Focusing on sensory and affective practices of washing and preparing bodies, it reads water as a medium of transition and passage, inviting us to think beyond political borders toward alternative understandings of belonging.\n\nJyoti Puri is a feminist sociologist whose research and teaching primarily focuses on structural and institutional forms of regulation from the perspectives of marginalized subjects. Through her books and numerous essays, she explores how states and nations govern bodies, genders, sexualities, and death; examines the transnational aspects of governance shaped by colonial histories and postcolonial legacies; and strives to decenter Eurocentric theory and perspectives. She is the winner of Jessie Bernard Award (2021) from the American Sociological Association (ASA), as well as the Simon-Gagnon Lifetime Achievement Award (2023) from the ASA's Sexualities Section.", "occurrence_notes":"open to U-M faculty, students, and staff", "guid":"151476-21911644@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/151476", "building_id":"1000150", "building_name":"LSA Building", "campus_maps_id":"87", "room":"4154", "location_name":"LSA Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sociology","Women's And Gender Studies"], "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/wgs", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Women's and Gender Studies Department", "group_id":"2809", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/wgs" }, { "group_name":"Department of Sociology", "group_id":"3478", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_151476_original-2.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/crop-event_151476_original-2.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21911644 } , "150278-21908575": { "datetime_modified":"20260814T152258", "datetime_start":"20260917T160000", "datetime_end":"20260917T180000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-09-17", "date_end":"2026-09-17", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"18:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Democracy in Motion: The Advancement of Democracy in Korea and the Students at the Frontline", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Democracy in Motion: The Advancement of Democracy in Korea and the Students at the Frontline: Third Thursdays at the Library", "event_subtitle":"Third Thursdays at the Library", "event_type":"Reception \/ Open House", "event_type_id":"17", "description":"Nearly eighty years have passed since the establishment of the Republic of Korea in the South and the Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the North in 1948. This exhibit features selected library collections that trace the history and major milestones of Korean democracy, with particular attention to the vital role of student movements.\n\nAt pivotal moments in modern Korean history, students stood at the forefront of resistance to authoritarian rule and military oppression. Their activism became a powerful force in the pursuit of political freedom and contributed significantly to the advancement of democracy in Korea. Spanning the period from Korea\u2019s first president, Syngman Rhee, to current president Lee Jae-myung, this exhibit invites visitors to reflect on Korea\u2019s long, complex, and ongoing journey toward democratization. \n\nPresented by the library in conjunction with Democracy Week at Michigan and in collaboration with the Nam Center for Korean Studies.\n\nThird Thursdays at the Library is a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you\u2019re here, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of this month's Third Thursday locations \u2014 Asia Library, Clark Library, International Studies, and the Special Collections Research Center \u2014 to win a prize!", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"150278-21908575@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/150278", "building_id":"1000181", "building_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "campus_maps_id":"65", "room":"Asia Library, 4th Floor", "location_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Asia","Democracy Week","Free","Korea","Library"], "website":"https:\/\/www.lib.umich.edu\/events", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University Library", "group_id":"1186", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UMichLibrary\/" }, { "group_name":"Nam Center for Korean Studies", "group_id":"2738", "website":"http:\/\/www.ii.umich.edu\/ncks" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/08\/event_150278_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21908575 } }
