SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY26 - 27
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Full Moon Festival Astronomy Talks
DESCRIPTION:For many cultures across East Asia\, family and friends come together for the mid-autumn Full Moon with festivities\, delicious food\, and good company. The Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, U-M Astronomy\, the Nam Center for Korean Studies\, and the Center for Japanese Studies invite you to the Judy & Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory for a special celebration of the Mid-Autumn Full Moon. Mooncakes will be available to all in-person registrants\, courtesy of the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies.\n\nTalk 1 - Much About Moons! (Logan Pearce\, ELT Postdoctoral Fellow\, Department of Astronomy)\n\nSail through a tour of the neatest moons in the solar system\, highlighting the specialness of Earth’s Moon. Visit fascinating moons like Io\, Titan\, Europa\, Enceladus\, and even Pluto. We will then explore detections of moons around other planets outside our solar system.\n\nTalk 2 - Wild Thoughts on Our Moon: Listening to the Universe from the Dark Side (Bingcheng Jin\, Graduate Student\, Department of Astronomy)\n\nWe will journey through history to explore humanity’s ancient fascination with the Moon and consider one of the wildest ideas in science history: building observatories on the Moon. Proposed lunar-based observatories would be shielded from Earth’s radio chatter\, allowing us to hear the first whispers of the cosmos. We will also discuss the social concerns of building on the Moon\, including discussion with the audience.\n\nIf you’d like to attend virtually\, please register for the Zoom Webinar at: https://myumi.ch/NXVPz
