We link the Washington Post\u2019s database of congressional slaveholding to voting in the US House of Representatives in 1839-1861. As a summary, we examine standard voting-ideology scores and also key legislation. While slaveholding is a powerful predictor of voting, this relationship nearly vanishes if we control for representing a slave state. Relatedly, in slave states, the overwhelming majority of congressmen were slaveholders, even though the vast majority of eligible voters in that region were not. Case studies illustrate how \u2018crossover\u2019 politicians (e.g. nonslaveholders in slave states) conformed to dominant voting behavior.

His latest book, *In the Midst of Civilized Europe: The Pogroms of 1918-1921* and the *Onset of the Holocaust*, won a Canadian Jewish Literary Award and a Vine Book Award, and was a finalist for the Lionel Gelber Prize, the National Jewish Book Award, and the Wingate Literary Prize. Professor Veidlinger is also the author of the award-winning books, *In the Shadow of the Shtetl: Small-Town Jewish Life in Soviet Ukraine*, *The Moscow State Yiddish Theater: Jewish Culture on the Soviet Stage*, and *Jewish Public Culture in the Late Russian Empire*.\n\nDanielle Leavitt is a historian of modern Ukraine and the Soviet Union, with a particular interest in Russian and Ukrainian relations, human age, generation, and gender. Her work examines the function of generation and human age in Soviet history and works to insert the stories of underrepresented populations, such as the elderly and women, into consequential debates about stagnation, cultural life, Soviet collapse, post-Soviet economic and political development, and the Russo-Ukrainian war.\n \nDr. Leavitt\u2019s first book, *By the Second Spring: Seven Lives and One Year of the War in Ukraine* (2025, FSG), charted the lives of seven Ukrainians through the first year of Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine. Based on a unique set of online diaries, Leavitt contextualized her seven subjects, Ukrainian society, and its predicaments for a wide audience, introducing readers to a rigorous but accessible history of Ukraine, the Soviet Union, its collapse, and Russia\u2019s historical relationship with its neighbors.\n \nLeavitt received her PhD in History from Harvard University in 2023. From 2023-2025, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute.\n \nRonald Grigor Suny is the William H. Sewell Jr. Distinguished University Professor of History and Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan and Emeritus Professor of Political Science and History at the University of Chicago.\n \nProfessor Suny\u2019s intellectual interests have centered on the non-Russian nationalities of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, particularly those of the South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia). The \u201cnational question\u201d was an area of study that was woefully neglected for many decades until peoples of the periphery mobilized themselves in the Gorbachev years. His aim has been to consider the history of imperial Russia and the USSR without leaving out the non-Russian half of the population, to see how multi-nationality, processes of imperialism and nation-making shaped the state and society of that vast country. This in turn has led to work on the nature of empires and nations, studies in the historiography and methodology of studying social and cultural history, and a commitment to bridging the often-unbridgeable gap between the traditional concerns of historians and the methods and models of other social scientists.\n \nYurii Kaparulin is a historian and legal scholar who studies Eastern Europe's history and law, with particular interests in Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Human Rights, and International \u0421rimes. He is an associate professor in the Department of National, International Law, and Law Enforcement, and director of the Raphael Lemkin Center for Genocide Studies, at Kherson State University. He was awarded a 2024-27 Raoul Wallenberg Fellowship at the University of Michigan.\n \nKaparulin is the author of the book *Oleksandr Riabinin-Skliarevskyi (1878-1942): An Intellectual Biography of a Historian*, which reveals the background of the late Russian Empire, the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917-1921, and Soviet Ukraine in the 1920s and 1930s through the life of a repressed military officer and historian. His second current book project is titled *Between Soviet Modernization and the Holocaust: Jewish Agrarian Settlements in Southern Ukraine (1924-1948)*.\n \nMarkian Dobczansky was the Associate Director of the Russian, East European, and Eurasian Center at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he taught classes in Slavic and Eurasian Studies, Soviet and Ukrainian history, and EU Studies.\n \nHe received a Ph.D. in Russian\/Soviet history from Stanford University with a dissertation on the politics of culture in twentieth-century Kharkiv, and held post-doctoral fellowships at the University of Toronto and Columbia University. His research interests include the history of the Soviet Union, Ukraine, and Russia, the politics of culture, urban history, and the Cold War. He has also worked in an administrative capacity at the Central Eurasian Studies Society, the Shevchenko Scientific Society in the U.S., and the Kennan Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu.

This talk stitches a line from trans people to an expanded conception of trans, using a focus on trans ecological poetics to go beyond a focus on the human. I broaden the operation of \u201ctrans\u201d in trans media studies to include non-human movements, such as those made by animals, viruses, and movements across the boundaries between different environments. Trans media studies can extend the fields of media studies, transgender studies, and trans of color studies to connect more deeply to and through non-human entities. Still, any injunction for queer and trans studies to go beyond the human must reconcile with the history of trans, Palestinian, Black, and Indigenous people being deemed less than human. In this talk, I use the method of algorithmic analysis proposed in my book *Poetic Operations: Trans of Color Art in Digital Media* (Duke UP, 2022) to explore the operations that make up the poetics of three contemporary artworks\u2014*Sin Sol* (2020), an augmented reality installation I created with the Critical Realities Studio, *Acoustic Ocean* (2018), a short film by Ursula Biemann and \u201cOf Whales\u201d, a film created using virtual reality created by Wu Tsang.\n\nmicha c\u00e1rdenas, PhD, MFA, is an artist, author and Professor of Critical Race & Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She is the director of the Critical Realities Studio. Her debut novel* Atoms Never Touch* (AK Press 2023) imagines trans latina love crossing multiple quantum realities. Her academic monograph P*oetic Operations : Trans of Color Art in Digital Media* (Duke UP 2022) was the co-winner of the Gloria Anzald\u00faa Book Prize in 2022 from the National Women\u2019s Studies Association \u201cfor groundbreaking monographs in women\u2019s studies that makes significant multicultural feminist contributions to women of color\/transnational scholarship\u201d. c\u00e1rdenas was a winner of the 2022 Anonymous Was a Woman artist award. She is currently working on her next academic monograph* After Man: Trans Ecologies and Climate Justice*, as well as *The Probability Engine*, a multi-disciplinary artwork imagining futures of climate justice. She is a first generation Colombian American.\n\nWe strive to make our events accessible to all participants. This will be a virtual event held in an online meeting space.
