SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series. Politics Matters: (How) Can Aid Help?
DESCRIPTION:Responding to growing interest in the transnational politics of decent work and inclusive development\, this talk explores the drivers of Vietnam’s industrial relations reforms. It draws attention to: wildcat strikes\, which triggered concerns about regime legitimacy\; pressures on manufacturers from reputation-conscious buyers\; the Trans Pacific Partnership’s stipulation of freedom of association\; together with economic and geopolitical incentives to join TPP. While donor-supported pilots do not appear to have motivated reform\, they are nonetheless important: providing a valuable space for reformists to explore new ideas\; iteratively adapt\; garner evidence of what furthers their perceived interests and ideologies\; with which they can persuade anxious\, conservative colleagues\, so as to build a reform coalition. By tracing the politics of governance reform\, and situating aid in this wider context\, this qualitative study furthers our understanding of the politics of inclusive development. It also makes two constructive suggestions: how to effectively scale-up pilot programs\, and productively engage with wider opportunities for inclusive development\, besides aid.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:EIHS Symposium: The Future of the Past
DESCRIPTION:On April 25\, 2017\, President Trump signed an executive order authorizing the possible reclassification of national monuments\, a threat to the preservation of the country’s natural\, archaeological\, and historical heritage. This is just one example of current initiatives that put the future of the past at risk. For as long as history as an academic field has existed\, its practitioners have relied on\, dialogued with\, or resisted the political contexts in which they operated. The current climate\, however\, has prompted a new urgency to writing\, teaching\, and researching the past. The inputs of our panelists will offer analytical reflections on what concerns us at present\, followed by a general discussion.  \n\nPanelists and topics:\nKathryn Babayan (History\, Near Eastern Studies\; University of Michigan): Generation 9/11: The Future of Islamic history in America\nMatthew Countryman (American Culture\, History\; University of Michigan): Citizen Historians: Historical Activism and Scholarly Responsibility\nGeoff Eley (History\, University of Michigan): Anxiety about Borders: Race\, History\, and the Foreigner\nAlexandra Minna Stern (American Culture\, History\, Obstetrics and Gynecology\, Women's Studies\; University of Michigan): Reading the Alt-Right: Timescapes and Tropes of White Nationalism\nHelmut Puff (History\, Germanic Languages and Literatures\; University of Michigan): panel chair\n\nFree and open to the public. Lunch provided. \n\nThis event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Strength Models and Functional Capacity of the Wrist in Extremely Deviated Postures
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Justin Young is currently an Assistant Professor of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Kettering University\, Flint\, MI.  He was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard School of Public Health\, Boston\, MA\, after receiving his Ph.D. in IOE from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, in 2011.  His research focuses on upper extremity biomechanics and specific ergonomics applications for safety\, manufacturing\, and human-machine interfaces.\n\nAbstract: Strength models are important for ergonomic risk assessment of worker tasks. Current models are unreliable for highly extended wrist postures commonly observed in tasks such as pushing on flat surfaces. New characterization of wrist strength and biomechanical strategy in these deviated postures are needed to improve accuracy of ergonomic software assessment tools (such as UM 3DSSPP). This talk will discuss recent experiments that characterize both active (muscular) strength and passive (structural) stabilization of the wrist throughout its range of motion\, as well as the force distribution on the hand when pushing on flat surfaces in extreme extended wrist postures. Implications for strength models and ergonomic analysis of functional tasks will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding
DESCRIPTION:On view from September 8-October 14\, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, The Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is a group exhibition including image and video work by Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley\, and Zineb Sedira. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCo-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director of The Power Plant\, and Mark Sealy\, The Unfinished Conversation is grounded in the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall (1932-2014)\, who devoted his life to studying the interweaving threads of culture\, power\, politics\, and history. \n\nTaking Hall’s essay Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse as a point of departure\, viewers will be invited to think about how meaning is constructed\; how it is systematically distorted by audience reception\; and how it can be detached and drained of its original intent to produce specific or slanted narratives. Hall’s interdisciplinary approach drew on literary theory\, linguistics\, and cultural anthropology in order to analyse and articulate the relationship between history\, culture\, popular media\, cold war politics\, gender\, and ethnicity.\n\nBy presenting the work of artists who bring into play time\, memory\, and archives so as to construct new readings of the past\, the exhibition will lay emphasis on the idea that the “visual” is an assimilatory process continuously at work in the construction of cultural\, political\, personal\, and national identities.\n\nCo-curators Gaëtane Verna and Mark Sealy state that it is their curatorial intention to build a multiple moving/still/audio archive\, an image map\, a visual vehicle that will ferry the audience across the choppy waters of memory\, images\, and politics to an undeterminable\, obscure\, and un-chartable destination\, where people often meet with a fatal end. The exhibition aims to take viewers on a journey in time\, to bring them to encounter images\, which act as both objects of art and ideas in flux\, circulating in and out of the archive through the corridors of cultural re-construction.\n\nThis image map will be drawn by the work of Terry Adkins\, John Akomfrah\, Shelagh Keeley and Zineb Sedira\, four artists whose practice is devoted primarily to commenting on recent socio-political events and situations and relating them to the not so distant past in order to help us understand the world we live in.\n\nBy stimulating our personal and collective memory\, these works will show us how history agitates and causes anxiety in our personal lives and in the political realm as they will reveal the fact that national identity is not an essence or a state of being\, but a “becoming\,” a process whereby subjectivities are formed in the interstices between such binary oppositions as us/them\, black/white\, or native/foreigner\, and that it is in those in-between spaces that marginalized people are the agents and subjects of many possible futures\, imagined or real.\n\nThe thread that connects all these art works is the artist’s involvement with the significant social issues confronting humanity today and their profound desire to push formal boundaries in order to tackle them.\n\nThe Unfinished Conversation: Encoding/Decoding is organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto in partnership with Autograph ABP\, London. The exhibition is co-curated by Gaëtane Verna\, Director\, The Power Plant and Mark Sealy\, Director\, Autograph ABP.\n\nPhoto by Toni Hafkenscheid.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Vital Signs for a New America
DESCRIPTION:On view from September 8-October 14\, 2017 in the Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.\, Ann Arbor)\, Vital Signs for a New America is a group exhibition including work by Dylan Miner\, Sheryl Oring\, and the performance collective The Hinterlands. There will be an exhibition reception on Friday\, September 8 from 6-8 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Vital Signs for a New America uses a range of meaningful and compelling of community-engaged approaches to invite the public to join Miner\, Oring\, and The Hinterlands in speaking out and sharing stories\; listening and re-learning\; and remembering the past to imagine new possibilities for the future.\n\nActive public engagement is at the heart of Vital Signs for a New America. Each work on view in this group exhibition offers opportunities to interact directly with the artists and their art. As part of the exhibition programming\, the gallery will become a common space for storytelling and tea drinking with Dylan Miner\; a bustling executive assistant’s office with Sheryl Oring\; and a tactile\, expansive personal archive with the performance collective The Hinterlands. Vital Signs invites the public to speak out\, listen\, and imagine new models for inclusive futures.\n\nDylan Miner: Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nSaturdays\, September 9-October 14\, 1-3 pm\n\nDylan Miner\, Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, is an artist\, activist\, and scholar. Miner identifies as a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis)\, the Ojibwe designation for a Native male of mixed ancestry. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to” due to the limitations of urbanizations\, wage labor\, and settler colonialism to name a few. In response\, Miner was inspired to explore the methodology of visiting with an art gallery or museum context. Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore is a creative action where the public is invited to share tea and conversation with the artist\, creating new friendships and maintaining social relationships within a specific time and place.\n\nSheryl Oring: I Wish to Say \nFriday\, September 8\, 5-6.30 pm and 7-8 pm (two engagements)\nFridays\, September 15-October 13\, 5-7 pm\n\nNationally renowned artist Sheryl Oring’s belief in the value of free expression guaranteed by the American constitution propelled her to initiate I Wish to Say (2004-ongoing)\, a public platform that invites people to voice their concerns about the state-of-affairs in the country to the President of America. For this project\, Oring sets up a portable public office — complete with a manual typewriter — and invites viewers to dictate postcards to the President of the United States\, prompting with a simple phrase: “Do you have a message for the president?” Over the last decade\, Oring has toured this project across the country and more than 3\,000 postcards have been mailed to the White House. Taking place for the first time in Michigan\, Oring will be working with students and volunteers at the Stamps Gallery and in the city of Ann Arbor to spark dialogues not just among artists and academics but also among the diverse public of Ann Arbor on their notes to the President.\n\nThe Hinterlands: The Radicalization Process Papers \nTuesday\, October 3\, 6-7.30pm: History is a Living Weapon (performance)\n\nThe Hinterlands delve into the past to remember and re-learn the cultural memories and collective histories of Detroit and Ann Arbor. A collection of boxes is discovered in the basement of a house on the border of Detroit and Hamtramck. In them\, a rich personal archive of publication clippings\, which appear to chronicle radical U.S. histories of the 60s and 70s. Using the archive as a performative platform\, the artists invite audiences to engage with the materials contained in the boxes that blur the boundaries between fact and fiction\, real and imagined. The ephemera and memorabilia in the The Radicalization Process Papers takes audiences on a journey that navigates layers of historical accounts\, art\, politics\, and cultural artifacts and asks audiences to examine the assumptions of freedom and democracy in popular American culture. Created and compiled by The Hinterlands in collaboration with historian and poet Casey Rocheteau and designer Ben Gaydos.
