In that same decade, anthropologists and sociologists like Clifford Geertz and Joseph Gusfield fundamentally transformed the social sciences by newly centering attention to writing. This talk asks why Telugu South India similarly saw the emergence of new socio-political writing and documentation practices in the 1970s, highlighting four examples: the Jana Natya Mandali\u2019s (People\u2019s Theatre Troupe) new documentary song-story compositions; AP State Harijan Conference reports; documentation produced by the RSU\u2019s \u201cGo to Villages Campaign\u201d; and the Andhra Pradesh Civil Liberties Committee\u2019s introduction of regular \u201cfact-finding missions.\u201d\r\n \r\n Lisa Mitchell is Professor of anthropology & history in the Department of South Asia Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

This is important for targeting local resources and policies, especially when national-level or large-area data mask variation at a more granular level. Researchers often fit hierarchical Bayesian models to stabilize estimates when data are sparse. Ideally, Bayesian procedures also exhibit good frequentist properties, as demonstrated by calibrated Bayes techniques. However, hierarchical Bayesian models tend to shrink subdomain estimates toward the overall mean and may produce credible intervals that do not maintain nominal coverage. Hoff et al. developed the Frequentist, but Assisted by Bayes (FAB) intervals for subgroup estimates with normally distributed outcomes. However, non-normally distributed data present new challenges, and multiple types of intervals have been proposed for estimating proportions. We examine subdomain inference with binary outcomes and extend FAB intervals to improve nominal coverage and estimation efficiency. We describe how to numerically compute FAB intervals in the binary case and demonstrate their improvement through repeated simulation studies. Finally, we apply the proposed methods to estimate COVID-19 infection rates in subgroups, based on geography and demographic characteristics. This is joint work with Rayleigh Lei.\r\n\r\nYajuan Si is a Research Associate Professor in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan.

Rappaport Lecture Series, \u201cBananapocalypse: Un\/Making Plantation Capitalism,\u201d with Assistant Professor Alyssa Paredes:\r\n\r\n\u201cExistential crises hang over the producers of the world\u2019s food. Many of these challenges are self-inflicted. In the banana-growing regions of the Southern Philippines, which produce fruit for export to Japanese markets, plantations unleash pesticide drift, food waste, water effluent, and fungal pathogens into the surroundings. The plantocratic elite systematically shirks responsibility for these excesses, using legal contracts, scientific conventions, and standards of trade to frame them as \u201cexternal\u201d to their supply chains. However, plantation management is regularly proven wrong in its assumption that the things they try to push downstream will not double back to haunt them. Everyday actors on the plantations\u2019 peripheries transform the devices designed to work against them into openings for intervention. Their efforts implore critical scholars of the environment and of global economies to take seriously the possibility that Big Ag\u2019s increasingly frequent failures to reproduce itself are more than just minor inconveniences to business-as-usual. In this series of lectures, I trace the afterlives of the externalities that commodity production obscures, disguises, or otherwise erases from its ambit of accountability. In so doing, I offer an ethnographic model for turning the commodity studies model, inherited from generations of anthropologists, inside-out.\u201d\r\n\r\nRappaport lectures will take place on the following fall Fridays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in 411 West Hall.

It, however, extends beyond colonial conceits by offering a contrapuntal story by following a U.S. anthropologist conducting fieldwork among a Bagobo community in the Davao Gulf of Mindananao and the knowledge of weavers this anthropologist obtained.

Training that focuses too heavily on practical applications may skip over foundational concepts, such as sampling theory, error reduction, or bias minimization. Without these foundations, researchers might design surveys that overlook important methodological considerations, potentially compromising data quality in ways that negatively affect insights and decision-making. At the same time, strong training programs often teach sophisticated survey methods (e.g., stratified sampling, regression analysis, psychometric scaling) that are used in academic or governmental research, but are impractical or overly complex in most industry contexts without adaptation to the time and cost constraints often present. A middle ground of training is often missing--one that trains researchers on how to adapt or simplify these more complex methodologies for practical use in the real world and how to make them accessible without sacrificing quality. The presenter will discuss the holes often seen in hiring trained survey researchers and the complimentary development that is necessary to bring them up to speed to be successful industry practitioners.\r\n\r\nCurtiss Cobb is a Vice President of Research at Meta where he leads the Demography and Survey Science Team, a quantitative focused research team that works across Meta to identify and share best practices and methodological innovations in demographic and survey research. His team oversees the collection of millions of survey responses a day from around the world using mobile, web, face-to-face and other methods.

Rappaport Lecture Series, \u201cBananapocalypse: Un\/Making Plantation Capitalism,\u201d with Assistant Professor Alyssa Paredes:\r\n\r\n\u201cExistential crises hang over the producers of the world\u2019s food. Many of these challenges are self-inflicted. In the banana-growing regions of the Southern Philippines, which produce fruit for export to Japanese markets, plantations unleash pesticide drift, food waste, water effluent, and fungal pathogens into the surroundings. The plantocratic elite systematically shirks responsibility for these excesses, using legal contracts, scientific conventions, and standards of trade to frame them as \u201cexternal\u201d to their supply chains. However, plantation management is regularly proven wrong in its assumption that the things they try to push downstream will not double back to haunt them. Everyday actors on the plantations\u2019 peripheries transform the devices designed to work against them into openings for intervention. Their efforts implore critical scholars of the environment and of global economies to take seriously the possibility that Big Ag\u2019s increasingly frequent failures to reproduce itself are more than just minor inconveniences to business-as-usual. In this series of lectures, I trace the afterlives of the externalities that commodity production obscures, disguises, or otherwise erases from its ambit of accountability. In so doing, I offer an ethnographic model for turning the commodity studies model, inherited from generations of anthropologists, inside-out.\u201d\r\n\r\nRappaport lectures will take place on the following fall Fridays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in 411 West Hall.

Collegiate Professor of Anthropology\r\n\r\nLecture Title: Double Sovereignty and Ritual Fabulation in Qing Southwest China\r\n\r\nLecture Abstract: In Qing China, the mountains where Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou provinces came together were scattered with dozens of indigenous chiefly domains, dominated by an ethnicity we now call Nasu. The residents of these domains were subject to a doubled sovereignty: the sovereignty of the empire, centered on jurisprudence and oriented towards the horizon of the right to take life or let live, and the sovereignty of a chiefly house, centered on kinship and bondage and oriented towards the horizon of the right to enslave. Drawing on the archive of a Nasu chiefly house, this talk follows a chiefly heir named Nuo Zhenxing as he was expelled from the chiefly house by his adoptive mother and tortured by a district magistrate during the devastating Jiaqing famine of 1815-1817. I juxtapose Zhenxing\u2019s experiences of hunger and exile, recorded in his Chinese-language diary, with fabulations of thought and ritual such dream statues and twisted grass criminals, from texts in the indigenous Yi (or Ne) script, that reflect ways ordinary farmers and slaves experienced double sovereignty. \r\n\r\nProfessor Anne Pitcher, the Joel Samoff Collegiate Professor of Political Science and Afroamerican and African Studies\r\n\r\nLecture Title: Disrupting the Border: State Sovereignty, Domestic Corruption, and Transnational Kleptocracy\r\n\r\nLecture Abstract: In recent years, studies of corruption have provided extraordinary insight into the pilfering of state resources by politicians. There are exhaustive case studies of nepotism, bribery, and embezzlement in Azerbaijan or Zimbabwe. Scholars have identified different corruption types and Transparency International provides country rankings according to citizens\u2019 perceptions of corruption. Yet, many of these studies stop at national borders. By contrast, an emerging literature in International Relations documents the features of \u201ctransnational kleptocracy\u201d or rather, the cross-border movement of public assets that politicians have hijacked for personal gain. Owing to changes in the global economy, state sovereignty has now become \u201celastic\u201d and permeable, which has facilitated the transnational flow of capital and the purchase of real estate beyond domestic jurisdictions. My research builds a conceptual bridge between these two literatures and offers a means by which scholars can jointly evaluate the association between corruption and transnational kleptocracy. \r\n\r\nProfessor Silke Weineck, the Grace Lee Boggs Collegiate Professor of Comparative Literature and German Studies\r\n\r\nLecture Title: On Honor\r\n\r\nLecture Abstract: In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle asserts that virtue is the condition of being friends with yourself: \u201ca [good] person wishes to spend time with himself, since he finds it pleasant to do so.\u201d While honor has often been understood as a commitment to your external reputation, I want to suggest that honor predominantly safeguards the reputation you have with yourself. We cannot resist the authoritarianism unfolding around us without a commitment to ethical norms of conduct that allow us to remain on good terms with ourselves, and only therefore with others. A sense of honor, in other words, prohibits collaboration with the current regime. Its costs are high, but I want to believe, with Aristotle, that there is no happiness without it. Creating the conditions of possibility for happiness is arguably the core political project for the left. \r\n\r\nIf you are unable to join us in person, please click the link below to join the

By bringing together insights from archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology, this symposium seeks to bring attention to the intricate ways in which fairness and (in)equality come to matter across scales and times and through human and nonhuman divides. \r\n \r\nThis event is free and open to the public; please register to attend.\r\n\r\nSPEAKERS\r\n\r\nArchaeology: Anna Agbe-Davies, UNC-Chapel Hill\r\nBiological Anthropology: Katherine McAuliffe, Boston College\r\nLinguistic Anthropology: Justin Richland, UC Irvine\r\nSociocultural Anthropology: Anastasia Piliavsky, King\u2019s College London\r\n\r\nIf you need accommodations in order to attend, please email anthro.exec.secretary@umich.edu.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"135599-21876982@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/135599", "building_id":"1000120", "building_name":"Michigan Union", "building_official_id":1000120, "campus_maps_id":"191", "campus_maps_link_path":"michigan-union", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/michigan-union", "room":"Pendleton Room (second floor)", "location_name":"Michigan Union", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Anthropology"], "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/anthro", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/anthro", "title":"Anthropology department website" }, { "type":"registration", "url":"https:\/\/forms.gle\/AhifGqgeMHFMpDbs8", "title":"Register" }, { "type":"livestream", "url":"https:\/\/ummedia01.umnet.umich.edu\/lsa\/ant102425.html", "title":"Livestream" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Anthropology", "group_id":"3469", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/anthro" }, { "group_name":"Museum of Anthropological Archaeology", "group_id":"3760", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Archaeology at Michigan", "group_id":"5160", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/05\/event_135599_original-2.png", "image_description":"Two plants grow side by side.

But most globally popular drugs, such as tobacco, coffee, cannabis, and cocaine, are highly toxic plant defensive chemicals that activate evolved toxin defense mechanisms, which has been termed the paradox of drug reward. Analyses of large national and cross-national datasets reveals how evolved toxin defense mechanisms profoundly shape age and sex patterns of drug use. Comparative evidence from primates and other species, as well as from hunter-gatherers, suggests that a \u201ctaste\u201d for drugs might have evolved as a form of self-medication against parasites.\r\n\r\nAbout the speaker: Edward Hagen received his BA in mathematics from UC Berkeley and his Ph.D. from UC Santa Barbara. After a postdoc position at the Institute for Theoretical Biology in Berlin, he moved to his current position at Washington State University. His primary research focus is evolutionary medicine. He studies the evolution of depression, suicidality, and self-harm as credible signals of need in times of conflict as well as evolutionary explanations for tobacco and other plant toxin use. He also investigates the evolution of leadership, religion, and music.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"140290-21886885@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/140290", "building_id":"", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "building_official_id":null, "campus_maps_id":"1", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"4th Floor Program Room", "location_name":"Ann Abor District Library, Downtown Branch, 4th Floor Program Room", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Anthropology"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Psychology", "group_id":"3615", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/psych\/" }, { "group_name":"Evolution & Human Adaptations Program (EHAP)", "group_id":"4027", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "image_description":"Edward Hagen headshot", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/10\/event_140290_original-1.png" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/140290\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21886885 } , { "id":"140891-21887775", "datetime_modified":"20251030T150404", "datetime_start":"20251101T130000", "datetime_end":"20251101T143000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-01", "date_end":"2025-11-01", "time_start":"13:00:00", "time_end":"14:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"The GEM of Giza: The Grand Egyptian Museum Gala Livestream", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"The GEM of Giza: The Grand Egyptian Museum Gala Livestream", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Livestream \/ Virtual", "event_type_id":"24", "description":"*Please note: Registration for this event is now closed.*\r\n\r\nOn November 1, 2025, the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) will hold a gala opening attended by queens, kings, and presidents from around the world.

Benedict's work has largely been overshadowed by her physical and mental breakdown resulting from the grueling conditions she faced in the field, but likewise, Fernandez argues, was a situation that stemmed from her intense commitment not only to the work of research, but also to her deep identifications with the Bagobos. According to her contemporaries, her later fieldwork was characterized by an increasing \"paranoia\" towards the American hemp planters of the region, whose incursions, she believed, caused \"a severe crisis in [the Bagobos'] tribal history,\" representing a breakdown of their \"traditional\" way of life, thus looking on in horror at the Bagobos' acculturation. This talk analyzes Benedict's fieldwork to make sense of the early history of anthropological fieldwork in the American colonial Philippines by contextualizing Benedict's fieldwork praxis through her gendered experiences of research, and examining the way that the Bagobos of Mindanao invited, of their own volition, Benedict's participation in their cultural and religious life.\r\n \r\n Juan Fernandez is assistant professor of Southeast Asian history at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, where he is working on his first book project, \"Becoming Natives,\" which is a history of how gender and ethnographic fieldwork intertwine to produce anthropological knowledge in the early twentieth century in the American Philippines.\r\n\r\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu.

Some say it was invented from kitchen scraps in a California mining kitchen during the Gold Rush. Others claim it was an American invention\u2014journalist Jennifer 8. Lee calls it \"the greatest hoax played by one culture on another.\"\r\n\r\nBut what if I told you that chop suey was once a popular banquet food in China\u2014and that it was enjoyed not only by ruling elites, but by the emperor himself? Far from being leftovers or cultural deception, chop suey graced imperial tables and wealthy merchant feasts for centuries before crossing the Pacific.\r\n\r\nThis talk explores the gourmet Chinese roots of chop suey through old banquet menus and imperial records, tracing its surprising journey from Qing dynasty haute cuisine to American convenience food. In recovering this forgotten history, it offers a new view of how Chinese American cuisine actually emerged\u2014and reveals how crucial the study of foreign languages is for telling the American story.\r\n\r\nProfessor August E.

At the same time, widening income inequality within countries, increased financial market volatility and the decline of manufacturing in the wealthiest of countries has produced a backlash to globalization. What will be the consequences if the world economy becomes less integrated?\r\n\r\nIf you are unable to join us in person, please click the link below to join the webinar.\r\n\r\nJoin from PC, Mac, iPad, or Android:\r\nhttps:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/93973802185\r\n\r\nPhone one-tap:\r\n+16469313860,,93973802185# US\r\n+13017158592,,93973802185# US (Washington DC)\r\n\r\nJoin via audio:\r\n+1 646 931 3860 US\r\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\r\n+1 305 224 1968 US\r\n+1 309 205 3325 US\r\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\r\n+1 646 876 9923 US (New York)\r\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\r\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\r\n+1 360 209 5623 US\r\n+1 386 347 5053 US\r\n+1 507 473 4847 US\r\n+1 564 217 2000 US\r\n+1 669 444 9171 US\r\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\r\n+1 689 278 1000 US\r\n+1 719 359 4580 US\r\n+1 253 205 0468 US\r\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\r\n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\r\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\r\n+1 780 666 0144 Canada\r\n+1 204 272 7920 Canada\r\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\r\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\r\nWebinar ID: 939 7380 2185\r\nInternational numbers available: https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/u\/ayXtq0qRB", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"137130-21879787@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/137130", "building_id":"1000165", "building_name":"Weiser Hall", "building_official_id":1000165, "campus_maps_id":"47", "campus_maps_link_path":"weiser-hall", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/weiser-hall", "room":"10th Floor", "location_name":"Weiser Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Anthropology"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts", "group_id":"1020", "website":"http:\/\/facebook.com\/UMichLSA" }, { "group_name":"Department of Physics", "group_id":"1965", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies", "group_id":"2625", "website":"http:\/\/ii.umich.edu\/lrccs\/" }, { "group_name":"Department of Economics", "group_id":"3302", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/econ" }, { "group_name":"Department of Anthropology", "group_id":"3469", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/anthro" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "image_description":"Photo", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137130_original-1.png" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/137130\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21879787 } , { "id":"135598-21876980", "datetime_modified":"20250828T123027", "datetime_start":"20251114T150000", "datetime_end":"20251114T163000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-11-14", "date_end":"2025-11-14", "time_start":"15:00:00", "time_end":"16:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Bananapocalypse: Un\/Making Plantation Capitalism", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Bananapocalypse: Un\/Making Plantation Capitalism: U-M Anthropology 2025 Roy A.

Rappaport Lecture Series, \u201cBananapocalypse: Un\/Making Plantation Capitalism,\u201d with Assistant Professor Alyssa Paredes:\r\n\r\n\u201cExistential crises hang over the producers of the world\u2019s food. Many of these challenges are self-inflicted. In the banana-growing regions of the Southern Philippines, which produce fruit for export to Japanese markets, plantations unleash pesticide drift, food waste, water effluent, and fungal pathogens into the surroundings. The plantocratic elite systematically shirks responsibility for these excesses, using legal contracts, scientific conventions, and standards of trade to frame them as \u201cexternal\u201d to their supply chains. However, plantation management is regularly proven wrong in its assumption that the things they try to push downstream will not double back to haunt them. Everyday actors on the plantations\u2019 peripheries transform the devices designed to work against them into openings for intervention. Their efforts implore critical scholars of the environment and of global economies to take seriously the possibility that Big Ag\u2019s increasingly frequent failures to reproduce itself are more than just minor inconveniences to business-as-usual. In this series of lectures, I trace the afterlives of the externalities that commodity production obscures, disguises, or otherwise erases from its ambit of accountability. In so doing, I offer an ethnographic model for turning the commodity studies model, inherited from generations of anthropologists, inside-out.\u201d\r\n\r\nRappaport lectures will take place on the following fall Fridays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in 411 West Hall.

Rappaport Lecture Series, \u201cBananapocalypse: Un\/Making Plantation Capitalism,\u201d with Assistant Professor Alyssa Paredes:\r\n\r\n\u201cExistential crises hang over the producers of the world\u2019s food. Many of these challenges are self-inflicted. In the banana-growing regions of the Southern Philippines, which produce fruit for export to Japanese markets, plantations unleash pesticide drift, food waste, water effluent, and fungal pathogens into the surroundings. The plantocratic elite systematically shirks responsibility for these excesses, using legal contracts, scientific conventions, and standards of trade to frame them as \u201cexternal\u201d to their supply chains. However, plantation management is regularly proven wrong in its assumption that the things they try to push downstream will not double back to haunt them. Everyday actors on the plantations\u2019 peripheries transform the devices designed to work against them into openings for intervention. Their efforts implore critical scholars of the environment and of global economies to take seriously the possibility that Big Ag\u2019s increasingly frequent failures to reproduce itself are more than just minor inconveniences to business-as-usual. In this series of lectures, I trace the afterlives of the externalities that commodity production obscures, disguises, or otherwise erases from its ambit of accountability. In so doing, I offer an ethnographic model for turning the commodity studies model, inherited from generations of anthropologists, inside-out.\u201d\r\n\r\nRappaport lectures will take place on the following fall Fridays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in 411 West Hall.

Parsing the relative effects of these factors and understanding interactions among them requires a clear view of the timing and nature of bow use across North America\u2019s diverse geography. This talk explores adoption of the bow in North America from two perspectives. First, I\u2019ll present evidence for the bow\u2019s earliest appearance, use in conjunction with other projectile technologies, and effects on economic and other systems in several North American ecoregions. Second, I'll present a novel model of technological investment (uptake) that considers effects of people\u2019s social roles: Whether people are craft specialists or do-it-yourselfer tool producers\u2013users affects rates of adoption. This hypothesis has global-scale implications, which I\u2019ll demonstrate through regional case studies.

Where much previous work has focused on individual African thinkers, this approach allows us to see a collective intellectual community co-creating foundational ideas that grounded new intellectual and political responses to colonialism. I demonstrate this by examining changing discourse among early Xhosa intellectuals, journalists, and political activists writing in these papers. I examine how early discourse from missionary-educated Xhosa communities shifted from a focus on spiritual concerns to political engagement, revealing a surprisingly early reorientation from \u2018other worldly\u2019 to \u2018worldly\u2019 concerns and sources of power. I also examine how competing conceptions of nationhood emerged in the Xhosa language, and trace how these conceptions rose and fell in these early years.\r\n \r\nJonathan Schoots is a historical and political sociologist specializing in the study of colonialism and empire, political movements, and knowledge production, with a particular focus on South Africa.

The proxy-pattern mixture model (PPMM) offers a method for conducting a sensitivity that assumes a nonignorable selection mechanism, where selection depends on survey outcomes of interest. This approach requires summary-level auxiliary information for the target population of interest from a reference data source. While PPMM methods have been successfully applied to derive overall population-level estimates, extension to domain-level estimates is challenging when population-level summaries for the specific subgroup are unavailable. This occurs when the domain indicator is observed only in the survey, or for complex intersectional subgroups where stable\/reliable population-level auxiliary variable estimates are unavailable. To combat this issue, we propose a novel approach: creating nonignorable selection weights based on the PPMM based on a re-expression of the PPMM as a selection model. These weights can be directly applied to calculate domain-level estimates, circumventing the need for domain-specific population-level summaries of auxiliary variables. They rely on a single sensitivity parameter (ranging from 0 to 1) that captures a spectrum of nonresponse assumptions, ranging from an ignorable mechanism to an extreme nonignorable mechanism. We discuss differences in weight construction for continuous versus binary outcomes, describe the necessary assumptions for these weights to produce informative domain-level estimates, and illustrate properties through simulation. We then apply the approach to the Census Household Pulse Survey to estimate various subgroup quantities under a range of assumptions on the selection mechanism.\r\n\r\nRebecca R.

SIA studies by many researchers have investigated if there is a difference isotopically between the two states of preserved macrobotanicals, and some suggest that there is a difference in the stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic values. However, the majority of these studies focus on Eurasian crops, especially those of the C3 pathway. To our knowledge, the difference between desiccated and charred remains of North and South American crops has not been as thoroughly conducted, and not between C3 vs C4 pathways. In this study, we experimentally charred important North and South American crop staples, such as multiple varieties of corn (maize), avocado, and legumes. The results of this study will allow archaeologists to assess whether to apply an offset to allow for comparable results between desiccated and charred plant remains. This study is especially important, as it provides insight into if charring creates a greater offset between C3 desiccated and charred remains, or between C4 desiccated and charred remains, implying a different offset needed based on the photosynthetic pathway that the sample is identified as.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"144748-21895805@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144748", "building_id":"1000221", "building_name":"School of Education", "building_official_id":1000221, "campus_maps_id":"136", "campus_maps_link_path":"school-of-education", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/school-of-education", "room":"1322", "location_name":"School of Education", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Anthropology"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Museum of Anthropological Archaeology", "group_id":"3760", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Anthropology", "group_id":"3469", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/anthro" }, { "group_name":"Interdepartmental Program in Ancient Mediterranean Art and Archaeology", "group_id":"3719", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Archaeology at Michigan", "group_id":"5160", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "image_description":"Thirteen bowls of various seeds and cobs on a red embroidered tablecloth", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144748_original-1.png" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144748\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21895805 } , { "id":"143772-21893993", "datetime_modified":"20260114T104637", "datetime_start":"20260130T150000", "datetime_end":"20260130T163000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-01-30", "date_end":"2026-01-30", "time_start":"15:00:00", "time_end":"16:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Sociocultural Anthropology Colloquium | \u201cHopesick: Care and Community in America\u2019s Opioid Crisis\u201d", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Sociocultural Anthropology Colloquium | \u201cHopesick: Care and Community in America\u2019s Opioid Crisis\u201d: China Scherz: Kristin Yudt Collegiate Professor of Global Affairs, Keough School of Global Affairs, University of Notre Dame", "event_subtitle":"China Scherz: Kristin Yudt Collegiate Professor of Global Affairs, Keough School of Global Affairs, University of Notre Dame", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"\u201cFor many Christians, the belief that God can and does act directly in the world can be a tremendous source of hope. Against seemingly insurmountable challenges, there is a sense that the miraculous may truly be possible. And yet, things don\u2019t always work out. In this talk, I explore these dynamics of hope and disappointment through the life of a young woman living with opioid use disorder in Central Appalachia. Drawing on five years of collaborative ethnographic fieldwork in non-denominational churches and clinics providing Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), this talk considers the theological and interpersonal stakes of hope and despair in Appalachian communities living through the on-going opioid crisis. In it, I explore the vernacular use of the term \u2018hopesick\u2019 as a possible alternative to concepts of co-dependent resentment, compassion fatigue, and abandonment. Moving beyond moments of hopesick rage and grief, the later sections of the talk explore what we might learn from recovering \u2018hopefiends\u2019 who have found less risky ways to engage with the euphoric highs of hope so that they may continue on with greater compassion for themselves and others.\u201d\r\n\r\nChina Scherz is the Kristin Yudt Collegiate Professor of Global Affairs in the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame.

This historical framework will also introduce early examinations of the taphonomy of such residues, as well as the various skepticisms that arose about the accuracy of resulting AMS ages. Second, among the acknowledged benefits of this relatively new approach was recognition that such ages were direct dates on one or a series of cooking behaviors, rather than an age on datable materials in near, or not so near, physical association with objects of interest. This benefit was often initially focused on chronology building. Subsequent research extended to questions about the freshwater reservoir effect and offsets and evaluation of stable isotope content particularly with respect to the presence of maize\/ The latter included analysis of plant microfossils.

The Center\u2019s International Methods team focuses on designing, implementing, monitoring, and improving these surveys throughout the year. In this talk, we present two research projects from 2025 in Australia and Sweden.\r\n\r\nMany surveys around the world, across modes and methods, have tended to show a slight left-leaning political bias. Weighting to past vote or party affiliation is a common solution, but these corrections alone may create excessive variance inflation. We faced this problem in our surveys fielded on the mixed-mode Life in Australia probability panel, administered by the Australian National University\u2019s Social Research Centre. To combat this bias, we tested a \u201cvoting-adjusted\u201d sampling approach recommended by our partners at SRC, in parallel with our previous standard stratified sampling design. Taking advantage of panel information and recent Australian elections, the new method incorporates self-reported 2022 vote into individual weights which are used as a measure of size for PPS sampling. After reviewing the technical details behind this approach, we\u2019ll discuss our findings on its impact on variance and substantive estimates compared to the standard design.\r\n\r\nPush-to-web (P2W) designs are gaining traction in Europe as an alternative to costly \u2013 and methodologically challenged \u2013 interviewer-administered approaches. For instance, the European Social Survey announced that by 2027 online and paper self-administered surveys will be their primary means of data collection replacing their traditional face-to-face approach. To better understand this mode and its potential for future waves of GAP, we recently piloted an ABS-style, sequential P2W survey in Sweden to compare with our traditional dual-frame phone design (DFRDD). Our presentation will compare P2W and DFRDD sample outcomes in terms of data quality (such as response rates, response differentiation, survey engagement, and open-ended answer quality), representativeness (versus demographic parameters for gender, education, age and geography) and attitudinal estimates (considering the viability of long-term data trends if mode transitioned in Sweden). The P2W survey included an unconditional incentive experiment as well as a paper questionnaire mailing, allowing us to present findings regarding the value of these design elements. This section of the talk concludes with key takeaways and recommendations for future mode-transition trials. \r\n\r\nSofi Sinozich is a research methodologist in international methods at Pew Research Center.

to the Museum: Experiences at the Museum of Natural History of Bern (Patricia Torres-Pineda, PhD student, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology)\nMore than 60 million natural history specimens are housed in Swiss museums, universities, botanical gardens, and other heritage institutions. Nationwide investment in storage, databasing, and policy development actively advances museomics, digitization, anti-racism initiatives, and provenance research. As a result, these collections are increasingly recognized as dynamic archives for phylogenetic and global change research, rather than as static displays. Join me to reflect on my experiences in one of the most important natural history museums and collections of Switzerland.\n\nArt, Labor, and Landscape at MOWAA: Centering Production, Environmental Knowledge, & Community in Museum Interpretation (Timilehin Ayelagbe, PhD student, Anthropology)\nThis presentation reflects on my internship at the Museum of West African Art Edo (MOWAA), where I contributed to research, interpretation, and the curation of an exhibition. Drawing on both my MOWAA experience and my UM Museum Studies training, I discuss exhibition-making by centering production processes, environmental knowledge, and community context rather than focusing only on finished objects. The talk highlights how archaeological and ecological perspectives shaped my curatorial decisions and how this experience deepened my understanding of emerging museum practice in West Africa.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"145801-21897834@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/145801", "building_id":"", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "building_official_id":null, "campus_maps_id":"1", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Virtual", "has_livestream":1, "livestream_type":"zoom", "livetream_require_login":0, "livestream_id":"94275681405", "livestream_link":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/94275681405", "cost":"", "tags":["Anthropology"], "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/umichmsp", "links":[ { "type":"facebook", "url":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/umichmsp", "title":"MSP Facebook" }, { "type":"twitter", "url":"https:\/\/twitter.com\/umichmsp", "title":"MSP Twitter" }, { "type":"other", "url":"http:\/\/ummsp.rackham.umich.edu\/", "title":"MSP website" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Museum Studies Program", "group_id":"1801", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Ecology and Evolutionary Biology", "group_id":"1190", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Anthropology", "group_id":"3469", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/anthro" }, { "group_name":"Museum of Anthropological Archaeology", "group_id":"3760", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/02\/event_145801_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Announcement of 2 museum studies internship presentations including descriptions of the Museum of Natural History of Bern and the Museum of West African Art Edo.

This panel brings together activists, scholars, and writers to explore connections between critical social issues\u2014health justice, discrimination, technofascism, and surveillance\u2014and the possibilities of grassroots response. Panelists will discuss tensions between collectivizing and collaborating: How do we negotiate care when our access to care hinges on being identified and enumerated by the state? What tactics for resistance might we use in digital communities that are subject to increased surveillance? How can we be there for and with each other?\n\nThis event is open to the public, and we encourage all interested faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students to attend. \n\nSandwiches from Potbelly will be provided to the first 100 attendees.\n\nA corresponding opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to enjoy a networking lunch with the panelists will be available. Interested students may register for this session using the same form as the main event.\n\nAdvance registration is recommended:\n\nRegister to attend in-person: https:\/\/myumi.ch\/5kG6V\nRegister to attend on Zoom: https:\/\/myumi.ch\/g3bqG \n\nMeet the Panelists\n\nVictoria Copeland is a disabled organizer and researcher based at the UCLA Center for Resilience and Digital Justice. She is interested in abolitionist approaches to addressing harm, specifically that which is mediated by data and technology. Their research is often conducted in collaboration with grassroots organizations and explores the various ways that state violence permeates through our relationships with institutions, ourselves, and each other and how we can resist it. Victoria received her Ph.D and Masters in Social Welfare, and was formerly a Senior Policy Analyst focused on technology and social policy.\n\nMegan Fereday is a nonbinary, multiply-neurodivergent PhD student based at the University of Southampton. Their PhD project (funded AHRC) investigates the role of social media platforms in young people\u2019s queer-neurodivergent resistance practices, and explores the possibilities and potentials of digital neuroqueering among younger users. Megan is a member of the Narratives of Neurodiversity Network and the Queer Medical Humanities Network, and is currently enrolled in the Neurodivergent Humanities Network\u2019s mentorship scheme. Megan\u2019s work has been recently published in the Journal of Cultural Analysis and Social Change. \n\nKim Fernandes is an Assistant Professor of Sociocultural Anthropology at Brown University. They hold a joint PhD (with distinction) in Anthropology and Education from the University of Pennsylvania, and recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Information. Kim's ethnographic and historical research addresses questions of how the body is shaped through interactions with data and technology, focusing particularly on the enumeration and identification of disability. Their work has been funded by the Social Science Research Council and the Taraknath Das Foundation. Kim is the Managing Editor of Platypus, an interdisciplinary science studies blog. They are also an affiliate at Data & Society and the Center for Information, Technology and Public Life.\n\nWells Lucas Santo (he\/she\/they) is a queer, non-binary, and disabled Indonesian and Taiwanese American PhD student at the University of Michigan School of Information focusing on critical race and algorithmic justice, in particular on how algorithmic technologies disparately impact marginalized communities across the interlocking axes of race, gender, sexuality, and disability. Prior to his return to academia, he worked in the non-profit education equity space, where he built inclusive, accessible, and culturally responsive curriculum on artificial intelligence and social justice, serving as the Director of Education at SMASH (Kapor Center), the original Education Manager at AI4ALL, and an Advisory Board Member for the AI4K12 initiative. In these capacities, he has spoken about the societal implications of AI at venues such as the United Nations Youth Assembly, the Annual oSTEM Conference, and top universities such as Columbia, NYU, and CMU. His current research focuses on the \u201cAsian\u201d racial classification and its formation and history in the United States, specifically how state data, diasporic community activism, image datasets, and facial analysis algorithms reify and essentialize a US-centric, pan-Asian racial category, which is then exported transnationally as a racial\/colonial project.\n\nCheng-Hsiu (Shin) Yang is a digital governance strategist and interdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of AI-integrated product design, legal frameworks, and community infrastructure. She holds an LL.M. in Interdisciplinary Legal Studies from National Chengchi University and is currently pursuing her LL.M. at UCLA School of Law (Class of 2026). With a hybrid background in law and product management, Shin has led cross-functional teams in privacy-focused AI product development, and separately, in building open-source infrastructure for independent community platforms. Her work focuses on designing ethical governance frameworks for digital spaces that operate without identity verification, public profiles, or algorithmic enforcement\u2014prioritizing anonymity, relational trust, and rhythm-based moderation. For a decade, she has maintained a self-hosted digital community platform centered in Taiwan and serving primarily Mandarin-speaking gender and sexual minorities. The platform has grown into a pluralistic ecosystem with over 50,000 monthly users, governed by ethical, and community-led practices. She has also contributed to global discussions on the governance of intimate and stigmatized content online, especially in contexts where overregulation limits expression and safety. Her research explores plural digital publics, platform ethics, and post-verification governance models.\n\nMeet the Moderator \n\nM. Remi Yergeau (they\/them\/theirs) is an associate professor in Communication and Media Studies. Their scholarly interests include critical disability studies, rhetoric, digital studies, trans and queer studies, and neurodiversity. Yergeau is an autistic academic. Their knowledge of the autistic internet is informed by the scholarly and the personal: they once ran a neurodiversity blog, led a student chapter of an autistic-led org, and coordinated local protests. Their book, Authoring Autism: On Rhetoric and Neurological Queerness (Duke UP), is a winner of the 2017 Modern Language Association First Book Prize, the 2019 CCCC Lavender Rhetorics Book Award for Excellence in Queer Scholarship, and the 2019 Rhetoric Society of America Book Award.\n\nWe want to make our events accessible to all participants.

This is connected to medicine\u2019s insistence on a \u2018view from nowhere,\u2019 perceiving nature without changing it. Meanwhile, STS scholars have long taught us about looping effects between categories and the world. In this talk, I present ethnography on painful bodies in Thailand, where the idea of looping between category and reality is part of everyday cosmology. I share about: doctors who worry that giving \u2018chronic pain\u2019 a diagnostic code will bring it into being; monks who suspect that pain equals fear-of-death, leading them to induce near-death experiences; anesthesiologists with evidence that poor Thai patients need less anesthesia during surgery (because lifelong pain-as-necessity crafts brains with low-pain neurotransmitter profiles?); and patients who dream that pain is a reincarnated being and awake with different pain. Through this ontological adventure, I ask whether STS might benefit not just from ethically identifying co-constructionism as a sociohistorical force, but also from examining times and places where people work co-constructionism to their advantage as a matter of course.\u201d\n\nScott Stonington is a medical and cultural anthropologist, and an internal medicine physician. His research broadly addresses the globalization of biomedical ethics and expertise. His first project in this area focused on decision-making at the end of life in Thailand, where individuals face a complex combination of ethical frameworks generated by high-tech medical care, human-rights politics, and the metaphysical demands of dying. Dr. Stonington spent two years accompanying Thai elders at their deathbeds, documenting their children\u2019s attempts to pay back their \u201cdebt of life\u201d via intensive medical care, as well as the ensuing \u201cspirit ambulance,\u201d a rush to get patients on life-support home at the last possible moment to orchestrate the final breath in a spiritually advantageous place. Dr. Stonington\u2019s second project in this area focuses on global debates over the use of opiates for pain management. He spent a year accompanying patients in severe pain in Northern Thailand as they navigated their suffering within a fraught ethical environment, from Thailand\u2019s brutal drug war, to its Buddhist-based value for pain as a spiritual path, to a broader global ambivalence about how best to treat pain. Dr. Stonington\u2019s secondary research agenda addresses medical epistemology in the U.S., specifically how health practitioners decide what constitutes true and\/or useful knowledge and how this affects patients. This work grows out of his ongoing practice as an Internal Medicine physician, both in the hospital and in primary care.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"146333-21898905@events.umich.edu",

Belin Lecture, titled \u201cOrthodox Jewish Wellness Influencers in the Age of Viral Politics.\u201d \r\n\r\nOver the past decade, frum (Orthodox) Jewish women wellness influencers on social media have become a significant presence. Despite attempts by some rabbis to silence them, frum influencers in the United States and Israel continue to share intimate details of their everyday lives online, earning a living through the promotion of products linked to their platforms. Professor Fader\u2019s talk examines the seemingly contradictory worlds these influencers navigate: while claiming new forms of gendered authority, they simultaneously reinforce traditional Jewish family structures and gender roles.\r\n\r\nDrawing inspiration from conservative Christian wellness influencers, frum influencers create content that asserts Jewish exceptionalism while fostering unexpected exchanges with conservative Christian women. The lecture will consider whether frum social media influencers are subtly promoting illiberal politics through the gendered language of wellness.\r\n\r\nAyala Fader is Professor of Anthropology and Jewish Studies at Fordham University. She is the author of the award-winning books Mitzvah Girls (2009) and Hidden Heretics (2020). Professor Fader\u2019s research has been generously supported by numerous fellowships and grants, including those from the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. As the founding director of Fordham\u2019s New York Center for Public Anthropology & Sociology, she leads the Demystifying Language Project, which makes linguistic anthropology a social justice resource for public high schools.\r\n\r\n\r\nABOUT THE BELIN LECTURE:\r\n\r\nThe David W. Belin Lecture in American Jewish Affairs was established in 1991 through a generous gift from the late David W. Belin of Des Moines (IA) and New York to provide an academic forum for the discussion of contemporary Jewish life in the United States. As the founding chair of Reform Judaism's Outreach Commission and a founding member of the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, Belin served the American Jewish community in numerous leadership roles. His commitment to the future of American Jewry inspired him to endow this annual lectureship, providing a forum for meaningful discussion of contemporary Jewish life in the United States.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"141047-21888020@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/141047", "building_id":"1000120", "building_name":"Michigan Union", "building_official_id":1000120, "campus_maps_id":"191", "campus_maps_link_path":"michigan-union", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/michigan-union", "room":"Pendleton Room", "location_name":"Michigan Union", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Anthropology"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/15606", "links":[ { "type":"sessions", "url":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/15606", "title":"RSVP" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Judaic Studies", "group_id":"1059", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_141047_original-1.png", "image_description":"Frum Wellness Influencers.

In this presentation, Chantal Croteau focuses on one such industry \u2013 the tin mining industry, which exploded along the southwestern coast of then Siam in the 19th century, generating significant social and economic changes and bringing individuals with different ethnoreligious identities, categories themselves remade and reformulated over time, together in arduous and risky labor, before the collapse of the industry in the late-1980s.\n \n Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and oral history conversations, she examines the relations of kinship, precarity, and loss generated through the volatile world of the boom-and-bust southern tin mining industry, a world made all the more unstable by earlier state practices that had cultivated debt and addiction within the mining community. Attending to narratives of economic precarity and migration and embodied practices of kinship such as the sharing of food and the caretaking of spiritually dangerous deceased persons, she analyzes how the building of intimacy and kinship can operate as a strategy of survival in unpredictable times. However, as the histories of my interlocutors reveal, the making of kinship requires continuous cultivation, as relations are fraught with fragility and risk.\n \n Chantal Croteau is a PhD Candidate in Sociocultural Anthropology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her long-term research investigates the intersections between extractive industries, ecological change, and intercommunal relations in southern Thailand. Previously, she was a Charlotte W. Newcombe Fellow in religion and ethics. Her creative ethnographic work has been featured in Anthropology & Humanism, Practicing Anthropology, and Anthropology News.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at valdezjo@umich.edu.

Shade is also a special topic of conversation. Attending to the material culture of shade and to embodied ways of engaging built and natural environments, I explore how thermal desires and expectations shape social relations in the Mozambican city of Inhambane, while locating shade-seeking practices within hierarchies of care and labor, or what I call the cultural politics of sweat. Thinking with scholars of thermal colonialism, I show how narratives around thermal dis\/comfort also reveal, and sometimes obscure, entrenched forms of colorism rooted in colonial imaginaries of the tropics and settler intimacies that continue to produce privilege and exclusion in Mozambique today. Shade-seeking, then, is not simply about keeping cool, though it certainly is about that too.\u201d\n\nDr. Archambault is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Concordia University and co-editor of AFRICA: Journal of the International Institute. Her work is based on ethnographic research in southern Mozambique and focuses on themes of intimacy, suburbanization, affect, and embodiment.
