By presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region, including Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors, detainees’ families, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals. Curated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.

Make Yourself At Home. A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time.  As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future. This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience. So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them. Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.   In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history.  By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives.  “Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.”  — Toni Morrison Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.  ",https://events.umich.edu/event/84303,"Museum of Art","European and American Decorative Art","Museum of Art",,"Art European Exhibition History Museum UMMA","University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)" 84304-21622378,"2025-02-16 11:00:00","2025-02-16 20:00:00","We Write To You About Africa",,Exhibition,"Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art.  Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent. Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora. Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works.  We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

By presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region, including Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors, detainees’ families, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals. Curated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.

White",Exhibition,"The Red Summer portfolio represents the stories of various locations in the American landscape where racial violence (often characterized as “Race Wars” at the time) erupted between 1917 and 1923. These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience, including, though not limited to; racism, fear of violent black revolt, lynching, poverty, mass incarceration, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. Though the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. The project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past), is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.",https://events.umich.edu/event/131383,"East Quadrangle","RC Art Gallery","East Quadrangle",,"Ann Arbor Art artists arts arts at michigan Exhibition free Visual Arts","Residential College" 129602-21864045,"2025-02-17 09:00:00","2025-02-17 16:00:00","Redefining the Crown","The Voices of Black Breast Cancer Survivors",Exhibition,"In Winter 2025, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors. Based on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term ""crown"" is deeply symbolic in Black culture, signifying beauty, strength, and identity.

Through their narratives and portraits, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy.

Yet, critical questions—such as the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking and the mass hierarchy—remain unanswered. Precision measurements of the Higgs boson and its interactions, especially at high energies, offer one of the most promising pathways to uncover new physics at the LHC. The most favored Higgs boson decay to a bottom-antibottom quark pair ($H \to b\bar{b}$) is emerging as a key channel for studying Higgs bosons produced with large momentum, where the decay products are reconstructed as a single, large-radius jet. Historically, hadronic final states have faced significant challenges due to contamination from QCD processes, but advancements in jet substructure and tagging techniques have made these analyses viable in the boosted topology. In this talk, I will present the first measurement of Higgs production in association with a vector boson in the fully hadronic ($qqb\bar{b}$) final state. Looking ahead, I will discuss opportunities to improve measurements of highly energetic Higgs bosons and explore the physics potential of the High Luminosity LHC, the ATLAS detector upgrade, and future collider projects. These advancements will deepen our understanding of Higgs boson properties and their implications for physics beyond the Standard Model, paving the way for discoveries in the years to come.",https://events.umich.edu/event/132681,"West Hall",340,"West Hall",,"Physics Science","HEP - Astro Seminars Department of Physics" 132809-21871903,"2025-02-17 15:00:00","2025-02-17 16:00:00","RTG: Siegel-Weil formula and Rallis inner product formula","Jialiang Zou (UM)","Workshop / Seminar","Abstract: In the first part , I will introduce the classical Siegel-Weil formula, which expresses an Eisenstein series as a weighted average of theta series associated with lattices in a genus.

How can we use social justice to reach out, to touch? How can we try to be open to more than what is easily available to our acculturated senses? How can poetry, communal time shifts, and mediated sensory immersion expand and contract our world(s)?

Professor Sara Forsdyke, the Josiah Ober Collegiate Professor of Ancient History Lecture Title: Democratic Justice: Democracy and Juries in Ancient Athens and Contemporary America Lecture Abstract: Ancient Athens is famous for its invention of democracy. Less well-known is the fact that ancient Athens created a sophisticated system for trial by jury. This lecture will highlight the unusual features of the Athenian jury system and explore what we can learn from them. Professor Jon M. Miller, the Douglas Richstone Collegiate Professor of Astronomy Lecture Title: A New View of Black Holes Lecture Abstract: Black holes are not cosmic vacuum cleaners, nor trash compactors. Rather, they are rampant polluters that forever change their local environment. The process of gas accretion onto massive black holes in galactic centers may release as much ionizing radiation as all of the stars in the universe. And, counterintuitively, gas consumption by massive black holes leads to gas ejection at incredible speeds. These winds can scour the central regions of host galaxies, preventing the formation of new stars. Although the spatial expanse over which accretion onto (and ejection from) massive black holes occurs cannot be imaged directly, it can be revealed using X-ray spectroscopy. The launch of the XRISM telescope in late 2023 - a joint venture of JAXA, NASA, and ESA - is revolutionizing our understanding of black hole accretion. As one of five US ""participating scientists"" with access to early data, I will describe how this telescope works, the discoveries that it is making now, and the incredibly bright future that is on the horizon.

In a split second, his house was bombed, and he was left a refugee on the streets. Despite it all, Ahmad grabbed his phone, documented the devastation, and let the world in on what most media won’t show. *Bisan* Hundreds of Palestinian journalists have been killed or forced out. But Bisan Owda stayed put. Armed with her phone and fearless determination, Bisan refuses to let the world ignore what’s happening in Gaza. She’s an Emmy winner who risked everything to show us the brutal reality of occupation and bombardment. This is journalism in its truest form—dangerous, defiant, and absolutely necessary.

By presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region, including Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors, detainees’ families, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.

White",Exhibition,"The Red Summer portfolio represents the stories of various locations in the American landscape where racial violence (often characterized as “Race Wars” at the time) erupted between 1917 and 1923. These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience, including, though not limited to; racism, fear of violent black revolt, lynching, poverty, mass incarceration, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. Though the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. The project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past), is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.",https://events.umich.edu/event/131383,"East Quadrangle","RC Art Gallery","East Quadrangle",,"Ann Arbor Art artists arts arts at michigan Exhibition free Visual Arts","Residential College" 129602-21864046,"2025-02-18 09:00:00","2025-02-18 16:00:00","Redefining the Crown","The Voices of Black Breast Cancer Survivors",Exhibition,"In Winter 2025, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors. Based on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term ""crown"" is deeply symbolic in Black culture, signifying beauty, strength, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman, Tanisha Kennedy, Felecia McDaniel, Shantell Elaine McCoy, Tamara Lynn Myles, and Veleria Banks. Through their narratives and portraits, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer. The exhibit will be on view from January 21, 2025 to August 8, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies, and Michigan Medicine.

The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future. This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience. So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them. Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.   In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history.  By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives.  “Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.”  — Toni Morrison Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.  ",https://events.umich.edu/event/84303,"Museum of Art","European and American Decorative Art","Museum of Art",,"Art European Exhibition History Museum UMMA","University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)" 84304-21622379,"2025-02-18 11:00:00","2025-02-18 17:00:00","We Write To You About Africa",,Exhibition,"Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art.  Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent. Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora. Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works.  We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II.

To address this, the National Science Foundation-funded Maritime to Inland Transitions Towards ENvironments for Convection Initiation (MITTEN-CI) campaign was conducted in July 2024, with the goal of developing an extensive dataset that could effectively characterize these transitions.

Did Coca-Cola Outsmart China? The Scientific Secrets behind Coke’s Success in Shaping China’s Obesity Policies (Virtual)","Susan Greenhalgh, John King and Wilma Cannon Fairbank Professor of Chinese Society Emerita, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies, Harvard University","Lecture / Discussion","*Virtual Talk: We regret that Susan Greenhalgh is now not able to come in person, and will be giving her presentation through Zoom only. Please register below to attend.* Modern science and technology are central to Chinese politics and CCP power, but the intimate connections between science and party politics in China remain poorly understood. This talk presents a case of the corporate corruption of science by Big Food in the US, and the successful export of that corrupted science to China followed by its incorporation into Chinese health policy. In the mid-1990s the exploding epidemic of obesity posed an existential threat to Big Soda. Led by Coca-Cola, the industry mobilized scientists to quietly create a “soda-defense science” of obesity, one geared not to solving a public health problem but to protecting profits on unhealthy sugar-rich drinks. Arguing that science-making in China reflects the nation’s unusual history and socio-political institutions, this talk highlights five distinctive features of Chinese science-making, then uses them to unravel the secrets to Coke’s success in shaping China’s obesity policies. Elaborated in Soda Science: Making the World Safe for Coca-Cola, this research suggests that the corporate corruption of Chinese science and policy is more pervasive than we think, and that the party’s celebrated “scientific policy making” may not yield better policy. An anthropologist and specialist in the social study of science, Dr. Greenhalgh’s interests lie in the entanglements of state, corporation, science, and society, and their consequences for human health and social justice writ large. She is author of several books on the one-child policy, including the award-winning *Just One China: Science and Policy in Deng’s China*. Her recent works include *Fat-Talk Nation: The Human Costs of America’s War on Fat and Can Science and Technology Save China?* (as co-editor), among other titles. Recognized by several lifetime career achievement awards, Greenhalgh is currently the John King and Wilma Cannon Fairbank Professor of Chinese Society emerita in the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University.

But look a little closer, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think.

However, their widespread adoption is hindered by inadequate public charging infrastructure, particularly to support long-distance travel. Identifying optimal charging station locations in large transportation networks presents a well-known NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem, as the search space grows exponentially with the number of potential charging station locations. This paper introduces a quantum search-based optimization algorithm designed to enhance the efficiency of solving this NP-hard problem for transportation networks. By leveraging quantum parallelism, amplitude amplification, and quantum phase estimation as a subroutine, the optimal solution is identified with a quadratic improvement in complexity compared to classical exact methods, such as branch and bound. The detailed design and complexity of a resource-efficient quantum circuit are discussed. --- About the speaker: Dr. Talebpour is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The book maps out processes of gentrification, racial dispossession, and economic predation that drove the development of Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area and also looks at how that logic has become manifest in postsocialist Romania. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and archival research in Romania and the United States, McElroy exposes the mechanisms through which the appeal of Silicon Valley technocapitalism devours space and societies, displaces residents, and generates extreme income inequality in order to expand its reach. The book also explores how in Romania, dreams of privatization have updated fascist pasts, often in the name of anticommunism. At the same time, McElroy accounts for the ways that activists and artists resist Silicon Valley capitalist logics, building upon socialist-era worldviews not to restore state socialism but rather to establish more just social formations—helping materialize the unbecoming of Silicon Valley. The talk will conclude with a discussion of how Silicon Valley imperialism impacts transnational geographies of landlordism, gesturing to some of McElroy’s newer work. Erin McElroy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Washington, where their work focuses upon intersections of gentrification, technology, empire, and racial capitalism, alongside housing justice organizing and transnational solidarities. McElroy is author of Silicon Valley Imperialism: Techno Fantasies and Frictions in Postsocialist Times (Duke University Press, 2024) and coeditor of Counterpoints: A San Francisco Bay Area Atlas of Displacement and Resistance (PM Press, 2021). Additionally, McElroy is cofounder of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project—a data visualization, counter-cartography, and digital media collective that produces tools, maps, reports, murals, zines, oral histories, and more to further the work of housing justice.

After a brief reading, Linda will be joined in conversation with LSA Honors Program Director, Miranda Brown, Ph.D, for a wide-ranging conversation. Some of the topics they will discuss include: writing as the means to access and widen those subjects one is unfamiliar with, the spectrum of the diasporic experience as it relates to both language and time, and what it means to discover and trust one’s writerly process. There will be an audience Q&A after the in-conversation. Literati Bookstore will be on-site to facilitate a book signing following the conclusion of the event. We look forward to seeing you there! About the book: How many times in life can we start over without losing ourselves? Swimming Back to Trout River traces the far-flung orbits of a family across two continents, and explores the themes of music and migration in the aftermath of one of China’s most tumultuous eras in the twentieth century. In the summer of 1986, in a small Chinese village where she lives with her grandparents, ten-year-old Junie receives a momentous letter from her parents, who had left for America years ago: her father promises to return home and collect her by her twelfth birthday. But Junie’s growing determination to stay put in the idyllic countryside with her beloved grandparents threatens to derail her family’s shared future. Junie doesn’t know that her parents, Momo and Cassia, are newly estranged from one another in their adopted country. While Momo grapples anew with his deferred musical ambitions and dreams for Junie’s future in America, Cassia finally begins to wrestle with a shocking act of brutality from years ago. For Momo to fulfill his promise, he must make one last desperate attempt to reunite all three family members before Junie’s birthday—even if it means bringing painful family secrets to light. Swimming Back to Trout River is a “symphony of a novel” (BookPage) that reveals the hopes, compromises, and abiding ingenuity that make up the lives of immigrants. It “weaves a plot both surprising and inevitable, with not a word to spare” (Booklist, starred review). Linda Rui Feng, Ph.D, is both a practitioner and researcher of imaginative storytelling. At the University of Toronto, her work in Chinese cultural history takes her to narratives from the ninth century and, more recently, to the history of scent and aromatics. She is the author of City of Marvel and Transformation: Chang’an and Narratives of Experience in Tang Dynasty China, and the 2021 novel, Swimming Back to Trout River. The last time she spent a significant chunk of time in Ann Arbor was during her undergrad years, when she had a summer research internship in the Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering and lived in a co-op in North Campus. (She is still trying to figure out what she wants to be when she grows up.) Miranda Brown, Ph.D, is a cultural historian of China, whose primary interests lie in recipes of all kinds, with a special interest in culinary and medical recipes. Dr. Brown has published numerous articles on various aspects of Chinese medical, culinary, and cultural history in English and Chinese. Dr. Brown is also the author of The Politics of Mourning in Early China (2007) and, with the late Conrad Schirokauer, the co-author of A Brief History of Chinese Civilization (2012). Presently, Dr. Brown is working on a nonfiction trade book, to be published by St. Martin’s Press, titled Dumpling Therapy.",https://events.umich.edu/event/132241,"Michigan Union","Kuenzel Room","Michigan Union",,"Art Books Chinese Studies Creative Writing Discussion Graduate History Honors Program Humanities Interdisciplinary Language Literature Music Storytelling Talk","LSA Honors Program Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)" 132598-21871356,"2025-02-18 15:45:00","2025-02-18 17:15:00","School for Environment and Sustainability",,"Workshop / Seminar",,https://events.umich.edu/event/132598,,,"Dana Building",,Sessions,"Sessions @ Michigan" 131374-21868313,"2025-02-18 16:00:00","2025-02-18 17:00:00","Accelerated Master’s Degree Program in Transcultural Studies","Winter 2025 Virtual Info Sessions",Presentation,"Do you anticipate pursuing a PhD or a career involving international travel, cross-cultural partnerships, or collaborative work in a diverse workplace?

In this study, a special role is played by the Halting Problem—i.e. the problem of determining whether a given program stops after a finite number of steps or runs forever. Not only is it the first problem proved to be uncomputable, it also seems to be the simplest ""natural"" uncomputable problem. Martin's Conjecture is a long-standing open question in computability theory which partially explains why the Halting Problem plays such a special role. A key idea behind Martin's Conjecture is to view the Halting Problem not just as an individual problem, but as an operator on problems, which takes any problem to a strictly harder one. Martin's Conjecture consists of a classification of such operators, which says, in part, that the Halting Problem is the minimal non-trivial operator. I will discuss the background and motivation for Martin's Conjecture, as well as recent progress by Benjamin Siskind and myself which essentially completes a proof of the conjecture for a special class of operators called ""order-preserving.""",https://events.umich.edu/event/132216,"East Hall",1360,"East Hall",,Mathematics,"Colloquium Series - Department of Mathematics Department of Mathematics" 132445-21870966,"2025-02-18 16:00:00","2025-02-18 17:00:00","EHAP Lecture Series: Subjective Selection and the Evolution of the Cultural Manifold","Dr. Manvir Singh, UC Davis","Lecture / Discussion","In 1896, Franz Boas declared that “the most difficult problem of anthropology” was to explain cultural traditions “that develop with iron necessity wherever man lives”.

To realize their intriguing potential applications, ranging from molecular spintronics, quantum computing, to high-density information storage, spin-reversal barriers (Ueff) and magnetic blocking temperatures (TB) must be increased. Lanthanide ions are especially well-suited for the design of SMMs due to their large magnetic moments and magnetic anisotropy that originate from strong spin-orbit coupling of the 4f orbitals. One effective methodology to boost blocking temperatures of multinuclear compounds is to generate strong magnetic exchange between lanthanide centers using radical bridging ligands. In the event of strong magnetic exchange coupling, undesirable relaxation pathways such as quantum tunneling of the magnetization can be suppressed. Here, the first isolation of the bisbenzimidazole radical anion (Bbim3−•) and its use in radical-bridged SMMs will be discussed, Fig. 1.1,2 Furthermore, the isolation of the first fluoflavine radicals will be presented.3 A second approach to strong coupling employs heavy p-block elements since their diffuse valence orbitals facilitate better penetration of the core electron density of the lanthanide ions relative to diamagnetic ligands comprising lighter p-block elements. Here, we will present the first lanthanide bismuth cluster SMMs containing a [Ln2Bi6] heterometallocubane core, Fig. 1. We will also show that the Bi23−• radical anion can be tamed with rare earth ions to give the first SMMs featuring bismuth radicals, Fig. 1.4,5 We also synthesized complexes with diamagnetic 89Y (I = ½) to gain insight into the electronic structure and spin density distribution.6-9 The organometallic rare earth chemistry has been further advanced by the isolation of the first guanidinate complexes featuring a weakly coordinated tetraphenylborate anion,10 which have ramifications for both magnet design and reactivity studies.11,12 References.

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: “How many workshops do I have to sign up for?” You only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training.  “I see that there is more than one session, does it matter which one I sign up for?” It 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.  “Is this workshop required?” This workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan. “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.”  Our 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 [email protected]. “What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.” Our 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.  “Can I request accommodations?” We 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 [email protected] if you are concerned or have questions.  “I missed my workshop, what should I do ?” Our 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.  “I have had gender-based violence training before, can I get this requirement waived?” As 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.  “I’m a commuter/non-traditional student, do I still have to attend?"" Yes, 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.

Unlike other common health conditions, like asthma or heart disease, stigma around substance use is very high. This is particularly true when people who use substances become pregnant. In fact, pregnant people with a substance use disorder often face the highest levels of stigma and judgment, even when they ask for help. Substance use during pregnancy also comes with many health risks for the parent and child that are important to address. For these reasons, it’s crucial to provide compassionate, supportive, respectful care for birthing people who are also experiencing a substance use disorder. As a community, it is imperative that we resist judging pregnant people and instead help them as they begin their journey towards recovery. Join us as experts from The Partnering for the Future (PFF) Clinic at University of Michigan Health Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital and the U-M Department of Psychiatry discuss best practices—centering empathy and the very best research—for caring for birthing people with substance use disorders.

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: “How many workshops do I have to sign up for?” You only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training.  “I see that there is more than one session, does it matter which one I sign up for?” It 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.  “Is this workshop required?” This workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan. “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.”  Our 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 [email protected]. “What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.” Our 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.  “Can I request accommodations?” We 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 [email protected] if you are concerned or have questions.  “I missed my workshop, what should I do ?” Our 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.  “I have had gender-based violence training before, can I get this requirement waived?” As 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.  “I’m a commuter/non-traditional student, do I still have to attend?"" Yes, 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.

Blending genres and moods, weaving novelistic details into instantly memorable folk songs, he has crafted a record that feels like a series of personal breakthroughs, arriving one after the other. The first thing that strikes you about Mustafa’s music has always been his writing: a simple, piercing tone that can make any story feel as raw and earnest as the words to a love song. With a hushed delivery that can silence his surroundings, Mustafa evolved swiftly from a child prodigy reciting poems throughout his native Toronto to a behind-the-scenes pop songwriting force. On Dunya, he becomes a full-on auteur in his own right. “I’m trying to preserve and celebrate the ordinary life in the hood,” Mustafa notes of his lyrical inspiration. Exploring his upbringing and trajectory onward, these songs are equally disarming in their simplicity and multilayered in their emotional breadth. Featuring appearances from collaborators such as Aaron Dessner, Rosalía, Clairo, Nicolas Jaar, and more, alongside Mustafa’s longtime creative partner Simon Hessmann, the music reveals a confident, distinctive voice that’s never sounded more poised for the masses. Even when it sounds like he’s taking on the world, Mustafa is speaking only for himself: a story that he knows is just getting started.",https://events.umich.edu/event/129800,,,"ARK Reserved","$25 - $35","Ark Mutotix","Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)" 122925-21871265,"2025-02-18 20:00:00","2025-02-18 21:00:00","North Quad (2024-2025) (Housing)","Multiple conference events and sessions","Conference / Symposium",,https://events.umich.edu/event/122925,,,"NQ Bowman Room",,Sessions,"Sessions @ Michigan" 131833-21869300,"2025-02-18 20:15:00","2025-02-18 21:30:00","Warburg Pincus Analyst Information Session Webinar | University ofMichigan",,"Careers / Jobs","Warburg Pincus LLC is the pioneer of private equity global growth investing.

By presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region, including Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors, detainees’ families, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.

White",Exhibition,"The Red Summer portfolio represents the stories of various locations in the American landscape where racial violence (often characterized as “Race Wars” at the time) erupted between 1917 and 1923. These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience, including, though not limited to; racism, fear of violent black revolt, lynching, poverty, mass incarceration, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. Though the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. The project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past), is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.",https://events.umich.edu/event/131383,"East Quadrangle","RC Art Gallery","East Quadrangle",,"Ann Arbor Art artists arts arts at michigan Exhibition free Visual Arts","Residential College" 129602-21864047,"2025-02-19 09:00:00","2025-02-19 16:00:00","Redefining the Crown","The Voices of Black Breast Cancer Survivors",Exhibition,"In Winter 2025, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors. Based on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term ""crown"" is deeply symbolic in Black culture, signifying beauty, strength, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman, Tanisha Kennedy, Felecia McDaniel, Shantell Elaine McCoy, Tamara Lynn Myles, and Veleria Banks. Through their narratives and portraits, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.

A significant percentage of people are now recognized as having neurotypes that are not well supported by societal norms and our collective understanding of how to communicate across and support neurodiversity is still developing. Fortunately researchers, educators, and advocates who identify as neurodivergent are contributing to a growing body of best practices. Join the LSA Faculty & Staff Disability Navigators in this 2-part workshop series to learn about neurodiversity and how we can all start creating more neuroinclusive workplaces. Attendees will need to register for and attend both Part 1 and Part 2 to gain a comprehensive understanding of this topic. In Part 1, participants will: Understand what neurodiversity is and how the concept has evolved over time. Reflect on the ways neurodiversity shapes our experiences, behaviors, aptitudes, and understanding of the world. Learn about barriers to neurotype disclosure in the workplace. Explore how psychological safety facilitates disclosure and employee success. Become familiar with relevant resources for LSA employees. Audience: This is a beginner-level workshop open to any LSA employee, including our student employees. LSA employees receive priority access, so while external guests are welcome to register they may be waitlisted and allocated spots as space allows.

The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future. This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience. So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them. Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.   In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history.  By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives.  “Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.”  — Toni Morrison Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.  ",https://events.umich.edu/event/84303,"Museum of Art","European and American Decorative Art","Museum of Art",,"Art European Exhibition History Museum UMMA","University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)" 84304-21622380,"2025-02-19 11:00:00","2025-02-19 17:00:00","We Write To You About Africa",,Exhibition,"Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art.  Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent. Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora. Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works.  We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home, placemaking, labor, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today. Artist’s bio: Michelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist, educator, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting, bead weaving, embroidery, jewelry, transparent film installations, painting, ceramics, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story, re-make, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx, Chicanx, Mexican, and Texican peoples. Recently, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania), Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas, TX).

Poland is a primary destination for Ukrainian women, while internally displaced women face unique challenges within Ukraine's labor market. This lecture investigates displaced Ukrainian women’s economic and social adaptation, focusing on challenges such as linguistic barriers, career disruptions, and the intersection of caregiving responsibilities with labor market integration. Drawing on original research conducted from 2022 to 2024, the presentation sheds light on innovative responses, including entrepreneurial ventures and workplace adaptations in Poland, as well as emerging trends and imbalances in Ukraine’s labor market, where growing demand for women’s participation highlights new opportunities. By contextualizing the lived experiences of Ukrainian women, the lecture offers critical insights into migration policy, gender equality, and pathways to economic independence in times of crisis. Joining from Zoom, Liudmyla Huliaieva is an economist and Fellow of the Global MIT At-Risk Fellows Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

You can’t deny that there’s something about a black-and-white photograph that feels… stuffy. With portraits showing people with their shirts buttoned right to the neck and everything in shades of gray and brown, our imaginations can incline to thinking of the past as a bit staid, if not downright dull. But look a little closer, and you’ll see signs that the fashion choices available to those who came before us were more colorful than you might first think. From the fabrics they wore, to the games they played, or the books they read, their world was alive with bright hues.

The prospects of a laser-accessible nuclear transition touched off a flurry of proposals to utilize this apparently unique nuclear transition as a sensitive probe of both nuclear structure and chemical environment, to constrain physics beyond the Standard Model, and to construct a clock with unprecedented performance. Unfortunately, Kroger and Reich could only tell us that the transition energy was less than about 100 eV and therefore scientists have spent the intervening 48 years searching for the thorium nuclear transition. I’ll describe our efforts over the last 16 years to construct the first thorium-doped crystals and their use to perform nuclear laser spectroscopy, resulting in a measurement of the nuclear transition energy as 8.355733(2)_{stat} (10)_{sys} eV in ^{229}Th:LiSrAlF_6 . I will also discuss recent work observing the nuclear transition in thin films of ^{229}ThF_4; ongoing work to understand and harness the effect of the crystalline host on the isomeric transition; and the next steps for using this transition to probe new physics and build better clocks.

These qualities make experimental pursuits at Jupiter ripe for discovery. One example, is the pursuit of the underlying physics powering Jupiter’s auroras. Prior to 2016, the phenomenological picture of Jupiter’s northern aurora was established based on sparse ultraviolet and X-ray observations from Earth-orbiting observatories. Those auroral maps hinted that Jupiter’s auroras were driven in a much different manner than other planets’; however, in situ measurements were lacking to test various hypotheses. In 2016, NASA’s Juno mission provided the first measurements of Jupiter’s polar magnetosphere and auroral regions, and revealed that Jupiter is more complex than theories originally established. Juno has been orbiting Jupiter for over eight years and has executed 70 polar orbits with altitudes as close as a few thousand kilometers over its one-bar “surface”. This presentation will highlight Juno’s major auroral discoveries with an emphasis on its enigmatic polar cap auroral region. We will discuss how Jupiter’s space environment gives us access to a plasma parameter regime that is unlike other planets and how we can use that to explore similar and distinct properties of planetary magnetospheres. About the Speaker: George Clark received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Texas, San Antonio in 2014. George then joined the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in 2015 where his research specializes in the physics of energetic particle phenomena in the magnetospheric and auroral regions at Jupiter. He also builds energetic particle instruments for NASA and ESA missions. He is currently a science team member on NASA’s Juno mission, the lead of the Jovian Energetic Electron sensor on ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission, and the lead of the Ultra energetic neutral atom imager on NASA’s Inter-stellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe. George was awarded the NASA early career achievement medal for his scientific contributions in understanding Jupiter’s magnetosphere and auroras.

In the setting of algebraic stacks, the question of compact generation is more subtle: it turns out to fail in some cases, and the precise generality in which it holds is unknown. Recently, there has been increased interest in a weakening of the notion of compact generation known as dualizability, which still allows for many of the same manipulations that compact generation is used for.

In the first part, we'll examine methods for quantifying physiological acclimatization in BMT patients using continuous heart rate, activity, and sleep data. We'll discuss the mathematical challenges in processing high-dimensional, temporally-correlated physiological signals and approaches for detecting significant changes during vs post engraftment period. The second part will introduce our novel MOXIE (MultimOdal eXploration of psychological challenges in Interactive Environments) study, which aims to characterize individual stress signatures through multiple biophysiological signals. We'll explore planned approaches for integrating diverse data streams - from continuous physiological monitoring to ecological momentary assessments to video and blood samples. Special attention will be given to emerging computational frameworks, including applications of Long Short-Term Memory networks for temporal pattern recognition, self-attention mechanisms for capturing long-range dependencies in stress responses, and state-space models for efficient sequence modeling. We'll discuss how these advanced architectures might help bridge the gap between traditional time series analysis and the inherent complexity of mind-body interactions.

Formally, in the limit as $N\to\infty$, the system takes the form of a nonlinear (McKean-Vlasov) Markov chain, and we rigorously establish this limit. Specifically, under the assumption that the mean field system has a unique, exponentially stable stationary distribution, we show that the weak error between the empirical measures of the $N$-particle system and the law of the mean field system is of order $1/N$ uniformly in time. Our analysis makes use of a master equation for test functions evaluated along the measure flow of the mean field system, and we demonstrate that the solutions of this master equation are sufficiently regular. We then show that exponential stability of the mean field system is implied by exponential stability of solutions to the linearized Kolmogorov equation with a source term. We apply our results to study the convergence of large population games to mean field games and give a new condition for the existence of a unique, exponentially stable stationary distribution for a nonlinear Markov chain.",https://events.umich.edu/event/128953,"East Hall",1360,"East Hall",,Mathematics,"Financial/Actuarial Mathematics Seminar - Department of Mathematics Department of Mathematics" 131706-21869070,"2025-02-19 16:00:00",,"Women's Lacrosse vs Central Michigan",,"Sporting Event","Women's Lacrosse vs Central Michigan",https://events.umich.edu/event/131706,"U-M Lacrosse Stadium",,"U-M Lacrosse Stadium","See MGoblue.com","Athletics Athletics - Women's Lacrosse","Michigan Athletics" 110035-21867227,"2025-02-19 16:30:00","2025-02-19 17:30:00","Pizza with the Psychology Professors!",,"Social / Informal Gathering","Are you an interested or declared student in Psych or BCN?

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, peer-led 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 or concerns about taking this workshop, or are in need of an exemption, please contact Jacqy Hippe, Program Manager for Graduate Research, Outreach, Workshops, Outreach, and Evaluation (GROWE) ([email protected]), or fill out this form.

By presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region, including Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors, detainees’ families, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals. Curated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.

White",Exhibition,"The Red Summer portfolio represents the stories of various locations in the American landscape where racial violence (often characterized as “Race Wars” at the time) erupted between 1917 and 1923. These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience, including, though not limited to; racism, fear of violent black revolt, lynching, poverty, mass incarceration, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. Though the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. The project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past), is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.",https://events.umich.edu/event/131383,"East Quadrangle","RC Art Gallery","East Quadrangle",,"Ann Arbor Art artists arts arts at michigan Exhibition free Visual Arts","Residential College" 129602-21864048,"2025-02-20 09:00:00","2025-02-20 16:00:00","Redefining the Crown","The Voices of Black Breast Cancer Survivors",Exhibition,"In Winter 2025, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them. Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.   In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history.  By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives.  “Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’....

Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.

Quantum materials embedded into devices have been observed to host a wide variety of quantum phases that can exhibit intriguing properties, like dissipationless transport, magnetism, or fractionalized carriers. Understanding the conditions under which these phenomena emerge is of great fundamental interest and important for deterministically designing materials for new applications. In these device-integrated quantum materials, the macroscopic responses are not solely due to the intrinsic interactions of the materials. Instead, these interactions, and the resulting ground state physics, are modified by the specifics of the device integration. In this talk, I will discuss how integrated quantum materials form sub-wavelength cavities due to their micron-size, confining low-energy light into the near field. I will introduce time-domain on-chip THz spectroscopy as a technique to capture the cavity electrodynamics, probing the response of integrated materials to light on their natural frequency (~THz/meV) scales. This technique overcomes the mismatch between free-space THz wavelengths (~300 um) and sample size (~10 um) by measuring the optical conductivity on-chip, in the near field, and at finite momenta. I will illustrate how the properties of integrated quantum materials, such as gate-tunable van der Waals heterostructures, can be modified and controlled due to cavity effects. Using on-chip THz spectroscopy, I observed light-matter hybridization in a gate-tunable van der Waals heterostructure, between plasmonic self cavity modes in monolayer graphene and a graphite electrostatic gate. This hybridization can be tuned into the ultrastrong coupling regime using electrostatic gating and the cavity geometry. In this regime, light-matter coupling can be wielded to engineer new thermodynamic ground states. Together, these results lay a path for utilizing integrated quantum materials in novel THz quantum technologies. Bio.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home, placemaking, labor, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today. Artist’s bio: Michelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist, educator, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting, bead weaving, embroidery, jewelry, transparent film installations, painting, ceramics, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story, re-make, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx, Chicanx, Mexican, and Texican peoples. Recently, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania), Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas, TX).

The Constitution of Japan is the oldest unamended constitution in the world, but debates over its revision have picked up steam in the last decade. Various Liberal Democratic Party leaders have declared constitutional change a top priority, but it is unclear whether the public shares their commitment. This talk focuses on a specific distinction: whether amendments are perceived to be necessary (present urgency) versus desirable (future improvement). Professor McElwain will discuss this difference using evidence from comparative constitutional data and survey experiments in Japan. Kenneth Mori McElwain is a professor of comparative politics at the Institute of Social Science, University of Tokyo. His research focuses on comparative institutions and Japanese politics, with a particular emphasis on constitutional design and change. He holds a BA in public and international affairs from Princeton University and a PhD in political science from Stanford University, and he was an assistant professor of political science at the University of Michigan before assuming his current position. During the 2024-25 academic year, he is a Visiting Professor of Japanese politics at Columbia University. *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.* If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at [email protected].

The news of recalls and re-certifications in the automotive and aerospace industries is an eloquent testimony to the difficulty of system design. Many voices from government agencies, industry, and academia have thus called for the development of theoretical and practical tools to provide assurance of the correctness of our complex systems. Assume guarantee contracts provide a theoretical and methodological framework to compositionally design systems with rigorous guarantees. In this talk, we will introduce contracts and their algebraic operations through case studies in space mission design and autonomous driving that show where current system design methodologies struggle. We will also introduce Pacti, a software package that enables engineers to carry out system-level design using contracts.

A key challenge in the field is capturing multi-dimensional data, such as polarization, phase, and fluorescence lifetime, with high precision and efficiency; these data provide a deeper understanding of various biomedical processes. This talk focuses on two recent advancements in optical imaging that address this critical challenge. The first part focuses on single-molecule orientation localization microscopy. Fluorescent molecules behave as oscillating dipoles, with their dipole orientations affecting both absorption and emission processes. By leveraging the principles of light-matter interactions and advanced statistical tools, we have developed imaging systems capable of not only measuring the positions of individual fluorescent molecules with nanoscale resolution but also determining their orientations. This capability offers unparalleled insights into biophysical phenomena, such as membrane-protein interactions. The second part covers advances in computational imaging, where optical systems are combined with computational tools, from closed-form mathematical relations to state-of-the-art neural network-based approaches, to enable unique multi-modal imaging and high-throughput data acquisition. Examples include a bimodal imaging system that integrates 3D fluorescence with quantitative phase imaging, and a single-shot volumetric fluorescence imaging system capable of capturing an entire 3D scene in a single snapshot. These advancements demonstrate the integration of optical physics, engineering, and computational methods to enhance the capabilities of optical imaging for biomedical applications and biophotonics.

Carbohydrate-containing molecules, such as human milk oligosaccharides and glycolipids, are notoriously difficult to characterize, largely owing to their high degrees of isomeric heterogeneity. Thus, new analytical methodologies are required to improve the confidence of their characterization. In the first portion of this seminar, the use of cyclic ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (cIMS-MS) in conjunction with multiple tandem mass spectrometry-based strategies is presented as a new method toward the de novo sequencing of carbohydrate-based molecules. Recently, new insights from high-resolution ion mobility separations have revealed that mass distribution-based effects are responsible for the separation of isotopologues and isotopomers – an observation which should be impossible based on existing theory. In the second portion of this seminar, the use of isotopic shifts to delineate amongst isomers and conformers will be discussed. Additionally, the development of both experimental and theoretical approaches to better understand the fundamental nature of mass distribution-based isotopic shifts will also be presented.",https://events.umich.edu/event/125071,"Chemistry Dow Lab",1640,"Chemistry Dow Lab",,"Analytical Chemistry Chemistry","Department of Chemistry Analytical Chemistry" 132652-21871503,"2025-02-20 16:00:00","2025-02-20 17:15:00","Branford Marsalis - A life of art and engagement",,"Lecture / Discussion","Grammy-winning saxophonist Branford Marsalis will take time from his performance schedule to share his insights into the relationship between art, culture, and public policy and activism.

The symposium will highlight the challenges Chicana historians have faced and continue to confront in the academy while we celebrate their outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the field of history, with a particular focus on alumni and faculty from U-M. At this convening, we will celebrate the official launch of the digital archive of The First 100: Chicanas Changing History, which is maintained at the University of Michigan Library in Ann Arbor. The digital oral history archive is complemented by the project’s material artifacts, which are housed at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. The Chicanas Changing History symposium will include opening remarks by Dean Rosario Ceballo, a keynote lecture by U-M alum Dr. Natalia Molina, panel discussions, public receptions, an exhibition tour of La Raza Art and Media Collective, 1975 – Today, at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA), and a ribbon-cutting to officially launch the digital archive at the U-M Library. Through oral histories, data collection, exhibitions, and public programs, this project honors the contributions of the first 100 Chicanas to earn doctoral degrees in any field of history. It is also an intervention: interrogating the academy’s organizational culture that systematically excludes Chicanas is at the core of this initiative. The First 100: Chicanas Changing History was founded by Dr. Lorena Chambers, who received her doctorate from the History Department at the University of Michigan. Join us February 20-21, 2025, to learn about this archival project and how and why we need initiatives like this to create positive change. All symposium events are free and open to all.

Participants will be able to ask him about his book's argument, his process of conducting archival research for this book, and the process of turning his dissertation into a monograph. Participants should come having read his book, or at least some parts (or even just one chapter) of it.  Dr. Hamed-Troyansky is a historian of global migration and forced displacement and Assistant Professor of Global Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research examines Muslim refugee migration and its role in shaping the modern world. He is the author of Empire of Refugees: North Caucasian Muslims and the Late Ottoman State (Stanford University Press, 2024). Dr. Hamed-Troyansky is currently working on a transnational history of Muslim displacement in the Middle East, Central Asia, and South Asia since 1850.  Empire of Refugees reframes late Ottoman history through mass displacement and reveals the origins of refugee resettlement in the modern Middle East. Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky offers a historiographical corrective: the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire created a refugee regime, predating refugee systems set up by the League of Nations and the United Nations. Grounded in archival research in over twenty public and private archives across ten countries, this book contests the boundaries typically assumed between forced and voluntary migration, and refugees and immigrants, rewriting the history of Muslim migration in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book has already won two awards - 2024 Gold Medal in the History (World) category, Independent Publisher Book Awards and 2024 Alixa Naff Prize in Migration Studies, Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies .  Dr. Hamed-Troyansky has made this  digital map of over 1,100 North Caucasian refugee villages in Turkey, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq.  I'll hope to see you all at the event!

Babylonian approaches to describing and calculating astronomical phenomena were primarily – though, as I will show, not exclusively – through numerical modelling rather than by means of geometrical or physical models. Therein lies the rub: some historians claim that geometrical models and physical theories are a requirement of science, and therefore, they judge Babylonian astronomy as falling short of being true science. In this talk, I will discuss whether this is an appropriate way to understand whether an early astronomy is scientific and, more to the point, show that Babylonian scholars did indeed construct theories of the behaviour of the sun, moon, and planets but that historians have usually been looking in the wrong place to find those theories. John Steele is the Charles Edwin Wilbour Professor of Egyptology and Assyriology at Brown University. He received his BSc (1995) and PhD (1998) from Durham University and has previously taught at Durham University and the University of Toronto. Prior to taking up his current position at Brown in 2008, he held a Royal Society University Research Fellowship at Durham. Steele is a historian of astronomy who specializes in the history of the Babylonian astral sciences, the circulation of astral knowledge, and the early modern reception and use of ancient astronomy. He is the author or editor of several books twenty books, including recently The Babylonian Astronomical Compendium MUL.APIN (Routledge, 2019; co-authored with Hermann Hunger) and The Allure of the Ancient: Receptions of the Ancient Middle East, ca. 1600-1800 (Brill, 2022; co-edited with Margaret Geoga).",https://events.umich.edu/event/132563,"Angell Hall","Classical Studies Library, Room 2175","Angell Hall",,"Astronomy Middle East Studies Philosophy Planetarium","Classical Studies Department of Astronomy Department of Middle East Studies Department of Philosophy Planetarium & Dome Theater at the Museum of Natural History" 130005-21865047,"2025-02-20 17:30:00","2025-02-20 19:00:00","Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Tiff Massey",Whatupdoe,"Lecture / Discussion","Tiff Massey is an artist whose practice centers around adornment and community. Massey creates jewelry, sculpture, performance, video, music, and immersive environments with large-scale jewelry pieces and quilts. Massey was the first Black woman to earn an MFA in metalsmithing from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. She draws on 1980s hip-hop culture and her experiences as a Detroit native to explore the concept of adornment in African diaspora and contemporary issues surrounding race, class, and popular culture. Massey merges her art practice with meaningful community engagement to explore the relationship between identity, public space, and community. Her installation 7 Mile + Livernois, currently on display at the Detroit Institute of Arts, refers to the neighborhood at the heart of Detroit’s Black business and fashion district. It is also where Massey grew up, and the site of a new art and community space Massey is building that blends her craft with her drive for community kinship. Tiff Massey’s art has been featured in solo and group shows around the US and internationally, and has garnered multiple awards. Massey’s work is in the permanent collections of many institutions, including the Museum of Art and Design in New York and the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia. She is the winner of the 2021 United States Artists Fellowship and the 2019 Art Jewelry Forum Susan Beech Mid-Career Artist Grant, a two-time winner of the John S. and James L.

PFC William Santiago, a young Marine who is considered a “weak link” in his unit, has died as a result of actions taken by two of his fellow marines. Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and PFC Louden Downey claim Santiago’s death was the accidental outcome of a routine hazing incident ordered by a superior officer. Their superior officers claim there was no such order and that the two men should be held accountable. Defending Dawson and Downey are three Navy attorneys who hold their own complicated (and sometimes conflicting) ideas of duty and honor: Daniel Kaffee, the son of a renowned lawyer whose career casts a long shadow; Sam Weinberg, who will do his best to defend the accused in spite of his suspicion that they are bullies; and Joanne Galloway, a lieutenant commander with strong instincts and minimal courtroom experience who is dead set on uncovering the truth no matter what. This fast-paced, high-stakes play raises timeless questions about the price of blind loyalty and the way ideals like honor and duty can be twisted until they are unrecognizable.

By presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region, including Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors, detainees’ families, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.

From Schism to Union and Back: Eastern Christians and Catholic Expansion in the Age of Confessionalism",,"Workshop / Seminar","In recent decades, there has been a resurgence of scholarship on contacts between the Catholic Church and Eastern and Oriental Churches in the pre-modern period. Spanning large swaths of Eastern Europe and the Middle East, these interconfessional encounters were marked by fierce theological debates, cultural misunderstandings, political intrigues, and complex negotiations of religious practices and beliefs. They produced greater familiarity and mutual understanding of confessional traditions in anticipation of the coveted Christian unity, while also resulting in new schisms between and within the Churches. Since studies of these developments are often nested inside their geographically defined fields, this workshop aims to put them in dialogue with each other, exploring differences, connections, and wider patterns across the vast geography of Eastern Christianity. This workshop explores themes of church unity and confessionalization, conversion and religious syncretism, knowledge production and intellectual exchange. It features papers by scholars working within different disciplinary frameworks, including cultural history, theology, and art history, with the focus on the Armenian and Ruthenian Orthodox Churches in their encounter with early modern Catholicism. Workshop Program (Eastern Standard Time/EST) 9:45-10:00 AM Welcome & Opening Remarks – Gottfried Hagen (University of Michigan) & Bogdan Pavlish (University of Michigan) 10:00-11:30 AM Keynote Lecture – Cesare Santus (University of Trieste) *Education, Confession, and Devotion: Shaping Armenian Catholicism in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire* Just when the confessional paradigm seemed to have exhausted its heuristic potential in the context for which it was developed (sixteenth-century Western Europe), a new generation of scholars rediscovered its usefulness for analyzing religious polarization in the early modern Ottoman Empire and Eastern Europe Drawing on this historiography, this lecture will focus on a specific case study: the Armenians of Constantinople and Ottoman Anatolia at the turn of the eighteenth century In their case, contact with Catholic missionaries not only created a rift within these communities but also led over time to the construction of two distinct and opposing confessional identities Specifically, this lecture will analyze the cultural and social tools used by both Catholic missionaries and the Armenian Apostolic clergy to build and consolidate a sense of belonging to two faith communities, overcoming previous ambiguities and the efforts of those who did not want to choose between Rome and Etchmiadzin.

Often in academic spaces, we do not learn from the activists, community leaders and organizers doing the work in our communities. We want to flip this narrative and provide a space for community leaders to be the teachers, and for students to engage in this type of learning in an accessible way.  This past year, the world has become more aware of the ongoing struggles of many, including Congo, Sudan, and Palestine. Although we are not there, there is a sense of urgency and responsibility for us to also advocate for the liberation of these people in addition to our own selves. We recognize how these struggles that are happening across the world are happening parallel here. Dr. King said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” Black freedom struggles in the United States have always had global dimensions and a deep impact on others across the world. For the purposes of Building Power, we will be using the following definition of collective liberation from the Center of Racial Justice in Education: Collective liberation acknowledges that multiple oppressions exist, and that we work in solidarity to undo oppression in ourselves, our families, our communities, and our institutions, in order to achieve a world that is truly free. Black Radical Healing Pathways chose this topic for this year’s Building power because we wanted to explore the meaning of ujima (collective work and responsibility) in current day contexts and liberation movements.  While we talk about global struggles, it is imperative to remember that we have multiple liberation movements happening on US soil today that also require collective liberation. As we work within these movements, having the knowledge of global struggles allows us to be more intentional in our work and advocacy. Keeping the essence of Building Power’s mission in mind, we plan on inviting speakers who have diverse experiences in multiple liberation movement spaces with impacts here and abroad.",https://events.umich.edu/event/131999,,,,,Sessions,"Sessions @ Michigan" 130827-21867049,"2025-02-21 09:00:00","2025-02-21 17:00:00","Andy Ross Exhibition",Dialogues,Exhibition,"The pieces here are from a large series of works made over the last several years.

White",Exhibition,"The Red Summer portfolio represents the stories of various locations in the American landscape where racial violence (often characterized as “Race Wars” at the time) erupted between 1917 and 1923. These years of conflict reveal several aspects of racial anxiety that inform our contemporary experience, including, though not limited to; racism, fear of violent black revolt, lynching, poverty, mass incarceration, and competition for employment. The term “Red Summer” was first used by James Weldon Johnson to describe the violent attacks against black communities during 1919. Though the events of the early twentieth century seem to be remote and fading apparitions of an American past; my work is concerned with the power and influence of our shared historical narrative upon the present. The upheaval of Red Summer occurred approximately fifty years after the American Civil War, fifty years before the height of the Civil Rights Era, and three centuries after the first enslaved Africans arrived in English colonies that would become the United States. The project combines photographs of the contemporary landscape made at or near the site of racial conflict with fragmented selections of contemporaneous newspaper reporting (1917-1923). In many cases, the newsprint images include the surrounding stories or advertisements. The combination of the landscape photograph and the reproduction of newspaper fragments (which invade the contemporary with a narrative from the past), is a rupture and a conversation on the timeline between past and present.",https://events.umich.edu/event/131383,"East Quadrangle","RC Art Gallery","East Quadrangle",,"Ann Arbor Art artists arts arts at michigan Exhibition free Visual Arts","Residential College" 129602-21864049,"2025-02-21 09:00:00","2025-02-21 16:00:00","Redefining the Crown","The Voices of Black Breast Cancer Survivors",Exhibition,"In Winter 2025, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors. Based on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term ""crown"" is deeply symbolic in Black culture, signifying beauty, strength, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman, Tanisha Kennedy, Felecia McDaniel, Shantell Elaine McCoy, Tamara Lynn Myles, and Veleria Banks. Through their narratives and portraits, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.

The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future. This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience. So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

Traveling from the parlors of the urban north to HBCU reading rooms and branch libraries in the Jim Crow south, Scattered and Fugitive Things draws on overlooked sources--such as book lists and card catalogs--to reveal the risks these collectors took to create Black archives. The book also explores the social life of collecting, highlighting the communities that used these collections from the South Side of Chicago to Roanoke, Virginia.

Join us for an extraordinary panel of community engagement professionals from TRUCEN to share findings from their national survey of R1 universities on the challenges associated with compensating community partners who contribute to community engagement initiatives. In this session, members of the TRUCEN Sustained Conversation Group on Cultivating Community Voice will discuss principles and philosophy for compensating partners that advocates can use in conversations with your colleagues in procurement, finance, HR, fundraising, and senior leadership. Our goal will be for attendees to consider how these principles and practices intersect with the University of Michigan’s institutional context, and begin to identify next steps to simplify processes, and reduce delays, for compensating your community partners. The workshop will preview content being developed for a toolkit which will provide community engagement professionals and faculty members with 1) talking points to make a case for compensating community partners and 2) examples of promising processes and practices used by campuses across the country.

One promising approach to address this issue is the watermark technique, which embeds subtle statistical signals into LLM-generated text to enable reliable identification. In this work, we enhance watermark detection using adaptive methods that assign higher weights to tokens with smaller next-token probabilities (NTPs), where NTPs quantify the likelihood of a token appearing based on its preceding context. We rigorously analyze the Type I and Type II error of the proposed method and demonstrate its superior detection power through numerical experiments. Due to the unavailability of true prompts and, thus, true NTPs, we introduce a prompt estimation method that identifies the most likely prompt from an instruction set to estimate NTPs. Furthermore, we develop a statistical framework for segmenting text into watermarked and non-watermarked substrings by framing it as a change point detection problem. Extensive experiments validate the proposed methods, demonstrating their effectiveness in detection, segmentation, and robustness. https://zhangxiany-tamu.github.io/",https://events.umich.edu/event/132383,"West Hall",340,"West Hall",,seminar,"Department of Statistics Department of Statistics Seminar Series" 84303-21621525,"2025-02-21 10:00:00","2025-02-21 20:00:00","Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism",,Exhibition,"Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison), this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art, 1650-1850. In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them. Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.   In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history.  By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives.  “Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’....

Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora.

The Potential Role of Marine-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal in Combatting Climate Change","Dr. Wil Burns","Workshop / Seminar","Dr. Wil Burns, Co-Director, Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal, American University & Associate Director, Environmental Policy & Culture Program, Northwestern University. In the ensuing years after the entry into force of the Paris Agreement, it has become increasingly obvious that achievement of its temperature objectives will require both aggressive emissions reduction initiatives and large-scale deployment of carbon dioxide removal/negative emissions technologies to either avoid passing critical climatic thresholds or address temperature “overshoot” scenarios. While much of the early research of carbon dioxide removal methods focused on terrestrial approaches, there has been increasing attention to the potential role of the world’s oceans given both sustainability considerations and the fact that oceans already serve as a huge carbon sink, with much additional potential for storing carbon. These options include ocean iron fertilization, ocean alkalinization enhancement, ocean upwelling/downwelling, ocean biomass sinking. However, research in this context, as well as potential large-scale deployment of such options, also poses potentially substantial risks to marine environments and key economic stakeholders. Moreover, there is likely to be substantial public backlash to research absent the existence of a sound regulatory framework for risk assessment, monitoring, and public deliberation. This presentation will include the potential risks and benefits posed by different ocean-based carbon dioxide removal options. It will also include a discussion of regulatory efforts to date by international treaty regimes, and other potentially pertinent regimes, including those with a marine regulatory focus, as well as the potential role of the UNFCCC/Paris Agreement.",https://events.umich.edu/event/132277,"Dana Natural Resources Building",1040,"Dana Natural Resources Building",,"climate Climate Change energy Environment environmental environmental justice Global Change industrial ecology innovation Sustainability","Center for Sustainable Systems" 132345-21870784,"2025-02-21 11:00:00","2025-02-21 13:00:00","Zine Happening","brought to you by Writing/Digital 201","Social / Informal Gathering","Super duper cool zine trading event.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home, placemaking, labor, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today. Artist’s bio: Michelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist, educator, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting, bead weaving, embroidery, jewelry, transparent film installations, painting, ceramics, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story, re-make, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx, Chicanx, Mexican, and Texican peoples. Recently, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania), Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas, TX).

No prior experience with meditation is required. *What will you learn?* The guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation. Relaxation brings your body to a calm, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice. *Why Meditate?* While physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony. *Please take Learn to Meditate session if you are new to the practice.

Their efforts, among the first scientific projects in Mexico, yielded critical insights into social stratification, ritual behavior, and cultural development during the Late Formative Period (300-100 B.C.). Extensive archaeological survey projects in western Oaxaca have since placed Monte Negro in a regional context, underscoring dramatic settlement pattern changes during this period.

Our symposium is inspired by the 50th anniversary of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975, the cornerstone statute establishing the tribal self-determination era. The first quarter century of the self-determination era featured many great successes but mostly great frustrations often caused by federal reluctance to empower tribal nations. The second quarter century featured the rise of tribal political and economic power, but many of the same frustrations, this time more often caused by judicial decisions. As always, Indigenous leaders look to both the past and the future in consequential decisions for their nations. This symposium brings together many of today's most influential Indigenous leaders to assess the last fifty years and imagine what the next quarter century brings. Panelists include Indigenous elected officials, judges, and lawyers at the federal, state, and Tribal levels. Washington Supreme Court Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis, a citizen of the Pueblo of Laguna, will deliver a keynote address on Saturday. Panel 1, “The Past and Future of Indigenous Politics,” Friday, February 21 - Palmer Commons Forum Hall 1:30 – 3:00 PM, This panel will discuss the past and future of Indigenous people in politics and their service in elected or appointed political offices in the US state or federal government. Speakers are: Bryan Newland is Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs and a citizen of the Bay Mills Indian Community. Jeff Irwin is an elected member of the Michigan Senate and citizen of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Panel 2, “Lawyering Tribal Self-Determination,” Friday, February 21 - Palmer Commons Forum Hall 3:15 – 4:45 PM, This panel will address the underrepresentation of Indigenous people in law. Fifty years ago, few Indigenous people were lawyers, and almost no tribe was represented by Indigenous lawyers or law firms. Although there are many more Indigenous lawyers, they are still terribly underrepresented in the field. This panel of Indigenous lawyers will discuss their professional journeys and the profession's future Speakers are: Wenona T. Singel is an Associate Professor of Law at Michigan State Law School and a citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians Doreen Nanibaa McPaul is In-house counsel for Tohono O’Odham Nation, leader of the Tribal In-House Counsel Association, and citizen of the Navajo Nation. Mitchell Forbes is a Staff Attorney at the Native American Rights Fund and a citizen of the Native Village of Shishmaref Panel 3, “Indigenous Judging in Tribal and State Courts,” Saturday, February 22 - Michigan Union Anderson ABCD 10:00 – 11:30 AM Panel 3 will discuss Indigenous presence on the court. In 1975, few Indigenous people served as judges in federal, state, and tribal courts. Now, many Indigenous judges serve tribal communities, but only a few serve federal and state court systems. This panel will address the past and future of Indigenous judging. Speakers are: Gregory H. Bigler is a Tribal judge, lawyer, and citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Allie Greenleaf Maldonado is a Judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals and citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians Keynote Address: ""Descendant Daughter"" by Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis. Saturday, February 22 - Michigan Union Pendleton Room 12:30 – 1:45 PM Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis is a Justice of the Washington Supreme Court, a citizen of the Pueblo of Isleta, and a descendant of the Pueblo of Laguna. Panel 4, “International Indigenous Leadership” Saturday, February 22 - Michigan Union Pendleton Room 2:00 – 3:30 PM with Kyle Powys Whyte and Kristen Carpenter, This panel examines Indigenous participation in international spheres. Fifty years ago, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was barely a dream. It is a reality; however, the United States lags behind in its implementation. This panel will address the future of international law principles regarding Indigenous peoples in the U.S. Speakers are: Kyle Powys Whyte is George Willis Pack Professor in the School for Environment and Sustainability and University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor at the University of Michigan.

But too often, creators fail to learn from their initial hits, as their subsequent products lack the audience appeal of their initial hits. In this paper, I develop theory on learning transfer in creative work, focusing on how creators’ learning is shaped by the novelty (vs. typicality) of their initial hits in creative industries. I propose that creators who develop relatively novel initial hits are more likely to transfer deep learning that enhances the audience appeal of their subsequent creations, helping them generate additional hits after their initial one. I tested the theory using two studies: an archival study of 1,601 book authors and a pre-registered experiment. The archival study showed that authors with novel initial hits had better subsequent hit rates—a likely indicator of learning—than authors with more-typical initial hits. The experiment provided causal evidence that creators learn more deeply and effectively from novel than typical initial hits. Whereas prior research emphasizes that individuals learn best from multiple episodes of success, failure, or both over time, this research suggests creators who achieve novel initial hits can and do learn from one episode of extreme success.",https://events.umich.edu/event/130314,"Ross School of Business",R0220,"Ross School of Business",,"Business Discussion Entrepreneurship Free In Person Interdisciplinary Organizational Studies Presentation seminar Sociology Speaker Talk","Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS Department of Sociology Organizational Studies Program (OS)" 122314-21848593,"2025-02-21 14:00:00","2025-02-21 15:00:00","Craft Lecture: Memoir or the Ghost Archive","*Zell Visiting Writers Series*","Lecture / Discussion","Login here (no pre-registration needed): https://tinyurl.com/ZellWriters24 Seats are limited and are offered on a first come, first served basis; please arrive early to secure a spot.

Many challenging optimization problems in machine learning and scientific computing follow this approach—optimizing a small block of parameters cyclically, one at a time. Notable examples include Sinkhorn’s algorithm for computing optimal transport maps and Schrödinger bridges, as well as alternating least squares and multiplicative updates for matrix and tensor factorization. In this talk, we will explore the principles behind these methods (block majorization-minimization), why they often require less parameter tuning than first-order gradient-based approaches (via second-order analysis), and their recent extensions to Riemannian manifolds, with new results in Wasserstein variational inference. This talk is based on recent works with Yuchen Li (UW), Joowon Lee (UW), Laura Balzano (Michigan), Deanna Needell (UCLA), and Sumit Mukerjee (Columbia).

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: “How many workshops do I have to sign up for?” You only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training.  “I see that there is more than one session, does it matter which one I sign up for?” It 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.  “Is this workshop required?” This workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan. “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.”  Our 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 [email protected]. “What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.” Our 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.  “Can I request accommodations?” We 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 [email protected] if you are concerned or have questions.  “I missed my workshop, what should I do ?” Our 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.  “I have had gender-based violence training before, can I get this requirement waived?” As 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.  “I’m a commuter/non-traditional student, do I still have to attend?"" Yes, 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.

In this talk I will describe recent work in collaboration with Yifei He where we propose a bootstrap method to compute pion scattering phase shifts and low energy effective action coefficients. The method looks for the most general S-matrix that matches at low energy the tree level amplitudes of the non-linear sigma model and at high energy, QCD sum rules and form factors. This is a theoretical/numerical calculation that uses as only data the pion mass, pion decay constant fpi and the QCD parameters Nc=3, Nf=2, mq and alpha_s. The results are in reasonable agreement with experiment. In particular, we find the rho(770), f2(1270) and rho(1450) resonances. The interplay between the UV gauge theory and low energy pion physics is an example of a general situation where we know the microscopic theory as well as the effective theory of long wavelength fluctuations but we want to solve the strongly coupled dynamics at intermediate energies. The bootstrap builds a bridge between the low and high energy by determining the consistent S-matrix that matches both and provides, in this case, a new direction to understand the strongly coupled physics of gauge theories.",https://events.umich.edu/event/130752,"Randall Laboratory",3481,"Randall Laboratory",,"High Energy Theory Seminar Physics","Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics Department of Physics HET Seminars Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics Seminars Leinweber Center for Theoretical Physics High Energy Theory Seminars" 132236-21870629,"2025-02-21 15:00:00","2025-02-21 16:00:00","LSA Campus Tours for Transfer Students",,Tours,"Tired of campus tours designed for high school students?

This talk pries open the value chain of land assembly that underlies these transformations in a rapidly expanding peri-urban frontier of Bengaluru, India. Drawing on detailed interviews with land market intermediaries, operating across different scales, who were instrumental in assembling agricultural land for a large apartment complex, my talk shows how existing forms of social power and local knowledge are harnessed to create inter-scalar linkages that enable the creation and extraction of value in Indian real estate. It makes the case for understanding the economic and cultural work of intermediaries in animating land’s value chain as ‘articulation work’.

Abstract: The indigenous languages of the southeastern U.S. generally make use of dative applicatives, instrumental applicatives, and occasionally locative applicatives. I survey features of these languages from a typological perspective before focusing on specific differences in the uses of instrumental applicatives in Choctaw and Muscogee. While Choctaw appears to be relatively conservative, Muscogee has extended the instrumental to include semi-classificatory uses where an object has parts or is contained in another.

Growing up in the rich environment of New Orleans as the oldest son of pianist and educator Ellis Marsalis, Branford was drawn to music along with his younger siblings Wynton, Delfeayo, and Jason. His first instrument, the clarinet, gave way to the alto, and then the tenor and soprano saxophones; from there, he expanded his musical universe and now fully embraces both jazz and Western classical music, in addition to a burgeoning career as a composer. When asked a few years ago whether he finds classical music or jazz harder, the saxophonist said, “Classical is harder. Jazz is like a story that you personalize, but classical is a story where you can’t use your own words. It’s like reading Shakespeare or Chaucer.

PFC William Santiago, a young Marine who is considered a “weak link” in his unit, has died as a result of actions taken by two of his fellow marines. Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and PFC Louden Downey claim Santiago’s death was the accidental outcome of a routine hazing incident ordered by a superior officer. Their superior officers claim there was no such order and that the two men should be held accountable. Defending Dawson and Downey are three Navy attorneys who hold their own complicated (and sometimes conflicting) ideas of duty and honor: Daniel Kaffee, the son of a renowned lawyer whose career casts a long shadow; Sam Weinberg, who will do his best to defend the accused in spite of his suspicion that they are bullies; and Joanne Galloway, a lieutenant commander with strong instincts and minimal courtroom experience who is dead set on uncovering the truth no matter what. This fast-paced, high-stakes play raises timeless questions about the price of blind loyalty and the way ideals like honor and duty can be twisted until they are unrecognizable.

By presenting prison art from various countries in the MENA region, including Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, this exhibit unfolds as a “journey” into the prison system and demonstrates the ways in which art can be a tool of expression and reconciliation for survivors, detainees’ families, and society at large. It promotes drawing parallels between the prison experience in the region and worldwide, highlights the intentionality of carceral systems, and expands the conversation to include prison-impacted communities. Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals. Curated by Sumaya Tabbah and Susan Aboeid of The Ḥafathah Collective, this traveling exhibit was organized by U-M Students Organize for Syria (SOS) in partnership with U-M Library and with support from the U-M Arts Initiative.

Our symposium is inspired by the 50th anniversary of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975, the cornerstone statute establishing the tribal self-determination era. The first quarter century of the self-determination era featured many great successes but mostly great frustrations often caused by federal reluctance to empower tribal nations. The second quarter century featured the rise of tribal political and economic power, but many of the same frustrations, this time more often caused by judicial decisions. As always, Indigenous leaders look to both the past and the future in consequential decisions for their nations. This symposium brings together many of today's most influential Indigenous leaders to assess the last fifty years and imagine what the next quarter century brings. Panelists include Indigenous elected officials, judges, and lawyers at the federal, state, and Tribal levels. Washington Supreme Court Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis, a citizen of the Pueblo of Laguna, will deliver a keynote address on Saturday. Panel 1, “The Past and Future of Indigenous Politics,” Friday, February 21 - Palmer Commons Forum Hall 1:30 – 3:00 PM, This panel will discuss the past and future of Indigenous people in politics and their service in elected or appointed political offices in the US state or federal government. Speakers are: Bryan Newland is Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs and a citizen of the Bay Mills Indian Community. Jeff Irwin is an elected member of the Michigan Senate and citizen of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Panel 2, “Lawyering Tribal Self-Determination,” Friday, February 21 - Palmer Commons Forum Hall 3:15 – 4:45 PM, This panel will address the underrepresentation of Indigenous people in law. Fifty years ago, few Indigenous people were lawyers, and almost no tribe was represented by Indigenous lawyers or law firms. Although there are many more Indigenous lawyers, they are still terribly underrepresented in the field. This panel of Indigenous lawyers will discuss their professional journeys and the profession's future Speakers are: Wenona T. Singel is an Associate Professor of Law at Michigan State Law School and a citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians Doreen Nanibaa McPaul is In-house counsel for Tohono O’Odham Nation, leader of the Tribal In-House Counsel Association, and citizen of the Navajo Nation.

In 1975, few Indigenous people served as judges in federal, state, and tribal courts. Now, many Indigenous judges serve tribal communities, but only a few serve federal and state court systems. This panel will address the past and future of Indigenous judging. Speakers are: Gregory H. Bigler is a Tribal judge, lawyer, and citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Allie Greenleaf Maldonado is a Judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals and citizen of the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians Keynote Address: ""Descendant Daughter"" by Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis.

Make Yourself At Home. A Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time.  As a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future. This collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience. So gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.

To foster these connections, the UMSI DEI Office, UMSI Student Life, and the Race+Tech group are organizing a series of field trips, titled Discover and Reflect: Museum Series, which will take us to local museums that bring these stories to life.  Discover and Reflect: Museum Series seeks to educate students on the varied, complex, and inspiring cultures that make up our diverse community. These trips also underscore the importance of archives and libraries, which are integral to both our curriculum and the preservation of diverse histories.

In recent times, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them. Pieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.   In this online exhibition, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery, which will open in early 2021, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history.  By challenging our own practice, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles, and fails to settle for, simple narratives.  “Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed, so ornate, so planned, they call attention to themselves; arrest us with intentionality and purpose, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.”  — Toni Morrison Lead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the U-M Arts Initiative, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.  ",https://events.umich.edu/event/84303,"Museum of Art","European and American Decorative Art","Museum of Art",,"Art European Exhibition History Museum UMMA","University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)" 84304-21622383,"2025-02-22 11:00:00","2025-02-22 20:00:00","We Write To You About Africa",,Exhibition,"Following years of research into the Museum’s and University of Michigan’s relationships with Africa and African art collections, We Write To You About Africa is a complete reinstallation and doubling of the Museum’s space dedicated to African art.  Featuring a wide range of artworks—from historic Yoruba and Kongo figures to contemporary works by African and African American artists, such as Sam Nhlengenthwa, Masimba Hwati, Jon Onye Lockard and Shani Peters—the exhibition directly addresses the complex and difficult histories inherent to African art collections in the Global North, including their entanglements with colonization and global efforts to repatriate African artworks to the continent. Art collections, by their very nature, can not be anything other than subjective. With I Write To You About Africa, we examine the subjective ways UMMA and the University of Michigan as a whole have collected and presented art from and connected to the African diaspora. Drawn from art collections across the U-M campus, a special section of the exhibition highlights how the founding of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS) and the African Studies Center (ASC) impacted U–M’s collecting practices. This section includes an exciting and ongoing project—contemporary African artists, scholars, and curators will be asked to write about their work on postcards, in their first language, and mail them to UMMA where they will be displayed alongside their works.  We Write To You About Africa will be a reinstallation of the Museum’s Robert and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Gallery of African art and the connected Alfred A Taubman Gallery II. It is slated to open in 2021 and will be on view indefinitely.

Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home, placemaking, labor, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today. Artist’s bio: Michelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist, educator, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting, bead weaving, embroidery, jewelry, transparent film installations, painting, ceramics, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story, re-make, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx, Chicanx, Mexican, and Texican peoples. Recently, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania), Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas, TX).

PFC William Santiago, a young Marine who is considered a “weak link” in his unit, has died as a result of actions taken by two of his fellow marines. Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and PFC Louden Downey claim Santiago’s death was the accidental outcome of a routine hazing incident ordered by a superior officer. Their superior officers claim there was no such order and that the two men should be held accountable. Defending Dawson and Downey are three Navy attorneys who hold their own complicated (and sometimes conflicting) ideas of duty and honor: Daniel Kaffee, the son of a renowned lawyer whose career casts a long shadow; Sam Weinberg, who will do his best to defend the accused in spite of his suspicion that they are bullies; and Joanne Galloway, a lieutenant commander with strong instincts and minimal courtroom experience who is dead set on uncovering the truth no matter what. This fast-paced, high-stakes play raises timeless questions about the price of blind loyalty and the way ideals like honor and duty can be twisted until they are unrecognizable.

The concert will start with four tender songs written by a young Dvořák courting his first love, followed by the varyingly hopeful and dreadful intensity of Kenji Bunch's ""Concussion Theory"" – a work built around the misplaced theory of that time among certain towns that dynamite exploded in the atmosphere could spur on rainfall to end their crippling drought. Rounding out the program is a monumental Czech work, a piano quintet by Dvořák's son-in-law and greatest protege, Josef Suk. For this, the Telegraph Quartet will welcome two stellar University of Michigan doctoral candidates, pianist Jinzhao Xu and cellist Youngeun Lee, competition winners in their own right. ABOUT SMTD's QUARTET-IN-RESIDENCE The TELEGRAPH QUARTET (Eric Chin and Joseph Maile, violins; Pei-Ling Lin, viola; Jeremiah Shaw, cello) formed in 2013 with an equal passion for standard and contemporary chamber music repertoire. 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. The 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. In August 2023, the Telegraph Quartet released its latest album *Divergent Paths*, the first in a series of recordings titled *20th Century Vantage Points*, on Azica Records. *Divergent Paths*, featuring Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major and Schoenberg’s String Quartet No. 1 in D minor, Op. 7, follows *Into The Light* (Centaur, 2018), an album highlighting a gripping set of works by Leon Kirchner, Anton Webern, and Benjamin Britten.",https://events.umich.edu/event/129691,"Walgreen Drama Center","Stamps Auditorium","Walgreen Drama Center","Free - no tickets required","Faculty Free Music North Campus","School of Music, Theatre & Dance" 129609-21864213,"2025-02-22 20:00:00",,"The Ark's 38th Annual Storytelling Festival","Presented by The Ark",Performance,"Celebrate the art of storytelling!
