SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Branford Marsalis - A life of art and engagement
DESCRIPTION:Grammy-winning saxophonist Branford Marsalis will take time from his performance schedule to share his insights into the relationship between art\, culture\, and public policy and activism. He will look back at his career\, which has spanned jazz and classical music\, Broadway and tv\, pop music collaborations\, and his deep involvement in his hometown of New Orleans.\n\nSpeaker bio:\n\nGrowing up in the rich environment of New Orleans as the oldest son of pianist and educator Ellis Marsalis\, Branford was drawn to music along with his younger siblings Wynton\, Delfeayo\, and Jason. His first instrument\, the clarinet\, gave way to the alto\, and then the tenor and soprano saxophones\; from there\, he expanded his musical universe and now fully embraces both jazz and Western classical music\, in addition to a burgeoning career as a composer.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Chicanas Changing History: The First 100 Symposium
DESCRIPTION:In-person and virtual registration: https://myumi.ch/3Qdx7\n\nChicanas Changing History: The First 100 Symposium at the University of Michigan is a two-day event that will explore how Chicana historians have transformed the way we do and understand history\, as well as who is included in U.S. history. The symposium will highlight the challenges Chicana historians have faced and continue to confront in the academy while we celebrate their outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the field of history\, with a particular focus on alumni and faculty from U-M. At this convening\, we will celebrate the official launch of the digital archive of The First 100: Chicanas Changing History\, which is maintained at the University of Michigan Library in Ann Arbor. The digital oral history archive is complemented by the project’s material artifacts\, which are housed at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington\, D.C.\n\nThe Chicanas Changing History symposium will include opening remarks by Dean Rosario Ceballo\, a keynote lecture by U-M alum Dr. Natalia Molina\, panel discussions\, public receptions\, an exhibition tour of La Raza Art and Media Collective\, 1975 – Today\, at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)\, and a ribbon-cutting to officially launch the digital archive at the U-M Library.\n\nThrough oral histories\, data collection\, exhibitions\, and public programs\, this project honors the contributions of the first 100 Chicanas to earn doctoral degrees in any field of history. It is also an intervention: interrogating the academy’s organizational culture that systematically excludes Chicanas is at the core of this initiative. The First 100: Chicanas Changing History was founded by Dr. Lorena Chambers\, who received her doctorate from the History Department at the University of Michigan.\n\nJoin us February 20-21\, 2025\, to learn about this archival project and how and why we need initiatives like this to create positive change. All symposium events are free and open to all.\n\nParticipants: John Carson\, Rosario Ceballo\, Lorena Chambers\, David Choberka\, Elizabeth Cole\, Raevin Jimenez\, Earl Lewis\, Natalia Molina\, Edras Rodriguez-Torres\, George Sánchez\, ToniAnn D. Treviño\, and Félix Zamora Gómez.\n\nChicanas Changing History: The First 100 Symposium is organized by the Inclusive History Project\, the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, the U-M Library\, the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)\, and UMMA’s exhibition\, La Raza Art and Media Collective\, 1975-Today. It is presented in partnership with the LSA Latina/o Studies Program\, LSA Department of American Culture\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, and the Horace H.
