Are you unsure about whether to respond\nquickly to a charged media request with a deadline today? Do you know\nwhat you should do to manage your reputation and position as an expert in your\nfield? Do you know what not to do when a reporter contacts you\nfor a story? This workshop is designed to support faculty members as they\nnavigate interactions with the media—especially when confronted with\nchallenging contacts.The Michigan News team\noffers interactive workshops and training\, for individuals and groups\, that\nprepare faculty for a variety of media engagement scenarios.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:An Operatic Reimagining of The Handmaid’s Tale: Gender\, Power\, and Reproductive Justice
DESCRIPTION:In 1985\, Margaret Atwood\, The Handmaid’s Tale\, envisioned a theocratic regime that systematically stripped women and gender-diverse people of their reproductive freedom. Although Atwood’s narrative is fiction\, the realities of forced reproduction and restricted bodily autonomy have long impacted women of color\, low-income women\, disabled women\, and people of diverse gender identities\, making this story compelling and profoundly relevant today.  The novel’s evolution into a television show and now\, an opera reflects its sustained cultural and political resonance. This event\, co-hosted by the Detroit Opera and the University of Michigan’s Center for History\, Humanities\, Arts\, Social Sciences\, and Ethics in Medicine\, will feature a free\, moderated discussion about the operatic adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale. Together\, we will explore how artistic representations can stimulate important conversations about reproductive justice\, structural power\, and the ongoing struggles faced by women and people of marginalized genders. Through centering the role of art in social critique and activism\, this event aims to deepen understanding of gender and sexuality in the context of contemporary debates surrounding reproductive rights.
