Data Feminism: MIDAS Annual Symposium Keynote (November 10, 2020 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/78540 78540-20060200@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 10, 2020 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Today, data science is a form of power. It has been used to expose injustice, improve health outcomes, and topple governments. But it has also been used to discriminate, police, and surveil. This potential for good, on the one hand, and harm, on the other, makes it essential to ask: Data science by whom? Data science for whom? Data science with whose interests in mind? Authors of Data Feminism, Catherine D’Ignazio and Lauren Klein, address how feminist thinking can be operationalized in order to imagine more ethical and equitable data practices in their keynote speech at the MIDAS Annual Symposium on November 10 at 9:00 AM. Please register to attend this virtual event.

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
The Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) invites submission of 1) abstracts for presentations and 2) proposals for workshops, for the 2020 U-M Data Science Symposium.

As the focal point of data science at U-M, MIDAS facilitates the work of the broad U-M data science community, advances cross-cutting data science methodologies and applications, promotes the use of data science to benefit society, builds data science training pipelines, and develops partnerships with industry, academia and community. The annual symposium showcases the breadth and depth of U-M data science, shares research ideas that will lead to the next breakthroughs, and builds collaboration.

Presentations at the symposium should cover one or more of the following areas of data science:

Theoretical foundations
Methodology and tools
Real-world application in any domain
The ethics and societal impact of data science
Emerging areas of data science
WE INVITE SUBMISSIONS FOR THE FOLLOWING:
1. Proposals for mini-workshops. New this year, the symposium will include 3-5 mini-workshops on the afternoon of Nov. 10 as parallel sessions. Each workshop will be two hours long and for 50-100 attendees. They can be research discussion sessions, tutorials or hack sessions. Proposals should include the theme, format, organizer and potential presenters, as well as how the proposed mini-workshop brings out the strengths across multiple U-M research units and its benefit to U-M data science research and/or to the larger community. If your theme is selected, the symposium program committee will discuss with you further to help finalize the plan, and MIDAS will provide logistics support.

Some examples of possible themes: Mobilizing data science for crisis response; Data preparation for multi-party computing; Introduction of data science to attendees from non-profit organizations; Data science for wearables/mobile health.

If you would like to discuss your mini-workshop idea with the symposium committee before submission, please email Jing Liu, MIDAS Managing Director (ljing@umich.edu),

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center on Finance, Law, and Policy

The University of Michigan's Center on Finance, Law & Policy and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco are co-hosting the second “Central Bank of the Future” Conference on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, November 16 – 18, 2020. This event will be virtual, open to the public, and free to attend.

This event will build on the conference hosted last year by continuing to explore how central banks are evolving and their potential to foster greater financial and economic inclusion in the United States and worldwide. This year’s conference will examine how the three functions of a modern central bank could evolve to create a more inclusive financial system. Areas of exploration may include:

• How the functions of the modern central bank could shift to more
actively promote inclusion and address poverty, rather than
responding to exclusion,
• The potential for central banks to operate as new kinds of utilities
or direct service providers,
• The value and challenge of extending the regulatory perimeter to
supervise new products, services, and networks, and
• The role of technology and innovation within central banks to help
support both traditional and expanded functions.

Global Health Supply Chain VIRTUAL Summit (November 17, 2020 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79395 79395-20296427@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 17, 2020 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Ross

In its 13th year, this international summit will focus on Global Health Supply Chain Resiliency – Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. COVID-19 has brought to light the fragility of global supply chains and challenges health systems have faced to address the new health needs arising from COVID-19 while continuing to address traditional health care needs. Clearly, resiliency of supply chains and health systems is essential. Exploring the elements of resilient health supply chains will be the focus of GHSCS 2020. Resiliency can be achieved through supply chain design, appropriate use of technology, leveraging partnerships and establishing proper governance systems but all these depend on a deep understanding of the challenges faced by the workforce who will be called upon to execute on the resilience strategy and fill in the inevitable gaps.

GHSCS 2020 will explore these issues through a combination of keynotes & plenary speakers, panel discussions, and contributed talks. Like in the past, the conference has assembled a collection of experts in and from the field – academics, country planners, NGOs, logistics practitioners, industry and donor representatives to explore these topics. The committee is particularly interested in capturing the voices from the field to learn and share experiences related to managing supply chains for and during COVID-19.

43 countries represented by registered attendees

In its 13th year, this international summit will focus on Global Health Supply Chain Resiliency – Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. COVID-19 has brought to light the fragility of global supply chains and challenges health systems have faced to address the new health needs arising from COVID-19 while continuing to address traditional health care needs. Clearly, resiliency of supply chains and health systems is essential. Exploring the elements of resilient health supply chains will be the focus of GHSCS 2020. Resiliency can be achieved through supply chain design, appropriate use of technology, leveraging partnerships and establishing proper governance systems but all these depend on a deep understanding of the challenges faced by the workforce who will be called upon to execute on the resilience strategy and fill in the inevitable gaps.

GHSCS 2020 will explore these issues through a combination of keynotes & plenary speakers, panel discussions, and contributed talks. Like in the past, the conference has assembled a collection of experts in and from the field – academics, country planners, NGOs, logistics practitioners, industry and donor representatives to explore these topics. The committee is particularly interested in capturing the voices from the field to learn and share experiences related to managing supply chains for and during COVID-19.

43 countries represented by registered attendees

Writers' Community is a student-led creative writing group based on workshopping. Each week, members are encouraged to bring their words to be presented to the group for reactions and critique. We are a very laid-back group that aspires to provide constructive criticism and support as we all navigate the sometimes-treacherous terrain of characters, words, and plot twists. Creative writing of any kind is welcomed with open arms. Writing exercises, prompts, and games are frequently featured, adding sparkle and pizzaz to our already scintillating meetings.

EIHS Symposium: Thinking with The Country and the City: Revisiting the Raymond Williams Classic (January 29, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79657 79657-20438375@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 29, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Originally published in 1973, Raymond Williams's The Country and the City has generated concepts that have influenced generations of cultural critics. His magisterial survey of the construction of archetypical images of the country and the city in English literature in the context of the shift from agrarian capitalism to the industrial metropolis has justly acquired canonical status. The book’s analysis of how these images obscured the actual historical and social relations that shaped them continues to remain relevant today. Join our panelists as they discuss how the book continues to inform their own work. They explore the city/country opposition and the political interests it serves in contexts quite different from Williams’s original English focus.



Panelists:
Kathryn Babayan
Professor, History, Middle East Studies, University of Michigan

Stephen A. Berrey
Associate Professor, American Culture, History, University of Michigan

Christian de Pee
Associate Professor, History, University of Michigan

Mrinalini Sinha (chair)
Alice Freeman Palmer Professor of History, University of Michigan

Free and open to the public. This is a remote event and will take place online via Zoom.

This event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: U-M Office of Research

All sports depend, to some extent, on equipment, and advances in equipment have the potential to shift an athlete's performances independent of their training and skill. This technological tension has recently shaken the sport of running in the form of shoe advances, but many other sports have experienced and managed these same strains, including swimming, cycling, tennis, speed skating, and many more. This seminar will explore how technological developments within a sport, and the associated performance advantages they afford, impact that sport sociologically. This panel will bring perspectives related to product availability and athlete sponsorship ties, cultural perception and understanding of performance, and developmental implications across myriad levels of sport (e.g., youth, Olympic, masters). This discussion will aim to inform our understanding of what is to be gained, what might be lost, and what can be managed as sport evolves with technological developments.

Presented by the World Food Programme in partnership with the Global Health Supply Chain Summit group.

DESCRIPTION: As a result of COVID-19, health supply chains, including cold chain, are under incredible strain due to global, regional and local transport disruptions. Flight cancellations and trade restrictions by countries, as well as closing borders, have severely constrained access to essential medicines, including vaccines. Beginning 2020, the world will experience the largest mass vaccination campaign in its history with forecasted demand of up to 15 billion (at two doses per person) vaccinations by 2023. Delivering multiple new and novel vaccine candidates of varying profiles will further strain limited cold chain capacities in low-income countries. In these settings, vaccination campaigns will be unlike that of routine childhood or flu vaccinations; vaccines will have to be secured, stored and transported to areas where cold chain challenges persist. It is anticipated that cold chain logistics and capacity needs will demand an increase significantly greater than the current level of investment. A global effort to establish and sustain health supply chains to deliver a COVID-19 vaccine, auxiliary commodities and, new cold chain equipment when it becomes available, whilst maintaining program continuity is needed. This urgent requirement will prompt a re-think of how development partners respond to the current cold chain transportation eco-system for the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines. This panel discussion will address plans and programs to build robust in-country logistics / distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. We feature thought leaders from global agencies as well as learn from in-country experts.

1. Dr. Ahmed Ogwell Ouma, Deputy Director, Africa CDC
2. Shamit Shah, Group Managing Director - Freight in Time

Toxic Equilibrium: Structural Racism and Population Health Inequities (February 24, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/81748 81748-20949404@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 10:00am

10:00am – 6:30pm
Eastern Time

The American social structure is composed of a resilient, symbiotic network of the formal and informal institutions that operate to maintain an equilibrium toward White privilege. Across time and place, changes in one institution can reverberate through other institutions, and importantly, when we attempt to intervene toward equity in one institution, other institutions can move to restore this toxic equilibrium. Cultural racism, which encompasses the socially accepted ideologies, values, and behavioral norms determined by the dominant power group, sets this equilibrium. Particularly insidious as it operates on the level of our shared social subconscious, the processes that comprise cultural racism are invisible to many because they are our “givens”, our assumptions, our defaults – but the result shapes our answers to the question: Whose life counts?

For our 6th annual University of Michigan RacismLab Symposium on the Study of Racism, we pay tribute to the legacy of Dr. James Jackson, whose mentorship guided our 1st annual symposium in 2015 and resulted in our guest edited Social Science and Medicine special issue on cultural and structural racism. In the introduction to this special issue, we called for all scholarship on race and health to be grounded in interdisciplinary frameworks of cultural and structural racism and critical race theory.

Our annual symposium continues to be sponsored by the University of Michigan Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research. For our virtual meeting in 2021, we partner with the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science (IAPHS) to move our discussions to a national stage. As we move to a national, interdisciplinary discussion, we are honored that a pioneer in the study of structural racism, Dr. Eduardo Bonilla Silva will serve as the keynote speaker this year.

As both consumers and purveyors of information, how we interact with data is ever evolving. Now, more than ever, data for good represents a diverse and interdisciplinary effort to engage, educate, and empower the world around us. Statistics in the Community (STATCOM), the Center for Education Design, Evaluation, and Research (CEDER), and the Community Technical Assistance Collaborative (CTAC) invite you to attend the 4th annual Data for Public Good Symposium hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data Science. The symposium will launch virtually on Thursday, February 25, 2021 and will showcase the many research efforts and university/community partnerships that focus on improving humanity by using data for the public good.

Data for Good in Changing Times

This year’s symposium will focus on how data can help us best predict, catalyze, or respond to large-scale societal and environmental change. As we currently navigate these changes in several key areas, this symposium offers an opportunity to learn about the data-driven work that is being done to address the following challenges and develop skills to implement your own data-driven work in these spaces:

Public health and medicine
Social justice and equity
Politics and civic engagement
K-12 and higher education
Climate change and sustainability

As both consumers and purveyors of information, how we interact with data is ever evolving. Now, more than ever, data for good represents a diverse and interdisciplinary effort to engage, educate, and empower the world around us. Statistics in the Community (STATCOM), the Center for Education Design, Evaluation, and Research (CEDER), and the Community Technical Assistance Collaborative (CTAC) invite you to attend the 4th annual Data for Public Good Symposium hosted by the Michigan Institute for Data Science. The symposium will launch virtually on Thursday, February 25, 2021 and will showcase the many research efforts and university/community partnerships that focus on improving humanity by using data for the public good.

Data for Good in Changing Times

This year’s symposium will focus on how data can help us best predict, catalyze, or respond to large-scale societal and environmental change. As we currently navigate these changes in several key areas, this symposium offers an opportunity to learn about the data-driven work that is being done to address the following challenges and develop skills to implement your own data-driven work in these spaces:

Public health and medicine
Social justice and equity
Politics and civic engagement
K-12 and higher education
Climate change and sustainability

International Institute Conference on Arts of Devotion (March 4, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/81757 81757-20951378@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 4, 2021 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: International Institute

Free and open to the public; register at http://myumi.ch/wleGk

The phrase “Arts of Devotion” typically brings to mind traditional ritual objects used as part of religious practices, or evokes items like costumes, masks, dances, songs, poetry, and literature. Arts of Devotion can tend to be conflated with only those items that are understood as “traditional,” rather than those that emerge from the contemporary moment, as if modern and contemporary art can only be associated with the purely secular world.

Yet there are numerous contemporary artists who have incorporated elements of the devotional into their works, and devotional arts have changed with the advent of modern technologies and changing socio-political contexts. We might also consider Arts of Devotion as potentially extending beyond the usual association with the religious to other “devotional” relationships, such as those for political or revolutionary leaders, or individuals’ loved ones.

This year’s conference explores both contemporary and traditional Arts of Devotion by bringing together scholars from across disciplines and temporal and regional contexts, to engage with one another and a broader audience of faculty, students, and the general public.

Free and open to the public.
This conference is funded in part by five (5) Title VI National Resource Center grants from the U.S. Department of Education

Co-sponsors: African Studies Center, Center for Armenian Studies, Center for Japanese Studies, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies, Kenneth G. Lieberthal and Richard H. Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Nam Center for Korean Studies, Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Center for South Asian Studies, Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Program in International and Comparative Studies, History of Art, University of Michigan Museum of Art

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Public Health Students of African Descent

Registration is now open for the Public Health Students of African Descent's Annual Minority Health Equity Conference.

Title: Disrupt to Reconstruct: Mass Incarceration to Prison Abolition

Keynote: Our keynote address will be delivered by Ericka Huggins, a human rights activist, educator, former political prisoner & leader in the Black Panther Party.

Date/Time:

Friday, March 12, 2021 [1:00PM-5:00PM EST]
Saturday, March 13, 2021 [11:00AM- 1:45PM EST]

Join the Public Health Students of African Descent for the 34th annual Minority Health Equity Conference. While the prison abolition movement is not new, police violence during the summer of 2020 and the treatment of incarcerated people throughout the COVID-19 pandemic have brought abolitionist demands to the forefront of political thought and popular culture.

The theme for this year’s conference is Disrupt to Reconstruct: Mass Incarceration to Prison Abolition. Attendees will learn why prison abolition is necessary for achieving health equity, how incarceration exacerbates disability, and how to bring abolitionist practice to your public health work.

This conference is offered by the Public Health Students of African Descent (PHSAD) at the University of Michigan School of Public Health with support from the Region V Public Health Training Center and the Office for Student Engagement and Practice.

Organized By: Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center

The University of Michigan M-LEEaD Center is co-sponsoring an event to mark the 5-year anniversary of the bipartisan legislation called the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act. This reform law was designed to modernize U.S. industrial chemical policy to promote health, but has it lived up to its promise?

Public understanding is limited regarding how exposures to toxic chemicals affect health and how they might be regulated. Unlike pharmaceuticals, industrial and commercial chemicals are rarely tested for safety before they reach the U.S. market. The 1976 TSCA has been widely acknowledged to be a weak and ineffective law, and widespread exposures and harms continue. In the U.S., everyone is exposed to industrial and toxic chemicals, dozens and probably hundreds – well before birth. The amount of chemicals manufactured and imported continues to grow – it is trillions of pounds – and these chemicals remain largely unregulated. At the same time, we have seen an increase in chronic diseases, such as diabetes, autism, and infertility. Not everyone is equally at risk, and a higher burden of disease falls on low wealth communities and communities of color. These health disparities in exposures and health effects are illustrated and exacerbated by COVID.

The amended TSCA gave the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency new requirements and authorities. The public health impact points to the need for the U.S. EPA to fully use its new powers to evaluate all risks from hazardous chemicals and set policies which protect health and are accountable to high-risk communities. Preventive actions are urgently needed.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: NeuroNetwork for Emerging Therapies

"You are what you eat" is a common phrase that researchers and scientists are proving remarkably true. Unhealthy diets not only lead to obesity, but that obesity can even lead to cognitive decline, or a decreased ability to think.

The third installment of the NeuroNetwork for Emerging Therapies Mini Symposium Series will explore what unhealthy foods do to the nervous system, a historical look at the downhill trend of eating habits, and how everyone can find an optimal nutritional balance. These presentations will be followed by a question and answer session.

“Nutrition & Brain Health” is made possible by the generous support of Robert and Katherine Jacobs, who believe that informing people about healthy food options is critically important to the health of their community.

Eva Feldman, MD, PhD, Director of the NeuroNetwork for Emerging Therapies, will moderate the 30-minute mini symposium and discuss diet and brain health. Debra Reid, PhD, MA, Curator of Agriculture and the Environment at The Henry Ford, will discuss the history of the American diet and how urban residents obtained fresh fruits and vegetables from urban markets, such as the Central Farmers Market that is under reconstruction at Greenfield Village. Michigan Medicine Lead Dietitian Danielle Karsies, MS, RDN, will provide direction for how people can apply the information from Drs. Feldman and Reid to help them make better food choices.

Symposium: Where Is Social Reproduction Theory Now? (March 19, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79658 79658-20438377@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 19, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

There has been an explosion in recent years of scholarship on social reproduction theory (SRT), which builds on a long tradition of critique within Marxist feminist scholarship that has focused on the labor required to produce workers and society as a whole. While it arose out of the need to explain the continued oppression of women under capitalism, the SRT framework has been extended to understanding racism and other sources of division between workers. SRT offers a perspective on the link between the oppressive logics of “race,” sexuality, ability, gender, and more, with the development and actualization of labor powers. In short, a renewed SRT provides a historical materialist theory of multiple oppressions within capitalist society. This body of scholarship, varied in its political and theoretical orientations, takes as its subject precisely the continuous and daily reproduction of capitalism as a system. Our round table discussion consists of a conversation with Tithi Bhattacharya, one of the foremost proponents of social reproduction theory, on some of the recent developments in SRT and their relevance in our current conjuncture.

Registrants will receive a link to a pre-circulated paper by Professor Bhattacharya.

Securing Demand for COVID19 Vaccinations in LMICs (March 24, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/82895 82895-21211379@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 24, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Ross

Presented in partnership by Chemonics International and the Global Health Supply Chain Summit group, the goal of this webinar is to help the global community understand COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and adequately address community and health systems-level obstacles. 

This 1.5-hour webinar hosted by Chemonics International and GHSC Summit will bring together practitioners, community leaders, and other critical stakeholders to share insights regarding community objections to COVID-19 vaccinations and key considerations for health systems to ensure vaccine uptake.

As different countries start the process of vaccinating their populations with the various COVID-19 vaccines, they have struggled with critical issues—not the least important of which is how to ensure enough demand for vaccination. To achieve herd (community) immunity, 70–85% of the population must be vaccinated. The challenge of ensuring high demand for vaccination is a difficult and complicated challenge: Some refuse to be vaccinated because they do not trust the government and health organizations, some refuse for religious reasons, and others refuse because they simply do not believe that vaccines can provide the desired protections. Service-related issues like waiting times at vaccination facilities, distance from home to the facilities, the cost of vaccination, and side effects all affect the population’s willingness to be vaccinated.

Each community has its own reasons for vaccine hesitancy. It is crucial for government and health organizations to understand and identify the different and complex causes of vaccine hesitancy and design, as rapidly as possible, efforts to minimize hesitancy and its consequences. Service-related issues must also be considered. The location of vaccination facilities is crucial. These facilities must have the right equipment, they should not be too far from the relevant population, and they must employ the right personnel to vaccinate the population quickly with minimal waiting time. In addition, countries must have robust and secure information systems that maintain information about the time of vaccination, the type of vaccine, and other important details. This is essential for keeping track of the services that have been provided and the services yet to be provided and reminding people of the importance, timing, and location of the next actions they must take.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

City of Champions: Detroit, Sports, and a History of Triumph and Defeat (The New Press, 2020), by Silke-Maria Weineck and Stefan Szymanski, explores the history of Detroit through the stories of its most gifted athletes, linking iconic events in the history of Motown sports to the city’s shifting fortunes. Selected as a 2020 Michigan Notable Book by the Library of Michigan, City of Champions takes readers through Detroit’s stadiums, gyms, fields, and streets, tracing its proud and troubling history alongside its athletic triumphs and defeats. Ketra Armstrong will moderate a conversation with the authors, who will read vignettes from the book.

Ketra Armstrong is a professor of sport management in the University of Michigan School of Kinesiology, and a University Diversity & Social Transformation Professor. She is also the director of the Center for Race and Ethnicity in Sport.

Stefan Symanski is Stephen J. Galetti Collegiate Professor of Sport Management in the University of Michigan School of Kinesiology. He is an economist who studies sports, and was co-author of the bestseller Soccernomics. He is convinced that economics cannot be understood without also studying history.

Silke Weineck is a professor of German and comparative literature. She is interested in the long history of metaphors and narrative figures. After writing on mad poets, fatherhood, and war, she has discovered a love not so much for sport itself but for the stories it tells.

Free and open to the public.

This event is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

WEBINAR: From Rhetoric to Reality - Putting Patients at the Heart of Pharmaceutical Services & Systems (April 29, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/83639 83639-21446272@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 29, 2021 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Ross

Access to essential medicines remains a critical challenge for patients in many parts of the world. Strengthening pharmaceutical supply chains, while vitally important, must be complemented by efforts to strengthen related pharmaceutical services and systems in ways that put patient needs first.

When pharmaceutical systems and services – from policies and regulations to distribution and dispensing practices – are centered around and responsive to patient needs, the system can work better to achieve improved health outcomes and address critical challenges such as antimicrobial resistance. Ultimately, patient-centered approaches help build trust in health systems, encourage appropriate use of medicines, and make pharmaceutical services more responsive and effective.

Convened by the Global Health Supply Chain Summit group, this webinar will bring together private- and public-sector experts across the pharmaceutical supply chain to explore the latest in advancing patient-centered pharmaceutical services in low- and middle-income countries and opportunities to take the discussion from rhetoric to reality.

Introduction by: Ravi Anupindi, Professor of Technology & Operations, Ross School of Business
Moderated by: Lloyd Matowe, Chair, People that Deliver; Director, Pharmaceutical Systems Africa

The COVID-19 pandemic has produced massive amounts of information that require an accurate analysis to predict outcomes and design solutions rapidly. It also has required experts from many different backgrounds to rally around in the quest for rapid responses in the race to save lives.

Many of the most prominent of these researchers are from Michigan, and a significant number of them are computational scientists who addressed questions such as: What measures should be taken to minimize contagion? Is it safe to ride a bus? How are supply and demand chains being affected?

This virtual symposium will bring together researchers from the State of Michigan to share their past and future insights into the pandemic.

This is a free Zoom event, open to the general public. Please register to attend: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_47ZZyf_ZTFqwef3kd8icsg

This virtual symposium will bring together researchers from the State of Michigan to share their past and future insights into the pandemic.

“Researchers from the University of Michigan and around the state have used their expertise to inform our society’s pandemic response at the global, national, state and local levels. A critical aspect of this work has been the use of mathematical, computational and statistical models to guide decision-making and help us decide how to best confront this terrible virus. This symposium will allow us to learn about the amazing work that has been done to date to develop and apply computational models for COVID-19 response. “

How has this unprecedented time of disruption affected leaders and employees? How are they engaging in their work, and with each other? Although the current climate has posed many challenges, it also leaves room to reengage and reimagine organizational strategies. Companies have the opportunity to adopt creative and more agile work methods; renew discussions surrounding DEI; implement a stronger commitment to racial justice; and improve employee engagement. Leaders have the potential to create supportive structures, practices, and cultures that foster connection, while employees have the potential to self-discover and drive a mindful and meaningful connection to their work. All can act in harmony to connect with an organization’s purpose-driven mission.

Join us for the virtual Michigan Ross Positive Business Conference, May 13-14, 2021, where we’ll share new practices, tools, and real-world examples for how to build stronger, more connected teams and companies. Leading faculty and industry experts from Cisco, IDEO, Masco, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and more, will explore this year’s theme of “Meaningful Engagement in a Fragmented Time: Connecting with Self, Others, and Society.”

*State Expansion in Middle Horizon Peru: Re-Examining Wari Impact on the Local Communities of the Cusco Region*, by Veronique Belisle

In the Andes, the Middle Horizon (600-1000 CE) has traditionally been interpreted as a period during which a strong Wari imperial state conquered several provinces and tightly controlled local populations. In the Cusco region of southern Peru, research conducted at large Wari installations has long guided reconstructions of Wari power, leading scholars to argue that Wari presence resulted in the loss of local autonomy and the reorganization of economic activities. In this talk, I use regional surveys and excavation data from the local center of Ak’awillay to test this model and evaluate Wari military, economic, and religious impact in Cusco. Results do not support the hypothesis of a military conquest of the region and suggest strong continuity in agricultural production, exchange networks, and ritual activities. I conclude that Wari impact in Cusco was not as strong as originally proposed and that similar to other early states worldwide, Wari influence did not penetrate very deeply into local life.

*Colonial Legends and the Anthropological Reconstruction of Inca Origins*, by R. Alan Covey

Spaniards collected myths of Inca origins as part of political and religious discourse on colonization. Certain versions of the story eventually became part of Peruvian national history, a legend that John Rowe challenged in the 1940s with his own historical paradigm. Rowe's historicist approach influenced the work of lo andino scholarship in archaeology and ethnohistory as research proliferated from the late 1960s onward. In recent decades, a new body of archaeological data has demonstrated the need for a new anthropological paradigm for Inca origins. The completion of horizontal excavations and regional surveys, and the introduction of new analytical techniques (radiocarbon dates, bioarchaeology, geochemical analysis) have generated multiple lines of evidence for independently reconstructing important aspects of Inca state formation and early territorial expansion. Recent and emerging research encourages new approaches to the ethnohistoric record and better engagement with data from Inca provincial regions. This talk will review the intellectual history of the discourse on Inca origins, summarize current evidence, and identify areas for future interpretation, including issues that are difficult to resolve with archaeological evidence.

Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

This is a hybrid event. Link here for in-person registration (limited): https://myumi.ch/yKo1N

Description: We think it fitting to inaugurate our year-long theme, "Recovery," with a roundtable discussion on the language of recovery in health and medicine. It is in this context that recovery, both physical and mental, has been the focus of some of the oldest and most sustained attention and, increasingly now, critique. While recovery has still proven notoriously difficult to define, measure, and implement, with its champions and critics alike highlighting the lack of consensus on what exactly constitutes recovery, the term has at least since the 1990s come to dominate certain health sectors. This dominance is most notable in mental health policy. Within the critical medical humanities, it has become clear that the discourse of recovery is entangled in complex relations of power without being entirely fixed by them. Can recovery, despite its discontents, still have radical political potential? Is recovery itself in need of being recovered? What are the stakes in this contested sector of the body politic? Our panelists, as they explore the stakes of “recovery” from within their respective fields, will help us launch our critical engagement with recovery both as rhetoric and practice.

Panelists:
• Henry M. Cowles (Associate Professor, History, University of Michigan)
• Yi-Li Wu (Associate Professor; History, Women's and Gender Studies; University of Michigan)
• M. Remi Yergeau (Associate Professor; English Language and Literature, University of Michigan)
• Rachel Rafael Neis (moderator; Jean and Samuel Frankel Associate Professor; History, Judaic Studies; University of Michigan)

This event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Join CEW+ for its annual fall symposium themed Accessing & Navigating Systems. This event is free and open to all activists, advocates, and allies.

This year’s symposium will feature:

- opening remarks by Christina R. Cutlip, PhD, Senior Managing Director, Head of Client Engagement and National Advocacy at TIAA. She is the head of the Client Engagement & National Advocacy team, which is responsible for expanding relationships with industry and government associations, while also focusing on client engagement.
- the Mullin Welch Lecture given by C. Nicole Mason, PhD, who currently serves as the president and chief executive officer of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR), a leading voice on pay equity, economic policies, and research impacting women. Mason is a political scientist and intersectional scholar with a focus on economic security, racial equity, and women’s leadership. Mason will share her pathway into advocacy work and how she approaches policy and social change with consideration for the intersectional impact of race, class, and gender. Registrants will receive a PDF copy of Mason’s publication Leading at the Intersections: An Introduction to the Intersectional Approach Model for Policy & Social Change. The keynote will be facilitated by Catherine Hadley, a senior majoring in Political Science and U-M’s 28th Truman Scholar.
- the awarding of the 2021 Carol Hollenshead Inspire Award for Excellence in Promoting Equity and Social Change. Awardees are faculty, staff, and students (either an individual or a group) whose sustained efforts have resulted in greater equity with regard to gender, race, class, age, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Awardees will participate in a panel discussion regarding amplifying narratives and engaging communities to create systemic change.
- a capstone presentation by outgoing CEW+ Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist Dessa Cosma, MA, founder of Detroit Disability Power. Cosma will discuss her ongoing work to advocate for voting rights, emphasizing the importance of building the political power of the disability community. Cosma says, “I wish that more people understood that disabled people are a constituency of voters.” Although their needs and political affiliations are diverse, Cosma states, disabled people share common challenges that can be addressed through the political process.
- the announcement of the 2022 CEW+ Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist, Theresa Anderson, MPP, PhD

Translation for the Community: Translating Begins (October 1, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87139 87139-21639083@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 1, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

We invite community members of all ages and languages to participate in the annual Translate-a-Thon at the University of Michigan on October 1-2, 2021.

A Translate-a-Thon is a short, intense, community-driven translation marathon, where volunteers interested in translation come together to translate materials for the benefit of our local, national, and international community.

Coordinated by the Language Resource Center and co-sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature, our Translate-a-thon also promotes a sense of community among translators. We welcome current students and alums, faculty and staff, teachers and students from local high schools, prospective transfer students, professional translators and other interested parties.

This year we are celebrating ten years of the Translate-a-Thon, with a special theme on translation and migration. We kick off the weekend at 3pm on October 1 with a Virtual Conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, author of The Undocumented Americans. We will highlight translation projects for Freedom House Detroit, to support their mission of outreach to asylum seekers.

A range of other community translation projects will also be available to work on over the weekend, remotely or in person. Check out our Translation Gallery with more information for volunteers to translate work on projects in many languages!

We also welcome colleagues from other colleges and universities who would like to observe our activities in order to learn about organizing similar events at their own institutions. To follow up, we will host a workshop on “How to Run a Translate-a-Thon” (for further details contact complit.info@umich.edu).
