DSI & DISCO Network Book Talk | Discriminating Data: Wendy Chun in Conversation with Lisa Nakamura (December 6, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89099 89099-21660478@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 6, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

In Discriminating Data, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun reveals how polarization is a goal—not an error—within big data and machine learning. These methods, she argues, encode segregation, eugenics, and identity politics through their default assumptions and conditions. Correlation, which grounds big data's predictive potential, stems from twentieth-century eugenic attempts to “breed” a better future. Recommender systems foster angry clusters of sameness through homophily. Users are “trained” to become authentically predictable via a politics and technology of recognition. Machine learning and data analytics thus seek to disrupt the future by making disruption impossible.

Wendy Hui Kyong Chun is Simon Fraser University’s Canada 150 Research Chair in New Media and leads the Digital Democracies Institute. She is the author of several works including Control and Freedom: Power and Paranoia in the Age of Fiber Optics (MIT, 2006), Programmed Visions: Software and Memory (MIT, 2011), Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media (MIT, 2016), Discriminating Data (MIT, 2021), and the co-author of Pattern Discrimination (University of Minnesota & Meson Press, 2019). She has been Professor and Chair of the Department of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University, where she worked for almost two decades. She has also been a Visiting Scholar at the Annenberg School at the University of Pennsylvania, Member of the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton), and she has held fellowships from: the Guggenheim, ACLS, American Academy of Berlin, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard.

Lisa Nakamura is the Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor of American Culture and Digital Studies at the University of Michigan. She is the author of several books on race, gender, and the Internet. She is the founding Director of the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan and the Lead P.I. for the DISCO (Digital Inquiry, Speculation, Collaboration and Optimism) Network (disconetwork.org).

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | A Vineyard Garden in the Afterlife: The Shi Jun/Wirkak Tomb (580 CE) and Viticulture on the Silk Road (December 7, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84936 84936-21625310@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 7, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Please register in advance for this Zoom webinar here: https://myumi.ch/Gk4pp

This talk discusses visual representations of vineyard gardens in 6th-century China. By focusing on the sarcophagus of Shi Jun or Wirkak (494-579 CE), a Sogdian immigrant from Central Asia, it explores a range of issues related to viticulture and wine making on the Silk Road, including the spread and transformation of Dionysian motifs, the entanglement between Buddhism and wine culture, and above all, the association of vineyard gardens with paradise.

Jin Xu is an assistant professor of Art History and Asian Studies at Vassar College. He received his PhD in art history at the University of Chicago. His research has been focusing on religious and cultural exchanges on the Silk Road as reflected in Chinese art during the sixth and seventh centuries AD. His articles appear in journals such as the Burlington Magazine, the Journal of Asian Studies, and the Sino-Platonic Papers. Currently he is writing a book manuscript titled “Beyond Boundaries: Sogdian Sarcophagi and the Art of an Immigrant Community in Early Medieval China.”

Professor of Medicine and Director of the Center for Clinical Informatics and Improvement Research (CLIIR)
University of California San Francisco

Interoperability is considered a key capability of a high-performing healthcare system and has been a top policy priority for more than a decade. Implementing interoperability is, however, a complex undertaking – requiring stakeholder coordination that tackles incentives, governance, technology, standards, and more. In this talk, Dr. Adler-Milstein will describe current approaches to interoperability and where we stand with respect to current levels of national adoption. She will then discuss the implications for Learning Health System efforts at different levels of scale.

Rackham Minority Serving Institutions Initiative Coffee Chat Series: Using Strategic Partnerships to Scale Change (December 8, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89504 89504-21663365@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 8, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Traditional partnerships are often happenstance in nature—forming when collaborators are required for grant funding and ending quickly when funding ends. Forming strategic partnerships instead builds on shared goals, mission alignment, and nurturing of relationships that lead to sustainability. This session will review the steps to help build sustainable partnerships, and focus in particular on the role of mid-level leaders. Tapping into the social capital of champions on campus provides increased opportunities to connect with others and build thriving partnerships.
Speaker: Pamela Eddy is a professor of higher education in Educational Policy, Planning, and Leadership at William & Mary. Her research interests include community college leadership and development, organizational change and educational partnerships, gender roles in higher education, and faculty development.
Professor Eddy serves as a consultant for campuses, system offices, and on funded grants regarding strategies to support community college student success and to support leadership development. Eddy has authored six books and edited six others. Her most recent book, with Betty Kirby, is titled Leading for Tomorrow: A Primer for Succeeding in Higher Education Leadership (2020). Eddy is the editor-in-chief for New Directions for Community Colleges, and serves on the editorial boards for Community College Journal of Research and Practice, Community College Enterprise, and Innovative Higher Education. She received the 2006 emerging scholar award and the 2013 senior scholar award from the Council for the Study of Community Colleges. In 2021, Professor Eddy was recognized with a 2021 Outstanding Faculty Award from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. Additionally, Eddy received the 2011 Plumeri Award for Faculty Excellence at William & Mary. She was a Fulbright Scholar in Dublin, Ireland in 2009 and continues her research on partnerships there.
Eddy received her Ph.D. from Michigan State University, her M.S. from Cornell University, and her B.S. in economics from Allegheny College.
This series is primarily intended for faculty and staff that have existing relationships with MSIs, or for those who do not but are interested in forming relationships, as well as graduate students who have interest in this topic.

Queer Jews and Muslims: A Roundtable on Race, Religion, Gender and Sexuality (December 9, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88886 88886-21658822@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 9, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location

Robert Phillips, Ball State University
Edwige Crucifix, Bryn Mawr College
Shanon Shah, King's College London
With Adi Saleem Bharat, University of Michigan

This roundtable brings together scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds in the humanities and social sciences to reflect on historical and contemporary representations and experiences of queer Jews and Muslims in a wide range of geographies. By placing the question of gender and sexuality at the heart—and not merely as a subsection—of (ethno-)religious identities and spiritualties, the speakers queer normative understandings of Jewishness/Judaism and Muslimness/Islam in order to broaden the horizon of Jewish and Muslim coexistence and, perhaps more importantly, co-resistance.

Katrina Daly Thompson (she/they) is Professor of African Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she is also the Director of the Program in African Languages, and a core faculty member in Second Language Acquisition. She holds additional affiliations in Anthropology, Gender & Women’s Studies, Religious Studies, Folklore, and the Middle East Studies Program. Her research uses critical ethnography and critical discourse analysis to examine African and Muslim discourse, with specific projects in Zimbabwe, Tanzania, North America, and online. Her third monograph, Misfits, Rebels, and Queers: An Ethnography of Muslims on the Margins, is under contract with NYU Press.

Robert Phillips is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Associate Director of the Jewish Studies Program at Ball State University. He lectures on ethnographic methods and the anthropology of religion and technology with much of his empirical research conducted in India and Singapore. Most recently, Phillips has published Virtual Activism: Sexuality, the Internet, and a Social Movement in Singapore (University of Toronto Press, 2020). Currently, Phillips is looking at how queer and Jewish individuals are embracing alternative models in the healing of individual and collective trauma.

Dr. Edwige Crucifix is a scholar of Modern and Contemporary Francophone literature, specializing in gender studies and postcolonial theory. Her current book project explores mechanisms of identity construction in colonial society in the works of French and North African women. Her research and teaching stems from an interdisciplinary interest in modes of cultural resistance, explored in previous publications dedicated to modernist aesthetics, nineteenth-century bourgeois taste, and inter-war Jewish identity.

Dr. Shanon Shah conducts research on minority religions and alternative spiritualities at the Information Network Focus on Religious Movements (Inform), based at King's College London, and is Tutor in Interfaith Relations at the University of London's Divinity programme. He is also the Director of Faith for the Climate, a faith-inspired network of climate justice activists, and an editor at Critical Muslim, the flagship quarterly publication of the Muslim Institute (a London-based educational fellowship).

Adi Saleem Bharat is an LSA Collegiate Fellow and, from Fall 2022, an assistant professor in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan. He is also an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Manchester's Center for Jewish Studies. His research examines the intersection of race, religion, gender, and sexuality in contemporary France, with a focus on Jews and Muslims. He is currently working on a manuscript tentatively titled Beyond Jewish-Muslim Relations, which examines and challenges the construction of a polarized, oppositional category of "Jewish-Muslim relations" in media and political discourse in France.

Anti-Racism Is Never Not Intersectional (December 9, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88998 88998-21659587@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 9, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Panelists:
-Elizabeth Cole, Faculty Associate Director, National Center for Institutional Diversity; Professor of Women's and Gender Studies, Psychology, and Afroamerican and African Studies
-Elizabeth González, Education & Training Program Manager, Spectrum Center
-SaraEllen Strongman, Assistant Professor, Afroamerican and African Studies
-Ruby C. Tapia, Chair, Department of Women's and Gender Studies; Associate Professor, English Language & Literature and Women's and Gender Studies

Moderator: Anna Kirkland, Director, Institute for Research on Women and Gender; Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, Women's and Gender Studies; Political Science, Sociology, and Health Management & Policy (by courtesy)

The racial reckoning during 2020 sparked renewed energy to address pervasive structural racism and the resulting disparate inequities and injustices impacting minoritized communities and communities of color in the US. Institutions of higher education across the nation have expressed commitments to address racism in their organizations. Similarly, many institutions across the country have sought to focus new efforts to end harassment based on sex, sexuality, and gender, yet these efforts have often operated separately from the fight to address systemic racism.

At the College of Literature, Science & the Arts (LSA) at the University of Michigan, working groups have produced both an LSA Task Force on Anti-Racism and Racial Equality report and a Preventing Sexual Harassment report in recent months. Additionally, the university commissioned reports on high-profile cases of sexual misconduct (Philbert and Anderson) and created campus initiatives in response to national conversations around anti-racism.

This expert panel will help us to understand how systems of racism and sexism support and maintain each other, discuss recent efforts to grapple with these issues at Michigan, frame them within a broader theoretical and political context and then provide suggestions on how to move from intention to action and how to enact structural change that is transformational and sustainable.

Cosponsored by: The Institute for Research on Women and Gender, the Initiative on Gender Based Violence and Sexual Harassment at IRWG, the Women’s & Gender Studies Department, and the National Center for Institutional Diversity’s Anti-Racism Collaborative

A Digital Studies Institute panel discussion, co-presented by the University of Michigan and the Consulate General of Canada

The logic of so-called "technological evolution" categorizes innovations into binaries of Old/Defunct and New/Good, without a fluid understanding of time, influence, or use. Likewise, settler cultural studies compartmentalize indigenous peoples and practices as outside of the present time and space. This panel discussion taps into growing movements around the discussion of indigenous technologies and indigenous futures (itself a nod to Afrofuturism), taking a more expansive view of the holistic relationship between people and technologies. The panelists are coders, artists, and theorists who investigate not only the history but also the present and future of indigenous technologies, as well as the language and methodologies used to study them.

Presenters include:

- Amelia Winger-Bearskin, Banks Preeminence Chair and Associate Professor of Artificial Intelligence and the Arts, University of Florida, Digital Worlds Institute;
- Ron Eglash, Professor of Information, School of Information and Professor of Art and Design, Penny W Stamps School of Art and Design, University of Michigan;
- Jason Edward Lewis, University Research Chair in Computational Media and the Indigenous Future Imaginary at Concordia University;

Moderated by DSI Executive Director Marisa Olson, with opening remarks from the Consulate General of Canada.

Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

While there is often stigma around seeking mental health services, most people struggle with maintaining mental well-being at some point in their life. This often becomes more challenging depending on our environment and identities. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in four college students have a diagnosable mental illness, with depression being the most prevalent. Furthermore, the prevalence and severity of symptoms is dependent on education, race, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity. A University of Michigan study showed that half of all graduate students are experiencing psychological distress, with a higher prevalence of mental-health problems than the general highly educated population. Black men experience worse mental health outcomes than any other racial group of men and are also less likely to seek mental health services. Members of the LGBTQI are two to four times more likely to experience a mental health issue. As we all have many identities that contribute to how we perceive and navigate mental health, this mental health mini-series serves to highlight research and foster constructive conversations around identifying signs of mental illness, understanding how our identities impact our mental health, and maintaining mental well-being.
Speaker: Lisa Kaler is an expert in undergraduate and graduate student mental health and well-being. She focuses on how institutions can promote positive mental health through systemic change. Kaler uses a critical lens to understand how mental health issues intersect with social justice.
Panelists: Nneoma Edokobi, Medical Student, Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine; Chiamaka U. Ukachukwu, M.S., Ph.D. Candidate, Pharmacology, University of Michigan; Sierra Nance, Ph.D. Candidate, Molecular and Integrative Physiology, University of Michigan

CJS Lecture Series | Creation of and Participation in Networks: Visiting the Japan Biographical Database (December 9, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84239 84239-21620796@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 9, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Please take note of the 7pm (Ann Arbor time) starting time.

For the edited volume Women and Networks in Nineteenth Century Japan (University of Michigan Press, 2020) ten scholars gathered to identify and examine women’s involvement in networks. With the aim to heighten awareness of the gendered history of research on networks, all ten authors thus placed women in the center of their analyses. The result paints a heterogeneous picture which preempts the determination of one simple network pattern or a uniform type of networks particular to “women.” Rather the diversity indicate that not gender alone but many other factors play into the individual’s form of participation in networks. In the presentation, I take this specific result of the volume further by making a comparison of the involvement in networks by a husband and a wife: Rai Shizu and Rai Shunsui. I do with the help of the visualization tools of the Japan Biographical Database.


Bettina Gramlich-Oka is Professor of Japanese History at the Faculty of Liberal Arts, Sophia University. Some of her publications include Thinking Like a Man: Tadano Makuzu (Brill, 2006) and the coedited volume Economic Thought in Early Modern Japan (Brill, 2010). In the past years, her research centers on the exploration of networks of the Rai family from Hiroshima during the Tokugawa period. The development of the online Japan Biographical Database (https://proxy.qualtrics.com/proxy/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjbdb.jp%2F&token=cC8PSwwI5mKuO7eTtsIPENF1WA0Jspur9zV%2B3UAd1Ig%3D) is part of this endeavor, as well as the coedited volume with Anne Walthall, Miyazaki Fumiko, Sugano Noriko, Women and Networks in Nineteenth Century Japan (University of Michigan Press, 2020). Gramlich-Oka is currently the chief editor of Monumenta Nipponica

Considering Matthew Shepard (December 10, 2021 8:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89791 89791-21665800@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 10, 2021 8:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

by Craig Hella Johnson

Considering Matthew Shepard was performed under the direc­tion of award win­ning con­duc­tor Eugene Rogers, acclaimed stage direc­tor Matt Kunkel, and Emmy-award win­ning film pro­ducer Bob Berg. The Stamps Event Series’ premiere of the video will be fol­lowed by a con­ver­sa­tion between Rogers and the piece’s composer, Craig Hella John­son. 

Johnson wrote the piece as a tribute to Matthew Shepard, a gay college student who in 1998 was beaten by strangers, tied to a fence, and left for dead. Shepard’s death, along with the murder of James Byrd Jr. by white supermacists a few months earlier, led to Congress passing the Matthew Shep­ard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Pre­ven­tion Act in 2009.

What are the Asian and Asian-American discrimination issues that students, teachers, and individuals are struggling to understand in today’s globalized world? How do teachers interweave the politics of immigration into world history and civics curriculum? What makes a place a home for someone, and how do we build on the storyscapes of the under-written histories of anti-Asian racism and Asian-American identity?

Removing the screen from “over there,” experts in Area and Asian-American studies will explore identity, immigration and nationality and provide a discussion forum for applying these ideas into classroom use. Content covered will include snapshots from mid-19th century-20th century histories of China, Japan and Korea; the push-pull factors for immigration; exclusionary immigration policies; and the nuances of Asian American identity. Insights will be made into Asian-ness as well as “Asian-Americanness,” with one of the takeaways being the “hyphen" in hyphenated ethnicities, the middle ground to individuality and self.

FORMAT:

A virtual learning event through morning mini-talks followed by conversation/Q&A and an afternoon collaborative discussion forum bracketed according to grade level.

Suggestions for pre-workshop reading will be available.

Resources and books available through the U-M Books for Peaceful Purposes Grant.

Looking forward to another amazing interactive day of knowledge, expertise and networking... the outreach team at TVI East Asia Centers, University of Michigan

CANCELED: Omission as the Modern Form of Bias Against Indigenous People (December 13, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89710 89710-21665073@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 13, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Psychology

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been canceled and will be rescheduled for a later date. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

In the U.S. cultural imagination, Indigenous Peoples loom large in romanticized and stereotyped ways, yet contemporary Indigenous Peoples are largely omitted from the public conscience. In K-12 education, for example, 87% of references to Indigenous Americans portray them in a pre-1900’s context. In mainstream media, less than .5% of representations are of contemporary Indigenous Peoples. Utilizing both experimental and national survey studies, I will demonstrate that prevalent representations of Indigenous Peoples (or lack thereof) shape how people think, feel, and subsequently act towards Indigenous Peoples, as well as how Indigenous Peoples feel about themselves and act to make change in society. Specifically, I will first show that recognizing Indigenous omission shapes discrimination and both implicit and explicit bias towards Indigenous Peoples, including attitudes about the use of redface, and apathy towards the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls epidemic. I will then show how sensitivity to Indigenous omission has adverse psychological consequences for Indigenous Peoples’ wellbeing, but also serves to galvanize efforts to change the status quo through civic engagement. By making visible the pernicious consequences of omission and highlighting Indigenous agency and resistance to omission, we illuminate a path towards creating a more equitable future for Indigenous Peoples.

CSAS Lecture | Bombay Cinema and the Caribbean: Rhythmic Flows and Cultural Migrations across Creolized Geographies (January 7, 2022 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85912 85912-21630467@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 7, 2022 4:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location

Registration is required for this Zoom event. Please do so here: https://myumi.ch/Qeeqw

Scholarship on Indian cinema has focused mainly on the subcontinent and the newer, so-called “First World diasporas” of Europe and North America. An older diaspora was created in the 19th century through the transportation of nearly two million Indians to the Caribbean and elsewhere as indentured labor. The mixing of African- and Indian-diasporic cultures in Trinidad, Suriname, and Guyana has produced a dazzling mélange of hybrid visual, performance, and sonic forms, many of which are centrally informed by popular Indian cinema, a key cultural presence in the region since the 1930s.

Through the case study of an Indian performing duo, Babla and Kanchan, whose film music shows were wildly popular in the Anglophone Caribbean in the 1980s, this talk examines the pulsating energies of cultural traffic between the Caribbean and the Bombay film industry, mapping multi-directional, transoceanic creolization across the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. A little-known circuit of orchestra performers carried reverberations from their Caribbean shows to produce innovations in the aural scape of India’s film capital, Bombay, which appropriated chutney and soca songs in its blockbusters.

I employ a transregional mode of analysis that considers the interplay of spatial scales between the local, national, and global, as well as the temporal scales of empire, slavery, indenture, and postcoloniality to understand how the movement of commodities, capital, and labor produce certain cultural circuits and film industrial formations. The traffic of labor and culture across oceanic media pathways are embodied in film music orchestras like Babla and Kanchan’s that carry sonic and kinetic practices across regions, languages, and Black and brown racial identities, producing as it were, a cinematic cosmopolitanism from below. Studying cinema’s intermedial networks between and across Bombay and the Caribbean illuminates the multi-sited enfoldings of transcultural, transregional exchanges that extend and enrich conversations on race, media, and identity.

Usha Iyer is Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies in the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University. Their book, *Dancing Women: Choreographing Corporeal Histories of Hindi Cinema* (Oxford University Press, 2020), examines constructions of gender, stardom, sexuality, and spectacle in Hindi cinema through women’s labor, collaborative networks, and gestural genealogies to produce a corporeal history of South Asian cultural modernities. Their next project studies the affective engagements of Caribbean spectators with Indian cinema and the impact of Caribbean performance forms on Indian film industries. Dr. Iyer is Associate Editor of South Asia: Journal of South Asian Studies. Their essays have appeared and are forthcoming in *Camera Obscura, South Asian Popular Culture, Figurations in Indian Film*, and *The Oxford Handbook of Film Theory*, among others.

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

International engagement is often a foundational element of successful research and scholarship, and the University of Michigan remains committed to supporting and safeguarding this important activity with integrity, transparency and trust.

Partnering with individuals and entities outside U-M allows our community to push the frontiers of knowledge and discovery so that we can work together to find solutions to the world’s most urgent problems.

As with any collaboration involving an external sponsor, researchers play a critical role in safeguarding their research and complying with the terms and conditions of their sponsors/awards — a process that can be confusing, complicated and burdensome.

To help answer questions and ensure we all maintain the highest standards in pursuit of new knowledge, while complying fully with federal regulations and guidelines that govern research and scholarship, the Office of the Vice President for Research will host an International Research Engagement Town Hall from 2:30-3:30 p.m. on January 11 for faculty, staff and students.

The virtual town hall will be recorded and made available to those who cannot attend.

Campus Compact’s National Webinar series returns for 2021-2022 with more to support and inspire you.

In social action courses, students develop and enact campaigns to change a policy, which provides them with first-hand experience with power and democracy. There is no better response by Higher Education to the growing anti-democratic forces than social action since it is designed to do democracy.

Creating Inclusive Environments for Diverse Religious, Spiritual, and Secular Worldviews (January 14, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90385 90385-21670546@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 14, 2022 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

When you hear the word “diversity”, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, religion wasn’t the first thought or even the second one at that. We live in a world, work jobs, attend classes, and are a part of organizations that are religiously diverse. And yet, this identity is often forgotten or labeled as too taboo to talk about with others. In order to be effective leaders, influencers, and DEI practitioners, we have to critically examine how we are cultivating communities that both value and engage diverse religious, spiritual, and secular (RSS) worldviews. Join us for this interactive workshop as we explore how RSS worldviews shape our experiences and the spaces that we occupy.
Learning Objectives:

Examine one’s own religious, spiritual, secular (RSS) worldview
Explore how RSS worldviews have shaped one’s own and other’s experiences
Brainstorm strategies to engage diverse RSS worldviews to cultivate inclusive communities

This workshop is designed for University of Michigan master’s students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/gNN5Q.

Why I Fight, or Team Wristband (January 14, 2022 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90850 90850-21674257@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 14, 2022 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

“Why I Fight, or Team Wristband,” a short film adaptation of the 2019 Michigan Quarterly Review story by James Munro Leaf, dramatizes the perils of being defined by a mental illness and the complex and varied reactions of patients in the psychiatric system. It probes the presumption of labels and the complex dynamics of power. Directed, edited and adapted by Andy Kirshner and Gillian Eaton, the film features a diverse cast and crew of faculty and students from U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance and U-M College of Literature, Science and the Arts, including Professor Malcolm Tulip. Read Malcolm Tulip's interview with Michigan Quarterly Review about Why I Fight.

Through collaboration with the U-M Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program and other university units, the film will premiere virtually, January 14th, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. A panel on mental illness and the arts will expand on themes in “Why I Fight, or Team Wristband” and invite conversation with audience members. The panel will include individuals who live with mental illness; U-M faculty experts in related fields; and practitioners in the arts.

The discussion will also explore the role of creativity in healing and mental wellness. Dr. Melvin McInnis, Director of the Prechter Program, and other U-M mental health experts, will moderate the panel.

Virtual Saturday Sampler Tour | Tiny Objects, Big Stories (January 15, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89884 89884-21666279@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, January 15, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

The Kelsey Museum's Virtual Saturday Sampler tours are a great way to explore the ancient world from the comfort of your home.

The theme of this week's tour is "Tiny Objects, Big Stories."
Many visitors to museums focus on the big, shiny objects: huge statues, golden crowns, brightly painted coffins. But sometimes it’s the smallest artifacts that can tell us the most about the people of the ancient world. In this tour, we’ll focus on some of the smaller objects in the Kelsey Museum—amulets, coins, tiny figurines, and seals—and learn what they reveal about the ancient world.

Reparations is a topic that stirs up a lot of opinions on what the United States owes the descendants of enslaved Africans. Does it owe land? Money? Free college? Does it owe anything at all? Join us for a panel discussion as we explore the varying concepts of what is owed and what reparations might look like as we discuss the Crafting Democratic Futures project. Housed in the U-M Center for Social Solutions, Crafting Democratic Futures aims to tackle the complex histories surrounding race by working with colleges and universities around the country to develop suggestions for research-informed, community-engaged racial reparations solutions.

Writer and historian Scott Ellsworth has been researching and writing about the 1921 Tulsa race massacre for more than forty-five years. As a graduate student at Duke, he published DEATH IN A PROMISED LAND (LSU Press), the first comprehensive history of the massacre, in 1982. During the 1990s, he initiated the search for the unmarked graves of massacre victims, and served, alongside Dr. John Hope Franklin, as the lead scholar for the Tulsa Race Riot Commission. His latest book on the massacre, THE GROUND BREAKING: An American City and Its Search for Justice (Dutton/Penguin Random House), was longlisted for the 2021 National Book Award and the Carnegie Medal.

Formerly a faculty member at Howard University, and a historian at the Smithsonian Institution, Dr. Ellsworth has written for the New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times. His 2015 book, THE SECRET GAME (Little, Brown), won a PEN Book Award, while THE WORLD BENEATH THEIR FEET won a 2020 National Outdoor Book Award and has been translated into Italian, Polish, Czech, and Slovak.

Data Sharing: A Strategy for Housing and Workforce Systems Collaboration (January 19, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91008 91008-21675424@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 19, 2022 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Poverty Solutions

Employment success and housing stability go hand in hand. Although the public workforce and homeless service systems both serve homeless and unstably housed jobseekers, these systems work in silos in many communities. Collaboration is critical for these two systems to achieve their interrelated goals.

Heartland Alliance’s webinar series, Strategies for Workforce and Housing Systems Collaboration, shines a light on strategies communities can use to bridge the gap between systems and ensure equitable pathways to employment and income needed for housing stability.

One promising systems collaboration strategy is cross-system data sharing. Our second webinar of the series, Data Sharing: A Strategy for Housing and Workforce Systems Collaboration, will provide an overview of data sharing, how Chicago and Detroit have operationalized this strategy, and how it can be used to better understand and meet the needs of workforce and homeless service populations in your community.

Data sharing allows systems to gain important information such as how many people make up their shared service population, what kinds of services these individuals want, need, and receive from each system, and where there may be untapped opportunities for partnerships or gaps that could best be addressed collaboratively. The webinar will feature on-the-ground perspectives of systems leaders from Chicago and Detroit who have implemented data-sharing strategies across systems in their communities.

PANELISTS:
- Scott Jackson, CAM System Coordinator at Southwest Solutions
- Jennifer Erb-Downward, Senior Research Associate at Poverty Solutions at University of Michigan
- Kevin Naud, Workforce Strategy Analyst at Detroit at Work
- Nancy Phillips, Chief Program Officer at Inspiration Corporation and a co-chair of the Employment Task Force at AllChicago
- Dena Al-Khatib, Career Connect Administrator at Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership
- Lisa Bly-Jones, CEO of Chicago Jobs Council

Charles Davis is Professor of Biology at Harvard University and Curator of Vascular Plants at the Harvard University Herbaria. He uses collections-oriented and phylogenetic research to investigate plant evolution and ecology in a variety of tropical and temperate clades.

Abstract
Parasitic plants have remained a great mystery in the flowering plant tree of life. Among the most iconic and bizarre are the Rafflesiaceae, which produce the world’s largest flowers. I will illustrate our efforts to untangle evolutionary relationships of this charismatic family, expose the developmental underpinnings of their massive flowers, and reveal the genomic basis of extreme plant parasitism.

Eileen Southern and The Music of Black Americans: A Celebratory Roundtable (January 21, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90772 90772-21673725@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 21, 2022 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Featuring:
◦ Naomi André (Professor in the Departments of Afroamerican and African Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies, and the Residential College)
◦ Antonio Cuyler (Associate Professor of Arts Administration and Visiting Assistant
Professor at SMTD)
◦ Charles Garrett (Professor of Musicology at SMTD)
◦ Marc Hannaford (Assistant Professor of Music Theory at SMTD)
◦ Kira Thurman (Assistant Professor of History and German in LSA)

Eileen Southern (1920–2002) is one of the most influential figures in Black music scholarship. This roundtable discussion, featuring professors from across the entire University of Michigan, aims to introduce faculty and students to Southern’s work and discuss its importance for contemporary music studies.

Southern was the first Black scholar to earn a PhD in musicology in the United States, founded the first academic journal dedicated to Black music, The Black Perspective in Music, in 1973, was the first Black scholar to publish in The Journal of the American Musicological Society (in 1968), and the first Black women to be awarded tenure at Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences (in 1976). Southern’s The Music of Black Americans: A History (Norton), first published in 1971, has appeared in three editions and was one of the first histories of Black music to cast such an expansive view, encompassing music from Africa, American slavery, minstrelsy, Black church music, ragtime, blues, jazz, opera, art music, rock ‘n’ roll, disco, And hip-hop, among others.

This book represents an important early intervention in music studies that otherwise ignored the rich history of Black music and the struggles of Black musicians in the face of white supremacy.

This event commemorates Southern and her work, highlights a longer history of Black people writing about Black culture, and promotes Southern’s work as important for teaching and learning today. By better understanding the history of Black music “from its origin in Africa through its manifestations in colonial America and then in the United States, up to the present time,” as well as scholars like Southern who have engaged with these efforts for many years, we can work toward a more just and equitable future. Currently based at the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance and the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts at the University of Michigan, these panelists will engage this text by sharing how it helped shape their own scholarship and how this book remains relevant to teaching inclusive curricula and in diverse interdisciplinary classrooms.

The Clements Bookworm: "Vanguard" Author Conversation with Martha S. Jones (January 21, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90355 90355-21670449@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 21, 2022 10:00am

Organized By: William L. Clements Library

In the standard story, the suffrage crusade began in Seneca Falls in 1848 and ended with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. But this overwhelmingly white women's movement did not win the vote for most black women. Securing their rights required a movement of their own. Historian Martha S. Jones’ 2020 book “Vanguard” shows how African American women defied both racism and sexism to fight for the ballot, and wielded political power to secure the equality and dignity of all persons. From the earliest days of the republic to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and beyond, black women—Maria Stewart, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Fannie Lou Hamer, and more—were the vanguard of women's rights, calling on America to realize its best ideals.

Food, Trade, and Ritual: Human-Animal Interactions among the Moche of North Coastal Peru (January 21, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90944 90944-21674994@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 21, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Museum of Anthropological Archaeology

Animals form the foundation of all societies as subsistence resources, hunting and herding companions, and as symbols for ritual activities. In the Andes, sea lions, camelids, condors, guinea pigs, dogs and many other species were part of daily activities but also supernatural characters in creation stories and as zoomorphic figures involved in sacrificial practices. The Moche (CE 200-900) have been argued to be a cultural flourishment that witnessed the rise of stark social inequalities and the reformulation of Andean ritual rites. While famed for its large temple constructions, metallurgical production, and human sacrificial practices, an understudied aspect of the Moche political economy is their use and depiction of different marine and terrestrial species as subsistence sources, social capital, and symbols. In this talk, I use iconographic, zooarchaeological, and isotopic data from the Late Moche (CE 600-900) site of Huaca Colorada to examine the role of wild and domestic animal species in differently facilitating the interaction between coastal communities and long-distance exchange with the highlands. Results do not support the unilateral control of Moche elites over local and hinterland communities but rather strong local continuity in the depiction of species and the butchery and sharing of their remains in large-scale feasts. I conclude that through an egalitarian ethos, Moche ceremonial activities formulated temporary communities of consolidation that brought together artisans, agropastoralists, and fisherfolk. These productive moments during a seasonal calendar transformed relationships between communities dwelling in distinct ecozones and enabled the reformulation of personhood for human and non-human animals.

Applied Trans Technology Studies (January 22, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88815 88815-21658548@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, January 22, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

The Center for Applied Transgender Studies is proud to host its first virtual symposium, co-organized by Senior Fellows Oliver Haimson, Alex Hanna, and Anna Lauren Hoffmann and co-sponsored by:

Northwestern University (NU) Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing,

University of Michigan (UM) School of Information,

UM Digital Studies Institute,

UM Institute for Research on Women and Gender,

NU PhD in Technology and Social Behavior,

The Sexualities Project at Northwestern, and

NU Gender and Sexuality Studies Program.

This event highlights existing and emergent connections between applied trans studies and the critical and cultural study of technological design, development, application and use—especially in the domains of digital studies and critical data studies. Importantly, the event conceives of these connections as multifaceted and multidirectional. Rather than merely identifying trans lives and subjects within the existing matrices of study, we ask how the precepts and commitments of an applied trans studies challenges how we think about and understand data and digital technologies today.

SESSION 1: Applied Trans Studies X Critical Data Studies

In this session, we will hear from scholars on entanglements of gender, surveillance, and data technologies—in particular, computational techniques predicated on capturing, classifying, labeling, sorting, bounding, optimizing, and visualizing data in various contexts. Particular concern will be paid to the practical and material effects of these processes on trans lives and livelihoods, as well as the ways trans subjects make evident the assumptions of organizing logics of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and beyond.

Moderator: Alex Hanna (Google)

Panelists: Avery Everhart (University of Southern California), Jack Gieseking (University of Kentucky), Mar Hicks (Illinois Institute of Technology), Morgan Klaus Scheuerman (University of Colorado, Boulder), and Nikki Stevens (Dartmouth College)

KEYNOTE: How To Stuff a Wild Duck: Configurations of Transness in Corporate Computing

In this keynote, we will hear from Dr Cassius Adair (University of Minnesota), who will bring us closer to a trans history of computing through an analysis of IBM.

SESSION 2: Applied Trans Studies X Digital Studies

In this session, we will hear from scholars who work at the intersection of applied trans studies and digital studies. We will explore the past, present, and future of trans technologies like apps, social media sites, health resources, games, and internet forums to understand some ways digital technologies do and can help to address challenges faced by trans people and communities.

Moderator: Oliver Haimson (University of Michigan)

Panelists: Alex Ahmed (Carnegie Mellon University), Moya Bailey (Northwestern University), Tee Chuanromanee (University of Notre Dame), Avery Dame-Griff (Washington State University, Pullman), and Whit Pow (New York University)

MORE FACULTY Session: Getting Your Mentoring Relationship Off to a Good Start (January 25, 2022 9:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89880 89880-21666205@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 25, 2022 9:30am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

This workshop helps enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor by facilitating the development of shared expectations. Mentors and mentees work independently in separate sessions to identify their own objectives and styles, and to consider strategies for dealing with possible challenges. Then, student-faculty pairs work together to develop a written mentoring plan as a means of codifying some of the most important elements (needs, goals, mutual expectations) of a two-way mentoring relationship. Over 85 percent of Rackham doctoral students who have written mentoring plans report those plans to be useful.
Faculty who have attended a MORE workshop in the past should feel free to join the workshop only for the student-faculty work together (the last hour of the workshop). Registration is still required of both the faculty and the student.
Optional additional time for developing a mentoring plan is available from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.
Faculty registration is required at https://myumi.ch/bRZkX.
Separate registration for students is available at https://myumi.ch/XV2A3.
We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time, preferably one week, to arrange for your requested accommodations or an effective alternative.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | The Blue Maps of China (January 25, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90685 90685-21672280@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 25, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

In the first decades of the nineteenth century, large-format woodblock-printed terrestrial and celestial maps were produced in bright blue in China. These visually striking maps in addition to their physical scale are unique in the history of not only East Asian but world map making traditions. This presentation introduces these blue maps, historicizing them from the late Ming through Qing dynasties and considers numerous aspects of their production especially in light of recent analysis performed at the University of Michigan Museum of Art Conservation Center and the Weissman Preservation Center, Harvard University.

Please register in advance for this Zoom seminar here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zxRRberdR4e6f18TAkEifQ

Richard A. Pegg is currently Director and Curator of Asian Art for the MacLean Collection, an Asian art museum and separate map library located north of Chicago, Illinois. Dr. Pegg has a BA and MA in East Asian Literature from The George Washington University and a PhD in East Asian Art History from Columbia University. He has written and lectured widely on the visual, literary, cartographic and martial arts traditions of East Asia. His most recent research has been focused on the cartography of East Asia, authoring two books: "Cartographic Traditions in East Asian Maps" (2014) and "The Blue Maps of China" (forthcoming).

Positive Links Speaker Series (January 25, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88142 88142-21650719@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 25, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Ross Center for Positive Organizations

Tuesday, January 25, 2022
1:00-2:00 p.m. ET
Free, registration required to obtain login information: https://positiveorgs.bus.umich.edu/events/ethical-learning-and-character-development/

Positive Links:

The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the talk:

Individuals’ experiences at work can provide the opportunity for them to become a better person, in all aspects of their life. Instead of helping workers make more ethical decisions in the moment, organizations can and should create environments that help them become more ethical people in the long run.

In her talk, Maryam Kouchaki will present a bottom-up approach to ethics, focusing on what individuals can do for themselves to take ownership over their moral development at work. She will also talk about a top-down approach to helping workers develop moral character at work, focusing on what organizations can do to create a workplace environment conducive to ethical learning.

Taken together, these bottom-up and top-down approaches highlight the potential role of the workplace as a moral laboratory that allows individuals to engage in an ongoing process of ethical learning, to find the opportunities and support they need to learn, grow, and further develop their moral character.

About Kouchaki:

Maryam Kouchaki is an Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at Kellogg School of Management. She is an organizational psychologist who seeks to understand everyday moral encounters, particularly at work. Her research is organized around two conceptual themes that involve 1) understanding the dynamic nature of moral decision-making and 2) understanding how individuals psychologically experience everyday moral encounters. Maryam examines these with a particular emphasis on the consequences of these encounters for individuals and groups. Across a series of articles, she has uncovered novel and often counterintuitive forces that continually create widespread unethicality. Notably, she offers evidence that everyday moral encounters cannot be fully understood without a thorough consideration of the individual’s psychological experience of them.

She is the editor-in-chief of journal of Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. Her work has appeared in scholarly publications such as Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, and Psychological Science, and has been featured in media outlets such as the Harvard Business Review, New York Times, Business Week, Wall Street Journal, the Huffington Post, and BBC world radio. Maryam was also named to Poets and Quants 2020 list of Best 40 Under 40 Professors.

Host:

Gretchen Spreitzer, Associate Dean for Engaged Learning and Professional Development; Keith E. and Valerie J. Alessi Professor of Business Administration; Professor of Management and Organizations

Series Sponsors:

The Center for Positive Organizations thanks Sanger Leadership Center, Tauber Institute for Global Operations, Samuel Zell & Robert H. Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies, and Diane (BA ‘73) and Paul (MBA ‘75) Jones for their support of the 2021-22 Positive Links Speaker Series.

DSI Book Talk with Anna Watkins Fisher & Kris Cohen (January 25, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90651 90651-21672073@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 25, 2022 3:00pm

Safety Orange first emerged in the 1950s as a bureaucratic color standard in technical manuals and federal regulations in the United States. Today it is most visible in the contexts of terror, pandemic, and environmental alarm systems; traffic control; work safety; and mass incarceration. In recent decades, the color has become ubiquitous in American public life—a marker of the extreme poles of state oversight and abandonment, of capitalist excess and dereliction. Its unprecedented saturation encodes the tracking of those bodies, neighborhoods, and infrastructures judged as worthy of care—and those deemed dangerous and expendable. This talk takes up Safety Orange as an interpretive key for theorizing the uneven distribution of safety and care in twenty-first-century U.S. public life and for pondering what the color tells us about neoliberalism’s intensifying impact often hiding in plain sight in ordinary and commonplace phenomena.

Anna Watkins Fisher, author of Safety Orange (Minnesota, Dec 2021), Digital Studies Institute faculty member, and Associate Professor of American Culture at the University of Michigan, is a cultural and media theorist whose research spans the fields of digital studies, performance studies, visual culture, environmental humanities, and critical theory. Her first book, The Play in the System: The Art of Parasitical Resistance (Duke University Press, 2020), explores what artistic resistance looks like in the 21st century when disruption and dissent can be easily co-opted and commodified. Her essays have appeared in such venues as Journal of Visual Culture, Social Text, Discourse, WSQ (Women's Studies Quarterly), MIRAJ, and TDR/The Drama Review. She is the co-editor with Wendy Hui Kyong Chun of the 2nd edition of New Media, Old Media: A History and Theory Reader (Routledge, 2015). She's also a founding member of the digital research collective Precarity Lab; the collective's manifesto, Technoprecarious, was published by Goldsmiths/MIT Press in 2020. She co-leads the Critical Futures Project, a research collective based at the University of Michigan that explores theoretical approaches for addressing the new urgency of climate change under digital and racial capitalism.

Respondent Kris Cohen is an associate professor of Art History and Humanities at Reed College. He works on the relationship between art, economy, and media technologies, focusing especially on the aesthetics of collective life. His first book, Never Alone, Except for Now: Networked Life between Populations and Publics (Duke University Press, 2017), looks at the art of Thomson & Craighead, Sharon Hayes, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, artists who straddle the border between image culture and network culture, between a logic of spectacle and a logic of networks. His second book manuscript, The Human in Bits, is a study of how and why artists working out a non-representational politics of Blackness have engaged a history of the pixel and the raster of the graphical computer screen or graphic user interface (GUI), expanding that history beyond the confines of a liberal, post-racial politics that sought to recuperate whiteness as a part of a multicultural national social matrix.

WCED Roundtable Discussion. Lobbying the Autocrat (January 25, 2022 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90825 90825-21674144@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 25, 2022 5:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies

Panelists: Sasha de Vogel, Postdoctoral Fellow, New York University's Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia; Manfred Elfstrom, Assistant Professor of Economics, Philosophy, and Political Science, University of British Columbia, Okanagan; Max Grömping, Lecturer at the School of Government and International Relations, Griffith University; David Szakonyi, Assistant Professor of Political Science, George Washington University; Jessica C. Teets, Associate Professor, Middlebury College

Who influences the world's most influential autocracies? Contributors to the latest issue of the APSA newsletter "Democracy and Autocracy," dedicated to the theme "Lobbying the Autocrat," will discuss both the unique characteristics of advocacy under autocratic conditions and similarities to those in democracies, with case studies from China and Russia.

Sasha de Vogel received her PhD in Political Science from the University of Michigan in 2021, and also holds an MA in Russian, Eastern European and Eurasian Regional Studies from Columbia University. Her research focuses on the politics of authoritarian regimes and collective action, particularly in Russia and the post-Soviet region, and has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation/Harriman Institute, among others.

Manfred Elfstrom is the author of "Workers and Change in China: Resistance, Repression, Responsiveness" (Cambridge University Press, 2021). He has a doctorate from Cornell University and was previously a Postdoctoral Scholar and Teaching Fellow at the University of Southern California’s School of International Relations and a China Public Policy Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University’s Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation. Before entering academia, he worked with non-profits supporting workers’ rights and improved grassroots governance in China.

Max Grömping researches interest group politics, comparative authoritarianism, and electoral integrity, with a regional focus on Southeast Asia. Max previously worked as Research Associate at the Electoral Integrity Project (University of Sydney), and as Lecturer at Heidelberg University, Germany. He was a visiting Research Fellow at the Social Science Center Berlin (WZB) in 2016/17. Max’s work has been published in "Political Communication," "Governance," "Party Politics," and "Democratization," among others.

David Szakonyi is co-founder of the Anti-Corruption Data Collective. His research focuses on corruption, clientelism, and political economy in Russia, Western Europe, and the United States. His book—"Politics for Profit: Business, Elections, and Policymaking in Russia" (Cambridge University Press, 2020)—examines why business people run for elected political office worldwide, how their firms perform as a result, and whether individuals with private sector experience make better policy decisions. Other research looks at the effectiveness of anti-corruption campaigns, employers’ mobilizing their employees to vote, and nepotism under authoritarian rule.

Jessica C. Teets is Associate Editor of the "Journal of Chinese Political Science." Her research focuses on governance in authoritarian regimes, especially the role of civic participation. She is the author of "Civil Society Under Authoritarianism: The China Model" (Cambridge University Press, 2014) and editor (with William Hurst) of "Local Governance Innovation in China: Experimentation, Diffusion, and Defiance" (Routledge Contemporary China Series, 2014), in addition to articles published in "The China Quarterly," "World Politics," "Governance," and the "Journal of Contemporary China." Dr. Teets is currently researching local governance under Xi Jinping.

TOMBÉ (2018)

DIALOGUES (2013)
Yerevan turns beautiful when, under its nocturnal embrace, two lovers meet once again. What difference can a single cool summer night, a brief encounter, and an incomplete conversation bring to their lives...?

Rackham Minority Serving Institutions Initiative Coffee Chat Series: Developing Partnerships with Hispanic Serving Institutions (January 26, 2022 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90693 90693-21672380@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 26, 2022 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

With conversations about increasing the compositional diversity of graduate students and faculty at all institutions of higher education, Minority Serving Institutions are often considered as potential partners. In this session participants will learn about Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) as potential partners. With 569 colleges and universities now eligible for the HSI designation, there are many things to consider as HSIs are extremely diverse by size, type, and location. Gina Ann Garcia will talk about the changing demographics at HSIs and the progress (or lack of progress) towards racial equity and justice within HSIs.
Gina Ann Garcia is an associate professor in the Department of Educational Foundations, Organizations, and Policy at the University of Pittsburgh. Her research centers on issues of equity and justice in higher education with an emphasis on understanding how Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) embrace and enact an organizational identity for serving minoritized populations. She also seeks to understand the experiences of administrators, faculty, and staff within HSIs and the outcomes and experiences of students attending these institutions. Finally, her research looks at the ways that race and racism have shaped the experiences of minoritized groups in higher education.
Registration is required at https://myumi.ch/AwwAw.
We want to ensure full and equitable participation in our events. If an accommodation would promote your full participation in this event, please follow the registration link to indicate your accommodation requirements. Please let us know as soon as possible in order to have adequate time, preferably one week, to arrange for your requested accommodations or an effective alternative.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Speakers:
- Vanessa Dalton, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Michigan Medicine
- Leah Litman, Assistant Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School and a contributor to the podcast Strict Scrutiny
- Sara McClelland, Associate Professor of Psychology & Women's and Gender Studies
- Sarah Wallett, Chief Medical Officer, Planned Parenthood of Michigan

Moderator:
- Anna Kirkland, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Women's and Gender Studies; Director, Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG)

Description:
On December 1, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a Mississippi case that would make most abortions illegal after 15 weeks of pregnancy (roughly two months earlier than the 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade). The state explicitly asked the Court to overrule Roe, which turns 49 on January 22, 2022. A solid majority of Justices (6-3) are on record opposing abortion rights. IRWG has invited experts to discuss the case, including implications for the future of abortion access across the states and reproductive rights and justice in the U.S. more broadly. The oral argument recording and transcript are available here: https://www.oyez.org/cases/2021/19-1392

Jazz composer, pianist, jazz orchestra leader, and symphonic orchestra conductor, Duke Ellington also composed some symphonic works of great complexity. Three Black Kings, a score for ballet, was his last major work. The first movement represents Balthazar, the Black king of the Nativity; the second portrays Solomon, King of Israel; and the third celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ellington's personal friend. Luca Bragalini will discuss Martin Luther King’s musical depiction in Three Black Kings, with an analysis of the implications of the Black King’s imagery in art history, political thought, and the importance that religion has had for the African American community.

Beyond Privacy: Fairness in How Personal Data is Used in Our New Digital World (January 28, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91217 91217-21677398@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 28, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

Starting from revealing the reason why January 28 is celebrated as “Data Privacy” Day, this talk will explain why there is a difference between “data protection” and “privacy”, which are two different rights recognized as such at constitutional level in Europe and a couple of jurisdictions in Latin America - most recently in Brazil, and manifesting distinctively elsewhere even when not expressly recognized by law as being two different rights. It is essential to understand this difference, because it has consequences in the age of automated decision-making and algorithms that impact people and their communities. Looking at several real-life cases from the past three years adjudicated in Europe and all involving a form of automated decision-making underpinned by processing of personal data, this talk will underline how the essential elements of data protection law - including fairness, transparency, individual control over personal data - are shaping up the safeguarding of individual rights in the new digital world. The presentation will end with a look towards several large jurisdictions which are adopting data protection specific laws, everywhere around the world, from California, to Brazil, China, Kenya and India.

Dr. Florian Schaub, Assistant Professor of Information, School of Information and Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, College of Engineering, will be facilitating Q&A time after the keynote presentation.

The Department of Anthropology presents
The Michigan Anthropology Colloquium Series

"Prayers for the People Revisited: Digital and Experimental Animation in and Beyond the Space of Death"

Abstract: In the midst of an overlapped crisis and state of collapse, instantiated as disaster, the COVID-19 pandemic, deepening inequality, or persistent racism and violence, this talk explores a subtle but significant shift in scholarly orientation and method. Aligning with the aspirations of a radically humanist anthropology and inspired by recent scholarship on the aesthetics of black aliveness, I develop some ideas and practices for moving alongside, and potentially beyond, the conditions of black life and death as they are currently configured in both scholarly inquiry and public discourse. Experimenting in particular with animation as a creative intellectual mode for unfixing and then setting in motion the expansive dimensions of being and becoming, I present scenes from a short animated film, using imagery and sound from my previous research in New Orleans collaged with new drawing, painting, and cut paper puppetry, to work along the seams of black death and aliveness in the Crescent City.

IMAGE DESCRIPTION: An artistically blurred black and white photo of a Black woman in a light colored hat and short dress walking or marching down a street in what looks like a parade.

Bio: Rebecca Louise Carter is Associate Professor of Anthropology and Urban Studies at Brown University. She received a doctorate in anthropology from the University of Michigan in 2010. Carter’s research focuses broadly on the cultivation of Black urban futures, particularly through the tracing of everyday conditions of structural and social violence and their reconfiguration via creativity, kinship and relatedness, and new forms of humanism and sovereignty. Her first book, Prayers for the People: Homicide and Humanity in the Crescent City (University of Chicago Press, 2019) won the Anthony Leeds Prize in Urban Anthropology and was a co-winner of the Edie Turner First Book Prize in Ethnographic Writing. Related articles and essays have appeared in City & Society, Ethnos, Kalfou: A Journal of Comparative and Relational Ethnic Studies, and Visual Anthropology Review. Carter’s current research develops through engaged and multimodal forms of ethnographic and ethnohistoric practice including oral history, photography, film/animation, and collaborative and creative nonfiction writing.

CSAS Lecture | Spatializing Islam during the Early Cold War: the ‘Ahmadi Question’ in the Munir Kayani Report and Pakistani Literature (January 28, 2022 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85913 85913-21630468@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 28, 2022 4:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

Please register in advance for this Zoom event. Registration is here: https://myumi.ch/V77MN

With reference to several fictive and non-fictive texts, this talk explores how Ahmadis, classified as “non-Muslims,” have occupied and moved through space in Pakistan. I focus primarily on Manto’s “Letters to Uncle Sam” and the Government of Pakistan’s Munir-Kayani Report on the Punjab Disturbances of 1953, both published in Pakistan’s early years, which are, of course, also the early years of the Cold War, and briefly move through the following decades with references to Nadeem Aslam’s 2013 novel, *Season of the Rainbirds*, and Uzma Aslam Khan’s 2018 short story, “My Mother is a Lunar Crater.” My argument is that spatial analyses of textual representations of non-Muslim identities in fictive and non-fictive texts illustrate how Pakistan was engaging in state-making and nation-making simultaneously to define spaces themselves—indeed using the trappings of a religiously-exclusionary nationalism to bolster state operations and claim space—during these years. By taking a spatial turn—that is, by attending to the territorialization or geospatialization of Islam in Pakistan—I extend Sadia Saeed’s work on how the eventual constitutional exclusion of Ahmadis from the Muslim community in Pakistan contests the assumption the “processes of nation building occur independently of the construction of state institutions” (132). Saeed’s analysis concerns itself with how the Pakistani state inflected and took shape from “a new definition of the national community by equating the nation with Islam[,]” a move that, in Saeed’s view, led to the “construction of new social imaginaries” (133). I’m interested in how these imaginaries take material form, and, in doing so, I maintain Saeed’s impulse but shift the focus to better understand how the conflation of “Muslim” and “Pakistani” operates in place, both intra-nationally and internationally. The Cold War and its aftermath serve as the international context in which I attempt to situate Pakistan’s domestic moves vis-à-vis the Ahmadiyya community. From Jinnah’s purposeful citation of George C. Marshall in his address to the Constituent Assembly on 11 August 1947 and US Information Service’s proposal to Manto in the early 1950s to Bhutto’s and Zia’s explicit legal exclusions of Ahmadis in the 1970s and 1980s, respectively, I trace parallels between Pakistan’s internal and international dynamics to highlight the ambient conditions bringing together Cold War geopolitics and certain iterations of Pakistan’s efforts to define “Islam.”

Saeed, Sadia. “Pakistani Nationalism and the State Marginalisation of the Ahmadiyya Community in Pakistan.”

60th Anniversary Alumni Lecture Series

Chinese multinational corporations (MNCs) in Africa have often invited criticism for hiring Chinese expatriates at the expense of native workers. Do Chinese firms increase the number of Chinese expatriate workers, and if so, do they rely more heavily on expatriate workers than do MNCs from other sources? In this talk, she discusses when and why Chinese MNCs rely on Chinese expatriate workers and how host countries' institutions influence Chinese MNCs' decisions to bring expatriate workers.

Organized By: Judaic Studies

An ICAMus (The International Center for American Music) event, sponsored by MCECS (Michigan Center for Early Christian Studies), in collaboration with the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies and Dept. of Middle East Studies, University of Michigan

In honor of Martin Luther King Day 2022

Advanced Registration Required: https://tinyurl.com/t77y66uh

The Blues, an expression of late 19th-century Southern African-American folklore, is a river with many tributaries. Jazz, gospel, pop music with all its branches ranging from Broadway songs to hard rock via rock'n’roll and funk, are some of them. But there is another stream, running through the classical music of the twentieth century. Many composers turned their attention to the blues, and the number of Jewish classical composers who wrote blues is striking. Just to name a few: Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Milhaud, Copland, Gershwin; and Ullmann and Schulhoff who perished in the Shoah. Along this journey significant connections will be discovered between the African American and Jewish musical traditions.

The panel of specialists discussing the video includes:

Aloma Bardi - American-Music scholar, Founding Director of ICAMus

Nicole Panizza - musicologist and concert pianist, University of Coventry, UK

Paolo Somigli - musicologist, University of Bozen-Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy

Scott Hanoian - Music Director and Conductor of the UMS Choral Union

Stefano Zenni - musicologist and jazz expert, Music Conservatory Bologna, Italy

Marilyn Lester - author, editor, jazz critic, New York

Luca Bragalini is Professor of Jazz History at the Music Conservatory of Brescia, Italy. He has discovered unpublished works by Duke Ellington, Chet Baker and Luciano Chailly; some of them he has had premièred and recorded. A published author and lecturer, Professor Bragalini was Distinguished Scholar at Reed College (Portland, OR) where he offered a series of lectures on Ellington. His book Duke Ellington’s Symphonic Visions—published in Italy in 2018, with an accompanying CD of première recordings and previously unpublished archival photos, all contents discovered by Bragalini—is the first volume entirely dedicated to Ellington’s symphonic music.

Detroit Financial Well-Being Innovation Challenge Launch (February 2, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91243 91243-21677515@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 2, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Poverty Solutions

The Detroit Financial Well-being Innovation Challenge is a multi-year, $2M+ initiative supported by United Way for Southeastern Michigan to provide funding and support to cross-sector organizations to think big, collaborate, plan, pilot, and scale new ideas to improve Detroiters’ financial lives.

During the virtual launch event, you'll learn more about how to participate in the Challenge, and have the opportunity to engage in interactive idea-sharing activities. The event is open to potential applicant organizations, stakeholders, and members of the public.

The Challenge builds off University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions’ research report, The Financial Well-Being of Detroit Residents: What Do We Know?. Report findings showed that Detroit residents face deep and persistent financial disadvantages even as compared to residents of peer cities – and that these disadvantages are the result of systemic inequities.

For more information about this research and the Innovation Challenge made possible with support from JPMorganChase, General Motors, and Comerica, visit https://unitedwaysem.org/fwb

Conference posters are for more than communicating your research. While a good poster will help you tell a succinct story about your project, a great poster will serve as a platform for engaging in meaningful discussion with your audience and building your network. This session will focus on how to design and create a poster that stands out in message and presentation. We will discuss the basics of design tools, selecting appropriate content, data visualization, and overall organization and visual appeal.

WDI, U-M Poverty Solutions Hosts Inclusive Fintech Pioneer Collins (February 3, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/91854 91854-21684138@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 3, 2022 10:00am
Location:
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

Traditional surveys and questionnaires can be imprecise methods for understanding the needs and motivations of low-income and vulnerable populations. In a Feb. 17 virtual discussion, acclaimed author and entrepreneur Daryl Collins will explore how technology can help researchers, nonprofits and businesses engage and serve these communities around the world.

During the talk, Collins will share examples of how her company, Decodis, is using technology to collect and analyze qualitative data in a more scalable and lower-cost manner. Collins will share examples of collecting data using WhatsApp audio responses to understand changes in gender norms and assessing Google Play reviews of digital lending apps in India. In both examples, Collins will share how she and her team used Natural Language Processing (NLP) – a common market tool - to detect key topics and phrases to unpack the meaning of the responses. She’ll also share how she and her team analyzed speech signals (such as pitch, duration of responses and voice modulation) in the audio files to determine whether the respondent was engaged in their responses, when the respondent was unsure, and when the respondent gave them a “canned response” — i.e., telling the researchers what he/she thought the researchers wanted to hear.

The William Davidson Institute and the University of Michigan’s Poverty Solutions are co-sponsoring the talk, which begins at 5 p.m. is free and open to the public.

As a pioneer working at the intersection of finance and human vulnerability, Collins has built a broad portfolio of work with financial service providers, foundations, bilateral donors and governments. Collins’ work is grounded in a deep understanding of the financial lives of individuals. She is the author of the ground-breaking “Portfolios of the Poor” and creator of the Financial Diaries, a research tool used in over 10 countries, including South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique and Tanzania. 

People living at or near poverty levels are less likely to speak their minds when responding to surveys and other efforts to collect data. This hesitancy is understandable, but it also creates a real challenge for researchers, enterprises and policymakers to better understand their needs, said Heather Esper, Director of WDI’s Performance Measurement & Improvement group.

“Daryl Collins is truly a pioneer in collecting and analyzing data to better understand the lives of low-income and vulnerable individuals at scale,” Esper said. “The qualitative methods she uses shed more light on what individuals are saying by accounting for how they say it.”

Collins recently established Decodis with a team of linguists and Natural Language Processing data scientists. Decodis seeks to advance scale and robustness in qualitative research techniques by providing tech-led consumer research methods that are insightful, scalable and low cost. The Decodis team is currently working on a range of projects across a breadth of countries, languages and sectors to explore new ways of both collecting and analyzing open-end response data. 

Collins holds bachelor’s and master's degrees in economics from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from New York University. She spent the last decade as Managing Director and CEO of BFA, a niche financial inclusion consulting practice with offices in Boston, New York, Nairobi, Accra, New Delhi and Medellin.

Publication is one of the essential methods a scholar uses to disseminate their work, but many graduate students and postdoctoral fellows have little or no prior experience discussing authorship guidelines and best practices. In this workshop, we will share best practices for authorship and discuss the ethical questions that often arise in the publication process. Given that graduate students and postdoctoral fellows often co-author with mentors and peers, we will also share resources for discussing authorship with others and analyze case studies to explore common co-authorship challenges.

Flash Talk | From Huts to Palaces: Understanding the Architecture of Rome's First Houses (February 4, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90578 90578-21671841@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 4, 2022 12:00pm

The old cliche says "Rome wasn't built in a day." However, Rome transformed from a city of mud huts to one of stone palaces within a fifty-year period, or one may even say, "a day." In this talk, IPCAA graduate student Amelia Eichengreen discusses Rome's changing architectural landscape from huts to palaces as well as the current state of the field, what the huts looked like, how they were used, and how they can help us to better understand Rome's earliest inhabitants.

Kelsey Museum Flash Talks are 15-minute Zoom lectures by Kelsey curators, staff members, researchers, and graduate students talking about their recent research or current projects. Each presentation is followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Flash Talks are free and open to all visitors. They take place at noon on the first Friday of every month.

The Museum Studies Program invites students enrolled in any graduate program at the University of Michigan to apply for the Fall 2022 cohort. This multidisciplinary graduate certificate program draws on ideas from the arts, humanities, natural and social sciences, and technology and provides countless opportunities to apply theories in a vast array of museums and cultural institutions on campus, in the region, nationally and around the world.
The MSP curriculum examines the role of museums in society as sites of memory, learning, research, cultural production, public scholarship, civic engagement, and entertainment. The 12-credit certificate program consists of the Museum Studies Seminar (Fall and Winter terms, 6 credits), approved electives (6 credits), and a funded internship. It prepares students for academic and professional careers in museums, heritage sites, arboretums, botanical gardens, zoos and other living collections, and universities.

The Michigan Anthropology Colloquia Series: "How to wonder with techno-legal devices? Lists, Taxonomies, and the Making of a Future History in Costa Rica" (February 4, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90268 90268-21669037@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 4, 2022 3:00pm

Title: How to wonder with techno-legal devices? Lists, Taxonomies, and the Making of a Future History in Costa Rica.

Abstract: How do people commit to intervening in the future while acknowledging its unruliness? I propose the figure of the techno-legal device as a lively space where we can learn how people constantly negotiate the form of the worlds they want to bring about. I will focus on one device: a list of water types produced by Costa Rican congressional representatives during the discussion of a constitutional reform to recognize water as a public good and a human right. During the fifteen years the discussion lasted, Libertarian representatives made a series of seemingly outrageous claims: they theatrically declared that if water were a human right, ice cubes would become state property; they claimed that since all human bodies are 70% water, the reform would turn 70% of human bodies into state property. Session after session, they produced a typology of state-owned waters that challenged any definition of what water is, of where its borders sit, and of what ideas such as public goods and human rights entail. When analyzed as a techno-legal device, the Libertarian list allows people to establish relations with facts, matter, and politics. In this capacity, the list helps us see how a theatrical rejection of the human right to water is the making of a future history—a way of bringing about a series of preconditions that can only be recognized as meaningful in the yet to come.

Bio:
Andrea Ballestero is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Southern California and Director of the Ethnography Studio https://ethnographystudio.org/. Since 2002 she has conducted research in Costa Rica, Brazil, and elsewhere studying how water is defined, distributed, and valued. She is currently researching cultural imaginaries of the underground in Costa Rica, particularly of aquifers for her second book, tentatively titled Expanding the Social World Downwards. Recent publications include A Future History of Water (Duke University Press, 2019 --open access), Touching with Light (Science, Technology and Human Values, 2019), and Experimenting with Ethnography: A Companion to Analysis co-edited with Brit Ross Winthereik (Duke, 2021 --open access).

CANCELED - LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Reincarnations of Power Amongst the Mongols: From Möngke Tengri to the Śiditü Lama (February 8, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90783 90783-21673907@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 8, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Note: The talk by Sangseraima Ujeed, originally scheduled for February 8, 2022, will be rescheduled for a different date.

To date, the historical Tibeto-Mongolian symbiosis has been analyzed from the perspective of Tibeto-centric or China-centric political histories. In this talk, Dr. Ujeed reexamines the religio-cultural developments of Buddhism and Buddhist identity amongst the Mongols from the Mongol Empire through to the Qing period. As well as revisiting well-known religio-historical works, her main case studies are extracted from newly obtained Mongolian and Tibetan language Buddhist biographies, religious histories, and records of received teachings from the early modern period. Collectively, these case studies will demonstrate how the Mongols engagement with Tibetan Buddhism was fundamental for the dissemination and development of the wider Tibetan Buddhist tradition far beyond the realms on the steppe.

Sangseraima Ujeed, Assistant Professor of Tibetan Buddhism, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, received her MSt and DPhil degrees in Oriental Studies from the Department of Tibetan and Himalayan Studies, Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Oxford. Her main research focus is the trans-national, trans-regional, and cross-cultural aspects of Buddhism, lineage, translation, monastic and reincarnation networks, and identity in Tibet and Mongolia in the Early Modern period, with a particular emphasis on the contributions made by ethnically Mongolian monk scholars.

Two Spectacles, Two Crowds: A Dialogue on Zhang Yimou’s Olympic Ceremonies, 2008 and 2022 (February 8, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91972 91972-21684709@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 8, 2022 12:00pm

Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Note: The talk by Sangseraima Ujeed, originally scheduled for February 8, 2022, will be rescheduled for a different date.

Beijing’s 2008 Olympic Opening Ceremonies still boast the largest live audience in history: a TV crowd of some 2 billion people. This also makes the event one of the most widely misunderstood pieces of political theater in our time. Drawing from his shifting career as international laureate and state artist, director Zhang Yimou put together a double act for a double audience. In this discussion with Ann Lin, LRCCS Director, Dr. Osgood will discuss the legacy of Zhang Yimou’s historic show and the significance of its 2022 sequel.

Registration for this Zoom webinar is here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_PmIUlkESQLKdLgqTFwregQ

Miles Osgood is a Lecturer at Stanford University whose research focuses on the intersections between international sports, world literature, and the arts. His work on the Olympics has appeared in The Washington Post, n+1, and Public Books, with an article forthcoming in Modernism/modernity. He is currently writing a book about the Cultural Olympiad of 1968 in Mexico City, provisionally titled The Artist’s Torch. His recent article about the 2008 Olympics Opening Ceremony appeared in Slate: https://slate.com/culture/2022/02/2008-beijing-olympics-opening-ceremony-zhang-yimou-meaning.html

Co-sponsored by the Department of Sociology.

In the past ten years, China has rapidly emerged as South Korea’s most important economic partner. With the surge of goods and resources between the two countries, large waves of Korean migrants have opened small ethnic firms in Beijing’s Koreatown, turning a once barren wasteland into one of the largest Korean enclaves in the world. The Cost of Belonging: An Ethnography of Solidarity and Mobility in Beijing’s Koreatown is an in-depth ethnographic study that investigates how Korean Chinese cultural brokers, South Korean entrepreneurs, and South Korean expats negotiate their class and ethnic identities in their everyday lives in the enclave.

The book engages with the growing literature on diasporic Koreans who have started to form stronger transnational ties with South Korea following the government’s efforts to build a more global Korean polity as a strategy to galvanize its faltering economy in the late 1990s. It diverges from past studies of the Korean diaspora, however, by stressing the role of corporate interests and multinational firms in shaping not only inequality on a global scale, but also notions of ethnic belonging in overseas communities. The book argues that the power of the chaebol extends far beyond shaping labor relations and income inequality. South Korean conglomerates are powerful precisely because they shape spaces of interaction, and have privileged access to the moral and cultural resources that mold how Koreans view and negotiate their identities. Along these lines, The Cost of Belonging demonstrates the persisting impact that physical spaces have in shaping the social and economic lives of migrants in this global era.

Sharon J. Yoon is Assistant Professor of Korean Studies at the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies in the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame. She received her Ph.D. in sociology from Princeton University and is an ethnographer who has conducted in-depth fieldwork in Korean diasporic communities in Seoul, Beijing, and Osaka. Prior to joining the faculty at Notre Dame, Yoon was a Korea Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at the James Joo-Jin Kim Center for Korean Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, a Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences Postdoctoral Fellow at the Graduate School of Human Sciences at Osaka University, and an assistant professor in the Department of Korean Studies at the Graduate School of International Studies at Ewha Womans University in Seoul. Her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the Blakemore-Freeman Foundation, and her work has been published with the International Journal of Sociology, Korea Observer, Korean Journal of Sociology, Journal of Contemporary Asia, and Politics and Society. In addition to her academic research, she has worked with think-tanks such as the Korea Economic Institute and the Asan Institute for Policy Studies, as well as local grassroots organizations in Asia.

Racial justice begins with anti-racism. Anti-racism is the active process of identifying and eliminating racism by changing systems, organizational structures, policies, practices, and attitudes so that power is redistributed and shared equitably (University of Calgary). This peer-led teach-in will engage analytical frameworks for examining systemic cultural, social, economic, and political forces in the community along with individual reflection. Our hope is to raise critical consciousness, understand the opportunity for actions, and how our resources can be distributed. This Teach-In will be facilitated by Dillon Alexandro Cathro.

Healing Identity-Based Trauma (February 8, 2022 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90389 90389-21670550@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 8, 2022 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Many discussions under the umbrella of diversity, equity, and inclusion focus on what we can do moving forward, without holding sufficient space to deal with the wounds and potentially trauma that inequality, oppression, and marginalization can cause. In the belief that healing is a form of social justice, this session focuses on strategies individuals and communities can use to heal from identity-based trauma. This training is being developed and facilitated by EQuity.
Learning Objectives:

Participants will define what is a microaggression and explore the emotional impact of identity-based microaggressions
Participants will actively explore and apply a four-step healing process for addressing identity-based trauma

Campus Compact’s National Webinar series returns for 2021-2022 with more to support and inspire you.

Colleges and universities are often places where students critically examine and develop greater understanding around a wide range of identities: race, ethnicity, gender, spiritual, political, nationality, and many others. We develop courses, programs and support networks that allow students to experiment, explore, and develop greater understanding of how individual identities, and how systems of oppression and power and privilege afforded certain identities, impact our society.

Join Lauren Etchells, Alexandra Koch and Thomas Schnaubelt of the Haas Center for Public Service at Stanford University for a discussion on what “civic identity” is, how it is formed, and how it intersects with our identities.

Dreams of Archives Unfolded: Absence and Caribbean Life Writing (February 10, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90511 90511-21671207@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 10, 2022 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Panelists:
- Author: Jocelyn Fenton Stitt, Division Chair of Social Sciences, Associate Professor of Women's Studies, St. Catherine University; past Program Director of Faculty Research Development at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG), University of Michigan
- Aliyah Khan, Associate Professor of English Literature and Languages & Afroamerican and African Studies; Director of the Global Islamic Studies Center, International Institute, University of Michigan
- Supriya Nair, Professor of English Language and Literature, University of Michigan

Description:
The first book on pan-Caribbean life writing, Dreams of Archives Unfolded (Rutgers University Press, 2021) by Jocelyn Fenton Stitt reveals the innovative formal practices used to write about historical absences within contemporary personal narratives. Although the premier genres of writing postcoloniality in the Caribbean have been understood to be fiction and poetry, established figures such as Erna Brodber, Maryse Condé, Lorna Goodison, Edwidge Danticat, Saidiya Hartmann, Ruth Behar, and Dionne Brand and emerging writers such as Yvonne Shorter Brown, and Gaiutra Bahadur use life writing to question the relationship between the past and the present. Stitt theorizes that the remarkable flowering of life writing by Caribbean women since 2000 is not an imitation of the “memoir boom” in North America and Europe; instead, it marks a different use of the genre born out of encountering gendered absences in archives and ancestral memory that cannot be filled with more research. Dreams of Archives makes a significant contribution to studies of Caribbean literature by demonstrating that women’s autobiographical narratives published in the past twenty years are feminist epistemological projects that rework Caribbean studies’ longstanding commitment to creating counter-archives.

This event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works, New Questions series, which spotlights recent publications by faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Change It Up!© brings bystander intervention skills to students for the purpose of building supportive and respectful communities. Change It Up! is based on a nationally recognized five-step bystander intervention model that develops students’ skills and confidence when intervening in situations that negatively impact campus climate. This workshop explores how students’ identities and experiences impact their interactions inside and outside of the classroom. Through interactive theater, students apply the five steps to real-life scenarios and have an opportunity to practice and discuss how they can leverage these skills within their campus communities.
Learning Objectives:

Gain an understanding of what it means to be a bystander and factors that influence intervention
Gain multiple strategies to intervene and disrupt harm, such as microaggressions, bias incidents, stereotyping, sexual harassment, etc.
Act as an ally and educator, especially when you hold privilege and power and witness harm to those who do not hold privilege and power
Learn how to receive and respond to feedback about harm you caused, even if unintentional

CSAS Lecture | Market Futures: On Capital and Resistance in India Adda, Davos (February 11, 2022 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86115 86115-21631586@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 11, 2022 4:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

Please register in advance for this Zoom event. Registration is here: https://myumi.ch/1nnA8

The spectacular assembly of the global elite at the World Economic Forum, Davos is a brief moment when the powerful networks of capital become visible. It is here we witness the “India Adda”, an investment pavilion where India performs its cultural difference—adda, a place or assembly of people—as a modern, investor-friendly India, albeit an India rooted in tradition. Taking Adda, Davos as a global theatre of commerce, I address the shifting state-capital power dynamics in post-liberalization India. I specifically focus on how the language of anti-colonial resistance came to be incorporated in the service of Indian capital in the world of free markets.

Ravinder Kaur is a historian of contemporary India. She is Associate Professor of Modern South Asian Studies at the University of Copenhagen. Her most recent work is “Brand New Nation: Capitalist Dreams and Nationalist Designs in Twenty-First-Century India” (Stanford University Press, 2020 and Harper Collins, 2021).
