman divergence and in the value of the associated control problem.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability and Analysis Seminar: Conformal removability and bubble connectivity of non-simple SLE
DESCRIPTION:Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE_\kappa) is a one-parameter family of random fractal curves arising as scaling limits of interfaces in two-dimensional statistical mechanics models. For \kappa \in (4\, 8)\, the SLE_\kappa curve is self-intersecting but not space-filling\, forming complementary connected components known as bubbles. In this talk\, I will discuss the relationship between the conformal removability of SLE traces and connectivity of the bubble adjacency graph\, as well as a sharp phase transition as \kappa varies. Joint work with Zijie Zhuang (UNIGE).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Success Workshop: Dealing with Difficult Research Topics
DESCRIPTION:Research can invite us to engage with complex\, sensitive\, and emotionally demanding topics—including sexual violence\, discrimination\, trauma\, and the experiences of vulnerable or historically marginalized communities. While this work can be meaningful\, it can also affect researchers in ways they may not anticipate. In this interactive\, student-centered workshop\, you’ll explore how to approach difficult research topics with care—for yourself\, your research partners\, and the communities connected to your work. Through reflection\, discussion\, and realistic scenarios\, you’ll learn practical strategies for recognizing emotional strain\, establishing healthy boundaries\, communicating sensitively\, and seeking support when needed. The workshop will also introduce principles for engaging ethically and respectfully with people’s lived experiences while avoiding assumptions\, harm\, or extractive research practices. Whether you are already working with a difficult topic or simply want to be better prepared\, this session will offer a supportive space to ask questions\, build skills\, and identify resources. You do not need to share personal experiences or details about your research to participate.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY26 - 27
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

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

DESCRIPTION:Rescheduled from the original March\, 2026 date!\n\nFree and open to the public. Registration is not required but we would appreciate it if you let us know you're coming at https://myumi.ch/bDEz9.\n\nMuseums are the classrooms of our country. They play a crucial role in helping us understand the nation’s complex past. This December\, Lonnie G. Bunch III will step down after seven years as Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Join us for one of his last public conversations in the role\, a dynamic exchange with Lynette Clemetson\, Director of Wallace House Center for Journalists\, on the significance of the 250th anniversary of the United States. At a moment in which discussions about our shared past and collective future feel especially urgent\, this is a rare chance to hear a leader reflect on a career devoted to informing and inspiring Americans to strive for the public good. \n\nQ & A will follow and copies of Secretary Bunch's book *A Fool's Errand: Creating the National Museum of African American History and Culture in the Age of Bush\, Obama\, and Trump* will be available for purchase. \n\nParking is available at the Thayer Parking Structure\, 216 S. Thayer\, at the standard charge of $10/vehicle.\n\nLonnie G. Bunch III is the 14th Secretary of the Smithsonian. He assumed his position June 16\, 2019. As Secretary\, he oversees 21 museums\, 21 libraries\, the National Zoo\, numerous research centers\, and several education units and centers. Two new museums—the National Museum of the American Latino and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum—are in development. Bunch was the founding director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. Bunch chronicled the creation of the museum in his book\, *A Fool’s Errand: Creating the National Museum of African American History and Culture in the Age of Bush\, Obama\, and Trump*\, and is the first historian to be Secretary of the Institution. Since 2024\, Bunch has been Honorary Professor of Practice at Queen’s University Belfast. A member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences\, Bunch received France’s highest award\, The Legion of Honor\, in 2021.\n\nLynette Clemetson is Director of Wallace House Center for Journalists\, home of the Knight-Wallace Fellowships for Journalists and the Livingston Awards for Young Journalists at the University of Michigan. She came to the university from NPR where she was Senior Director of Strategy and Content Initiatives\, developing and guiding projects across broadcast\, digital and events to develop new audiences. Her career in journalism spans newspapers\, magazines and audio across a range of platforms. As a reporter\, she was a Washington-based correspondent for *The New York Times *and *Newsweek*\, writing about politics\, social issues and demographic change. Prior to her domestic correspondent work\, she was an international correspondent for *Newsweek *based in Hong Kong\, where she covered the former British colony’s return to Chinese rule in 1997. She moved into digital strategy and leadership in 2008 as the founding managing editor of TheRoot.com\, launched for The Washington Post Company with Henry Louis Gates Jr. She is also the former Director of Content Strategy at Pew Center on the States.\n\n*This 2026 Marc and Constance Jacobson Lecture is presented by the Institute for the Humanities in partnership with Wallace House Center for Journalists.

SUMMARY:Performance:Road Trip! A Live Stage Production and Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Overview:\nJoin us for a kickoff of the Parental Advisory Toolkit and our live stage performance: Road Trip!\nWe are proud to launch Parental Advisory: A toolkit for modern families to support youth substance use prevention\, from your friends at OPEN and HBOM.\n\nAbout Road Trip:\nCar rides and couch time can be great opportunities for conversation. A Michigan family is driving Up North and you are in the backseat in our production of Road Trip: A Parental Advisory Initiative.\nRoad Trip is presented in three acts\, with six fantastic professional actors playing the role of parent and youth.\n\nThroughout the show\, a track list of popular songs and shows will be played\, and the cast will press pause to discuss the song or show's portrayal of drugs and alcohol. Our goal is for you to feel like you could see yourself starting similar conversations with your children. Even if they don’t engage right away\, it doesn’t mean they didn’t hear you. You are planting important seeds that can really make a difference.\n\nAfter the performance\, we will have an open discussion and Q&A with three expert panelists and the Parental Advisory/HBOM/OPEN team. Panelists include:\nCharles Graham\, PhD\, LCSW\, University of Michigan\, Adolescent Addiction Disorder Expert\nJohn Steffenson\, C. S. Mott Children's Hospital\, Michigan Medicine\, Music and Occupational Therapist\nVicki Kavanaugh\, CPS\, Arbor Circle\, Prevention Manager\, Prevention and Advocacy Division\n\nAbout Parental Advisory:\nToday’s caregivers are raising young people in a world with social media\, high-potency legal cannabis\, vaping devices\, counterfeit or poisoned pills and increasing concerns about youth mental health. Many parents grew up in simpler times\, when warnings and campaigns focused on fears rather than honest conversation.\n\nThe world has changed\, but one thing has not: Young people need trusted adults who listen\, stay informed\, set clear boundaries\, and stand beside them when things get hard.\nParental Advisory is here to help you and your family navigate the modern world of substance use prevention. Visit www.miparentaladvisory.org to find the complete toolkit.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

It is powerful\, polished\, and emanates from a disciplined mind.” (The Telegram)\n\nNot yet 30\, Bruce Liu\, the First Prize winner of the 2021 International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw\, has become a worldwide sensation and one of the most compelling pianists of his generation. A musician praised for his dazzling technique\, his curiosity\, and artistry that combines “nimble versatility” (The New York Times) and “playing of breathtaking beauty” (BBC Music Magazine)\, the Paris-born\, Montreal-raised Liu makes his UMS debut with a wide-ranging program that draws from his new album Lunaris. This evocative journey through night\, imagination\, and transcendence is built around some of the most iconic piano repertoire every written. “You don’t always know where Bruce Liu is taking you\,” says ResMusica\, a French classical music and dance publication\, “but you feel compelled to follow him.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Haggis X-1
DESCRIPTION:A mix of Enter the Haggis favorites and fresh material\, all served with their signature Celtic fire\n\nHaggis X-1 is a high-energy Celtic rock band built around veteran members of Enter the Haggis. Over a 30-year career\, Enter the Haggis toured extensively across North America\, performing on national television programs including Regis and Kelly\, A&E\, PBS\, and at prestigious stages such as the Kennedy Center for the Arts. Their songs “One Last Drink” and “Down With The Ship” have become modern Celtic pub anthems\, keeping audiences raising a pint and singing along wherever they’re played.\n\nCarrying that legacy forward\, Haggis X-1 blends driving rhythms\, pipes\, fiddle\, and memorable songs into a powerful live show that connects equally with longtime Celtic music fans and brand-new listeners. The band delivers a mix of beloved Enter the Haggis favorites and fresh material\, all rooted in strong melodies\, big choruses\, and a sense of celebration.\n\nIn addition to Craig Downie\, Trevor Lewington and Tom Barraco of Enter the Haggis\, Haggis X-1’s lineup features virtuoso fiddler and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Grandmont on fiddle and mandolin (known for appearances on America’s Got Talent and performances with Barrage and Ben Harper)\, guitarist Will Earley adding rhythmic punch and melodic flair\, vocalist/keyboardist Charlotte Roth bringing dynamic lead vocals and rich textures to the band’s sound\, and Anthony Candullo on bass. Together\, they create an engaging\, contemporary take on Celtic rock that’s equally at home in listening rooms\, theatres\, clubs\, and festival stages.\n\nHaggis X-1 is built for live performance: a tight\, seasoned band delivering big hooks\, fiery instrumentals\, and the kind of communal singalongs that turn every night into a celebration.

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: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:Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit\, 2020–2026
DESCRIPTION:Small Works\nPrints & Book Objects from Detroit 2020–2026\n\nOctober 27 - November 19 \nPublic Reception: Friday\, November 13 from 4:30-6pm.\n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze\, in Detroit\, MI\, from 2020–2026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY26 - 27
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

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:Reverie: The Student-led Exhibition Committee Fall 2026 Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nA reverie is a state between waking and dreaming\, a moment when the mind drifts beyond the immediate. It is a space where memory\, imagination\, desire\, and reality can overlap\, distort\, and take on new forms. In these moments\, the familiar can become strange\, and the ordinary can become something unexpected.\n\nReverie brings together student works that explore the space between what is known and what is felt. Across painting\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, animation\, and mixed media\, the artists move through imagined landscapes\, intimate encounters\, memories\, figures\, and fragments of the everyday. These works blur the boundaries between observation and imagination\, allowing emotion and perception to reshape what we recognize.\n\nRather than depicting dreams literally\, Reverie considers dreaming as a way of seeing. The works reflect moments of escape\, introspection\, fantasy\, and transformation\, where the subconscious can surface and reality becomes open to interpretation. \n\nReverie was conceived and curated by members of the Student-led Exhibition Committee (SEC)\, and features work by eight SEC members at the Stamps School of Art & Design. The exhibition includes ten works across oil on canvas\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, digital animation\, and mixed media.

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:Workshop / Seminar:Health Insurance\, the Affordable Care Act and Black-White Inequalities in Poverty
DESCRIPTION:CID Speaker Series\n\nJoin the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics as we host David Brady\, professor of public policy and management at the University of Southern California Price School of Public Policy.\n\nAbstract: Black-white inequalities in poverty are large\, persistent\, and consequential. Yet little research on these inequalities incorporates health insurance into poverty measurement. Building on advances in incorporating health insurance into income\, this study tests whether valuing health insurance and Medicaid expansions through the Affordable Care Act reduced Black-white inequalities in poverty. It analyzes within-person\, within-state\, within-year variation among Black and white individuals under age 65 from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. The findings show that augmented poverty measures produce a smaller Black-white poverty gap and that state-level Medicaid expansions significantly reduced Black poverty without affecting white poverty.\n\nDavid Brady is Professor of Public Policy & Management at the USC Price School of Public Policy. He studies poverty\, social policy\, racial inequality\, immigration\, and policymaking.\n\nPlease RSVP via the event page to save your seat.

SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:Political Speech and the Public Square
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan is an institution with diverse communities\, interests and opinions. In Fall 2024\, the Faculty Senate Office launched this series – Political Speech and the Public Square – to provide a forum for members of the U-M community to present informed\, fact-based perspectives\, and to listen to and learn from each other. In his essay\, “Education as a Space to Change Your Mind\,” philosopher Troy Jollimore reminds us of Socrates’ commitment to open-mindedness: “It requires that we work toward developing a sense of the world as a vast and complex place that we can\, and ought to\, continue to learn about for the rest of our lives.”\n\nOffered in this spirit of intellectual humility\, to support the principles of academic freedom\, and to develop a campus climate comfortable with hearing different well-informed points of view\, even those counter to one’s own views\, the lunchtime series will take place on the Diag throughout the Fall. U-M Students\, staff\, and faculty can sign up in advance to request an opportunity to speak on select topics for 3-5 minutes. Or they can simply come to listen and learn. These events are co-sponsored by the Faculty Senate Office\, the Center for Democracy & Civic Empowerment\, Open Inquiry: Talking Maize & Blue\, and Central Student Government.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Urban green infrastructure: for who\, for what\, and how?
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Sustainable Systems would like you to join us for a seminar with visiting scholar Dr. Genevieve Metson. Lunch will be provided.\n\nSeminar Summary: In sustainability circles\, green spaces in cities are praised for their multifunctionality. However\, without intentionality\, win-wins are not a given across functions\, especially with changing climate conditions. London\, Ontario\, a rapidly growing mid-sized Canadian city\, is no exception. Increasing Indigenous food sovereignty\, for instance\, via urban agriculture\, foraging\, and fishing\, is heavily curtailed by land ownership\, and at times\, potential contamination from previous land uses. The current size of green spaces is also unlikely to keep up with urban flooding risks associated with increasing extreme events. And similarly\, urban agricultural spaces may be hotspots of nutrient losses to waterways even when focusing on nutrient recycling via compost. Translating academic findings into concrete management strategies is not only challenging\, but perhaps counterproductive — we need a paradigm shift for deep sustainability. This presentation discusses how community partnership\, living labs\, and art can be used as ways to bridge the gap between current knowledge and more uncertain futures in urban green spaces.\n\nBiography: Dr. Geneviève Metson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Environment\, at Western University in Canada\, where she runs the Sustainable Resource Management Lab. She uses social science\, natural science\, and arts methods to investigate how we can better manage phosphorus\, and other resources\, across scales. Her research uses a systems perspective and views nutrients as a useful lens to examine how societies engage with the provision of food\, clean water\, and waste treatment. This broad lens has afforded her the privilege to work in the USA\, Australia\, Sweden\, South Africa\, Malawi\, and Vietnam\, in addition to her ongoing work in Canada.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Identification and Optimal Reserve Prices in English Auctions\, with an Application to Art
DESCRIPTION:We develop a partial-identification approach for English auctions with private values\, auction-level heterogeneity unobserved by the analyst\, and a potentially unknown number of bidders. Our framework permits restrictions on dependence among bidders’ valuations away from the extreme cases of independent private values and perfect correlation\, yielding sharp and informative bounds on the distribution of the highest valuation and the seller’s expected profit. We formulate reserve-price choice as a minimax-regret problem and derive tractable solutions to two relaxations of this problem. We apply our method to a new dataset covering more than 3\,500 lots auctioned by Christie’s and Sotheby’s. For modern art sold in New York City with pre-sale estimates between $1 million and $10 million\, we find that setting the reserve price 37 percent above the sellers projected value from retaining an unsold lot increases expected profit by approximately $150\,000 to $489\,000 per lot\, equivalent to 27 to 87 percent of average realized profit.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ChE SEMINAR: Umit Ozkan\, *Ohio State University*
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:*\nBridged polysilsesquioxane (BPS) is a hybrid organosilica material combining the mechanical strength of inorganic silica with the tunable chemical and structural properties of organic bridging groups. While BPS materials are widely explored as adsorbents\, their application in catalysis remains limited. Here\, we investigate BPS as a palladium (Pd) catalyst support for the aqueous-phase hydrogenation of lignocellulosic bio-oil aromatic model compounds and the hydrogenolysis of trichloroethylene (TCE)\, a toxic groundwater pollutant. Leveraging BPS tunability\, we synthesized hydrophobic Pd supports: aryl-bridged polysilsesquioxane (ABPS) and its swellable counterpart\, S-ABPS (also referred as swellable organically modified silica (SOMS)). ABPS-supported Pd catalysts exhibited remarkable activity for phenol hydrogenation and TCE hydrodechlorination\, significantly outperforming commercial Pd catalysts. Furthermore\, while state-of-the-art Pd catalysts suffer from slow kinetics at low temperatures/concentrations and poisoning by sulfur and chlorine species (SO42-\, HS-\, Cl-)\, the S-ABPS catalyst demonstrated exceptional deactivation resistance. We also investigated the effect of support’s organic content\, aromaticity\, and basicity on catalyst properties\, activity\, and selectivity. Using in situ and ex situ spectroscopy\, X-ray absorption\, and thermogravimetric analysis\, we have established structure-property-activity relationships. Ultimately\, this work demonstrates that ABPS is a highly promising support for noble metal catalysts\, offering superior metal dispersion\, poisoning resistance\, and tunable aqueous-phase activity and selectivity.\n\n*Bio:*\nUmit S. Ozkan is a Distinguished University Professor and Chair of the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department at The Ohio State University\, where she has served since 1985. A renowned expert in thermal and electro-catalysis\, she has authored over 300 publications\, holds eight patents\, and has delivered hundreds of invited lectures worldwide.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Through the NIE looking glass: The curious case of the Indian Forest Service
DESCRIPTION:Institutions\, or the “rules of the game”' that constrain and enable human behavior\, are fundamental determinants of economic development and social well-being. Pioneering work in new institutional economics (NIE) has provided a macro level framework to analyze why institutions emerge\, prevail\, and change in societies. Using the conceptual apparatus of property rights\, transaction costs\, and incomplete contracts\, this literature has answered foundational questions about organization of economies\, bargaining in polities\, and issues surrounding collective action and common-pool resource management. Recent scholarship in the new political economy (NPE) tradition has utilized agency theory to explain how micro-level details of political institutions - electoral rules\, forms of government and democracy\, political reservation and term limits - influence policy outcomes. A growing literature has extended these insights to climate related outcomes\, documenting how political institutions shape deforestation\, pollution\, natural resource extraction\, and climate change mitigation and adaptation.\n\nIn comparison to this literature linking institutions to policymaking and outcomes\, less attention has been devoted to arrangements at the policy implementation stage i.e.\, public sector organizations\, civil society and bureaucrats responsible for implementing policies. These “meso-organizations” that interpret\, adapt\, implement and enforce macro-level rules of the game in specific policy domains remain largely a black box in the economics literature. Emerging theoretical work in new public management (NPM) and a growing empirical literature has begun to open this black box\, for example\, studying how the selection\, allocation\, and incentives of bureaucrats shape public service delivery. From an empirical perspective\, however\, we know remarkably little about the role of these non-political actors in delivering environmental outcomes\, and even less about how their institutional contexts (e.g.\, local ties\, social proximity\, and informational advantages) moderate these roles.\n\nFor this talk\, we use a pair of case studies from India to draw on insights from NIE\, NPE and NPM for delivering climate solutions. First\, we briefly summarize a project examining if interventions by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are often more effective than comparable efforts by other actors. Combining a stratified field experiment in India with a triple-differences estimation strategy\, we show that a local NGO’s prior engagement with target communities increases the effectiveness of a technology-promotion intervention implemented by it by at least 30 percent.\n\nSecond\, we describe in more detail how the assignment of individual bureaucrats to regions of work shapes policy outcomes. The Indian Forest Service\, elite officers recruited by the central government and assigned to states for life\, are responsible for conservation and the day-to-day management of India's forests\, wildlife\, and natural resources. We study whether and how assigning forest bureaucrats to work in their home regions of origin affects bureaucratic performance. We build a novel panel dataset on characteristics and work history of IFoS bureaucrats (using text-parsing techniques and link them to their performance measures at the officer-level and district-level i.e.\, forest administration units that they govern). Utilizing quasi-random variation in home state assignment generated by an allocation rule\, we examine how the social proximity of forest bureaucrats in regions of their work shapes forest governance and conservation outcomes.\n\nIn conclusion\, we make the case that institutions (governance\, rules of the game\, transaction) are vital\, especially because formal contracts quite limited for implementation (‘post-contract’ adjustments) of policies\, programs\, and projects in the domain of climate solutions. The cases we present show that it is not just the quantity\, but the micro-institutional type and nature of institutions that mater. In particular\, we argue for more attention to civil society (and as such to social norms\, intrinsic motivations\, civic virtue)\, at least as a complement to state & markets.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ASC Film Screening & Panel | Nigeria’s 2027 Elections and the Future of Democracy in Africa
DESCRIPTION:In anticipation of Nigeria’s 2027 general election\, the African Studies Center (ASC) is organizing “Nigeria’s 2027 Elections and the Future of Democracy in Africa: Film Screening and Panel Discussion.” The program will examine Nigeria’s democratic journey and prospects through a screening of *MKO*\, a recently released documentary about the annulment of the 1993 presidential election and the military dictatorship that followed\, followed by a featured panel discussion on nearly three decades of civilian rule.\n\nThe panel will feature Nigerian-American filmmaker and journalist Ose Oyamendan\, who covered the 1993 election and participated in the protests that followed the annulment of its results\, along with faculty and colleagues from Political Science\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS)\, and the African Studies Center. The discussion will invite panelists to reflect on the historical significance of the 1993 election\, the evolution of Nigerian democracy since the transition to civilian rule\, and the opportunities and challenges ahead. A dinner for the panelists will follow the program.\n\n*MKO* (2026)\nDocumentary\, 108 minutes (1 hour and 48 minutes)\nDirector: Ose Oyamendan\n\n*MKO*\, directed by Nigerian-American filmmaker Ose Oyamendan\, explores the life\, political struggle\, and controversial death of Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola\, popularly known as M. K. O. Abiola.\n\nChief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola\, GCFR\, was a Nigerian business magnate\, publisher\, philanthropist\, and politician. In June 1993\, he ran for president and won an election widely regarded as free and fair\, but Nigeria’s military government annulled the results. The annulment prompted nationwide protests\, the extrajudicial killing of protesters\, and the detention of activists\, including Abiola. He later died in military custody on July 7\, 1998\, under controversial circumstances. His death helped catalyze the dismantling of military rule and Nigeria’s return to civilian democratic governance.\n\n\nPanel Discussion:\nOse Oyamendan\, Nigerian-American journalist and filmmaker\n\nOmolade Adunbi\, ASC Director and Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies/Anthropology/Law\, University of Michigan\n\nJenna Bednar\, Professor of Political Science\, University of Michigan\n\nAdrian Deese\, Assistant Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies\, University of Michigan\n\nJi Yeon (Jean) Hong\, Associate Professor of Political Science and Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Studies\, University of Michigan\n\nBios:\n\nOse Oyamendan is a Nigerian-American filmmaker based between Los Angeles\, Lagos\, and London.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Inflammation-on-a-Chip: Redefining How We Study Immune Responses\nAbstract:\n\nThe innate immune response must coordinate diverse cell populations to eliminate pathogens\, heal wounds\, and maintain tissue homeostasis. This coordination depends on dynamic communication between immune cells and their surrounding tissue environment\, yet even subtle disruptions in these interactions can drive chronic inflammation and contribute to diseases including cancer\, cardiovascular disease\, fibrosis\, and autoimmunity. As immunotherapies continue to transform the treatment of disease\, a central challenge remains: understanding how innate immune cells integrate complex environmental cues to execute precise\, context-dependent functions.\n\nA major obstacle to answering this question has been the lack of experimental models that recapitulate the human inflammation microenvironment. Conventional in vitro systems often fail to capture the three-dimensional architecture of tissues or critical multicellular interactions that shape immune responses in vivo. In this seminar\, I will present our research investigating cell-cell interactions using our “inflammation-on-a-chip” microphysiological system with a focus on critical signaling between myeloid cells\, neutrophils\, and the vascular endothelium.    \n\nBio:\nLaurel Hind is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Colorado – Boulder. She received her BS in Chemical and Biological Engineering from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 2009 and her PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 2015 before beginning her postdoc at University of Wisconsin – Madison. She joined the faculty at the University of Colorado – Boulder in January 2020. Her research group is broadly interested in using engineered devices to understand how diverse signals in the tissue microenvironment regulate the innate immune response. She received an NIGMS R35 Early Investigator MIRA award in 2021\, was awarded an NSF CAREER award in 2025\, and was named a CMBE Rising Star in 2025.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series - Planning optimization approaches for power systems under wildfire-related decision-dependent uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe interaction between power systems and wildfires can be dangerous and costly. Distribution grids can be liable for the outbreak of wildfires during extreme weather. In wildfire-prone areas\, investment planning should consider the impact of operational actions on wildfire-related uncertainties affecting line failure likelihood. To address this planning exercise\, we propose two decision-dependent uncertainty (DDU) aware  frameworks  to optimize the combination of upgrades to improve the system’s ability to deal with wildfires. The first one is two-stage distributionally robust planning optimization problem with DDU\, where the first stage determines optimal switching actions and line investments\, and the second stage evaluates the worst-case expected operational cost under a DDU framework designed to account for the endogenous impact of power-flow levels and hardening investment decisions in the line failure probabilities. The second one is a multi-horizon planning framework that integrates these timescales within a single distributionally robust stochastic optimization model to capture both long-term and short-term uncertainties. We develop an exact decomposition algorithm that produces coordinated investment and operational policies across both horizons.\n\nBiography:\nAlexandre Moreira is a research scientist in the Energy Technologies Area at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His research applies mathematical programming techniques to critical questions in power systems planning\, operations\, and economics\, with a particular focus on novel methodologies for transmission expansion planning that account for reliability and resilience. At Berkeley Lab\, he leads and collaborates on projects that develop foundational modeling frameworks and tools to (i) formulate risk-based optimization and decision-making models to propose transparent\, well-informed \"cost vs. risk\" tradeoffs for infrastructure planning\, and (ii) support the valuation of emerging technologies. He holds BSc and MSc degrees from PUC-Rio\, Brazil\, and a PhD from Imperial College London.\n\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 - Variation in life history strategies shapes evolution across the tree of fishes
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - My research explores how ecology and life history strategies drive evolutionary processes and patterns in fishes. Life history strategies have direct links to fitness and vary dramatically among lineages\, and this variation can drive rates and patterns of trait evolution. In this talk I will highlight recent work demonstrating how a migratory life history strategy can influence trait evolution among populations and across clades spanning the fish tree of life. I will also present new research on macroevolution and diversification of lampreys\, an ancient lineage of jawless fishes with remarkably different life history strategies long thought to be linked to a novel speciation process.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Ottoman Roots
DESCRIPTION:Fruit trees planted in the late Ottoman Empire may have lived for over a century after the polity they grew up in disappeared from maps. Starting from these trees and their relationship to time\, this presentation elucidates the relationship between fruit production and violence at the end of empire. Many who planted the trees left—or were forced to leave—and newly settled people—many of them refugees themselves—came to care for these living relics of past social worlds. Through apricots\, figs\, grapes\, hazelnuts\, olives\, and pistachios\, the project places displaced people and their rootedness in the face of uprooting at the center\, and suggests their role in Turkey’s world-leading production of these commodities today. \n\nSamuel Dolbee is an environmental historian of the modern Middle East\, and an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University. His first book Locusts of Power was the co-winner of the 2024 Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association Book Prize. His work has appeared in American Historical Review\, Comparative Studies of Society and History\, Environmental History\, Journal of Global History\, and Past & Present among other places. He was formerly editor-in-chief of and is currently a contributor to Ottoman History Podcast. \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:Gomberg's Earlier Instances of Trivalent Carbon
DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan chemistry professor Moses Gomberg’s 1900 revelation\, “An Instance of Trivalent Carbon: Triphenylmethyl\"\, lauded on a centennial National Historic Chemical Landmark for challenging the “prevailing belief that carbon can only have four bonds”\, shifts its' place in our imaginations as the facts given here are accommodated. In 1898 Gomberg presumed that he had made a molecular complex of bromotriphenylmethane and two neutral iodine molecules. But he was mistaken. Instead\, Gomberg produced a mixture ofthree persistent single crystals of the triphenylmethyl cation before he published his aforementioned\, controversial paper. Trigonal carbon coordination was the crack in the valency rules that had organized chemistry prior to the invention of quantum mechanics. Gomberg did not recognize the wealth of trivalent carbon compounds he had in hand before the proposition of the radical and corresponding cation thereafter. This presentation gives a counterfactual history.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reimagining Work as a Product Designed for Workers
DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan’s Philosophy\, Politics\, and Economics speaker for Fall 2026 is Dart Lindsley\, CEO of the work design company 11fold and host of Work for Humans. \n\nOctober 29\, 2026 | Talk with Q & A 4pm - 6 pm | Reception with light refreshments from 6 pm to 7:30 pm.\nFREE\, but registration is required.\nRackham Assembly Hall\n\nAbout Dart\nDart spent 25 years in transformation roles at Fortune 100 high-tech companies\, serving as a Strategic Advisor and Head of Global Process Excellence for People Operations at Google\, and previously as a Head of Business Architecture at Cisco Systems. He speaks on why we need to radically transform where we position employees in our business models — from inputs to customers. His 2024 HBR article \"Reimagining Work as a Product\" was nominated as best-of-issue and has gone on to multiple reprints.  Work for Humans has 200 episodes on which Dart speaks with diverse thinkers about how we might design better work. The show ranks in the top 3% among all podcasts and routinely peaks in the top 50 in the management category. Dart earned a 2024 Mira Fellowship for thinkers with radical reframes that can improve the world.  \n\nAbout the Talk\n\nEarly management theorists committed a category error when they classified employees as inputs to production: assets\, resources\, human capital. Dart argues that error haunts work today and offers a reframe. Employees are customers. Work is a product they choose to buy with their labor. Like any subscription product\, it has to be designed well enough that working customers choose to buy it each day. Building on his HBR article \"Reimagining Work as a Product\" (with co-author Eric Anicich)\, Dart shows how this reframe overturns norms\, power structures\, and how resources are allocated. For researchers it changes the questions\, the units of analysis\, the standards of evidence. He shares examples from organizations already living in the new world. He'll then use the reframe as a case study in something larger: what it takes to lead a paradigm shift\, and the tools that serve anyone striving to redesign institutions to solve the problems of living and working together.\n\nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Early Novel in French: Poetics of a Genre in the Making.
DESCRIPTION:In her upcoming talk\, Virginia Krause proposes to fill in a missing chapter in our History of the Novel\, which has long overlooked sixteenth-century France in its rush to identify the birth of the modern novel (for modernists) or the demise of medieval romance (for medievalists).  In the experimental fictions of mid-sixteenth-century France\, ancient rhetorical culture and new print technologies converged\, Krause argues\, shedding new light on a rapidly evolving genre—its lifelike personas or “person-fictions”\; its immersive powers over readers\; and\, amidst all its experimental properties and “new” technologies\, the enduring place occupied by ancient rhetorical culture and medieval adventure\, core principles for this genre-in-the-making.\n\n*Biography:*\n\nProfessor of French and Francophone Studies at Brown University\, Virginia Krause is the author of Witchcraft\, Demonology\, and Confession in Early Modern France (Cambridge\, 2015) and Idle Pursuits (Delaware\, 2003).  Her talk will be drawn from her new book\, The Early Novel in French: Poetics of a Genre in the Making (Northwestern\, forthcoming).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What’s Our Impact?: Understanding how the Arts & Humanities Matter
DESCRIPTION:As people working in the humanities and the arts\, we know our work matters–to our fields\, to our disciplines\, and to society. We have seen how the arts and humanities transform perception\, provide expertise\, and help people grapple with the biggest questions about what it means to be human and to live in an increasingly interconnected\, yet often divided world. And\, in both the arts and humanities\, we know UM faculty are contributing to their disciplines in deeply meaningful ways. \n\nYet\, for all we know about these positive effects\, arts and humanities research is often imagined to be at odds with the metric-driven language of “impact”--a term often seen as imposed from fields outside the arts and humanities. At the same time\, “impact” has become the dominant framework for measuring the value of academic research. As a result\, arts and humanities faculty are often called upon to describe our “impact” in ways that are legible to University leadership and funding imperatives\, even as we feel uneasy about how to answer such calls in ways that are authentic to our work. How do we avoid finding ourselves outside terms that are increasingly important in the fight for the continued growth and resilience of higher education in the U.S?\n\n“What’s Our Impact?: Understanding how the Arts & Humanities Matter” is a series of events slated for October 29 & 30 on UM’s Ann Arbor campus. A joint initiative of the UM Arts Initiative\, Office of Vice President of Research (OVPR)\, and the Institute for Humanities\, the gathering will serve arts and humanities faculty seeking more ways to discuss their work in terms that are legible within the ascendant impact paradigm\, while also ensuring that those terms are authentic to our disciplines\, methods\, and creative practice. Through a public conversation\, facilitated workshop\, keynote from UM leadership\, and a panel with funders\, the 1.5 day long event will bring together experts–those engaging “impact” in their research\, those in leadership\, and those community partners with whom we work–and put them in conversation with arts and humanities leadership and researchers at the University of Michigan. In addition to allowing our communities to come together to elaborate what “impact” means on our terms\, this event is also designed to help humanities and arts faculty recognize how they could become more competitive in University grant opportunities\, including the Strategic Initiative Fund\, the Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration (ARIA) program\, Humanities Institute Fellowship\, and a range of other internal and external funding initiatives.\n\nThursday\, October 29\, 4:30-6:30\nWhat Works Now: arts and humanities advocacy in the impact paradigm \nPendleton Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor) \na public discussion about making the best case for the arts and humanities with leading voices\, including \nProfessor Jill Dolan\, Annan Professor Emeritus of English\, Princeton University\nArtist\, Curator\, and Organizer Ryan Myers-Johnson\, Executive Director and Founder of Sidewalk Detroit\nProfessor Shelome Gooden\, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Research in the Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences and Related Fields\, University of Pittsburgh\nJennifer Rupp\, President & CEO\, Michigan Humanities\n\nFriday\, October 30\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\n\n9-11:30\n“Impact” in Our Own Words: a workshop for arts and humanities faculty\nArts and humanities faculty bring current project ideas and experiment with ways of discussing “impact” \n\n11:30: Lunch served\n\n12-12:45: Keynote lunch talk with Vice Provost for Arts & Humanities Sara Blair\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\n\n1-2:30\nMaking the Case: Funders on Arts and Humanities Impact\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\nHear from internal and external funders on how “impact” plays a role in their granting process

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Performance:Korean Performing Arts Initiative | 유일한 Ilhan New: His Life in Music and Story - Featuring Original Songs by Lisa Sung
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening of music and storytelling celebrating the remarkable life of Ilhan New\, a Korean American entrepreneur\, philanthropist\, and University of Michigan alum. This musical performance is presented in conjunction with the Nam Center for Korean Studies’ international conference\, “Transpacific Lives in an American Century: Ilhan New as Method\,” exploring New’s life and legacy across Korea and the United States.\n\nBorn in Pyongyang\, New came to the United States at a young age and grew up in the Midwest. His journey took him from a Korean youth military school in Hastings\, Nebraska\, to Detroit and Ann Arbor\, where he studied business and commerce at the University of Michigan. In 1922\, he co-founded La Choy with his Michigan friend Wally Smith. Returning to Korea in 1926\, he established Yuhan Corporation\, a pharmaceutical company that reflected his commitment to public health and social responsibility. During and after World War II\, New also contributed to Korea’s independence efforts and the rebuilding of the nation through education\, philanthropy\, and public health initiatives. His life offers a compelling lens through which to explore migration\, identity\, entrepreneurship\, and the enduring connections between Korea and the United States.\n\nFeaturing original songs by Lisa Sung\, this performance brings New’s extraordinary story to life through music and narrative\, inviting audiences to reflect on the personal experiences and historical forces that shaped his legacy.\n\nPerformers\n- Lisa Sung — Composer and piano\n- Jeong Min Huh — Tenor\n- Brynn Hilliker — Bass\n- Cecilia Fornuto — Soprano\n- Harrison McComb — Saxophone/Flute\n- Nicholas Classen — Trombone\n- Max Wetterlen — Drums\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at outreachkorea@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:\"From Hilde\, with Love\"
DESCRIPTION:This screening is part of Michigan's Theater Anti-Fascist Film Series. \n\nSpanning 1939 to today\, the Anti-Fascist Film Series explores how filmmakers have confronted fascism\, authoritarianism\, and oppression. Through stories of resistance\, rebellion\, and individual courage\, these films examine what it means to stand against forces that threaten freedom.\nFull Schedule: \n\nCONFESSIONS OF A NAZI SPY (1939) – Thursday\, September 10th  \n      FBI agent Ed Renard (Edward G. Robinson) goes on the hunt for a Nazi spy ring bent on subverting the citizenry of America. Beginning with Nazi rabble-rouser Kurt Schneider (Francis Lederer)\, Renard uses his well-honed instincts to find his way to the ring leader of the espionage campaign\, Dr. Karl Kassell (Paul Lukas). With the Nazi secret police rounding up any security leaks and passing them back to Germany\, Renard races to extract the information that will bring down the conspiracy.\n\n    THE GREAT DICTATOR (1940) – Thursday\, September 17th  \n      After dedicated service in the Great War\, a Jewish barber (Charles Chaplin) spends years in an army hospital recovering from his wounds\, unaware of the simultaneous rise of fascist dictator Adenoid Hynkel (also Chaplin) and his anti-Semitic policies. When the barber\, who bears a remarkable resemblance to Hynkel\, returns to his quiet neighborhood\, he is stunned by the brutal changes and recklessly joins a beautiful girl (Paulette Goddard) and her neighbors in rebelling.\n\n    THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS (1966) – Thursday\, October 8th  \n      Paratrooper commander Colonel Mathieu (Jean Martin)\, a former French Resistance fighter during World War II\, is sent to 1950s Algeria to reinforce efforts to squelch the uprisings of the Algerian War. There he faces Ali la Pointe (Brahim Haggiag)\, a former petty criminal who\, as the leader of the Algerian Front de Libération Nationale\, directs terror strategies against the colonial French government occupation. As each side resorts to ever-increasing brutality\, no violent act is too unthinkable.\n\n    TRANSIT (2018) – Thursday\, October 15th  \n      In 1942\, Georg attempts to flee France\, after its invasion by the Nazis. He assumes the identity of a dead author\, but soon finds himself stuck in Marseilles\, where he falls in love with Maria\, a young woman searching for her missing husband.\n\n A HIDDEN LIFE (2019) – Thursday\, October 22nd  \n      Austrian farmer Franz Jägerstätter faces the threat of execution for refusing to fight for the Nazis during World War II.\n\n    FROM HILDE\, WITH LOVE (2024) – Thursday\, October 29th  (in partnership with U-M German Dept.)\n      When the shy and pregnant Hilde Coppi is suddenly detained by the Gestapo\, she pleads ignorance to their accusations that she aids her lover\, Hans\, in transcribing coded radio transmissions to and from Moscow.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology seminar: Tight surgeries on torus knots
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: We give a complete classification of tight contact structures on every surgery along torus knots\, which provides the first such classification on an infinite family of non-trivial knots and makes progress on the project of understanding tight contact structures on Seifert fibered spaces. The main tools are the classification of non-loose torus knots\, bordered contact invariants\, and non-thickenable tori in knot complements. In this talk\, we will discuss the role played by recently developed connections between Heegaard Floer invariants and contact geometry in the classification.

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: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. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

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:Conference / Symposium:Perspectives on Contemporary Korea | Transpacific Lives in an American Century: Ilhan New as Method
DESCRIPTION:The Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan is proud to host an international conference focused on the life and work of Ilhan New as part of the Center’s Perspectives on Contemporary Korea series. A national hero in Korea and the University of Michigan’s most famous Korean alumnus\, Ilhan New’s remarkable biography is well known. Born in Pyongyang\, New came to the United States at a young age and received primary and secondary education in the Midwest. In Hastings\, Nebraska\, New attended the Korean youth military school established by Park Yong-man in 1909. From Hastings\, New moved to Detroit and then to nearby Ann Arbor to pursue a degree in business and commerce at the University of Michigan. While studying at Michigan New met his future spouse and trailblazing partner Mary Woo. In 1922\, New and a friend from the University of Michigan named Wally Smith launched the brand La Choy and turned a seemingly impossible chance encounter into one of the most spectacular examples of the American Dream at Smith’s grocery in Detroit. New returned to his homeland in 1926 at the age of 31 and established a successful pharmaceutical company named Yuhan yanghaeng. In the final years of the Pacific War\, New once again demonstrated his ability to shape new forms of Asian\, American\, and Asian American agency as a consultant for the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS). After liberation in 1945\, New made significant contributions to the rebuilding of South Korea through education\, public health\, and philanthropy.\n\nFar from taking New as an extraordinary individual who led an exceptional life\, the conference will approach New’s biography as a point of entry that opens onto several important avenues for thinking about Korean\, American\, and Asian American histories of the modern era\, as well as a method for interrogating these histories’ complex imbrications with one another. Particular attention will be paid to the lesser known forces that shaped New’s trajectory and the transformative impact of New’s life on these and other historical forces. Using Ilhan New not as case study but as method\, this conference will examine\, among other things\, the global footprint of Midwestern values and religiosity\, the ethnicity of global industry and global nature of ethnic industry\, fighting for a nation that is both singular and plural\, and Korea’s diasporic century.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit\, 2020–2026
DESCRIPTION:Small Works\nPrints & Book Objects from Detroit 2020–2026\n\nOctober 27 - November 19 \nPublic Reception: Friday\, November 13 from 4:30-6pm.\n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze\, in Detroit\, MI\, from 2020–2026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant\, and later studio manager\, in 2024. Over those six years\, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year\, open studio for the public\, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026\, they decided to expand community programming\, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works\, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop\, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community\, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works\, by their studiomates Diskette Press\, the publisher Maamoul Press\, and by the community that uses the space.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:What’s Our Impact?: Understanding how the Arts & Humanities Matter
DESCRIPTION:As people working in the humanities and the arts\, we know our work matters–to our fields\, to our disciplines\, and to society. We have seen how the arts and humanities transform perception\, provide expertise\, and help people grapple with the biggest questions about what it means to be human and to live in an increasingly interconnected\, yet often divided world. And\, in both the arts and humanities\, we know UM faculty are contributing to their disciplines in deeply meaningful ways. \n\nYet\, for all we know about these positive effects\, arts and humanities research is often imagined to be at odds with the metric-driven language of “impact”--a term often seen as imposed from fields outside the arts and humanities. At the same time\, “impact” has become the dominant framework for measuring the value of academic research. As a result\, arts and humanities faculty are often called upon to describe our “impact” in ways that are legible to University leadership and funding imperatives\, even as we feel uneasy about how to answer such calls in ways that are authentic to our work. How do we avoid finding ourselves outside terms that are increasingly important in the fight for the continued growth and resilience of higher education in the U.S?\n\n“What’s Our Impact?: Understanding how the Arts & Humanities Matter” is a series of events slated for October 29 & 30 on UM’s Ann Arbor campus. A joint initiative of the UM Arts Initiative\, Office of Vice President of Research (OVPR)\, and the Institute for Humanities\, the gathering will serve arts and humanities faculty seeking more ways to discuss their work in terms that are legible within the ascendant impact paradigm\, while also ensuring that those terms are authentic to our disciplines\, methods\, and creative practice. Through a public conversation\, facilitated workshop\, keynote from UM leadership\, and a panel with funders\, the 1.5 day long event will bring together experts–those engaging “impact” in their research\, those in leadership\, and those community partners with whom we work–and put them in conversation with arts and humanities leadership and researchers at the University of Michigan. In addition to allowing our communities to come together to elaborate what “impact” means on our terms\, this event is also designed to help humanities and arts faculty recognize how they could become more competitive in University grant opportunities\, including the Strategic Initiative Fund\, the Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration (ARIA) program\, Humanities Institute Fellowship\, and a range of other internal and external funding initiatives.\n\nThursday\, October 29\, 4:30-6:30\nWhat Works Now: arts and humanities advocacy in the impact paradigm \nPendleton Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor) \na public discussion about making the best case for the arts and humanities with leading voices\, including \nProfessor Jill Dolan\, Annan Professor Emeritus of English\, Princeton University\nArtist\, Curator\, and Organizer Ryan Myers-Johnson\, Executive Director and Founder of Sidewalk Detroit\nProfessor Shelome Gooden\, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Research in the Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences and Related Fields\, University of Pittsburgh\nJennifer Rupp\, President & CEO\, Michigan Humanities\n\nFriday\, October 30\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\n\n9-11:30\n“Impact” in Our Own Words: a workshop for arts and humanities faculty\nArts and humanities faculty bring current project ideas and experiment with ways of discussing “impact” \n\n11:30: Lunch served\n\n12-12:45: Keynote lunch talk with Vice Provost for Arts & Humanities Sara Blair\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\n\n1-2:30\nMaking the Case: Funders on Arts and Humanities Impact\nMichigan Room\, Michigan Union (2nd floor)\nHear from internal and external funders on how “impact” plays a role in their granting process

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Designing Electric Vehicle Subsidies for Equity and Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:Electric vehicle (EV) subsidies have been a central part of global clean energy policy but have raised concerns about regressivity. We evaluate equity-focused EV subsidy designs—buyer income limits\, price limits\, and used EV subsidies—as implemented in many countries\, including through the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). We show that in a simple theoretical model\, resale price changes can make new and used EV subsidies economically equivalent. Using a novel bunching estimator exploiting the IRA used EV tax credit’s transaction price limit\, we estimate that the credit indeed raised EV resale prices—but only after the credits could be paid immediately at the dealership. Using a detailed structural model of U.S. new and used vehicle markets\, we show that new EV subsidies accelerate used EV scrappage instead of only diverting from gasoline vehicles\, reducing environmental benefits. Partially for this reason\, the modeled marginal value of public funds (MVPF) of the IRA EV tax credits is only 0.88. Income-limited new EV subsidies have relatively high welfare-weighted MVPF.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Neural simulation-based inference for scalable\, high-fidelity spatial modeling
DESCRIPTION:Neural simulation-based inference is a recent paradigm shift in statistical science that uses simulations from a statistical model to train a neural network for statistical inference. These neural models serve as fast and accurate amortized surrogates for classical inferential quantities\, such as point estimators\, confidence sets\, likelihoods\, posteriors or conditional distributions\, whose evaluation tends to be computationally intensive or wholly intractable for many complex statistical models. As such\, this approach holds the potential for massive scale-up and increased fidelity of statistical inference in complex real-world settings which have previously relied on crude approximations or overly simplified modeling. In this talk\, I will first give an overview of some of the key ideas in neural simulation-based inference. I will then describe our work on neural likelihood inference motivated by complex inferential problems in spatial and spatio-temporal statistics. Specific topics covered include scalable Gaussian process modeling of Earth science observations and circumventing intractable likelihoods in spatial extremes models and spatial transport error models\, with an application to constraining aerosol climate parameters.\n\n*Department reception in 450 West Hall after the seminar at 11:00 AM*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Building Graduate Programs for Indigenous Students: Respectful Approaches to Community-Based Science
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous students continue to be severely underrepresented in STEM disciplines. In this presentation\, we will discuss approaches for building Indigenous graduate programs from what we have learned and are still learning at Purdue University. We will focus on the following key points: 1) Indigenous students are interested in STEM research that impacts their home communities. 2) The need to approach Indigenous communities as partners in the research. 3) It is critical to match incoming Indigenous graduate students with research advisors that are willing to learn about and that respect Indigenous cultures. 4) Geologic field trips that address important geological/environmental issues on tribal lands are productive avenues for Indigenous students to see the connections between geoscience graduate research and their home communities. 4) The importance of evaluating graduate applications on potential versus pedigree. 5) Summer research programs are important bridges for prospective Indigenous students to visit large campuses that are often far from their home communities. 6) The need for an on-campus Indigenous community. Campus cultural centers are essential for this community. 8) Financial support is critical for Indigenous students that must relocate far from the home communities. Graduate programs that are training Indigenous students will provide the leaders that will collect and interpret the data\, make scientific decisions\, and provide solutions that are culturally relevant and that benefit their tribal communities.

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:Reverie: The Student-led Exhibition Committee Fall 2026 Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nA reverie is a state between waking and dreaming\, a moment when the mind drifts beyond the immediate. It is a space where memory\, imagination\, desire\, and reality can overlap\, distort\, and take on new forms. In these moments\, the familiar can become strange\, and the ordinary can become something unexpected.\n\nReverie brings together student works that explore the space between what is known and what is felt. Across painting\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, animation\, and mixed media\, the artists move through imagined landscapes\, intimate encounters\, memories\, figures\, and fragments of the everyday. These works blur the boundaries between observation and imagination\, allowing emotion and perception to reshape what we recognize.\n\nRather than depicting dreams literally\, Reverie considers dreaming as a way of seeing. The works reflect moments of escape\, introspection\, fantasy\, and transformation\, where the subconscious can surface and reality becomes open to interpretation. \n\nReverie was conceived and curated by members of the Student-led Exhibition Committee (SEC)\, and features work by eight SEC members at the Stamps School of Art & Design. The exhibition includes ten works across oil on canvas\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, digital animation\, and mixed media.

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

SUMMARY: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.

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:Lecture / Discussion:Designing for Dignity: Strengthening Food Assistance Amid Policy Threats
DESCRIPTION:Kate Bauer is a professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and director of the newly established Institute for Food\, Nutrition\, and Health Policy (IFNHP) at U-M. Her research focuses on the social influences on children’s eating\, with particular attention to supporting effective parenting and healthy home food environments. Understanding the causes and consequences of food insecurity has been a consistent thread throughout her work\, given the physical\, mental\, and emotional strain it places on parents and children.\n\nBauer will be in conversation with Taylor Moore\, director of Food Rescue at Goodwill Northern Michigan and a member of the Operating Committee of the Northwest Food Coalition. Moore's work focuses on reducing food waste and advancing equitable food access through community organizing and systems change approaches. Over the past decade\, he and his colleagues have expanded consistent\, year-round fruit and vegetable availability from three Northwest Food Coalition pantries to all 37. Active in food system networks at the regional\, state\, and national levels\, Moore has contributed to research incorporating dignity and democratic decision-making practices in food assistance program design.  \n\nThe Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions speaker series is free and open to the public as well as being a one-credit course for U-M students (SW503). In-person talks include coffee\, cookies\, and the chance to ask the speakers questions\, or you can watch the livestream on YouTube.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by U-M School of Public Health and the Institute for Food\, Nutrition\, and Health Policy.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Environments\, Empire\, and More-than-Human Histories
DESCRIPTION:The “environment” is often treated as the background against which human histories unfold: a passive setting for state formation\, migration\, violence\, and social change. Samuel Dolbee’s work challenges this assumption by asking us to consider how borders\, disease\, landscapes\, and ecological systems actively shape the histories of empire and everyday life. In his work \, Dolbee shows how environmental forces were not merely acted upon by states and empires\, but became entangled in the making of borders\, regimes of control\, and imperial knowledge.\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> The Price of Protection: Molecular Control of Plant Growth and Defense
DESCRIPTION:Defense comes at a cost\, and in plants that cost can be strikingly visible. Elevated defense is often accompanied by reduced growth\, delayed development\, and lower seed production. Plants manage this growth–defense balance in part through jasmonate\, a lipid-derived hormone produced in response to wounding and insect attack. Jasmonate acts as a molecular glue between an F-box protein and a family of transcriptional repressors\, triggering their degradation and thereby activating defense gene expression. I will describe how this signaling mechanism is translated into transcriptional and physiological outputs\, and what happens when its components are perturbed. I will show how genetic dissection of this pathway reveals a tight coupling between growth and defense\, how the conserved Mediator kinase CDK8 regulates jasmonate-dependent transcription\, and how nutrient availability shapes the deployment of particular defense programs. Together\, these findings illustrate how plants integrate hormone signaling\, transcriptional regulation\, and nutrient availability to balance the competing demands of growth and defense.\n\nBio:\nUniversity Distinguished Professor\, MSU Foundation Professor\, Member\, National Academy of Sciences\, Fulbright U.S. Scholar\n\nResearch: Molecular and Biochemical Basis of Plant-Insect Interactions\nResearch in our laboratory is aimed at understanding how plants respond to insect herbivory and other forms of wound stress. We use both tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) as experimental model systems for three related areas of investigation: (1) we are elucidating the mechanism of synthesis and action of the plant hormone jasmonate\; (2) we are studying how jasmonate-regulated defensive compounds thwart insect attack\; and (3) we are studying the development and metabolic function of glandular trichomes in tomato. These projects provide training in several areas of modern plant biology\, including: analysis of protein-protein and receptor-hormone interactions\; transcriptional networks\; plant development\; genetics of plant-insect interactions\; protein biochemistry/proteomics\; metabolism and metabolomics\; and crop improvement for insect resistance.

SUMMARY:Presentation:NERS Colloquium: Arms Control with protons and neutrons: on the ground and in the sky
DESCRIPTION:Areg Danagoulian will explore how nuclear physics can provide new tools for arms control and treaty verification\, from neutron-based techniques for authenticating nuclear warheads to the use of cosmic-ray protons to verify the absence of nuclear weapons in space. His work connects fundamental nuclear physics with practical challenges in international security and nonproliferation.\n\nAreg Danagoulian is an Associate Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. He did his PhD research in Experimental Nuclear Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Areg’s PhD thesis focused on experiments that used real Compton scattering on the proton at 2-6 GeV\, allowing to probe the proton's internal structure and understand how it couples to external excitations. After his PhD Areg worked at Los Alamos as a postdoctoral researcher\, and then as a senior scientist at Passport Systems\, Inc. (PSI). At PSI Areg focused on the development of Prompt Neutron from Photofission (PNPF) technique\, which allows to rapidly detect shielded fissionable materials in the commercial cargo traffic. Areg's current research interests focus on nuclear physics applications in nuclear security\, such areas nuclear nonproliferation\, technologies for treaty verification\, nuclear safeguards\, and cargo security.\n\nProf. Danagoulian's research has earned him and his research team a number of important awards\, such as:\n\nFellow of the American Physical Society\, Forum on Physics and Society (2025). Citation: “For seminal technological contributions in the field of arms control and cargo security\, which significantly benefit international security.”\n\nArms Control Association’s Arms Control Person(s) of the Year award\, “For developing an innovative new nuclear disarmament verification process using neutron beams\,” 2020. \n\nAmerican Nuclear Society Radiation Science and Technology Award\, “For technology-critical contributions exploiting nuclear resonance phenomena for warhead verification in nuclear disarmament and nuclear detection techniques in cargo security\,” 2019\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:Presentation:Understanding Development and Familial Transmission of Psychopathology: Insights From Genetically and Causally Informative Studies
DESCRIPTION:A complete understanding of how psychopathology develops over time\, is transmitted across generations\, and is influenced by familial and broader social contexts is necessary for developing comprehensive etiological models of psychopathology and related processes\, and identification of causal mechanisms is necessary for developing the most targeted and effective prevention and interventions. Yet\, many of our most fundamental questions about etiological contributors to the development of psychopathology and mechanisms of its familial transmission cannot be definitively answered using usual study designs. Drawing from a developmental psychopathology framework and using complementary\, longitudinal\, genetically informative\, and quasi-experimental study designs in multiple largescale cohorts\, my work aims to address this challenge. In this talk\, I will present a series of studies\, including identifying risk factors for and effects of depression\, differentiating pre-existing liability toward substance use from exposure-related effects on brain\, examining effects of prenatal substance exposure on infant and child development\, distinguishing genetic from environmental mechanisms of the familial transmission of psychopathology\, and considering whether and how cannabis legalization has a causal effect on children\, adolescents\, and families. This work also considers broader contextual factors that may influence exposure to risk and adversity\, as well as access to protective resources. Although no single study or approach is sufficient on its own\, leveraging these multiple genetically and causally informative study designs in a complementary fashion can help us begin to triangulate on etiology and causal mechanisms to better understand the development and familial transmission of psychopathology.\n\n*The talk will be followed by a reception with light refreshments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Grit and the Grind: Politics\, Legitimacy\, and Educational Change
DESCRIPTION:School reform depends on sustained work to strengthen instruction\, develop professional capacity\, and build organizations that can learn. Yet the political conditions that make this work possible are often unstable. How do reform initiatives establish sufficient legitimacy to support improvement\, and how does the design of reforms strengthen or undermine that legitimacy? Drawing on the primary themes explored in The Grit and the Grind: Building High-Performing Education Systems in an Era of Polarization (University of Chicago Press\, 2026)\, this talk examines the reciprocal relationship between politics\, legitimacy\, and organizational change. The talk explores how the design of educational reforms can earn or erode support among educators and communities\, and the consequences for the sustained work of organizational learning and improvement. The central argument is that while legitimacy helps constitute the conditions under which organizational learning and improvement become possible\, legitimacy\, itself\, is tied to the degree to which reform efforts resonate with local identities and collective memory. The talk uses educational reform to explore the broader question of how politics and organizational learning interact\, and what it takes to sustain the slow\, uncertain work of institutional change.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Robust Properties of Economies with Endogenous Production Networks (joint with Simone Cerreia-Vioglio\, Roberto Corrao\, and Joel Flynn)
DESCRIPTION:We characterize equilibria in a canonical class of economies with endogenous production networks\, showing that log-prices equal a min-max over networks of a primitive affine function of log-productivities. This formula captures how resilience and fragility interact: the “min” reflects resilience from substituting suppliers\, while the “max” reflects fragility from complementarity-induced rigidity. Applying these results\, we generalize Hulten's theorem\, finding that local Domar weights are generally insufficient to describe propagation of even small shocks. Moreover\, we characterize how microeconomic volatility affects GDP\, finding that smooth changes in Domar weights overstate its adverse effects by omitting option value from switching suppliers.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AIM Seminar: Programmable Collective Dynamics in Active Matter and Robot Swarms
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  Collective systems are able to exhibit complex global dynamics through relatively simple local interactions\, and they give us a powerful connection between nonequilibrium physics\, active matter\, and robotics. In this talk\, I will present our work on understanding and controlling collective behavior across theoretical and experimental systems. I will first discuss experimental work involving magnetic microrobot collectives in which competing pairwise interactions enable reconfiguration between distinct states\, locomotion\, and environmental interactions. And when heterogeneity and asymmetric interactions are introduced\, they can be used to program self-organization and generate various collective behaviors that include phase separation\, morphology changes\, and object manipulation. At the more theoretical level\, I will discuss swarmalators\, which are agents that simultaneously swarm and synchronize\, and I will show how chirality\, heterogeneity\, multiple internal phases\, and nonreciprocal interactions can enable fascinating and non-intuitive collective states\, as well as be exploited to systematically control the collective to exhibit desired shape formation\, navigation\, and object manipulation\, such that principles from active matter can be used for programmable collective robotic systems.\n\n\nContact:  Silas Alben

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Alternative Affinities: Constellations of Kinship and Community
DESCRIPTION:The Kleinfamilie\, or “nuclear family\,” endures as a core structure that helps to define human relations. With roots in the eighteenth century\, the Kleinfamilie provided a social and economic foundation for the rise of the modern nation state. However\, the heterogeneous and multidimensional ways individuals and communities connect with one another today require a broader focus. A more fluid and encompassing term\, “kinship\,” offers a way of seeing and describing those ties that extend beyond the nuclear family and are by nature shifting and\ntemporary.\n\nUsing kinship as a framework\, Heidi Schlipphacke’s book The Aesthetics of Kinship: Form and Family in the Long Eighteenth Century (Bucknell University Press\, 2023) reexamines 18th-century German novels and dramas to uncover alternative affinities that are hidden when exclusively considered through the walled-off Kleinfamilie. Sclipphacke’s investigation belongs to a larger body of recent scholarly work seeking to reconceive of  repurpose the term “kinship.” For example\, Jennifer Evans’s The Queer Art of History: Queer Kinship after Fascism (Duke University Press\, 2023) deploys kinship as an analytic category to demonstrate how queer and trans people in postwar and contemporary Germany navigated citizenship\, love\, and public and family life. A broader investigation into kinship\, Adele E. Clarke’s and Donna Harraway’s edited volume\nMaking Kin Not Population: Reconceiving Generations (The University of Chicago Press\, 2018) contemplates questions of reproductive and environmental justice to\nconsider how we establish personal and public connections today. Building on recent interventions like these\, this conference will approach kinship as an interdisciplinary tool for exploring relational networks and the formation of personal and collective identity within–and in opposition to–“Western\,” modern\, white\, heterosexual\, and even anthropocentric norms.\n\nPROGRAM: \n\nFriday\, October 30th\nPalmer Commons\, Great Lakes North\n\n3:00 pm \nKeynote: Heidi Schlipphacke\nTitle: Kinship in Space and Time\n\n4:30 pm\nCoffee and Tea Break\n\n4:45 pm: Panel 1: Loss\, Fracture\, and Memory\n● Henrique Carvalho Pereira\, Der andere Fehl\n● Emma Stratman\, Wer über die Märchen lacht\, war nie in Not: On Obstinacy and the\nFairytale in the Work of Alexander Kluge\n● Nathan Bailey\, Seismic Epiphanies: Utopian Modes of Caring and Nursing in Heinrich\nvon Kleist‘s Das Erdbeben in Chili\nRespondent: Ella Wilhelm\n\n\nSaturday\, October 31st\nPalmer Commons\, Great Lakes North\n\n8:00 am\nBreakfast\n\n8:45 am: Panel 2: Nation and Empire\n● Hannah Edwards\, Kinship and Kingship: Heraklean Affinities and Diplomacy in Ancient\nMacedonia\n● Sam Farmer\, Partisan Places and Anti-Fascism in the (Post-)Yugoslav Family on Film\n● Deborah Pomeranz\, The Klein-Familie on Wheels: Race\, Genre\, and Kinship in Turn of\nthe Century Popular Performance (Deborah Pomeranz)\n● Ibrahim Adissa Owoo\, Orphans of the Empire: Colonial Kinship and Diasporic Belonging\nin La Saison de l’ombre of Léonora Miano\nRespondent: Kristin Dickinson\n\n10:15 am: Coffee and Tea Break\n\n10:30 am: Panel 3: Female Kinship\n● Tamar Gutfeld\, Daughters of 1930: Authority\, Crisis and Kinship in Gilgi eine von uns\n(Keun\, 1931) and Kuhle Wampe (Dudow and Brecht\, 1932)\n● Mathilda Trausch\, Flying Witches: Gossip and Alternative Female Kinship in Helma\nSanders Brahms’ Deutschland\, bleiche Mutter (1980)\n● Maria Zahner\, Mothers and Daughters in the Holocaust: reading Ruth Klüger and\nCordelia Edvardson\nRespondent: Kerstin Barndt\n\n12:00 pm: Lunch\n\n1:00 pm: Panel 4: Kinship in 20th Century Literature\n● Kehinde Sowunmi\, Witnessing the Wall: Narrative Kinship and the Implicated Reader in\nMarlen Haushofer’s Die Wand\n● Ruth Ireti Falaiye\, Kinship and Transatlantic Friendship in Kafka’s Das Urteil\n● Olivia Gilbert\, Lateral Affinities: Sibling Sociality in Robert Musil’s Man Without Qualities\n(1930-1934)\nRespondent: Johannes von Moltke\n\n2:30: Closing Remarks

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar |  Fundamental Physics from Large-Scale Structure Cosmology
DESCRIPTION:I will present a program for extracting cosmological information by combining effective field theory techniques with data from galaxy surveys. I will highlight previous successes of this program and share new results from my independent re-analyses of the public DESI survey data\, which incorporate additional information from higher-order statistics. These results include new measurements of fundamental cosmological parameters and tight constraints on neutrino masses\, cosmic inflation\, dark matter\, and the dark energy equation of state. I will argue that the dark energy results may hint at new a fundamental force between dark matter and dark energy\, which can be tested with upcoming large-scale structure data.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Etale Homotopy and Higher Obstructions to Rational Points
DESCRIPTION:The étale topology on schemes is a testament to the influence of algebraic topology on algebraic geometry. Étale realizations of topological invariants\, such as the fundamental group and singular cohomology\, played a central role in the development of french-school algebraic geometry. This exposé will tell the story of the étale homotopy type of a scheme\, which provides a general framework for realizing homotopy-theoretic constructions in étale algebraic geometry. As an application of this\, I will present an obstruction theory for finding rational points on varieties. At the level of $\pi_1$ this theory will recover classical obstructions due to Grothendieck. I'll conclude with the question of exhibiting explicit examples in which the classical $\pi_1$-obstruction vanishes\, but higher obstruction classes prevent the existence of rational points.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Zamolodchikov Periodic Cluster Algebras
DESCRIPTION:In 2007\, Fomin and Zelevinsky introduced the bipartite belt\, a sequence of bipartite cluster mutations whose exchange relations form a discrete dynamical system. When the system is periodic\, we call this Zamolodchikov periodicity. In this talk\, we discuss the classification of all Zamolodchikov periodic cluster algebras\, with connections to W-graphs\, root systems\, and maximal green sequences. We observe that there is a natural red-blue statistic on the associated tropical dynamics that is homomesic\, and use laminations to prove it for finite type. This gives a natural bijection between colored mutations in the dynamical system and roots in the associated root system.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Ken Ridgway
DESCRIPTION:During the last two decades there has been a focus of integrated research by many geoscientists on the collision and subduction of the Yakutat microplate/oceanic plateau in southern Alaska. These studies build on the pioneering work of USGS geologists George Plafker\, Don Miller\, Don Richter\, and others. In this talk\, I will focus mainly on the sedimentary record of Cenozoic flat slab subduction processes in southern Alaska.  We will first discuss the sedimentary strata that were deposited directly on the Yakutat oceanic plateau that forms the lower plate of the convergent boundary. The lower plate strata archive the record of initial collision farther to the south\, strike-slip transport along the Cordilleran margin\, and ongoing subduction of the oceanic plateau beneath Alaska. Large parts of the lower plate strata have been incorporated into the upper plate of the southern Alaska convergent margin along the active collisional zone. We will then discuss the record of flat slab subduction processes on the upper plate of the southern Alaska convergent boundary. Flat slab subduction has had a profound impact on the formation and exhumation of sedimentary basins\, the locations of volcanic arc systems\, and the generation of the highest topography in North America. I will end the talk by briefly discussing ongoing collaborative research projects in the northern Cordillera.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Beyond the Seas Blue
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/E775e\n\nIn this lecture\, Kazmi will discuss *Beyond the Seas Blue* alongside earlier projects that connect contemporary technologies to histories of science\, material transformation\, and knowledge production in the Middle East and South Asia.\n\nAsma Kazmi is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the relationships among art\, technology\, history\, and power. Through installations\, video\, sculpture\, virtual environments\, and collaborative research\, she examines how contemporary technologies emerge from longer histories of science\, extraction\, trade\, and knowledge production. Her work centers connections between the Middle East\, South Asia\, and the West\, often using archives\, material culture\, and speculative storytelling. Her newest project\, *Beyond the Seas Blue*\, traces lapis lazuli from the mines of Badakhshan through histories of pigment making\, museums\, colonial collecting\, and digital infrastructure. Kazmi is associate professor of art practice at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and teaches at the Berkeley Center for New Media.\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:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

SUMMARY:Performance:Telegraph Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Join us for \"Movie Night\" featuring a screening of the 1924 Buster Keaton silent film\, *Sherlock Jr.*\, with a film score by composer Stephen Prutsman performed live by the Telegraph Quartet with recent U-M doctoral graduate\, pianist Takeshi Nagayasu. The program also includes two other works influenced by film or staged works – Dimitri Shostakovich’s *Elegy* and *Polka*\, and Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s String Quartet No. 3 in D Major\, Op. 34.\n\nShostakovich wrote *Elegy* and its companion piece *Polka* in a single night in 1931. *Elegy* is the transcription of a haunting aria from his opera *Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk*\, while *Polka* is a version of a comical dance from his soccer-inspired ballet *The Golden Age*. These short pieces were lost for many years and not rediscovered until the 1980s when they were made available by the USSR State Copyright Agency. Korngold’s String Quartet No. 3 was his last chamber music work\, completed in 1945. Korngold was one of the most influential composers in Hollywood\, and in his third string quartet he quoted from his scores for films including *Between Two Worlds* (1944)\, *The Sea Wolf* (1941)\, and *Devotion* (1943). A stylistically versatile composer\, Prutsman has written scores to accompany several of Buster Keaton’s silent films – many of which are decidedly comedic. For this story\, which involves a dream sequence\, a secret theft\, a wild villain chase\, and pining after a love interest\, Prustman turns to an assortment of tones\, rhythms\, and musical techniques in order to emphasize the emotional stakes throughout the film.\n\nABOUT TELEGRAPH QUARTET\n\nThe Telegraph (Eric Chin and Joseph Maile\, violins\; Pei-Ling Lin\, viola\; Jeremiah Shaw\, cello) formed in 2013 with an equal passion for standard and contemporary chamber music repertoire\; they rose quickly\, winning the prestigious 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. Today\, they perform across the United States and abroad\, at venues including New York City’s Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, and Town Hall\; San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre\; the Philharmonie de Paris\; and at festivals including the Chautauqua Institute\, Music in the Vineyards in Napa Valley\, and the Emilia Romagna Festival in Italy.\n\nThe Telegraph Quartet released its celebrated debut album *Into the Light* in 2018 and is currently recording an extensive three-album series titled *20th Century Vantage Points* for Azica Records\, exploring string quartets of the 20th century. The first volume\, *Divergent Paths* (2022)\, features two works that (to the best of the Quartet’s knowledge) have never been recorded on the same album before: Maurice Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major and Arnold Schoenberg’s String Quartet No. 1 in D minor\, Op. 7. In August 2025\, the Telegraph released the second volume\, *Edge of the Storm*\, which examines the turbulent years of war and its aftermath from 1941-1951 through string quartets by Grażyna Bacewicz\, Benjamin Britten\, and Mieczysław Weinberg. Volume three will be released in fall 2027. In addition\, the Telegraph released a recording of the string quartets of Robert Sirota in summer 2026 (Azica Records) and will release a recording of Kenji Bunch string quartets in spring 2027 (Phenotypic Records). \n\nBeyond the concert stage\, the Telegraph Quartet seeks to spread its music through education and audience engagement. The Quartet has given master classes\, served as artists-in-residence\, and launched ChamberFEAST!\, a chamber music workshop in Taiwan. In fall 2020\, Telegraph launched an online video project called TeleLab\, in which the ensemble collectively breaks down the components of a movement from various works for quartet. In the summers of 2022 and 2024\, the Telegraph Quartet traveled to Vienna to work with Schoenberg expert Henk Guittart in conjunction with the Arnold Schoenberg Center\, researching all of Schoenberg's string quartets. \n  \nhttp://www.telegraphquartet.com

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Alternative Affinities: Constellations of Kinship and Community
DESCRIPTION:The Kleinfamilie\, or “nuclear family\,” endures as a core structure that helps to define human relations. With roots in the eighteenth century\, the Kleinfamilie provided a social and economic foundation for the rise of the modern nation state. However\, the heterogeneous and multidimensional ways individuals and communities connect with one another today require a broader focus. A more fluid and encompassing term\, “kinship\,” offers a way of seeing and describing those ties that extend beyond the nuclear family and are by nature shifting and\ntemporary.\n\nUsing kinship as a framework\, Heidi Schlipphacke’s book The Aesthetics of Kinship: Form and Family in the Long Eighteenth Century (Bucknell University Press\, 2023) reexamines 18th-century German novels and dramas to uncover alternative affinities that are hidden when exclusively considered through the walled-off Kleinfamilie. Sclipphacke’s investigation belongs to a larger body of recent scholarly work seeking to reconceive of  repurpose the term “kinship.” For example\, Jennifer Evans’s The Queer Art of History: Queer Kinship after Fascism (Duke University Press\, 2023) deploys kinship as an analytic category to demonstrate how queer and trans people in postwar and contemporary Germany navigated citizenship\, love\, and public and family life. A broader investigation into kinship\, Adele E. Clarke’s and Donna Harraway’s edited volume\nMaking Kin Not Population: Reconceiving Generations (The University of Chicago Press\, 2018) contemplates questions of reproductive and environmental justice to\nconsider how we establish personal and public connections today. Building on recent interventions like these\, this conference will approach kinship as an interdisciplinary tool for exploring relational networks and the formation of personal and collective identity within–and in opposition to–“Western\,” modern\, white\, heterosexual\, and even anthropocentric norms.\n\nPROGRAM: \n\nFriday\, October 30th\nPalmer Commons\, Great Lakes North\n\n3:00 pm \nKeynote: Heidi Schlipphacke\nTitle: Kinship in Space and Time\n\n4:30 pm\nCoffee and Tea Break\n\n4:45 pm: Panel 1: Loss\, Fracture\, and Memory\n● Henrique Carvalho Pereira\, Der andere Fehl\n● Emma Stratman\, Wer über die Märchen lacht\, war nie in Not: On Obstinacy and the\nFairytale in the Work of Alexander Kluge\n● Nathan Bailey\, Seismic Epiphanies: Utopian Modes of Caring and Nursing in Heinrich\nvon Kleist‘s Das Erdbeben in Chili\nRespondent: Ella Wilhelm\n\n\nSaturday\, October 31st\nPalmer Commons\, Great Lakes North\n\n8:00 am\nBreakfast\n\n8:45 am: Panel 2: Nation and Empire\n● Hannah Edwards\, Kinship and Kingship: Heraklean Affinities and Diplomacy in Ancient\nMacedonia\n● Sam Farmer\, Partisan Places and Anti-Fascism in the (Post-)Yugoslav Family on Film\n● Deborah Pomeranz\, The Klein-Familie on Wheels: Race\, Genre\, and Kinship in Turn of\nthe Century Popular Performance (Deborah Pomeranz)\n● Ibrahim Adissa Owoo\, Orphans of the Empire: Colonial Kinship and Diasporic Belonging\nin La Saison de l’ombre of Léonora Miano\nRespondent: Kristin Dickinson\n\n10:15 am: Coffee and Tea Break\n\n10:30 am: Panel 3: Female Kinship\n● Tamar Gutfeld\, Daughters of 1930: Authority\, Crisis and Kinship in Gilgi eine von uns\n(Keun\, 1931) and Kuhle Wampe (Dudow and Brecht\, 1932)\n● Mathilda Trausch\, Flying Witches: Gossip and Alternative Female Kinship in Helma\nSanders Brahms’ Deutschland\, bleiche Mutter (1980)\n● Maria Zahner\, Mothers and Daughters in the Holocaust: reading Ruth Klüger and\nCordelia Edvardson\nRespondent: Kerstin Barndt\n\n12:00 pm: Lunch\n\n1:00 pm: Panel 4: Kinship in 20th Century Literature\n● Kehinde Sowunmi\, Witnessing the Wall: Narrative Kinship and the Implicated Reader in\nMarlen Haushofer’s Die Wand\n● Ruth Ireti Falaiye\, Kinship and Transatlantic Friendship in Kafka’s Das Urteil\n● Olivia Gilbert\, Lateral Affinities: Sibling Sociality in Robert Musil’s Man Without Qualities\n(1930-1934)\nRespondent: Johannes von Moltke\n\n2:30: Closing Remarks

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:Conference / Symposium:Perspectives on Contemporary Korea | Transpacific Lives in an American Century: Ilhan New as Method
DESCRIPTION:The Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan is proud to host an international conference focused on the life and work of Ilhan New as part of the Center’s Perspectives on Contemporary Korea series. A national hero in Korea and the University of Michigan’s most famous Korean alumnus\, Ilhan New’s remarkable biography is well known. Born in Pyongyang\, New came to the United States at a young age and received primary and secondary education in the Midwest. In Hastings\, Nebraska\, New attended the Korean youth military school established by Park Yong-man in 1909. From Hastings\, New moved to Detroit and then to nearby Ann Arbor to pursue a degree in business and commerce at the University of Michigan. While studying at Michigan New met his future spouse and trailblazing partner Mary Woo. In 1922\, New and a friend from the University of Michigan named Wally Smith launched the brand La Choy and turned a seemingly impossible chance encounter into one of the most spectacular examples of the American Dream at Smith’s grocery in Detroit. New returned to his homeland in 1926 at the age of 31 and established a successful pharmaceutical company named Yuhan yanghaeng. In the final years of the Pacific War\, New once again demonstrated his ability to shape new forms of Asian\, American\, and Asian American agency as a consultant for the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS). After liberation in 1945\, New made significant contributions to the rebuilding of South Korea through education\, public health\, and philanthropy.\n\nFar from taking New as an extraordinary individual who led an exceptional life\, the conference will approach New’s biography as a point of entry that opens onto several important avenues for thinking about Korean\, American\, and Asian American histories of the modern era\, as well as a method for interrogating these histories’ complex imbrications with one another. Particular attention will be paid to the lesser known forces that shaped New’s trajectory and the transformative impact of New’s life on these and other historical forces. Using Ilhan New not as case study but as method\, this conference will examine\, among other things\, the global footprint of Midwestern values and religiosity\, the ethnicity of global industry and global nature of ethnic industry\, fighting for a nation that is both singular and plural\, and Korea’s diasporic century.\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*

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:Reverie: The Student-led Exhibition Committee Fall 2026 Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nA reverie is a state between waking and dreaming\, a moment when the mind drifts beyond the immediate. It is a space where memory\, imagination\, desire\, and reality can overlap\, distort\, and take on new forms. In these moments\, the familiar can become strange\, and the ordinary can become something unexpected.\n\nReverie brings together student works that explore the space between what is known and what is felt. Across painting\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, animation\, and mixed media\, the artists move through imagined landscapes\, intimate encounters\, memories\, figures\, and fragments of the everyday. These works blur the boundaries between observation and imagination\, allowing emotion and perception to reshape what we recognize.\n\nRather than depicting dreams literally\, Reverie considers dreaming as a way of seeing. The works reflect moments of escape\, introspection\, fantasy\, and transformation\, where the subconscious can surface and reality becomes open to interpretation. \n\nReverie was conceived and curated by members of the Student-led Exhibition Committee (SEC)\, and features work by eight SEC members at the Stamps School of Art & Design. The exhibition includes ten works across oil on canvas\, oil pastel\, ceramic\, digital art\, digital animation\, and mixed media.

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:Performance:Murray Hill
DESCRIPTION:One mic\, one man\, one band and a lifetime of material… what could possibly go right?\n\nFrom the Margins to the Marquee—One Night Only!\n\nCelebrating the release of his debut memoir Showbiz! My Life as a Middle-Aged Man\, comedian Murray Hill hits the road with a one-of-a-kind show that is part cabaret\, part stand-up\, and part behind-the-curtain tell-all. The self-proclaimed “hardest working middle-aged man in show business” brings his signature mix of razor-sharp wit\, rampant ad-libbing\, and heartfelt storytelling to the stage for a night of big laughs and hard-won wisdom from an outsider who made it his way. This show marks Murray’s debut comedy show in Ann Arbor!\n\nBacked by his swinging live band THE BALONEY SANDWICHES\, Murray Hill turns every show into a full-throttle cabaret concert comedy spectacle. With retro flair and a wink of mischief\, he works the room seamlessly between storytelling\, crowd work\, and musical moments. It’s loose\, unpredictable\, and alive\, where anything can happen and usually does. \n\nWith humor\, heart\, and zero filter\, Murray proves that making it on your own terms is the greatest show of all. Showbiz!\n\n\nMURRAY’S VIP PACKAGE:\nIncludes a meet-and-greet\, a photo with him\, hardcopy book of Showbiz! My Life as a Middle-Aged Man with a personalized book signing\, and a Showbiz! bookmark.\n\n\nABOUT MURRAY’S MEMOIR:\nIn his powerful debut memoir Showbiz! My Life as a Middle-Aged Man (Simon & Schuster’s Gallery Books)\, beloved comedian Murray Hill opens up for the first time about how a painful past led to an unwavering commitment to spread joy—one rimshot at a time. \n\nMurray on his book: “Let’s just say the world could use a little more heart and a lot more honesty right now. I’ve always believed in chosen family\, resilience\, and a well-timed punchline—this book is all three. It’s not just about where I’ve been\, it’s about how we keep going.”
