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.

critically on discovering new reaction pathways and harnessing unusual oxidation states of earth-abundant metals. In this seminar, I will describe our recent work in two areas: (a) the rational design of molybdenum-based catalysts inspired by biological C\u2013H hydroxylases, and (b) the exploration of aluminum(II) chemistry for small molecule activation.\n\nIn the first part, I will outline our efforts to develop structural and functional mimics of Mo-dependent hydroxylases such as xanthine oxidase and ethylbenzene dehydrogenase. These studies aim to generate catalysts that can hydroxylate C\u2013H bonds in complex molecules with complementary site selectivity to existing technologies.\n\nIn the second part, I will highlight our discovery of Al\u2013Fe bond homolysis in heterobimetallic complexes as a route to Al-based radicals\u2014formally Al(II) species\u2014that exploit strain-induced biphilicity or redox non-innocence. These properties enable new pathways for small molecule activation. I will also discuss our use of data science tools to guide the development of catalytic C\u2013O bond functionalization reactions involving radical mechanisms.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"138394-21882892@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138394", "building_id":"1000158", "building_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "campus_maps_id":"34", "room":"1640", "location_name":"Chemistry Dow Lab", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Chemistry","Inorganic Chemistry","Science"], "website":"https:\/\/chem.uic.edu\/profiles\/neal-mankad\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Chemistry", "group_id":"3761", "website":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/chem" }, { "group_name":"Inorganic Chemistry", "group_id":"4387", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21882892 } , "144501-21895432": { "datetime_modified":"20260203T095116", "datetime_start":"20260310T160000", "datetime_end":"20260310T173000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-03-10", "date_end":"2026-03-10", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"WCEE Emerging Issues Lecture.

Focusing on Greenland, the lecture traces how debates over military basing, mineral extraction, Indigenous self-determination, and environmental protection have become tightly intertwined. These overlapping pressures have produced new frictions between Washington, Copenhagen, Brussels, and Nuuk, revealing that Arctic security today is not only about hard security, but also about trade, governance, and competing visions of identity and sovereignty. The lecture will situate the current drama on Greenland in the context of changes in Arctic security as a whole. The lecture will show that Greenland offers a critical lens through which to understand broader shifts in Arctic order: how alliances adapt, how local actors navigate external pressures, and how environmental change is transforming what \u201csecurity\u201d means in the twenty-first-century Arctic.\n\nDr. Gabriella Gricius is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Konstanz and a Fellow and the Media Coordinator with the North American and Arctic Defence and Security Network (NAADSN). She is also a Senior Fellow at the Arctic Institute. At the University of Konstanz, she is currently working on Nordic security community formation and hybrid threats in the European Arctic region.\n \n She received her PhD from Colorado State University's Political Science Department where her dissertation explored the prevalence of low-tension discourse in Greenland, Svalbard, the Northern Sea Route, and the Northwest Passage. Her writing is published in Foreign Policy, International Politics, European Security, amongst other outlets, and she has also been interviewed by BBC, the New York Times, and other major news outlets.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu.
