SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Towards a Decolonial Methodology
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Serhii Plokhii’s work in deconstructing imperial Russian historical narratives\, this workshop questions to what extent state-centered approaches have bound the historical imagination of our various fields and defined the topics that count as significant. Via utilizing ulterior archives\, including: the publications of Iranian student activists in 1970s’ France\, novels of famous Kyrgyz authors\, folk songs connected to plantation labor\, and imagined conversations with SS commanders – our four speakers each seek to “decolonize” hegemonic narratives\, and\, in so doing\, create decolonial methodologies for research.\n\nPanelists:\n\nChandrica Barua (Graduate Student\, English Language and Literature\, University of Michigan)\nAzhar Dyussekenova (Graduate Student\, Slavic Languages and Literatures\, University of Michigan)\nKeanu M. Heydari (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nSara Ruiz (Graduate Student\, Slavic Languages and Literatures\, University of Michigan)\nSikandar Kumar (Postdoctoral Fellow\, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, University of Michigan)\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop 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\n**This workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering\, Engaging\, and Exiting (E3) session. If you’ve attended that session in the past\, you’ll gain additional knowledge from this session.**\n\nRegister for a Session Here: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/16509

SUMMARY:Presentation:From Lubaina Himid to the Battle of Bamber Bridge: Curating and Narrating Black Atlantic Stories in British Museums and Communities
DESCRIPTION:Visiting Fulbright Scholar Professor Alan Rice (DAAS\, UMICH) will discuss a range of his work as curator\, academic and activist in Lancashire\, Great Britain. As a scholar of the Black Atlantic he has curated and co-curated exhibitions with Black British artists including the Turner Prize winner\, Lubaina Himid\, Godfried Donkor\, textile artist Althea McNish and rising stars Jade de Montserrat and Lela Harris. This talk will showcase these curatorial interventions including work with the Whitworth on their Trade and Empire exhibition where together with his co-curators he used extant objects to tell new stories about slavery and exploitation. \n\nMore recent work in Lancaster focuses on its history as the fourth largest slave port and uses the work of Black British artists to challenge the elision of difficult histories. He will discuss how he\, together with Lancaster Black History Group\, uses the work of Himid\, de Montserrat and Harris to get African Atlantic representation into the heart of the museum. His final short case study will show how together with Preston Black History Group he has worked with the community in Bamber Bridge to memorialise the widely forgotten story of a mutiny against Jim Crow segregation by African American troops in a small village in Lancashire. Overall\, he will discuss the importance of activist interventions as an academic and curator.
