SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Existing Differently: A Regional Training in Visionary Organizing for the Great Lakes Region
DESCRIPTION:College students are faced with a serious set of problems. They have to navigate an unpredictable economy\, an ever-evolving relationship with technology\, a changing climate\, and weakening social ties. Solving these problems requires skills that empower them to become leaders who can make their material needs for survival and their nonmaterial needs for well-being equally important. \n\nTo support student leadership development\, Visionary Organizing Lab and Student Life Sustainability at the University of Michigan are partnering to host the Great Lakes Regional Training in Visionary Organizing—a 4.5-day immersive experience in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. This training is open to undergraduate students from midwestern universities who are curious about social change or already engaged in addressing social and community challenges.\n\nFrom November 12-16\, students will be engaged in experiential learning about the components of Visionary Organizing\, leadership\, imagination building\, and relationship building. We will eat meals communally and nights can be spent however you prefer. All learning will be workshop based and through large and small group discussions will put students' personal experiences in conversation with larger historical and structural factors. The tentative schedule is:\n\nWednesday\, November 12\n2pm - 5pm | Arrival\, hotel & conference check-ins\, and orientation\n5pm - 7pm | Community dinner & introductions\n\nThursday\, November 13 \n9am-12pm | Connecting to and Trusting Our Inner Wisdom Workshop\n1pm - 4pm | Locating Ourselves in Systems and History Workshop\n5pm - 7pm | Dinner and community-building activities\n\nFriday\, November 14\n9am-12pm | Recognizing and Nurturing Interdependence / Imagining New Possibilities Workshop\n1pm - 2:30pm | Affirming Dignity Workshop\n2:30pm - 5pm | Tour of VOL-informed sustainability projects at University of Michigan\n6pm - 8pm | Dinner and community-building activities\n\nSaturday\, November 15\n9am-12pm | Experimenting with Transformation workshop and group work\n1pm - 4pm | Experimenting with Transformation workshop and group work\n5pm - 7pm | Dinner and community-building activities\n\nSunday\, November 16\n9am-11am | Optional individual/team work time\n11am - 1pm | Students present visions & community-based projects\n1pm - 3pm | Students commit to next steps\n3pm - 4pm | Wrap up & departure\n\nNote: Breakfast and lunch will be provided every day.\n\nApplication required!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:ICE in the Heartland: Community Impacts of Worksite Immigration Raids
DESCRIPTION:ICE in the Heartland showcases a multifaceted project that gathers and disseminates the stories of communities impacted by immigration worksite raids with the aim of bringing underrepresented narratives to news media\, classroom\, and public discourse. This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.
