SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:15th Annual International Graduate Student Workshop in Armenian Studies.    Armenians Apart: Connections\, Disconnections\, and Tensions in Premodern and Modern Diasporas
DESCRIPTION:Center for Armenian Studies\, University of Michigan\nApril 10-11\, 2026\n\nWebinar ID\n969 6198 7579\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/96961987579\n\nDiaspora studies tend to emphasize a set of loosely shared commonalities across space and time. This international graduate student workshop leans the other direction\, and instead asks: what can aspects of life that are not easily shared across a broader space teach us about the formation and maintenance of “diasporas\,” premodern or modern? \n\nCollectively\, this workshop seeks to explore tensions and overlooked connections across the Armenian diaspora\, as well as to envision fresh possibilities for writing local history against a broader geographic\, cultural\, or historical backdrop. How might medieval and modern diasporic peoples envision belonging (or not belonging) to something larger from the vantage point of local history? How does being local shape conceptions of other peoples\, including one’s own people\, in other places? What overlooked networks of connection also run through diasporas\, linking Armenians to something else\, such as other peoples\, empires\, trade routes\, linguistic communities\, or cross-cultural forms of art? \n\nIn short: what might being apart\, in whatever sense\, do? And where does apartness end\, and togetherness begin again? \n\nIn asking these questions\, Armenians Apart seeks to consider the linkages\, possibilities\, and drawbacks in thinking about “diaspora” as a cohort\, bringing the modern globe and the premodern world\, defined by connections that do not always translate to our contemporary moment\, into productive dialogue. Although this conference is centered in Armenian Studies\, it draws together cognate fields and case studies\, particularly those that raise fresh questions or propose theoretical interventions that resonate with the themes of the workshop.\n\nDAY ONE:\nWeiser Hall 555\n\n8:20: INTRODUCTIONS and Welcome: Kathryn Babayan\, Armen Abkarian\, Michael Pifer \n\n8:30-10:00: Panel 1: Misaligned Diasporas & Uneven Categories of Belonging\n∙ Arakel Minassian: Uneven Histories: Zaven Biberian at the Center of 20th Century Armenian Literary History\n∙ Lusine Tanajyan: Fragility of Armenian Belonging in Encounters between “Old” and “New” Diasporas: The Case of Armenians of Greece\n∙ Haley Zovickian: ‘We're Not Like Them’: Race\, Ottoman Legacies\, and Armenian Americans\nChair and Respondent: Anoush Suni\, University of Michigan\n\n10:00-10:10: Break\n\n10:10-11:45: KEYNOTE: Professor Devi Mays: “Diasporization and the Shaping of the Modern Sephardi World” \nAbstract: Diaspora is\, in the formulation of historian Matthias Lehmann\, “something that happens rather than something that is.” This talk explores the ways in which Ottoman and post-Ottoman Sephardi Jewish migrants maintained a transnational diaspora through networks of exchange\, communication\, and movement\, even in the face of increasingly restrictive migration and documentary regimes in the wake of World War I. By paying attention to the level of individuals-- who married whom\, conducted business with whom\, contracted business with\, and sued whom-- I explore how Sephardi Jews operated within a series of overlapping diasporas that intersected at key moments with others of Ottoman or Jewish backgrounds and diverged at others. These migrants often drew on similar tactics to sustain diasporic networks-- hypermobility\, multilinguality\, transnational connections\, strong familial ties\, patronage networks\, and engagement with extralegal practices. This allows us to see in sharp relief the active forging of a twentieth-century Sephardi diaspora\, similar in broad strokes to other Ottoman diasporic communities\, but whose details emphasize the resourcefulness of migrants who quickly learned how their specificities of religion\, language\, or citizenship could become a pretext for inclusion or exclusion.\n\n12:00-1:30: LUNCH\n\n1:30-3:00: Panel 2: Boundaries of Rule\, Script\, and Desire: Reimagining the Premodern Armenian Diaspora\n∙ Armen Abkarian: Between Knights and Nakharars: Armenian Kingship and Mobility in Medieval Cilicia\n∙ Greta Gasparyan: Artistic Transformations and Diasporic Identity in the Manuscript Tradition of New Julfa\n∙ Nicholas Crummey: “If Only he Wasn’t Armenian!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Living with Treaties Conference
DESCRIPTION:In-person and virtual registration: http://myumi.ch/61n9J\n\nJoin us April 9-11\, 2026\, for Living with Treaties: The 1817 Project\, the University of Michigan\, and the Western Expansion of the United States. This hybrid conference will explore the role of treaties in the development of both the University of Michigan and the state of Michigan\, while considering how their effects continue to resonate locally\, regionally\, and nationally today for an Indigenous present and future.\n\nThe conference will bring together members of Anishinaabe Tribal communities\; U-M faculty\, staff\, and students\; K-12 educators\; scholars\; tribal historians\; and community activists for roundtable discussions\, panels\, and workshops that aim to inform and connect with non-specialist audiences.\n\nConference sessions will focus on key themes that include the role of treaties in the founding and development of the University of Michigan\, such as the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs\; the ongoing impact of 19th-century treaty agreements on tribal communities in the region\; and the ways in which these treaties continue to shape contemporary Native activism and legal efforts. Discussions will also explore the broader histories of colonization and Indigenous dispossession across what is now the state of Michigan and the Midwest region of the U.S\, with an eye to how local and regional histories provide valuable insights into broader national patterns.\n\nThe conference is free and open to all\, and will be livestreamed and recorded. Registration is encouraged but not required. We will send out reminder emails and event updates when you register.\n\nThe Living with Treaties: The 1817 Project\, the University of Michigan\, and the Western Expansion of the United States Conference is part of The 1817 Project: Land\, Culture\, Memory\, and Repair\, one of the major research initiatives of the University of Michigan’s Inclusive History Project. Led by Eric Hemenway\, Bethany Hughes\, and Michael Witgen\, The 1817 Project is a multi-disciplinary examination of the foundational land transfer by the Ojibwe\, Odawa\, and Boodewaadamii nations in the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs (also known as the Treaty of the Maumee Rapids)\, which was part of the University of Michigan’s 1817 origins in Detroit and subsequent relocation to Ann Arbor\, as well the university’s ongoing connections to Indigenous land and contemporary issues of Native American student experience. Learn more about The 1817 Project at https://inclusivehistory.umich.edu/project-site/the-1817-project/.\n\nThe Living with Treaties: The 1817 Project\, the University of Michigan\, and the Western Expansion of the United States Conference is presented by the Inclusive History Project in partnership with the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies (EIHS) and with the support of the Bentley Historical Library\, Clements Library\, the Department of American Culture\, the Department of History\, the Marsal Family School of Education\, the Native American Student Association\, the Native American Studies Program\, Rackham Graduate School\, Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).\n\nFor questions or more information\, contact inclusivehistory@umich.edu.\n\n--\n\nSchedule & Panel Descriptions\n\nDay 1\nThursday\, April 9\, 2026\, Pendleton Room\, Michigan Union\n\nWelcome & Keynote Roundtable\n5:30pm – 8:30pm\n\nWhat Does it Mean to Live with Treaties? A Roundtable on Indigenous History\n\nThis keynote roundtable will bring together several renowned Indigenous scholars with expertise in Indigenous and U.S. history\, as well as in tribal\, federal\, and constitutional law. Together\, they will reflect on the past\, present\, and future of Indigenous History\, including the fundamental issue of treaties and their downstream effects into the present. A central theme of this session is: where did Indigenous history start from\, where is it going\, and what challenges and obstacles remain within the field? The panel will also consider the more specific question of treaties\, land\, and dispossession within a broader\, comparative framework that builds upon recent studies of “land grab” politics across U.S. history as a whole. Additionally\, the speakers will reflect on a second theme central to their scholarship: that U.S. history cannot be understood without recognizing the central role of Indigenous histories and experiences.\n\n5:30 – 6:30pm: Reception with light fare with the panelists.\n6:30 – 7:00pm: Conference Opening with Emcee Bethany Hughes and Welcome Song shared by Stick City\, U-M’s Native American Student Association’s Drum Group.\n7:00 – 8:30pm: Opening Remarks by U-M President Grasso and former EIHS Director John Carson followed by the keynote roundtable\, and public Q&A.\n\nAll events are open to the public. This roundtable is made possible through the partnership of the IHP-1817 Project and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, who are co-sponsoring this event as part of their annual lecture series.\n\nSpeakers: Maggie Blackhawk\, Ned Blackhawk\, Matthew Fletcher\, Michael Witgen\n\nModerator: Greg Dowd\n\n--\nDay 2\nFriday\, April 10\, 2026\, Kuenzel Room\, Michigan Union\n\nDay 2 Welcome & Session 1\n9:15am – 11:00am\n\nWhy Study Michigan Now? Situating the University of Michigan and the Great Lakes Region in the Broader Histories of Native American Dispossession\, Removal\, “Land Grab” Politics\, and U.S. Higher Education\n\nThis panel takes as a starting point the founding moment represented by the land transfer to U-M in Article 16 of the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs\, but widens the scope of inquiry to include subsequent treaties and land transfer schemes that facilitated the development of the University and the state of Michigan. This panel will present the “receipts\,” to visually represent the transfer of wealth from Native people to the citizens of the state of Michigan.\n\nThis panel will demonstrate that the histories of U-M\, the state of Michigan\, and the broader Great Lakes region are crucial contexts for understanding the broader histories of dispossession\, removal\, land grab politics\, and the development of American higher education. Discussion of the 1817 Project\, including an explanation of its origins and a showcase of its ongoing work\, will illustrate how the project is addressing fundamental questions of U.S. history.\n\nSpeakers: Jay Cook\, Michael Witgen\, Jonathan Quint\, Gabrielle Ione Hickmon\n\n--\nDay 2 Session 2\n11:15am – 12:30pm\n\nUniversities and Indigenous Dispossession\n\nThis panel will explore the deep links between colonization\, Indigenous dispossession\, and the growth of colleges and universities in the United States. While the 1862 Morrill Land Grant College Act is often cited as a pivotal moment in the history of American higher education\, centering the narrative on the mid-nineteenth century risks obscuring the broader role that Indigenous land played in underwriting American colleges and universities. Long before the Morrill Act\, institutions such as the University of Michigan relied on land appropriated through treaties to finance operations\, expand campuses\, and diversify educational opportunities for students. At the same time\, public domain land was being used for internal improvements\, with universities serving as part of this larger project of development. The Morrill Act extended and formalized these practices\, redistributing millions of acres of Indigenous land to fund the expansion of higher education across the United States. By bringing the pre- and post-Morrill Act eras into conversation\, this panel will show how Indigenous land has remained a foundational resource for American higher education from its beginnings through the present.\n\nSpeakers: Mary Shi\, Jon Parmenter\, Alyssa Mt. Pleasant\n\nChair: Ned Blackhawk\n\n--\nDay 2 Session 3\n1:30pm – 2:45pm\n\nHow to Read A Treaty: Legal Battles and the Continuing Impact of U.S.-Anishinaabeg Treaties\n\nThis panel will demonstrate how important Michigan-area treaties such as the 1836 Washington Treaty and 1855 Treaty of Detroit continue to shape the lives of the Anishinaabe people of the state\, and how their meaning and enforcement remain subjects of legal challenges and political activism. To show the continuing impact of treaties\, and the ways in which they serve as foundational documents of Anishinaabeg-U.S. political and legal relations\, our speakers will draw from their experience as legal scholars\, jurists\, litigators\, and expert witnesses. Collectively\, they will discuss cases such as Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa v. Whitmer\, which considered whether the 1855 Treaty of Detroit created a reservation for the LTBB Odawa in northern Michigan\, as well as current litigation on the Line 5 Pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac and the broader historical contexts of these cases.\n\nSpeakers: Matthew Fletcher\, Riyaz Kanji\, James McClurken\n\nChair: Maggie Blackhawk\n\n--\nDay 2 Session 4\n3:00pm – 4:15pm\n\nOn the Hidden Histories of Public Domain Land\n\nThis panel will explore the creation of public lands in the Michigan Territory and state through the multiple treaties negotiated by the federal government with the Indigenous peoples of Michigan. Historically\, federal officials pressured tribes in Michigan to agree to the extinction of Native title to their lands\, even when there was no immediate demand for those lands. This meant not only that tribes were deprived of a valuable asset\, but also that this asset was able to appreciate in value until such time as it was sold by the state. In order to convince Native peoples to sign these treaties\, the 1836 Washington and 1855 Detroit treaties guaranteed Native peoples the right to hunt\, fish\, and harvest on ceded territory not yet converted into private property. Reinforcing the enduring relevance of treaties across time\, this panel will focus on the protests\, activism\, and legal battles that have emerged over Indigenous resource rights in Michigan\, all of which revolve around differing interpretations of land and treaties. The panel will center the experiences and insights of community members who participated in these events.\n\nSpeakers: Mae Wright\, Emily Proctor\n\nChair: Eric Hemenway\n\n--\nDay 3\nSaturday\, April 11\, 2026\, Forum Hall\, 4th Floor\, Palmer Commons\n\nDay 3 Welcome & Session 5\n9:00am – 10:30am\n\nHow to Think About the Origins of Indian Removal Politics From a Great Lakes Perspective\n\nThis panel will highlight how two Michigan Anishinaabe communities\, the Pokagon Band of Boodewaadamii and the Burt Lake Band of Odawa and Ojibwe Indians\, had different experiences with removal and federal recognition\, shaping their distinct paths and histories. It will combine historical analysis of the development of various nineteenth-century land companies and land transfer schemes with presentations by community representatives who can discuss the resistance of their communities to Indian Removal\, as well as how they have fought or are still fighting to have their sovereignty and territory recognized by the federal government. This panel will discuss the shifting understandings and contexts of Indian Removal\, focusing on examples from Michigan and the broader Great Lakes Basin\, such as encroachment from settler colonists\, forced migration by military forces\, and Indian Boarding schools\, that illuminate nationally significant aspects of Indian Removal policy.\n\nSpeakers: Wenona T. Singel\, Blaire Morseau-Topache\n\nChair: Michael Witgen\n\n--\nDay 3 Session 6\n10:45am – 12:00pm\n\nTeaching Native American and Treaty History in K-12 Classrooms\n\nThis panel brings together educators from public schools and library professionals to share their experiences and insights on teaching Native American history in a range of educational settings. Panelists will discuss best practices for engaging students\, building inclusive curricula and lesson plans\, and addressing the gaps and challenges that persist in public education. Drawing on their experience teaching Native American history\, they will reflect on what has proven most effective\, what barriers remain\, and how educators can collaborate to move this work forward.\n\nSpeakers: Joe Erdmann\, Kara Johnson\, Annemarie Conway\n\nChair: Eric Hemenway\n\n--\nDay 3 Conference Wrap-up with Closing Remarks by Dr. Michael Witgen\n12:00 – 12:15pm\n\n--\nDay 3 Living with Treaties Community Connections Forum\n12:00pm – 3:00pm\n\nEqual parts resource fair\, poster session\, and tabling event\, the Community Connections Forum will serve as a platform for fostering connections among attendees\, the 1817 Project\, U-M campus partners\, and student organizations connected to the themes of the conference.\n\nDJ set by Sicangu Lakota multi-genre music artist\, educator\, and storyteller Frank Waln.\n\n--\nDay 3 Concurrent Breakout Workshops for K-12 Educators*\n1:15pm – 2:45pm\n\nTeaching Native American and Treaty History in Public Classrooms\n\nThis session will consist of teaching workshops designed for K-12 educators\, with two separate workshops targeted for elementary\, junior\, and high school level instructors. The workshops will include short preparatory presentations on subjects relevant to the conference\, such as treaties or public domain land\, with accompanying guidance on how to teach the subject matter. K-12 instructor participants will receive pre-prepared instructional materials at the start of the workshop\, with additional materials provided at the conclusion.\n\nFacilitators: Eric Hemenway\, Jared Aumen\, Madeline McShannock\, Joy Kooyer\, Jack Stearns
