SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Ekaterina Mishina\, assistant professor of law\, Vyshaya shkola ekonomiki\; visiting professor of law\, U-M.\n\nThe legal profession is very much sought after in modern Russia. In Soviet times there was a small number of universities and law institutes where one could get a legal education\, today this is no longer a problem. There are law schools everywhere\, but though their number has multiplied\, the level of education has considerably decreased\, and a legal profession brings with it a number of challenges. The tremendous changes of the last two decades and the Russian transition to a market economy have presented lawyers with new requirements and new problems. When it’s impossible to do legal business in Russia\, when the courts have become political tools\, when the accusatory bias is still one of the hottest issues on the agenda\, what should the mission of a lawyer should be? Being a lawyer in today’s Russia involves many risks. More than a hundred lawyers have fled from the country\, some have been incarcerated\, while others have been mutilated or even killed. In her lecture\, Ekaterina Mishina will analyze the reasons for the crisis of the legal profession in Russia.\n\nEkaterina Mishina holds a doctorate in law from the Law School of Moscow State University. She worked for the Constitutional Court of Russia\, then headed the Legal Department of JSC “MOSTELECOM”. In 2002-05 she took part in the projects “Law-making” and “Club of Regional Journalism\,” both of which were sponsored by the Open Russia Foundation. In 2007-10\, Mishina worked on two large-scale projects for the INDEM Foundation. She participated in several World Bank\, Ford Foundation\, European Union\, and USAID projects as general manager and legal expert. She was a visiting scholar in NYU (1990-91)\, had internships in the U.S. Congress and DC office of Gardner\, Curton & Douglas (1993)\, and in 2006 took part in the U.S. Department of State Program “U.S.-Russia Experts Forum.” Since 2005 she has held an appointment as assistant professor of law at the National Research University – Higher School of Economics in Moscow\, where she teaches comparative constitutional law. Currently she is a research scholar at the University of Michigan. \n\nPart of the series Pluralism in Politics and Culture\, a new initiative jointly sponsored by CREES and WCED that examines the foundations of free and open societies. The project builds on the university’s rich legacy of study and support of the dissident culture in the former Soviet Union and on several existing efforts at U-M. The series focuses on multiple facets of political pluralism\, including its legal\, cultural\, and economic dimensions\, and explore them in a broader historical context.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:A Predicament Beyond Rights: Becoming a Residual Armenian in Turkish Anatolia.
DESCRIPTION:Hakem al-Rustom\, Manoogian Simone Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellow\, University of Michigan.\n\nOut of approximately two million Ottoman Armenians living in 1914\, only 77\,433 officially remained as Turkish citizens in the formative years of the republic. In this presentation Hakem al-Rustom analyses the predicament of the residual Armenian population in Turkey as a process of denativization. A concept helps to broach gaps in the literature on nationalism\, demographic engineering\, and citizenship rights which focuses on Turkish state policies. As such\, it accounts for other important forces that worked in tandem with Turkish nationalist policies and resulted in emptying Anatolia of Armenians. These include post-World War I international diplomacy\, everyday tension between Armenians and Kurds in southeastern Anatolia\, and Armenian diaspora institutions in France. At a wider level\, this paper considers the experience of a population whose destruction was foundational to the formation of a nation-state. It therefore shifts the debate away from exclusion from citizenship rights to the historical exclusion from the wider state project.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Performance:Pete Siers Organ Trio
DESCRIPTION:Like Clark Kent\, jazz percussionist Pete Siers is soft-spoken and unassuming–but put him behind a drum set and a hard-swinging\, intensely physical\, dynamically sensitive drummer emerges.  Pete has an international reputation for his “restless curiosity\, attention to detail\, and mastery of many different styles\,” according to Mike Stratton\, host of the FM 89.7 radio show\, “The Vinyl Side of Midnight.” Siers has played with jazz luminaries such as Russell Malone\, Mulgrew Miller\, Marian McPartland\, Lee Konitz\, Benny Golson\, James Moody\, Kenny Werner\, David “Fathead” Newman\, Eddie Daniels\, Frank Morgan\, Scott Hamilton\, Bob Wilber\, and Barry Harris. In addition to his expansive performance career\, Siers has played on over fifty recordings\, including Russell Malone’s Black Butterfly on Columbia Records. He recently played Carnegie Hall\, has toured Europe several times\, and is a long-time favorite at many jazz parties and festivals across the U.S. Pete continues to perform orchestral pops shows such as trumpeter Marcus Belgrave’s Louis Armstrong Tribute and Dave Bennett’s Salute to Benny Goodman. In addition to his performance and recording career\, Pete has taught percussion and jazz drumming for over twenty-five years. He teaches privately as well as having taught at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor School for Performing Arts\, Emory University\, Purdue University and Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. He was also an artist-in-residence at Interlochen School of the Arts. For this evening’s performance\, Pete will be joined by Duncan MacMillan\, playing the Hammond B3 organ\, and by Ralph Tope on guitar.\n\nThis monthly series\, curated by UM Associate Professor Adam Unsworth\, presents outstanding local artists in an intimate setting and is made possible by the Doris Sloan Memorial Fund.\n
