SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Struggle to Survive in Central America: A Portrait of Life from a Grassroots\, Human Rights Perspective
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will be live streamed.\n\nThis presentation will give an overview of the forces that impact the daily lives of Central Americans who are struggling to provide for their families in a context of poverty\, violence\, extractive industries and impunity.  Especially highlighted will be the country of Honduras\, whose residents continue to try to flee to the U.S. Border out of desperation.\n\n\nMary Anne Perrone is an educator\, an activist and a spiritual guide.  All her adult life she has been an activist for peace and justice. Her particular area of focus for over 30 years has been on human rights in Latin America.  This work led their young family to live and work in Latin America in the late 1980’s (Bolivia) to accompany the poor there in a spirit of liberation.  She has been working in the U.S. ever since to raise consciousness about our country’s role in human rights violations in Latin America and to work for substantive change in our foreign policy.  In the last two decades\, this work has taken her on multiple human rights delegations to several Latin American countries\, connecting with and accompanying courageous people working in their own countries to defend those whose human rights are highly threatened.  \n\nThis is the last of a six-lecture series. The subject of the series is Central America: Coffee to Caravans. OLLI’s lecture series will start again in September of 2021. Learn from well-known experts about an array of interesting subjects\, with an interactive Q&A period following each lecture.\n\nPreregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone.  A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Prechter-Tam Bipolar Seminar Series: Pluripotent Stem Cell Models to Study Bipolar Disorder
DESCRIPTION:\"Characterization of stem cell-derived exosomes in bipolar disorder and their impact on recipient cells.\"\n\nBipolar disorder is a condition that involves the human brain. There is no easy access to brain tissue from living people.  Using induced pluripotent stem cells offers the first opportunity to model the activity of brain and nerve cells from individuals with bipolar disorder. Samples from skin are ‘induced’ to form pluripotent stem cells that can subsequently be prompted to grow into nerve cells.  Shortly after this technology was developed\, the Prechter Bipolar Research Program expanded to include Sue O’Shea\, PhD\, Professor\, in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology who works on pluripotent stem cells.  Individuals with a history of bipolar disorder and non-bipolar controls provided skin samples that were grown into stem cells and then nerve cells.  Over the past decade this work has expanded to include a multisite collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania\, the Salk Institute\, Sanford Burnham Institute\, and Janssen Pharmaceuticals.  Several significant findings have included the consistent characteristic of premature excitability of nerve cells derived from individuals with bipolar disorder\, the abnormal behaviors of astrocytes\, and the apparent dysfunction of exosomes.  These patterns are leading towards the identification of target pathways that may be suitable for pharmaceutical intervention.  \n\nU-M PANEL DISCUSSION\n\nPanel Moderator: Melvin G.

SUMMARY:Presentation:CGIS Winter Advising
DESCRIPTION:As studying abroad becomes more of a possibility for U-M students\, particularly for Winter 2022\, CGIS will be offering a 2-day Winter Advising event where students can learn more about major-specific programs such as programs in the environment\, pre-health\, and public health and interest-specific program sessions such as studying abroad in the UK and English-Taught programs in Asia to name few. The LSA Scholarship Office and the Office of Financial Aid will join us on May 20th to help answer questions you may have on funding your semester program abroad as well as walking you through the application process! First Step sessions will be offered each day of the event as well. Each info session will be interactive. Each session will offer an opportunity to interact with advisors and address questions or concerns you may have regarding study abroad. To get a general idea of participation\, please RSVP below and select info sessions that you'd be interested in. We'll send you a Zoom link as we get closer to the event! \n\nDISCLAIMER: With each passing term\, a small yet increasing number of our programs seem to offer the possibility of receiving students\, so CGIS proceeded with very cautious optimism that students will be able to study abroad in the coming academic year. CGIS and the University of Michigan continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation as it develops worldwide. Parents and other concerned parties who would like to receive this information should ask their students to share the updates with them. Students planning to participate in CGIS programs worldwide are advised to continue to closely monitor the latest developments and to adhere to any national and international public health directives issued by their host country or institution. CGIS will contact students who have opened or submitted an application to a CGIS program if and when updates are available.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Japanese Studies and Antiracist Pedagogy | Kaleidoscopic Vision: Okinawa Amidst Competing Transpacific Politics
DESCRIPTION:Advance registration for this Zoom webinar is required:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sCvvNSW5TpW6miJZxLtg7w\n   \n   Part of the Japanese Studies and Antiracist Pedagogy webinar series:\nhttps://sites.lsa.umich.edu/jsap/webinars/\n   \n   In the Asia Pacific\, the Ryukyu Kingdom was a major trading nation during the early modern period and Okinawa was the “Keystone of the Pacific” that served as a launching pad for America’s Cold War during the postwar era. The Satsuma domain invaded the Ryukyus in 1609 and turned it into a “hidden colony” vis-a-vis Ming/Qing China so that it could continue to funnel Chinese goods and culture into its domain via the Ryukyus without offending either China or the Tokugawa bakufu’s “closed country” (sakoku) policy. After the newly established Meiji government invaded the Ryukyu Kingdom and annexed it as Okinawa Prefecture in 1879\, it once again kept it as a “hidden colony” vis-a-vis the international community. Today\, modern Japan\, and now also the US\, continue to hide Okinawa’s colonial condition in order to concentrate US military bases on the islands in the interests of both.\n   \n   Ifa Fuyū (1876-1947)\, the “father of Okinawan studies\,” argued that Ryukyuan political and cultural life peaked in the 16th century when it could openly dazzle with the kaleidoscopic brilliance of all cultures that touched the lives of the Ryukyuan people. However\, from the 17th century forward\, Okinawa could only be seen in the ever shifting shadows of a constellation of moving sovereign states. Its dynamism—its “doubleness”—has been routinely flattened out into a singularity that is consumed by surrounding sovereign powers. This can be seen in Okinawa’s modern-day postcolonial predicament of a concentrated US military base presence that is enabled by the popular will of the Japanese people. For American statesmen\, Okinawa is simply “one part of Japan” and therefore not a US problem\, and for more progressive politics\, Okinawa is victim to US (military) imperialism and white supremacy. For Japanese statesmen\, Okinawa is simply ignored\, and for more progressive politics\, Okinawa is again victim to US (military) imperialism and white supremacy. However\, Okinawans have recently been problematizing the fact that it is the Japanese government who funds the US military bases and decides to concentrate them in Okinawa\, and the will of the Japanese people who are happy with this arrangement that guarantees Japanese economic and political stability.\n   \n   Hence\, when thinking of Okinawa transpacifically\, which Okinawa do we prioritize? The Okinawa in the shadows of the US\, or the Okinawa in the shadows of Japan? In this webinar\, I will put Ifa in conversation with his contemporary W.E.B. Du Bois to imagine a global politics of the color line in which doubleness is not suppressed but becomes a driving liberatory force for what Ifa called an “age of sweetness” (ama yū) after colonialism.\n   \n   Annmaria Shimabuku is the Director of Graduate Studies and Associate Professor at NYU. Her research is centered in the intersection of postcolonial Japanese Studies\, Okinawan Studies\, and literary/political theory.\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:Lecture / Discussion:Preventing Cambodia’s Genocidal Past from Becoming Afghanistan’s Future
DESCRIPTION:Organized with the Holocaust Memorial Center and The Donia Human Rights Center\n\nAfter nearly two decades of war in Afghanistan\, the U.S. government is engaged in talks with the Taliban as part of an effort to forge a peace settlement and wind down U.S. military commitment. Within Afghanistan\, government officials and ordinary citizens are fearful that an American exit could leave a beleaguered population at the mercy of the Taliban. How can the U.S. avoid a repeat of the 1975 Indochina withdrawal\, which contributed to the rise of Cambodia’s genocidal Khmer Rouge regime? Associate Professor of Public Policy\, John D. Ciorciari\, will discuss the ways in which governments and ordinary citizens can help reduce the risk of genocide.
