SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Queer World Conversations
DESCRIPTION:See other Spectrum Center events: https://bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events\n\nWe'd like to invite you to a new event series this semester\, the Queer World Conversations! These will be weekly discussions on a variety of topics\, but all of them will be discussed with a queer lens. We'll bring the topic\, you bring the discussion! Everyone is welcome to join the Conversations\, and the voices of those most impacted by the week's topic will be prioritized.\n\nTopics will be announced the week before on our social medias and on the event pages. Registration is not required\, nor is consistent attendance. Come when you want\, bring your friends\, and let's have a Conversation!\n\nUpcoming topics:\n4/12/23 - Weight Inclusivity\n\nThere are a lot of social ideas of what someone's body \"should\" look like\, especially when it comes to weight. Body positivity is more visible than ever\, but so is fatphobia. With the help of our friends of the School of Public Health's Weight Inclusive Initiative\, we'll dive into the ways that queer bodies and queer cultures interact with and complicate the already complex ideas we have around one's weight. Are queer people held to a higher standard than non-queer folks? Do we hold each other to higher standards within our own community? Are there any major connections between fatphobia and gender dysphoria?\n\nSpectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:\nThe Spectrum Center is dedicated to working towards offering equitable access to all of the events we organize. If you have an accessibility need you feel may not be automatically met at this event\, there is space to report that in the registration\, or you can fill out our Event Accessibility Form\, found at http://bit.ly/SCaccess.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Select Works By James Charles  Morris
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition by James Charles Morris will be at Palmer Commons\, 4th Floor Atrium\, February 13 - March 10. \n\nAbout the Artist:\nJames Charles Morris (b. 1984)\, is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist\, who has engaged in the creative visual media  practices of photography\, collage\, painting\, and printmaking for 20 years. Morris has used his work to engage in various  social conversations addressing themes of race\, spirituality\, history\, mental wellness and community. As a native  Detroiter\, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown\, which is evident in his work. \n\nMorris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age\, as he took found objects from around his home and  created new works. However\, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother\, Dell Pryor\, a  gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades\, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those  names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans\, Hugh Grannum\, Lester Sloan\, Al Loving\,  Gilda Snowden\, Shirley Woodson\, Anthony Barboza\, and Eric Pryor among others. \n\nIn 2008\, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit)\, a brand that uses an array of visual statements and  designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society. \n\nIn 2019\, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage\, photo montage\, and abstract expressionism.  This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works\, that have engaged many within the  artistic community.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CREES Noon Lecture. Unpacking \"Traditional Values\" in Russia’s Conservative Turn: Gender\, Sexuality\, and the Soviet Legacy
DESCRIPTION:In the decade before Russia’s most recent invasion of Ukraine\, scholars have been marking a conservative turn in Russian policy and practice through the lens of gender and sexuality. In a recent project\, Valerie Sperling\, Alexandra Novitskaya\, Janet Elise Johnson\, and Lisa Sundstrom examined these dynamics in two decades of Putin’s annual speeches to domestic audiences\, and in Russian public opinion data\, finding differing degrees of sexism and LGBTQ-phobia among Russia’s state leader and the public. While there has been a somewhat conservative trend in what Putin says regarding women’s rights\, there has been a far more conservative one on LGBTQ+ issues. We find that Putin’s speeches and public opinion on these topics echo Soviet approaches\, suggesting that the conservative “turn” amounts more to a “return” than to a novel development under Putin. However\, examining this data also shows that Putin’s shift toward conservatism\, most noticeable starting in 2021—and especially on LGBTQ+ issues—can inform our understanding of his decision to launch a full-scale war against Ukraine.\n   \nValerie Sperling is professor of political science at Clark University in Worcester\, Massachusetts. Her research interests lie mainly at the intersection of Russian politics and gender studies. She is the author of *Organizing Women in Contemporary Russia* (2000)\; *Altered States: The Globalization of Accountability* (2009)\; and the award-winning *Sex\, Politics\, and Putin: Political Legitimacy in Russia* (2015). She and Lisa McIntosh Sundstrom (with Melike Sayoglu) are co-authors of *Courting Gender Justice: Russia\, Turkey\, and the European Court of Human Rights* (2019). Her most recent book\, co-authored with her Clark colleague\, Robert Boatright\, is *Trumping Politics as Usual: Masculinity\, Misogyny\, and the 2016 Elections* (2020). In recent years she has published articles in *East European Politics and Societies\, Post-Soviet Affairs\,* and *International Journal of Human Rights*.\n\nThis lecture will be presented in person in 555 Weiser Hall and on Zoom. Webinar registration required at http://myumi.ch/n85Zx\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | Migrant Conversions: Money\, Religion\, and Global Projects of Peruvians in South Korea
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This session is planned to be held both in-person and virtually EST through Zoom. This webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Once you've registered\, the joining information will be sent to your email.\n   \n   Register at: https://myumi.ch/rq4en\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures.\n   \n   Peruvian migrant workers began arriving in South Korea in large numbers in the mid-1990s\, eventually becoming one of the largest groups of non-Asians in the country. Migrant Conversions shows how despite facing unstable income and legal exclusion\, migrants have come to see Korea as an ideal destination\, sometimes even as part of their divine destiny. Faced with a forced end to their residence in Korea\, Peruvians have developed strategies to transform themselves from economic migrants into heads of successful transnational families\, influential church leaders\, and cosmopolitan travelers. Set against the backdrop of the 2008 global financial crisis\, Migrant Conversions explores the intersections of three types of conversions—monetary\, religious\, and cosmopolitan—to argue that migrants use conversions to negotiate the meaning of their lives in a constantly changing transnational context. As Peruvians carve out social spaces\, they create complex and uneven connections between Peru and Korea that challenge a global hierarchy of nations and migrants. Exploring how migrants\, churches\, and nations change through processes of conversion reveals how globalization continues to impact people’s lives and ideas about their futures and pasts long after they have stopped moving or after a particular global moment has come to an end.\n   \n   Erica Vogel is Professor of Anthropology at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo\, California. She is a cultural anthropologist who conducts fieldwork primarily in South Korea\, Peru\, and Mexico looking at issues of globalization\, migration\, religious conversion\, and transnational flows between Asia and Latin America. Her book Migrant Conversions: Transforming Connections Between Peru and South Korea was published by the UC Press in 2020 and is based on 24 months of fieldwork in Peru and South Korea with migrants and their families\, their religious leaders\, and government officials. Her current research project is funded by a grant from Mellon/ACLS and is called “K-Pop in Mexico: Creating and Consuming Globalization through La Ola Coreana.” She received her PhD in anthropology from the University of California\, Irvine and held a Korea Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign.\n   \n   Links:\n   \n   2020 Migrant Conversions: Transforming Connections Between Peru and South Korea.
