SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Trans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography
DESCRIPTION:Participants: \nAlicia Spencer-Hall\, Honorary Senior Research Fellow at Queen Mary University of London (UK)\nBlake Gutt\, Assistant Professor of French\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Michigan Society of Fellows\, University of Michigan\nScott Larson\, Lecturer IV\, American Culture\, University of Michigan\nLaVelle Ridley\, Doctoral Candidate in English and Women's and Gender Studies\, University of Michigan\n\nTrans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography edited by Alicia Spencer-Hall and Blake Gutt (Amsterdram University Press\, 2021) presents an interdisciplinary examination of trans and genderqueer subjects in medieval hagiography. Scholarship has productively combined analysis of medieval literary texts with modern queer theory – yet\, too often\, questions of gender are explored almost exclusively through a prism of sexuality\, rather than gender identity. This volume moves beyond such limitations\, foregrounding the richness of hagiography as a genre integrally resistant to limiting binaristic categories\, including rigid gender binaries. The collection showcases scholarship by emerging trans and genderqueer authors\, as well as the work of established researchers. Working at the vanguard of historical trans studies\, these scholars demonstrate the vital and vitally political nature of their work as medievalists. \n\nTrans and Genderqueer Subjects in Medieval Hagiography enables the re-creation of a lineage linking modern trans and genderqueer individuals to their medieval ancestors\, providing models of queer identity where much scholarship has insisted there were none\, and re-establishing the place of non-normative gender in history.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.\n\nRegister Here: https://myumi.ch/9o2bX

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Freedom at Work
DESCRIPTION:The past year has been by marked the convergence of public health\, racial justice\, economic and democratic crises. To meet the moment\, leaders have sought to heighten aspirations toward racial representation\, equity and inclusion across industries. Bold proclamations in support of Black lives\, and ambitious platforms to invest in Black livelihoods\, have been backed by billions of dollars and coalitions of hundreds of leaders across sectors. As institutions begin to implement these diversity\, equity and inclusion initiatives\, what will they establish as standards for success and indicators of progress? How will organizational leaders and their stakeholders assess whether the racial climate has transformed to reflect greater diversity\, inclusion\, equity\, and justice? During this seminar\, I will introduce a framework for pursuing Freedom at Work\, grounded in the juxtaposition between the democratic ideals of liberty and justice\, and the sociohistorical oppression of enslaved\, African-descended Americans and other minoritized racial groups. I invite scholars and practitioners to analyze relative access to various freedoms at work (i.e.\, expression\, actualization\, deviation\, transformation\, reformation)\, consider how inequity undermines these freedoms\, and examine how freedom fighters from racially diverse and occupationally diverse backgrounds can help leaders to embody the aspirations and ideals they hold for diversity\, inclusion\, equity and justice. This discussion will also explore means for placing guardrails on practices that undermine rather than uphold the liberties of communities that were long-denied access to educational opportunity\, career mobility and economic advancement. In this vein\, I take up the question of how personal leadership commitments and accountability practices might catalyze change\, sustain momentum and advance the equal exercise of freedom at work for members of minoritized racial/ethnic identity groups.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:In-Person w/ Idris Robinson: Revolutionary Horizons after the George Floyd Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this in-person conversation with philosopher/ activist Idris Robinson on social movements\, resistance\, and the George Floyd Uprising on Friday\, December 3\, 2021 @ 3:30pm in Mason Hall\, Room 1449.\n\nIn the aftermath of the CHAZ occupation in downtown Seattle\, Idris Robinson presented “How It Might Should Be Done”: a public talk intended to survey the horizon of revolutionary potential uncovered by the George Floyd Rebellion during the hot summer of 2020. The revised essay of the same title\, published in Ill Will that August\, is seen in radical circles as one of the definitive texts of the uprising. In ten putative theses\, ranging from identity politics\, the current pandemic\, to the legacy of black revolt\, “How It Might Should” sought to facilitate a more direct and focused discussion regarding the stakes of emancipatory transformation at the very heart of empire. Since the uprising\, the crisis has only deepened\, presenting new possibilities and dashing others: In this upcoming talk at the University of Michigan\, Idris will both reassess and expand upon previous themes\, such as a theorization of civil war as stasis\, an examination of the abolitionist race-traitor through the lens of a political theology of martyrdom\, and the libidinal death-drive suffusing American racial dynamics.\n\nIdris Robinson is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of New Mexico. For over a decade\, he has written extensively on revolt and crisis in both European and American contexts. In his properly academic research\, he works towards cultivating an open and comparative approach that encompasses both contemporary Continental and Anglo-American philosophy\, while remaining informed by insights from various pre-modern traditions. He is currently working on a dissertation on ontological realism\, logical morphology\, and the role of paradigms in the progression of Wittgenstein’s thought.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Novel Uses of Non-traditional Stable Isotopes to Geochemical Kinetics with Applications to Geological Carbon Sequestration
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I will show the link between novel applications of non-traditional stable isotopes to geochemical kinetics and its application to carbon capture and storage (CCS). To meet the goal of limiting global warming to less than 1.5 degrees Celsius calls for storing hundreds of billion tons of CO2 in aquifers. Stored CO2 will partially dissolve into water and acidify the water. The acidified water will\, in turn\, react with minerals strongly. To predict the fate of stored CO2 thousands or tens of thousands of years after injection\, therefore\, needs an understanding of the chemical kinetics of the geochemical reactions at the most fundamental level. In recent years\, my students\, collaborators\, and I have developed an innovative isotope tracer method and have broken new ground in near-equilibrium reaction kinetics\, which fill in a critical knowledge gap relevant to CO2 storage. This presentation will give an overview of geological carbon sequestration efforts and an application of geochemical kinetics to the Sleipner Project in Norway\, the world's first industrial-scale CO2 storage project. The overlap between basic science and the societal need for climate change mitigation becomes clear through this example.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquia with Kelsa Palomares of Analytical Mechanics Associates
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nFission is a high power density energy source for space applications capable of enabling high power levels for long durations which is desirable for surface power and in-space propulsion methods for crewed missions. Nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) and nuclear electric propulsion (NEP) are advanced\, in-space propulsion technologies capable of higher efficiencies than traditional chemical engines\, making them well suited to enable crewed interplanetary missions. In NTP systems\, the reactor acts as a heat exchanger and directly heats a hydrogen propellant to provide high thrust (10s – 100s klbf) at high efficiencies\, i.e. specific impulse (> 800 s). NEP systems use a reactor to generate electricity to power high-efficiency electric propulsion thrusters which enable nearly a magnitude greater specific impulse (> 2000 s)\, but at reduced thrust (0.001 – 1 lbf). Because of these attributes\, space nuclear propulsion technologies have the capability to reduce trip times on the order of half of that compared to the highest performance chemical systems and there has been renewed interest in the development of these systems for future NASA or defense applications within the U.S. There has been extensive development for both NTP and NEP systems through historic space nuclear propulsion programs\, however none of these programs have quite reached the development status desired for implementation of either system in modern missions. Primary hurdles to reactor development have centered around materials development for the extreme operating conditions desired for high-performance space reactors. In this presentation\, the state of the art\, lessons learned\, and remaining knowledge gaps from historic NTP and NEP development programs are summarized. Based on this overview\, critical components for each reactor and remaining materials development challenges are identified. \n \nKeywords: nuclear thermal propulsion\, nuclear electric propulsion\, technology maturation\, reactor\, testing\n\nBio\nKelsa Benensky Palomares\, Ph.D. is the Nuclear Systems Engineering Lead for the Advanced Projects Group of Analytical Mechanics Associates\, Inc. (AMA). Dr. Palomares has a background in the design\, testing\, and experimental investigation of new and novel concepts for nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) through NTP development programs at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center\, Oak Ridge National Laboratory\, and the Center for Space Nuclear Research. Activities have included re-design and operational verification of MSFC’s compact fuel element environmental test (CFEET) and co-authoring ORNL/LTR-2017/119\, “A Preliminary Nuclear Thermal Propulsion Fuel Qualification Plan”\, to guide the production\, irradiation testing\, and verification of NTP fuel elements for the Department of Energy. She has recently participated as the reactor-subsystem lead for an industry nuclear thermal propulsion flight demonstration study commissioned by NASA and led by AMA and served as a peer reviewer for the National Academy of Science Engineering and Medicine’s report “Space Nuclear Propulsion for Human Mars Exploration”.
