SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Sociocultural Anthropology Colloquium | \"No Place For Those Who Suffer: Surviving Trauma in Exile\"
DESCRIPTION:\"Succeeding to previous regimes of migrants as laboring (Sayad 2004) and suffering bodies (Fassin 2013\, Ticktin 2011)\, and to the trauma regime of victimhood (Fassin and Rechtman 2009)\, a trauma regime of survival is emerging in public discourses\, re-shaping psychotherapeutic practices and migration policies.  \n\nBased on ethnographic evidence from fieldwork in a trauma-therapy center for refugees in Sweden\, this presentation will illustrate how the expectation from exiles nowadays is to overcome their suffering _ the suffering based on which they were granted asylum_ so they survive and integrate into the host societies. There is no place for refugees’ suffering in the countries of exile when survival becomes proof of their deservingness. In this context of forced exile\, autonomy\, and survival become closely linked to\, if not defined by\, integration\, which is\, at the same time\, hindered by racism\, discrimination\, and othering policies. This superposition of trauma survival and integration creates a hard-to-break-from conundrum for exiles\, as they are expected to heal to integrate when healing is almost impossible in disintegration.\n\nThis 'survival regime' has impacted migration and integration policies. It allowed perceptions of and expectations from refugees in Western European host countries to change\, opening the possibility for policymakers to perceive refugees not only as people to protect based on international law obligations but also (and mostly) as an economic opportunity and a dividend. It has also deeply reshaped therapeutic practices\, disrupting the roles of psychiatrists and psychotherapists\, and redefining what 'therapeutic' and 'psychological recovery' mean.\"\n\nMayssa Rekhis is a Medical Doctor\, who graduated from the University of Tunis el-Manar\, Tunisia\, and an anthropologist\, holding a Ph.D from the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences EHESS - Paris\, France. She is a researcher\, educator\, and activist\, and works at the intersection of these roles\, with a focus on health\, social justice\, and migration. She has more than a decade of experience working in SWANA (South West Asia and North Africa)\, East Africa\, and Europe\, both as a researcher and as a practitioner with experience mainly in the non-profit sector. As a researcher\, she explores humans' experiences with extreme violence\, trauma\, suffering\, and exile\, and is interested in the roles of psychiatry and psychotherapies\, mechanisms and processes of subjectivation\, and healing. She is currently working in the School of Public Health and Community Medicine at Gothenburg University\, in Sweden\, as a lecturer.

For over 60 years\, the region has been host to the activities of multinational oil corporations who partner with the Nigerian state in exploiting oil for profit. Oil was first discovered in the region in 1956\, and the first shipment of the commodity to the international market occurred in 1958 with a consignment of about 5\,000 barrels per day (bpd). Production peaked at about 2.5 million bpd\, but today\, because of community protests\, insurgency\, and general disruption to the activities of corporations\, the number hovers between 1.2 million to 1.4 million bpd. While the state has benefited immensely from oil production\, the same cannot be said of the communities that are hosts to pipelines\, flow stations\, and all of the oil infrastructure that has come to define the entire region. Loss of livelihood\, heavily polluted environment\, death\, and displacement have characterized the region’s interaction with multinational oil corporations such as Shell\, Chevron\, ExxonMobil\, Eni\, Total Energies\, etc.\n\nThis exhibition is a bold attempt to shed light on what it means to live in an oil extractive enclave like the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The images showcase the lives lived\, the loss\, perseverance\, and determination to survive. \n\nThe exhibition is divided into two parts. The first part of the exhibition is displayed in the DAAS gallery with the sub-theme “People Crossings and the Dangers of Oil Pollution” and is a demonstration of the everyday lived experiences of the inhabitants of many of the enclaves of the Niger Delta. As depicted in the photos\, people cross polluted rivers to go to school and in search of a means of survival.  \n\nGallery visitors are invited to cross from the DAAS Gallery to the International Institute Gallery on the 5th floor of Weiser Hall to see the second part of the exhibition\, “Living\, Community\, and Polluted Environment.” This portion of the exhibition demonstrates community resilience in the face of environmental persecution. It shows everyday life amid oil infrastructure that litters the entire landscape of many of the communities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.\n\n— - - -\nNnimmo Bassey is an architect\, environmental justice activist\, writer\, and poet. His latest poetry collection is titled I See the Invisible (2023). Other collections include I Will Not Dance to Your Beat(2011) and We Thought It Was Oil But It Was Blood (2002). He is director of the ecological think-tank\, Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF). \n\nOmolade Adunbi is a professor of Anthropology\, Afroamerican and African Studies and Law at the University of Michigan. His research examines the dynamics of power\, natural resource extractive practices\, governance\, human and environmental rights\, culture\, transnational institutions\, multinational corporations\, and the postcolonial state. His latest book\, Enclaves of Exception: Special Economic Zones and Extractive Practices in Nigeria (Indiana University Press\,2022)\, offers a new approach to exploring the relationship between oil and technologies of extraction and their interrelatedness to China’s interest in free trade zones and its impact on local livelihoods and environmental practices. \n\nDiepreye Amanah is a Nigerian-American poet from Charlotte\, North Carolina. She holds an MFA from the University of Michigan and is an assistant editor for the Michigan Quarterly Review. Winner of a 2022 and a 2023 Academy of American Poets Prize\, and the second-runner-up in the 2023 American Literary Review Poetry Contest\, her poems also appear or are forthcoming in Epoch\, The Adroit Journal\, Up the Staircase Quarterly\, The Rising Phoenix Review\, and elsewhere. Amanah is longlisted in the 2023 National Poetry Competition.\n\n\n---\n\nThese events are hosted in conjunction with the 2024 Wallenberg Medal and Lecture featuring Nnimmo Bassey\nTuesday\, September 10 at 4:30 PM  |  Robertson Auditorium\, Ross School of Business\nVisit https://wallenberg.umich.edu for more information.\n\n*Nnimmo Bassey’s photos courtesy of the Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF).*\n\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact levyra@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Fall Seminar Series: The Social Pyschology of Systemic Racism (Kickoff Event)
DESCRIPTION:What are the points of connection between structures and individuals when we think about bias? In the Fall 2024 RCGD Seminar Series “The Social Psychology of Systemic Racism\,” an all-star lineup of behavioral and political psychologists will define what\, in their words\, makes systemic racism systemic\, and how extra-individual levels of analysis could be incorporated in social psychological theories and methods. \n\nA kickoff for the series and reception will be led by series organizer Nick Camp.\n\nTalks in this series will be held Mondays from 3:30 to 5\, starting Sept. 16. Check the listings for details!\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.\n\nGroup Dynamics Seminar Series\nThe Group Dynamics Seminar series is considered one of the longest running seminar series in the social sciences. It has been running uninterruptedly since it was founded by Kurt Lewin in the 1920’s in Berlin. A very important feature of this seminar today is its interdisciplinary nature. Recent seminars have included themes such as political polarization\, cultural psychology\, and evolution & human behavior.

SUMMARY:Meeting:Student Combinatorics: Generalizing Polypositroids
DESCRIPTION:In their 2020 paper\, Thomas Lam and Alexander Postnikov define polypositroids\, the polytopal analog of positroids. However\, they also go one step further and observe that the definition of a polypositroid is secretly based on the type A root system. In this talk\, we’ll discuss how polypositroids can be extended to arbitrary finite root systems and examine how the parameterization of polypositroids can be generalized too.
