SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Bugs as Drugs: Engineering Bacterial Biotherapeutics
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT\n\nThe human body is a complex ecosystem supporting symbiotic relationships with thousands of microbial species. The ubiquity and importance of these commensal communities underscore their potential as an untapped reservoir of biological function\, and recent increased interest into commensal microbial species has led to countless insights in this field. Due to these efforts\, the opportunity now exists to capitalize on the increasingly sophisticated understanding of the human microbiota and expand research efforts beyond characterization\, toward engineering. Commensal microbes are already perfectly suited for safe and effective habitation and colonization of various physiological niches\; what remains is to harness their genomic plasticity and promote their capacity to function as robust biochemical factories. The Sirk Lab aims to engineer therapeutic capacity into commensal microorganisms to address unmet needs in human health\, with a specific focus on generating strains of human gut bacterial species that can produce disease-fighting biological compounds in the intestinal tract to address key limitations with current therapeutic approaches for important diseases such as recurrent gastrointestinal infections. We are also pursuing studies focused on respiratory disease in both humans and animals of agricultural relevance.\n\n \n\nBIO\n\nProf. Sirk received her AB in Biology from Occidental College in Los Angeles\, CA and her Ph.D. in Molecular and Medical Pharmacology from UCLA. Her doctoral studies focused on engineering antibody fragments for targeted tumor imaging using positron emission tomography. Her postdoctoral training began at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla\, CA\, where she continued to work with engineered antibodies while also performing detailed protein engineering studies to generate site-specific nucleases and recombinases for targeted genome modifications\, in the era immediately prior to the introduction of CRISPR-based gene editing technology. She then pursued further postdoctoral training at Stanford University where she first began to explore the world of commensal microbes by studying the role that gut bacteria play in the activation of drug-like dietary molecules. At the University of Illinois\, her research group aims to leverage the power of protein engineering\, therapeutic biomolecules\, and the ever-expanding opportunities of commensal microbial species and communities to address critical needs in disease prevention and treatment in humans\, animals\, insects\, and plants.\n\nHOSTS:\nMatthew Ostrowski\nThomas Schmidt\n\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/96357036922

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Book Launch & Conversation: \"The Arab and Jewish Questions: Geographies of Engagement in Palestine and Beyond\"
DESCRIPTION:Nineteenth-century Europe turned the political status of its Jewish communities into the “Jewish Question\,” as both Christianity and rising forms of nationalism viewed Jews as the ultimate other. With the onset of Zionism\, this “question” migrated to Palestine and intensified under British colonial rule and in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Zionism’s attempt to solve the “Jewish Question” created what came to be known as the “Arab Question\,” which concerned the presence and rights of the Arab population in Palestine. For the most part\, however\, Jewish settlers denied or dismissed the question they created\, to the detriment of both Arabs and Jews in Palestine and elsewhere.\n\nThis book brings together leading scholars to consider how these two questions are entangled historically and in the present day. It offers critical analyses of Arab engagements with the question of Jewish rights alongside Zionist and non-Zionist Jewish considerations of Palestinian identity and political rights. Together\, the essays show that the Arab and Jewish questions\, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which they have become subsumed\, belong to the same thorny history. Despite their major differences\, the historical Jewish and Arab questions are about the political rights of oppressed groups and their inclusion within exclusionary political communities—a question that continues to foment tensions in the Middle East\, Europe\, and the United States. Shedding new light on the intricate relationships among Orientalism\, anti-Semitism\, Islamophobia\, colonialism\, and the impasse in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict\, this book reveals the inseparability of Arab and Jewish struggles for self-determination and political equality.\n\nBashir Bashir is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology\, Political Science\, and Communication at the Open University of Israel and a senior research fellow at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. He is the co-editor of The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History (Columbia University Press\, 2018).\n\nMoshe Behar holds a PhD from Columbia University and is Associate Professor and Programme Director\, Arabic & Middle Eastern Studies\, University of Manchester. The title of his chapter is “Competing Marxisms\, Cessation of (Settler) Colonialism\, and the One-State Solution in Israel/Palestine\,” in The Arab and Jewish Questions: Geographies of Engagementin Palestine and Beyond (Bashir Bashir & Leila Farsakh\, eds\, Columbia University Press).\n\nNEWBOOK20 will give a 20% discount \n\nAdvance Registration Required: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/3216131581216/WN_56Kv4OYQS76zlUHxi8j58g

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Japanese Studies and Antiracist Pedagogy | Confronting the “Ends” of Area: On Transpacific Accountability
DESCRIPTION:Advance registration for this Zoom webinar is required: https://myumi.ch/51ZvE\n\nPart of the Japanese Studies and Antiracist Pedagogy webinar series: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/jsap/webinars/\n\nHas Japanese Studies ever been a discipline? Who was it for? Conversations about its disciplinary survival continue and repeat attempts to contend with the deconstructive critique of “area.” According to reactions to the deconstructive critique of Area Studies\, which began its course in the 1980s\, we stand on the epistemological precipice of not simply the decline\, but the death of the disciplines that comprise\, for example\, “Asian Studies” and “Latin American Studies.” Yet\, efforts to undo Cold War era formations of knowledge production\, in turn\, have galvanized projects that seek to validate area studies through the rhetoric of their “re-birth\,” often in formats that purport an interdisciplinary awareness to the diversifying demographics of higher education.\n   \nIn this webinar\, our aim will be to openly discuss the contradictions between the goal of “antiracist pedagogy” and the limits and possibilities of “Japanese Studies.” In emphasizing a framework of transpacific accountability that interrogates the “area” model through engaging critical race and Indigenous epistemologies\, the webinar proposes a confrontation with the perceived crisis of area fields as an opening for a way to rethink and re-orient antiracist pedagogy. Highlighting a comparative study of race across Japan and Latin America as a case for the transpacific framework\, the webinar introduces critical approaches to the histories of racism\, militarism\, nationalism\, capitalism\, and heterosexism in research and pedagogy across and after the “ends” of area.\n   \nAndrea Mendoza is an Assistant Professor of Japanese and Comparative Literature at UC San Diego. Her research areas are in critical race studies\, transpacific studies\, and East Asian and Latin American literatures and visual cultures.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Visualizing Equality: African American Rights and Visual Culture in the 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:The fight for racial equality in the 19th century played out not only in marches and political conventions but also in the print and visual culture created and disseminated throughout the United States by African Americans. Advances in visual technologies—daguerreotypes\, lithographs\, cartes de visite\, and steam printing presses—enabled people to see and participate in social reform movements in new ways. African American activists seized these opportunities and produced images that advanced campaigns for black rights. \n\nIn this talk based on his book \"Visualizing Identity\,\" (University of North Carolina Press\, 2020) Aston Gonzalez charts the changing roles of African American visual artists as they helped build the world they envisioned. Understudied artists such as Robert Douglass Jr.\, Patrick Henry Reason\, James Presley Ball\, and Augustus Washington produced images to persuade viewers of the necessity for racial equality\, black political leadership\, and freedom from slavery. Moreover\, these activist artists’ networks of transatlantic patronage and travels to Europe\, the Caribbean\, and Africa reveal their extensive involvement in the most pressing concerns for black people in the Atlantic world. Their work demonstrates how images became central to the ways that people developed ideas about race\, citizenship\, and politics during the 19th century.\n\nRegister at myumi.ch/0WEk3\n\nAston Gonzalez is a historian of African American culture and politics during the long 19th century. He is an Associate Professor of History at Salisbury University. Gonzalez earned his Ph.D. in History from the University of Michigan.
