SUMMARY:Presentation:Building the Gacaca digital archive
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAfter the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda\, more than 130\,000 inmates were imprisoned and accused of genocide crimes. The country was operating through fire and blood! The judicial system was destroyed – judges and lawyers had been killed or exiled in neighboring countries. To judge the genocidaires\, the government decided to reintroduce the Traditional Jurisdictions Courts called Gacaca. This talk will emphasize what Gacaca did as a court and how it worked during the trials\; the digitization process of the 45 million pages of Gacaca files\; and the impact of the Gacaca files on society after the digitization.\n\nSponsored by the University of Michigan School of Information Data\, Archives\, and Information Seminar\; African Studies Center\; Museum Studies Program\; Ethics\, Society and Computing\; and Franklin Innovator Residency Fund.\n\nSpeaker bio:\nWith a PhD in education from the University of Geneva\, I have substantial experience working with the United Nations\, international non-governmental organizations\, non-profit organizations\, and governments on projects related to equitable and sustainable education curricula. As the Director General of the Research and Documentation Center on Genocide at the Rwanda National Commission for the Fight against Genocide (CNLG)\, I managed and led research projects as well as designed\, implemented\, monitored\, and assessed projects related to the Genocide against the Tutsi. Key projects included the digitization of forty-five million pages and four thousand audio-visual materials from Rwanda’s Gacaca Courts\, the preservation of textiles at the Nyamata genocide memorial site\, the preservation of bodies at the Murambi genocide memorial site\, and the preservation of artifacts in six other national genocide memorial sites in Rwanda. Between 2013 and 2015\, I also participated in a team responsible for designing Rwanda’s new national education curriculum for history and civic education. I am currently a Consultant with the International Labour Organization (ILO) for their Accelerator Lab 8.7 Program\, which provides funding and support to international organizations with innovative solutions to tackle child labor\, forced labor\, and human trafficking.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Placeless Identity\, Transgenerational Trauma:  A Reading and Conversation with Marina Frenk
DESCRIPTION:As part of the German Studies Colloquium\, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures invites you to join us for a virtual reading and discussion with author Marina Frenk:\n\nPlaceless Identity\, Transgenerational Trauma: \nA Reading and Conversation with Marina Frenk\n\nMarina Frenk will read from her debut novel ewig her und gar nicht wahr (Berlin 2020). She will be introduced by Ph.D. candidate Lauren Beck\, one of Frenk's translators\, who organized this event and will lead the discussion.  \n\nAt the age six\, Kira\, the protagonist of ewig her und gar nicht wahr\, had migrated from Moldova to Germany with her Jewish Russian family. Now in her thirties\, Kira lives in Berlin\, and yet she does not seem to have truly arrived in Germany or even the present. Violent hallucinations interrupt her otherwise secure life as a mother and teacher. In fragmented scenes of personal and family memory\, Kira contextualizes her failing grasp on reality through a tangled web of family traumas and their historical contexts.\n\nFrenk’s autofictional novel asks: what remains of identity after multiple generations of uprootedness? How does one engage with an unknown generational trauma? Is it possible to live outside of national or even familial systems?\n\nIn addition to writing\, Frenk performs as a musician and actress at the Gorki Theater in Berlin\, and she will share some of her musical work as well. \n\nThe event organizers invite attendees to participate in English and in German. The readings will be held in German.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social Research with Unstructured Data: Connection Series
DESCRIPTION:Social science increasingly uses data that requires advanced tools and algorithms. Preparing text\, audio\, and video data for analysis and running those analyses involves linking contemporary computational tools with datasets and major research challenges in ways that cut across disciplines. Building bridges between data scientists who develop the tools to analyze these data and social scientists who have datasets to address research questions in unprecedented ways that could benefit from them is critical for both opening the world of these new data and refining the tools for analysis.\n \nThe Social Research with Unstructured Data: Connection Series\, jointly sponsored by MIDAS\, the AI Lab and ISR\, is designed to build connections between social scientists and data scientists to improve scholarship in both arenas. Scholars in both groups present research vision and cutting-edge methodology that could benefit from additional interdisciplinary collaboration and theorizing. The series connects faculty\, research scientists\, postdoctoral\, and graduate students to help build major research projects from their vision\, find the right methods for their data\, identify collaborators\, or find scholars who can help trial run the tools they have developed. \n \nEvents will be held from 2:00-3:30 PM in ISR 6050 (426 Thompson Street)\, with meetings in January\, February\, March\, April\, and May. Refreshments provided. We encourage you to sign up ahead of time: https://myumi.ch/7eZWG  For more information\, or if you are interested in presenting work in progress at this series\, please contact Beth Uberseder (ubersbe@umich.edu).\n \nSpeakers TBA.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Building the Future: A Distinguished Lecture Series for Academics and Professionals
DESCRIPTION:A confluence of opportunities and national and international grand challenges are influencing current directions in the design of urban regions as populations expand. This presentation will summarize new developments to create resilient and sustainable cities through research on the built environment across several themes. Research on resilience highlights the development of structural systems that are able to be returned to use quickly after extreme events. Sustainable engineering\, in turn\, highlights research on strategies for developing new structural systems that greatly decrease the amount of energy\, material waste\, pollution\, and greenhouse gas emissions in construction and use of buildings and other structures. Urban engineering summarizes approaches for conducting regional simulations to predict the impacts and opportunities across urban regions that are designed with more sustainable and resilient civil engineering solutions. By directly addressing resilience and sustainability in structural design and regional assessment\, this work offers insights into how engineering innovations can be used to create a new generation of solutions for urban regions.  \n\nA panel discussion will follow the lecture.  Our distinguished panelists include:  Lawrence F. Kruth\, Kruth Engineering\, LLC\, Former Vice President of Engineering & Research at AISC\; Jason McCormick\, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering\, University of Michigan\; and Tabitha Stine\, General Manager of Construction Solutions Services at Nucor Corporation.
