As a teenager she absorbed the country music of Loretta Lynn\, Merle Haggard\, and Johnny Cash\, as well as the folk classics of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Her 1992 debut album\, \"Infamous Angel\,\" distilled these influences into a poetic yet down-to-earth songwriting style. With a heartfelt\, homespun voice that listeners recognize instantly\, Iris released some of the most powerful roots albums of the 1990s with the beautifully sparse \"My Life\" and the harder-edged \"The Way I Should.\" She has continued to make powerful and distinctive albums on her own schedule\, and her latest\, just out\, is “Workin’ on a World.” This striking collection of songs faces the modern world—as it is right now—with its climate catastrophe\, pandemic illness\, and epidemic of violence and social injustice. The album not only asks us how we can keep working towards a better world\, but implores us to love each other\, despite our very different ways of seeing. Her songs are her way of healing our broken inner and outer spaces.\n\nhttps://irisdement.com/ UID:120368-21844620@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/120368 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Concert,Music,Mutotix LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240828T183209 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240813T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240813T204500 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Teach For America Corps Info Session DESCRIPTION:Interested in learning more about Teach For America and jump-starting a purpose-driven career? Join us for an upcoming informational session where you'll discover who we are\, what we do\, and how our programs work. The first 30 minutes will address the most common questions we receive: \; \;1. What is Teach For America? \;2. What and where will I teach? \;3. What will my salary and finances look like? \;4. How does teacher certification work? \;5. How will I be trained and supported? \;Our remaining time will be spent in open Q&\;A\, at which point you can get your specific questions answered. We will also be sending follow-up resources ahead of our application deadline on September 16th. We hope to see you there!***This session will focus on the Corps Member opportunity. We are now accepting applications for a Summer 2025 training start date for college seniors\, grad students\, and professionals.

Through research\, narratives\, demographic data\, and a variety of visual and published materials\, explore multifaceted aspects of mixed race heritage with insights from many perspectives.\n\nThe 2020 U.S. Census illuminated a 276 percent increase in individuals who identify as \"two or more races\" since 2010. In recognition of the growing numbers of mixed race-identifying people at the University of Michigan\, throughout the country\, and across the globe\, we're excited to unveil this new exhibit — a unique exploration of changing demographics and intersectional identities.\n\n[The Hatcher Library will be closed December 21 to January 1.] UID:121281-21846248@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/121281 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library (2nd floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20240807T124722 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240814T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240814T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MIDAS - ICPSR Social Data Science Summer Academy DESCRIPTION:The MIDAS-ICPSR Social Data Science Summer Academy is a week-long hybrid program hosted collaboratively by the Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) and the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR).
