SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Chicanas Changing History: The First 100 Symposium
DESCRIPTION:In-person and virtual registration: https://myumi.ch/3Qdx7\n\nChicanas Changing History: The First 100 Symposium at the University of Michigan is a two-day event that will explore how Chicana historians have transformed the way we do and understand history\, as well as who is included in U.S. history. The symposium will highlight the challenges Chicana historians have faced and continue to confront in the academy while we celebrate their outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the field of history\, with a particular focus on alumni and faculty from U-M. At this convening\, we will celebrate the official launch of the digital archive of The First 100: Chicanas Changing History\, which is maintained at the University of Michigan Library in Ann Arbor. The digital oral history archive is complemented by the project’s material artifacts\, which are housed at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington\, D.C.\n\nThe Chicanas Changing History symposium will include opening remarks by Dean Rosario Ceballo\, a keynote lecture by U-M alum Dr. Natalia Molina\, panel discussions\, public receptions\, an exhibition tour of La Raza Art and Media Collective\, 1975 – Today\, at the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)\, and a ribbon-cutting to officially launch the digital archive at the U-M Library.\n\nThrough oral histories\, data collection\, exhibitions\, and public programs\, this project honors the contributions of the first 100 Chicanas to earn doctoral degrees in any field of history. It is also an intervention: interrogating the academy’s organizational culture that systematically excludes Chicanas is at the core of this initiative. The First 100: Chicanas Changing History was founded by Dr. Lorena Chambers\, who received her doctorate from the History Department at the University of Michigan.\n\nJoin us February 20-21\, 2025\, to learn about this archival project and how and why we need initiatives like this to create positive change. All symposium events are free and open to all.\n\nParticipants: John Carson\, Rosario Ceballo\, Lorena Chambers\, David Choberka\, Elizabeth Cole\, Raevin Jimenez\, Earl Lewis\, Natalia Molina\, Edras Rodriguez-Torres\, George Sánchez\, ToniAnn D. Treviño\, and Félix Zamora Gómez.\n\nChicanas Changing History: The First 100 Symposium is organized by the Inclusive History Project\, the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies\, the U-M Library\, the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)\, and UMMA’s exhibition\, La Raza Art and Media Collective\, 1975-Today. It is presented in partnership with the LSA Latina/o Studies Program\, LSA Department of American Culture\, Stamps School of Art & Design\, and the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies.\n\nAfter the symposium\, recordings of the events will be shared with registrants and posted on the IHP website. \n\nFor questions or more information\, please contact inclusivehistory@umich.edu.\n\n--\n\nEvent Schedule:\n\nDay 1\nThursday\, February 20\, 2025\, 4:00pm – 7:00pm\nUniversity of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)\, 525 South State St.\, Ann Arbor\, MI\, USA 48109\n\n4:00pm – 5:30pm\n\nWelcome\, opening remarks\, and introductions by Elizabeth Cole\, Dean Rosario Ceballo\, and John Carson\n\nDocumenting Our Place in History keynote lecture by Natalia Molina\n\nQ&A\n\n5:30pm – 7:00pm\nReception with light fare in the Vertical Gallery\n\nExhibition tours of La Raza Art and Media Collective\, 1975–Today by co-curators David Choberka and Félix Zamora Gómez\n\nDay 2\nFriday\, February 21\, 2025\, 10:30am – 2:00pm\nHatcher Graduate Gallery\, Hatcher Library North\, First Floor\, Room 100\, 913 S.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Turning the Tide? The Potential Role of Marine-Based Carbon Dioxide Removal in Combatting Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Wil Burns\, Co-Director\, Institute for Responsible Carbon Removal\, American University & Associate Director\, Environmental Policy & Culture Program\, Northwestern University.\n\nIn the ensuing years after the entry into force of the Paris Agreement\, it has become increasingly obvious that achievement of its temperature objectives will require both aggressive emissions reduction initiatives and large-scale deployment of carbon dioxide removal/negative emissions technologies to either avoid passing critical climatic thresholds or address temperature “overshoot” scenarios. While much of the early research of carbon dioxide removal methods focused on terrestrial approaches\, there has been increasing attention to the potential role of the world’s oceans given both sustainability considerations and the fact that oceans already serve as a huge carbon sink\, with much additional potential for storing carbon. These options include ocean iron fertilization\, ocean alkalinization enhancement\, ocean upwelling/downwelling\, ocean biomass sinking.\n\nHowever\, research in this context\, as well as potential large-scale deployment of such options\, also poses potentially substantial risks to marine environments and key economic stakeholders. Moreover\, there is likely to be substantial public backlash to research absent the existence of a sound regulatory framework for risk assessment\, monitoring\, and public deliberation.\nThis presentation will include the potential risks and benefits posed by different ocean-based carbon dioxide removal options. It will also include a discussion of regulatory efforts to date by international treaty regimes\, and other potentially pertinent regimes\, including those with a marine regulatory focus\, as well as the potential role of the UNFCCC/Paris Agreement.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Michelle Hinojosa: Logcabins
DESCRIPTION:Stamps Gallery commissioned Michelle Hinojosa (MFA\, 2023) to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the Gallery. Hinojosa has created log cabin quilts to adorn the columns in front of Stamps Gallery. The log cabin quilts traditionally represent the warm hearth at the center of a home. This installation reflects on the interplay between home\, placemaking\, labor\, and intergenerational memories of migration. Rather than quilting cotton designed to softly embrace the body\, these quilts are sewn from outdoor grade\, UV-resistant polyester. The quilt is an ode to Hinojosa’s grandmother who illegally crossed the US/Mexico border holding her babies and her quilts. As she and her family drove across the United States to work in the fields of the Salinas Valley\, the quilts offered a safe space for her and her family. Hinojosa celebrates their resilience to her grandmother and elders while also drawing attention to precarity and violence experienced by refugees and migrants crossing the US-Mexico border in our present today.\nArtist’s bio:\nMichelle Inez Hinojosa is an artist\, educator\, and researcher whose work is informed by Indigenous and Latine/x/a/o studies. Born and raised in Texas\, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in both drawing and painting and art education with a minor in art history at the University of North Texas. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan. She works with quilting\, bead weaving\, embroidery\, jewelry\, transparent film installations\, painting\, ceramics\, and sculpture to honor and explore the history of migration in her family and humanize the current discourse around migration still occurring at the southern border. Alongside her artwork she maintains a writing practice to re-story\, re-make\, and re-claim the often subordinated narratives of Latinx\, Chicanx\, Mexican\, and Texican peoples. \n\nRecently\, Hinojosa was named an inaugural Creative Careers Artist in Residence at the University of Michigan\, she has also attended residencies at Mildred's Lane (Pennsylvania)\, Anderson Ranch Art Center (Aspen\, CO) and The Cedars Union (Dallas\, TX).
