SUMMARY:Exhibition:Redefining the Crown
DESCRIPTION:In Winter 2025\, the Lane Hall exhibit space will feature a portraiture series titled Redefining the Crown showcasing the powerful stories of six Black breast cancer survivors.\n\nBased on a photo essay by U-M Faculty Versha Pleasant (MD/MPH) and Ava Purkiss (PhD) in Medicine at Michigan\, this exhibition examines the cultural and personal significance of hair within Black communities\, particularly through the lens of breast cancer treatment and recovery. The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG\, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies\, and Michigan Medicine. \n\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S. State Street)\, the Exhibit Space is free and open to the public\, M-F\, 9am-4pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Bibliophile and the Library: Private-Press Books from the Collection of Bill Heidrich
DESCRIPTION:View beautifully illustrated books that stand as remarkable testaments to the work of twentieth-century small private presses\, which\, in contrast to the trend of mass commercialization\, produced limited editions that celebrated the uniqueness of manual craftsmanship. Features such as exquisite typeface design\, letterpress printing\, handmade paper\, traditional illustration techniques like woodcut and engraving\, and the inclusion of original art by renowned artists highlight the presses' dedication to artistry and detail.\n\nThe display opens with an edition of \"The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer\,\" published in 1896 by William Morris at his Kelmscott Press\, a pivotal press that greatly influenced the development of the private press movement as a means of preserving and revitalizing the fine printing and art traditions of the past. Additionally\, the exhibit includes some examples of artist’s proofs\, offering a glimpse into the intricate creative process behind these exceptional works.\n\nThese books are on loan from the collection of Bill Heidrich\, a long-time supporter of the University of Michigan Library.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CAS Workshop. Becoming and Unbecoming Imperial Subjects: Mobility\, Exclusion\, and (Real/Discursive) Borders
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores the making and unmaking of Ottoman imperial subjecthood\, and its legacy in the post-Ottoman states. It investigates the bureaucratic and legal reforms that enabled to define the Ottoman membership and the limits of belonging. Although the term “imperial citizenship” gained popularity in recent decades\, there are doubts about whether citizenship is suitable for the age of empires\, since imperial subjecthood was based on a rule of difference and exclusion rather than equality. By contextualizing the Ottoman nationality regime within other colonial empires of the late nineteenth century\, the workshop aims to demonstrate how colonial perceptions of governability and malleability informed the question of becoming Ottoman. The late Ottoman governments\, especially under Sultan Abdülhamid II and the Committee of Union and Progress perceived Ottoman nationality as a status that could be granted or revoked based on the perceived loyalty or sedition of various ethnoreligious communities.\n   \n   The workshop integrates the themes of mobility and nationality\, exploring how the management of nationality was intertwined with various forms of mobility\, such as non-Muslim emigration\, Muslim immigration\, pilgrimage\, exile\, and punitive displacement. The Ottoman state's differential treatment of the migrations of diverse ethnoreligious groups created a distinction among its subjects—some enjoyed the freedom to move with state permission\, while others faced forced relocation or restrictions on their mobility. This workshop convenes scholars who investigate how various ethnoreligious communities experienced Ottoman subjecthood across different regions\, including Istanbul\, the Ottoman East\, the Gulf\, Russian borderlands\, and the Balkans. The primary goal is to explore diverse perspectives on subjecthood\, nationality\, and citizenship\, and to assess the inclusivity or exclusivity of Ottoman nationality laws. The workshop aims to illuminate how the bureaucratic methods used to define Ottoman membership were integral to the broader governance strategies employed in the empire's final years.\n   \nWORKSHOP SCHEDULE\n\n9.45-10.00 Welcome & Opening Remarks\nGottfried Hagen & Hazal Özdemir\n\n10.00-11.15 Keynote: Jessica Marglin\, University of Southern California\nReligion and Legal Belonging in the Ottoman Empire: Lessons from the History of Extraterritoriality in the 18th and 19th Centuries\n\n11.15-11.30 Break\n\n11.30-1.30 - 1st panel: Becoming and Unbecoming Imperial Subjects\nDiscussant: Devi Mays (University of Michigan)\; Chair: Julia Phillips Cohen (Vanderbilt University)\n\n• Berke Torunoğlu\, Bilkent University\nCalculated Contradictions: Ottoman-Russian Cooperation on Defining Imperial Subjecthood\, 1858–1864\n\n• Leyla Amzi-Erdogdular\, Rutgers University\nTransimperial Subjects and Interimperial Competition in Habsburg Ottoman Bosnia Herzegovina\n\n• Camile Cole\, Illinois State University\nWhat Did it Mean to be Ottoman in the Gulf\, c. 1900?\n\n• Marie Bossaert\, Université Clermont Auvergne\nThe Contours of Italianity: Italian Citizenship in the Late Ottoman Empire\n\n\n1.30-2.30 Lunch for Workshop Participants\n\n2.30 – 4.15 - 2nd panel: Denationalization from Imperial Decree to Practice\nDiscussant: Melanie Tanielian (University of Michigan)\; Chair: Gottfried Hagen (University of Michigan)\n\n• Hazal Özdemir\, University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\nThe Price of Ottoman Nationality: How to Renounce Your Subjecthood at the Turn of the Twentieth Century?\n\n• Emmanuel Szurek\, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales\nEthnic Cleansing via Labor Regulation?
