Organized By: Positive Business Conference

How has this unprecedented time of disruption affected leaders and employees? How are they engaging in their work, and with each other? Although the current climate has posed many challenges, it also leaves room to reengage and reimagine organizational strategies. Companies have the opportunity to adopt creative and more agile work methods; renew discussions surrounding DEI; implement a stronger commitment to racial justice; and improve employee engagement. Leaders have the potential to create supportive structures, practices, and cultures that foster connection, while employees have the potential to self-discover and drive a mindful and meaningful connection to their work. All can act in harmony to connect with an organization’s purpose-driven mission.

Join us for the virtual Michigan Ross Positive Business Conference, May 13-14, 2021, where we’ll share new practices, tools, and real-world examples for how to build stronger, more connected teams and companies. Leading faculty and industry experts from Cisco, IDEO, Masco, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and more, will explore this year’s theme of “Meaningful Engagement in a Fragmented Time: Connecting with Self, Others, and Society.”

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

LEAD, Leading Equity And Diversity, is a series of conversations where attendees have the opportunity to hear from a diverse group of guests who lead and/or support DEI and social justice initiatives. This LEAD conversation will address how racism is a public health crisis.
COVID-19 and its disproportionate impact on communities of color have unearthed the deep roots of inequity that exist in the structures of our society, including our health system. Speakers will discuss racism and its effects on health and health outcomes from their experiences and research, as well as the multifaceted causes of higher burdens of illness, injury, disability, or mortality experienced by communities of color. They will also offer ideas for anti-racist policies and solutions to address racial health disparities.
Speakers:

She has more than 25 years of experience in race relations and social epidemiology, research and practice; serves as chair-elect (2019 to 2021), Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Group on Diversity and Inclusion, AAMC Group on Women in Medicine and Science steering committee member (2013 to 2018); appointed board member, National Diversity Council Healthcare and Time’s UP Healthcare; founding member and President, Texas Medical School Diversity and Inclusion Consortium.

Writing the Black Decade: Conflict and Criticism in Francophone Algerian Literature (May 14, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82652 82652-21153693@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, May 14, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Judaic Studies

Joseph Ford is joined by Imen Neffati to discuss his new book Writing the Black Decade: Conflict and Criticism in Francophone Algerian Literature, which examines how literature—and the way we read, classify, and critique literature—impacts our understanding of the world at a time of conflict. Using the bitterly-contested Algerian Civil War as a case study, Joseph Ford argues that, while literature is frequently understood as an illuminating and emancipatory tool, it can, in fact, restrain our understanding of the world during a time of crisis and further entrench the polarized discourses that lead to conflict in the first place. Ford demonstrates how Francophone Algerian literature, along with the cultural and academic criticism that has surrounded it, has mobilized visions of Algeria over the past thirty years that often belie the complex and multi-layered realities of power, resistance, and conflict in the region.
Joseph Ford is Lecturer in French Studies and Director of the Center for the Study of Cultural Memory at the Institute of Modern Languages Research in London. He is the author of Writing the Black Decade: Conflict and Criticism in Francophone Algerian Literature (2021). He specializes in contemporary French and Francophone Literature and Culture, with specific interests in Algeria and what has become known as the Algerian Civil War or "Black Decade" of the 1990s. His wider research interests are in postcolonial studies, world literature, literary translation, and French and Francophone intellectual culture of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Imen Neffati is Junior Research Fellow at Pembroke College, Oxford. She is a historian of modern France and North Africa, with a broader interest in religion, secularism, and modernity. Her research concerns the study of religious identities, particularly Muslim identities in North Africa and France. She is currently building up a project that examines inheritance law and debates over its reform in Tunisia. She is also working on a monograph that examines the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and its predecessor Hara Kiri.

AIA Lecture | The Rise and Fall of Napata, an Ancient City along the Nile (May 14, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83772 83772-21501089@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, May 14, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Napata (modern Jebel Barkal), located on the Middle Nile in what is now northern Sudan, was an urban center for nearly 2,000 years, at least 1500 BCE to 250 CE. While earlier generations of research at the site focused on the monumental pyramids, temples, and palaces that are its most visible remains, a new project at the site aims to reconceptualize these scattered monuments as parts of an ancient city. Magnetometry and test excavation in 2019 and 2020 have identified a previously unrecognized area of settlement (a "lost city") and begin to allow us to evaluate the local environment and economy.

This lecture is presented by the Archaeological Institute of America-Toledo Society, Toledo Museum of Art, and the University of Toledo.
