SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bookworm #76 - Author Conversation with Laura Helton \"Scattered and Fugitive Things: How Black Collectors Created Archives and Remade History\"  with Jason Young
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will discuss my recent book\, Scattered and Fugitive Things: How Black Collectors Created Archives and Remade History. This book tells the story of a remarkable generation of early twentieth-century bibliophiles\, librarians\, and scrapbook makers who dedicated themselves to documenting the history of African American life at a time when dominant institutions cast doubt on the value or even the idea of Black history. Traveling from the parlors of the urban north to HBCU reading rooms and branch libraries in the Jim Crow south\, Scattered and Fugitive Things draws on overlooked sources--such as book lists and card catalogs--to reveal the risks these collectors took to create Black archives. The book also explores the social life of collecting\, highlighting the communities that used these collections from the South Side of Chicago to Roanoke\, Virginia. In each case\, archiving was alive in the present\, a site of intellectual experiment\, creative abundance\, and political possibility.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Compensating & Recognizing Community Partners: Guidance for Faculty\, Researchers & Administrators at R1 Universities
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by Ginsberg Center\, OVPR PE+RI\, Engaged Learning Office - UMSI\, Detroit URC\, LSA Research Office\, and Office of the Associate Dean for Research\, Michigan Engineering \n\nCommunity partners make incredible contributions to research and student learning at U-M through their involvement in research projects\, course assignments\, clinical experiences\, advisory boards\, student internships\, guest speaking\, and more. While compensation for community partners is a foundation of ethical community-engagement practice\, the complex administrative and financial systems of R1 universities are not designed to easily facilitate such compensation.\n\nJoin us for an extraordinary panel of community engagement professionals from TRUCEN to share findings from their national survey of R1 universities on the challenges associated with compensating community partners who contribute to community engagement initiatives. In this session\, members of the TRUCEN Sustained Conversation Group on Cultivating Community Voice will discuss principles and philosophy for compensating partners that advocates can use in conversations with your colleagues in procurement\, finance\, HR\, fundraising\, and senior leadership. Our goal will be for attendees to consider how these principles and practices intersect with the University of Michigan’s institutional context\, and begin to identify next steps to simplify processes\, and reduce delays\, for compensating your community partners. The workshop will preview content being developed for a toolkit which will provide community engagement professionals and faculty members with 1) talking points to make a case for compensating community partners and 2) examples of promising processes and practices used by campuses across the country.\n\nFeaturing:\n\nDouglas Barrera - Associate Director for Faculty and Community Engagement\, UCLA Center for Community Engagement\, UCLA\nLaurel Hirt - Director of the Center for Community-Engaged Learning\, University of Minnesota\nMindi Levin - Founder and Director of SOURCE\, the community engagement and service-learning center of Johns Hopkins University Schools of Public Health\, Nursing\, and Medicine.\nMichelle Snitgen - Assistant Director\, Academic Programs\, Center for Community Engaged Learning\, Michigan State University\nChan Williams - Assistant Director for Academics and Operations\, MDP Program & Paul D. Coverdell Fellowship Program Coordinator\, Emory University\n\nOpen to faculty\, staff/admin\, post-docs & graduate students. This session is not open to undergraduate students.\n\nRegister Here: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/87945
