SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Ottoman Roots
DESCRIPTION:Fruit trees planted in the late Ottoman Empire may have lived for over a century after the polity they grew up in disappeared from maps. Starting from these trees and their relationship to time\, this presentation elucidates the relationship between fruit production and violence at the end of empire. Many who planted the trees left—or were forced to leave—and newly settled people—many of them refugees themselves—came to care for these living relics of past social worlds. Through apricots\, figs\, grapes\, hazelnuts\, olives\, and pistachios\, the project places displaced people and their rootedness in the face of uprooting at the center\, and suggests their role in Turkey’s world-leading production of these commodities today. \n\nSamuel Dolbee is an environmental historian of the modern Middle East\, and an assistant professor at Vanderbilt University. His first book Locusts of Power was the co-winner of the 2024 Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association Book Prize. His work has appeared in American Historical Review\, Comparative Studies of Society and History\, Environmental History\, Journal of Global History\, and Past & Present among other places. He was formerly editor-in-chief of and is currently a contributor to Ottoman History Podcast. \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.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg's Earlier Instances of Trivalent Carbon
DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan chemistry professor Moses Gomberg’s 1900 revelation\, “An Instance of Trivalent Carbon: Triphenylmethyl\"\, lauded on a centennial National Historic Chemical Landmark for challenging the “prevailing belief that carbon can only have four bonds”\, shifts its' place in our imaginations as the facts given here are accommodated. In 1898 Gomberg presumed that he had made a molecular complex of bromotriphenylmethane and two neutral iodine molecules. But he was mistaken. Instead\, Gomberg produced a mixture ofthree persistent single crystals of the triphenylmethyl cation before he published his aforementioned\, controversial paper. Trigonal carbon coordination was the crack in the valency rules that had organized chemistry prior to the invention of quantum mechanics. Gomberg did not recognize the wealth of trivalent carbon compounds he had in hand before the proposition of the radical and corresponding cation thereafter. This presentation gives a counterfactual history.

SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Hatcher Halloween Presents: Study Break of the Unknown Tome
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to an autumnal break from hard facts. Instead\, try a rock fact. Come for the Washtenaw Dairy cider & donuts\, but stay for the pumpkin decorating (please reserve a pumpkin: https://myumi.ch/NXxEQ)\, lantern crafting\, rock facts\, potatoes\, and molasses! 🎃\n\nThere will be dips from El Harissa and costume prizes. An ambient animated folk-horror series will play in the background while you craft\, and we welcome you to dive into the unknown with more folk-horror recommendations from the library.\n\nThis event is funded by gifts to U-M Library’s Giving Tuesday campaign for student well-being.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reimagining Work as a Product Designed for Workers
DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan’s Philosophy\, Politics\, and Economics speaker for Fall 2026 is Dart Lindsley\, CEO of the work design company 11fold and host of Work for Humans. \n\nOctober 29\, 2026 | Talk with Q & A 4pm - 6 pm | Reception with light refreshments from 6 pm to 7:30 pm.\nFREE\, but registration is required.\nRackham Assembly Hall\n\nAbout Dart\nDart spent 25 years in transformation roles at Fortune 100 high-tech companies\, serving as a Strategic Advisor and Head of Global Process Excellence for People Operations at Google\, and previously as a Head of Business Architecture at Cisco Systems. He speaks on why we need to radically transform where we position employees in our business models — from inputs to customers. His 2024 HBR article \"Reimagining Work as a Product\" was nominated as best-of-issue and has gone on to multiple reprints.  Work for Humans has 200 episodes on which Dart speaks with diverse thinkers about how we might design better work. The show ranks in the top 3% among all podcasts and routinely peaks in the top 50 in the management category. Dart earned a 2024 Mira Fellowship for thinkers with radical reframes that can improve the world.  \n\nAbout the Talk\n\nEarly management theorists committed a category error when they classified employees as inputs to production: assets\, resources\, human capital. Dart argues that error haunts work today and offers a reframe. Employees are customers. Work is a product they choose to buy with their labor. Like any subscription product\, it has to be designed well enough that working customers choose to buy it each day. Building on his HBR article \"Reimagining Work as a Product\" (with co-author Eric Anicich)\, Dart shows how this reframe overturns norms\, power structures\, and how resources are allocated. For researchers it changes the questions\, the units of analysis\, the standards of evidence. He shares examples from organizations already living in the new world. He'll then use the reframe as a case study in something larger: what it takes to lead a paradigm shift\, and the tools that serve anyone striving to redesign institutions to solve the problems of living and working together.\n\nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Early Novel in French: Poetics of a Genre in the Making.
DESCRIPTION:In her upcoming talk\, Virginia Krause proposes to fill in a missing chapter in our History of the Novel\, which has long overlooked sixteenth-century France in its rush to identify the birth of the modern novel (for modernists) or the demise of medieval romance (for medievalists).  In the experimental fictions of mid-sixteenth-century France\, ancient rhetorical culture and new print technologies converged\, Krause argues\, shedding new light on a rapidly evolving genre—its lifelike personas or “person-fictions”\; its immersive powers over readers\; and\, amidst all its experimental properties and “new” technologies\, the enduring place occupied by ancient rhetorical culture and medieval adventure\, core principles for this genre-in-the-making.\n\n*Biography:*\n\nProfessor of French and Francophone Studies at Brown University\, Virginia Krause is the author of Witchcraft\, Demonology\, and Confession in Early Modern France (Cambridge\, 2015) and Idle Pursuits (Delaware\, 2003).  Her talk will be drawn from her new book\, The Early Novel in French: Poetics of a Genre in the Making (Northwestern\, forthcoming).
