Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/AWree\n\nThe 2022 elections saw the rise to the commanding heights of power in the Philippines of scions of two prominent political families: Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Sara Duterte\, who were voted president and vice president\, respectively. They are the children of two former presidents who have been accused of the most grievous offenses committed by a Philippine head of state since 1935\, when first presidential elections were held during the Philippine Commonwealth\, under the aegis of U.S. colonial rule. Ferdinand Marcos Sr. has been accused of grievous human rights abuses and of plundering as much as $20 billion dollars during his 20-year rule (1965-1986). Rodrigo Duterte (2016-2022) presided over a bloody war on drugs that killed thousands\, many of them small-time drug peddlers or drug users in urban slums.\n\nAre Philippine elections therefore not accountability mechanisms but more like laundromats that wash away the sins of the past? A cycle of wash\, rinse\, repeat\, whereby political families like the Marcoses and the Dutertes can cleanse themselves of the taint of past wrongdoing and be fresh again?\n\nThis talk will examine the enduring hold of political families in the Philippines and the mechanisms that they employ to appeal to the electorate and to control the levers of political power at the local and national levels.\n\nSHEILA S. CORONEL is director of the Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism and the Stabile Professor of Professional Practice in Investigative Journalism at Columbia University. She worked for many years as a journalist in the Philippines and was a co-founder and director of the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism. She is the author and editor of more than a dozen books. She has received numerous awards for her work\, including the Ramon Magsaysay Award\, Asia’s highest prize.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/pkDjq\n\nWith a history spanning just over 100 years\, Korean art song (Gagok)\, is an equally sophisticated and beautiful genre as German Lieder or French mélodies. The repertoire has received almost no attention by performers and scholars\, however. The majority of those who do study and perform it tend to be of Korean background and already have mastery of the language.\n \n Since 2020\, Dr. Matthew Thompson has run a FEAST research team at U-M dedicated to making Korean art song more accessible to English speakers. What are the challenges of encountering this repertoire as a non-native speaker? What materials and resources exist to aid those interested in further study? Dr. Thompson will present both on his research and on the materials that he is developing to help more people engage with this amazing repertoire.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/W281w\n\nNor Ismah introduces a novel approach to examining fatwas (Islamic legal opinions) within the context of Indonesia\, with the aim of contributing to the broader field of Islamic Studies on fatwa-making. It advocates for a redirection of research attention towards women's fatwa-making\, emphasizing their lived experiences and the specific locales where they issue fatwas. By integrating Islamic studies frameworks with anthropological research and gender studies\, my presentation challenges the conventional concentration on male-dominated institutions\, highlighting the grassroots level practice of issuing fatwas\, particularly by women.\n \n She contends that fatwa-issuing institutions exhibit gendered structures that marginalize women from significant roles and recognition as Islamic scholars. Consequently\, an exploration of women's fatwa-making necessitates an examination of various interaction sites between female muftis and those seeking fatwas. These interactions unveil dynamic shifts in women's experiences\, religious authority\, and everyday fatwa-making practices influenced by context-specific resources. The active participation of women disrupts traditional norms\, challenging gendered structures within fatwa-making institutions.\n \n Additionally\, it signifies the evolution of doctrinal changes and ethical practices\, transforming fatwas from static outcomes into a dynamic and inclusive realm of interaction\, innovation\, and Islamic authority. The presentation argues that the success observed in Indonesia holds paramount importance for a comprehensive understanding of Muslim women's experiences in contemporary Muslim society. To achieve a holistic perspective\, the study recommends shifting the focus away from the Middle East and expanding research to encompass Muslims in other regions\, particularly Southeast Asia\, where the most populous Muslim country is situated. This shift is envisioned to offer a well-rounded depiction of the diverse experiences of Muslim women beyond the conventional geographical center of Islam.\n \n Nor Ismah is Deputy Director of the Institute of Southeast Asian Islam at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University in Indonesia. She holds a Master’s degree in Southeast Asian Studies from the School of Pacific and Asian Studies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa\, completing her studies in 2012 with the support of the Ford Foundation International Fellowship Program. From 2016 to 2023\, she pursued her PhD studies at the Leiden University Institute for Area Studies (LIAS)\, sponsored by the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education under the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia. Nor Ismah’s research focuses on Islam\, women's knowledge production\, and media. In recognition of her scholarly achievements\, Nor Ismah was awarded the Co2libri Early Career Researcher Fellowship at the Institute of Asian and African Studies\, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in 2023. She received the prestigious 2023-2024 Association of Asian Studies Gosling-Lim Postdoctoral Fellowship in Southeast Asian Studies\, which is hosted by and has brought her to the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

With roughly 300 performers and 1\,300 audience members\, GenAPA stands as the largest student-run pan-Asian cultural programs in the Midwest. Promoting cultural diversity through tradition and history remains intrinsic to the core values of GenAPA. \n\nThis year’s theme is “Eclipsed” which conveys being obscured\, overshadowed\, or surpassed by something more prevalent\, akin to the moon covering the sun during a solar eclipse. \n\nThis year’s headliner\, Tiffany Day is a Chinese American singer-songwriter. Day fits well with our theme\, Eclipsed\, as she felt obscured in the environment that she grew up in and uses her platform today to show younger generations what is possible.\n\nIn addition to our headliner\, we have several student groups performing. Our student groups include Michigan Malaysian Student Association\, Vietnamese Student Association\, Filipino American Student Association\, Qingyun Chinese Ensemble\, rXn\, Michigan Masala\, KGayo3\, Pluot\, VeryUs\, Greenwood\, UM Taekwondo Demonstration Team\, Hawai`i Club\, and Seoul Juice.\n\nPre-order tickets here: https://forms.gle/21eT2LWnBgoGAceeA\nPre-ordered tickets can be picked up at Mason Hall Posting Wall from 4/1 - 4/5\nPre-ordered tickets CANNOT be picked up at the show.\nAll sales final\, no refunds will be granted.\n\nFor questions and concerns\, please email genapacore@umich.edu.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/QqyjD\n\nAmong the rich variety of substances that flowed into Middle Period China\, aromatics (Chi. xiang) figured prominently\, including saffron from Kashmir\, camphor from Sumatra\, and frankincense from Arabia. Introduced by envoys\, monks\, and traders via both overland and maritime routes\, these fragrant materials acquired diverse virtues in Chinese medical\, religious\, and culinary culture. By focusing on the medicinal uses of these articles in Tang and Song China with attention to the role of smell in healing\, this talk reveals the dynamic process of producing new olfactory knowledge and sensorial experience upon cross-cultural exchange.\n \n Yan Liu is an associate professor in History at SUNY\, Buffalo. He specializes in the history of medicine in premodern China\, with a focus on material practices of medicine\, religious healing\, the history of the senses\, and the global circulation of knowledge. His first book\, \"Healing with Poisons: Potent Medicines in Medieval China\,\" was published by the University of Washington Press in 2021 (open access available)\, and won the 2023 William H. Welch Medal from the American Association for the History of Medicine. His second book explores a transcultural history of aromatics and the production of olfactory knowledge in Tang and Song China.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Zoom registration at http://myumi.ch/G4k3E \n\nWhile the media tends to pay the most attention to violent secessionist movements or peaceful independence movements\, it is just as important to understand why there are regions where political movements for autonomy fail to develop. In neglecting regions without political movements or full-blown independence demands\, theories may be partial at best and incorrect at worst.\n \n State Institutions\, Civic Associations\, and Identity Demands examines over a dozen regions\, comparing and contrasting successful cases to abandoned\, unsuccessful\, or dormant cases. The cases range from successful secession (East Timor\, Singapore) and ongoing secessionist movements (Southern Philippines)\, to internally divided regional movements (Kachin State)\, low-level regionalist stirrings (Lanna\, Taiwan)\, and local but not regional mobilization of identity (Bali\, Minahasan)\, all the way to failed movements (Bataks\, South Maluku) and regions that remain politically inert (East and North Malaysia\, Northeast Thailand). While each chapter is written by a country expert\, the contributions rely on a range of methods\, from comparative historical analysis\, to ethnography\, field interviews\, and data from public opinion surveys. Together\, they contribute important new knowledge on little-known cases that nevertheless illuminate the history of regions and ethnic groups in Southeast Asia. Although focused on Southeast Asia\, the book identifies the factors that can explain why movements emerge and successfully develop and concludes with a chapter by Henry Hale that illustrates how this can be applied globally.\n \n Amy H. Liu (PhD Emory University) is an Associate Professor in the Government Department and codirector of the Politics of Race and Ethnicity Lab at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research and teaching focus on the intersection of ethnic politics\, language politics\, and migration politics – often through the lens of Great China\, the Chinese language\, or the Chinese diaspora. Amy’s first book Standardizing Diversity: The Political Economy of Language Regimes (University of Pennsylvania Press 2015) examines how the recognition of lingua francas can be conducive for economic growth – in Asia generally and in Southeast Asia specifically. The second book The Language of Political Incorporation: Chinese Migrants in Europe (Temple University Press 2021) looks at the linguistic networks of Chinese migrants and the implications for engagement with local authorities in Europe. She also has coauthored a monograph (Cambridge University Press 2022 ) explaining the treatment of ethnic minorities in Southeast Asia. Amy is also currently working on a new book project examining the diversity and representation of government cabinets in Asia.\n \n Joel Sawat Selway (PhD University of Michigan) is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Brigham Young University. His research and teaching focus on ethnicity\, nationalism\, and political institutions. His first book Coalitions of the Wellbeing: How Electoral Rules and Ethnic Politics Shape Health Policy in Developing Countries (Cambridge University Press 2015) examines how the both electoral rules and a country’s ethnic diversity structure incentives for the delivery of public goods\, with a particular focus on Southeast Asia. His second book (in progress) looks at the competing identities of nationalism and regionalism in Thailand\, explaining why some ethno-regional groups have experienced separatist activity\, while others have not. Joel’s work has also appeared in journals such as World Politics\, Political Analysis\, Comparative Political Studies\, British Journal of Political Science\, and Journal of Conflict Resolution.\n \n Purchase the book via: https://press.umich.edu/Books/S/State-Institutions-Civic-Associations-and-Identity-Demands2\n Order online and save 30% with discount code UMS24!\n \n This event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required if you intend to participate virtually.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan.

Amodio and M. Morlacco). DESCRIPTION:This paper shows that self-employment shapes labor market power in low-income countries\, with implications for industrial development. Using Peruvian data\, we show that wage-setting power increases with concentration\, but less so where self-employment is more prevalent. We build a general equilibrium model of oligopsony with worker sorting between wage work and self-employment. Concentration depresses wages\, but self-employment increases workers’ sensitivity to wage changes\, curbing labor market power. Policies to create salaried jobs make self-employment less attractive\, reducing labor supply elasticity and increasing markdowns. Counterfactual analyses show that eliminating labor market power can boost industrial policy effectiveness by up to 60%.\n\n\nThis talk is presented by the International Economics Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Economics Strategic Fund.

How did he come to be there and why did he stay? This talk examines his experiences along with those of other Japanese men to answer these questions. Their stories reveal that global trade in the early modern period depended on working men who moved thousands of miles away to take advantage of commercial centers knowing they might never return to their homelands.\n \n Tatiana Seijas is Associate Professor of History at Rutgers University. She writes about global migrations\, long-distance trade\, urban economies\, and the joined history of freedom and slavery. Her latest monograph “American Metropolis: The Making of Mexico City in the Seventeenth Century” is a new history of one of the early modern world's greatest entrepôts centered on the economic lives of ordinary people.\n \n *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n \n *Image source: “Nova Mexico\, Die Nieuwe en onbekende Weereld” (Amsterdam\, 1671).

In 2019\, the group created their first original play based on testimony they had gathered from school’s mothers. *The Talent Show* tells the story of a talent show the Danwon High students had been preparing before leaving for their school trip to Jeju. In the play\, the children arrive safely on the island\, and are able to put on the show. Through the play\, the mothers are able to reconnect with their lost children and see them again in a new light.\n \n Directed by Sohyun Lee\n \n Presented in Korean with English subtitles.\n\n*The Talent Show* is being screened in remembrance of the 10th anniversary of the Sewol ferry disaster. Screened at the Michigan Theater\, the film is free and open to the public. \n\nDetails at the Michigan Theater website: https://michtheater.org/korean-cinema-now UID:116526-21837285@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/116526 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Asia LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230915T170734 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240415T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240415T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Exhibition.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024.

Kahn and Wen-Chi Liao\n \n The Trump Administration's tariffs created a wedge between mutually beneficial trades between China's producers and US consumers. Moving production to nearby Vietnam allows firms to jump the tariff wall. Locations within Vietnam differ in their proximity to China\, industrial mix\, and existing transport infrastructures such as roads\, rails\, and ports. We exploit these exogenous attributes to explore Vietnam's new emerging economic geography induced by the US/China Trade War. Using data from 2015 to 2021 on Vietnamese cities and provinces\, we conduct a Bartik shift-share analysis to study the effects of the S310 China tariffs. Locations within Vietnam closer to China gain more—a border effect—in output and new FDI\, particularly for industries producing goods the US demands. A multiplier effect benefits the local sector\, evidenced by retail sales. The border effect relates to global-value-chain restructuring and manufacturing reallocation. We study how the urban lights at night and local air pollution PM2.5 evolve as Vietnam's cities grow. We compare the lessons between Vietnam's urban growth through tacit integration with China during the US/China Trade War and Mexico's growth through joining NAFTA.\n \n Siqi Zheng’s field of specialization is urban and environmental economics and policy\, including sustainable urbanization\, sustainable real estate\, and urbanization in emerging economies. She published in many peer reviewed international journals including the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\, Nature Human Behaviour\, and the Journal of Economic Literature\, Journal of Economic Perspectives\, Journal of Economic Geography\, European Economic Review\, Journal of Urban Economics\, Regional Science and Urban Economics\, Transportation Research Part A\, Environment and Planning A\, Ecological Economics\, Journal of Regional Science\, Real Estate Economics\, Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics. A book she has co-authored with Matthew Kahn\, \"Blue Skies over Beijing: Economic Growth and the Environment in China\" (Princeton University Press) was published in 2016. Dr. Zheng has completed or been undertaking research projects granted or entrusted by the World Bank\, the MassCPR\, MITEI\, MIT Portugal\, MIT MCSC\, the Asian Development Bank\, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy\, among others. She won the MIT Frank E. Perkins Award for Excellence in Graduate Advising in 2022\; and Asian Real Estate Academic & Professional (AsREAP) Woman Achievement Award (by Asian Real Estate Society) in 2023. She received her PhD in urban development and real estate from Tsinghua University in 2005\, and did her post-doc research at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. Prior to coming to MIT\, she was a professor and the director of Hang Lung Center for Real Estate at Tsinghua University\, China.

She will be rescheduling to the Fall Term 2024 lecture series.\n\nIf you would like to attend this lecture via Zoom\, please register at https://myumi.ch/zXwJd\n\nThis lecture traces the evolution of unruly women in Chinese literature and culture\, from the reviled “shrew” to the celebrated “new woman.” Rather than meeting her demise\, the shrew persisted\, and her negative qualities became the basis for many forms of the new woman\, ranging from the early Republican suffragettes and Chinese Noras\, to the Communist and socialist radicals. This lecture focuses on the yinfu (wanton woman) and revolution from the women’s suffrage movement to Jiang Qing and the Yan’an campaign.\n\nShu Yang is an Associate Professor in the Department of World Languages and Literatures at Western Michigan University\, specializing in literary\, cultural and gender studies on modern China. She has published in leading journals including *Gender & History*\, *Nan Nü*\, *CLEAR*\, and *Modern Chinese Literature and Culture*. Her recent book *Untamed Shrews* came out under the Cornell East Asia Series by Cornell University Press (July 2023). Now Shu Yang is continuing her exploration of gender and modernity by writing on the discourse of hysteria in Republican China.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

During this time of swift cultural transformation\, Chinese artists embraced the immediacy of photography to document the changes around them as well as their own thoughts and actions as they shifted their focus away from the collective to prioritize self-expression. This program will bring together key figures in the development of experimental photography in China to look back at these decades and discuss how they came to understand photography as a conceptual art form and the impact of this understanding on their communities and artistic practices.\n\nThis program was initiated by The Triune Brain collective and is presented in partnership with the University of Michigan Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies and the Hirshhorn Museum.\n\nInterpreting provided by Eriksen Translations.

Citizen efforts in the late 1940s and early 1950s to combat the power of entrenched local political and economic bosses will be considered in light of disputes regarding seaweed harvesting rights\, opposition to the requisitioning of local land for a Self Defense Forces Shooting Range\, and the reconstruction of infrastructure following the 1953 Ise Bay Typhoon.\n \n Emer O'Dwyer is director of the East Asian Studies Program at Oberlin College and associate professor of history and East Asian studies. She specializes in 20th-century Japanese history with research interests in imperialism\, democracy\, and the post-war Allied Occupation. She is currently working on a history of “boss rule” in Japan from the wartime era through the beginning of the high-growth era in the mid-1950s.\n \n *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at wugou@umich.edu.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024.

We test this using a randomized control trial with 152 female microfinance groups in Tanzania where treated groups were randomly switched to repay their loan using mobile money instead of the usual method of cash. We find that this exogenous shift in the way that women use mobile money for loan repayment increases their use of mobile money for other transactions. Women’s control over their finances increases\, they have higher levels of empowerment in the household and expenditures shift towards goods aligned with their preferences. We see small positive effects of the shift to mobile money repayment on loan repayment behavior and social cohesion within the microfinance group. These findings highlight the benefits that encouraging greater use of digital technologies can bring to women.\nJoin us in person at ISR (Thompson Street) Room 1430.\n\nOr online: Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95418610585?pwd=Z0cvdkF1T0R2cG1lRDEvVmlnbVdlZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nPasscode: 818420\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,95418610585# US (Washington DC)\n+13092053325\,\,95418610585# US\n\nDial by your location\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 719 359 4580 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nFind your local number: https://umich.zoom.us/u/aCRAyuQaT\n\nJoin by SIP\n95418610585@zoomcrc.com\n\nJoin by H.323\n162.255.37.11 (US West)\n162.255.36.11 (US East)\n115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai)\n115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad)\n213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands)\n213.244.140.110 (Germany)\n103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney)\n103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne)\n149.137.40.110 (Singapore)\n64.211.144.160 (Brazil)\n149.137.68.253 (Mexico)\n69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto)\n65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver)\n207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo)\n149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka)\nMeeting ID: 954 1861 0585\nPasscode: 818420 UID:119925-21843827@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/119925 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Global And Transnational LOCATION:Institute For Social Research - 1430 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240223T160802 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240422T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240422T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Fulbright Info Session: Finding Affiliations DESCRIPTION:Register for this Zoom presentation at http://myumi.ch/Pknwn\n\nCome learn about the largest international exchange program for U.S. citizens\, offering funding for study\, research\, and teaching in over 140 countries.

In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works.

Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/7PPZy\n\n In four decades since the late 1970s\, China has experienced one of the most consequential economic transformations in world history. One-fifth of the Earth’s population has left behind a life of scarcity and subsistence for one of abundance and material comfort. Based on his newly published book\, Wang Feng revisits the origins\, forces\, and processes of the meteoric rise in living standards of the Chinese population\, and offers a systematic historical and sociological analysis of this unique historical juncture. Anticipating headwinds\, including an aging population\, increasing inequality\, and intensifying political control\, Wang Feng discusses why China’s age of abundance has come to an end\, and the challenges China faces in its aftermath.\n \n WANG Feng currently holds the position of professor of sociology at the University of California\, Irvine. He is a scholar with expertise in China’s social and demographic changes\, of social inequality\, and of comparative population and social history. He is the author of multiple books and many articles in professional journals\, books\, and other media outlets. His work and views have appeared frequently in major global media outlets. He has served as an expert for the United Nations\, the World Bank\, and the World Economic Forum\, among many others. His multifaceted professional service includes terms as Chair of the Department of Sociology at the University of California\, Irvine (2007-2010)\, Senior Fellow in Foreign Relations and in Global Development at the Brookings Institution\, a leading think-tank in the United States\, and the Director of the Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy in Beijing (2010-2013). He is an elected member of the Sociological Research Association\, an honor society of sociologists in the United States. He is also an elected foreign member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei (National Academy of Italy). Professor Wang Feng is a graduate of the University of Michigan\, the first from the PRC receiving a PhD degree in social sciences at U-M.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

We develop a dynamic model of a city in which workers can decide to work in the central business district (CBD) or partly at home. Working in the CBD allows them to interact with other commuters\, which enhances their productivity through a standard production externality\, but entails commuting costs. Switching between modes of labor delivery is costly\, and workers face idiosyncratic preference shocks for remote work. We characterize the parameter set in which the city exhibits multiple stationary equilibria. Within this set\, a coordination mechanism can lead to stationary equilibria in which most workers commute or most of them work partially from home. In these cases\, large shocks in the number of commuters\, like the recent lockdowns and self-isolation generated by the COVID-19 pandemic\, can result in dynamic paths that make cities converge to a stationary equilibrium with large fractions of remote workers. Using cell-phone-based mobility data for the U.S.\, we document that although most cities experienced similar reductions in CBD trips during the pandemic\, trips in the largest cities have stabilized at levels that are only about 60% of pre-pandemic levels. In contrast\, smaller cities have\, on average\, returned to pre-pandemic levels. House price panel data by city show consistent changes in house price CBD-distance gradients. We estimate the model for 270 U.S. cities and show that cities that have stabilized at a large fraction of remote work are much more likely to have parameters that result in multiple stationary equilibria. Our results imply welfare losses in these cities that average 2.7%.\n\nThis talk is presented by the International Economics Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Economics Strategic Fund.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M.

These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\n\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American\, b. 1987)\; David Newton (American\, b. 1993)\; and Nicholas Williams (American\, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him\, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \n\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor\, 204 S State St) from January 23\, to August 13\, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.\n\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women’s and Gender Studies Department.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan.

Swami Yogatmananda of Vedanta Society of Providence\, RI will be delivering a Vedanta talk on June 20\, 2024 at 6:30 PM in Room D of Michigan League. For all questions\, please contact us at vedanta.a2@gmail.com. Please see the following for all details. \n\nTitle: Let's Be Practical \nSynopsis: There is a perception that religious or spiritual life is not practical. But Religion\, especially Vedanta\, teaches highest practicality\, without diluting the ideal in the least. In our approach to religion\, we have to be immensely practical. We must learn to separate real from appearance\, important from unimportant\, helpful from harmful. There is a place for rationality and going beyond it. The lives and teachings of the great masters of Vedanta\, especially of the comparatively modern exponents like Vivekananda\, provide how the highest truths of life are to be brought into practice. Another wonderful idea to understand is that all main religions\, while they are different in externals\, they lead to the same goal.\n\nParking information:\n\n1) Metered street parking is available on Thayer\, Washington and other streets surrounding Michigan league.\n\n2) A public parking garage is available on Maynard street which is 7 minutes walk from Michigan League. Street address is 324 Maynard St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48105.\n\nKindly note that due to the ongoing Ann Arbor summer festival in this period (June 14-30th)\, the parking spots will get filled quickly. Therefore\, kindly plan ahead to avoid any parking hassle.\n\nAbout the speaker (Swami Yogatmananda): \nSwami Yogatmananda is a senior monk of the Ramakrishna Order. He joined the Order in 1976 and received his monastic vows in 1986. He has served in various capacities in different parts of India. He served at the Ramakrishna Math at Nagpur\, India for 20 years. After this\, he was posted as the Head of Ramakrishna Mission in Shillong\, Meghalaya\, India. He then came to the United States in the Summer of 2001 and since then has been serving as the Minister of the Vedanta Society of Providence. Swami Yogatmananda is routinely invited to speak at local colleges and serves as a chaplain at both Brown University and the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth.

Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States\,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \n\nUsing autoethnography\, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Marília\,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead\,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas\, gender states\, and his life experience—a story of the struggles\, fears\, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm\,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto’s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he\, a queer immigrant\, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials\, images\, and texts from \"Marília\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto’s gender states\, gender confusion\, gender embodiments\, gender doubt\, and reactions to gender stigma. \n\nRogério M. Pinto (Brazilian\, American\, b. 1965\, Belo Horizonte\, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor\; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work\; and Professor of Theatre and Drama\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\, at the University of Michigan.
