SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reading: Operation MInd\, A Brief Documentary Account of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. And Why It Matters Now.
DESCRIPTION:Literati Bookstore celebrates the release of a new edition of Operation Mind\, featuring readings by Silke-Maria Weineck and Alan Wald.\n\nTuesday\, SEPTEMBER 16\, 2025 - 6:30pm\nLiterati Bookstore\n124 E. Washington St. Ann Arbor\, MI 48104\n\nAbout the book: \nNatalie Zemon Davis and Elizabeth Douvan’s Operation Mind is a body of evidence\, a prophetic warning\, and a call to action about the urgency of doing all we can to prevent thought control in America. In 1952\, this meticulously researched pamphlet documented the House Committee on Un-American Activities’ attacks and impact. The HUAC abused its charge to intimidate and silence academics\, union members\, social critics\, scientists\, artists\, teachers\, political opponents\, rabbis and other religious leaders\, to make them appear suspect and “un-American” in the eyes of the American people.\n\nThe 2025 reprint of Operation Mind offers a foreword by comparatist Silke-Maria Weineck and an essay by historian Alan Wald connecting Operation Mind’s history of McCarthyism with present-day attacks on academic freedom.\n\nSilke-Maria Weineck is the Grace Lee Boggs Professor of Comparative Literature and German Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. She is interested in figurations of power\, be they literary\, cultural\, or institutional.\n\nAlan Wald is H. Chandler Davis Collegiate Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. The author of nine books on the US literary and intellectual Left\, he is a member of the Academic Council of Jewish Voice for Peace and the University of Michigan Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Dinner & Sneak Peek: Existing Differently Regional Summit
DESCRIPTION:Visionary Organizing is an approach to solving social\, individual\, community\, and organizational problems that equally emphasizes our material needs for survival and our nonmaterial needs for thriving. It solves problems by applying six components to a problem and facilitates change by nurturing interdependence\, transforming relationships\, and creating new systems that can replace what already exists. \n\nCollege students are faced with a serious set of problems. They have to navigate an unpredictable economy\, an ever-evolving relationship with technology\, a changing climate\, and weakening social ties. Solving these problems requires skills that empower them to become leaders who can make their material needs for survival and their nonmaterial needs for well-being equally important. \n\nTo support student leadership development\, Visionary Organizing Lab and Student Life Sustainability at the University of Michigan are partnering to host the Great Lakes Regional Training in Visionary Organizing—a 4.5-day immersive experience in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. This training is open to undergraduate students from midwestern universities who are curious about social change or already engaged in addressing social and community challenges.\n\nOur vision is to support a generation of students who can leave campus and practice Visionary Organizing in communities and organizations with others.\n\n**Dinner will be served**

SUMMARY:Film Screening:True False Hot Cold Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Democracy on Screen — a film series presented as part of the Ford School’s Resilient Democracies initiative. This series celebrates the role of storytelling and creative expression in shaping\, challenging\, and expanding our understanding of democracy and civic empowerment. Through powerful films\, we’ll explore how everyday people and grassroots movements drive change\, amplify marginalized voices\, and reimagine what democracy can be.\n\nTrue False Hot Cold (2024) is a documentary TV series by filmmaker Ben Stillerman about climate\, beliefs and better conversations. Filmed in Emery County\, Utah\, a region with high levels of climate skepticism\, the series features short episodes with candid interviews and slice-of-life vignettes of local residents\, including farmers\, ranchers\, and coal miners\, to understand their perspectives and find common ground. The goal is not necessarily to achieve agreement\, but to practice empathy\, curiosity\, and dignity in conversations across divides.

By presenting a critical counter narrative\, WPD CRC uses knowledge as a tool to empower Detroit citizens as they fight for an equitable and beloved community. WPD CRC's most recent project addresses the public health crisis in Detroit as a result of unsafe and inaccessible water services.\n\nThe Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions speaker series introduces key issues regarding the causes and consequences of poverty through an in-person and virtual lecture series featuring experts in policy and practice from across the nation. Our goal is to help build a broad community of learners to engage in these issues together.\n\nThis series is free and open to the public as well as being a one-credit course for U-M students (SWK 503\, Course #25751). In-person talks include coffee\, cookies\, and the chance to ask the speakers questions or watch the livestream on YouTube.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Book Reading re: Chandler Davis
DESCRIPTION:Editors John Cheney-Lippold\, Gary D. Krenz\, and Melanie S. Tanielian join contributor Ellen Schrecker in a conversation about the new book \"In the Spirit of H. Chandler Davis: Activism and the Struggle for Academic Freedom.\"\n\nThe essays collected in this book honor H. Chandler Davis (1926-2022)\, a University of Michigan faculty member who became a symbol of principled dissent when suspended and fired in 1954 for refusing to testify about his political affiliations to the House Un-American Activities Committee. Invoking academic freedom and First Amendment protection\, Davis was convicted of contempt of Congress. He served six months in prison before moving to Canada\, where he established himself as a brilliant mathematician\, prolific writer\, and ardent and much beloved advocate for justice.\n\nAt a time when a new McCarthyism has come roaring back to threaten free inquiry everywhere\, the 12 contributors to this book argue against censorship\, the suppression of protest\, the policed and surveilled campus\, the self-silencing of “institutional neutrality\,” and other enemies of academic freedom. Also included in this volume is posthumously published work by Davis and by his late wife\, the historian Natalie Zemon Davis\, which reflects on the importance of facing\, and not accepting\, authoritarian threats.\n\nInspired by Chandler Davis’ courage\, integrity\, and devotion to the struggle against oppression\, injustice\, and the persecution of speech\, these essays offer crucial insights into the importance of defending intellectual independence\, institutional autonomy\, and the right to free expression.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dimanche
DESCRIPTION:Two award-winning Belgian mime and puppetry companies come together for this stunning visual performance combining puppetry\, video\, mime\, and clowning.\n\nSometime in the near future\, it is the end of the world as we know it. In their small city home\, a family is about to spend their Sunday together\, but the walls are shaking\, strong winds and torrential rain rage outside\, and the storm has only just begun. Amidst this climatic chaos\, the protagonists absurdly attempt to maintain a normal family life.\n\nMeanwhile\, somewhere else on the planet\, three traveling wildlife reporters are doing their best to document the apocalypse. With what little equipment they have\, they film three wild animals on the brink of extinction.\n\nBetween dreamlike fiction and stark reality\, Dimanche paints a witty and tender portrait of humanity surprised by the uncontrollable forces of nature\, observing the absurdity of keeping up appearances amidst an ecological collapse. “Meticulous scenes and beautiful theatrical effects create a surreal\, dreamlike world with an eye for detail. Dimanche is a dystopian parable about the climate\, yet a joy to behold.” (De Standaard\, Belgium)

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:GalleryDAAS Presents: Archives of Resistance: Visuals and Voices from Carceral State Project Research
DESCRIPTION:Opening December 8\, 2025 and running through January 2026\nGalleryDAAS| Haven Hall| G648| Monday - Friday 10-4pm\n\nThis exhibit showcases stories of resistance\, resilience\, and hope\, in the face of mass incarceration\, police violence\, immigrant detention\, and systematic racial criminalization. Archives of Resistance presents art\, prisoner correspondence\, research publications\, and archival documentation produced by the component projects of the Carceral State Project. These include: The Reckoning Project\, Immigrant Justice Lab\, Black & Pink at SPH\, ICE in the Heartland\, Critical Carceral Visualities\, Policing & Social Justice HistoryLab\, and Confronting Conditions of Confinement and Resistance. Artwork made by people in prison through Prison Creative Arts Project workshops is also on display. \n\nThe U-M Carceral State Project\, housed within the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, brings impacted communities and advocacy organizations together with researchers from the University of Michigan. The CSP was first organized in 2018 and has since grown to involve over a dozen community and campus partners\, many graduate students\, and more than 400 undergraduate researchers. \n\nThrough public scholarship\, creative expression\, multimedia storytelling\, and archival documentation\, we highlight the lived experiences and persistent resistance of those impacted by criminalization\, policing\, incarceration\, immigrant detention\, and other forms of carceral control in the state of Michigan and beyond. The work presented in this exhibit represents only a sliver of the extensive research\, art\, advocacy\, public engagement\, and other products generated by the Carceral State Project over the years.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dimanche
DESCRIPTION:Two award-winning Belgian mime and puppetry companies come together for this stunning visual performance combining puppetry\, video\, mime\, and clowning.\n\nSometime in the near future\, it is the end of the world as we know it. In their small city home\, a family is about to spend their Sunday together\, but the walls are shaking\, strong winds and torrential rain rage outside\, and the storm has only just begun. Amidst this climatic chaos\, the protagonists absurdly attempt to maintain a normal family life.\n\nMeanwhile\, somewhere else on the planet\, three traveling wildlife reporters are doing their best to document the apocalypse. With what little equipment they have\, they film three wild animals on the brink of extinction.\n\nBetween dreamlike fiction and stark reality\, Dimanche paints a witty and tender portrait of humanity surprised by the uncontrollable forces of nature\, observing the absurdity of keeping up appearances amidst an ecological collapse. “Meticulous scenes and beautiful theatrical effects create a surreal\, dreamlike world with an eye for detail. Dimanche is a dystopian parable about the climate\, yet a joy to behold.” (De Standaard\, Belgium)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Martin Luther King\, Jr. Lecture
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: This lecture explores the question of Black political activism and racial representation in Brazilian politics. In the last 40 years\, affirmative action\, racial inequality\, and racial discrimination have entered the national political agenda. Black activists have long demanded specific policies to improve the social\, economic\, and political situation of Afro-Brazilians. The implementation of affirmative action policies in higher education has emphasized the significance of race\, class\, and social inclusion. Black politicians and leaders are often the most committed defenders of affirmative action and pro-racial equality policies. This lecture will focus on leading Black activists and organizations and their demands for social change. Afro-Brazilians are dramatically underrepresented among Brazil’s political elite. This presentation will also examine the degree to which Black elected and appointed officials prioritize Afro-Brazilians in their work. Which political parties and states of the country have produced more Afro-Brazilian government officials? Workers’ Party/PT presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rouseff have appointed more Black cabinet members than other presidents. Despite advances in racial representation\, Afro-Brazilians remain in a fragile socio-economic and political situation. Their concerns and welfare are not top priorities for Brazil’s most powerful and influential leaders.\n\nBIOGRAPHY: Dr. Ollie Johnson is a scholar of Black political experiences across the Americas. He is a Professor in the Department of African American Studies at Wayne State University\, where he has taught courses such as Black Social and Political Thought and Pan Africanism: Politics of the Black Diaspora. His primary fields of inquiry are African American\, Afro-Brazilian\, and Afro-Latin American politics\, with particular expertise in Black political activism\, representation\, and the transnational dimensions of Black political movements. Dr. Johnson received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California at Berkeley\, an M.A. in Political Science from UC Berkeley\, an M.A. in Brazilian Studies from Brown University\, and a B.A. in Afro-American Studies and International Relations from Brown University. His research is published in numerous journal articles and book chapters\, as well as in his authored and edited books\, including Brazilian Party Politics and the Coup of 1964 (2001)\, Black Political\n\nTo attend this lecture via Zoom webinar\, visit https://umich.zoom.us/j/92980196679

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.
