SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Friday Lecture Series | Women Issuing Fatwas in Indonesia: Gender\, Authority\, and Everyday Legal Practice
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/W281w\n\nNor Ismah introduces a novel approach to examining fatwas (Islamic legal opinions) within the context of Indonesia\, with the aim of contributing to the broader field of Islamic Studies on fatwa-making. It advocates for a redirection of research attention towards women's fatwa-making\, emphasizing their lived experiences and the specific locales where they issue fatwas. By integrating Islamic studies frameworks with anthropological research and gender studies\, my presentation challenges the conventional concentration on male-dominated institutions\, highlighting the grassroots level practice of issuing fatwas\, particularly by women.\n   \n   She contends that fatwa-issuing institutions exhibit gendered structures that marginalize women from significant roles and recognition as Islamic scholars. Consequently\, an exploration of women's fatwa-making necessitates an examination of various interaction sites between female muftis and those seeking fatwas. These interactions unveil dynamic shifts in women's experiences\, religious authority\, and everyday fatwa-making practices influenced by context-specific resources. The active participation of women disrupts traditional norms\, challenging gendered structures within fatwa-making institutions.\n   \n   Additionally\, it signifies the evolution of doctrinal changes and ethical practices\, transforming fatwas from static outcomes into a dynamic and inclusive realm of interaction\, innovation\, and Islamic authority. The presentation argues that the success observed in Indonesia holds paramount importance for a comprehensive understanding of Muslim women's experiences in contemporary Muslim society. To achieve a holistic perspective\, the study recommends shifting the focus away from the Middle East and expanding research to encompass Muslims in other regions\, particularly Southeast Asia\, where the most populous Muslim country is situated. This shift is envisioned to offer a well-rounded depiction of the diverse experiences of Muslim women beyond the conventional geographical center of Islam.\n   \n   Nor Ismah is Deputy Director of the Institute of Southeast Asian Islam at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University in Indonesia. She holds a Master’s degree in Southeast Asian Studies from the School of Pacific and Asian Studies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa\, completing her studies in 2012 with the support of the Ford Foundation International Fellowship Program. From 2016 to 2023\, she pursued her PhD studies at the Leiden University Institute for Area Studies (LIAS)\, sponsored by the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education under the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia. Nor Ismah’s research focuses on Islam\, women's knowledge production\, and media. In recognition of her scholarly achievements\, Nor Ismah was awarded the Co2libri Early Career Researcher Fellowship at the Institute of Asian and African Studies\, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in 2023. She received the prestigious 2023-2024 Association of Asian Studies Gosling-Lim Postdoctoral Fellowship in Southeast Asian Studies\, which is hosted by and has brought her to the Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at cseas@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: The Media of History
DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores the intricate ways in which history is mediated to us\, and how different mediums shape our understanding of the past and its connection to the present. With perspectives from anthropology\, history\, and sociology\, this panel investigates the forms of media that contextualize the histories we write and that societies consume. From radio to TikTok\, this workshop moves beyond the content to critically examine the frameworks and possibilities these forms offer for scholarly engagement.\n\nTori Herzig-Deribin (Graduate Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nJohn Mirsky (Graduate Student\, Sociology\, University of Michigan)\nKristi Rhead (Graduate Student\, Anthropology and History\, University of Michigan)\nHelmut Puff (moderator\, Elizabeth L. Eisenstein Collegiate Professor of History and Germanic Languages\, 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:ESDM Parent Training Group – Spring 2024
DESCRIPTION:The University Center for the Child and Family is offering a new virtual session for the ESDM Parent Training Group in Spring 2024. The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based treatment model for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The group is designed for parents and caregivers with children ages 5 and under who have diagnosed or suspected ASD or a Developmental Delay.\n\nThe parent training group is designed to teach parents these strategies to increase the number of intervention hours that young children receive. A secondary goal is to support parents of children with ASD/Developmental Delays and help them develop a community of parents in a similar life stage. Since it is a parent training group\, children are welcome but not required to attend.\n\nRequirements:\n1. In order to enroll in the group\, the caregiver must have a child ages 5 or under who has diagnosed or suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder or developmental delay (e.g. speech delay\, Global Developmental Delay etc). \n\n2. Participating families must attend one group screening/orientation session prior to the start of the group\, to ensure that they are a good fit for the group. This initial screening appointment will last approximately 30-45 minutes.\n\nWhen: 12 – 1 p.m. Fridays\, beginning January 26 (10 weeks).\nWhere: Online via Zoom\n\nProspective clients should call UCCF at (734) 615-7853 to schedule their orientation/screening appointment.
