SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar Series - Microbial responses to global change: from microscopic interactions to global patterns
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Summary - The Evans Lab studies microbial ecology and global change. We ask questions about how microbes respond to stressors like climate change\, particularly drought and floods\, and land use change like agricultural intensification. How microbes respond can affect a myriad of ecosystem services\, including soil fertility and crop growth\, and biogeochemical cycles. In this talk I highlight studies in our lab that span microscopic to global. First\, I'll talk about how (and whether) we can generalize microbial responses to a global change\, like drought. We used a network of rainout shelters to ask whether there were taxonomic or trait-based shifts in microbes under drought\, worldwide. We also extend this work to thinking about how microbes interact with plants to buffer plants under drought. Second\, I'll talk about a project investigating bacteria that fix nitrogen\, and how they interact with both the plant and other organisms in the soil\, like fungi. We hypothesized that bacterial-fungal interactions increased nitrogen fixation\, benefitting the plant\, and potentially reducing reliance on nitrogen fertilizers. I will also talk more generally about how these topics connect to global sustainability\, and relevant research at the Kellogg Biological Station Long Term Ecological Research Site.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: The Tribute: The 1963 March on Washington and the Gendered Politics of Freedom
DESCRIPTION:The 1963 March on Washington has become the standard bearer in American public memory for non-violent\, political demonstration. With Martin Luther King\, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream Speech” as one of the most recognizable moments of the event\, the depth and the nuance of the March on Washington and the movement that shaped has rarely surfaced among and academic and popular discourse. With attention to widening the frame in which to analyze the 1963 March on Washington\, historian Marcia Chatelain offers a new reading of the March from the vantage point of the gender dynamics that undoubtedly shaped it.\n\nMarcia Chatelain is the Penn Presidential Compact Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. A historian of African-American life and culture\, Dr. Chatelain has taught at the University of Oklahoma and Georgetown University. She is the author of three books: South Side Girls: Growing up in the Great Migration\, Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America\, and How Bright the Path Grows: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the March on Washington. Dr. Chatelain has received awards for her writing and teaching\, including the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in History.\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.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Water@Michigan Coffee Talk: Blue Economy: Building Michigan’s Next Economic Engine
DESCRIPTION:Michigan’s freshwater resources are more than an environmental asset—they are an economic opportunity. This panel will explore the emerging Blue Economy and the growing efforts across Michigan to harness the Great Lakes as a catalyst for innovation\, entrepreneurship\, research\, talent development\, and economic growth.\nMelissa Zaksek\, Dr. Britany Affolter-Caine\, Matt McDonough and Alford A. Young\, Jr.\, bring complementary perspectives from sustainable business\, Michigan’s leading research universities\, and the growing freshwater innovation ecosystem. The conversation will examine how universities\, businesses\, entrepreneurs\, nonprofits\, and communities can work together to translate Michigan’s research and freshwater advantages into new companies\, technologies\, jobs\, and investment.\n\nPanelists will discuss the infrastructure and partnerships needed to support a thriving Blue Economy\, the role of universities in driving innovation and talent\, and opportunities to better connect research with industry and economic development. The discussion will also consider how Michigan can position itself as a national and global leader in freshwater innovation while ensuring that economic development and environmental stewardship advance together.\n\nThe session will highlight emerging initiatives\, including RU4M’s Livable Futures Initiative and the Freshwater Research & Innovation Center\, and explore what it will take to move Michigan from recognizing the economic potential of its freshwater resources to fully realizing it.\n\nModerator: Melissa Zaksek\, Managing Director\, Erb Institute\n\nPanelists: Matt McDonough\, CEO\, Discovery Pier and Board Member for Freshwater Research & Innovation Center and Britany Affolter-Caine\, Executive Director\, Research Universities for Michigan and Alford A. Young\, Jr. (confirmed)\, Associate Director of Center for Social Solutions\; Arthur F Thurnau Professor\; Edgar G. Epps Collegiate Professor of Sociology\; Professor of Afroamerican and African studies\; Professor of Public Policy\n\nAbout Coffee Talks: Coffee Talks provide a monthly opportunity for U-M faculty\, staff\, and students interested in water\, and water-interested people in southeast Michigan to connect with colleagues\, learn about pressing and/or emerging water-related issues\, and meet new partners.\n\nThis academic year\, we are excited to Envision Resilient Great Lakes Futures—examining the future opportunities\, challenges\, and innovations shaping the region's water resources\, communities\, and ecosystems.\n\nCoffee Talks are in-person convenings designed to build connections as part of the U-M Water Center's mission and programs\; we are not recording sessions at this time. \n\nYou can register here: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks
