SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:LGBTQIA2S+ Grad Panel and Resource Fair
DESCRIPTION:Are you a graduate student in the LGBTQIA2S+ community? Do you want to hear from other students’ experiences in the community at the University of Michigan? Do you want to learn about the wealth of resources available and meet other queer and trans graduate students? Join Rackham Graduate School and the Spectrum Center as we host a graduate student panel and resource fair for graduate students in the LGBTQIA2S+ community. There will be food\, giveaways\, and opportunities to talk to other graduate students in the community. \n\nThis event is open to all graduate students at the University of Michigan and is especially designed to support LGBTQIA2S+ graduate students.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Renée Tamblyn\, Universität Bern
DESCRIPTION:Much of the surviving Archean continental crust is comprised of tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) suites\, leading to the question – how did they form? Geochemical\, experimental\, field\, and phase equilibrium forward modeling studies have identified basalt as a likely source of partial melting to form these ubiquitous TTGs\, pointing to the importance of metamorphic processes in the generation of the Earth’s crust. Fractionation of phases such as garnet and plagioclase during partial melting and subsequent fractional crystallization have been shown to shape the major and trace element chemistry of TTGs. Additionally\, the importance of free water available to assist in partial melting has been highlighted\, and likely is sourced from ultramafic lithologies such as komatiites.\n\nKomatiites are ultramafic (MgO > 18 wt. %) volcanic rocks found almost exclusively in Archean greenstone belts. They are extensively hydrated\, as they were serpentinised on the ocean floor after their eruption in oceanic plateaux-type settings. The dehydration of komatiites may play a role in tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) and therefore continental crust formation. Hydrated komatiites can retain their mineral-bound water to significant temperatures\, releasing up to 6 wt.% H2O between 500–800 °C. Burial\, underthrusting\, or subduction of the komatiites would cause them to release their water and trigger partial melting of basalts to form TTGs at these conditions. As such\, it appears that greenstone belts may contain the necessary ingredients to produce TTGs\, including alkaline\, tholeiitic\, and high-Mg basalts\, and komatiites. However\, they also contain Ca-rich sediments (greywackes)\, carbonates\, varied intrusive rocks\, felsic and mafic volcaniclastics\, and other clastic and chemical sediments\, which may also play a role in continental crust genesis. Modeling of partial melting of these lithologies can explore the types of melts produced during water-fluxed melting\, to further understand the processes which formed the earliest continental crust.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LACS Event. Indigenous Traditions of Resistance to Extractivism (Lecture & Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 20\, 2024 (Room 555\, Weiser Hall)\n\nWorkshop: 12-1:30 PM — “Palestinians and Native People are Comrades: The Political Economy of Oil and Indigenous-Palestinian Solidarity”\nRSVP is required to attend. Reading materials will be emailed before the workshop. Register at https://myumi.ch/5y1VW\n\nLecture: 4-6 PM — “Maoism Without Guarantees: Third World Influences on Fourth World Anti-Colonialism in Canada”\n\nThis event explores the impact of Third World Maoist ideologies on Fourth World anti-colonial movements in Canada. Through examining how global revolutionary ideas shaped Indigenous struggles for sovereignty and resistance to colonialism\, the discussion will offer insights into the intersections of global and local anti-colonial effort.\n   \nGlen Coulthard is an associate professor in First Nations and Indigenous Studies and in the Department of Political Science. Glen has written and published numerous articles and chapters in the areas of contemporary political theory\, indigenous thought and politics\, and radical social and political thought (marxism\, anarchism\, post-colonialism). His most recent work on Frantz Fanon and the politics of recognition won Contemporary Political Theory’s Annual Award for Best Article of the Year in 2007. He is Yellowknives Dene.\n\nCosponsors: Department of Anthropology\, Department of Political Science\, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures\, LSA Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion\, and Institute for the Humanities\n\nFunding for this event was partially provided by the Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Office and the Institute for Humanities departments in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts (LSA).
