SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Qahwah & Authors: Sherine Hamdy's New Graphic Novel\, *Landing in Place*
DESCRIPTION:RSVP: https://myumi.ch/8Jx93\nDate: November 4\, 4:30 PM ET\nLocation: 555 Weiser Hall (5th Floor)\, 500 Church Street\, Ann Arbor MI\n\nJoin the Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC) on November 4\, 2026\, at 4:30 PM in 555 Weiser Hall\, University of Michigan\, for a Qahwah & Authors book series author talk on LANDING IN PLACE\, Sherine Hamdy's coming-of-age graphic novel about Anisa\, a second-generation Egyptian-Muslim American college girl navigating identity\, culture\, religion\, and family.\n\nBalancing humor with family tragedy and moments of joy amid political trauma\, LANDING IN PLACE weaves together personal and global histories\, spanning the Suez Crisis of 1956\, the 2011 Arab Spring protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square\, and contemporary global protests for Palestinian rights. Through Anisa’s experiences as a young\, hijab-wearing Muslim woman\, Hamdy explores how migration to and diaspora in the United States\, and neocolonialism and foreign intervention in Egypt and the Global South shape individual lives and family histories. LANDING IN PLACE begins as a story shaped by migrant and exile frustration and external assumptions about Muslim women\, and evolves into one that celebrates Muslim identity and cultures\, and the power of finding one’s voice.\n\nThis event is brought to you by the University of Michigan Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC) and the Arab and Muslim American Studies (AMAS) Program in the Department of American Culture.\n\nAbout Sherine Hamdy: Sherine Hamdy is a Professor of Anthropology at the University of California Irvine\, where she joined the faculty in 2017. She was previously a tenured faculty member at Brown University since 2006. She has published widely on the themes of Muslim medical ethics\, the political economic distribution of disease in Egypt\, and the role of physicians in the Arab spring uprisings. Her first book Our Bodies Belong to God: Organ Transplants\, Islam\, and the Struggle for Human Dignity in Egypt was published by the University of California Press in 2012. Hamdy also inaugurated the University of Toronto Press graphic novel series ethnoGRAPHIC with her co-authored graphic novel Lissa: A Story of Friendship\, Medical Promise\, and Revolution\, which combines panel-to-panel comics narration with her medical anthropology research. In 2026\, Penguin Random House published Hamdy's graphic novel Landing in Place\, illustrated by Myra El Mir. Hamdy currently serves as Series Editor for the University of Toronto Press ethnoGRAPHIC series\, and encourages academics to adopt multiple media forms in their distribution of research findings.\n\nFor more events from the Global Islamic Studies Center at the University of Michigan\, please visit ii.umich.edu/islamicstudies.\n\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY26 - 27
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.
