SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Non-Western Marxisms: Challenges and Opportunities of a Concept
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will assess the conceptual and political implications of Marxism’s expansion beyond Europe. Given the scarcity of scholarship presenting a “South-South” perspective on Marxist theory and practice\, I will place previous work concerning the critical reception and translation of Marxism in Latin America in dialogue with other traditions from Africa\, Asia\, and the Caribbean. The aim will be to move beyond a tendency within traditional Marxist historiography to treat peripheral regions as isolated cases rather than sites of theoretical elaboration with universal implications.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Noon at Night Presents: Climate Emergency & Speculative Fiction
DESCRIPTION:If you plan to attend virtually or would like to watch a recording sent later\, please register using the form linked on this page. We will send a link via email.\n\nNoon at Night is a wandering classroom that prototypes creative adaptation to crisis. Through experimental performance\, Noon at Night connects subversive learners and educators in higher education institutions worldwide in solidarity and interdependence. Incubating within the University of Michigan during the 2024-25 academic year\, Noon at Night has situated its study and practice at the intersection of climate emergency\, grief\, and imperialism.\n\nIn the academic year 2025\, Noon at Night will host a series of public events and workshops that immerse UM students and community members in potential future climate-related crises and create opportunities to practice mutual aid through speculative fiction and performance. Each program will focus on a possible crisis in our near-term future and invite participants to ask: what will I do in this situation and who can I turn to?\n\nThis hybrid interactive discussion is part of a creative resilience series to foster knowledge and skill development around collective disaster preparedness and climate emergency adaptation. This is in collaboration with Jen Rae from the Centre for Reworlding\, Syrus Marcus Ware\, students at University of Wisconsin - Madison\, UofM students\, and campus and non-campus community members. This serves as a primer for a public\, day-long series of creative climate adaptation workshops on October 11\, mapping the unique climate disaster vulnerability of UM and imagining creative responses to prepare for disasters and build resilient systems in the future. In November\, UM students will join students at UW Madison and other transgressive educators worldwide to imagine how higher education institutions can generatively respond to climate disasters through a speculative fiction radio theater performance. This project will dramatize current and impending climate catastrophes\, recording and transmitting survival skill workshops in a participatory drama.\n\nJoin artists Jen Rae\, Syrus Marcus Ware\, and dawn weleski as they discuss the role of artists in responding and adapting to the climate crisis.\n\n______________________________\n\nDr Jen Rae is an award-winning artist and researcher of Canadian Scottish-Métis (Indigenous) descent living on unceded Djaara Country (Castlemaine) Australia. She is recognised for her practice and expertise situated at the intersections of art\, speculative futures and climate emergency disaster adaptation + resilience – predominantly articulated through transdisciplinary collaborations\, multi-platform projects\, community alliances and public pedagogies. Jen creates and contributes to experimental multi-platform collaborative projects balanced with professional mentoring of other artists\, public talks\, workshops and deep socially-engaged projects with diverse partners and communities. Most relevant is her role as a core artist of Arts House’s prescient REFUGE project (2016-2022) - where artists\, emergency service providers and communities worked together to rehearse climate-related emergencies exploring the impact of creativity in disaster preparedness. Relevant projects during REFUGE include the speculative fiction short film REFUGIUM (co-written with Claire G. Coleman)\; PORTAGE: SHELTER2CAMP in collaboration with 4 First Nations master weavers to co-build 6 life-size disaster shelters with over 120 community participants and partners\; the FIRST ASSEMBLY OF THE CENTRE FOR REWORLDING event\; and\, the art exhibition RESURGENCE. All are grounded in First Nations knowledge systems and protocols\, exploring themes climate\, colonisation\, disaster preparedness and intergenerational justice.\n\nSyrus Marcus Ware is a Vanier Scholar\, visual artist\, activist\, curator\, and educator. Using painting\, installation\, and performance\, Syrus works with and explores social justice frameworks and Black activist culture. His work has been shown widely\, including solo shows at Grunt Gallery in 2018 )2068:Touch Change) and Wil Aballe Art Projects in 2021 (Irresistible Revolutions). His work has been featured as part of the inaugural Toronto Biennial of Art in 2019 in conjunction with the Ryerson Image Centre (Antarctica and Ancestors\, Do You Read Us? (Dispatches from the Future))\, as well as for the Bentway’s Safety in Public Spaces Initiative in 2020 (Radical Love). Syrus has participated in group shows at the Never Apart in Montreal\, the Art Gallery of Ontario\, the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery\, the Art Gallery of York University\, the Art Gallery of Windsor\, and as part of the curated content at Nuit Blanche 2017 (The Stolen People\; Won't Back Down). His performance works have been part of festivals across Canada\, including at Cripping The Stage (Harbourfront Centre\, 2016 & 2019)\, Complex Social Change (University of Lethbridge Art Gallery\, 2015) and Decolonizing and Decriminalizing Trans Genres (University of Winnipeg\, 2015). \n\ndawn weleski (they/she) is UM Student Life Sustainability's Artist in Residence. weleski is internationally renowned for their participatory\, politically-engaged work\, activating and broadcasting the stories of individuals and groups that normative institutions fail to provide. They co-founded and co-directed Conflict Kitchen\, a seven-year\, seven-day-a-week restaurant that served cuisines from countries in conflict with the United States\, and City Council Wrestling\, where professional-ameatur wrestlers\, local residents and City Council members personified their political interests into wrestling characters that figuratively and literally fought out their conflicts in the wrestling ring. They regularly exhibit and produce public projects around the world\, and most recently exhibited at Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum 2022-23. weleski holds a BFA in Visual Art with a concentration in Contextual Practice from Carnegie Mellon University and a MFA in Art Practice from Stanford University.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Resistance against an Expansionist State:  The Case of Jalieza in Early Classic (AD 200-500) Oaxaca
DESCRIPTION:Joseph “Weston” Wardle is a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan. Since 2023\, he has directed the Cerro Danilín Archaeological Project at Jalieza in Oaxaca\, Mexico. The project aims to understand how the Zapotec state centered at Monte Albán fragmented\, and the role that conflict and resistance played in the process. \n\nSometime during the Early Classic (AD 200-500) in the Valley of Oaxaca\, a community was founded on the hilltop of Jalieza\, in its westernmost section called Cerro Danilín. It has long been assumed that Monte Albán was at the peak of its power at this time\, but archaeological fieldwork in recent decades suggests that fragmentation may have begun in outlying provinces\, and in the valley\, close to Monte Albán. Because of its sudden founding and relatively rapid growth\, I propose that Jalieza was a refuge for people resisting Monte Albán inside the valley. Resistance was a major force during the rise of the expansionist state and likely never went away. I will present the preliminary results of two field seasons of excavations at Jalieza and a study of fortification in the Valley of Oaxaca\, both of which suggest that conflict and resistance were present inside the valley during the Early Classic.

SUMMARY:Performance:Vinson Lam\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:Vinson Lam performs on the Charles Baird Carillon\, an instrument of 53 bronze bells located inside the Burton Memorial Tower.
