SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:[Rackham] Anti-Racism in an Abroad Context
DESCRIPTION:Structural racism in the United States is the normalization and legitimization of an array of dynamics—historical\, cultural\, institutional\, and interpersonal—that routinely advantage whites while producing cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color. It is a system of hierarchy and inequity\, primarily characterized by white supremacy—the preferential treatment\, privilege\, and power for white people at the expense of other racially oppressed people. It is also important to recognize that racism is a global issue and continues to be perpetuated in societies across the globe and it manifests in many different ways at various levels. This anti-racism workshop in an abroad context aims to offer an entryway for students to engage in observing how racism plays out in different societies outside the United States\, utilizing examples\, particularly media representation\, that may reflect deeper messages\, and what it means to be anti-racist in the abroad context for American students who have been abroad\, or may be visiting\, studying\, or traveling abroad.\nThis workshop will engage participants in the following activities:\nBetter understanding of the term “anti-racism”\nLearning about race and its nuances\nRecognizing how culture can shape how racism and power structures develop\nSeeing how media around the world uphold oppression in different waysCreating action steps toward actively recognizing oppression abroadThis workshop is designed for University of Michigan master's students\, doctoral students\, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff\, please contact  rackhampdeworkshops@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Symposium: Quarrying History and the Art of Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will be structured as a conversation between Paul Farber\, co-founder of the renowned nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab\, and Ozi Uduma\, assistant curator of global contemporary art at the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, with Elizabeth James\, program associate in Afroamerican and African Studies\, as moderator. They will discuss aspects of their new collaborative project examining the role of historic structures at the University of Michigan\, particularly UMMA’s Alumni Memorial Hall\, in upholding social and cultural systems and narratives and how these histories might be challenged and made more complex. As Uduma explains\, “It’s our duty as a free\, public museum to tell more complex and more honest stories about the choices made by artists or by builders or by university administrations because those choices often have direct impacts on our communities. To move forward\, we must unpack this past.\"\n\nPanelists:\n\n• Paul M. Farber (Artistic Director and Co-Founder\, Mountment Lab)\n• Ozi Uduma (Assistant Curator of Global Contemporary Art\, University of Michigan Museum of Art)\n• Elizabeth James (moderator\; Program Associate\, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, University of Michigan)\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:How to build a city in the steppes: The transient phenomenon of urbanism on the Mongolian Plateau during the Mongol World Empire
DESCRIPTION:The study of urbanism in the Mongolian steppes sounds like a paradox\, since the image of the marauding nomad living in tents still prevails. And yet Mongolia\, with well over 200 abandoned settlement sites with permanent architecture\, residences\, fortifications and ramparts\, as well as hundreds of Buddhist monasteries\, offers enormous potential for the study of cities and settlement networks. The ancient sites of this region survived relatively unscathed by modern urbanization and farming activities and form an untapped source of information and an incredibly rich archive for the study of urbanism in the steppes. Astonishingly\, international scholarship has afforded little attention to them. This talk will focus on the only two cities from the time of the Mongol Empire (13th and 14th century CE) on the Mongolian plateau: Karakorum\, the capital in the Orkhon Valley\, and Khar Khul Khaany Balgas\, a city with a similar layout in the Khanui Valley. A closer look into systems of craft production and acquisition of a working force will reveal how the Mongol Khans were able to build these cities within a relatively short span of time and within a region without a continued history of urbanism.
