The first iteration of DAAS 498-"in action" seminar, “Reconstructing James Baldwin’s Legacy in the Digital Now,” presents a final project symposium! On Tuesday, December 7th from 2:30pm-4pm students will feature original work with a commentary by Baldwin scholar, Associate Professor and Director of Africana Studies, Ernest Gibson III of Auburn University.

This event brings the creativity and complexity of Baldwin's thought into the 21-st century. The course and presentations are based on the new University of Michigan Library digital collection that documents the famous Black queer writer's beloved house in St. Paul-de-Vence, France, "Chez Baldwin." The "Chez Baldwin" digital collection is the brainchild of Professor Magdalena J. Zaborowska of the Department of Afro-American Studies and American Culture and was created in collaboration with University of Michigan students, colleagues, and staff.

EIHS Symposium: Radical Futures Through Indigenous Political Thought (January 28, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85510 85510-21626797@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 28, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Format: This is a virtual event that will take place via Zoom webinar. Open to the general public. Please register here: https://myumi.ch/9P6Xd

Description: Who gets to have futures? Who gets to imagine futures? Indigenous political activists and Indigenous studies scholars have turned these questions on their head. Indigenous peoples have too often been framed through the past. What would it mean to recognize their centrality to visions of futurity? Nowhere, perhaps, is this question more urgent than in the face of climate change and ecological disaster. Indigenous communities’ perspectives on sustainability offer critical methods and insights for thinking about our collective futures. This panel explores the contributions of Indigenous knowledge, Indigenous sciences, and Indigenous political thought to the making of just futures for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples alike.

Panelists:
• Rebecca D. Hardin (Associate Professor, School of Environment and Sustainability, University of Michigan)
• Ana María León (Assistant Professor, History of Art, University of Michigan)
• David Myer Temin (Assistant Professor, Political Science, University of Michigan)
• Kyle Whyte (George Willis Pack Professor of Environment and Sustainability, University of Michigan)
• Mrinalini Sinha (moderator; Alice Freeman Palmer Professor of History, University of Michigan)

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

Organized By: Aerospace Engineering

Speaker: Dr. Nathan Falkiewicz

MIT Lincoln Laboratory operates a number of research aircraft through its Flight Test Facility, including two aircraft as part of a long-running program with the US Air Force. Due to various factors, the current platforms (a Gulfstream II and an HU-25) are planned to be replaced by two Gulfstream IV business jets. As such, MIT Lincoln Laboratory has been undergoing an extensive engineering design and analysis effort to transform these two aircraft from their business jet configurations into research test beds to support the needs of the program. A major aspect of the modification is the addition of hard points for wing stores carriage. As such, accurate flutter prediction is of significant importance to ensure safe operation of the aircraft over a large variety of wing store configurations. The talk will begin with an overview of the program and associated challenges. A detailed discussion of the flutter work will be provided, including: comparison of flutter results using panel method and CFD- based aerodynamics, CFD-based reduced-order flutter modeling discussion and results, and comparison against flight flutter test data. The talk will conclude with a summary and the next steps in the analysis and certification efforts.

Data is for everyone! Wait... data are for everyone? Either way, Love Data Week 2022 is about how different folks use data. If you haven't participated before, Love Data Week is the international celebration of data. This year we're focused on the people side of data. What does data look like in different disciplines? How about biases in data... who is "in" the data and who is invisible?

We invite you to an online birthday party for Frederick Douglass, who escaped slavery to become an influential abolitionist, author, and orator. Although Douglass was born into bondage, and never knew his birth date, he chose to celebrate every year on February 14th. Let's honor him by celebrating and preserving Black history together.

We'll start with a keynote address by Su’ad Abdul Khabeer (http://www.suadabdulkhabeer.com/), and then you can drop in to participate:

* Virtual transcription session: transcribe the papers of the Colored Conventions (https://coloredconventions.org/) — documents from state and national conventions of Black activists in the 19th century
* Digital arts and crafts session: make valentines for Black women activists

How about biases in data... who is "in" the data and who is invisible?

CSAS Transnational Conference | In and Out of South Asia: Race, Capitalism, and Mobility (February 25, 2022 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/92590 92590-21692667@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 25, 2022 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

For full conference details see: https://myumi.ch/XVyAq

*How do ethnic, caste, and racial hierarchies in South Asia interact with those elsewhere as people, ideas, and goods move in and out?* *How are flows and networks of capital reconfigured within existing and new hierarchies of im/mobility?* *How might a focus on things/people/ideas that move “in and out” help us conceptualize new ways of imagining and engaging South Asia?*

Register for this Zoom event here: https://myumi.ch/Ek8Ge

These questions urge us to consider mobility and immobility anew. Global pandemics, surveillance regimes, and border fences engender old and new forms of captivity and incarceration throughout South Asia. At the same time analytical and conceptual frames for studying the region have sought to break out of the gilded cage of methodological nationalism and embrace regional and transregional spatial units, such as the recent turn towards Inter Asia, Africa-Asia, and the Indian Ocean. A rich and productive scholarship has emerged from this transregional turn, providing new vocabularies for understanding polity, economy, and sociality in South Asia and beyond.

This conference brings together a set of scholars and practitioners who are thinking across scale and time to explore the particular tension between mobility and immobility in shaping conceptual and methodological itineraries in and out of South Asia. Participants explore the histories and futures of race, caste, and capitalism in South Asia and beyond.

Conference Format:

In and Out of South Asia: Race, Capitalism, and Mobility will function in a new and innovative conference format. Our panelists have submitted their video presentations for pre-conference circulation. Their submissions can be accessed via this link: https://myumi.ch/M9kWR

We invite the audience to view these submissions in advance of the conference itself. On February 25-26, 2022, faculty discussants will provide mini-keynote opening and closing remarks and comments on the presentations. Audience members will then be invited to ask questions and engage with the panel.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

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

Format: This lecture is presented in hybrid format: in-person in 1014 Tisch Hall and virtual via Zoom webinar (register: https://myumi.ch/bRV1e).

Description: The humanities have been in a state of “permanent crisis,” or so it seems. Yet the modern humanities were themselves conceived as a bulwark against a crisis of meaning and value. The current pandemic crisis has raised anew questions about the purpose of the humanities and what value they provide to society. Our multidisciplinary panel will engage with the question of the role of the humanities in relation to society. What is the role of engaged scholarship in this context? How can it avoid the mere instrumentalization of complex artifacts and problematics? The panelists will address these questions and more in the context of their own work.

Panelists:
• Peter Blackmer (Assistant Professor, Africology and African American Studies, Eastern Michigan University)
• Amal Hassan Fadlalla (Professor; Afroamerican and African Studies, Anthropology, Women's and Gender Studies; University of Michigan)
• Ricky Punzalan (Associate Professor of Information, School of Information, University of Michigan)
• Anna Bonnell Freidin (moderator; Assistant Professor, History, University of Michigan)

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

From the creation of the Alex Manoogian Chair in Modern Armenian History in 1981 to the catastrophic defeat of the Armenian Republic in the second Nagorno-Karabakh war, scholars at the University of Michigan have been in the vanguard of examining and attempting to understand the experiences of Armenians in modern times. When the chair was established, Armenia was a small Soviet republic, and half of the world's Armenians lived in scattered diasporic communities. Within a decade the Soviet empire had disintegrated, and Armenia became an independent state beset by hostile neighbors. The republic survived despite losses of population and economic distress. A thriving civil society defied the rule of oligarchs and self-serving politicians, and in 2018 crowds marched to the capital to make a democratic revolution. Just as they rebounded from genocide more than 100 years ago, Armenians once again must deal with loss and find a path to renewal.

Examining the recent past of Armenians in the homeland and in the diaspora, three Manoogian chairholders – Ronald Grigor Suny, Gerard Libaridian, and Hakem Al-Rustom – will present short talks on the turbulent events of the last four decades.

"A Republic, If You Can Keep It”
Gerard Libaridian, Professor Emeritus; former Alex Manoogian Professor in Modern Armenian History (2001-12), University of Michigan

“The Making of Modern Armenia: From Soviet Republic to Precarious Present”
Ronald Grigor Suny, William H. Sewell Jr Distinguished University Professor of History; former Alex Manoogian Professor in Modern Armenian History (1981-97), University of Michigan

“Living in the Future of the Armenian Catastrophe”
Hakem Al-Rustom, Alex Manoogian Professor of Modern Armenian History, University of Michigan

The evening will conclude with a musical offering by award-winning flutist, artistic director, and author Sato Moughalian and pianist and composer Thomas Jennings. The program includes arrangements of pieces by composer and ethnomusicologist Grikor Mirzaian Suni (1876-1939), grandfather of Ronald Grigor Suny.

*Cosponsored by Perspectives Ensemble and the Jarvis & Constance Family Foundation's Danièle Doctorow Prize; Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies; Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.*

Over the last fifty years, the historical profession has undergone a profound transformation. Animated by political changes and new theories from outside the discipline, historians have repeatedly broadened the scope of their inquiries and “turned” to culture, language, emotions, and other novel categories for understanding the past. The field of Russian/Soviet history, born in the polarized era of the Cold War, has adapted and responded to each of these successive turns.

This one-day conference offers an overview of the development of the Russian/Soviet history field through critical engagement with some of the most original and methodologically exciting turning points. Each panel centers on a different thematic area or methodological approach, with a key text suggested for discussion. The conference schedule roughly follows the chronological trajectory of Ronald G. Suny’s oeuvre: from his earliest studies on the social history of the October Revolution, through his engagement with the cultural turn of the 1980s-90s and focus on non-Russian nationalities within the USSR, and finally to more recent work on empire and affect. Panelists will provide an assessment of Suny’s contributions in these areas, as well as personal reflections on how these historiographic turns have influenced their own lives and intellectual projects.

Building Bridges over Walls: Midwestern Translation Networks and Eastern European Literatures (March 18, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/92976 92976-21698653@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 18, 2022 10:00am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Visiting speakers: Clare Cavanagh (Northwestern), Yakov Klots (Hunter College), Joanna Trzeciak (Kent State) and Russell Scott Valentino (Indiana)

Local speakers: Herb Eagle (UM Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures), Jindřich Toman (UM Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures), Piotr Westwalewicz (UM Lecturer in Slavic Languages and Literatures)

Since the early 1960s and continuing to this day, if an American is reading a book by a contemporary Central European writer, chances are extremely good that the book was translated and/or published at one of a small handful of universities in the Upper Midwest. Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, and Northwestern, among a few others, have long served conspicuously as conduits for writers living in a kind of historical—and, for much of the twentieth century, political—frontier. It is through these institutions that many such writers have entered the world literary marketplace. Though rarely remarked, this concentration of activity has deep demographic, cultural, and geopolitical roots, tying the middle of one continent to the middle of another and providing a durable link between immigrant communities and their points of origination.

This interdisciplinary seminar retraces the institutional history of midwestern translation networks for Eastern European literature. The day’s activities, which are intended both for our scholarly community and the general public, will include a panel on Ann Arbor’s conspicuous role as a hub of Eastern European literature; an online and in-person exhibit of archival and print materials; an expert panel on tamizdat (banned literature published abroad and often smuggled back into its country of origin); an expert panel on the present and future of globalizing Eastern European and Central Asian literature; and a celebratory reading of poetry in translation.

Program:
10-10:45: "Samizdat from a Basement in Ann Arbor": Piotr Westwalewicz, Herbert Eagle, Jindrich Toman

11-11:45: Presentation of Building Bridges Over Walls Exhibit (doctoral students Azhar Dyussekenova, Samantha Farmer, Katie Kasperian, and Tanya Silverman, Slavic Languages and Literatures, U-M; and Dylan Ogden, Comparative Literature, U-M)

12-1: Tamizdat and the Cold War: Yakov Klots (Hunter College, The Tamizdat Project) and Jessie Labov (Central European University)

2-3: Translation Networks Today: Russell Scott Valentino (Indiana University, Slavica Publishers) and Joanna Trzeciak (Kent State University)

3:15-4:15: "Listening against Silence": A Reading of Literature in Translation with Clare Cavanagh (Northwestern University)

This is an in-person event for U-M students, faculty, and staff only; all sessions will also be livestreamed on Zoom.

Registration for in-person attendance is required. Please RSVP here by March 15: https://forms.gle/8hJFgWfxBFo1oQWA8

Location: Biological Sciences Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of Michigan presents the 17th Annual Early Career Scientists Symposium: Racial Justice and Anti-Racist Research in EEB. We are delighted to announce that our featured speaker, Steward Pickett, distinguished urban ecologist from the Cary Institute and this year’s eminent ecologist of the Ecological Society of America, will open the symposium. A panel discussion led by Nicholas Reo, Associate Professor of Native American Studies at Dartmouth will bring the symposium to its conclusion.

Eight early career scholars who are transforming our discipline through anti-racist and justice-centered research that pushes our understanding of the links between EEB research and society, will present their perspectives in many areas of EEB, such as Global Environmental Change, Genomics and Population Genetics, Urban Ecology and Evolution, Environmental History, STEM Education, Marine Ecology, Water Security, Theoretical Ecology and Evolution, Global Food Systems, and Disease Ecology. The goal of this symposium is to provide a space for the EEB community to think imaginatively about the future of our discipline.

The symposium will begin on Saturday, March 19, 2022 (2 - 6 pm EDT) in-person and live-streamed, followed by three consecutive virtual Fridays from March 25– April 8, 2022 (noon - 2 pm EDT). Two to three participants will present each Friday, followed by a moderated discussion.

**ALL TIMES ARE EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)**

While the symposium presents the work of rising early career scientists, it is open to all (i.e., you don’t have to be in your early career to attend).

REGISTRATION is required for in person and Zoom entry. You will be provided with the link and passcode upon registration. https://myumi.ch/ECSSregister

Imaginative Activism of Digital Citizens Symposium (March 24, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90657 90657-21672078@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 24, 2022 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

This symposium is a collaboration between the University of Michigan’s professor of Art & Design and Digital Studies Irina Aristarkhova and UCLA’s Slavist and curator Dr. Sasha Razor. It is focused on events that took place during the summer of 2020 in Belarus, bringing them into a broader discussion around digital citizenship, activism, and the new emerging scholarship. The symposium aims to introduce new concepts and approaches to imaginative activism, grounded in critical digital studies, feminist and new media theory, digital curation, contemporary art history, and information studies, in addition to the study of democracy and the Eastern European region.

Description: In the summer of 2020, many countries experienced protests against police violence and demanded democratic social change. A small country in Eastern Europe - Belarus - became one of the centers of global activism. Activists, IT professionals, artists, designers and neighbors teamed up to coordinate, connect, and amplify their work on digital platforms, such as Telegram, Instagram and Youtube, to overthrow the dictatorial regime. They created visual representation and identity of a social movement that now exists largely in digital formats and often made for digital platforms that themselves could be compromised and used against them. What is the role of scholars and librarians who study citizen activism, contemporary art and digital culture? What kind of new questions and solutions are posed by today’s digital citizens? Reimagining what these tools enable and how they can be used, and researching new forms of “imaginative activism,” are the primary goals of this interdisciplinary symposium and the digital exhibition curated by Sasha Razor at Michigan Libraries.

EIHS Symposium: Whither Critical Disaster Studies? (March 25, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/85519 85519-21626806@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 25, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

Format: This event is presented in hybrid format: in-person in 1014 Tisch Hall and virtual via Zoom webinar (register: https://myumi.ch/M9zd4).

Description: The interdisciplinary field of critical disaster studies both builds on and expands long-standing work on disasters in a variety of disciplines. Its critical contribution lies in raising several first-order questions that have often been taken for granted: Why are some things defined as disasters and others are not? What is the assumed temporality in naming something as a disaster? How are disasters represented and experienced? How do particular understandings of disasters impact post-disaster recoveries? Our multi-disciplinary panel will explore these questions and more as each panelist engages the field from the perspective of their area of specialization.

Panelists:
• Matthew Ghazarian (Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow, Center for Armenian Studies, University of Michigan)
• Susan Scott Parrish (Professor; English Language and Literature, University of Michigan)
• Dean Yang (Professor of Public Policy and Economics, Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan)
• Melanie Tanielian (moderator; Associate Professor, History, University of Michigan)

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

SPEAKER BIOS:

David Malebranche, MD, MPH, is a board-certified internal medicine physician with expertise in sexual health and HIV/STI prevention and treatment. He is a former Associate Professor of Medicine with both Emory School of Medicine and Morehouse School of Medicine. He is also a public health official, activist, and educator who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, and has appeared in the YouTube series “Revolutionary Health” as part of The Counter Narrative Project and also on the #AskTheHIVDoc video series. Dr. Malebranche has served as faculty for several continuous medical education (CME) series for Prime Inc., Clinical Care Options, Medscape and others, training health care professionals and lay communities on topics such as sexual health, racial inequities in medicine, and HIV/STI prevention and treatment. Dr. Malebranche’s writings and research have been published in JAMA, the Annals of Internal Medicine, the American Journal of Public Health, and Lancet. He has also been featured on the “Greater than COVID” campaign with the Kaiser Family Foundation and has written several articles on HIV treatment education at thebody.com. In 2015, he penned a memoir entitled “Standing on His Shoulders,” a memoir about lessons learned from his relationship with his father, which is available on Amazon.

Gregorio (Greg) Millett is a Vice President at amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research, and the Director of amfAR’s Public Policy Office. Mr. Millett, a former senior scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also worked as a Senior Policy Advisor in the White House Office of National AIDS Policy where he helped author President Obama’s original National HIV/AIDS Strategy and worked to support the Strategy’s implementation across the federal government. Mr. Millett has published quantitative research studies in top medical, public health and policy journals, including JAMA, Lancet, Health Affairs, and AJPH; and his work has received over 7500 citations to date in the scientific literature. Mr. Millett is a member of several domestic and global scientific committees, and he has worked and published with Dr. Anthony Fauci. In addition, he has been the recipient of scientific profiles in The Washington Post, Scientific American, The Lancet and other media. Recently, Mr. Millett’s COVID-19 research provided the first national glimpse of the pandemic’s impact on Black and Latinx communities, and these research findings have been quoted by Members of Congress during Capitol Hill hearings, used as an underpinning for proposed legislation, and reported widely across domestic and global print and televised media. In 2020, Mr. Millett was the opening plenary speaker for the International AIDS Conference. He is an alumnus of Dartmouth College and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

About John Lamont Peterson:
Dr. John Lamont Peterson (1949-2021) was a leading figure in early HIV/AIDS research and a mentor to many Black behavioral and social scientists. He earned his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Michigan in 1974. After teaching at Claremont’s McKenna College and Graduate School in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and realizing the growing impact of the early AIDS epidemic on African American men, Dr. Peterson joined the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) at the University of California, San Francisco, where he served as a Research Scientist from 1986 to 1993. In 1994 he joined Georgia State University’s Department of Psychology, first as an associate professor, then as a full professor from 2003 until his retirement in 2015. Over the course of his career, he contributed to understanding the predictors of HIV/AIDS risk reduction, the effects of behavioral interventions to reduce this risk behavior, and the social determinants of racial disparities in HIV infection, primarily among Black men who have sex with men. Dr. Peterson’s mentorship to many laid the foundation for the ever-expanding field of HIV research and advocacy. This event is named in his honor.

Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Convened by U-M Public Design Corps, "Size Up" is a full-day experimental symposium dedicated to exploring the multiplicity of activities and inquiries conceived to yield positive change across the design disciplines. Once set against the backdrop of social transition, political reckoning, and ecological crisis, social practice progressively gained momentum among practitioners seeking a less client-dependent, capital-intensive approach to work and production. More recently, however, a growing self-awareness around the contradictions of institutionally sanctioned, solutionist rhetoric and the challenge of arriving at a common good has driven the category into a state of reflection, if not crisis. This symposium brings together leading researchers, practitioners, and scholars to engage in dialogue around ways to meaningfully intervene. Assembling current and emergent strains of thinking in social practice, participants will address and disentangle conundrums around communality, universalism, pluralism, liberal democracy, and social justice. Through a comparative lens, the symposium will critically explore social design’s capacities to deliver transformative outcomes at a decisive scale.

Equal parts scholarly gathering and action-based happening, "Size Up" will directly examine the tools and processes to sponsor more flexible, horizontal and engaging modes of collective participation through a series of concordant workshops. "Size Up" will feature Detroit artist/activist-led workshops, live music, and a moderated panel discussion between Taubman faculty and leading experts in Public Interest Design from around the globe.

This symposium continues the tradition of honoring the humanitarian work of Raoul Wallenberg, a Taubman College alumnus distinguished for his courageous actions in German-occupied Hungary during World War II.

Full conference details, including schedule: https://myumi.ch/kyrW1

Traders are highly desirable cosmopolitan subjects yet their mobility, extensive spatial reach, and myriad networks of commodity movement frustrate the nation-state. As the Pakistani state aspires to forge relationships anew with its neighbors, particularly with China, new trading activities have emerged with these countries, and beyond, that create their own (asymmetrical) dependencies between populations and states. Such cross border, indeed transregional, connections complicate the relationship between economy and sovereignty. The ‘‘licit’’ and ‘‘illicit’’ cross-border flow of commodities continue to comprise the Pakistani state’s ability to control borders and exercises control in the realm of the economy. The traditional hawala networks of money transactions that are intimately entwined with trading networks have successfully evaded the law and transparency regulations. In the 11th UM-Pakistan Conference, we will explore the relationship between trading practices, economy, and sovereignty with a focus on Pakistan.

In this conference, we ask the following questions but are not limited to these: How can we understand trading networks that straddle over geographic, cultural, nation-state frontiers, and geographical barriers? How do trade networks shape mobility, economies and sovereignty in a globalized world? What role do traders play in facilitating and shaping state-to-state contact, yet frustrating the same attempts through ‘‘illicit’’ cross border movements? How do traders shape and organize markets above and below the state? Trading in high-risk areas demands protection both from the state and nonstate actors. How is the protection negotiated and enforced, and what sorts of networks are further drawn into the trading world to ensure peaceful business transactions? What kind of economic strategies are pursued by traders in volatile regions and in the conditions of increasing precarity? How can we conceptualize ‘‘smuggling’’ and other “illicit” trading activities with regard to the state and the “formal” and “informal” economy?

Moreover, we ask: How do traders perceive and shape the economy through (mis)trust, good life and work, and social investments? How do trade and economy become an object of (moral) critique and a matter of political action and mobilization? What kind of politics, sensibilities, and moralities emerge from trading practices and bazaars? How are the social and the political negotiated in the realm of the economy? How do traders shape the world economy and bazaars and in what ways do trading practices, nationalist imaginations, and politics intersect? How do traders retain older forms of mobility and associations and yet create new ones? What skills and repertoire are required of traders to negotiate with states and different actors across cultural and regional boundaries? How do trading networks shape and are being shaped by kinship, religiosity, and identity, etc.?

Yet, increasingly complex analytical pipelines working with poorly understood heterogeneous data sets can give rise to harms in many ways. Furthermore, there could be deleterious systemic effects such as the magnification of disinformation or surveillance capitalism. There has been tremendous recent interest in understanding and managing these concerns.
The Mini-Symposium is a part of the Future Leaders Summit two day event and is open to the public. Below is the event schedule:

SPEAKER BIOS:

David Malebranche, MD, MPH, is a board-certified internal medicine physician with expertise in sexual health and HIV/STI prevention and treatment. He is a former Associate Professor of Medicine with both Emory School of Medicine and Morehouse School of Medicine. He is also a public health official, activist, and educator who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, and has appeared in the YouTube series “Revolutionary Health” as part of The Counter Narrative Project and also on the #AskTheHIVDoc video series. Dr. Malebranche has served as faculty for several continuous medical education (CME) series for Prime Inc., Clinical Care Options, Medscape and others, training health care professionals and lay communities on topics such as sexual health, racial inequities in medicine, and HIV/STI prevention and treatment. Dr. Malebranche’s writings and research have been published in JAMA, the Annals of Internal Medicine, the American Journal of Public Health, and Lancet. He has also been featured on the “Greater than COVID” campaign with the Kaiser Family Foundation and has written several articles on HIV treatment education at thebody.com. In 2015, he penned a memoir entitled “Standing on His Shoulders,” a memoir about lessons learned from his relationship with his father, which is available on Amazon.

Gregorio (Greg) Millett is a Vice President at amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research, and the Director of amfAR’s Public Policy Office. Mr. Millett, a former senior scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also worked as a Senior Policy Advisor in the White House Office of National AIDS Policy where he helped author President Obama’s original National HIV/AIDS Strategy and worked to support the Strategy’s implementation across the federal government. Mr. Millett has published quantitative research studies in top medical, public health and policy journals, including JAMA, Lancet, Health Affairs, and AJPH; and his work has received over 7500 citations to date in the scientific literature. Mr. Millett is a member of several domestic and global scientific committees, and he has worked and published with Dr. Anthony Fauci. In addition, he has been the recipient of scientific profiles in The Washington Post, Scientific American, The Lancet and other media. Recently, Mr. Millett’s COVID-19 research provided the first national glimpse of the pandemic’s impact on Black and Latinx communities, and these research findings have been quoted by Members of Congress during Capitol Hill hearings, used as an underpinning for proposed legislation, and reported widely across domestic and global print and televised media. In 2020, Mr. Millett was the opening plenary speaker for the International AIDS Conference. He is an alumnus of Dartmouth College and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

About John Lamont Peterson:
Dr. John Lamont Peterson (1949-2021) was a leading figure in early HIV/AIDS research and a mentor to many Black behavioral and social scientists. He earned his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Michigan in 1974. After teaching at Claremont’s McKenna College and Graduate School in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and realizing the growing impact of the early AIDS epidemic on African American men, Dr. Peterson joined the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) at the University of California, San Francisco, where he served as a Research Scientist from 1986 to 1993. In 1994 he joined Georgia State University’s Department of Psychology, first as an associate professor, then as a full professor from 2003 until his retirement in 2015. Over the course of his career, he contributed to understanding the predictors of HIV/AIDS risk reduction, the effects of behavioral interventions to reduce this risk behavior, and the social determinants of racial disparities in HIV infection, primarily among Black men who have sex with men. Dr. Peterson’s mentorship to many laid the foundation for the ever-expanding field of HIV research and advocacy. This event is named in his honor.

About SOAR:
SOAR is a two-year intensive academic and research mentoring experience that aims to prepare students for graduate education and eventual research careers in behavioral and social science research on HIV/AIDS, with a focus on sexual and gender minority communities. SOAR is funded by a five-year grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research (OBSSR). The program is administered out of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender, in collaboration with the School of Public Health, School of Nursing, School of Social Work, and College of Literature Science & the Arts.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Wallace House Center for Journalists

While the Russian invasion of Ukraine swiftly united NATO and western nations in condemning Putin, enacting sanctions and supplying defense weapons, there are growing cries for the U.S. and its NATO allies to do more militarily. Join Knight-Wallace journalists who have reported extensively from the region and a U-M policy expert as they examine Putin’s suppression of a free press, the call for direct military support, and the geopolitical, economic and humanitarian consequences of the growing conflict.

Elena Milashina is an award-winning senior investigative reporter for Novaya Gazeta, the acclaimed independent Russian news organization that recently ceased publication in response to threats of closure and imprisonment from the Putin regime. Simon Ostrovsky is a video journalist and filmmaker who reports for PBS NewsHour and The New York Times. Ronald Suny is a professor of history and political science at U-M and a senior researcher at the National Research University-Higher School of Economics in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Wallace House Director, Lynette Clemetson, will lead this discussion.

ABOUT THE KEYNOTE:

"Classical Reception and Oblique Classicisms"
Laura Jansen (University of Bristol)

More than anything else, Classical Reception has become the study of connectivity. The subfield is predominantly preoccupied with how modernity establishes its dialogical connections with the ancient Mediterranean world, or how this world continues to make a significant impact on our present. Yet certain ideas underpin this practice. For a reception exercise to be worth pursuing (even publishable), the links between antiquity and modernity should be largely frontal and the classical presences explored be demonstrably substantial. Indeed, reception seems to have become a study of relevance, driven by closely plotted links and sizeable returns. But what about the case of modern authors for whom the classical lives alongside but not in their work? What about authors for whom the classical is an alluring yet not necessarily weighty presence, and for whom the connective thread of influence in their work seems to exist at breaking point? Is this something worth pursuing? And, if so, how capacious is the current paradigm to respond to such instances of 'oblique' and/or 'tangent' classicisms? This lecture will consider these questions, drawing attention to new lines of investigation, some of which no longer appear to suit the premises and aims of Reception as we know it.

This conference will be hybrid. Join the Zoom meeting here: https://myumi.ch/1nMed

Historians have long proposed that property is as much about relationships between people as it is about the ownership of “things.” It is about both belonging, and belongings. Property offers a window onto contestations over power, social relations, resources, identity and political imagination. Histories of property in Asia and Africa, in particular, are intertwined with histories of colonial expansion, the emergence of new forms of state power, the creation of new categories/taxonomies of governance, the appropriation of indigenous lands, the reordering of social relations, and new or reworked imaginaries of property

The purpose of this interdisciplinary conference, “Property and Being under Colonial Conditions in Asia and Africa,” is to explore how comparing intellectual, cultural, social, political-economic, and legal histories of property from African and Asian colonial contexts may help us rethink ideas about land, ownership, dispossession, rights, credit, subjectivities, and political imaginations. Participants will engage with the historically sedimented entanglements of colonial policy and indigenous practices, developmentalist desires, and cultural and climatic change. Conversations across these regions may thus enable new understandings of property histories.

Fluid Thinking: Water Justice in a Changing Climate (June 8, 2022 8:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/94791 94791-21768316@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, June 8, 2022 8:30am
Location: Matthaei Botanical Gardens
Organized By: Poverty Solutions

The study of water ethics and justice is inherently without boundaries; it moves among various connected disciplines, such as philosophy, law, history, engineering, and geography. This event brings together academic professionals, policy experts, other practitioners, and the general public to discuss this most pressing issue. The transdisciplinary nature of water justice requires study that intersects ethical, scientific, cultural, and justice-related themes and concerns which are reflected in the
presentations and discussions of this conference. Our opportune location at the US-Canada border lends itself to vibrant study of water ethics, justice, governance, and management in each respective country, as well as between them. Further, this event brings together professionals to discuss these water issues in the face of climate change and the implications for cross-border/ transboundary water governance; hence, the speakers are from Canada and the US (with the majority from the US-Canada border region in Michigan and southwestern Ontario).

Physics Graduate Summer Symposium | Unconventional Superconductivity from Flat Bands (June 9, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/95445 95445-21789935@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, June 9, 2022 12:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Department of Physics

In this talk, we study unconventional superconductivity in flat band systems, i.e. a system where the kinetic energy of an electron is almost a constant independent of electron momentum. We find that due to an emergent SU(2) symmetry, the ideal flat-band limit is exactly solvable, and the system shall have infinite many degenerate ground states. In a real system, energy bands are not infinitely flat, and the finite bandwidth lifts this infinite degeneracy, resulting in an unconventional superconductor. We will compare this superconductor with conventional (BCS) superconductors to demonstrate its unconventional features, such as diverging compressibility and pseudo-gap.

The University of Michigan and its partner, the Ann Arbor Branch of the NAACP, will host the University’s 2nd Annual Juneteenth Symposium. The theme is Celebrate, Educate, Inspire.

Celebrating one of the longest-running celebrations in the state of Michigan, the NAACP hosted annual Juneteenth celebration events since 1994. ln 2021, the University hosted the first campus-wide, five-day, virtual celebration of Juneteenth, and collaborated with the NAACP to march from Fuller Park to Wheeler Park and to share in a picnic and community outreach event. The 2021 Juneteenth Celebration was a tremendous success.

Our hope is to bring together the U-M and Ann Arbor communities virtually to underscore the importance of Juneteenth and to ensure that all students, staff, faculty, and residents feel a deep sense of belonging. We hope you can join us for our celebration, while we advance our educational mission as a university and seek to collaborate, enrich, and empower the community in a longstanding annual tradition to promote Black liberation and excellence.

The observed spacial distribution and shapes of galaxies encode a wealth of information about the evolution of our Universe and the fundamental physics governing it. In this talk, I will review a few ways in which data from galaxy surveys can be used to probe fundamental physics such as deviations from general relativity, the mass of neutrinos, and the nature of the dark sector. Methods I will review include weak gravitational lensing and galaxy clustering.

2022 Juneteenth Symposium Celebration (June 18, 2022 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/95334 95334-21789188@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, June 18, 2022 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI)

The University of Michigan and its partner, the Ann Arbor Branch of the NAACP, will host the University’s 2nd Annual Juneteenth Symposium. The theme is Celebrate, Educate, Inspire.

Celebrating one of the longest-running celebrations in the state of Michigan, the NAACP hosted annual Juneteenth celebration events since 1994. ln 2021, the University hosted the first campus-wide, five-day, virtual celebration of Juneteenth, and collaborated with the NAACP to march from Fuller Park to Wheeler Park and to share in a picnic and community outreach event. The 2021 Juneteenth Celebration was a tremendous success.

Our hope is to bring together the U-M and Ann Arbor communities virtually to underscore the importance of Juneteenth and to ensure that all students, staff, faculty, and residents feel a deep sense of belonging. We hope you can join us for our celebration, while we advance our educational mission as a university and seek to collaborate, enrich, and empower the community in a longstanding annual tradition to promote Black liberation and excellence.
