Lopez\, Clinical Associate Professor\, University of Michigan School of Public Health\nFriday\, October 17\, noon ET\nSSW ECC 1840\n\nIn this talk\, William D. Lopez will discuss his latest book\, \"Raiding the Heartland: An American Story of Deportation and Resistance\,\" and the research behind it. The book chronicles the devastating impacts of immigration raids—and the enduring resistance of immigrant communities in the aftermath.\n\nAcross the United States\, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) upends small towns and rural communities by staging dramatic raids and rounding up hundreds of people in a single day. These worksite raids fracture families\, devastate local economies\, and spread fear and trauma that lingers for years. Yet in the wake of these devastating raids\, immigrant communities exhibit resistance\, resilience\, creativity\, and an extraordinary determination to rebuild.\n\nIn this powerful follow-up to his best-seller \"Separated: Family and Community in the Aftermath of an Immigration Raid\,\" Lopez brings us into the heart of communities targeted by large-scale ICE enforcement under the Trump administration. These are places where immigrant workers\, many of whom have lived in the United States for decades\, are suddenly torn from their families and livelihoods. Based on extensive fieldwork\, this book highlights the voices of those who have endured these raids: the teachers left to comfort traumatized children\, the faith leaders who opened their doors to families in crisis\, the organizers who mobilized relief efforts overnight\, and the workers and their families who fought for their right to remain.\n\nAs raids continue to increase across the country\, this book is an urgent and deeply human portrait of what these raids leave behind—and the fierce\, often unexpected ways communities come together across class\, race\, and immigration status in their aftermath.\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).

DESCRIPTION:Progress toward gender equality in the U.S. labor market is often described as a \"stalled revolution\,\" with rapid progress in the 1980s and 1990s followed by slower change thereafter. This characterization emerges from period-based analyses. We introduce a new approach to studying occupational sex segregation\, distinguishing cohort and life-cycle changes in men’s\, women’s\, and labor-market patterns. We find that few cohorts of women stalled in entering male-dominated occupations relative to their predecessors\, and indeed the youngest cohorts show faster integration. Men’s cohort change is slower but still substantial. The combined effect is a monotonic inter-cohort decline in occupational segregation\, as measured by the index of dissimilarity. Over the life cycle\, women’s likelihood of entering male-dominated occupations increases steadily\, while men’s follows an inverted U-pattern. Cohort and life-cycle patterns vary by parental status and education. Our findings caution against a broad “stalled revolution” narrative and highlight the need for gender inequality theories to attend to the different “clocks” underpinning social change.

The conversation will explore the complex and challenging experiences faced by farmworkers today\, as well as their heightened precarity due to the policies of the current administration\, through the lens of academic research\, public health\, visual storytelling\, and legal advocacy.\n\nMeet the Participants:\n\nNarsiso Martinez (b. 1977\, Oaxaca\, Mexico) came to the United States when he was 20 years old. He attended Evans Community Adult School and completed high school in 2006 at the age of 29. He earned an Associate of Arts degree in 2009 from Los Angeles City College. In the fall of 2012 Narsiso earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from California State University Long Beach. In the spring of 2018 he received a Master of Fine Arts degree in drawing and painting from California State University Long Beach\, and was awarded the prestigious Dedalus Foundation MFA Fellowship in Painting and Sculpture. His work has been exhibited both locally and internationally. His work is in the collections of the Hammer Museum\, OCMA\, Amon Carter Museum of American Art\, University of Arizona Museum of Art\, Long Beach Museum of Art\, Crocker Art Museum\, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon\, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Martinez lives and works in Long Beach\, CA.\n\nDr. Iglesias-Rios’s research interests are the intersection of environmental and occupational health with precarious employment and labor exploitation in vulnerable populations. Her previous research assessed the impact of labor trafficking by studying how patterns of violence and coercion affect the mental health of female and male trafficking survivors including children\, adolescents and adults. She also sought to understand how the living and working conditions during trafficking affect the mental health of survivors. Dr. Iglesias-Rios is the Co-Investigator of the Michigan Farmworker Project\, a community-based participatory project that assess the working and living conditions of migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the state of Michigan. The focus of the research is to investigate indicators of precarious employment and labor exploitation that involve psychosocial\, occupational and environmental exposures and complex contextual conditions (social\, economic and physical milieu) of farmworkers.\n\nAmanda Krugliak is a curator and artist known for performative\, conceptual\, and experiential installations\, in charge of programming for the Institute for the Humanities Gallery since 2009. In 2012\, she co-created the internationally recognized installation *State of Exception *with artist Richard Barnes and U-M anthropologist Jason De León based upon De León’s Undocumented Migration Project. She is frequently a guest lecturer and leads workshops on curating scholarship and the gallery as a social justice practice.

Moving away from the eugenic principles that dominated the first part of this period\, policy increasingly treated disability as something to be accommodated rather than eliminated\, and disabled people as folks who should be supported to live full lives in the community. \n\nBut recent events -- punitive responses to mental illness and homelessness at the state and federal levels\, the dramatic retrenchment of Medicaid and other support programs during the past few months\, and others -- threaten to return us to the world of the Eugenics Era and the English Poor Laws before that\, in which disability is treated as a drain on society and those with disabilities are to be highly regulated. \n\nThis lecture will elaborate on these points.\n\nSince 2018\, Hal and Carol Kohn and the Kohn Charitable Trust have committed a total of $17 million to the Ford School to establish the Kohn Collaborative for Social Policy\, a hub that will catalyze interdisciplinary research and policy impact to promote social equity and inclusion for all U.S. residents. The collaborative consists of three pillars: Kohn Professors\, Kohn Scholars\, and policy impact. The Arlene Susan Kohn Professor of Social Policy is one of five Kohn professorships\, specifically to support research that contributes to policies advancing the rights of disabled individuals in the United States. It was named in honor of Hal’s twin sister\, born with Down syndrome\, who passed away in 2016.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nSamuel Bagenstos is the Arlene Susan Kohn Professor of Social Policy. at the Gerald R.

There\, he helped promulgate the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations—the first comprehensive update of those regulations since they were first issued in 1991—and led the reinvigoration of the Civil Rights Division’s enforcement of the US Supreme Court’s decision in Olmstead v. L.C.\, which guarantees people with disabilities the right to live and receive services in the most integrated setting appropriate. He led the negotiations of significant Olmstead settlements with the states of Delaware and Georgia\, which guarantee appropriate\, community-based services to thousands of people with disabilities. He also personally argued major cases in federal district courts and courts of appeals.\n\nAs an academic\, Bagenstos has published articles in journals such as the Yale Law Journal\, the Stanford Law Review\, the Columbia Law Review\, the California Law Review\, the Virginia Law Review\, the Cornell Law Review\, the Georgetown Law Journal\, and many others.

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.

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.

Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz.

She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.
