Changing Gears (CG) is a UROP program designed primarily for community college transfer students who will be attending the University of Michigan, but also serves students transferring from 4 year institutions. Students in the CG Program become a part of an ongoing faculty-driven research, scholarly or creative project in their field of interest. Students learn valuable academic skills, applying these skills to their research project, academics, and future career opportunities, while receiving academic credit or compensation for their efforts in research work.

If you are a U-M Transfer Student and not graduating until winter 2022 and/or after, you are eligible to apply to the 2021-2022 UROP Changing Gears Program.

From Medical Image to Icon: How Art Can Heal a Broken Body (May 10, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83790 83790-21530352@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, May 10, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: The University of Michigan Medical School Program on Health, Spirituality and Religion

Devan Stahl is an Assistant Professor of Bioethics in the Department of Religion at Baylor University. Her research interests include disability ethics, medicine and the visual arts, and theological bioethics. Dr. Stahl’s last book, Imaging and Imagining Illness: Becoming Whole in a Broken Body is an edited volume examining the power of medical images on the experience of chronic illness and disability.

Abstract: Many people will first learn they have an illness through a medical image such as an MRI, but these images often deny the messiness, ambiguities, and the identity of the patient who is represented in them. In this presentation, Devan Stahl explores how medical images have historically revealed the implicit theology of the culture in which they are produced. Today, a growing number of artists with disabilities are transforming their medical images into works of art, which raise deeply theological questions concerning what it means to be embodied and how our bodies relate to a transcendent God.
