SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Symposium on Critical Transgender Studies
DESCRIPTION:Join the 2024-25 Frankel Institute Fellows for three panels featuring guest scholars from the USA\, Canada\, and Israel\, all exploring various intersections of their respective studies under this year's theme\, \"Queer/Trans/Jewish.\" \n\n\nPANEL 1: TRANS BEFORE THE \"MODERN\" - 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM\nModerator: Simone Stirner\nPresenters: Jessie deGrado\, Dorothy Kim (Brandeis University)\, Scott Larson\, Rafe Neis\, Max Strassfeld\n\nPanel participants will engage in a conversation on several themes at the intersection of transing\, asexuality\, and Judaic studies in the premodern era. Questions will include how studying the past can denaturalize modern-contemporary gender categories\, how transing as an approach is distinct from contemporary definitions of trans-ness\, and how a trans framework can help us problematize the category of modernity itself\n\n\nPANEL 2: TRANS EMBODIMENT IN MODERNITY - 1:30 - 3:30 PM\nModerator: Sheer Ganor\nPresenters: Rafael Balling\, Gil Engelstein\, and Shira Schwartz (Northwestern University)\n\nThis panel explores questions and debates that emerge at the axis of Jewish and trans experiences in the modern world. Reflecting through their research expertise and beyond\, speakers will discuss themes including visibility and its discontents\, linkages\, and tensions between trans and Jewish identities\, and the challenges that communities face in light of unprecedented attacks on trans people.\n\n\nPANEL 3: QUEER THEORY - 4:30 - 6:30 PM\nModerated by Rovel Sequeira\nPresented by Adi Saleem and Amal Ziv\n\n\nPlease RSVP for the conference here: https://forms.gle/LMxfURuR5vaKGAy97

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n
