During his first years of adolescence\, Muzamil grows up like other children\, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19\, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.\n\nFilm Facts & Background:\nSince few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956\, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala\, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents\, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.\n__________________\nThis African Muslim Film Festival is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center and cosponsored by the African Studies Center\, Arab and Muslim American Studies\, the Center for Middle East and North African Studies\, Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\,  the Department of Film\, Television\, and Media\, the Department of Middle Eastern Studies\, the Department of Political Science\, and the Sawyer Seminar on the Africana Muslim and Genealogies of White Supremacy.\n\nVisit http://watch.eventive.org/amff for more details.\n\nWant to hear about similar events from U-M Islamic Studies?

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Exhibition. Survivors Saving Survivors: Photographing the Ukrainian Refugee Experience in Poland
DESCRIPTION:In April and June 2022\, at the invitation of JCC Krakow\, Chuck Fishman traveled to Poland to document the JCC and the Jewish community’s commitment to helping Ukrainian refugees fleeing their war-torn country. What he witnessed and captured in a series of gripping photographs is *tikkun olam*\, a central concept in Judaism that denotes activities that repair and improve the world we live in. The exhibit shifts the lens away from the horror the refugees have endured to focus instead on human goodness and how it can overcome lingering evil.\n\nIn his 45-year career\, freelance photographer Chuck Fishman has focused on social and political issues with a strong humanistic concern. His work on Jewish life in Poland\, begun in 1975\, continues to the present day. Fishman’s work has been extensively published\, exhibited\, and collected worldwide\, and has earned him prestigious World Press Photo Foundation medals four times. His photographs have appeared on the covers of *Time*\, *Life*\, *Fortune*\, *Newsweek*\, *The London Sunday Times*\, *The Economist*\, and numerous others. Fishman’s work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\, the United Nations POLIN: The Museum of the History of Polish Jews\, and the Stanford University and New York Public Libraries\, to name a few\, as well as private and corporate collections.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Early Astronomy in the University of Michigan Collections
DESCRIPTION:Trace how astronomy was developed\, studied\, and disseminated through the centuries\, from 1500 BCE to the Renaissance. On display is material drawn from the University of Michigan collections dealing with the history of early astronomy: manuscripts\, early printed books\, and artifacts illustrating Mesopotamian\, Greek\, Islamic\, and Western European astronomy.\n\nThis exhibit and its permanent online counterpart (https://umlib.us/earlyastronomy) are part of the Aratus Project\, which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and led by Prof. Francesca Schironi. The core of the project has been to study Aratus’ \"Phaenomena\,\" the most important poem on stars and constellations of the Graeco-Roman ancient world\, and its exegetical tradition. Read an annotated edition and English translation of \"Phaenomena\" and its commentaries (https://aratus.classics.lsa.umich.edu/). The physical and online exhibits place this research work within its later intellectual and historical context.\n\nCurated by: John Steele\, Professor of the History of the Exact Sciences in Antiquity\, Department of Egyptology and Assyriology\, Brown University\; Francesca Schironi\, U-M Professor of Classical Studies\; Evyn Kropf\, U-M Librarian for Middle Eastern & North African Studies\; Pablo Alvarez\, U-M Curator (Special Collections Research Center).\n\nCheck Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room hours: https://myumi.ch/2mx44

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Portraits of Feminism in Japan
DESCRIPTION:What is feminism in Japan? Rather than imagining it as a singular\, coherent object\, this exhibit seeks to introduce the diversity\, difference\, and complexity inherent in feminist activism in Japan. As in other cultural contexts\, “feminism” in Japan can invoke sharply different associations\, from office workers trying to reshape taken-for-granted structures of power and authority\, to mothers advocating for safer school lunches after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disasters\, and queer couples seeking legal recognition for the families they have created. Mainstream feminist activism in Japan has focused on advocating for change in families\, workplaces\, schools\, political institutions\, and laws\, among many other contexts. Many ­– but certainly not all – feminist activists in Japan are also responding to the lasting legacies of Japanese colonial projects\, working toward recognition\, repair\, and meaningful reparations for racial and gender-based violence that continue to impact communities disproportionately.\n\nThis exhibit features original portraits of feminists who have shaped the landscape of women's and gender rights in Japan and beyond. Created by nine contemporary artists in Japan and the United States\, the portraits and accompanying texts challenge simplistic understandings of \"feminism\" while also drawing attention to a diversity of experiences\, needs\, and activism within Japan. This exhibit also spotlights the history of Japanese studies at the University of Michigan in conjunction with the Center for Japanese Studies' 75th anniversary celebration. \n\n“Portraits of Feminism in Japan” is open for viewing M-F 9am-4pm or by appointment. University of Michigan instructors can email LaneHallExhibits@umich.edu to request a group tour or schedule a class visit.\n\nFeatured artists:\nElaine Cromie\, JenClare B.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:With Care
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition\nNicole Marroquin is an interdisciplinary artist\, researcher\, and educator whose practice explores spatial justice and Latinx history. Deeply rooted in community\, she cultivates and reaffirms the human connections that ultimately sustain us.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Democratically Engaged Assessment\, Part Two: From Theory to Practice—Build a Plan and Make It Yours
DESCRIPTION:Assessment. The word sends shivers up the spine of even the most experienced scholars. Assessment is one of the most challenging\, fraught\, and effective endeavors that we deal with as public scholars\, community engagement professionals\, and change agents. But does assessment have to be so stressful? So inauthentic? Devoid of values? The quick answer: no!\nAssessment can be so much more than ticking boxes\, taking surveys\, and statistics. It can be dynamic\, engaging\, authentic\, and reaffirming. In this workshop\, we will help participants to reimagine their relationship with assessment and develop ways of centering an equity-based\, inclusive\, democratic assessment process in their work. These workshops will guide participants through a series of activities to reimagine their assessment work using the framework of democratically-engaged assessment (DEA) as a lens. Following a conceptual introduction and initial engagement with the framework\, participants will examine their assessment practices and develop an action plan for their own work in a specific arena. Reflective exercises and collaborative activities will help participants surface their assumptions about the role of values in assessment\, the values they enact through their assessment\, tension points that arise across phases of assessment\, and opportunities to negotiate tensions through the lens of DEA. In keeping with the tenets of the framework\, participants will not only enhance their own work\, but also will contribute to the ongoing and co-creative development of the DEA framework itself.\n\nPart One: Reimagining Assessment for Public Scholarship\nNOTE: This session has a separate registration\, please register for Part 1 here.\nIntention: This workshop will cover the basics of assessment\, bust some myths\, introduce some framings and tools\, and explore examples of the spectrum of assessment.\n\nPart Two: From Theory to Practice – Build a plan and make it yours\nAudience: This workshop is an ideal space for those who have a project\, an idea\, or an inkling of an idea that they want to develop into reality and plan how to assess it.\n\nParticipants may choose to attend one or both sessions\, depending on their interests and needs.\nBios:\nJulia Metzker serves as director of the Washington Center for Improving Undergraduate Education at the Evergreen State College.

During her journey of discovering herself as an educator\, she was fortunate to find a cohort of like-minded university educators who co-founded the Innovative Course-building Group—a grass-roots social network for learning that supports teaching faculty and staff across disciplines. She believes in reimagining and reclaiming the democratic potential of assessment\, work she champions as a member of Imagining America’s Assessing the Practices of Public Scholarship (APPS) research group. She and her partner\, Joe\, raise chickens and bees in the Pacific Northwest.\nSarah Stanlick is an assistant professor in the Department of Integrative and Global Studies and the director of the Great Problems Seminar at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). She is also responsible for the delivery and support of global project-based learning through the Global Projects Program\, and teaches social science research methods for students of all backgrounds and majors in preparation for the interactive qualifying project\, a seven-week project with external sponsors. Her commitment to transformative and inclusive learning that engages students as active agents includes her regular participation in faculty learning communities at WPI and collaborative work to advance the integration of open educational resources and open pedagogical practices across the WPI curriculum. In addition to co-chairing the APPS collective with Julia\, she serves as one of the co-directors of the Community-Based Global Learning Collaborative. Her priority for teaching\, research\, and service is to encourage and model engaged\, active citizenship and help create conditions for all community members to be able to similarly engage. She splits time between Worcester and Hellertown\, Pennsylvania (where her partner Michael works and lives with their spicy cat Miikka) and is an avid gardener\, yoga practitioner\, cook\, and ice hockey fan.\n\nThis session is sponsored by Rackham’s Mellon Public Engagement and the Humanities program\, and is open to all students on campus interested in the topic.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/Dww8M.\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events.
