SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics
DESCRIPTION:The Interdisciplinary Workshop in American Politics hosts weekly research workshops\, where graduate students present their research and receive feedback. These workshops are structured to improve research and provide graduate students with an opportunity to gain the professional skills necessary for an academic career.\n\nIn addition to our weekly workshops\, IWAP invites faculty from other universities to present their cutting-edge research. IWAP has a tradition of inviting and hosting many high-profile researchers from the nation’s top universities\, thereby both broadening the interdisciplinary appeal of the workshop and introducing our students to the newest areas and methodologies of research.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture - Jacob Napieralski\, UM-Dearborn
DESCRIPTION:The United States government sponsored the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) in the 1930s to assess and grade neighborhoods based on perceived financial risk. The grades were influenced by the presence of minority racial groups\, immigrants\, and residents with lower socioeconomic statuses and\, even though the practice was eventually outlawed\, the impact on low income and underrepresented minorities is still prevalent today. This study was designed to assess spatial patterns and intensity of flood risk to (a) HOLC grade\, (b) proximity to coastal zones\, (c) intensity of vegetative cover\, and (d) relationship to buried (ghost) streams and wetlands to determine which variable has the most impact on flood risk. Flood risk data\, acquired from First Street Foundation’s Flood Factor dataset\, was summarized by HOLC grade\, and ghost streams and wetlands were digitized from historical maps and aggregated by HOLC grade. The results show flood risk is higher in C and D graded neighborhoods\, compared to A and B. Regardless of HOLC grade\, neighborhoods near the Detroit River and Lake St. Claire have 10 times higher flood risk than inland neighborhoods. Interestingly\, B-graded neighborhoods exhibit minimal impact from buried rivers and wetlands\, but that risk increases substantially if there is a history of stream or wetland burial within a D graded neighborhood. Flood risk is disproportionately distributed\, caused in part by outlawed\, racist housing policies. Understanding where risk is highest can help identify optimum locations for adaptation measures to minimize flood damage in these neighborhoods.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A Round Table Reading of Langston Hughes’s “Theme for English B”
DESCRIPTION:We will be reading Hughes’s “Theme for English B” (1951)\, a poem that raises questions about reading practices in the university classroom. We will read Hughes’s poem together and hear from graduate students and faculty members who have brought in “artifacts” that deepen our understanding of the poem. An open discussion will follow and light refreshments will be served!\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | *Antar*: Translation and the Afterlives of Gandhi’s Autobiography
DESCRIPTION:Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography\, *An Autobiography or The Story of My Experiments with Truth*\, is one of the most translated texts in the world. Written primarily in his mother tongue\, Gujarati\, the autobiography is a hybrid amalgamation of the personal\, political and spiritual in Gandhi's life. Examining how the autobiography has traveled into most world languages in the past hundred years makes for a fascinating history.\n   \n   However\, Kothari chooses to tell a different story - one that is not only one of translation - but in translation. The genre of autobiography\, as we know\, was new to India in the nineteenth century. The notion of self-telling its own story\, being both the tale's creator and the object of telling\, required many forms of negotiation in a society of collectivities.\n   \n   In Gujarati\, the beginning had been made with varying outcomes\, and M.K. Gandhi could have simply based his autobiographical endeavor on the existing examples. However\, Gandhi's experiment was unique to him. How did he reconcile the communal with the individual and contain\, as it were\, the egotism threatened by the form? One of the ways to think of what Gandhi does is by looking at what he does with the form - an act of roopantar\, or changing the form. The suffix antar is crucial to our discussion - a word that signals difference and interiority. Through a close reading of Gandhi's framing questions in the autobiography and moving back and forth between Gujarati\, English\, Sindhi\, Hindi and many other translations\, this talk will show how the autobiography translates and how it does not.\n   \n   Rita Kothari is an English professor at Ashoka University and directs the Ashoka Centre for Translation. A distinguished translator\, Kothari is also a leading theoretician of translation studies\; internationally known for books such as *Translating India: The Cultural Politics of English* and *A Multilingual Nation and Chutnefying English and Decentring Translation Studies*.\n   \n   Her translations of note include *Angaliyat: The Stepchild from Gujarati\, Unbordered Memories from Sindhi*\, and the *Patan Trilogy by K.M. Munshi from Gujarati*. Her work on partition and borders intervened to bring the unusual Sindhi experience in books such as *The Burden of Refuge* and the study of the Indo-Pak border region in *Memories and Movements*.\n   \n   Kothari is a multilingual scholar\, and her interest in translation manifests in the way she moves between various languages through research and pedagogy. She also writes extensively on language politics\, partition\, and literary and social traditions of Gujarat and Sindh and Hindi cinema. Her recent book is *Uneasy Translations: Self\, Experience\, and Indian Literature*.\n\n*Made possible with the generous support of the Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education.*\n\nFree and open to the public
