Pinto (School of Social Work) invites audiences to take part in an exhibition that examines his embodied gender states based on his intersecting childhood traumas and life experiences. In \"My Gender States,\" Pinto shares his deep and abiding grief related to the childhood death of his sister and the subsequent gender embodiments that ensued stemming from the belief that he was his deceased sister. \r\n\r\nUsing autoethnography, Pinto created a one-person play (\"Mar\u00edlia,\" 2015) and site-specific installation performance (\"The Realm of the Dead,\" 2022). These works explore the intersecting and shaping layers of childhood traumas, gender states, and his life experience\u2014a story of the struggles, fears, and accomplishments he experienced as an immigrant to the United States. In \"Realm,\" audiences circulated around 25 assemblage sculptures created from vintage suitcases and trunks that evoked the cemetery where Pinto\u2019s sister was buried and the literal and figurative baggage that he, a queer immigrant, carried with him. \"My Gender States\" is a selection of materials, images, and texts from \"Mar\u00edlia\" and \"Realm\" curated to more closely examine the themes of gender and sexuality in these works. Collected are portrayals of Pinto\u2019s gender states, gender confusion, gender embodiments, gender doubt, and reactions to gender stigma. \r\n\r\nRog\u00e9rio M. Pinto (Brazilian, American, b. 1965, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is a University Diversity Social Transformation Professor; Berit Ingersoll-Dayton Collegiate Professor of Social Work; and Professor of Theatre and Drama, School of Music, Theatre & Dance, at the University of Michigan. Pinto uses art-based methods to conduct community-engaged research in the United States and Brazil.\r\n\r\nThe photographs used in \"My Gender States\" are by Emerson Granillo (American, b. 1987); David Newton (American, b. 1993); and Nicholas Williams (American, b. 1994). The \"Realm\" assemblages featured in \"My Gender States\" were conceived by Pinto and designed by him, in collaboration with Sarah Tanner. \r\n\r\n\"My Gender States\" is on display in the Lane Hall Exhibit Space (first floor, 204 S State St) from January 23, to August 13, 2024. The exhibit is free and open to the public, M-F, 9am-4pm.\r\n\r\nHosted by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women\u2019s and Gender Studies Department.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"116487-21837161@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/116487", "building_id":"1000183", "building_name":"Lane Hall", "campus_maps_id":"84", "room":"", "location_name":"Lane Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Diversity","Exhibition","gender studies","Humanities","Immigration","International","Latin America","LGBT","Storytelling","Theater","Visual Arts"], "website":"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UMichIRWG", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Institute for Research on Women and Gender", "group_id":"1031", "website":"http:\/\/irwg.umich.edu\/" }, { "group_name":"School of Social Work", "group_id":"1158", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Women's and Gender Studies Department", "group_id":"2809", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/wgs" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_116487_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":145, "first_occurrence":21837029 } , "117710-21839863": { "datetime_modified":"20240528T101430", "datetime_start":"20240603T100000", "datetime_end":"20240603T110000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-06-03", "date_end":"2024-06-03", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"11:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"EEB Student Dissertation Defense: John David Curlis, EEB Ph.D. Student", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"EEB Student Dissertation Defense: John David Curlis, EEB Ph.D. Student: The Evolution and Analysis of Color Signals in Squamate Reptiles", "event_subtitle":"The Evolution and Analysis of Color Signals in Squamate Reptiles", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Preview: The effects of changing environments on phenotypic evolution are often studied in the context of climate and temperature change. However, changes in habitat structure and their associated light environments can also have substantial impacts on phenotypic evolution, especially for organisms that use color for intra- and interspecific signaling. According to the sensory drive hypothesis, adaptive signaling traits should use the colors that are most easily perceived in a given environmental context. However, such environments are likely to change as a result of anthropogenic activities, offering a powerful opportunity to test these predictions in natural populations. Using the Panamanian slender anole (Anolis apletophallus), which exhibits color polymorphism in its dewlap (categorized as a solid morph that is entirely orange and a bicolor morph that is mostly white with a small orange spot), we tested the relationship between morph frequencies and the light environment over nearly 40 years in a single population in Soberan\u00eda National Park, Panama. Our findings supported the sensory drive hypothesis, as dewlap morph frequencies were strongly correlated with light variables independently of neutral genetic structure. Moreover, we found surprisingly limited evidence that morphs differ in morphology, physiology, sperm characteristics, or behavior, suggesting that the historical stability and persistence of this color polymorphism over time may be primarily driven by the light environment. These results provide a framework for understanding the relative importance of factors that drive color evolution under changing light environments, especially as humans continue to alter habitat structure at unprecedented scales.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"117710-21839863@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/117710", "building_id":"1000172", "building_name":"Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)", "campus_maps_id":"71", "room":"Earl Lewis Room, Third Floor", "location_name":"Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["AEM Featured","biodiversity","Biology","Biosciences","Bsbsigns","department of ecology and evolutionary biology","Dissertation","ecology","Ecology & Biology","Ecology And Evolutionary Biology","ecosystem","Ecosystems","eeb","evolution","evolutionary biology","Graduate Students","Herbarium","Museum - Herbarium","Museum - Zoology"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Ecology and Evolutionary Biology", "group_id":"1190", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Program in Biology", "group_id":"3783", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"EEB Defenses", "group_id":"3821", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Research Museums Center", "group_id":"4159", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_117710_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21839863 } }
