SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Finding the Female Voice in the Ancient World
DESCRIPTION:It is hard enough to find women’s voices in the ancient world\, let alone the voices of women poets. Women were often silenced in antiquity\, told to be “seen and not heard”. Ancient authors were nearly always male\, and the canon of ancient literature focused almost exclusively on texts by\, for and about men\, making it hard for women to gain entry to the literary scene and hiding them from view\, turning their voices into stereotypes in male-authored texts\, or even silencing them completely. So how do we go about uncovering the hidden literary voices of the women of classical antiquity? This talk uncovers a wide range of different approaches and tools we can use to find the female voice in the ancient world\, some of them unconventional\, crossing between research and creative practice\, to explore how we might gain new insights into the forgotten literary women of antiquity.\n\nPlease register for this webinar here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_t2h78t0wS0aayzXeuB4nKQ

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IISS Lecture Series. A Spiderweb Story: The Faint but Numerous Strands of an Interconnected Middle Ages in Varqa & Golshah
DESCRIPTION:The Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar is pleased to announce a new public lecture \"A Spiderweb Story: The Faint but Numerous Strands of an Interconnected Middle Ages in Varqa & Golshah\" with Professor Cameron Cross on April 23 at 1:00-2:30 PM.\n   \n   The Abstract:\n   \n   The story of Varqa and Golshah\, the oldest extant romance in the New Persian language\, offers a fascinating glimpse into the interconnected literary histories of the Middle East. At first glance\, the poem is evidently an adaptation of a well-known love-story within the Arabic literature of the Abbasid period\, but the story quickly gets more complicated. By looking at the internal development of the narrative within the Arabic corpus\, we can trace the gradual accretion of \"romance\" motifs to its plot\, bringing it closer within the generic worlds of (parts of) the Thousand and One Nights and Persian love-stories like Bizhan and Manizheh. These same motifs\, however\, point at a deeper layer of thematic interconnectivity\, namely the long accounts of love and adventure written in Greek in the first to fifth centuries CE. The adaptation of Varqa and Golshah into Persian\, then\, suggests not a \"beginning\" but a \"re-beginning\" of romance in the eleventh century\, a continuation of Hellenistic models in dialogue with Arabic and Iranian traditions. In fact\, the most notable innovation in the Persian tale is not the addition of romance but of epic\, with extended battles interposed between the scenes of courtship and separation. These battle scenes\, along with the \"surprise\" ending of a resurrection and mass conversion\, bring the romance squarely into the fold of political and sacred history. In this regard\, the romance finds a close analogue in one of the earliest and most widely translated romances of the Byzantine and Western European cultural blocs\, Floris and Blancheflor. The structural and motival similarities between these two narratives not only point to a common set of literary practices\, due to their shared Hellenistic heritage\, but also to a certain convergence of historical factors in the eleventh and especially the thirteenth century\, an era of intense transregional exchange through trade\, pilgrimage\, and holy war. Like a spiderweb viewed in the right light\, Varqa and Golshah illuminates these many strands\, faint but strong\, that connect the histories of the Middle East and Mediterranean world.\n\nRegister at https://umich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0qd-uprjsuHtxNIsfTOnqZn4pk8xzGgD0h

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Premodern Colloquium. Why Did Public Infrastructure Appear in Song Court Landscape Painting?
DESCRIPTION:This essay examines the public infrastructure depicted in Northern Song (960-1127) court landscape paintings\, which includes roads\, waterways\, bridges\, and river ports. These paintings not only depict the public works but also portray people from all social strata utilizing these public resources. This new development in the landscape genre coincided with the political and social thought of the period\, which held that the state should spend tax revenues collected from the population to improve the wellbeing of the people. \n\nThe reading investigates visual materials ranging from court landscape painting\, administrative maps in local gazetteers\, as well as steles. The legal basis for the emergence of such landscape paintings in the 11th century was the separation of the emperor’s private treasury from the public treasury of the state. That separation was a factor in numerous policy debates from the period and was systematically documented in an early thirteenth-century book.

SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:PROTEST: Justice for Daunté Wright
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan has ignored police brutality and systemic racism for too long! Join the protest to hold them accountable. We will be creating shirts on-site\, please bring a shirt to participate. We will be meeting in the Diag then the march will continue throughout campus.\n\nPurpose\n\nThe unjust and unnecessary death of Daunté Wright is one of the most recent examples of how systemic racism has claimed the life of yet another Black person. We\, the School of Social Work Community\, are responding to this national\, pervasive problem by saying “enough is enough\,” and we need to make system-level change in our own sphere of influence. The University of Michigan must urgently move towards system-level changes by promoting more anti-racist practices and policies in our community. The University of Michigan\, with its abundance of resources\, should also be taking concrete actions to support the family and loved ones of Daunté Wright and the countless others who have lost someone to police brutality.\n\nJustice for Daunté Wright looks like supporting his family as they deal with this traumatic loss\; it looks like respecting his life enough to call his death a murder\, not an accident. Justice for Daunté Wright looks like holding the police officer who murdered him fully accountable\, and\, more broadly\, it looks like working to dismantle the systemic problems that lead to police brutality. While it is easy to point to implicit bias or a lack of training\, the root cause of police terrorism and other systems that disproportionately harm Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color (BIPOC) populations is hatred in the form of racism. Unfortunately\, higher education is a system steeped in racism as well. Many BIPOC students are harmed while pursuing their education\, and many White students move through their educational experience without learning how they are perpetuating oppression. These problems impact students\, faculty\, and staff. \n\nAs students in the School of Social Work\, we have identified many ways that our school harms our BIPOC community members\, and we know similar problems exist throughout the University. Similarly\, we have identified many missed opportunities to prepare students to exit the University with the skills and knowledge to be anti-racist and disrupt cycles of harm. These are the ways systemic racism continues\, and this is part of the reason we fail to make meaningful progress on complex issues like police brutality.\n\nWe demand that the University of Michigan uses its power as a leading university to take immediate action to support Daunté Wright’s family. We demand that the School of Social Work take direct action to dismantle systemic racism in our community. We demand the University broadly considers how the issues that exist in the microcosm of the School of Social Work exist University-wide. We demand that the University of Michigan and School of Social Work adopt intentional practices to counteract the harm imposed on the BIPOC Community. Enough is enough!
