SUMMARY:Presentation:ChE 230 Poster Session
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in learning more about Chemical Engineering?\n\nYou're invited to join us for the ChE 230 project presentations on Monday\, November 20 from 10:30-11:30 a.m. in Duderstadt Center atrium and connector hallway to learn more about the real-world applications of chemical engineering in various industries and research fields. \n\nChE 230 students were asked to identify a process in their field of interest that involves chemical engineering\, develop a flow diagram for the process and identify core and elective ChE courses they would need to work on the process.\n\nOver 20 groups will discuss their projects including chocolate production\, sourdough manufacturing\, coal liquefaction and many others!\n\nThis is a great opportunity to explore the many industry and specialization options available to ChE students.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CMENAS Fall 2023 Colloquium Series Lecture: The Post-spectacle City: The Politics of Space\, Nation\, and Multispecies Belonging After Dubai Expo 2020 and the 2022 Qatar World Cup
DESCRIPTION:This paper takes as its starting point Gulf cities as multispecies places where human-nonhuman encounters and forms of kinship inform larger questions of urban belonging\, racialization\, and economic precarity. It is an exploratory paper based on initial observations from multispecies ethnographic research I have recently started conducting in the UAE and within online animal welfare groups for the Gulf region. I use the cases of Dubai Expo 2020 and Qatar’s 2022 World Cup to consider how large-scale urban development and shifting state policies have impacted both human and nonhuman residents\, as well as the relationships between them. These spectacular events and the planning around them have particularly affected already-precarious populations like low-wage immigrants from Asia and Africa and stray cats and dogs. The entangled precarities between species are made visible through new urban geographies\, state rhetorics of multiculturalism and tolerance\, the effects of COVID-19\, and policies aimed at producing sustainable cities and environmentally conscious citizens.\n   \n   Neha Vora is a Professor of Anthropology in the Department of International Studies at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. Her research and teaching interests include diasporas and migration\, citizenship\, globalized higher education\, gender\, liberalism\, political economy\, and human-nonhuman encounters\, primarily in the Arabian Peninsula region. She is the author of *Impossible Citizens: Dubai’s Indian Diaspora *(Duke University Press\, 2013) and *Teach for Arabia: American Universities\, Liberalism\, and Transnational Qatar *(Stanford University Press\, 2018). She has also published a co-authored book with Ahmed Kanna and Amelie Le Renard\, *Beyond Exception: New Interpretations of the Arabian Peninsula *(Cornell University Press\, 2020). Her current research project is examining animal care work in the Gulf and the shifting precarities for both immigrants and the unhoused animals they care for within post-Covid economic conditions and emergent state sustainability discourses and policies.\n   \n   This event is part of the CMENAS Fall Colloquium 2023: “The MENA world after a MENA World Cup” 555 Weiser Hall\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor.\n   \n   Colloquium questions: cmenas@umich.edu\n   \n   This series is funded in part by the Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies (CMENAS) U.S. Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center (NRC) grant.\n   \n   To register\, go to https://myumi.ch/8eA8n.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Global South Gender and Sexuality Studies Collective Series
DESCRIPTION:As a part of the Global South Gender and Sexuality Studies Collective Series\, Professor Raevin Jimenez (UMich Department of History) will be giving a talk.\n\nTitle: Gendered Mutualism in Southeast Africa: Personhood and Society in Deep-time Historical Perspective\n\nAbstract: This talk tells the story of the earliest Nguni-speakers - ancestors of Zulu and Xhosa speech communities - as they made their way out of the South African Highveld in the ninth century and across southeasternmost Africa over the next millennium. As they moved\, they responded to a crisis in environment and society that left them disconnected from their ancestors and former neighbors\, seeking new identities and relationships among Khoisan foragers. In a new multicultural space\, increasingly diverse Nguni-speaking communities used rites of passage\, gendered institutions\, identities\, and relationships to forge concepts and practices of morality. Gendered morality established ties between dispersed populations and among people without shared ancestry that in turn shaped ideas about power and belonging. In response to this history\, I present the framework of gendered mutualism\, in which gender emerged through unique speech patterns and social bonds neither universally available nor fully embodied.
