SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Donia Human Rights Center Annual Martin Luther King\, Jr. Lecture | Racial Justice in the Inter-American System of Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom. Zoom registration at https://myumi.ch/Dr32j\n\nThe Inter-American Human Rights system serves as a vital mechanism for promoting equity and addressing systemic discrimination in the Americas and Caribbean region. The Inter-American system has played a crucial role in combating racial and intersectional discrimination. Key to its work is the work of expert bodies or \"Rapporteurs\,\" including one monitoring the conditions of Afro-descendants. Our speaker will discuss the mandate\, mechanisms\, tools\, and initiatives of the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights as well as the Rapporteurship on Afro- descendants and their contributions to promoting racial justice in the Americas.\n\nCommissioner Gloria de Mees was elected by the General Assembly of the OAS during its 53th Regular Period of Sessions\, for a four-year term from January 1\, 2024 through December 31\, 2027. She is a human rights lecturer at the Anton de Kom University of Suriname. Her focus\, as a legal expert\, included the Collective Rights of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples\, and Human Rights of Older Persons. Standing out in her human rights career are advising nationally on the Inter-American Human Rights System\, legislation and policy\, in addition to advocating for the rights of marginalized communities. In this sense\, she was a member of the Group of Experts advising the National Assemblée of the Republic of Suriname on the Bill on Collective Rights of Indigenous and Tribal Peoples\; she served as the Secretary of the Bureau of the Agent of State to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights\; she has also been actively involved in the formulation of the Bill establishing the National Human Rights Institute as well as in the drafting of country reports for reporting to several UN Treaty Bodies. She is a citizen of Suriname.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at wesleywr@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - The dual role of parental conflict in speciation
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Seminar Series.\n\nDetermining what factors generate biodiversity is a central question in evolutionary biology. Despite its long history of study\, we are only beginning to understand the evolutionary drivers of reproductive barriers between species\, including reproductive barriers that manifest as sterile or dead hybrids. An intriguing hypothesis is that intragenomic conflicts- or selfish evolution- can drive the evolution of alleles that cause hybrid sterility/inviability. One such source of conflict is conflict between parents over resource allocation to offspring. Under parental conflict\, multiple paternity drives the evolution of paternally derived\, resource-acquiring alleles\, and maternally derived alleles that distribute resources equally among offspring. In hybrids\, mismatches between these parent-of-origin effect alleles can cause inappropriate development of placenta or endosperm\, and subsequently embryo death. Here\, I test the role of parental conflict in generating one of the most common intrinsic barriers in seed angiosperms- hybrid seed inviability-using members of the evolutionary and ecological model system\; the Mimulus guttatus species complex. I show that hybrid seed inviability has evolved rapidly and repeatedly in this group\, and patterns of HSI conform to the predictions of parental conflict. Additionally\, genetic mapping suggests that hybrid seed inviability is conferred by nuclear\, parent-of-origin effect loci (i.e. loci that affect the probability of death only if maternally or paternally derived). Lastly\, using a series of natural surveys and mixed pollination crosses\, I find that species with different histories of parental conflict frequently co-occur and hybridize\, and hybridization between species with differing histories of parental conflict can indirectly influence growth in intraspecific seeds. Overall\, this work highlights a dual role of parental conflict in the speciation process\; both in the origin of reproductive isolation\, but also in the dynamics and outcomes of hybridization in nature.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Between Home and Exile: Binational Living and Longing at the US-Mexico Border
DESCRIPTION:Mexican immigrants and migrants have been crossing back and forth along the US Mexico border for 150 years\, and yet exile is most often associated with the political migrations that took place during the Mexican Revolution. This lecture will address the tensions between forced and voluntary exile of Mexican migrants over the years\, as well as how we might grapple with notions of exile as they relate to economic and violent displacement. It will also discuss the many meanings of home\, especially for migrants forging binational lives and livelihoods. Centrally\, it will focus on the affective impacts of exile—the longing and the missing of homes and families on the other side of the border.\n\nLarisa Veloz is a professor of history at the University of Texas at El Paso\, where she teaches the histories of Mexican migration\, Latin America and the Latinx diaspora\, and the US-Mexico borderlands. Her book \"‘Even the Women are Leaving’: Migrants Making Mexican America\, 1890-1965\,\" published in 2023 by University of California Press\, explores the histories of Mexican migrant families\, focusing on women and gender relations in the first part of the twentieth century. Her current project is based on a set of oral histories/testimonios of Mexican migrant women who came to the United States in the 60s\, 70s\, and 80s.\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.
