SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion in Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (DEI) principles and practices are known to have individual and collective benefits as supported by years of evidence. For example\, research has shown the benefits of diverse learning environments (Hurtado et al.\, 2003)\, improved critical thinking and problem-solving skills (Bowman\, 2010)\, and that diverse groups perform better than homogeneous groups (Page\, 2017). Despite the benefits and positive outcomes of DEI\, there is an active effort to discredit and dismantle the progress made by DEI-informed practices. As tracked by the Chronicle of Higher Education\, such efforts have led to 85 bills across 28 states that seek to eliminate DEI offices and DEI training\, among other DEI-related and informed efforts. Such anti-DEI efforts directly impact the states in which legislation has been proposed or passed and a chilling effect on other states where there might be concern of what is to come. Though such efforts present a challenge\, scholars and practitioners across the country are committed to advancing DEI because of the known benefits to the broader human condition. \n\nTo this end\, this panel is for all within higher education\, from current graduate students to senior faculty administrators\, and offers an opportunity to reflect on the critical role each of us plays in ensuring that our institutions continue to provide access to and within higher education\, ensure that systems and structures reflect the needs of all and that all receive critical resources and support to ensure equitable outcomes. Panelists will discuss the current climate for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (DEI) within higher education and the challenges that scholars and practitioners face in employing the practices and principles of DEI. Including how we got to this point? How does the current climate shape strategies moving forward? And where do we go from here?\n\nPlease join Dr. Mitchell Chang\, Ph.D. from University of California Los Angeles\, Dr. Liliana Garces\, Ed.D.\, J.D.\,  Dr. Demetri Morgan\, Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in a faculty forum on outreach and engagement entitled Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion in Higher Education: \"All Progress is Precarious\" on Tuesday\, September 17\, 2024 from 3:30-5 p.m. in the Prechter Laboratory (Room 2202) at the School of Education Building\, located at 610 E. University Avenue in Ann Arbor. This forum will be moderated by Dr. Elizabeth Birr Moje\, Ph.D.\, Dean of the University of Michigan Marsal Family School of Education\, and is sponsored by the University of Michigan Center for Educational Outreach\, Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, National Center for Institutional Diversity\, Marsal Family School of Education\, Rackham Graduate School\, and Gerald R.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CM-AMO Seminar | Berry Phase Enforced Spinor Pairing Order
DESCRIPTION:We introduce a class of topological pairing orders characterized by a half-integer pair monopole charge\, leading to Berry phase enforced half-integer partial wave symmetry. This exotic spinor order emerges from pairing between Fermi surfaces with Chern numbers differing by an odd integer. Using tight-binding models\, we demonstrate spinor superconducting orders with monopole charges \pm 1/2\, featuring a single gap node and nontrivial surface states. Additionally\, the superfluid velocity follows a fractionalized Mermin-Ho relation in spatially inhomogeneous pairing orders. The concept extends to spinor density waves and excitons.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DAAS Africa Workshop with Samar Al-Bulushi\, Anthropology (UC-Irvine)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In 2023\, the Kenyan state announced that it was prepared to lead a US-backed multinational police intervention in Haiti\, justifying its role in the language of Pan-African solidarity.  This announcement came in the midst of the Kenyan military’s ongoing operations against the militant group Al-Shabaab in neighboring Somalia. What explains Kenya’s emergence as a Global South power with growing international visibility on questions of security? How are contemporary invocations of Pan-Africanism—particularly when wielded by state officials—imbricated in the politics of empire and militarized interventionism? This talk explores the rise of ‘entangled pacifications\,’ wherein seemingly marginal Global South states play increasingly critical roles in the topography of global policing\, counter-insurgency\, and war —with dire consequences for everyday people caught in the crosshairs.\n\n\nBio: Samar Al-Bulushi is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of California\, Irvine. Her book\, War-Making as Worldmaking: Kenya\, the United States\, and the War on Terror\, is forthcoming from Stanford University Press in November 2024. Samar is a non-resident fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and has published in a variety of public outlets on topics ranging from the International Criminal Court to the militarization of U.S. policy in Africa.  \n\nResearch Interests\nGeopolitics\; imperialism\; militarism\; policing\; race\; Kenya\, East Africa\, elites\, diplomacy\; transnationalism & South-South solidarities.\n\nCurrent Research\nMy book War-Making as World-Making: Kenya\, the United States\, and the War on Terror (forthcoming in November 2024 from Stanford University Press)\, argues that Kenya has emerged as a key player in the post 9/11 era of endless war. Since the Kenyan military invaded Somalia in 2011\, Kenya has been engaged in direct combat with the Somali militant group Al-Shabaab\, conducting airstrikes in southern Somalia\, and deploying heavy-handed police tactics at home. Yet Kenya is often dismissed as a proxy force in what many conceive of as an American-led theatre of operations.  My book argues that it is only by accounting for the increasingly assertive role of African states— made possible by U.S. security assistance—  that we can trace the extension of the war on terror into ever-expansive domains across the continent. Drawing on ethnographic research in the Kenyan cities of Nairobi and Mombasa\, the book brings into focus a landscape of everyday life that remains largely overlooked by those documenting the costs of post 9/11 imperial warfare in Africa.\n\nMy next project\, The Afterlives of Non-Alignment\, explores how African politicians\, activists\, and intellectuals re-engage with the concept of non-alignment in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While contemporary invocations of non-alignment are not necessarily grounded in a commitment to anti-imperialism\, memories of European colonialism loom large\, as do memories of the Soviet Union’s support for African independence struggles. This project aims to shed ethnographic light on how asymmetrical yet shifting global power relations are interpreted and contested\, shaped simultaneously by colonial legacies of exploitation and inequality\, by affective discourses that invoke memories of these legacies\, and by everyday forms of geopolitical knowledge.\n\nProfessional Background\nI joined the Department of Anthropology in 2019. Between 2017-2019\, I was  a University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at UCI.\n\nPrior to pursuing my PhD\, I worked for a number of international human rights organizations\, including the Center for Economic and Social Rights\, Parliamentarians for Global Action\, and the International Center for Transitional Justice. I was also a co-producer and co-host of Afrobeat Radio and Global Movements\, Urban Struggles at WBAI Pacifica Radio in New York City.\n\nI am a non-resident fellow at the Quincy Institute and previously served as a contributing editor at Africa is a Country. I have published in a variety of public outlets on topics ranging from the International Criminal Court to the militarization of U.S. policy in Africa.
