SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit features various aspects of the Native North American powwow. More specifically\, it features the history and culture behind Ann Arbor’s \"Dance for Mother Earth Powwow\,\" which is approaching its much-anticipated 50th celebration.\n\nThe Dance for Mother Earth Powwow is a multi-decade\, intertribal celebration of Indigenous cultures. It grew from its early beginnings as a small gathering in a field just outside of Ann Arbor into one of the largest student-led powwows in North America. The event attracts crowds of thousands — dancers\, singers\, artists\, tribal members from across the country\, and non-Indigenous members of the community.\n\nStop by to learn more about The Dance for Mother Earth Powwow\, modern Indigenous culture\, and resources to connect to today on campus.\n\nThis exhibition was curated by Michigan Library Scholar interns\, Allison Jiang and Andrea Medina. The Michigan Library Scholars internship program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to research and develop a capstone project under the guidance of experienced library professionals at one of the largest academic research libraries in the world.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"I have a crisis for you\": Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War
DESCRIPTION:An exhibit curated by Grace Mahoney and Jessica Zychowicz\nFeaturing work by Kinder Album\, JT Blatty\, Oksana Briukhovetska (MFA\, Stamps School of Art and Design)\, Oksana Kazmina\, Sonya Hukaylo\, Svetlana Lavochkina\, Kateryna Lisovenko\, and Lyuba Yakimchuk.\n\nLane Hall Exhibit Space\n204 South State Street\n\nAbout the exhibit:\nIn February 2022\, the world witnessed the invasion of Ukraine and all-out war of aggression by the Russian Federation. Since this time\, massive casualties\, human rights violations\, and an unprecedented refugee crisis have ensued. Women artists of Ukraine have responded. They paint on found materials in refugee housing\, illustrate in bomb shelters\, photograph their shelled cities wearing press passes and bulletproof jackets. They document\, create\, and share. They post their daily journals and images on social media. They perform at the Grammy Awards. They know their message is powerful\, and the amplification of their voices is critical for victory in a very real battle for survival.\n\nCurated by Grace Mahoney (U-M Slavic Languages and Literatures) and Jessica Zychowicz\, Ph.D. (Fulbright Ukraine and U-M Alumna)\, \"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War\" showcases work created by women artists in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine. The involved artists are painters\, photographers\, filmmakers\, poets\, translators\, and textile artists. Many of the works exhibited demonstrate a continuity of engagement by the artists with the topic of war\, especially since 2014 when the people of Ukraine gathered in a “Revolution of Dignity” against attempts by the Russian Federation to control the country’s independence resulting in Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and backing of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine’s east. \n\nThe featured artists have also been selected because of their prominent interest and exploration of issues relating to gender in their works. The title for this exhibit comes from a poem of the same name by Lyuba Yakimchuk:\n\n“— our love’s gone missing\, I explain to a friend/ it vanished in one of the wars/ we waged in our kitchen/ — change the word ‘war’ to ‘crisis\,’ he suggests/ because a crisis is something everyone has from time to time.”\n\nLike in Yakimchuk’s poem\, many of these artists approach the war with personal perspectives. They intertwine\, juxtapose\, and disrupt experiences of war with the intimacies of personal relationships\, the workings interior lives\, and perceptions of social roles. The featured artworks and documents engage a range of subjects from women volunteering as combatants to the processes of grieving and reflect ongoing discourses in Ukrainian feminist scholarship. \n\nThe exhibit will be accompanied by a companion website which includes an expanded set of informational and aid-related resources. \n\n\"'I have a crisis for you': Women Artists of Ukraine Respond to War\" is hosted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies with co-sponsorship from the Center for Russian\, East European & Eurasian Studies\, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures\, the Museum Studies Program\, the Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia\, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.\n\nRelated Events:\n\nOpening Reception with comments by the curators\n4:00-6:00 pm ET\, Thursday\, September 15th\, 2022\nLane Hall\n\nArtists’ Roundtable (Hybrid)\n3:30-5:00pm ET\, Friday\, September 16th\, 2022\nWeiser Hall\, 1010\n\n*U-M classes may schedule visits outside of regular gallery hours by emailing LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Exhibition:To Be Heard: \"Pressed Against My Own Glass\" Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:To Be Heard at the University of Michigan is a public mural project and exhibition by Brooklyn-based street artist\, painter\, and activist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh. \n\nThe exhibition* Pressed Against My Own Glass* will be installed in the Institute for the Humanities Gallery. In this multimedia installation on Black womanhood within the home space\, Fazlalizadeh explores her childhood and adulthood within the domestic space and how it connects to the experiences of other Black women and those who had a girlhood. Using paintings\, drawings\, video\, and reappropriated home objects\, she examines her experiences of joy\, rest\, sadness\, and fellowship in the home. While doing so\, she makes connections to her Black women peers\, even those like Breonna Taylor and Atatiana Jefferson who show how racist violence is a threat to Black women even in their homes.\n\nAbout the Public Mural Project:\n\n*To Be Heard*\, public mural project\, September 28-October 16\, 2022. Locations: Angell Hall\, Trotter Multicultural Center\, Modern Languages Building\, Shapiro Library.\n\nThe public mural component utilizes community engagement\, public art\, and social practice to listen to and amplify the voices of marginalized groups\, particularly women and non-white students at the University of Michigan. Through class workshops and interviews\, Fazlalizadeh will engage with Black and brown\, queer\, and women-identified students on the ways that they experience race and gender on campus\, exploring how students are treated based on their identities. The engagement will culminate in public art installation across campus using drawings and photos to present the experiences and stories from these students back to the public.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:When pull turns to shove: modeling how tribalism and environmental bias form ideological distributions in large populations
DESCRIPTION:HYRBID SEMINAR:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/96616169868 \nPassword: CSCS (all caps)\nWeiser Hall Room 747\n\n11:30 AM\n\nAbstract: Modeling the dynamics of political ideology can help us understand societal issues like polarization\, which affect the evolution of many systems of power. This talk will go over our modeling framework\, which utilizes a network-free system of determining political influence and a local-attraction\, distal-repulsion dynamic for reaction to perceived content. Our approach allows for the incorporation of intergroup bias such that messages from trusted in-group sources enjoy greater leeway than out-group ones. We are able to extrapolate these nonlinear microscopic dynamics to macroscopic population distributions by tying them to inputs from systematically biased\, probabilistic environments. The framework we put forward can reproduce both real-world political distributions and experimentally observed dynamics\, and---importantly---is amenable to further refinement as more data becomes available.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Building Mentor Networks: Thinking Beyond Having a Mentor
DESCRIPTION:Many students receive advice about finding a mentor when they are headed off to college or graduate school. Research shows\, though\, that having a set of mentors\, or a mentor network\, is better. During the workshop\, students will learn more about what a mentor network is and how to go about building one. Additionally\, participants will get a chance to talk to one another about what kinds of mentors they might need. REGISTERED attendees will receive lunch. \n\nRegister for the workshop on sessions: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/59199

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Lecture Series. The Filipino Subjunctive: A Transpacific Counterhistory of Filipinization
DESCRIPTION:After wars of counterinsurgency are waged on the colonial front\, they march into the colonized self. Few places exemplify this more than the Philippines\, the United States’ first overseas colony\, a plentiful source of American migrant labor\, and the site of one of America’s most brutal but unacknowledged 20th-century genocidal campaigns. Direct American occupation had supposedly come to an end under the aegis of Filipinization: the systematic appropriation of native leadership into American colonial occupation and counterinsurgency. But\, I argue\, that Filipinization also informed the everyday conduct and political imaginations of those outside of structures of power\, namely\, migrant workers across the Pacific. \n\nIn this talk\, I suggest that American counterinsurgency did not end after direct colonial rule but informed how people across the Pacific imagined how the future citizens of a soon-to-be independent Philippine nation might behave. This provisional subject—what I am calling the Filipino subjunctive emerges from these transnational imaginaries\, in and out of the purview of elite projects of state formation. Through the creative labors of everyday life\, these thinkers asked: What would it look like to be Filipino\, subjects of a nation yet to come? And who would pay the price for such a national community to come into existence?\n\n---\n\nAdrian De Leon is an award-winning writer and public historian in Los Angeles. He is an assistant professor of American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California and a host for *PBS Digital Studios* and the Center for Asian American Media. His first academic book\, *Bundok: A Hinterland History of Filipino America* (forthcoming\, University of North Carolina Press)\, retells the longue durée of U.S. empire and early Philippine migration through the native peoples of Northern Luzon. He is at work on two scholarly projects: *The Philippines for Filipinos: A Conditional History of a Commonwealth* (under contract\, University of Washington Press)\, which follows non-elite migrant nationalisms in the shadow of American counterinsurgency\; and A*fter Homeland: A Return in Four Movements*\, a short book on return migrations and the contemporary articulation of “homelands” in the Philippines and around the world.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Lunch Seminar - Hybrid: Character evolution and homoplasy in the New World milkvetches (Astragalus\, Fabaceae)
DESCRIPTION:Our weekly lunch seminar series featuring internal speakers in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology.\n\nAbstract\nAstragalus L. (Fabaceae) is possibly the most species-rich genus of seed plants with more than 3\,000 recognized species. Almost 500 of those species (commonly called milkvetches or locoweeds) in the Americas are part of a clade called Neo-Astragalus and are estimated to have shared a common ancestor as recently as 4.5 million years ago. However\, as largely temperate\, perennial herbaceous plants\, these species are rather ecologically similar compared to classic examples of plant adaptive radiations. Using phylogenies estimated from whole chloroplast genomes and nuclear ribosomal DNA\, I will explore cryptic (or difficult to observe) differentiation in Neo-Astragalus by examining character evolution and homoplasy in morphological traits as well as the accumulation of selenium. About two dozen Neo-Astragalus species are selenium hyperaccumulators that are not only restricted to soils already rich in the element but also accumulate it to the point they are highly toxic to most herbivores. Convergent evolution in this trait could be indicative of other kinds of cryptic but ecologically important disparity that may have developed during the evolution of Neo-Astragalus in the Americas and in Astragalus as a whole. \n\nThis seminar will be in-person and livestreaming on Zoom (link this page). \n\nContact eebsemaccess@umich.edu for password at least two hours prior to the event.\n\n Image credit: Joseph Charboneau
