SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Untamed Shrews: Negotiating New Womanhood in Modern China
DESCRIPTION:We regret that Siqi Zheng\, MIT\, had to cancel her talk for April 16th due to unforeseen circumstances. She will be rescheduling to the Fall Term 2024 lecture series.\n\nIf you would like to attend this lecture via Zoom\, please register at https://myumi.ch/zXwJd\n\nThis lecture traces the evolution of unruly women in Chinese literature and culture\, from the reviled “shrew” to the celebrated “new woman.” Rather than meeting her demise\, the shrew persisted\, and her negative qualities became the basis for many forms of the new woman\, ranging from the early Republican suffragettes and Chinese Noras\, to the Communist and socialist radicals. This lecture focuses on the yinfu (wanton woman) and revolution from the women’s suffrage movement to Jiang Qing and the Yan’an campaign.\n\nShu Yang is an Associate Professor in the Department of World Languages and Literatures at Western Michigan University\, specializing in literary\, cultural and gender studies on modern China. She has published in leading journals including *Gender & History*\, *Nan Nü*\, *CLEAR*\, and *Modern Chinese Literature and Culture*. Her recent book *Untamed Shrews* came out under the Cornell East Asia Series by Cornell University Press (July 2023). Now Shu Yang is continuing her exploration of gender and modernity by writing on the discourse of hysteria in Republican China.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MICDE Ph.D. Student Seminar: Anna Halstenbach and Katie Nissen
DESCRIPTION:Anna Halstenbach will present \"Uncovering the network of political parties' event sponsors in Germany\". \n\nGray money in politics - those contributions that don't fall under transparency regulations but cannot be made completely anonymous either\, for example sponsorships of political parties' events - could change our understanding of money as a signal. However\, the fact that neither political parties nor firms are obliged to disclose such transactions makes studying them difficult. In the talk\, I will present one approach to measure gray money on the basis of tweets from party conferences.\n\n*Bio*:\nAnna earned her Bachelor's degree from the University of Mannheim and her Master's degree from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. Her current research analyzes the distinct incentives within the regulatory frameworks governing political party finances in Germany and the United States. Additionally\, she explores the impact of consumer behavior on firms' decisions to be vocal about their political donations and take controversial political stances.\n\n\nKatie Nissen will present \"Climate Change Protests and Gender: The Influence of Role Incongruence on Support for Social Movements\".\n\nIn recent years\, we have seen an increase in the incidences of radical protests about climate change in response to lackluster mitigation efforts worldwide. Historically\, the environmental movement as a whole has long been an issue space where women have held prominent leadership positions. However\, role congruity theory posits that women – due to being perceived as more passive and docile than men – may not be regarded as “proper” leaders of social movements\, especially when such movements use radical tactics. How does the interaction of protest tactics and leadership gendering affect support for the current climate movement? In this paper\, we report the results of a pilot survey experiment to address this question. Respondents were exposed to mock news stories about climate protests where they received one of four treatment conditions that varied the protest characteristics between combinations of radical/traditional tactics and women leadership/gender of leadership not specified. Respondents were then asked to report on their level of support for the movement\, level of support for the protest\, and the likelihood of the movement’s success. We also asked respondents to write in their most important reason for supporting the movement or not\, to which we applied basic topic modelling to extract key themes. Ultimately\, our pilot results show support for notion that radical protest tactics harm both support and perceptions of the movement\, but that gender of the protest leadership does not make a significant difference. We believe that the latter result is most likely due to weakness of the gender treatment in the survey experiment\, so future iterations of this work will seek to develop a stronger prime for this component of our analysis. \n\n*Bio*:\nKatie is a current fourth year Joint PhD Candidate in Political Science and Scientific Computing. Her research is primarily about factors that influence climate change discourse and public opinion\, and her dissertation will focus on the effects of optimism and pessimism on climate attitudes. \n\n\nThe MICDE PhD Student Seminar Series showcases the research of students in the Ph.D. in Scientific Computing. These events are open to the public.\n\nIf you have any questions\, please email micde-events@umich.edu.

What \"arts\" did Americans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries use to resist various forms of power? The exhibit aims to show how the people of our nation's past tried to answer those questions\n\nExhibit Hours: Monday - Friday - Noon - 4 pm\n\nLink to online exhibit:https://clements.umich.edu/exhibit/the-art-of-resistance/

SUMMARY:Performance:Tiffany Ng\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:University Carillonist Tiffany Ng performs on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower. The largest bell\, which strikes the hour\, weighs 12 tons\, while the smallest bell\, 4½ octaves above\, weighs just 15 pounds.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Charles Baird Carillon at noon every weekday that classes are in session\, followed by visitor Q&A with the carillonist. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8)\, and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Earplugs are available from the carillonist upon request.
