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.

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)" 84304-21622414,"2025-03-30 11:00:00","2025-03-30 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.

Visions of the deceased former butler and governess seem to be influencing the children towards evil. The new governess soon finds herself in an unearthly struggle for the children’s souls.

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.

As a student-led chapter of the internationally renowned Partners in Health organization, we are committed to advocating for equitable healthcare solutions, amplifying marginalized voices, and inspiring systemic change.This gala stems from a rich history of grassroots movements that recognize healthcare as a human right, not a privilege. Founded on the belief that every individual deserves access to quality healthcare regardless of socioeconomic status, our chapter has consistently worked to uphold this vision through advocacy, education, and service. The gala represents a new chapter in our mission: uniting campus organizations and community members around the shared goal of addressing critical global and public health challenges.The Health Equity Gala serves as a platform to spotlight the disparities in healthcare access, particularly in the context of an evolving political landscape where conservative policies may threaten progress in public health equity. By bringing together a diverse coalition of public health and global health organizations on campus, we aim to foster dialogue, share resources, and build actionable strategies to combat these disparities.We invite you to join us in celebrating the power of collective action and the potential for transformative change.

Here was a singer-songwriter with a striking baritone voice that made you feel like you'd been hearing it all your life.

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.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity, an installation by Gluklya","Gluklya, artist",Exhibition,"Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender, class, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. ""Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity"" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film, sculpture, watercolors, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women, Gluklya explores issues of poverty, isolation, and exploitation among the garment workers. Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the ""Likbez"" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions, like ""Ala Kachuu"" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.

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. 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.

Neotropical plant lineages have traced diverse evolutionary histories, ranging from species and ecologically poor lineages to adaptive radiations. While morphologically and ecologically diverse clades have been extensively used to understand Neotropical plant diversification in space over time, lineages expressing little morphological disparity have been generally understudied. My research will focus on Neotropical myrtles (Myrtaceae), which have been a source of challenge to many field biologists, herbarium botanists and horticulturists for centuries for being both species-rich and morphologically homogeneous. I will employ phylogenetic comparative methods and experiments to investigate the adaptive value of structures in the seemingly ‘monotonous’ myrtle flower, testing the hypothesis of predator-induced fusion of the calyx. Using a newly produced molecular phylogeny, I will investigate trait divergence and biogeography in early stages of species diversification using a sister-species approach, as well as mechanisms of co-existence where species show high levels of sympatry. This is a hybrid event.

In this talk, Dr. van Anders discusses methods, theories, and results from her interdisciplinary, feminist and queer science research program, focusing on gender/sex and sexual diversity, as well as hormones and bioscience. Dr. van Anders highlights how these approaches can contribute to research in bioscience and beyond for understandings of gender/sex and sexual diversity that are dynamic and multifaceted, as well as more accurate, empirical, and just. About the speaker: After a decade at the University of Michigan in Psychology and Women’s Studies, Dr. Sari van Anders joined Queen’s University as the Canada 150 Research Chair in Social Neuroendocrinology, Sexuality, and Gender/Sex, and Professor of Psychology, Gender Studies, and Neuroscience. Her work and lab has been recognized with over 80 awards, including the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the Society for the Psychology of Sexual Orientation & Gender Diversity, the APS Janet Taylor Spence Award for Transformative Early Career Contributions, as well as election to the Royal Society of Canada. Dr. van Anders is committed to progressive transformation efforts for academic spaces and beyond. * Note that due to unforeseen circumstances, Dr. van Anders will no longer be presenting in person.

Description: Nicholas’ path towards a Ph.D. and carbon capture research is far from perfect. His lifelong battle with depression contributed towards him being on and off academic probation and mandatory leave several times from the University of Michigan. In 2015, he gave college one last try and not only went onto earn his bachelor’s in chemical engineering, but also a doctorate degree from Clemson University in 2023. Nicholas hopes to use his story as a means for inspiring other struggling students. It’s never too late to consciously decide you want to make a change and go down a different path. Nicholas was born with sensorineural hearing loss and has navigated the lifelong challenge of hearing impairment. He hopes to use his experiences as a partially deaf person to inspire other hard of hearing people to pursue advanced STEM degrees. About Nicholas: Nicholas received his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan in 2016, then went on to complete a doctorate degree from Clemson University in 2023. He joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a postdoctoral researcher in January 2024 in the Soft Materials and Membranes group. He is currently investigating advanced materials for energy-efficient carbon dioxide removal from power plant emissions and oceanic seawater. Outside of work, he is an avid vinyl collector and enjoys attending concerts and music festivals with friends. He also enjoys cooking and spending time with his 17-pound cat, Molson.",https://events.umich.edu/event/133304,"Pierpont Commons","Boulevard Room","Pierpont Commons",,"chemical engineering Graduate Michigan Engineering Undergraduate","Chemical Engineering" 134094-21873854,"2025-03-31 15:30:00","2025-03-31 17:00:00","RCGD Seminar Series and Katz-Newcomb Colloquium Series: Bill Chopik","Optimism and health: Resource or delusion?","Workshop / Seminar","Dr. Bill Chopik (he/his/him) joins us at the University of Michigan March 31, 3025, for a talk co-sponsored by the Research Center for Group Dynamics and the Katz-Newcomb Colloquium Series. Does it always help to look on the bright side of life and a situation? Years of individual difference and lifespan development research have framed optimism—the tendency to expect positive things in the future—as an asset that protects against physical and cognitive decline. There is also an assumption that optimism is a purely individual resource, originating from people alone, irrespective of their environments. In this talk, Chopik will revisit these approaches and provide some evidence that people are optimistic even when they shouldn’t be, how the optimism of other people affects us, and how where you live might alter how you think about the future. The goal of this session is to give you a crash course on optimism and where it comes from—topics that expand our understanding of health and resilience and should be of interest to everyone, even if you’re a pessimist at heart. Dr. Chopik is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Michigan State University. He studies how close relationships—and the people in them—change over time and across situations. Dr. Chopik’s work examines phenomena as broad as how relationships and social institutions shape development and as focused as the mechanisms that underlie the link between close relationships and health. In 2017, Dr. Chopik was recognized as one of Forbes Magazine’s Top 30 Scientists Under 30 and has since been recognized as a Rising Star by the Association for Psychological Science. David Dunning, organizer of the Katz-Newcomb speaker series in Psychology and an associate of the Research Center for Group Dynamics, hosts. RCGD's winter 2025 seminar series covers a variety of topics in social science, including social cognition, structural racism, romantic relationships, and cognitive health.

Mission Driven Bureaucrats offers a roadmap for how governments can break from the status quo and cultivate a workforce of dedicated, empowered public servants. When bureaucrats are empowered to act on their mission-driven impulses, the results can be extraordinary.

His research and teaching concentrate on U.S.-China relations, U.S. empire, immigration, and the Asian American experience. His book manuscript—entitled Imperial Stewards: Chinese Art and the Cultural Origins of America's Pacific Century—examines Chinese art collecting in the U.S. in the early 20th century as a contested process of knowledge production that bolstered ideas of American exceptionalism, even while it relied on transpacific circuits of labor and expertise. Jeff Yang has been observing, exploring, and writing about the Asian American community for over thirty years. He launched one of the first Asian American national magazines, A. Magazine, in the late nineties and early 2000s, and now writes frequently for CNN, New York Times, and elsewhere.

We introduce a family of random curves in the plane which encode the random values of certain nonlinear functionals of fractional Brownian motions on a circle with Hurst index s - 1/2. For a special choice of Cameron-Martin shift, the low variance limit of the fractional Brownian motion induces a LLN and CLT for the associated random curves that is nearly identical to the global behavior of Plancherel measures on large Young diagrams. The limit shape is independent of s and is that of Vershik-Kerov-Logan-Shepp. The global Gaussian fluctuations depend on s and coincide with the process in Kerov's CLT for s = -1/2. We give a dynamical explanation of this relationship using results of Eliashberg and Dubrovin.

His reporting assignments have included war, dictatorship, political upheaval, popular culture, nationalism, civil strife, and economic collapse. How exactly does one break into the job market for foreign correspondent work? What steps and strategies might a young professional adapt to seamlessly transition between careers?

This workshop will help to develop the script for that production. The cast for this public reading of the play is comprised of SMTD students and faculty. *The American Five* offers an incisive look into a single, society-shifting moment in American history while turning our perspective toward a horizon of plurality. This play’s kaleidoscope structure examines the multi-generational relationship of Black and Jewish Americans. When a perspective-challenging professor invokes the “Rules of Engagement” inside the classroom, tensions rise over a discussion about anti-Semitic headlines.

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.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity, an installation by Gluklya","Gluklya, artist",Exhibition,"Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender, class, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. ""Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity"" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film, sculpture, watercolors, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women, Gluklya explores issues of poverty, isolation, and exploitation among the garment workers. Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the ""Likbez"" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions, like ""Ala Kachuu"" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.

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)" 84304-21622415,"2025-04-01 11:00:00","2025-04-01 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.

We incorporate race into an overlapping-generations spatial-equilibrium model with parental investment and neighborhood spillovers. Race matters due to: (i) a Black-White wage gap, (ii) amenity externalities—households care about their neighborhood’s racial composition—and (iii) additional barriers to moving for Black households. We find that these forces account for 71% of the racial segregation and 64% of the BlackWhite gap in college attainment for the St. Louis metro area. The presence of spillovers and externalities generates multiple equilibria. Although St. Louis is in a segregated equilibrium, there also exists an integrated equilibrium with a lower college gap. We compare various place-based policy interventions to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing segregation and destabilizing the segregated equilibrium.",https://events.umich.edu/event/130224,"Lorch Hall",201,"Lorch Hall",,"Economics Macroeconomics seminar","Department of Economics Michael Beauregard Seminar in Macroeconomics Department of Economics Seminars" 117733-21866085,"2025-04-01 11:30:00","2025-04-01 12:30:00","Up to $50,000 Grant For Student Sustainability Projects","Planet Blue Student Innovation Fund and The Social and Environmental Sustainability grant.",Meeting,"The Student Sustainability Coalition is awarding up to $50,000 for student driven projects that enhance sustainability or in some instances social sustainability for the University of Michigan's campus community.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/qV3kX Natalia Forrat is a social scientist studying democracy, authoritarianism, state power, and civil society. She obtained her PhD from Northwestern University and held academic appointments at Stanford University, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Michigan. Currently, she is a lecturer at the Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies at the University of Michigan. Why are some authoritarian regimes highly competitive and others highly unified? Do they function differently? And what does it mean for our understanding of democracy and democratization? The Social Roots of Authoritarianism unpacks the grassroots mechanisms maintaining unity-based and division-based authoritarianisms. It argues that they develop in societies with opposite visions: the state as team leader or the state as outsider. Depending on which vision of the state is dominant in society, autocrats must use different tools to consolidate their regimes or risk pushback. The book demonstrates the grassroots mechanisms of authoritarian power comparing four Russian regions with opposite patterns of electoral performance—the Rostov region, the Kemerovo region, the Republic of Tatarstan, and the Republic of Altai. In two of them, public organizations formed centralized political machines and blended civic and political functions amplified by the teamwork logic. In the other two, clientelistic political machines ruled by the utility maximization logic dominated. The theory of unity- and division-based authoritarianisms developed in the book implies that these types of authoritarian regimes miss the opposite elements of democracy, and that democratization depends on cultivating these missing institutions over time.

Strong winds from these storms cause widespread damage to trees, thus affecting their demography by increasing mortality risk and altering their growth dynamics and abundance changes in the aftermath. Functional trait ecology allows us to quantitatively measure the physiological mechanisms that underpin tree demographic variation and TC responses, but these demographic dynamics and trait-demography connections vary in magnitude, direction, and strength across impacted forest systems. In light of this variation, my research will incorporate both functional trait and characteristics of present and past cyclone impacts to determine which predictors modulate demographic responses on a global scale; and will investigate individual, population, and community-level functional trait patterns and how these inform growth rate dynamism in a TC-prone forest in Puerto Rico. With the frequency of intense TCs and their geographic range of impacts both forecasted to increase with climate change, a mechanistic and comprehensive understanding of forest responses to these events is more important than ever before.",https://events.umich.edu/event/134546,"Biological Sciences Building",1010,"Biological Sciences Building",,"Bsbsigns climate ecology Ecology & Biology Ecology And Evolutionary Biology Ecosystems Environment environmental","Ecology and Evolutionary Biology EEB Tuesday Lunch Seminars" 132958-21872128,"2025-04-01 12:00:00","2025-04-01 12:50:00","Environmental chemicals & neurotoxicity across the lifespan: a focus on mid-to-late life","Environmental Research Webinar, presented by Julia Anglen Bauer, MS, PhD (Univ of IL Chicago)","Livestream / Virtual","The Integrated Health Sciences Core's webinar series is an interdisciplinary forum for interested researchers to come together to learn and discuss wide-ranging issues in the field of environmental health.

Discover three simple techniques—relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation—in just three master classes. Relaxation brings your body into a calm, steady state, fostering physical stillness and preparing the mind for meditation. Rejuvenation clears the mind, helping to release stress and complex emotions, leaving you feeling light and refreshed. Meditation is a mindful journey inward, connecting with your inner self by tuning into your heart's voice. It’s like a mental workout, training the mind to focus on a single thought amid the 50,000 that pass through daily. This practice cultivates effortless concentration, heightened awareness, and presence in the moment, allowing a shift from thinking to feeling. Meditation also leads to a deeper state of relaxation, regulating the stress response and promoting numerous health benefits. The session will be guided by a trainer via Zoom meeting for all 3 days from noon to 1 p.m. All U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to join at no cost. No prior experience with meditation is required.

Such intimacies are not always pleasant, and the first part of this presentation shows their emotional weight. The second part turns to how the rapid urbanization of the area over the past two decades has interrupted the responsibilities of care, creating an affect of frustration. In a concluding example, the frustration spiraled into madness for one woman, whose alternate chanting and screaming marked how kinship ties of both blood and affect had been severed by the forces of urbanization.

Yet evaluations of recent preschool programs produce puzzling findings, including negative impacts, and divergent, weaker results than were shown in demonstration programs implemented in the 1960s and 70s. In this talk, I will present our team’s review of more recent, rigorous studies that supports more cautious conclusions regarding the long-term effectiveness of today’s preschool programs. I will then provide potential explanations for why modern evaluations of preschool programs have produced less positive and more mixed results, focusing on changes in a broad range of counterfactual conditions and preschool instructional practices. I will also address popular explanations such as subsequent low-quality schooling experiences that, we argue, do not appear to account for weakening program effectiveness. The field must take seriously the smaller positive, null, and negative impacts from modern programs and strive to understand why effects vary and how to boost program effectiveness through rigorous, longitudinal research. Biography: Jade Marcus Jenkins is an Associate Professor at the University of California Irvine School of Education studying early childhood policy. Her work is multidisciplinary, focusing on issues that are amenable to educational and social policy intervention, using diverse research methods to evaluate programs and understand the mechanisms that promote child and family wellbeing. She received her B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Florida in Family, Youth and Community Sciences, and Ph.D. in Public Policy from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After the M.S. program, Jade worked at a quasi-governmental nonprofit in Florida’s early childhood care and education system. This firsthand experience in policy implementation was her primary motivation to pursue a Ph.D. in public policy and specialize in early childhood development to learn how to evaluate and develop policies that provide support for families with young children and reduce poverty in the long-term.",https://events.umich.edu/event/134086,"Institute For Social Research",1430BD,"Institute For Social Research",,"Children Education","Survey Research Center Institute for Social Research" 132683-21871584,"2025-04-01 14:30:00","2025-04-01 15:30:00","Bring a Folding Chair: Making Room at the Table for Health Equity","Multiple conference events and sessions","Conference / Symposium","Join us at SPH at 1pm on April 1, 2025 in the Cornely Community Room (Rm 1680 SPH I) for a short lecture by Dr. Renee Branch Canady followed by a dialog between Dr. Canady and Dr. Cleo Caldwell.

Presenting images she collected while working as a “data cleaner” for various AI systems, she will address the ways in which machines are disciplined and trained to see. Tracing, bounding-boxing, and labeling are key operations used to teach machines to separate Data from data, signal from noise, and orderly things from disorderly ones. They are also, Giardina Papa argues, the onto-epistemological operations of modern imperial and colonial conquest. To address AI’s normative impulse to divide and classify, create hierarchies and produce difference, we need to understand machine vision not only as a “new” tool of extractive capitalism but also, more importantly, as one of the many tools of a recursive hegemonic ordering of the world. Ultimately, this talk will be an invitation to reflect on modes of seeing otherwise which remain radically unruly, irreducible, and incomputable. Elisa Giardina Papa is an artist and scholar, Assistant Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University. Her research-based art practice seeks forms of knowledge and desire that have been lost or forgotten, disqualified, and rendered nonsensical by hegemonic demands for order and legibility. Working across Artificial intelligence-based projects, large-scale video installations, experimental films, and writing, she draws attention to those aspects of our lives that remain radically incomputable. Her work has been exhibited at the 59th Biennale di Venezia (The Milk of Dreams), the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA’s Modern Mondays), the Whitney Museum (Sunrise/Sunset Commission), Martin-Gropius-Bau Berlin, ICA and Frieze London, BFI London Film Festival, Vienna Secession, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Haus Der Kulturen Der Welt (HKW) Berlin, 6th Buenos Aires Bienal de la Imagen en Movimiento, Seoul Mediacity Biennale 2018, the Center for Contemporary Art Tashkent, Uzbekistan, M+ Hong Kong, among others. Her latest art book, Leaking Subjects and Bounding Boxes: On Training AI (Sorry Press, 2022), documents the methods currently used to teach Artificial intelligence to capture, classify, and order the world and presents a collection of images that exceed computation. Forthcoming essays include the foreword for Informatics of Domination (Duke University Press, 2024). Elisa Giardina Papa co-founded the artist collective Radha May. Alongside Indian artist Nupur Mathur and Ugandan artist Bathsheba Okwenje, they collaborate on performances and art installations that uncover hidden histories and marginalized sites, examining their intersections with gender, sexuality, and colonialism. She holds a Ph.D. in Film and Media from the University of California, Berkeley, and has previously held positions at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and the Rhode Island School of Design.

However, successful cooperation also relies on people’s ability to discern when, how, and with whom to invest their limited time and resources. Despite the centrality of cooperation to human flourishing, the ecological, cultural, and psychological mechanisms that facilitate cooperation require further investigation. Using a variety of methods — including surveys, experiments, longitudinal studies and field research — with diverse groups (e.g., American ranchers, Nicaraguan horticulturalists, nationally representative samples, multinational participants), I will present findings addressing three central questions: (1) Why do people cooperate? (2) What are the psychological mechanisms underlying cooperation? and (3) What are the consequences of cooperation for relationships, collective-risk management and well-being? Across several studies, I'll show how positive interdependence guides people’s cooperative motives, behaviors and other-oriented emotions (e.g., empathic concern). I will conclude by advancing and suggesting future directions based on a theoretical framework in which interdependence and cooperation act as mediating factors linking socio-ecological circumstances to social integration and well-being.",https://events.umich.edu/event/133757,"East Hall",4448,"East Hall",,"Anthropology Psychology Psychology Departmental","Department of Psychology Evolution & Human Adaptations Program (EHAP)" 127841-21859808,"2025-04-01 16:00:00","2025-04-01 20:00:00","EV Center Symposium",,"Conference / Symposium","Save the Date: EV Symposium – April 1-2, 2025 Mark your calendars!

Nash, Endowed Chair in U.S. History and professor of African American studies at the University of California, Los Angeles, will deliver this year’s Betty Ch’maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture. His many notable publications include Africa Speaks, America Answers: Modern Jazz in Revolutionary Times (2012); Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original (2009); Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination (2002); Race Rebels: Culture, Politics, and the Black Working Class (1994); and Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists During the Great Depression (1990). The Annual Betty Ch’maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture Series, established to honor Betty Ch'maj's legacy, was made possible with generous support from the Ch’maj family. In 1961, Ch’maj received the very first Ph.D. in American Culture at Michigan. She continued her career researching American literature and music, founding the Radical Caucus of the American Studies Association in the 1970s and working to challenge systemic gender discrimination in American Studies programs. Kelley’s lecture will draw historical lessons and parallels between our current moment and 1962, the year of Dr. Betty Ch’maj’s landmark essay, “Paranoid Patriotism: The Radical Right and the South.” From the resurgence of the Klan to the rise of the alt-right, Kelley will explore how the extreme Right is no longer just extreme but mainstream and why our current era may be more dangerous and reactionary than any other in modern U.S. history.

Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy, activism, policy, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships, center community-defined priorities, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations. **This workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering, Engaging, and Exiting (E3) session.

Activities will occur during group to help build these skills, and tasks to practice at home between group sessions will be also provided.

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.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity, an installation by Gluklya","Gluklya, artist",Exhibition,"Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender, class, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. ""Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity"" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film, sculpture, watercolors, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women, Gluklya explores issues of poverty, isolation, and exploitation among the garment workers. Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the ""Likbez"" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions, like ""Ala Kachuu"" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.

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.

Media Studies Between Crisis and Critique","Graduate Student Workshop and Panel Lecture co-hosted by the Digital Studies Institute and Department of English Language & Literature","Conference / Symposium","Media today are our situation; they constitute the fabric of living. But a number of new crises–and subjects–have profoundly shaped the field of media studies, including an environmental turn in media studies, elemental media, ubiquitous computing, distributed sensing, and pervasive algorithms and artificial intelligence. Accordingly, this conference revists and updates Mark B.N. Hansen and WJT Mitchell’s landmark Critical Terms for Media Studies (2010) by accounting for how these new ways of thinking impact the subjective, aesthetic, political, material and economic registers of life and living in the twenty-first century. In particular, the conference will explore the many disciplinary and post-disciplinary transformations in the study of media since its publication (including the moment of “post-critique”). To that end, the conference will bring together an interdisciplinary set of emerging scholars external to the University of Michigan with UM graduate students and faculty to reconsider the project of media critique today. The morning session (10:00 am-11:30 am, Digital Studies Institute Lab Space) is reserved for a limited-capacity working session with the invited speakers for graduate students involved broadly in the critical study of media. RSVP here: https://myumi.ch/qZkRx The afternoon (2:00 pm- 5:00 pm, Hatcher Graduate Library, Hatcher Gallery, Room 100) will consist of four 45-minute “Keyword Panel” sessions, with a talk by each guest speaker followed by a dialogue with U-M faculty. The panel discussion is open to graduate students, the Digital Studies Institute, University of Michigan faculty and students, and the general public to reflect on post-disciplinary or trans-disciplinary turns within the study of media technology and culture as well as new limits and possibilities for media critique.

He holds a PhD in English Literature, with a designated emphasis in Science and Technology Studies, from University of California, Davis. Ranjodh’s research, which traces the aesthetic and political entanglements of our technological cultures, lies at the intersections of science fiction studies, critical media theory, and histories of science and technology. Thomas Patrick Pringle is an Assistant Professor of Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Southern California. He received his Ph.D. in Modern Culture and Media from Brown University. Pringle focuses on historical approaches to film and media, with an emphasis on how media shape how environments are conceived in a given place and time and how technologies interact with physical environments. ​​Anna Shechtman is an Assistant Professor of Literatures in English, specializing in media studies and American literature. She is writing a two-volume history of the “media” and “data” concepts in the United States. The first examines the social formations and technologies of production that have allowed ""media"" to incorporate—and perhaps even supersede—the categories of ""art,"" ""literature,"" ""communication,"" and ""culture"" in the second half of the 20th century. Hannah Zeavin is a scholar, writer, and editor whose work centers on the history of human sciences (psychoanalysis, psychology, and psychiatry), the history of technology and media, feminist science and technology studies, and media theory. Zeavin is an Assistant Professor of History (Science / North America) in the Department of History and The Berkeley Center for New Media at UC Berkeley.

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)" 84304-21622416,"2025-04-02 11:00:00","2025-04-02 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).

Discover three simple techniques—relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation—in just three master classes. Relaxation brings your body into a calm, steady state, fostering physical stillness and preparing the mind for meditation. Rejuvenation clears the mind, helping to release stress and complex emotions, leaving you feeling light and refreshed. Meditation is a mindful journey inward, connecting with your inner self by tuning into your heart's voice. It’s like a mental workout, training the mind to focus on a single thought amid the 50,000 that pass through daily. This practice cultivates effortless concentration, heightened awareness, and presence in the moment, allowing a shift from thinking to feeling. Meditation also leads to a deeper state of relaxation, regulating the stress response and promoting numerous health benefits. The session will be guided by a trainer via Zoom meeting for all 3 days from noon to 1 p.m. All U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to join at no cost. No prior experience with meditation is required.

Improve Survey Inference Using Bayesian Machine Learning We consider survey inference from nonrandom samples in data-rich settings where high-dimensional auxiliary information is available both in the sample and the target population. When we have access to the individual-level data of the auxiliary variables in the population, we propose a regularized predictive inference approach that predicts the outcomes in the population based on the large number of auxiliary variables using Bayesian additive regression trees (BARTs) and its extensions. Our simulation studies reveal that the regularized predictions using BARTs yield valid inferences for the population means with coverage rates close to the nominal levels. We extend the method to accommodate two-phase designs, scenarios involving population data with confidentiality constraints, and cases where only the population margins of the auxiliary variables are available. We demonstrate the application of the proposed methods using health surveys. Dr. Qixuan Chen is Associate Professor of Biostatistics at Columbia University. She obtained her PhD in Biostatistics from the University of Michigan in 2009. Her research focuses on survey sampling, missing data, measurement error, data integration, and Bayesian modeling. She collaborates extensively with interdisciplinary researchers on the design and analysis of longitudinal and cross-sectional health surveys at local, national, and international levels.

Thurnau Professor of Sociology and Afroamerican and African Studies, and Public Policy Moderator: Dr. Kevin Cokley, University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor, Professor of Psychology, Associate Chair for Diversity Initiatives The assault on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is one of several threats to higher education. These threats are part of what former U-M president Lee Bollinger has characterized as “an authoritarian takeover of the U.S. government”. For years the University of Michigan has been a higher education leader in DEI initiatives, operating one of the most comprehensive DEI operations in the country. This has made U-M a target, resulting in a New York Times article critically evaluating DEI at U-M and concluding that students and faculty are more frustrated than ever. Instead of defending diversity as prior U-M leadership has done, current leadership has engaged in “anticipatory compliance” by banning diversity statements and threatening to cut funding from a “DEI bureaucracy”. Diversity officers from across the country are closely watching what happens at U-M, because successfully dismantling DEI at U-M would send shock waves throughout higher education and likely represent DEI’s last stand. In this panel, participants from different disciplinary backgrounds who are part of a DEI workgroup will discuss their efforts to defend DEI at U-M. They will discuss the strategies they have used and describe the successes as well as ongoing challenges of their efforts.",https://events.umich.edu/event/133888,"East Hall",4448,"East Hall",,"Diversity Psychology Psychology Departmental","Department of Psychology LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" 129829-21864621,"2025-04-02 14:00:00","2025-04-02 15:00:00","Rackham Consultation Services: Virtual Office Hours",,"Livestream / Virtual","If you have a quick question or have a time sensitive matter, attend the Rackham Consultation Services open office hours weekly on Monday and Wednesday from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. via Zoom.

Using a survey of 20,000 job movers in Denmark, we elicit workers’ reservation wage to return to their previous job. Our sample contains a large, connected network of firms, enabling us to estimate firm-wide premia and match effects in amenities. Overall, higher-paying firms provide slightly worse non-pay amenities. Although they provide better perks and flexibility, they also come with higher layoff risk, faster work pace, and greater stress. On average, moves to jobs offering 10% higher pay involve a 5% reduction in the value of amenities, with 0.7% attributable to firm-wide tradeoffs and the remainder attributable to match effects. Using a standard search model, we quantify the role of amenities in labor market inequality while accounting for endogenous mobility. While firms in the top wage decile pay 16% more than those in the bottom decile, the difference in total utility remains substantial at 12% of wages, reflecting that most amenity-wage tradeoffs are idiosyncratic.",https://events.umich.edu/event/134321,"Lorch Hall",201,"Lorch Hall",,"Economics Labor seminar","Department of Economics ISR-Zwerdling Seminar in Labor Economics Department of Economics Seminars" 133180-21872547,"2025-04-02 15:00:00","2025-04-02 18:00:00","A Collaborative Community Art Experience","with renowned visual artist, Hillel Smith",Other,"A Collaborative Art Experience with Hillel Smith: Join us for a unique and meaningful art event led by future social workers of the Jewish Communal Leadership Program (JCLP) in partnership with U-M Hillel and the Jewish Community Center of Greater Ann Arbor.

In this talk, I will present several recent methods developed to address these challenges across diverse studies, assay types, and organisms, leveraging novel statistical and machine learning approaches. First, I will introduce ALPINE, an NMF-based framework that disentangles the influence of technical and non-relevant phenotypic factors in single-cell transcriptomic data, enabling the integration of multiple studies. Integrating across data types, I will discuss our method, seismic, which combines genome-wide association studies with single-cell RNA sequencing to prioritize disease-relevant cell types, linking genetic variation to cellular function. Finally, I will discuss ETNA, a machine translation-inspired approach that embeds protein-protein interaction networks from different organisms into a shared space, facilitating cross-species functional comparisons. Together, these methods highlight how diverse data sources can be integrated across molecular, cellular, and organism levels to better model complex disease biology.",https://events.umich.edu/event/133290,,"Forum Hall",,,"Applications Artificial Intelligence Basic Science Biointerfaces Biology Biomedical Engineering Biosciences Cardiovascular Chemistry Discussion Drug Discovery Free Graduate Students Human Genetics In Person Learning Health Systems Lecture Life Science Medicine Precision Health Research Science Talk Virtual","DCMB Seminar Series" 134307-21874152,"2025-04-02 16:00:00","2025-04-02 17:00:00","Global Wolverines: Survival Language & Culture",,"Workshop / Seminar","Traveling abroad this summer?

In general dimension this provides the first asymptotically growing improvement for sphere packing lower bounds since Rogers' bound of c*d/2^d in 1947. The proof amounts to a random (very dense) discretization together with a new theorem on constructing independent sets on graphs with not-too-large co-degree.

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.

By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. ""Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity"" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film, sculpture, watercolors, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women, Gluklya explores issues of poverty, isolation, and exploitation among the garment workers. Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the ""Likbez"" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions, like ""Ala Kachuu"" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.

Additionally, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.

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.

You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.Important information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101, 201, 401, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester, and Arabic 102, 202, 402, 504, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102, combined) may be offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.* Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202, combined) is offered in the Spring/Summer sessions.If you have questions regarding the placement test, please contact the program director at, [email protected].

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)" 84304-21622417,"2025-04-03 10:00:00","2025-04-03 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.

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).

Using examples from Japan, this talk examines how and why menstrual management practices are technologized, as well as the potential impacts of this for everyday consumers. Maura Stephens-Chu received her PhD and MA in anthropology from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. She specializes in medical and cultural anthropology, with an emphasis on embodied experiences of menstruation in contemporary Japan. Maura’s multidisciplinary and intersectional research includes theoretical and methodological approaches from anthropology, Japanese studies, gender studies, history, and science and technology studies. She has conducted extensive ethnographic research in Tokyo, Japan, on young women’s perceptions, education, and personal experiences of menstruation and commercial menstrual products. Her historical analysis of Japanese menstrual taboos, “From Sacred to Secret: Tracing Changes in Views of Menstruation in Japan,” can be found in the open-access journal *Silva Iaponicarum.* Currently, Maura is researching the formation of layperson and medical understandings of conditions that fall under the umbrella of menstrual “irregularity,” including endometriosis, amenorrhea, and severe dysmenorrhea.

Discover three simple techniques—relaxation, rejuvenation, and meditation—in just three master classes. Relaxation brings your body into a calm, steady state, fostering physical stillness and preparing the mind for meditation. Rejuvenation clears the mind, helping to release stress and complex emotions, leaving you feeling light and refreshed. Meditation is a mindful journey inward, connecting with your inner self by tuning into your heart's voice. It’s like a mental workout, training the mind to focus on a single thought amid the 50,000 that pass through daily. This practice cultivates effortless concentration, heightened awareness, and presence in the moment, allowing a shift from thinking to feeling. Meditation also leads to a deeper state of relaxation, regulating the stress response and promoting numerous health benefits. The session will be guided by a trainer via Zoom meeting for all 3 days from noon to 1 p.m. All U-M students, faculty, and staff are welcome to join at no cost. No prior experience with meditation is required.

He holds a Ph.D. in Operations Research and Financial Engineering from Princeton. His recent research focuses on constructing tractable solution methods for large-scale network revenue management problems and building approximation strategies for retail assortment planning. Abstract: When modeling the demand in revenue management systems, a natural approach is to focus on a canonical interval of time, such as a week, so that we forecast the demand over each week in the selling horizon. Ideally, we would like to use random variables with general distributions to model the demand over each week. The current demand can give a signal for the future demand, so we also would like to capture the dependence between the demands over different weeks. Prevalent demand models in the literature, which are based on a discrete-time approximation to a Poisson process, are not compatible with these needs. In this talk, we focus on revenue management models that are compatible with a natural approach for forecasting the demand. Building such models through dynamic programming is not difficult. We divide the selling horizon into multiple stages, each stage being a canonical interval of time on the calendar. We have random number of customer arrivals in each stage, whose distribution is arbitrary and depends on the number of arrivals in the previous stage. The question we seek to answer is the form of the corresponding fluid approximation. We give the correct fluid approximation in the sense that it yields asymptotically optimal policies. The form of our fluid approximation is surprising as its constraints use expected capacity consumption of a resource up to a certain time period, conditional on the demand in the stage just before the time period in question.",https://events.umich.edu/event/133624,"Industrial and Operations Engineering Building",G690,"Industrial and Operations Engineering Building",,"899 Seminar Series Industrial And Operations Engineering Michigan Engineering seminar","Industrial & Operations Engineering" 133766-21873537,"2025-04-03 15:00:00","2025-04-03 16:30:00","Mentoring Through Multi-Generational Lenses",,"Workshop / Seminar","Mentoring Lenses session with the Neuroscience Graduate Program and co-sponsored by Molecular and Cellular Pathology at the University of Michigan.

IPF is characterized by progressive, intractable fibrotic remodeling of the distal lungs mediated by key pathogenic cell types, especially activated fibroblasts (i.e., myofibroblasts), distal lung epithelial cells, and recruited myeloid cells. In IPF, these key cell types cooperate in a self-perpetuating, dysregulated, and pathogenic wound healing response that emerges from a “perfect storm” of suceptibility factors including chronic lung injury (e.g. smoking); certain genetic and epigenetic modifications; and cellular senescence due to natural aging. Only two therapies are FDA-approved for IPF, and while they have slowed progression in some patients, they do not halt or reverse disease and can have severe side effects. Therefore, therapies are urgently needed that not only disrupt the disease process to halt progression, but actually promote reversal of fibrotic remodeling to restore homeostatic lung structure and function. Fibrosis reversal occurs spontaneously in the lung under certain conditions, allowing a comparison to the failure of resolution in IPF. Fibrosis resolution is a complex process that requires specific activation states, functional behaviors, and communication circuits between multiple cell types that culminate in fibrinolysis and restoration of normal tissue. In particular, monocytes and their derivatives (macrophages, dendritic cells) are central to successful resolution. They coordinate myofibroblast and epithelial phenotypes via prolific secretion of myriad cytokines, enzymes, lipids, and other signaling molecules; secrete collagen degrading enzymes (i.e., matrix metalloproteases) to clear the injury-induced extracellular matrix (ECM); promote apoptosis of myofibroblasts; remove and process debris (dead cells, degraded proteins/ECM); and regulate the adaptive response to avoid autoimmunity. Critically, monocytes in the IPF lung do not facilitate resolution, and instead acquire a profibrotic monocyte-derived macrophage (Mo-AM) phenotype that drives disease through pathologic communication with structural cells. Here, we show that degradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles (NPs) promote fibrosis resolution by priming circulating monocytes to become pro-resolving, rather than profibrotic, upon arrival in the lung. NPs reduce and possibly reverse lung collagen deposition in the single-dose bleomycin mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis. NPs also dramatically increase the presence of Ly6C lo non-classical monocytes (NCMOs) in the lung and spleen. NCMOs are known as anti-inflammatory promoters of tissue repair and vascular maintenance, but their functions in IPF are poorly studied. However, bulk RNA-sequencing of NP- vs Vehicle-treated lungs identified upregulation of genes associated with fibrosis resolution that are enhanced in nonclassical monocytes (e.g., the key collagenase Mmp13). Overall, our data suggests that NPs are capable of reprogramming monocytes’ functional behaviors in the fibrotic lung to promote fibrinolysis and brestoration of function.",https://events.umich.edu/event/134121,"Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL)",1130,"Lurie Biomedical Engineering (formerly ATL)",,"Basic Science Bicentennial Biointerfaces Biology biomedical biomedical engineering Bioninterfaces Biosciences Biotechnology bme engineer engineering Medicine Michigan Engineering seminar","Biomedical Engineering" 134272-21874077,"2025-04-03 15:30:00","2025-04-03 17:00:00","Public Institutions at the Intersection of Civil Liberties and Civil Rights",,"Workshop / Seminar"," In this discussion, which formerly focused on First Amendment Title Six, Associate General Counselor Jack Bernard will talk about how the First Amendment affects public institutions and how they navigate obligations to address discrimination while limited by free speech protections.

Previous weather studies have been limited to broadband photometry or low resolution (R ∼100) spectroscopy. In the era of JWST, precise time-resolved medium-resolution spectroscopy of the coldest brown dwarfs is finally possible, allowing the effects of chemistry, temperature, and condensates to be disentangled. WISE 0855 (280K) is the coldest known brown dwarf and the best analog for studying processes that also occur on gas giant planets within our Solar System. We present high SNR (80 – 100), medium resolution (R ∼1000), time-series JWST/NIRSpec spectra of WISE 0855. Our observations span 11 hours with 15-minute pointings covering 2.87–5.27 microns. The dominant time-variable feature is carbon monoxide, with smaller amplitude changes from carbon dioxide and phosphine. Wavelengths impacted by methane, water vapor, and ammonia show relatively less variability. Outside of major molecular features, there are variations that may be interpreted as changes in deeper atmospheric heat. Using atmospheric and structural models, we investigate the potential impact of water clouds and convection on our observations. Lastly, I will discuss how these observations tie into the overall picture of this cold world and necessary steps for interpreting other time-series data sets.",https://events.umich.edu/event/134490,"West Hall",411,"West Hall",,"astronomy astrophysics","Department of Astronomy Department of Physics" 134074-21873835,"2025-04-03 16:00:00","2025-04-03 17:30:00","21st Annual Michigan Geophysical Union Symposium",,"Conference / Symposium","The annual MGU Symposium is held in the spring.

The first approach utilizes snapshots of chromophore-environment configurations for which chromophore normal modes are determined. The second approach obtains excitation energies for a series of time-correlated snapshots. Both approaches make strides towards more accurate optical spectroscopy simulations. I will show how the approaches can also be made computationally feasible through machine learning of ground and excited state potentials, opening the door to new physical insights of complex condensed phase systems.

Russian occupation of the plant, which would last thirty-five days, had begun. Only the dedication and resolve of Ukrainian personnel, who were held hostage and worked shifts for weeks instead of days, spared the world a new Chernobyl accident. Meanwhile, a much more dangerous situation developed at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, the largest such facility in Europe. Following an attack there in March 2022, the Russian military remains in control. In this lecture Serhii Plokhii discusses the challenges that the Russian takeover of the nuclear sites presents to the world. We must face up to a new reality: there has already been warfare at two nuclear sites, and others are vulnerable. The lecture is based on Plokhii’s most recent book, ""Chernobyl Roulette"" (2024). Serhii Plokhii (Plokhy) is the Mykhailo Hrushevsky Professor of Ukrainian History and the director of the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University. A leading authority on Ukraine, Russia, and Eastern Europe, he has published extensively on the international history of World War II and the Cold War.

Our resources to address these problems are limited. It’s easy to think, then, that we should devote ourselves to our most promising solutions. It’s easy, but it’s wrong. The great paradox of scientific research is that pure exploration – research into deep questions motivated by pure curiosity, without concern for applications – is ultimately what transforms our lives in tangible, practical ways. In this talk, I will speak not just as a physicist interested in puzzles of quantum entanglement and five-dimensional black holes, but also as someone who has spent the past 25 years helping to establish and grow an institute dedicated to fundamental research. I will make the case for blue-sky research and share my optimism about our collective future. Bio Robert Myers (PhD, Princeton University, 1986) is the BMO Financial Group Isaac Newton Chair at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. He joined Perimeter as a founding faculty in 2001, was the Interim Director from 2007 to 2008, served as Faculty Chair from 2011 to 2018, and as the Director in 2019 to 2024. Prior to coming to Perimeter, he was a Professor of Physics at McGill University. Myers has broad interests in theoretical physics, with contributions ranging from quantum field theory to black holes and cosmology. Several of his discoveries, such as the “Myers effect” and “linear dilaton cosmology” have been influential in seeding new lines of research. His current research focuses on the interplay of quantum entanglement and spacetime geometry, and on applying new perspectives and tools from quantum information science to the study of quantum gravity. Among his many honours, Myers has been awarded the Herzberg Medal by the Canadian Association of Physicists (1999), the CAP-CRM Prize in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics by the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) and the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques (2005), the Vogt Medal by the CAP and TRIUMF (2012), the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Waterloo (2018), and the CAP Medal for Lifetime Achievements in Physics (2024).

In this talk, she turns to art that lingers in the wound not in order to address/heal the injury but to graze against it, even to risk re-opening it in the interembodied space of the theatre. Such art is not after healing or repair: it risks, rather, an exposure to traumatic intensities that cannot be captured through anamnesis, intensities that have a fugitive relationship to being grasped or understood, and which, importantly, exert a sadistic force on the artist and the audience. That such sadism is also tender is not a contradiction, but the very condition of a kind of sadism we might think of as aesthetic. Drawing on the first part of the Cadela Força trilogy by Carolina Bianchi and the art collective Cara de Cavalo, Saketopoulou explores how wound and aesthetics meet through an ethical form of sadistic practice conjugated not through clarity, understanding, or catharsis but through the courting of confusion. Avgi Saketopoulou is a psychoanalyst who lives and works in New York City. She completed her analytic training at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, where she also teaches.

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.

Under the baton of music director Nicholas Bromilow, and assistant conductor, Michael Roest, the LSO will present works by Johannes Brahms, Jessie Montgomery, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in a free performance. Bromilow, a doctoral student in orchestral conducting at the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance, will give a pre-concert lecture at 6:45pm to discuss the works on the program. The program begins with Brahms’ rousing Academic Festival Overture, which he wrote in response to receiving an honorary degree from a German university, and which quotes four different drinking songs popular with students. It will be followed by Montgomery’s solemn, songlike and cathartic piece, Hymn for Everyone, written in 2021 in response to recent events. The evening’s showpiece is Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, a musical depiction of the crafty female storyteller of 1,001 Nights, also known as the Arabian Nights. Concertmaster and U-M ophthalmologist Jennifer Weizer, M.D., will be featured on the solo violin passages of the suite, which also calls on the talents of many other instrumental soloists. The concert is open to all with no tickets required.

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.

While archival theory often conceptualizes archives as repositories of collective memory, history, or knowledge, this workshop explores both institutional and non-traditional archives, questioning how they are formed, preserved, and accessed. Through an interdisciplinary lens, participants will examine the role of archives in shaping Armenian history, cultural identity, and scholarship, as well as the limitations and biases inherent in archival practices. By addressing the challenges of archival silences, displacement, and the role of digital tools in preservation, this workshop aims to foster new approaches to archival research. The panels will cover a wide range of topics, including new methods in access and digitization, materiality and contact within the archive, the role of state and counter-archives, and local communities’ preservation practices. Participants will engage with case studies on liturgical hymn organization, handwritten text recognition, and digital community archiving, among other innovative research projects. Additionally, a special conversation with personal archivist Anahit Toumajan will offer insights into alternative archival practices outside institutional settings. A guided tour of the University of Michigan’s Armenian special collections will provide hands-on engagement with rare books and manuscripts, further enriching the discussion on archival methodologies and resources. The workshop will culminate in a keynote lecture by Dr. Elyse Semerdjian, whose research on ""embodied archives"" offers a feminist critique of archival practice in Armenian Studies. Her work examines how physical and material remnants, such as scars and tattooed texts, function as historical records, challenging conventional notions of archival preservation. By bringing together scholars, archivists, and practitioners, this workshop seeks to advance critical conversations about the past, present, and future of archives in Armenian Studies, fostering a more nuanced understanding of how history is documented, remembered, and reinterpreted. ========================= DAY 1 — Friday: April 4, 2025 ========================= 9:00-9:30 AM — Introductory Remarks: Emma Avagyan (Middle East Studies), Nazelie Doghramadjian (Information), Allison Grenda (History of Art), Gottfried Hagen (Middle East Studies) 9:30-11:00 AM — Panel 1: New Methods in Access, Preservation, and Digitization of Armenian Heritage Discussant: Bogdan Pavlish, University of Michigan ● Vardan Sargsyan, University of Michigan. “Unlocking the Sharaknots’: A New Approach to Organizing Armenian Liturgical Hymns” ● Chahan Vidal-Gòrene, Calfa, École Nationale des Chartes-PSL. “A Case Study on the Application of Handwritten Text Recognition to Mekhitarist Archives” 11:00-11:15 AM — Break 11:15 AM-12:45 PM — Panel 2: Beyond Text: Materiality and Contact within the Archive Discussant: Christiane Gruber, University of Michigan ● Anahit Gasparyan, Tufts University. “Reimagining Access to Armenian Sources: The Value of Facsimiles in Art Historical Research” ● Tsovinar Kuiumchian, University of Oxford. “‘My house is full of ghosts’: Textile Archive as a Transgenerational Contact Zone” 12:45-2:00 PM — Lunch for Workshop Participants 2:00-3:00 PM — Panel 3: Conversation with Mrs. Anahit Toumajan, Armenian Language Teacher & Personal Archivist Moderators: Nazelie Doghramadjian, University of Michigan; Michael Pifer, University of Michigan ● Anahit Toumajan, who is an Armenian language teacher and personal archivist in the Armenian community here in Michigan, will discuss her work preserving and arranging Mihran Toumajan’s archive. Mihran, born in 1890, was one of the five pupils of Gomidas and went on to become a famous composer and musician himself. Throughout his life, he kept detailed correspondence with his family, friends, and fellow pupils. Through his letters and journals, we learn more about his childhood, his family’s purchase of his first piano, his lessons with Gomidas, and well as his capture and exile during the Armenian Genocide. In conversation with PhD student Nazelie Doghramadjian and Marie Manoogian Professor of Armenian Language and Literature Michael Pifer, Anahit Toumajan will discuss her work on this invaluable archive in her home, and how her work may be different from institutional archiving. She will also discuss some special materials within the archive that are full of emotion, personality, and history. 3:00-3:30 PM — Break 3:30 PM - 4:45 PM — Library and Special Collections Tour Led by U-M Librarians Brendan Nieubuurt, Armine Kirakosyan, and Beth Snyder [for workshop participants only] ● The University of Michigan's Hatcher Graduate Library and Special Collections Research Center is a gem on our campus and for the Center for Armenian Studies.

Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity, an installation by Gluklya","Gluklya, artist",Exhibition,"Gluklya’s work is a powerful example of socially engaged art at the intersections of gender, class, and cultural identity. By focusing on experiences of female textile workers in Kyrgyzstan, the artist explores the often-overlooked stories of women affected by Soviet and post-Soviet colonialism. ""Threading the Needle: Vestiges of Colonialism and Femininity"" retells their stories using a diverse range of media — film, sculpture, watercolors, and felt tapestries. Unfolding the implications of economic and societal pressures on women, Gluklya explores issues of poverty, isolation, and exploitation among the garment workers. Personal stories are woven into a broader social context — such as the legacy of the ""Likbez"" (liquidation of illiteracy) campaign among women in Central Asia during Soviet rule and entrenched patriarchal traditions, like ""Ala Kachuu"" (bride-kidnapping). This dynamic — where colonization and modernization intertwine the individual lives they touch — raises questions about cultural identity and the ethical borders of decolonized research.

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.

Non- and semiparametric finite density mixture models are a relatively new field of research within a wider area of finite density mixture models that has a lot to offer in terms of theory, methodology, and applications. In this presentation, we discuss a general approach to designing algorithms for estimation of components of these models based on the nonparametric smoothed penalized maximum likelihood. This approach results in converging algorithms for many different semi- and nonparametric finite density mixture models, including the multivariate ones. In doing so, this approach unifies conceptually many seemingly disparate mixture models. We also illustrate the usefulness of the proposed approach by showing the large-sample consistency of the implicit estimator that results from applying this method. Several simulations and real-life applications round out our presentation. https://www.stat.purdue.edu/people/faculty/mlevins.html",https://events.umich.edu/event/132386,"West Hall",340,"West Hall",,seminar,"Department of Statistics Department of Statistics Seminar Series" 84303-21621561,"2025-04-04 10:00:00","2025-04-04 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’.... 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)" 133776-21873548,"2025-04-04 10:00:00","2025-04-04 11:20:00","Vertical Integration and Consumer Choice: Evidence from a Field Experiment","Alexander MacKay, University of Virginia","Workshop / Seminar","Platforms, retailers, and other firms often offer their own products alongside products sold by competitors, but this form of vertical integration has become a target of regulation in digital markets. We study the effects of this practice through a field experiment that hides brands owned by Amazon (i.e., private labels) from shoppers on Amazon.com. We first consider the effects of this removal on three aspects of consumer behavior: substitution to other products, changes in search effort, and substitution to other retail websites. In the absence of Amazon brands, our results indicate that consumers substitute toward products that are similar along most observable dimensions. We find no evidence that treated consumers change their search effort, nor that they shift their shopping behavior to other retail websites. To evaluate a fourth mechanism—how the presence of Amazon brands affects equilibrium prices—we estimate a structural model of demand and simulate counterfactual prices when removing such products. Our estimates imply that, for the categories we study, removing Amazon brands would reduce consumer surplus by 3.8 percent in the short run, and roughly one quarter of the impact is due to equilibrium price increases by other products. The effects are heterogeneous, with consumer surplus reductions exceeding 10 percent in some categories, while other categories realize no change or even positive increases in consumer surplus when Amazon brands are removed.",https://events.umich.edu/event/133776,"Lorch Hall",301,"Lorch Hall",,"Economics Industrial Organization seminar","Department of Economics Applied Microeconomics/Industrial Organization Department of Economics Seminars" 84304-21622418,"2025-04-04 10:00:00","2025-04-04 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. Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, and the African Studies Center.  ",https://events.umich.edu/event/84304,"Museum of Art","A.

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).

In this talk, she turns to art that lingers in the wound not in order to address/heal the injury but to graze against it, even to risk re-opening it in the interembodied space of the theatre. Such art is not after healing or repair: it risks, rather, an exposure to traumatic intensities that cannot be captured through anamnesis, intensities that have a fugitive relationship to being grasped or understood, and which, importantly, exert a sadistic force on the artist and the audience. That such sadism is also tender is not a contradiction, but the very condition of a kind of sadism we might think of as aesthetic. Drawing on the first part of the Cadela Força trilogy by Carolina Bianchi and the art collective Cara de Cavalo, Saketopoulou explores how wound and aesthetics meet through an ethical form of sadistic practice conjugated not through clarity, understanding, or catharsis but through the courting of confusion. Avgi Saketopoulou is a psychoanalyst who lives and works in New York City. She completed her analytic training at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, where she also teaches. Her published work addresses issues around trauma, gender, and sexuality. She is the author of Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia (NYU Press, 2023) and co-author with Ann Pellegrini of Gender Without Identity (Unconscious in Translation 2023).

Uncovering the mechanisms by which a large number of microbial species can coexist on limited resources remains an important open problem. Here I will discuss this problem in unique context: bacteria that inhabit tumors. Bacterial colonization of solid tumors is widespread, but how the tumor environment affects bacterial growth (and vice versa) is poorly understood. Our experimental collaborators infect mouse tumors with DNA-barcoded bacteria, creating competition among thousands of clonal bacterial ""species"". We find that after an initial expansion period, clone sizes exhibit universal power-law statistics. These statistics are robust across experiments and collection times, and unique to bacteria grown in the tumor environment rather than in liquid culture. Combining population ecology with nonequilibrium statistical physics, we develop a mechanistic theory of intra-tumor bacterial growth that includes an infection bottleneck, local growth constraints, global resource competition, and environmental noise. Our simple physical theory captures the dynamics and the statistics of the experiments, explains the uniqueness of the observations to the tumor environment, and represents an important step in quantitatively characterizing the tumor microbiome.",https://events.umich.edu/event/125336,"Chemistry Dow Lab",1640,"Chemistry Dow Lab",,Biophysics,"LSA Biophysics" 122927-21874377,"2025-04-04 12:00:00","2025-04-04 13:00:00","South Quad / Fletcher (2024-2025) (Housing)","Multiple conference events and sessions","Conference / Symposium",,https://events.umich.edu/event/122927,,,"Kelsey Lounge in South Quad",,Sessions,"Sessions @ Michigan" 132400-21870884,"2025-04-04 12:00:00","2025-04-04 12:30:00","Vinson Lam, carillon",,Performance,"Vinson Lam performs on the Charles Baird Carillon, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower.

However, it is unclear whether this inference is accurate given that prior research has largely overlooked the role of ethnicity. Analyzing data from the US and Western Europe (N = 34,443), we found that ethnic minorities (and right-wing individuals) prefer strong leaders to a greater extent than Whites (and left-wing individuals). Notably, ethnic minorities across diverse ethnic and political backgrounds are closer to right-wing Whites on strong leader preference than to left-wing Whites. Our work also provides some evidence, using both measurement-of-mediation (Studies 1-4) and experimental mediation (pre-registered Studies 5-6), that generalized trust helps explain group differences in strong leader preference. Importantly, our findings suggest that left-wing Whites’ leadership preferences should not be considered the “default” as they do not generalize even to left-wing people belonging to other ethnic backgrounds.",https://events.umich.edu/event/132663,"Ross School of Business",R0220,"Ross School of Business",,"Business Collective Behavior Discussion Diversity Diversity Equity and Inclusion Free In Person Inclusion Interdisciplinary Leadership Multicultural Organizational Studies Politics Presentation Psychology seminar Social Sciences Sociology Speaker Talk","Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS Department of Sociology Organizational Studies Program (OS)" 122946-21874383,"2025-04-04 14:00:00","2025-04-04 16:00:00","Alice Lloyd (2024-2025) (Housing)","Multiple conference events and sessions","Conference / Symposium",,https://events.umich.edu/event/122946,,,"Meet outside the Living Room at 1:50pm - we'll walk to the UMMA together!",,Sessions,"Sessions @ Michigan" 133980-21873757,"2025-04-04 14:00:00","2025-04-04 16:00:00","ECRC Portrait Session",,"Careers / Jobs","LAST CHANCE!

Today, the hospital seems nearly invisible, even though it bookends the beginning and end of most people’s lives. But initially this institution was met with opposition from a host of critics and commentators. This talk focuses on Vienna in the twentieth century as the privileged site for this exemplary tale about the hospital’s rise, the suspicions it generated, and the experiences it occasioned. The Architecture of Illness investigates various hospital building styles, as these come to influence people’s experiences of health care. Using examples from literary works by Arthur Schnitzler and Rainer Maria Rilke as well as architectural treatises, this talk charts the waiting games, the diffuse spaces, and the contagious rumors that plague hospitals from the moment of their establishment. Fatima Naqvi is Leavenworth Professor of German and Film at Yale University. She is currently the chair of the Film & Media Studies Program as well as of the European Studies Council. Her scholarship has focused on the intersection of architecture and Bildung in the literature of Thomas Bernhard; landscape and its function in post-war West German culture; the rhetoric of victimhood in Western European Culture from the late 1960s to the present; and the films of director Michael Haneke. Drawn to the curmudgeons, querulous types, and naysayers of literature and film, she has recently written on Elfriede Jelinek, Ruth Beckermann, Friederike Mayröcker, and Peter Handke.",https://events.umich.edu/event/133346,"Michigan League","Michigan Room","Michigan League",,"German German Studies Germanic Languages And Literatures","Germanic Languages & Literatures" 132166-21870525,"2025-04-04 14:30:00","2025-04-04 15:50:00","Non-Discriminatory Personalized Pricing (joint with Philipp Strack)","Kai Hao Yang, Yale University","Workshop / Seminar","A unit mass of consumers with unit demands purchase a product from a monopolist. Consumers have a binary protected characteristic, which is associated with value distributions ranked in the likelihood ratio order, conditional on the cost of serving them. We characterize the revenue-maximizing market segmentation and pricing strategy subject to a non-discriminatory constraint, where consumers with the same cost but different protected characteristics must face the same price distributions. This problem is equivalent to an optimal transport with a non-supermodular objective function. When consumers' value distributions given protected characteristics are different enough, consumers could retain positive surplus under the profit-maximizing pricing rule, although which protected characteristic benefits more is generally ambiguous. Moreover, these surplus are enjoyed by consumers with intermediate values, whereas high-value and low-value consumers do not retain any surplus.",https://events.umich.edu/event/132166,"Lorch Hall",301,"Lorch Hall",,"Economics Microeconomics seminar Theory","Department of Economics Economic Theory Department of Economics Seminars" 133850-21873620,"2025-04-04 14:30:00","2025-04-04 15:30:00","Research Seminar","Lara Boyd",Presentation,"Lara A.

In this work, we demonstrate that we can reap the benefits of overparameterization without the computational burden. First, we develop theory showing that when training the parameters of a deep linear network to fit a low-rank or wide matrix, the gradient dynamics of each weight matrix are confined to an invariant low-dimensional subspace. This is done by carefully studying the gradient update step, which is the product of several matrix variables, and noticing the way low-rank structure passes from the low-rank target through the variables sequentially. Given this invariant subspace, we can construct and train compact, highly compressed factorizations possessing the same benefits as their overparameterized counterparts. For language model fine-tuning, we introduce a method called ""Deep LoRA"", which improves the existing low-rank adaptation (LoRA) technique. While this technique does not arise directly from our theory, it involves only a minor modification that is surprisingly effective and of great interest for future theoretical study.

We introduce a family of posets called categorical n-associahedra, which naturally extend Bottman's 2-associahedra and the classical associahedra. Categorical n-associahedra give a combinatorial model for the poset of strata of a compactified real moduli space of a tree arrangement of affine coordinate subspaces. We construct a family of complete polyhedral fans, called velocity fans, whose coordinates encode the relative velocities of pairs of colliding coordinate subspaces, and whose face posets are the categorical n-associahedra. In particular, this gives the first fan realization of 2-associahedra. In the case of the classical associahedron, the velocity fan specializes to the normal fan of Loday's realization of the associahedron.

The main objective of SPRINT has been to develop a new approach to intonation based primarily on the investigation of intonation variability and pragmatics. SPRINT started from the position that intonation is not a “half-tamed savage”, as the frequently used (and highly questionable) metaphor of Bolinger’s has it, but part of a language’s phonological component whose phonetic features are as tame as any other aspect of speech production, provided a) we treat them as such and b) we employ suitable methodologies to study them. Starting from this position, in the talk, I cover three topics: a) the main sources of variability in intonation and the methodologies employed in SPRINT to address them, so we can distinguish systematic, linguistically determined variation, from gradience, and noise; b) the role that meaning can play in this process; c) the lessons we learned from researching these topics and the ways they have shaped the main SPRINT objective, determining what we retain from AM, the most widely adopted model of intonation, and what we need to revise. Overall, the findings support SPRINT’s starting point and provide encouraging results on which to build this new foundation.",https://events.umich.edu/event/130333,"East Hall",4448,"East Hall",,"Free Talk","Department of Linguistics" 131763-21869213,"2025-04-04 16:00:00","2025-04-04 17:00:00","Preprint Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Archimedean zeta functions, singularities, and Hodge theory, after Davia, Lorincz, and Yang","Shend Zhjeqi (UM)","Workshop / Seminar",https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.07849,https://events.umich.edu/event/131763,"East Hall",4096,"East Hall",,Mathematics,"Preprint Algebraic Geometry Seminar - Department of Mathematics Department of Mathematics" 134038-21873803,"2025-04-04 16:00:00","2025-04-04 17:00:00","Study Abroad in Sorrento, Italy - Winter 2026",,"Workshop / Seminar","Join CGIS Advisor, Joy Richardson, and Sant'Anna Institute staff to learn more about the CGIS: Humanities and Social Sciences in Sorrento (Italy) program, the application process, the academics, and life in Sorrento.Please note that this session will be in-person.

What she accidentally found was too urgent to ignore. Her neighbors, many of whom had owned their homes for decades, were losing them to property tax foreclosure, leaving once bustling Black neighborhoods blighted with vacant homes. Through years of dogged investigation and research, Atuahene uncovered a system of predatory governance, where public officials raise public dollars through laws and processes that produce or sustain racial inequity — a nationwide practice in no way limited to Detroit. In this powerful work of scholarship and storytelling, Atuahene shows how predatory governance invites complicity from well-meaning people, eviscerates communities, and widens the racial wealth gap. By following the lives of two Detroit grandfathers, one Black and the other white, and their grandchildren, Atuahene tells a riveting tale about racist policies, how they take root, why they flourish, and who profits. Plundered's release date is Jan. 28, 2025. Local book talks include: ANN ARBOR on Friday, April 4 6:30-8 p.m. at Literati Bookstore, 124 E.

In addition to uniting music with spoken poetry, ritual, and environmental field recordings, composer Christopher Theofanidis and librettist Melissa Studdard employ optional simple choreographed balletic movement and video projection onto a variety of textured surfaces to create a mesmerizing, magical-realist, gender-bending exploration of the depth of the human condition.",https://events.umich.edu/event/122685,"Walgreen Drama Center","Stamps Auditorium","Walgreen Drama Center","Free - no tickets required","Concert Free Music North Campus","School of Music, Theatre & Dance" 133739-21873498,"2025-04-04 20:00:00",,"H.M.S.

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.

Viewers are invited to navigate the cross-generational, human experiences of imprisonment often obscured behind prison walls and within individuals.

While archival theory often conceptualizes archives as repositories of collective memory, history, or knowledge, this workshop explores both institutional and non-traditional archives, questioning how they are formed, preserved, and accessed. Through an interdisciplinary lens, participants will examine the role of archives in shaping Armenian history, cultural identity, and scholarship, as well as the limitations and biases inherent in archival practices. By addressing the challenges of archival silences, displacement, and the role of digital tools in preservation, this workshop aims to foster new approaches to archival research. The panels will cover a wide range of topics, including new methods in access and digitization, materiality and contact within the archive, the role of state and counter-archives, and local communities’ preservation practices. Participants will engage with case studies on liturgical hymn organization, handwritten text recognition, and digital community archiving, among other innovative research projects. Additionally, a special conversation with personal archivist Anahit Toumajan will offer insights into alternative archival practices outside institutional settings. A guided tour of the University of Michigan’s Armenian special collections will provide hands-on engagement with rare books and manuscripts, further enriching the discussion on archival methodologies and resources. The workshop will culminate in a keynote lecture by Dr. Elyse Semerdjian, whose research on ""embodied archives"" offers a feminist critique of archival practice in Armenian Studies. Her work examines how physical and material remnants, such as scars and tattooed texts, function as historical records, challenging conventional notions of archival preservation. By bringing together scholars, archivists, and practitioners, this workshop seeks to advance critical conversations about the past, present, and future of archives in Armenian Studies, fostering a more nuanced understanding of how history is documented, remembered, and reinterpreted. ========================= DAY 1 — Friday: April 4, 2025 ========================= 9:00-9:30 AM — Introductory Remarks: Emma Avagyan (Middle East Studies), Nazelie Doghramadjian (Information), Allison Grenda (History of Art), Gottfried Hagen (Middle East Studies) 9:30-11:00 AM — Panel 1: New Methods in Access, Preservation, and Digitization of Armenian Heritage Discussant: Bogdan Pavlish, University of Michigan ● Vardan Sargsyan, University of Michigan. “Unlocking the Sharaknots’: A New Approach to Organizing Armenian Liturgical Hymns” ● Chahan Vidal-Gòrene, Calfa, École Nationale des Chartes-PSL. “A Case Study on the Application of Handwritten Text Recognition to Mekhitarist Archives” 11:00-11:15 AM — Break 11:15 AM-12:45 PM — Panel 2: Beyond Text: Materiality and Contact within the Archive Discussant: Christiane Gruber, University of Michigan ● Anahit Gasparyan, Tufts University. “Reimagining Access to Armenian Sources: The Value of Facsimiles in Art Historical Research” ● Tsovinar Kuiumchian, University of Oxford. “‘My house is full of ghosts’: Textile Archive as a Transgenerational Contact Zone” 12:45-2:00 PM — Lunch for Workshop Participants 2:00-3:00 PM — Panel 3: Conversation with Mrs. Anahit Toumajan, Armenian Language Teacher & Personal Archivist Moderators: Nazelie Doghramadjian, University of Michigan; Michael Pifer, University of Michigan ● Anahit Toumajan, who is an Armenian language teacher and personal archivist in the Armenian community here in Michigan, will discuss her work preserving and arranging Mihran Toumajan’s archive.

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)" 84304-21622419,"2025-04-05 11:00:00","2025-04-05 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.

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).

Revered as a cultural icon in the Arab World and beyond, Marcel Khalife is deeply attached to the text of great contemporary Arab poets and is an innovator in Arab music who draws upon traditional forms and blends Western elements to create an evocative sound that has captivated audiences around the world. His extensive body of work transcends his lyrical works to encompass groundbreaking compositions, orchestral and choral works, music for dance, and concertos for a variety of traditional Arabic instruments. The cross-generational Khalife trio will perform a selection of Marcel’s revered classics that endeared him to millions in the Arab World, with new arrangements alongside original compositions. Sary Khalife masterfully incorporates the Arabic quarter tone on his cello, seamlessly weaving Arabic and Western sounds, while Rami’s pianistic skills combine his classical training from The Juilliard School with a “Keith-Jarrett-like approach to jazz and improvisation.” (Daily Telegraph, Australia)",https://events.umich.edu/event/121997,"Hill Auditorium",,"Hill Auditorium","Starting at $14 (+ fees).

Professors José Casas (head of the playwriting minor in the Department of Theatre & Drama) and Jake Hooker (head of drama at the Residential College) have led an ensemble of students from SMTD and the Residential College in exploring and experimenting with the tropes and images of multiple renditions from the Land of Oz as originally conceived by L. Frank Baum. The resulting work is fresh, insightful, and reflective of the times we live in. Discount of 10% off ticket price when you purchase 4 or more student tickets.
