SUMMARY:Exhibition:Prisons and Politics in America
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit examines the political reasons for why people are imprisoned: for speaking out\, for writing\, for violating repressive laws\, framed because of their color or politics\, for stealing from the rich\, for refusing the military draft\, for whistleblowing\, for attempting to overthrow the government\, for standing up for a belief\, or for walking over a forbidden line.\n\nThe items focus on maintaining one's humanity behind bars\, promoting political causes\, and offering solidarity in support of prisoners.\n\nThe groups and individuals whose stories are featured in the Labadie Collection share one thing in common: fighting to make a better world. In the process\, many of them have been arrested\, brutalized\, censored\, deported\, imprisoned\, or executed. Some were innocent victims of violent police or discriminatory policies.\n\nThe U-M Library’s Joseph A. Labadie Collection documents the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the nineteenth century to the present. Established in 1911\, it is the oldest and largest public archive of its kind in the world.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CREES/Ford U.S.-Russia Future Leaders Professional Development Workshop. Refugee Protection Issues in Central Europe and the Balkans
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this workshop is limited to current U-M students and registration is now closed.\n\nRecent promises in the West to accept refugees fleeing Afghanistan in the wake of the Taliban takeover stand in stark contrast to the actions of border officials along the way. Often characterized as migrants despite fleeing war and persecution\, borders from Turkey through the Western Balkans to the EU remain difficult to navigate for those who cannot afford smugglers. At the same time\, movements along all routes\, especially through the Western Balkans\, are increasing significantly\, all during another round of Covid-related restrictions and shutdowns.\n\nReadings and Workshop\n\nIn preparation for the workshop\, students will receive documents essential to understanding the issues and actors at play. During the workshop\, we will break into smaller groups to reconcile the various conflicting mandates of the state and international actors\, and the role of NGOs\, and seek ways forward that respect international legal obligations while reflecting the situation on the ground.\n\nJohn A. Young (BA Russian and REES ‘86\, JD ‘90) has devoted most of his career to refugee protection in Europe and the Middle East. Based mainly with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) since 1994\, he also worked five years at the European Commission in pre-accession projects on law and justice\, human rights\, and minorities. Throughout his career\, John has been engaged in refugee status determination\, resettlement\, asylum-building\, migration management\, and the identification and response to vulnerable persons. While in Brussels he prepared UNHCR's legal submissions for ECHR in Strasbourg\, and the Court of Justice\, and worked with the European Parliament and Commission on EU Asylum legislation. Presently he is the Head of the UNHCR Protection Learning Unit in Budapest. He has also served in Russia\, Switzerland\, Serbia\, and Slovakia\, with missions to Kenya\, Uganda\, Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, and Georgia.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Chokepoints: Temporalities of Navigation in the Red Sea
DESCRIPTION:Chokepoints: Temporalities of Navigation in the Red Sea\nJatin Dua\, University of Michigan\, Anthropology\n\nMonday\, Jan. 31\, The Open Talks will be held noon to 1pm\, and the Grad Workshops will be held 1 to 3pm.\n\nZoom Link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/95385019774?pwd=N0I1THZGYlQwZi9UT2Q5dFlXSEttdz09\nPasscode: 520095\nMeeting ID: 953 8501 9774\n\nAbstract:\nShipping plays a crucial role in global circulation and geopolitical imaginaries of mobility. Approximately 90% of the world’s imports and exports travel by sea on some 93\,000 merchant vessels\, operated by 1.25 million seafarers\, carrying almost six billion tons of cargo. This global circulation\, however\, is dependent on navigating a variety of chokepoints—narrow straits\, ports\, and other geographic locales that ‘choke’ the seemingly frictionless flow of global shipping. Focusing on ports and shipping lanes in the Bab-el-Mandeb\, a narrow strait that separates Africa from Asia and connects the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean\, this talk explores the generative power of chokepoints. Beyond the problem of lag\, I argue for understanding chokepoint politics—a mode of politics and place-making built on channeling circulation.\n\nThis is a part of the Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD) Winter 2022 Series - \"Water Ways: New Social Science\, Science Studies\, and Environmental Approaches to Water\"\n\nThis is also a part of the class Anthrcul 558 section 002

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Disabusing Disability: Demonstrating That DISability Doesn't Mean Inability
DESCRIPTION:Disability is regularly neglected in conversations about diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, yet it is the one demographic that we may all identify with one day. Disability should serve as a means of demonstrating that we are all much more similar than we are different. \n\nAs a disabled\, black\, Nigerian\, immigrant\, cis-gender heterosexual\, male\, physician\, athlete\, U-M Professor Oluwaferanmi Okanlami will talk about the intersectionality between all of those identities. He believes that disability is not inability. He encourages us to allow people to demonstrate what they can do\, rather than attempting to limit them based on what they can’t. \n\nDr. Okanlami will engage the Michigan community in conversation about what each of us can do\, within our own spheres of influence\, to make sure we are not perpetuating ableism in our personal\, academic and professional lives.\n\n\nAt Michigan Engineering\, the job of creating a more diverse\, equitable and inclusive community rests not within one organization or group of people\, but with all of us. Only in this way can we move the field toward an equity-centered future. Equity-centered engineering is a guiding philosophy at the College that seeks to approach engineering with an intent to close—rather than unintentionally expand—societal gaps.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Scars of Life Course Trauma on the Immune System
DESCRIPTION:The Scars of Life Course Trauma on the Immune System\nby Grace Noppert\n\nMonday\, January 31\n12-1:10 pm ET via Zoom\n\nAbstract:\nWe are currently observing an unprecedented rise in childhood trauma from COVID-19—specifically related to the loss and disruption of caregiving. Yet\, we know little about the impact or persistence of early life trauma on later life immune function. Using nationally representative data on older adults from the U.S. Health and Retirement Study\, we examined the association between experiencing parental death or parental separation before the age of 16 years and four markers of immune function in late life: high sensitive C-reactive Protein (CRP)\, Interleukin-6 (IL-6)\, soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor (sTNFR)\, and immune response to cytomegalovirus (CMV) measured by the level of Immunoglobulin G (IgG). We also examined racial and ethnic differences in these associations. We found that racialized minority individuals were more likely to experience parental death/separation in early life compared to non-Hispanic Whites and had poorer immune function in later life. We also found consistent associations between parental death or separation and poor immune function in later life measured by both CMV and IL-6 across all race/ethnic subgroups. This presentation will discuss the growing body of evidence that early life trauma becomes embedded in the architecture of the immune system with consequences for health throughout the life course. \n\nBio:\nDr. Noppert's work lies at the intersection of biology\, sociology\, and epidemiology. Her work seeks to explain how social processes become biologically embedded with implications for health across the life course. She began her work as an infectious disease epidemiologist examining health disparities in tuberculosis (TB) in the U.S. Since then\, her work has focused on uncovering the social underpinning of a range of infectious diseases\, both established (e.g.\, TB) and emergent (e.g.\, SARS-CoV-2). Her current work focuses on sociobiological exposures such as persistent viral infections (e.g.\, CMV\, HSV-1\, etc.) and how they intersect with the immune system. Understanding the link between social factors\, infections\, and immune function may hold clues to explaining and disrupting persistent health inequities across the life course.\n\nMichigan Population Studies Center (PSC) Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Unconventional locomotion: hopping\, leaping\, and disentangling
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nLegged robots show great promise in areas where other robotic platforms struggle\, like cluttered natural or indoor environments.  Novel robot morphology developed in concert with control can improve robot performance in metrics like speed\, efficiency\, or power and enable legged robots to tackle new challenging environments. First\, this talk will present the development of the small jumping robot Salto-1P.  Salto-1P achieved unparalleled jumping performance and demonstrated the first robotic wall jump\, precise control to traverse obstacles much larger than the robot’s size\, onboard estimation and control for autonomous and outdoor operation\, and balanced launching and pinpoint landing. Since robot performance is most useful when it enables new capabilities in challenging environments\, ongoing work investigates the challenges of moving over and around plants: leaping among tree branches\, and walking through undergrowth and vines.  The talk will close with plans for future work.\n\nBIO:\nJustin Yim is a postdoctoral researcher with Aaron Johnson's Robomechanics Lab in the Mechanical Engineering department at Carnegie Mellon University supported by the Computing Research Association and Computing Community Consortium CIFellows 2020 postdoctoral fellowship.  He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of California\, Berkeley and his B.S.E. and M.S.E. from the University of Pennsylvania.  His research interests are in the design and control of legged robots to improve performance and understand locomotion principles.  For his dissertation work developing the jumping monopod robot Salto-1P\, he received best paper and best student paper awards at the IEEE/RSJ IROS and IEEE ICRA conferences.  A strong believer in STEM outreach\, he has organized outreach lessons in partnership with multiple nonprofits reaching thousands of K-12 students.  He has also served as an organizer for the R:SS conference Inclusion@RSS program and the CMU ME DEI subcommittee on mentorship.
