SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:American Institutions Group
DESCRIPTION:The American Institutions Group (AIG) is a Rackham interdisciplinary workshop for faculty and graduate students that meets twice a month to discuss recent and forthcoming research on American political institutions (e.g. Congress\, the presidency\, state legislatures and executives\, the courts\, and the bureaucracy). Our key goals are to offer new and varied perspectives for graduate students to harness in their own dissertation work on American political institutions\; encourage conversations that breed new research ideas\; and spur innovative collaborations among our participants. AIG participants are scholars in political science\, public health\, social work\, public policy\, and economics interested in examinations of American political institutions from the perspective of these disciplines.\n\nFaculty Coordinators: Charles R.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Transpolitics of Postcolonial Orders
DESCRIPTION:Colonial power does not simply disappear at independence. It mutates\, reappearing through contemporary institutions\, political discourses\, and racial hierarchies\, complicating any clean break between colonial and postcolonial eras. Ann Laura Stoler’s concept of duress captures this ongoing condition: colonial power persists as a lived\, material\, and affective force\, embedded in social life even when presumed to be over.\n\nRacialized and minoritized communities actively confront and reshape these postcolonial conditions. In France\, for example\, immigrant communities and descendants of colonial subjects engage in memory-work\, cultural production\, and political mobilization to challenge assimilationist ideologies\, securitized Islamophobia\, and exclusionary myths of national universalism. These interventions contest dominant narratives of belonging and insist on political futures that reckon with imperial histories rather than disavow them.\n\nJoin us for a panel that examines how postcolonial orders are inhabited\, contested\, and reimagined across diverse contexts.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
