SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop for students that introduces principles and practices of equitable\, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.\n\nhttps://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/19663

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Yun Emily Wang\, \"Listening for Otherwise Aliveness\"
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Musicology hosts a talk by guest scholar Yun Emily Wang (Duke University)\; free and open to the public.\n\nWang describes her lecture:\n\n\"This talk is an ethnography of listening in what I will call the Chinese Canadian Care Home for the Aged\, a residential proto-medical institution in one of Toronto’s “ethnoburbs.” Established by and serving Chinese immigrants\, the Care Home relies on liberal celebrations of “culturally appropriate care” to promise successful aging\, and maintains funding by performing a Chineseness legible to the “cunning” of Canadian Multiculturalism (Povinelli 2002). Music shoulders the burden of “culture” across hundreds of residents\, staff\, and volunteers from across the diaspora: Karaoke Wednesdays and Opera Fridays punctuate the daily repetition of Cantopop broadcast\, between live performances of recognizably traditional Chinese genres. In the Care Home\, culturally appropriate *music* comes to signal life\, against the hums and beeps of breathing machines foretelling death. \n\nDrawing on fieldwork from 2014-2015\, I juxtapose a diversity of ways in which members of the Care Home community have aurally engaged with (or refused) what amounts to a biopolitical regime of sound-as-life. I trace how an alternative conception of life – one that far exceeds heart beats and is grounded\, always\, in vitality and enjoyment – emerged in the social cultivation and circulation of these praxis of otherwise listening. In so doing\, I hope to offer not answers but an open question about how the ear mediates possibilities for otherwise aliveness.\"
