SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Illuminating metal ions in the gut microbiota
DESCRIPTION:Essential metal ions like zinc\, copper\, and iron have a broad range of signaling\, stabilizing\, and catalytic functions across all living systems. The gut microbiota typically acquires these metals through the host diet but must be able to adapt to dietary fluctuations. Many studies link changes in available metal nutrients to alterations in bacterial colonization\, pathogen resistance\, and gut microbiota community composition but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our research program revolves around elucidating fundamental molecular mechanisms by which metals affect the microbiota. This talk will focus on our efforts to develop metal ion biosensors for illuminating metals within complex bacterial communities. We are investigating a series of cofactor-based fluorescent proteins that emit wavelengths ranging from green to the near-infrared and which\, unlike green fluorescent proteins and their variants\, do not rely on oxygen. I will cover how our group is re-engineering these proteins to develop novel sensors for zinc and copper. Application of these sensors to live bacteria and opportunities for their use in gut microbiota models will be discussed. I will also present our progress investigating how metal ions affect growth and cell interactions of the Lactobacillaceae family of bacteria\, which are crucial members of the gut microbiota.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nam Center Colloquium Series | The Postdevelopmental State: Dilemmas of Economic Democratization in Contemporary South Korea
DESCRIPTION:Attend in person or via Zoom: https://myumi.ch/5y5kg\n\nOver the last 25 years\, South Korea has witnessed growing inequality through non-standard employment\, mushrooming real estate prices\, and the growth of its super-conglomerates. That this expansion has taken place amid declining rates of economic growth and turbulent political events marks a departure from Korea’s past recognition as a high growth ‘developmental state.’ This presentation insists that to understand the challenges associated with this transformation what is needed is nothing less than a revision of the very standpoint of developmental state research itself. To do so\, it foregrounds the progressive project of ‘economic democratization’ to shift inquiry from elite bureaucracies and rapid GDP growth to the dynamics of historical blocs and the contours of socio-economic inequality. The lecture examines how despite the embrace of this project by successive liberal administrations\, and appropriation by moderate conservatives\, it has met with frustration. It is aregued that the causes of such can be seen through three interlinked phenomena: a narrowing vision of what constitutes economic democracy\, the ambiguous space accorded to workers within it\, and a problematic ‘politics of personality’ that has been used to pursue legitimacy in lieu of effective alliance-building and substantive policy change.\n   \n   Dr. Jamie Doucette is Reader in Human Geography at the University of Manchester. His research interests include the geographical political economy of development and democratization in East Asia\, the construction of urban and economic expertise\, labour geographies\, and the politics of special economic zones. His articles have appeared in journals such as Progress in Human Geography\, Urban Geography\, Transactions of the RGS- IBG\, Political Geography\, Journal of Asian Studies\, and Critical Asian Studies\, among others. This talk is based on his recent monograph The Postdevelopmental State: Dilemmas of Economic Democratization in Contemporary South Korea (University of Michigan Press\, 2024). He is the editor\, with Bae-gyoon Park\, of Developmentalist Cities? Interrogating Urban Developmentalism in East Asia (Brill/Haymarket 2019).\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at ncks.info@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Technologies of Sex: Humanizing the Clinical Gaze in Interwar Social Hygiene Films
DESCRIPTION:Sex research in the early-twentieth century German-speaking world was a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary project\, and by the 1920s popular interest in this booming field was facilitated by the exciting technological possibilities of film\, as sex reform activists\, doctors\, feminists and advocacy organizations forged productive alliances with commercial studios. This period saw rapid developments in form and genre\, from the explicitly pedagogical\, anti-STI documentaries of the immediate post-war years to more sensational productions such as the Der Steinach Film (The Steinach Film\, 1922\, Germany\, dir. Thomalla)\, which delves into the latest endocrinological and “rejuvenation” research\, and more narratively driven\, melodramatic Aufklärungsfilme centred on themes of STI transmission\, abortion\, prostitution or homosexuality\, such as Falsche Scham (False Shame\, Germany\, 1925/26\, dir. Biebrach)\, Anders als die Andern (Different from the Others\, 1919\, dir Oswald)\, and Mysterium des Geschlechts (Mystery of sex\, 1933\, dir. Golte). \n\nThis talk presents work-in-progress from a co-authored book project with Birgit Lang (University of Melbourne) on photography and film in early German sexual science. It argues that interwar Aufklärungsfilme were crucial in democratizing interwar sexual science\, depicting doctors as not simply authoritative experts\, but as sympathetic\, accessible and even vulnerable mediators of the latest sex research. They show doctor-scientists taking their lectures and life-lessons out of the traditional clinics and laboratories into spaces such as nightclubs\, funfairs\, and domestic homes\, at times ceding some of their authority to newly recognized social actors such as female medical students or gender-diverse subjects. Film\, queer and affect theorists emphasize how the embodied experience of cinemagoing can foster unique forms of identification and empathy\, from “prosthetic memories” (Landsberg) to “embodied affects” (Rutherford). We examine how these shifts worked to humanize the clinical gaze and gesture towards more emancipatory futures\, even as we also consider ways in which these sources remain ethically troubling for historians of gender and sexuality today.\n\nKatie Sutton is Associate Professor of German and Gender Studies at the Australian National University and a cultural historian of the German-speaking world. Working at the intersection of gender\, sexuality\, medicine and popular culture\, Sutton’s work focuses particularly on queer and trans histories and cultures\, sexual science and psychoanalysis. They are author of Sexuality in Modern German History (Bloomsbury\, 2023)\; Sex between Body and Mind: Psychoanalysis and Sexology in the German-Speaking World\, 1890s-1930s (Michigan UP\, 2019)\; and The Masculine Woman in Weimar Germany (Berghahn\, 2011). Sutton’s research has been supported by the Australian Research Council\, DAAD\, and British Academy/Leverhulme\, including a current collaborative ARC Discovery Project with Professor Birgit Lang at the University of Melbourne on photography and film in early sexual science on which this presentation is based.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:To Stop a Tyrant: How Courageous Political Followers Make a Crucial Difference
DESCRIPTION:In the past twenty years\, the world of leadership studies has been challenged to acknowledge its inseparable counterpart: Followership. Leadership programs now increasingly incorporate followership theory\, practice and development in their curriculum. Our speaker\, Ira Chaleff\, has been in the forefront of this movement with his classic work\, The Courageous Follower: Standing Up To and For Our Leaders. Having spent much of his career in the political sector\, he is now applying the lens of followership to understanding one of humanity’s most intractable phenomenon: the rise of tyrannical political leaders on both the political left and right. \n\nIn his new book\, To Stop a Tyrant\, rather than focus on the leader\, or lament the blight they bring to freedom\, Chaleff walks us through a new way of understanding the power of followers to interrupt the toxic trajectory. In a politically polarized climate\, he brings a refreshing non-partisan voice that invites us to better understand the dynamics of how we can create political leaders that use appropriate power for the public good.\n\nThis event is intended for University of Michigan students\, staff\, faculty\, and alumni.\n\nPre-speaker reception at 4 PM with appetizers.\nHosted with support from our campus partners: CEW+\, Sanger Leadership Center\, and the Ford School Leadership Initiative.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ESG Data Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:The ESG (Environmental\, Social\, and Governance) Workshop Series is designed to educate and engage students on key sustainability and ethical considerations in business and investment practices. Through a series of interactive sessions\, the workshops will cover a range of topics\, including reporting and regulatory frameworks\, data providers\, and the impact of ESG factors on financial performance and risk management.\n\nNearly all major corporations release ESG reports\, and global ESG (environmental\, social\, governance) assets under management are projected to pass $50 trillion in 2025. Some see ESG data as an essential tool to guide corporations toward positive social impact. Yet the investment strategy has become controversial\, and some states have banned the use of ESG standards for government funds. What is ESG\, how can I get and use ESG data\, and why is a seemingly niche investment strategy suddenly so political?\n\nThis hands-on workshop provides hands-on experience with ESG data to answer three questions: (1) How can I evaluate a specific company’s ESG performance (e.g.\, a potential employer)? (2) How can I assess ESG mutual funds and ETFs that I might invest in? and (3) How can I use ESG data to create a portfolio that matches my values?\n\nThis event\, facilitated by Professor Jerry Davis\, is open to all students.
