SUMMARY:Auditions:Between the Sun and the Sidewalk: Screening\, Q&A\, and Reception
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Latinx Heritage Month at the University of Michigan with an interactive night of film\, food\, discussion\, and community! Together\, we’ll enjoy a screening of Between the Sun and the Sidewalk\, followed by a Q&A and reception with the documentary’s director\, Helen De Michiel.\nRegistration is required at https://myumi.ch/ypNN4.\n\nWe want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event\, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time\, preferably one week\, to arrange for your requested accommodations or an effective alternative.\nAbout the Between the Sun and the Sidewalk\n\nBetween the Sun and the Sidewalk follows two fiercely dedicated young Latino political organizers leading a team of new recruits to mobilize their community to support a sugary drink tax. When the state government passes a stealth law to ban all local soda taxes until 2030\, these young activists fearlessly battle the corporate lobbying efforts to block them.\nIn their goal to ignite a grassroots movement for health justice\, the young organizers\, Christian and Aurora\, are undaunted. Tested during their fight for local democracy and the right to vote on important issues\, the film’s heroes overcome doubt\, fear\, and powerful resistance as they dare to fight back against the goliath American beverage industry.\nThis event is presented by Rackham Graduate School with support from Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA)\, Ginsberg Center\, Puentes\, and Turn Up Turnout. This event is open to all students\, faculty\, and staff as part of Latinx Heritage Month at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:FEAST Conference
DESCRIPTION:The grammars of signed languages are as highly complex as the grammars of spoken languages and share with them many universal features\, despite the difference in modality between spoken languages (which use the auditory channel) and signed languages (which use the visual channel). Yet\, sign languages also differ from spoken languages in radical ways: morphological information in sign languages is often conveyed simultaneously by different articulators rather than linearly\; moreover\, certain aspects of their phonological\, syntactic and semantic structures are not commonly found in spoken languages. These differences raise an interesting challenge both for formal linguistic and experimental research frameworks.\n\nFEAST (Formal and Experimental Advances in Sign Language Theory) is the regular forum to discuss formal approaches to sign language grammar (in particular in the generative tradition)\, experimental approaches to sign languages\, and their interaction. FEAST is held as a conference series every one or two years.
