SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ukraine: Revolution\, Resistance\, Democracy
DESCRIPTION:About the talk: Why did Russia invade Ukraine? What explains the power of Ukrainian resistance? Sophia Wilson’s talk will be based on her book about the Ukrainian Maidan Revolution of 2013-14\, showing why it is impossible to understand Russia’s invasion of Ukraine without first understanding the Ukrainian pro-democratic grassroots movement and the rooting out of Russian puppet authoritarianism. Her study of the Ukrainian Revolution gives a carefully researched account of the underbelly of the revolutionary process\, investigating how participants self-organized to create the resistance\, why the peaceful movement eventually turned to violence\, and how the revolutionary process changed those who came to change the country. Wilson will discuss how the people resisted the state in multiple arenas – the protest square\, courtrooms\, hospitals\, churches\, and media – to successfully challenge the constitutionality of the state’s actions. She will also explain how the Kremlin propaganda about the Ukrainian democratic movement captures the essence of Russia’s motivation to suppress Ukraine’s sovereignty and democracy. \n\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Sophia Wilson is a Professor of Political Science at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville\, and the President of the American Association for Ukrainian Studies. Wilson received her Ph.D. from the University of Washington and held fellowships at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute\, Indiana University Law School\, and Weizenbaum Institute in Berlin. She taught at the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute in 2017\, 2019 and 2025. Wilson's publications on human rights practices in authoritarian regimes are based on extensive fieldwork she conducted in Tajikistan\, Azerbaijan and Ukraine\, including multiple interviews with judges\, journalists and activists. Her book\, Maidan: Ukraine's Democratic Revolution is an extensive analysis of the grassroots 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity\, which renegotiated the social contract and reaffirmed democracy in Ukraine. She is currently working on her new book\, Fascism vs. Communism: Ukraine under Three Occupations. Dr. Wilson has provided analysis for U.S. government agencies\, and commentary for broadcast and print media outlets on Ukraine and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. She was recognized by the Ukrainian government \"for leadership in the study and research of Ukrainian Studies in the United States of America\" in August 2024\, and awarded a Certificate of Recognition from the Global Coalition of Ukrainian Studies for her role in strengthening Ukraine's presence in the global academic community in 2025. \n\nThis lecture is part of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures' series \"Ukraine Unbound: Culture\, Memory\, Resistance\".\nThe talks will be held in a hybrid format\, and they're hosted by Alex Averbuch\, Assistant Professor of Ukrainian Literature and Culture.\nThis talk is co-sponsored by Razom for Ukraine / Ukraine on Campus.
