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.

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.

Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form\, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5\, 2026\, through February 28\, 2027\, during regular museum hours (Tuesday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM\, and Saturday–Sunday\, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM\; closed Mondays and university holidays.* UID:153842-21916447@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ancient Rome,archaeology,art,Art History,collections,cultural heritage,Exhibition,Faculty,Free,history,Mediterranean,museum,Research,roman empire,visual arts LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261007T184104 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261115T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261115T151500 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:optiMize Social Innovation Challenge: Workshop 5 DESCRIPTION:Workshop #5 is all about creating something your stakeholders can respond to and provide feedback on.

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.

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.

Over the years\, he’s tallied north of 1 billion streams\, moved 1 million-plus albums worldwide\, and scored a gold certification for the single “I’d Rather Be With You.” His music has appeared in over 200 films\, television series\, and commercials. In addition to multiple showstopping appearances on Ellen (who also enlisted him to perform at her wedding) and Today Show\, and performances on The Tonight Show\, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!\, and Conan\, he contributed “Brand New Day” to a commercial in support of the troops at the request of First Ladies Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden. He’s played to sold out crowds around the globe and shared the stage with the likes of Ed Sheeran\, Sara Bareilles\, Ingrid Michaelson\, Sheryl Crow\, Tori Amos and more. Not to mention\, he’s a staunch philanthropist who supports Little Kids Rock and North Shore Animal League America (NSALA)\, among others. Thus far his catalog consists of nine full-length offerings highlighted by fan favorites such as We Were Here\, Simple Times\, Underwater\, Wax Wings\, and Here\, Right Now.\n \nFollowing the release of his 2021 acclaimed album The Ghost and The Wall\, Joshua left his material existence in the rearview\, grabbed a backpack\, packed his guitar\, picked up a pen and a pad\, hit the road in search of new stories to tell. Those stories comprise though the world will tell me so\, volumes one & two which were released early 2023. During 2025\, he turned the page on the next chapter of his career and life with his tenth full-length LP and first independent album since 2017\, One Day Home. Immersing himself in the process mind\, body\, and soul\, he pored over these 13 tracks\, perfecting each moment and co-producing six tracks with Wally Gagel.

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.

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.” UID:150406-21909236@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/150406 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Arab Heritage Month,Art,ArtsRx,Culture,Detroit,Diversity,Exhibition,Free,Middle East Studies,North Campus,Visual Arts,Women's Studies LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Connections Gallery Concourse Level CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261026T162101 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261116T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261116T090000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Oxford Houses (2026-2027) (Housing) DESCRIPTION: UID:150871-21916968@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/150871 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:Community Center CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260806T162236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261116T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261116T170000 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.

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 UID:153178-21915322@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153178 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:advocacy,african and african american studies,american culture,anthropology,Art,artists and curators,photography LOCATION:Lane Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260915T123553 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261116T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261116T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Breakfast\, Luncheon\, and Dinner: Dining Out in the 1910s\, 1920s\, and 1930s DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a buffet selection of early twentieth century menus from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

They are a combination of certainty and ephemerality\, as if hinged between living and loss. The specificity of Ueno’s sculptural works reads like poetry. Ueno’s installation offers visitors time away\, for contemplation\, to draw inward\, to come inside\, to ask the question\, “How are art and the everyday intertwined?” Honoring the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence\, one becomes a continuation of the other. The artist intends the space to offer a restorative and meditative experience.\n\nThis exhibition includes artworks created from natural materials foraged by the artist while in artist residency in Ann Arbor.\n\n*The title refers to the opening line of Hōjōki\, written by 13th-century Japanese Buddhist monk Kamo no Chōmei: \"The flow of the river is ceaseless\, and the water is never the same…\"* UID:149763-21907135@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149763 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

This hands-on workshop. led by Kwok-leong Tang from Harvard University\, uses those mistakes to explain how the technology works\, so that participants can decide when to trust it and when to use it.\n\nNo technical background is needed\, and you can attend in person or register to join via Zoom (https://myumi.ch/zNnZM). A laptop is required for in-person participants — the Hatcher Gallery Lab is equipped with laptops\, but please feel free to bring your own.\n\nWhen an AI tool gives a wrong answer\, there are two possible reasons: the model itself cannot do the task\, or we have not given it what it needs. The workshop teaches how to tell these apart. First\, we will run a small AI model on our own laptops and look inside it: how it reads text\, how it chooses each word\, and why it can sound certain and still be wrong. Next\, we will see how clearer instructions\, more context\, or a connected tool can fix some mistakes but not others. Finally\, we will practice a simple way to test an AI answer: ask the same question several times and check the results against a reliable source.

Experiments change\, priorities compete\, collaborators have different timelines\, and unexpected results can reshape the plan entirely. Yet researchers are still responsible for keeping complex projects moving forward.Research in Motion is a two-part professional development series designed to help graduate students and postdoctoral fellows apply practical project-management approaches to the realities of biomedical research. Participants will explore strategies for planning and prioritizing work\, coordinating projects\, communicating progress\, adapting when plans change\, and using emerging technologies responsibly.The series connects day-to-day research challenges with transferable professional competencies—including project management\, communication\, collaboration\, strategic planning\, documentation\, and professional judgment—that are valuable across careers in academia\, industry\, government\, and other sectors.Participants may attend either session independently or attend both to build a broader toolkit for managing research projects effectively.If you have any questions\, please reach out Dr. Ioannis Chremos (ichremos@umich.edu)\n UID:152620-21914190@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/152620 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Sessions LOCATION:VIRTUAL CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261026T162110 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261116T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261116T120000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MADS Placement Process Explained DESCRIPTION:Are you trying to figure out which placement test might be right for you?

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.

No laptop or setup is needed for in-person attendees.\n\nThe main demonstration is a full pipeline that turns printed materials into structured data: scanned pages go through OCR (turning page images into text)\, and the text then becomes a table of people\, places\, and dates\, each checked against reference databases such as Wikidata and CBDB (China Biographical Database Project). Dr. Tang will also show other tools he has built this way\, including a batch OCR tool\, a converter for historical Chinese\, Japanese\, and Korean dates\, a tool that suggests Library of Congress subject headings\, and classroom history games made from primary sources. Throughout\, we will look at how to check the agent's work and where this approach breaks down.\n\nFollowing the demonstration\, 3:45-5:00 pm\, Dr. Tang will host an optional office hour for in-person participants who are interested in discussing their own projects related to AI and East Asian studies. This informal session offers an opportunity to receive feedback\, explore possible approaches\, and consider both the potential and limitations of AI tools for your projects.

What can the tale--a repository for the sacred tradition of hula pele and its healing traditions-- tell us today\, in this moment of eco-urgency\, about relationships between bodies\, mele (songs)\, and places?\n\nSusan Najita is an associate professor of English and Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies in the Department of American Culture at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. Her first book\, Decolonizing Cultures in the Pacific\, explored the ways that indigenous Pacific writers engage the traumatic history of colonization and empire. Her current project is entitled Genealogies of Place: Colonialism\, Embodiment\, and the Making of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. \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 UID:149696-21906962@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149696 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Culture,Global Engagement,Health & Wellness,Research,Social Science Research LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - Room 6050 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260928T173242 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261116T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261116T170000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Dynamics seminar DESCRIPTION:TBA UID:152951-21914830@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/152951 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dynamics LOCATION:East Hall - 3096 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261012T130002 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261116T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261116T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Arithmetic intersections on non-split Cartan modular curves DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Take two CM elliptic curves over a number field\, each equipped with a level structure preserved by all endomorphisms. At which primes $p$ does there exist an isomorphism between the elliptic curves mod $p$ that preserves the level structures? This question was answered for $\Gamma_0(N)$ level structure by Gross\, Kohnen\, and Zagier in 1987. A key step in their proof is showing that an isomorphism mod $p$ determines embeddings of the (quadratic) CM orders into a common (quaternion) Eichler order. In this talk\, we will discuss what changes in the argument when we replace $\Gamma_0(N)$ with the normalizer of a non-split Cartan subgroup. This is joint work with Elie Studnia and Jan Vonk.

Please RSVP.\n\nMcKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series\nDisparities in health and healthcare have been are prevalent\, particularly in underserved or minority communities\, as a result of a variety of factors such as birthplace\, housing\, education\, race\, age\, sexual identity and other nonmedical factors. These factors are commonly referred to as the social determinants of health (SDOH). As a result of SDOH\, quality healthcare and treatment can be difficult to access for many who don’t fall into the dominant group and must confront barriers to receive treatment.\n\nExamples of barriers to adequate healthcare treatment include poverty\, lack of access to quality education or positive social activities\, and unhealthy environmental factors. These factors must be addressed in order to achieve positive health outcomes and equity in access to healthcare and treatment for all. To help illuminate and educate around issues involving social determinants of health\, the College of Pharmacy and the McKesson Foundation have teamed up to launch the McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series.\n\nFor the past two years the College of Pharmacy at the University of Michigan in partnership with the McKesson Foundation has hosted a speaker series based on the topic of health equity. The McKesson Foundation is dedicated to advancing health outcomes for all with the mission to removing barriers to quality healthcare across the country\, especially for vulnerable and underserved communities. The College of Pharmacy also has a longstanding history of fighting to address addressing disparities in healthcare and is a leader in the fight for equitable healthcare for all individuals. This alignment in values and mission of both organizations led to the provision awarding of a grant to resulted in the College of Pharmacy being awarded a grant in 2022 to launch what we now call the McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series\, with the goal of educating the UM community and inspiring those around us to find solutions that address inequities in healthcare and beyond.\n\nAbout our Funder\, the McKesson Foundation\nThe McKesson Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to improving health outcomes for vulnerable and underserved populations. It focuses on initiatives that address healthcare disparities\, promote patient-centered care\, and support cancer care and survivorship. Through grants\, partnerships\, and employee-driven giving programs\, the foundation aims to foster innovative solutions that enhance community health and well-being.

Produced by Butch Walker (Taylor Swift\, Green Day\, Weezer) and recorded at his Nashville studio\, Kiah’s second full-length for Rounder Records merges her revelatory storytelling with a darkly cinematic twist on the rootsy alt-rock of her 2021 breakthrough Wary + Strange—an LP that landed on Rolling Stone’s list of the 25 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2021 and drew acclaim from major outlets like Pitchfork. With its sonic palette encompassing everything from fuzzed-out guitars and industrial-leaning beats to gilded pedal steel and Kiah’s exquisitely graceful banjo work\, Still + Bright makes for a vital new addition to a body of work largely dedicated to exploring the struggle and joy of true self-discovery.\n\nThe latest turn in a dynamic career that’s included joining Our Native Daughters (an all-women-of-color supergroup also featuring Rhiannon Giddens\, Leyla McCalla\, and Allison Russell)\, Still + Bright emerged from a deliberate transformation of the songwriting process Kiah adopted after composing her first song on a Fender acoustic at age 13. To that end\, the album marks her first time opening up her approach and working with co-writers\, including punk legend Tim Armstrong\, Sadler Vaden (a guitarist/vocalist for Jason Isbell’s 400 Unit)\, and former Pentatonix member Avi Kaplan. Although her third LP is an undeniable departure from the anguished emotionality of its predecessor (an album informed by losing her mother to suicide at age 17)\, Kiah imparts each track with a hypnotic intensity born from boldly stating her convictions. Revealing her rare ability to spin her fascinations into songs uncovering essential truths about human nature\, Still + Bright ultimately affirms her as an artist of both daring originality and uncompromising depth.

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:153178-21915323@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153178 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:advocacy,african and african american studies,american culture,anthropology,Art,artists and curators,photography LOCATION:Lane Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260915T123553 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261117T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261117T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Breakfast\, Luncheon\, and Dinner: Dining Out in the 1910s\, 1920s\, and 1930s DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a buffet selection of early twentieth century menus from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

They are a combination of certainty and ephemerality\, as if hinged between living and loss. The specificity of Ueno’s sculptural works reads like poetry. Ueno’s installation offers visitors time away\, for contemplation\, to draw inward\, to come inside\, to ask the question\, “How are art and the everyday intertwined?” Honoring the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence\, one becomes a continuation of the other. The artist intends the space to offer a restorative and meditative experience.\n\nThis exhibition includes artworks created from natural materials foraged by the artist while in artist residency in Ann Arbor.\n\n*The title refers to the opening line of Hōjōki\, written by 13th-century Japanese Buddhist monk Kamo no Chōmei: \"The flow of the river is ceaseless\, and the water is never the same…\"* UID:149763-21907136@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149763 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media.

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.

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.

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.

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 lecture presents the early stages of a new research project on the role of animals in prison memoirs from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Rather than offering definitive conclusions\, the talk will outline a preliminary research agenda and explore how encounters with animals may have shaped experiences of captivity\, survival\, and humanity within carceral systems. I begin with a contemporary example from the United States\, where incarcerated individuals in prison dog-training programs prepare service animals for people with disabilities\, creating an unexpected relationship between imprisonment\, care\, rehabilitation\, and the human–animal bond.\n\nThe lecture then places this phenomenon in historical perspective by examining memoirs and oral histories of political prisoners\, Gulag survivors\, and dissidents from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. My goal is to identify recurring patterns and raise questions rather than present a finished interpretation. In these accounts\, animals emerge as companions\, witnesses\, sources of comfort\, reminders of life beyond prison walls\, and reflections of prisoners' own vulnerability\, while also occupying roles within systems of labor\, deprivation\, violence\, and survival. The lecture aims to open a broader discussion about the place of animals in carceral history and suggest directions for future research.\n\nAnna Müller is a 2026-27 Norman Freehling Visiting Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and U-M Dearborn Professor\; Social Sciences.\n\n*Photo credit: Eastern State Penitentiary* UID:149787-21907185@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149787 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:History,Humanities LOCATION:202 S.

Through examples of tutor prompts and instructions\, she will show the pedagogical challenges faculty set out to address\, the choices they made in designing their tutors\, and what they learned from using them with students.\n\nDrawing on a year of student–tutor interactions\, she will also examine evidence of how students use faculty-built AI tutors to practice behaviors that can be difficult to foster and observe\, including metacognition\, error processing\, and self-directed learning. The findings suggest a compelling possibility: Thoughtfully designed AI may create new opportunities for students to practice the difficult thinking that meaningful learning requires.\n\n\n*About AI Futures Keynote Speaker Series*\nThe Center for Academic Innovation is convening leading voices in academia to examine emerging applications of artificial intelligence in higher education.

One of the ways they do this is by considering the world around them\, paying attention to social issues and starting to understand their society and their place in it. Laws and policies signal to young people what society thinks of their value\, their role in society and their opportunities for the future. But the experience of growing up in the post-Roe v. Wade era looks very different from that before the 50-year precedent was overturned in 2022. Following the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court decision\, two-thirds of U.S. adolescents now live in a state with severely restricted or no legal abortion access. As a result\, today’s young people are coming of age in what has been termed an “era of rights retractions.” This talk will provide a data-based account of how\, following Dobbs\, the experience of adolescence and young adulthood in America has fundamentally changed and how rights retractions are not only affecting those who need an abortion – they are shaping an entire generation.\n\nBiography:\nDr. Julie Maslowsky is Associate Professor of Health Behavior and Clinical Sciences at the University of Michigan School of Nursing\, Associate Professor of Health Behavior and Health Equity at the University of Michigan School of Public Health\, and Research Associate Professor at the UM Institute for Social Research. She is a developmental psychologist and population health scientist who studies adolescent health\, with a focus on sexual and reproductive health including contraception and abortion. Her research integrates adolescent developmental science with population and reproductive health to inform developmentally appropriate policies and practices on adolescent sexual and reproductive health.

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.

This event will take place in the Screening Room at the Michigan Theater starting at 5:30 pm.\n\nFollowing each film\, there will be a panel discussion with Lin\, moderated by Ian Shin (History) and Fangfei Miao (Dance). \n\nTen Times Better - Runtime 30m\n\nFrom ballet to Broadway to blackjack\, George Lee of Las Vegas has seen it all in his 89 years\, but never had his moment to shine. Until now. This short documentary elevates George’s contribution to dance\, including originating the Chinese role in George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker and working with director Gene Kelly in Flower Drum Song. Plans are underway for a national PBS broadcast of the film\, which has been featured in the New York Times and AARP magazine.\n\nAbout Face - Runtime 1hr\n\nThis feature-length documentary spotlights Phil Chan and Georgina Pazcoguin\, two NYC dancers of Asian descent who founded the Final Bow for Yellowface movement to jettison offensive Asian stereotypes\, including dancing in yellowface\, from classical ballet. The pair is taking on entrenched tradition and political pushback as they shine a critical spotlight on The Nutcracker and other beloved classics like La Bayadere in this vivid account of cultural missteps and creative evolution.\n\nJennifer Lin is a veteran journalist\, who was stationed in Beijing\, New York and Washington\, D.C. for The Philadelphia Inquirer. Beyond Yellowface is her third film project. In 2013\, she produced Geil of Doylestown: Forgotten Explorer. In 2021\, she produced and co-directed Beethoven in Beijing\, which premiered nationally on PBS’s Great Performances and was a finalist for the Library of Congress Lavine/Ken Burns Prize for Film. \n\nFangfei Miao\, an international dance theorist\, choreographer\, and dancer\, is Assistant Professor of Dance in the School of Music\, Theatre\, & Dance at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, where she teaches both seminar and physical practice courses. Miao’s scholarly research weaves dance and performance studies\, Chinese and East Asian studies\, and critical inquiries into globalization. Her in-progress monograph examines the productive historical “mis-steps” engendered by Sino-US cross-cultural dance transmissions in Reform-Era China (1978-the present).\n\nIan Shin is a social and cultural historian of the United States and Associate Professor of History and American Culture. His research and teaching focus on Asian American history and on the history of the U.S. in the Pacific World between 1850 and 1950. Shin comes to this work as a first-generation American who was born in Hong Kong\, grew up in California\, and spent the past decade and a half on the East Coast. His work is guided not only by his training in historical methods but also by my dedication to critical race and ethnic studies. He is the author of Imperial Stewards: Chinese Art and the Making of America's Pacific Century (Stanford University Press\, 2025).\n\nThis event is free and open to the public.

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 tells the story of “sundown towns” where residents drove out or actively excluded specific groups from residing there (from being in a town after sunset) through ordinances\, signs\, and acts of violence. Sundown towns excluded Black people\, and in some cases\, Chinese Americans\, Jewish people\, Native Americans\, Latinas/os and other racialized groups. Since the 19th century these towns have been prevalent throughout the U.S. and especially in the Midwest\, West\, and East.\n\nThese policies did not completely disappear over time. The attitudes that drove them morphed into housing “covenants\,” redlining\, discrimination within the post-war FHA and discrimination in the granting of bank loans. The results of these decisions and policies haunt our country to this very day. *Don’t Let the Sun* will shine a light on this difficult chapter in America’s ever-expanding history\, and help audiences engage productively with “hard” histories.\n\nMr. Loewen’s *Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism* is the definitive history of these phenomena. Another source is the “History and Social Justice” website launched by Dr. Loewen\, which has had nearly one million visitors over the last three years\, and continues to amass cases and first-hand accounts. Librettist Richard Wesley’s text is inspired by the voices of individuals impacted by sundown towns and more recent policies\, examining the harm experienced by both the excluded and the excluders\; and recent efforts by many sundown towns to reckon with their past and shape a better future.\n\n*\"Don't Let the Sun\" was commissioned with support from an Arts Initiative Project Support (AIPS) grant\, an Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration (ARIA) grant\, the U-M Brehm Choral Commissioning Fund and generous support from the Department of History\, the Department of American Culture\, and the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.*\n\n–––\n*Parking / Traffic alert for attendees:*\nhttps://smtd.umich.edu/2026-construction\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTISTS\n\nTHEODORE WIPRUD is a composer\, an educator\, and a researcher on the musical community’s work toward equity and inclusion. Many of his works address social issues\, including vocal works like *American Journal* (Robert Hayden) and *A Georgia Song* (Maya Angelou)\; and orchestral works like his Violin Concerto *“Katrina”\; Wind of Many Voices*\, responding to the troubled history of South Dakota\; and a second Violin Concerto *“on the brink”* exploring climate grief and climate action. \n\nRICHARD WESLEY is a playwright and screenwriter whose many plays deal with social-historical moments. He wrote the libretto for Anthony Davis’ Pulitzer Prize-winning opera *Central Park Five*. Mr. Wesley has received numerous awards including the NAACP Image Award for Best Picture (for *Uptown Saturday Night*) and the National Black Theater Festival’s August Wilson Playwright Award. He teaches at New York University.

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.

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.” UID:150406-21909238@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/150406 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Arab Heritage Month,Art,ArtsRx,Culture,Detroit,Diversity,Exhibition,Free,Middle East Studies,North Campus,Visual Arts,Women's Studies LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 18 - Connections Gallery Concourse Level CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260806T162236 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261118T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261118T170000 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.

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 UID:153178-21915324@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153178 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:advocacy,african and african american studies,american culture,anthropology,Art,artists and curators,photography LOCATION:Lane Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260915T123553 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261118T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261118T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Breakfast\, Luncheon\, and Dinner: Dining Out in the 1910s\, 1920s\, and 1930s DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a buffet selection of early twentieth century menus from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

They are a combination of certainty and ephemerality\, as if hinged between living and loss. The specificity of Ueno’s sculptural works reads like poetry. Ueno’s installation offers visitors time away\, for contemplation\, to draw inward\, to come inside\, to ask the question\, “How are art and the everyday intertwined?” Honoring the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence\, one becomes a continuation of the other. The artist intends the space to offer a restorative and meditative experience.\n\nThis exhibition includes artworks created from natural materials foraged by the artist while in artist residency in Ann Arbor.\n\n*The title refers to the opening line of Hōjōki\, written by 13th-century Japanese Buddhist monk Kamo no Chōmei: \"The flow of the river is ceaseless\, and the water is never the same…\"* UID:149763-21907137@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149763 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media.

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.

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.

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.

Rehabilitative Postsocialism\, Racialised Capital\, and Yearning for Crip Horizon DESCRIPTION:Drawing on her new book\, *Rehabilitative Postsocialism: Disability\, Sex\, and Race in Eastern Europe*\, Kateřina Kolářová will argue that postsocialism is essential to understanding neoliberal cultural politics\, economic structures\, and state policies worldwide. She will show how disability\, sexuality\, and race—though often rendered invisible—have shaped the postsocialist consensus in the Czech Republic and more broadly.\n\nThe talk will focus on how discourses of “inadaptability” have contributed to racialized abandonment. Kolářová will examine how particular understandings of disability helped establish an ideal of rehabilitated\, white postsocialist citizenship. She will also consider the “neoliberalization of race” and the “racialization of neoliberalism” (Mahtani and Roberts) within the specific historical and political context of the Czech Republic and post socialist Eastern Europe. Specifically\, Kolářová will explore how portrayals of Roma people as “inadaptable (non)citizens” have been used to determine who belongs in shared public spaces and whose exposure to violence is treated as morally defensible. The talk will conclude by examining forms of resistance that open up alternative possibilities\, or “crip horizons.”\n\nKateřina Kolářová is associate professor of sociology at Charles University in Prague. Kolářová’s other recent work takes the feminist queer crip perspective to explore the bio-social dimensions of metabolism\, “crip guts\,” the relationship between human and non-human lives\, and how we coexist with microorganisms\, toxic chemicals\, and other \"unclean\" elements/entities. She is currently working on a monograph exploring HIV and human-viral coexistence (forthcoming in 2027). She is a passionate forager\, fermentation enthusiast\, and an avid chaos gardener.\n\nHer book *Rehabilitative Postsocialism: Disability\, Sex\, and Race in Eastern Europe* (University of Michigan Press\, 2025) is available on \"Open Access.\" It was the winner of the 2019 Tobin Siebers Prize for Disability Studies in the Humanities.\n\nOpen Access link to book: https://www.fulcrum.org/concern/monographs/xd07gw749\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at crees@umich.edu.

This project entails a multi-country survey and experimental design in Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia on public opinion about dual citizenship. Given the growing political and economic influence of the African diaspora\, the rights and roles of dual citizens have become increasingly contentious. Using a descriptive survey and a conjoint experiment\, we explore when and why citizens support dual citizenship\, how they respond to diaspora politicians\, and how they view the role dual citizens and the broader diaspora play in the economic and democratic development of their countries.\n\nBio:\n\n​I am an assistant professor jointly appointed in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the Political Science Department at the University of Michigan.

I will show how this topology is encoded in three places an experiment can reach: the displaced-state count\, the scattering matrix\, and the local density of states\, and how an exact closed formula for the defect's scattering determinant yields a sum rule that distinguishes a true vacancy from a strong impurity. The same index structure governs interacting electrons bound to several defects\, where the Coulomb interaction entangles the protected modes\, and extends\, unexpectedly\, to the topological classification of two-qubit gates.

I find that workers confront a tension arising from the simultaneous promise and threat of advanced AI to society’s future—a tension amplified by accelerating technological capabilities and nested competitive races. This tension generates an intractable anxiety (moral\, existential\, and competitive) about the future. Rather than avoiding or accepting this anxiety\, workers engage in three cognitive processes—intellectualizing narratives\, abstracting identity\, and gamifying reality—that transform anxiety into fascination\, significance\, and thrill. This study helps explain how workers become increasingly invested in realizing transformative technological futures\, and how such investment reinforces the competitive dynamics that accelerate their development and sustain technological progress.

In this workshop\, participants begin by reflecting on their various commitments and values before engaging in a discussion of the shared reading. The session concludes with individual and collaborative workshop time targeting feasibility in their designs. Participants assess citations in a recent project to determine the extent to which they have used citations to build the kind of “dwelling” they want to occupy and explore options for further renovating. Alternatively\, participants may bring a project they have not yet researched fully in order to map a citation policy for that project.\n\nQualifiers: This is a workshop especially designed for those in the humanities\, social and applied sciences. Before the workshop\, we ask that you read an eight-page excerpt (sent to those who register) from Ahmed’s Living a Feminist Life.\n\nPresented by April Conway and Laura Clapper\, Sweetland Center for Writing Faculty UID:151500-21911684@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/151500 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Graduate,Graduate School,Graduate Students,Writing LOCATION:Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.) - Earl Lewis Room - 3rd Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261012T105329 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261118T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261118T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Department Colloquium | Horizon-Scale Modeling of Black Holes DESCRIPTION:Recent developments have ushered in a new era in the field of black hole astrophysics\, providing our first direct view of the remarkable environment near black hole event horizons. These observations have enabled astronomers to confirm long-standing ideas on the physics of gas flowing into black holes with temperatures that are hundreds of times greater than at the center of the Sun. In this talk I will describe the successes and challenges of theoretical models of black hole accretion on event horizon scales in the context of these observational advances. I will conclude with ideas on how the interplay of theory and observations can be used to measure the spin of black holes and test the long-standing prediction that the rotational energy of black holes can be extracted to power astrophysical jets.

The launch began the spacecraft’s 2.2 billion mile journey to the asteroid 16 Psyche in the outer part of the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The Psyche asteroid\, composed of over 50% metal by weight is possibly the metal core of a planetesimal whose formation was interrupted early in the solar system by collisions with other bodies that created the asteroid belt. The Psyche spacecraft is a hybrid. Maxar/Intuitive-Machines\, now known for taking photographs from space over Ukraine\, fabricated the spacecraft bus based on heritage hardware\, and JPL installed scientific payload\, avionics and autonomous flight software for deep space operation. This $900M NASA mission is the first spacecraft to use Hall thrusters in deep space to rendezvous and orbit the asteroid\, and recently completed a Mars Gravity Assist on the way to rendezvous in 2029. A 2-year science program will determine the asteroid’s composition and remnant magnetic field to determine if this unique object really is a planetary core…and what that actually looks like. The talk will describe the Psyche mission and provides updates on electric propulsion at JPL.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Dan M. Goebel received a B.S. in physics in 1977\, an M.S. in EE in 1978\, and a Ph.D. in applied plasma physics in 1981 from UCLA. He is a Fellow and Senior Research Scientist at JPL and an Adjunct Professor of Aerospace Engineering at UCLA. At JPL he is the Chief Engineer of the Psyche Mission and responsible for the development of advanced spacecraft technologies. Dr. Goebel is a member of the National Academy of Engineering\, the National Academy of Inventors\, and Fellow of the AIAA\, IEEE\, and APS. He is the author of over 300 technical and conference papers\, two textbooks on Electric Propulsion\, and holds 60 patents.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person\, with livestream on Zoom.

In the case that X is a Richardson variety (the intersection of a Schubert with an opposite Schubert variety)\, generally very singular\, the quotient is nonetheless smooth! I'll use this to give a log resolution of Richardson varieties\, and describe the dual simplicial complex to the anticanonical sncd boundary.

The existing literature typically focuses on constructing equilibria with a PDE approach\, which requires certain Markovian structures. We characterize all equilibria through a coupled system of forward-backward SDEs. In particular\, when the time duration is small\, we show that the FBSDE is well-posed\, and therefore the game has a unique equilibrium. Moreover\, this unique equilibrium may be non-Markovian and thus not attainable via the PDE approach. We next study the set value of the game\, which roughly speaking is the set of insider's values over all equilibria and thus is by nature unique. Finally\, we characterize the set value through a level set of a certain standard HJB equation.\nIn the second part of the talk\, we apply the new approach to the Kyle-Back model with dynamic legal risk and large numbers of noise traders. In this setting\, the insider chooses a strategy that conceals his identity within a large volume of surrounding trades and concentrates on medium-sized trades. We establish an intensity-based mathematical framework for explaining the interconnections between insider trading and stealth trading. When the number of noise traders becomes large\, the price impact of the insider asymptotically vanishes\, and consequently the stochastic game becomes deterministic optimizations\, which also carry implications for regulatory investigations and sanctions.\n\nThe results above include the joint work with Weixuan Xia and with Jianfeng Zhang.

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.

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.

Mushrooms pop up in our yards after a rainstorm. Yeast brew our beer. Maybe you’ve foraged for morels or picked up a sourdough hobby. If you think you know fungi\, though\, think again! Just this summer a team of U-M researchers discovered an entire world of fungi thriving nearly a third of a mile underground\, including 13 new species that have never been described before.\n\nFungi have conquered some truly unexpected environments\, from freshwater ecosystems to deep in the Earth's crust. Join Ecology & Evolutionary Biology PhD Candidate Quinn Moon and Dr. Tim James\, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Professor and Curator of Fungi at the U-M Herbarium as we venture into the fungal frontier. Discover how these remarkable organisms survive and thrive\, and consider what fungi can teach us about the limits of life on Earth.\n\nHors d’oeuvres will be served at 5:30 p.m.\, and the program begins at 6:00 p.m. Seating is limited—please come early.

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.

His character Jack Tucker is a well-respected journeyman and bonafide legend on the Upstate New York regional comedy scene\, a catastrophically overconfident stand-up comedian whose hacky punchlines\, misplaced swagger\, and desperate need to be adored convince him that he’s going to make it big any day now.\n\nAs his jokes collapse and his bravado frays\, the show exposes the fragile ego beneath the spotlight and the quiet terror behind the mic. Equal parts parody\, performance art\, and masterclass in comedic tension\, Jack Tucker Comedy Standup Show walks a thrilling line\, with Zach Zucker’s physical control and improvisational daring bringing both discipline and danger to the chaos.\n\nZucker\, whose clown lineage dates to the famous École Philippe Gaulier in France\, the training ground for actors such as Sacha Baron Cohen\, Helena Bonham Carter\, Emma Thompson\, and many others\, is a cult favorite on the international comedy circuit\, known for his always sold-out Stamptown Comedy and a forthcoming Netflix special.\n\nRecommended for mature audiences.

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.

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.

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.

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 UID:153178-21915325@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153178 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:advocacy,african and african american studies,american culture,anthropology,Art,artists and curators,photography LOCATION:Lane Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260915T123553 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261119T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261119T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Breakfast\, Luncheon\, and Dinner: Dining Out in the 1910s\, 1920s\, and 1930s DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a buffet selection of early twentieth century menus from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

They are a combination of certainty and ephemerality\, as if hinged between living and loss. The specificity of Ueno’s sculptural works reads like poetry. Ueno’s installation offers visitors time away\, for contemplation\, to draw inward\, to come inside\, to ask the question\, “How are art and the everyday intertwined?” Honoring the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence\, one becomes a continuation of the other. The artist intends the space to offer a restorative and meditative experience.\n\nThis exhibition includes artworks created from natural materials foraged by the artist while in artist residency in Ann Arbor.\n\n*The title refers to the opening line of Hōjōki\, written by 13th-century Japanese Buddhist monk Kamo no Chōmei: \"The flow of the river is ceaseless\, and the water is never the same…\"* UID:149763-21907138@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149763 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Exhibition,Humanities,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 S.

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.

Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form\, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5\, 2026\, through February 28\, 2027\, during regular museum hours (Tuesday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM\, and Saturday–Sunday\, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM\; closed Mondays and university holidays.* UID:153842-21916451@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ancient Rome,archaeology,art,Art History,collections,cultural heritage,Exhibition,Faculty,Free,history,Mediterranean,museum,Research,roman empire,visual arts LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261026T162156 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261119T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261119T114500 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Partnership in Action: The Grenada–Ann Arbor Exchange DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan School of Public Health Public Health Practice & Global Engagement team has organized a series of events over two days to bring our Grenadian partners to campus for a reciprocal\, practice-oriented exchange.

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.

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.

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.

Michael Gaddis\, clinical associate professor of management and policy in Georgia State University’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies.\n\nAbstract: Intersectionality theory argues that race and gender cannot be fully understood in isolation or through an additive approach. This study introduces a systematically comparative framework for identifying missing results in correspondence audits and helping scholars conduct more holistic analyses. Drawing on 52 correspondence audits encompassing nearly 330\,000 tests\, it identifies patterns that can be missed when racial and gender discrimination are analyzed separately rather than through an intersectional framework\, and offers best-practice recommendations for designing\, analyzing\, and citing correspondence audits.\n\nGaddis is a methodologist with expertise in survey and experimental design whose research advances understanding of inequality and discrimination across multiple dimensions.

However\, current modeling approaches often fail to capture the physical\, behavioral\, and systemic diversity required for effective localized planning and decision-making.\n\nIn this talk\, I will present integrated frameworks that combine bottom-up physics-based modeling with AI-driven analytics for characterizing urban energy systems. I will first show how the URBANopt platform has developed capabilities that enable coordinated analysis and co-design across buildings\, DERs\, and the grid. I will then discuss an AI-driven capabilities that automates input generation and supports dynamic scenario exploration.\n\nThese capabilities transform urban energy system planning by reducing the labor required for model generation\, scaling scenario exploration\, and improving accuracy for localized analysis. Together\, they form a scalable and adaptable framework that provides stakeholders with actionable insights for planning reliable and efficient energy transitions.\n\nBiography:\nDr. Rawad El Kontar is a Senior Research Engineer at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR). He is the lead developer of URBANopt\, DOE’s open-source urban energy modeling platform\, and the creator of the Urban Systems Generator\, an AI-driven framework that automates building-level data completion and scenario generation for city-scale energy modeling. With a multidisciplinary background spanning architecture\, building science\, and data science\, Rawad develops analytics and software platforms that integrate machine learning\, AI\, and energy simulation to accelerate the co-design and optimization of buildings\, distributed energy resources (DERs)\, and grid systems. His work supports stakeholders in advancing reliable and efficient energy.\n\n\nFor the most up to date information on the location\, please check the related link the week of this event UID:147953-21902590@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/147953 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:CAEN,Civil and Environmental Engineering,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,Energy,Engineering,Environment,Free,Industrial and Operations Engineering,Interdisciplinary,Law,Materials Science,Mechanical Engineering,Michigan Engineering,Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering,North Campus,Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences,Research,Science,seminar,Social Sciences,Sustainability LOCATION:Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building - FXB1012 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261002T165944 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261119T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261119T180000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Cutting Through Time: Folk Heritage and Socialist Vision in Chinese Papercuts DESCRIPTION:Deeply woven into the fabric of daily life\, Chinese papercuts (jiǎnzhǐ 剪紙) have long marked domestic spaces and life-cycle rituals. This exhibit showcases the rich tapestry of regional styles\, distinct cutting techniques\, and enduring motifs preserved across generations. Drawn from several significant donations to the Asia Library\, alongside our rich print collection on Chinese paper arts\, we'll highlight both rare original artworks and publications that provide context for them.\n\nBeyond traditional themes\, our collections also reveal how papercutting transformed into a medium of political and social mobilization throughout the twentieth century. In the 1940s\, artists at the revolutionary base in Yan’an adapted local paper arts to convey socialist ideals. Following the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949\, more and more art schools\, local workshops\, and professional artists were involved in the creation of papercuts\, depicting collective labor\, communist ideology\, and industrial progress. During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976)\, new papercuts largely illustrated political campaigns and eulogized party leaders. By the reform era of the 1980s\, papercuts entered global markets as exported handicrafts and cultural ambassadors\, marking yet another reinvention of a timeless folk tradition.\n\nIn 2009\, Chinese papercutting was inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity\, honoring centuries of technical virtuosity and communal creativity across China’s diverse regions and ethnic groups. \n\nThird Thursdays at the Library is a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections.

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.

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.

His character Jack Tucker is a well-respected journeyman and bonafide legend on the Upstate New York regional comedy scene\, a catastrophically overconfident stand-up comedian whose hacky punchlines\, misplaced swagger\, and desperate need to be adored convince him that he’s going to make it big any day now.\n\nAs his jokes collapse and his bravado frays\, the show exposes the fragile ego beneath the spotlight and the quiet terror behind the mic. Equal parts parody\, performance art\, and masterclass in comedic tension\, Jack Tucker Comedy Standup Show walks a thrilling line\, with Zach Zucker’s physical control and improvisational daring bringing both discipline and danger to the chaos.\n\nZucker\, whose clown lineage dates to the famous École Philippe Gaulier in France\, the training ground for actors such as Sacha Baron Cohen\, Helena Bonham Carter\, Emma Thompson\, and many others\, is a cult favorite on the international comedy circuit\, known for his always sold-out Stamptown Comedy and a forthcoming Netflix special.\n\nRecommended for mature audiences.

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.

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.

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 UID:153178-21915326@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153178 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:advocacy,african and african american studies,american culture,anthropology,Art,artists and curators,photography LOCATION:Lane Hall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260915T123553 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261120T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261120T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Breakfast\, Luncheon\, and Dinner: Dining Out in the 1910s\, 1920s\, and 1930s DESCRIPTION:Enjoy a buffet selection of early twentieth century menus from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

Alice Callahan\, Angel DeCora\, and Ella Deloria\, Gere shows how these and many other Indian women teachers subversively resisted assimilation with tribal presence\, relationality\, connection to land\, rejection of victimhood\, and maintenance of cultural traditions\, art\, and languages. Their vulnerable positions in schools directed by Euro-Americans necessitated that their contributions be subversive\, nearly invisible. Despite this\, they developed policies and practices that were passed to Indian students who in turn became teachers of the next generation of Indian students\, and many of their innovations inform contemporary movements toward sovereignty for Indian education.\n\nThis episode is sponsored by the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan Lifelong Learning program and is in recognition of Native American History Month.\n\nThe Clements Bookworm is a free monthly webinar series featuring guests discussing topics in American history.

Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form\, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5\, 2026\, through February 28\, 2027\, during regular museum hours (Tuesday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM\, and Saturday–Sunday\, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM\; closed Mondays and university holidays.* UID:153842-21916452@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ancient Rome,archaeology,art,Art History,collections,cultural heritage,Exhibition,Faculty,Free,history,Mediterranean,museum,Research,roman empire,visual arts LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20261012T121522 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261120T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261120T170000 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.

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.

She is a 2026–2027 Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow at the University of Michigan. She was a reporter for the acclaimed documentary The Stringer and has contributed environmental reporting to ProPublica.

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.

Registration is required. Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/nVJ7b\n\nBetween the late fifteenth and early seventeenth centuries\, the islands of Southeast Asia’s eastern archipelago—particularly those within Indonesia’s present-day provinces of Maluku\, North Maluku\, and East Nusa Tenggara—became the site of overlapping and competitive processes of Islamization and Christianization. The peoples of the region actively interpreted\, adapted\, and integrated these faiths within existing cultural\, political\, and spiritual frameworks. Understanding these encounters\, however\, requires reconstructing the religious worlds of communities that left few written records of their own. Scholars must therefore critically examine missionary and colonial accounts alongside nineteenth- and twentieth-century ethnographies\, remaining attentive to observers’ biases and the historical changes separating these sources. Focusing on Ambon\, North Maluku\, and Flores\, this talk explores how to uncover earlier understandings of relations between humans and spirits (nitu)\, ritual obligations\, and cosmological dualism. It also considers how these understandings shaped the appeal of Islam and Christianity and the meanings of conversion\, as people negotiated new teachings and practices alongside established beliefs and obligations.\n\nBENJAMIN L. MOSELEY earned his PhD. in history from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in Spring 2026. His dissertation examined patterns of religious conversion and the relationships among Christianity\, Islam\, and local belief systems in early modern eastern Indonesia.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

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 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.

A growing empirical literature links such arrangements to declines in job quality along several dimensions\, with studies of domestic outsourcing documenting sizable wage penalties (Dube and Kaplan 2010\; Goldschmidt and Schmieder 2017) and generally elevated employment instability (Aeppli 2025). We contribute to the literature on fissuring and job quality by examining the case of franchising\, which has gone relatively little examined due to limits of existing data. We take on this question by deploying two sources of novel linked data in the US context. First\, we use a national individual-level sample of thousands of hourly workers employed at dozens of fast food firms surveyed between 2019 and 2025 collected by The Shift Project. These data provide both unusually detailed direct worker reports of job quality and the capacity to link responses at the firm level to organizational attributes. We make use of this capacity for linkage by leveraging a second source of novel data\, legally required annual Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs)\, which report\, by state and year\, the number of company-owned and franchised outlets as well as detailed contractual provisions that aim to standardize production. We scraped state-firm-year level counts of franchised and company-owned establishments for major fast-food chains for the years 2019 to 2024. We show that workers in franchised fast-food restaurants make\, on average\, $1.7\hr less than workers in non-franchised fast-food restaurants\, and have\, on average\, a 40-50 p.p. lower rate of access to paid sick leave and a stable schedule. In an overall job quality index\, including dimensions such as wages\, quality of hours worked\, scheduling\, fringe benefits\, and work-life balance\, franchisee companies have\, on average\, a score that is 3/4 of a standard deviation lower than that of non-franchise companies. Using the staggered implementation of Paid Sick Leave policies across 11 states\, we show that these policies reduced the gap in access to PSL by 26 percentage points. Despite the substantial effect of the law’s introduction in reducing the gap\, we also document rampant non-compliance with these laws: over 60% of workers in PSL jurisdictions in franchised establishments have their right to paid sick leave violated.

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.

This event is an immersive performance installation that shifts the focus of dance from exterior virtuosity to interior listening. An improvisational score will be performed at 6:45 pm and 7:45 pm. Guests are invited to come and go whenever during those two hours.\n\n*Small Dance Party* investigates the intersection of trans/queer studies and dance studies by centering softness\, attunement\, and the ordinary as radical sites of inquiry. While acknowledging the highly virtuosic performances often found in queer communities\, this project offers an alternative: a queer dance space that values quiet listening to the body and the environment. By framing dance as an art of attention in space and time\, the installation turns toward the mundane movements of everyday life. Outside the bounds of traditional entertainment\, dance becomes a critical\, living lens to examine transness – revealing the internal movement that happens while transitioning.\n\nDuring the event\, with music composition by Molly Jones\, participants and observers are invited into a shared meditative space. The installation asks attendees to yield control: rather than commanding the body\, participants are invited to listen to what the body has to say. By engaging with the rhythm of the internal body\, the sway of gravity\, and the expansion of breath\, *Small Dance Party* creates a deeply somatic environment for queering body\, movement\, and stillness.\n\nThis project is being held in partial fulfillment of the Master of Fine Arts in Dance degree requirements. It was made possible by support from the Department of Dance\, William Braddan McClellan\, Jr. Fund in Dance\, Excel Lab & Career Center\, SMTD Wellness Program\, Eisenberg Family Depression Center\, and the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.

His character Jack Tucker is a well-respected journeyman and bonafide legend on the Upstate New York regional comedy scene\, a catastrophically overconfident stand-up comedian whose hacky punchlines\, misplaced swagger\, and desperate need to be adored convince him that he’s going to make it big any day now.\n\nAs his jokes collapse and his bravado frays\, the show exposes the fragile ego beneath the spotlight and the quiet terror behind the mic. Equal parts parody\, performance art\, and masterclass in comedic tension\, Jack Tucker Comedy Standup Show walks a thrilling line\, with Zach Zucker’s physical control and improvisational daring bringing both discipline and danger to the chaos.\n\nZucker\, whose clown lineage dates to the famous École Philippe Gaulier in France\, the training ground for actors such as Sacha Baron Cohen\, Helena Bonham Carter\, Emma Thompson\, and many others\, is a cult favorite on the international comedy circuit\, known for his always sold-out Stamptown Comedy and a forthcoming Netflix special.\n\nRecommended for mature audiences.

With a book by Arthur Laurents\, music by Leonard Bernstein\, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim\, this iconic musical brings Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to life. When Tony\, a former member of the Jets\, falls deeply in love with Maria\, the sister of the leader of the rival Sharks\, their romance sparks a chain of events that threatens to tear their divided community apart. As the Jets and Sharks fight for control of the neighborhood\, Tony and Maria dream of a world where they can build a life together beyond the boundaries that separate them. Filled with unforgettable music\, breathtaking dance\, and moments of joy and heartbreak\, West Side Story explores the power of love in the face of hatred\, the complexities of identity and belonging\, and the consequences of division.

Dex says\, “Hey man\, you live so close. You oughta come over and make some music. Maybe we’ll document it — who knows\, maybe it’s a record.”\n\nCapturing me in a studio is like convincing a whirling dervish to stop spinning long enough to sign a bill into law. It’s chaos\, caffeine\, and accidental poetry — art colliding with microphones and commerce in a glorious mess. That’s how JoyRide happened. No seatbelts\, no helmets. Just unsaturated\, unadulterated art. Real humans making real noise in real time.\n\nJoyRide is my 14th solo album (not counting the Rugburns records\, live things\, and bootlegs floating around). I tour nonstop\, so I usually have to be tricked into a studio under the guise of “just one song.”\n\nThe record opens with “If It Bleeds It Leads” — my kinda classic mischief:\n\n“I can never watch the news with you because you yell back — you scream like they can hear you in the television set.”\n\nThen comes “Petrichor\,” inspired by the beautiful smell after it rains. (I later discovered Phish has one too\, but mine’s the barefoot cousin at brunch.)\n\n“At It Again” follows\, a cosmic co-write with my brother-from-another-meerkat Jim Lauderdale\, featuring Bryan Owings and Chris Donohue (Emmylou Harris’s rhythm section).\n\nThe title track “JoyRide” feels like a warm hug after a long road trip:\n\n“Free hugs\, no shrugs\, wrong drugs\, bedbugs. Smiles\, laughter\, for here ever after.”\n\nSide one ends with “The Son Of God.” \nA nutso magutso track of a conversation I may or may not have had with Jesus.“ I get to play both parts. Myself AND Jesus.\n“The son of God contacted me about buying some Funk and Wagnalls encyclopedias. I said hello who’s this?”\n“It’s Jesus”\n“Jesus who?”\n“Jesus H. Christ. God’s son.”\n“How’d you get my number?”\n“I have everyone’s number.”\n“Even Liberace?”\n“He’s on dead people's speed dial.”\n\nI will probably get crucified for this song\, but hopefully it will be an AI video made by an angry man living in his mom’s basement. \n\nSide two kicks off with “Love a Little Bigger” — a rowdy co-write with Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon. It opens with:\n\n“Jacob took a hammer and he went up a hill\, built a nice house for his best friend Bill…”\nand ends with a singalong reminder to forgive faster and swim more often.\n\n“Fixin’ Up” (track seven) is my secret favorite — like a quarter from the Tooth Fairy you gotta dig around for.\n“New Tattoo” follows — about a dude who got his lover’s face inked on his own face. (Bad plan\, good song.)\n“Brand New Liver” imagines swapping out your old one like a water pump instead of quitting drinking.\nAnd then comes the closer: “Hairlift.”\n\nThat one has my favorite line I’ve ever written:\n\n“I used to play ping pong with my old friend Mao Zedong. I thought he told me I was well hung\, but he was speaking in the mother tongue.”\n\nThat’s JoyRide. Ten songs\, no filter\, no seatbelt\, no map.\nBig thanks to Dex Green for being the musical trickster who lured me into the studio.\nParty on\, weirdos.\n\nAccording to Wikipedia\, Steve Poltz (me) is a Canadian-American singer-songwriter and guitarist. He is a founding member of the indie-rock band the Rugburns and collaborated on several songs with singer Jewel\, including the 1996 single \"You Were Meant for Me\"\, which reached number 2 in the US.\n\n— Steve Poltz\, East Nashville UID:149416-21906379@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/149416 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260831T121729 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261120T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261120T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Symphony Band DESCRIPTION:In recognition of the end of our 250th year as a free nation\, the University of Michigan Symphony Band presents an All-American program from the diverse voices that permeate our country.

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.

Indeed\, the Italian Renaissance artist Vasari identified the ancient world as the time “when sculpture rose to its greatest height.” But close likenesses of the natural world are not the only visual products of the ancient past. This exhibition traces alternative visual trends in the ancient Roman world that today would be considered examples of abstraction. It focuses on monuments and motifs long pushed to the margins of our accounts of ancient art. Oversize arrangements of interlocking shapes pulsate in bold block colors from tombs\, temples\, and homes\; stylized animals flicker into view\, only to collapse once more into bright geometric arrangements\; and artists adopt experimental shorthands for the depiction of space across media. Anticipating recent interests in color and form\, the visual trends of antiquity emerge as far more varied than has long been told.\n\n*Ancient Abstractions is on view from November 5\, 2026\, through February 28\, 2027\, during regular museum hours (Tuesday–Friday\, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM\, and Saturday–Sunday\, 11:00 AM–4:00 PM\; closed Mondays and university holidays.* UID:153842-21916453@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/153842 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ancient Rome,archaeology,art,Art History,collections,cultural heritage,Exhibition,Faculty,Free,history,Mediterranean,museum,Research,roman empire,visual arts LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260922T103914 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261121T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261121T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:“Fill the Ranks”: The Civil War and the University of Michigan DESCRIPTION:“Fill the Ranks”: The Civil War and the University of Michigan explores how campus and community debated the issues that tore the country apart\, how students and alums joined the fight\, and how the University’s public mission began to conflict with its elite aspirations.

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?

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.

His character Jack Tucker is a well-respected journeyman and bonafide legend on the Upstate New York regional comedy scene\, a catastrophically overconfident stand-up comedian whose hacky punchlines\, misplaced swagger\, and desperate need to be adored convince him that he’s going to make it big any day now.\n\nAs his jokes collapse and his bravado frays\, the show exposes the fragile ego beneath the spotlight and the quiet terror behind the mic. Equal parts parody\, performance art\, and masterclass in comedic tension\, Jack Tucker Comedy Standup Show walks a thrilling line\, with Zach Zucker’s physical control and improvisational daring bringing both discipline and danger to the chaos.\n\nZucker\, whose clown lineage dates to the famous École Philippe Gaulier in France\, the training ground for actors such as Sacha Baron Cohen\, Helena Bonham Carter\, Emma Thompson\, and many others\, is a cult favorite on the international comedy circuit\, known for his always sold-out Stamptown Comedy and a forthcoming Netflix special.\n\nRecommended for mature audiences.

The program highlights music shaped by the idea of revisitation – it includes George Rochberg’s String Quintet (performed with cellist Norman Fischer)\; Franz Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet Op. 76\, No. 2 “Quinten”\; and Osvaldo Golijov’s *Ever Yours*\, a string octet performed with Fischer\, violist Matt Albert\, and violinists River Sawchyn and Aidan Krieger. Composed in different eras\, these works by Rochberg\, Haydn\, and Golijov each center on the idea of returning to something: musical ideas embraced before or the meanings behind emotions that influence the composers’ work.\n\nInitially known for his use of serialism – an approach to composing that focuses on creating sequences using pitches\, rhythms\, dynamics\, or other musical elements – Rochberg turned to writing music with a more melodic style after the death of his son in 1964. Rochberg claimed he couldn’t fully express his grief in music that used serialism’s pattern-focused approach. His 1982 String Quintet reflects Rochberg returns to the familiarity of more traditional melodic expression\, and though critics thought it was a creative regression\, the music still conveys what Rochberg viewed as an expanded emotional range.\n\nHaydn’s String Quartet Op. 76\, No. 2 “Quinten” bucked the composer’s trend of composing grand\, bright\, vibrant music and is instead written almost entirely in D minor\, which is often described as the saddest and most melancholy of all keys. The piece is nicknamed “Quinten\,” meaning fifths\, because of Haydn’s frequent use of this foundational interval between notes. Composed when he was in his 60s\, after a lifetime of writing some of the most sophisticated\, expressive\, and innovative works of his time\, this quartet showcases Haydn’s ability to create impressive work even with the most basic elements.\n\nAfter being asked to compose an octet for the Amsterdam String Quartet Biennale\, Osvaldo Golijov re-read letters Vincent Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo. The small but consistent detail of Van Gogh’s letters closing with “ever yours” prompted Golijov to reflect on the enduring bonds between himself\, the St. Lawrence Quartet\, and their late first violinist\, co-founder\, and force of nature\, Geoff Nuttall\, to whom the octet is dedicated. At the time\, Nuttall was battling pancreatic cancer\, which would ultimately take his life. In thinking about Nuttall\, Golijov came to consider the idea of Van Gogh’s “ever yours” mentality and how attention can connect to love. Through that attention-minded lens\, Golijov saw a bond between Nuttall\, Van Gogh\, and Haydn\, a composer of whom Nuttall was especially fond\, ultimately connecting the three across time and creative spaces. \n\nThe Telegraph Quartet was truly honored to work with Nuttall\, the St. Lawrence Quartet\, and Golijov in the actual formation of the work. Golijov composed the music almost before the ensemble’s very ears\, using the instrumentation of the octet and aesthetic feedback from the Telegraph’s players to stimulate his own creative process. The work was dedicated to Nuttall\, who\, along with the St. Lawrence and Telegraph Quartets\, premiered the work at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.\n\nABOUT TELEGRAPH QUARTET\nErin Chin & Joseph Maile\, violins\nPei-Ling Lin\, viola\nJeremiah Shaw\, cello\n\nThe TELEGRAPH QUARTET formed in 2013 with an equal passion for standard and contemporary chamber music repertoire. Described by the *San Francisco Chronicle* as “…an incredibly valuable addition to the cultural landscape” and “powerfully adept… with a combination of brilliance and subtlety\,” the Telegraph Quartet was awarded the prestigious 2016 Walter W. Naumburg Chamber Music Award and the Grand Prize at the 2014 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. The quartet is currently the quartet-in-residence at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe quartet has performed in New York City’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center\, San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre\, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s *Chamber Masters Series*\, and at festivals including the Chautauqua Institute\, Kneisel Hall Chamber Music Festival\, and the Emilia Romagna Festival. They have collaborated with pianists Leon Fleisher and Simone Dinnerstein\; cellists Norman Fischer and Bonnie Hampton\; violinist Ian Swensen\; and the St. Lawrence Quartet and Henschel Quartett. A fervent champion of 20th- and 21st-century repertoire\, the Telegraph Quartet has premiered works by Osvaldo Golijov\, John Harbison\, Robert Sirota\, and Richard Festinger.\n\nIn 2023\, the Telegraph Quartet released *20th Century Vantage Points: Divergent Paths*\, the first in a trilogy of recordings on Azica Records exploring the string quartets of the first half of the 20th century – an era of music that the group has felt especially called to perform since its formation. *Divergent Paths* 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. The quartet’s new album\, *20th Century Vantage Points: Edge of the Storm* is out now on Azica Records.\n\nhttp://www.telegraphquartet.com UID:150386-21909155@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/150386 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,Music,North Campus LOCATION:Earl V.

With a book by Arthur Laurents\, music by Leonard Bernstein\, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim\, this iconic musical brings Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to life. When Tony\, a former member of the Jets\, falls deeply in love with Maria\, the sister of the leader of the rival Sharks\, their romance sparks a chain of events that threatens to tear their divided community apart. As the Jets and Sharks fight for control of the neighborhood\, Tony and Maria dream of a world where they can build a life together beyond the boundaries that separate them. Filled with unforgettable music\, breathtaking dance\, and moments of joy and heartbreak\, West Side Story explores the power of love in the face of hatred\, the complexities of identity and belonging\, and the consequences of division.
