SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Africa Conference | Shifting Tides: The U.S.-Africa Relationship Amid Global Competition
DESCRIPTION:“Shifting Tides: The U.S.-Africa Relationship Amid Global Competition” is a two-day conference examining how African states\, regional institutions\, and global powers are navigating rapidly evolving geopolitical\, economic\, and legal landscapes. Bringing together scholars\, policymakers\, legal experts\, investors\, and diplomats\, the conference will explore African perspectives on global governance reform\, climate and innovation challenges\, great power competition\, peace and security\, and emerging economic growth trajectories—including trade integration\, industrial policy\, and Africa-to-Africa investment. With a blend of legal and policy perspectives across five thematic panels\, the conference seeks to analyze the strategic choices facing African governments\, assess implications for U.S. diplomatic and economic engagement\, and highlight the African Union’s growing influence in global diplomacy\, trade\, and law. Through a private expert roundtable and public panel discussions\, the conference will foster critical dialogue and produce actionable policy recommendations aimed at strengthening U.S.–Africa engagement in a more multipolar and economically dynamic world.\n\n\nConference RSVP Link: https://forms.gle/ZswvAJUmq6EVnSTH9\n\nPanel Information (All times are Eastern.)\n\nMonday\, October 12\, 2026\nLocation: Weiser Hall\, Room 1010 — 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor\n\n10:15–11:45 AM\nPanel 1 — African Voices on Global Governance\, International Law\, and Institutional Reform\n\nCombines African policy and legal perspectives on reforming global governance and the rules-based order.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Before the Conversation: Preparing Ourselves for Better Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Designed for people who regularly engage in dialogue and want to do so with greater intention\, this interactive workshop explores dialogue as both a skill set and a relational practice. Participants will examine conflict influencers that shape a conversation before it begins. \n\nThrough guided reflection\, facilitated conversation\, and applied practice\, participants will examine what shapes their readiness for difficult dialogue and develop a pre-dialogue ritual they can use in future conversations. \n\nThe session will support participants in remaining engaged across differences while creating conditions for perspective-taking and collaborative engagement.\n\nDIALOGUE MICHIGAN\nThis event is part of Dialogue Michigan's 2026-2027 faculty and staff workshops.
