Workshop / Seminar:"Disability in Higher Education"
2022-11-17 12:00 - 13:00 | Off Campus Location
You're invited to this special virtual seminar that will highlight the plight of those with disabilities in higher education and discuss what may be done to develop different disability imaginary of the future. Register at https://bit.ly/3S8gFiQ

Abstract
From statistics we know that disclosure rates amongst postgraduate research students in higher education are much lower than in the general population or amongst undergraduate students, and that academic staff are even less likely to disclose needs. However, there is no evidence that invisible disabilities are less prevalent in higher education.

In this presentation, Nicole will draw on her extensive research to highlight the plight of those with disabilities, chronic illnesses and/or neurodivergences in higher education. She will commence with an introduction to the definitional difficulties of "disability" as a term, before exploring some of the issues individuals encounter. She will then present her concept of looking at disclosure as a cost-benefit analysis to gradually ease delegates into what may be done to develop a somewhat different disability imaginary of the future.

Ashley Soto (‘20) has been a change agent since she stepped foot on campus.

National Neophyte of the Year award and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Spirit Award for her work supporting her communities.

She is returning to LSA to share her experiences and how she leveraged her LSA degrees to create change in her community.

Lecture / Discussion:CJS Thursday Lecture Series | *Kaze to tomo ni sarinu* as *jidai shōsetsu*: The 1938 Japanese Translation of *Gone With the Wind*
2022-11-17 12:00 - 13:30 | Weiser Hall - Room 1010
Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 1010 Weiser Hall and virtually via 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. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/7eGgQ

My talk examines the second most popular Japanese publication of the twentieth century, Ōkubo Yasuo's translation of *Gone With the Wind*. I argue that the translation itself and its initial publicity campaign tapped into popular representations of the Meiji Restoration, particularly portraits of the infamous Shinsengumi. This association subtly links Margaret Mitchell's romanticized depiction of the Confederate rebellion with fascistic calls for a Shōwa Restoration in the 1930s.

U-M alumnus Jim Reichert is an associate professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Stanford University. His area of specialization is modern Japanese literature. He has written on representations of male-male sexuality in Meiji-era literature, silent Japanese film, 19th-century illustrated books, newspaper novels, and the role of fetishism in the writing of Tanizaki Jun’ichirō. He is currently finishing up a manuscript on prewar Japanese period fiction.

This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
