Organized By: CEW+

As part of the CEW+Inspire initiative, CEW+ holds mindful meditation sits virtually on Wednesdays at 12:15.

RSVP here to receive the Zoom link: https://myumi.ch/r8zv7

Mindfulness Meditation is a skill that can be learned and when practiced has the power to enhance a sense of wellbeing, focus, and interconnectedness. As we all continue to navigate uncertainty and challenges that are inherent in the act of being human, we benefit from and are grateful for diverse cultures and traditions across the globe. Collectively they have passed on a wide variety of contemplative practices that encourage reflection, silence, and centering into the present moment to help us cope and better respond. Engaging in contemplative practices support the individual, by cultivating a sense of awareness and well-being, and benefit society by enhancing one’s capacity to create connection and community, and to become an agent of positive social change. There are many forms of contemplative practices, including meditation. Mindfulness meditation is one form aimed to help focus our awareness on the present moment as it unfolds, moment to moment, without judgment. Research on mindfulness continues to find a wide range of benefits. In short, Mindfulness may be viewed as cognitive training that bolsters our ability to handle stress, poor mood, and threat. It also increases our capacity to focus our attention on what is most important to us and to be more compassionate to ourselves and to others.

On Wednesdays from 12:15 - 12:45 pm, we come together in community to practice this skill in an open and supportive virtual space. Whether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. Join this supportive community and experience the gift of present moment awareness.

Exhibition: Nov 12, 2021 - January 22, 2022
Public Opening and Award Ceremony: November 12, 2021
Organized by Stamps Gallery, Envision: The Michigan Artist Initiative is a new awards program designed to support the development of contemporary artists living and working in Michigan. This inaugural program recognizes the creativity, rigor, and innovation of Michigan-based artists and collaboratives — and honors their role in inspiring the next generations of artists in our state.
The call for work went out to artists across the state in March 2020. In July 2020, Envision jurors Carla Acevedo-Yates, Curator, MCA Chicago; Ken Aptekar (BFA '73), Artist; and Loring Randolph (BFA '04), Director, Frieze New York; gathered virtually to review the submissions.
After evaluating 259 submissions from across the state, the jurors selected five finalists to receive a group exhibition at Stamps Gallery.
On December 10, 2021, one finalist will be named the 2021 Envision Award recipient, receiving a cash prize.
The exhibition will tour to different venues in Michigan, including the Crooked Tree Art Center in Traverse City.

Memory is the sum of who we are. It is the bridge to our past and future. It takes a fleeting moment in our experience and allows it to last indefinitely. It stretches our consciousness over a lifetime and allows us to enjoy meaningful and fulfilling lives. Simply put, without memory, humanity as we know it could not exist. Yet, for something so essential and ubiquitous, we still know little about how it works. This talk will specifically focus on one type of memory, episodic memory, and how we can operationally define and study it using a computational or information processing approach. How does episodic memory change as we get older? What neurobiological mechanisms underlie age-related memory loss? Can we distinguish between normal age-related changes in cognition and changes related to Alzheimer’s disease? Finally, how we can use this circuit-based approach to studying cognition to better diagnose cognitive disorders?

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
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

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.

Organized by Stamps Gallery, Envision: The Michigan Artist Initiative is a new awards program designed to support the development of contemporary artists living and working in Michigan. This inaugural program recognizes the creativity, rigor, and innovation of Michigan-based artists and collaboratives — and honors their role in inspiring the next generations of artists in our state.
The call for work went out to artists across the state in March 2020. In July 2020, Envision jurors Carla Acevedo-Yates, Curator, MCA Chicago; Ken Aptekar (BFA '73), Artist; and Loring Randolph (BFA '04), Director, Frieze New York; gathered virtually to review the submissions.
After evaluating 259 submissions from across the state, the jurors selected five finalists to receive a group exhibition at Stamps Gallery.
On December 10, 2021, one finalist will be named the 2021 Envision Award recipient, receiving a cash prize.
The exhibition will tour to different venues in Michigan, including the Crooked Tree Art Center in Traverse City.

The Yellow Room is the "brilliantly yellow" living room of Tamulevich's house on Ann Arbor's Old West Side, where gang members meet monthly for musical brainstorming and mutual critique. Come and be a fly on the wall as the exchange of creative ideas flows freely! "To have any one of these songwriters perform at Trinity House is a real treat," says promoter Bill Keith. "To have them perform together is unbelievable." The Yellow Room Gang has been around for over 15 years now, with all the members coming up with new music all the while.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Psychology

The effects of physical activity and sleep on mental and physical well-being have long been studied. More recently, there has also been an effort to understand how one’s environment impacts daily health behaviors and related outcomes. However, much of this work has been limited to subjective measures and correlational data. The current study leverages data from a prospective cohort study of medical residents as they transition from medical school to internship to address these identified gaps. This talk will discuss findings regarding the effect of changes in specific neighborhood characteristics on physical activity and sleep outcomes, as well as future projects designed to expand upon this work and explore clinical outcomes.

Addressing nationalist extremism in North America: Policy tools & frameworks (January 10, 2022 11:45am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90647 90647-21672070@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 10, 2022 11:45am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: International Policy Center

Nationalist extremism poses mounting challenges around the world, including in North America. This web-based panel discussion will focus on the policy tools and frameworks available for countering nationalist extremism in Mexico, Canada and the United States. How have each country’s laws and security institutions evolved since 9/11 to deal with new nationalist threats? What are the limits of existing policy approaches and the key debates surrounding them?

This event will be the third in a series organized for the 2021-22 North American Colloquium convened jointly by the Autonomous National University of Mexico, University of Toronto, and University of Michigan. Two faculty members at the University of Michigan’s Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, John Ciorciari and Javed Ali, will host and moderate the event.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: The University of Michigan Medical School Program on Health, Spirituality and Religion

Sister Helen Prejean is known around the world for her tireless work against the death penalty. She has been instrumental in sparking national dialogue on capital punishment and in shaping the Catholic Church’s vigorous opposition to all executions.

Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in the 1930s, Sister Helen grew up in the segregated Jim Crow South. At the age of 18 she joined the Sisters of St. Joseph. She worked as a high school teacher and religious education director in New Orleans before moving into the St. Thomas Housing Project in the early ’80s.

In 1982, Sister Helen began corresponding with Patrick Sonnier, who had been sentenced to death for the murder of two teenagers. Two years later, when Patrick Sonnier was put to death in the electric chair, Sister Helen was there to witness his execution. In the following months, she became spiritual advisor to another death row inmate, Robert Lee Willie, who was to meet the same fate as Sonnier.

After witnessing these executions, Sister Helen realized that this lethal ritual would remain unchallenged unless its secrecy was stripped away, and so she sat down and wrote a book, Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States. That book ignited a national debate on capital punishment and spawned an Academy Award winning movie, a play, and an opera.

Sister Helen’s second book, The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions, was published in 2004; and her third book, River of Fire: My Spiritual Journey, in August, 2019. She is currently collaborating on a graphic retelling of Dead Man Walking, to be published by Random House.

Canvas Workshop | Level: Beginner

Instructure has set a timeline for New Quizzes to become the native quizzing engine, within U-M’s Canvas LMS instance, and retire Classic Quizzes by summer 2023. Beginning in July 2022 Classic Quizzes will no longer allow users to create or edit quizzes. This is a significant change and we want to keep U-M faculty and staff informed as we prepare for the transition from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes, to ensure a seamless migration experience.

WORKSHOP TOPICS
- Overview of the Migration from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes
- Setup of Quizzes
- Quiz options
- Previewing Quizzes
- Moderating Quizzes

The ITS Teaching Online Technique Training Workshops are available to help you prepare for teaching online, in person, hybrid, or HyFlex.

HEP-Astro Seminar | Probing Cosmic Structure Growth with Full-Scale Cross-Survey Modeling (January 10, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90690 90690-21672377@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 10, 2022 4:00pm

The canonical picture of cosmology, the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) model, has been remarkably successful in explaining a large variety of different observations. However, in recent years, apparent tensions in this standard model have started to appear and spark interest in alternative cosmological models. Cosmic structure growth as probed by large-scale structure (LSS) galaxy surveys is one of the most sensitive probes of dark energy and physics beyond LCDM. First, I will summarize recent results from LSS surveys analyzing weak gravitational lensing, focusing on the possibility of a cosmological growth-of-structure tension. I will then present ongoing efforts to maximize the information content we can extract from LSS surveys through full-scale cross-survey modeling. First, I will discuss how the "lensing is low" problem can illuminate our understanding of cosmic structure growth, galaxy formation, and small-scale baryonic physics. Afterward, I will present a full-scale cosmology study of redshift-space galaxy clustering. I show that such an analysis yields some of the most stringent constraints on the cosmic growth rate of the Universe to date. Finally, I will give an outlook on what to expect from similar studies with the upcoming Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI).

International Research Engagement Town Hall (January 11, 2022 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90021 90021-21667472@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 11, 2022 2:30pm
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.

The Special Collections Research Center holds an extraordinary collection of early printed books published in Spain from the fifteenth century onward. Particularly significant are the holdings illustrating the Golden Age of Spanish literature in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, that is, the so-called “Siglo de Oro," which includes world-renowned writers like Garcilaso de la Vega, Miguel de Cervantes, and Francisco de Quevedo.

Join us at 4:00 p.m. via Zoom or in person! Curator Pablo Alvarez will give an opening presentation from 4:00-4:30 p.m. via Zoom for both online and in person attendees — a tour of artifacts as witnesses of how literary masterpieces such as El Lazarillo de Tormes or Don Quixote were published and read centuries ago, as well as additional documents illustrating some of the political and religious anxieties of Spanish society at that time, including books produced by the formidable Holy Inquisition.

For the rest of the allotted time, while in-person attendees browse the material on display in Room 660D in the Special Collections Research Center (on the 6th floor of the Hatcher Library), Alvarez will answer questions from everyone, online and in person.

Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is a common pathological condition caused by traumatic loss of skeletal muscle that exceeds the muscle’s regenerative capabilities and results in functional impairment. Current surgical standards-of-care frequently fail to fully recover contractile function. To address these limitations, our laboratory has developed scaffold-free tissue engineered skeletal muscle units (SMUs) for the treatment of VML. Isolated skeletal muscle stem cells (satellite cells) and fibroblasts are cultured into a confluent cell monolayer before being rolled into a cylindrical 3D construct. Ideally, these SMUs could be engineered from small autogenic muscle biopsies, alleviating the limitations of donor site morbidity and immune rejection seen in current VML treatments. These SMUs are biocompatible, incorporate into surrounding muscle tissue upon implantation, and have shown efficacy to partially repair a 30% VML in rat and sheep models. There are two key challenges that must be resolved to successfully translate our technology to a human cell-sourced model. To date, it has been difficult to grow human cell-sourced SMUs with any noteworthy contractile function. Secondly, many satellite cells are required for SMU fabrication. Any methodology that can optimize the number of cells obtained in a human skeletal muscle biopsy and enhance the functional properties of the resultant muscle tissue will advance SMUs towards clinical use.

Human epidermal growth factor (hEGF), a mitogen, has shown promise enhancing myobundle formation and contractile function in vitro. Prior to this thesis work, the impact of hEGF treatment during the proliferation and differentiation phases of SMU fabrication had yet to be evaluated. We investigated the effects of hEGF on SMU fabrication, structure, and biomechanical function. Our results indicated that hEGF was critical for the development of contractile function in human cell-sourced SMUs.

Due to the small amount of satellite cells present in skeletal muscle, we also sought to optimize our methodologies so that fewer satellite cells are needed to be isolated to fabricate SMUs. Currently, we have been successful at fabricating functional SMUs using lower cell-seeding densities compared to rat and sheep models. By altering the timing of our fabrication protocol and allowing cell cultures to reach >90% confluency in media that promotes proliferation, we found that we could lower starting cell-seeding density by 90% compared to ovine models with no detrimental impact to monolayer development or SMU function.

To further expand the capabilities of satellite cells from a single autogenic skeletal muscle biopsy, we evaluated the impact of in vitro cell proliferation (increasing cell number by cell passaging) on human primary skeletal muscle cells within an engineered skeletal muscle tissue environment. While cell passaging decreased the percentage of myogenic cells in the total cell population, results indicated that human primary skeletal muscle cells can be passaged without negatively impacting the contractile function of a skeletal muscle construct compared to one created with unpassaged cells. A single passage can increase the total cell yield from a human skeletal muscle biopsy fiftyfold compared to cells harvested without a passage.

Overall, this work significantly contributed to the field of skeletal muscle tissue engineering by advancing fabrication methodologies to develop SMUs of appropriate structure and function for human application. We addressed two key limitations in human cell-sourced skeletal muscle tissue engineering by optimizing cell culture conditions to increase the cell yield from a single skeletal muscle biopsy while promoting SMU biomechanical function.

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Exhibition: Nov 12, 2021 - January 22, 2022
Public Opening and Award Ceremony: November 12, 2021
Organized by Stamps Gallery, Envision: The Michigan Artist Initiative is a new awards program designed to support the development of contemporary artists living and working in Michigan. This inaugural program recognizes the creativity, rigor, and innovation of Michigan-based artists and collaboratives — and honors their role in inspiring the next generations of artists in our state.
The call for work went out to artists across the state in March 2020. In July 2020, Envision jurors Carla Acevedo-Yates, Curator, MCA Chicago; Ken Aptekar (BFA '73), Artist; and Loring Randolph (BFA '04), Director, Frieze New York; gathered virtually to review the submissions.
After evaluating 259 submissions from across the state, the jurors selected five finalists to receive a group exhibition at Stamps Gallery.
On December 10, 2021, one finalist will be named the 2021 Envision Award recipient, receiving a cash prize.
The exhibition will tour to different venues in Michigan, including the Crooked Tree Art Center in Traverse City.

As part of the CEW+Inspire initiative, CEW+ holds mindful meditation sits virtually on Wednesdays at 12:15.

RSVP here to receive the Zoom link: https://myumi.ch/r8zv7

Mindfulness Meditation is a skill that can be learned and when practiced has the power to enhance a sense of wellbeing, focus, and interconnectedness. As we all continue to navigate uncertainty and challenges that are inherent in the act of being human, we benefit from and are grateful for diverse cultures and traditions across the globe. Collectively they have passed on a wide variety of contemplative practices that encourage reflection, silence, and centering into the present moment to help us cope and better respond. Engaging in contemplative practices support the individual, by cultivating a sense of awareness and well-being, and benefit society by enhancing one’s capacity to create connection and community, and to become an agent of positive social change. There are many forms of contemplative practices, including meditation. Mindfulness meditation is one form aimed to help focus our awareness on the present moment as it unfolds, moment to moment, without judgment. Research on mindfulness continues to find a wide range of benefits. In short, Mindfulness may be viewed as cognitive training that bolsters our ability to handle stress, poor mood, and threat. It also increases our capacity to focus our attention on what is most important to us and to be more compassionate to ourselves and to others.

On Wednesdays from 12:15 - 12:45 pm, we come together in community to practice this skill in an open and supportive virtual space. Whether you are new to mindfulness meditation or are an experienced practitioner each session is designed to offer guidance and support to assist you. Join this supportive community and experience the gift of present moment awareness.

CBSSM Seminar "Gender Equity in Medical Physics: What happens when a physicist tries to learn qualitative research techniques." (January 12, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90566 90566-21671696@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 12, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM)

Medical physics, like many other fields within science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine (STEMM), is male-dominated. In this collaboration between CBSSM and the Michigan Medicine Department of Radiation Oncology, we aimed to explore gender-inequities within medical physics via semi-structured interviews with thirty-two practicing medical physicists across the United States. Our interviews covered three primary topics: mentorship, work/life integration, and discrimination within the field, and participants shared compelling stories documenting their own lived experiences related to gender equity. Dissemination of this work will both improve awareness of systemic inequities and promote positive change for the future.

Department Colloquium | Discovery and Design of Emergent Behavior in Soft Materials (January 12, 2022 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90691 90691-21672378@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 12, 2022 4:00pm

Nature organizes itself with often startling complexity at every length scale accessible to human inquiry, resulting in a range of organic and inorganic materials with emergent and varied structural and dynamical properties. An outstanding current goal of materials science is to harness the often subtle self-organization displayed by Nature in order to design materials with tailor-made functionalities in the laboratory. This talk will focus on efforts, in support of that goal, to understand how local structure and local rules give rise to global behavior in soft materials on the nano- and micro-scales. I will first discuss amorphous and jammed colloidal systems, where local structure arises initially due to sample preparation, and subsequently influences rearrangement dynamics and material memory effects under oscillatory shear [1]. I will then discuss systems of colloidal particles with very short-range interactions, where local structure emerges entirely due to entropic considerations. In these systems, local structure can (i) determine whether materials crystallize or fail to do so entirely [2], (ii) tune relaxation behavior in the glass-forming regime [3], and (iii) give rise to crystallization pathways of varying complexity [4,5]. Finally, I will briefly discuss recent work characterizing local microstructure in the biological context of the human brain, and potential applications related to brain development, aging, and neurodegenerative disease [6]. This work collectively demonstrates the enormous impact of simple local rules on complex global behavior in material and biological systems, and points toward exciting future directions related to the design of those behaviors.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Armenian Studies

Participate virtually by registering in advance for the webinar: https://myumi.ch/J8WE8

After registration, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to join the webinar.

In Armenian Studies, most of the scholarship that we can categorize under the fields of trauma studies and memory studies has focused on the Armenian Genocide. What happens, though, when we recognize that inheritors of traumatic cultural memory can also be witnesses to succeeding events of collective violence? Listen to the testimonies of Armenian communities who remained in their ancestral homeland and those in the diaspora and you will likely find that phenomenon of narration.

Analyzing examples from Armenian American, Palestinian American, and American Indian literary canons, this presentation proffers the rubric of what Dr. Makhdoumian calls “nested memory.” Through this contrapuntal approach, she illuminates depictions of inherited memories of removal that are nested into collective memories of succeeding experiences of upheaval and displacement. Dr. Makhdoumian works in this manner of juxtaposition to build theoretical nuance and to make legible rather than erase the tensions that are raised when we bring together the afterlives of structural violence in different geopolitical sites. This approach allows her to articulate the overlapping but also distinct methodological aims of the study of the migration of memory, memory and migration, and the memory of migration.

Helen Makhdoumian received her PhD in English from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Trained as an interdisciplinary scholar, Makhdoumian also earned a minor in American Indian and Indigenous Studies as well as certificates through the Initiative in Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies (HGMS) and the Unit for Criticism and Interpretive Theory. From 2015-18, she co-organized the Future of Trauma and Memory Studies, an interdisciplinary graduate student and faculty member reading group on campus. She regularly contributed to Days and Memory, the HGMS blog, and her articles have appeared in Modern Fiction Studies, Studies in American Indian Literatures, and the Journal of the Society for Armenian Studies. In addition to teaching literature and composition courses at the University of Illinois, Dr. Makhdoumian held administrative appointments as a Peer Mentor for New Instructors, Digital Literacies Coordinator, and an Assistant Director of the Undergraduate Rhetoric Program as well as an assistant director of the campus writing center.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

Please join us for a very special discussion between the curators of the UJIMA exhibit currently
on display in GalleryDAAS (G648 Haven Hall) and through a virtual audio/visual tour: myumi.ch/7ZQn0

DAAS welcomes Solomon Lucy, Zoe Allen, Justin Williams and Kai Dotson of the Black Student Union
with Elizabeth James and Arielle Chen of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies
as they discuss how the exhibit came to be created and the importance of this message at this time in history.

This exhibit focuses on the concept of Ujima (collective work and responsibility in Swahili)
as it pertains to activism on the campus of the University of Michigan over the years.
By seeing how collective actions can lead to powerful movements, the exhibit presents
a chronological display demonstrating the importance of calling for change.

The majority of photos and articles originate from campus resources
including the Bentley Historical Library, the Michigan Daily's archives and other
original materials.

UJIMA is dedicated to the students, faculty, staff, and alumni of the
University of Michigan who envisioned and exemplified the principle of Ujima to bring
about a more equitable and inclusive university through their thoughts and actions.

Participants will also explore identity and how the identities we hold affect our understanding of the world around us.
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

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.

Exhibition: Nov 12, 2021 - January 22, 2022
Public Opening and Award Ceremony: November 12, 2021
Organized by Stamps Gallery, Envision: The Michigan Artist Initiative is a new awards program designed to support the development of contemporary artists living and working in Michigan. This inaugural program recognizes the creativity, rigor, and innovation of Michigan-based artists and collaboratives — and honors their role in inspiring the next generations of artists in our state.
The call for work went out to artists across the state in March 2020. In July 2020, Envision jurors Carla Acevedo-Yates, Curator, MCA Chicago; Ken Aptekar (BFA '73), Artist; and Loring Randolph (BFA '04), Director, Frieze New York; gathered virtually to review the submissions.
After evaluating 259 submissions from across the state, the jurors selected five finalists to receive a group exhibition at Stamps Gallery.
On December 10, 2021, one finalist will be named the 2021 Envision Award recipient, receiving a cash prize.
The exhibition will tour to different venues in Michigan, including the Crooked Tree Art Center in Traverse City.

CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Too Young to Run? Voter Evaluations of the Age of Candidates (January 13, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89290 89290-21661821@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 13, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Please note: Due to updated guidance from the University in regards to the Covid Policy, this lecture will be only in a webinar format . Please register here to attend: https://myumi.ch/d99yG

In Japan, as in most countries, elected officials tend to be older than most of the constituents they represent. Is this because voters generally prefer older politicians to younger ones? In this study, we manipulate the photos of hypothetical candidates via age regression and progression software in a survey experiment to examine age biases and stereotypes among Japanese voters.

Charles McClean is the Toyota Visiting Professor at the University of Michigan’s Center for Japanese Studies. His research focuses on the politics of age and aging, political institutions, social welfare, representation, and local politics. Previously, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations at Harvard University. He received a Ph.D. in Political Science from UC San Diego, an M.A. in Regional Studies: East Asia from Harvard University, and a B.A. in International Relations and Japanese from Tufts University.

This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required if you intend to participate virtually. Once you've registered, the joining information will be sent to your email. Webinar registration link to be announced. The Center for Japanese Studies will follow state, local, and University of Michigan guidelines for in-person events.

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.

Take classes with local faculty and learn alongside other degree-seeking students, some of whom are also studying abroad! Establish a new way of life in another country and gain fresh perspective on how different parts of the world operate all while staying on track for graduation.

All credits are in-residence for LSA students and can count towards graduation requirements. Non-LSA students should speak with their advisors

On top of the multiple sessions we'll be offering, we'll also have open advising hours where you can speak with CGIS advisors, LSA Scholarship Office advisors, and various partners who will be happy to discuss various program options.

Linda Silka, the newly-elected president of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI, Division 9 of APA), is conducting a "listening tour" at institutions around the country, to learn about research that is important to the SPSSI's mission. The goal of Dr. Silka's listening tour is to improve SPSSI's ability to meet the needs of psychologists with interests in social issues.

This session is a part of Dr. Silka's listening tour, conducted as an informal conversation. In the session, we will have an opportunity to hear from Dr. Silka and share about our research and policy interests. Questions we will discuss are for example: What research really excites you right now? What problems do you think we should be focusing on in our research? Have you seen some interesting problems that psychology could tackle, but has not?

We welcome interested faculty members and students from all areas to attend this session!

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

Webinar Description:
Broadband internet access plays a critical role in modern society, facilitating long-distance communication, access to information, and health care interventions, as well as multiple opportunities for social participation. Internet access is increasingly necessary for work, filing for unemployment benefits, and receiving health care through telemedicine, making it a key component of the social determinants of health. It is estimated that one in four Americans does not have internet access or the computing devices needed to engage in these activities. Yet little is known about the impact of broadband internet access for the health of people with disabilities. This webinar will present new research findings and discuss current policy implications related to broadband internet for the health of adults with disability.

This webinar is free and open to the public. Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) services will be available to provide live closed captions.

The content of this webinar has been developed under a grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR #90RTHF0001).

A Truly Subject-Specific, Shared Model of the Human Tricuspid Valve (January 13, 2022 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90763 90763-21673517@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 13, 2022 3:30pm

Abstract: Computer simulations have become critical elements of the medical device design and regulatory approval process. Naturally, the predictability and therefore value of such simulations depends highly on their accuracy. Especially for the design of heart valve replacements and repair technologies computer simulations have become a critical tool. While much progress has been made in modeling the aortic valve and the mitral valve, much less effort has been spent on modeling the tricuspid valve. The reasons are multi-fold, but include the general neglect of the valve as well as the high complexity of the valve in comparison to the three other valves. In our most recent work, we are beginning to fulfill this gap. Specifically, our objective is to develop, validate, and then publicly provide a truly subject-specific, shared model of the human tricuspid valve. To this end, we combine multi imaging-modality based measurements in beating human hearts that have been prepared in an organ preservation system, with in-vitro measurements of heart valve geometric, structural, and mechanical properties. Once built, we conduct finite element simulations with this valve and validate dynamic simulations throughout the cardiac cycle against in-situ measurements. Finally, we show case our model by first mimicking a diseased valve, which we then repair using a surgical and an interventional approach.

Bio: Dr. Rausch is an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin where he directs the soft tissue biomechanics laboratory. His laboratory's objective is to use complimentary imaging modalities, mechanical testing, and numerical methods to understand and predict soft tissue disease. The specific problems he studies include pressure ulcers, right heart heart failure, tricuspid valve regurgitation, and thrombotic disease.

The highly dynamic nature of metabolites and their abundances makes metabolomics a
powerful endpoint of the ‘omics’ cascade, yielding a molecular profile that is closest to the
physiological phenotype. Metabolomic profiles are therefore sensitive to subtle perturbations
observed in early disease stages or disease progression, which may be difficult to detect at the
proteome or transcriptome levels. Human diseases are multi-factorial in nature, and studying
small parts of their associated molecular changes is generally insufficient for understanding the
full spectrum of disease phenotypes.
The metabolome is the total collection of biologically-active small molecules with molecular
weights lower than about ~1.5 kDa in an organism. This includes endogenous molecules that
are biosynthesized by metabolic networks in “primary metabolism”, specialized “secondary
metabolite” signaling or defense molecules, molecules derived from diet or environmental
exposures (the exposome), and molecules derived from the biosynthetic interactions with
associated microbes (the microbiome). Metabolomics can either be “targeted” to a set of known
compounds, for example certain lipids, or “non-targeted”, which attempts to detect and relatively
quantify as many metabolites as possible.
The vast chemical diversity of the metabolome (lipids, sugars, amino acids, etc.), and its
wide dynamic range (mM to fM) implies that no single analytical method can adequately profile
all metabolites in one metabolomics experiment. Along these lines, the “fusion” of mass
spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is emerging as one of
the most powerful avenues to increase metabolome coverage. Nested separations that work in
a time frame compatible with mass spectrometry, such as those performed by ion mobility, are
also playing a key analytical role in metabolomics as a way of increasing peak capacity, and
identifying metabolites through ion mobility collision cross section measurements. Further,
localization of metabolites at the tissue level with imaging mass spectrometry experiments,
allows linking their abundance with changes observed in biofluids. In this seminar, I will
introduce the typical workflow used in non-targeted metabolomics experiments, describe
potential pitfalls through examples related to our efforts within the Molecular Transducers of
Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC), and showcase the challenges involved in identifying
unknowns with this growing ‘omics approach.

What happened and what to expect next? This expert panel will analyze and discuss recent events across Kazakhstan that have made headlines worldwide.

Panelists: Pauline Jones, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC), U-M; Nurseit Niyazbekov, Assistant Professor of International Relations, KIMEP University; Edward Schatz, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto; Regina Smyth, Professor of Political Science, Indiana University Bloomington

Moderator: Adam Casey, WCED Postdoctoral Fellow

Pauline Jones is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Digital Islamic Studies Curriculum (DISC). Previously, she served as Director of UM’s Islamic Studies Program (2011-14) and International Institute (2014-20). Her past work has contributed broadly to the study of institutional origin, change, and impact with an empirical focus on the former Soviet Union, primarily the five Central Asia states of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Currently, she is engaged in two major research projects. One explores the influence of religion on political attitudes and behavior in Muslim majority states with an emphasis on the relationship between religious regulation, religiosity, and political mobilization. The other focuses on the identifying the factors that affect the extent to which people are complying with social distancing policies to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact that these policies are having on individuals and communities around the world.

Nurseit Niyazbekov is an Assistant Professor in the Department of International Relations at KIMEP University, Kazakhstan. He holds a PhD in politics and MSc in sociology from the University of Oxford. He has taught at other universities in Kazakhstan and has conducted research at international and non-governmental organizations. He often consults international think tanks and researchers on issues related to political risks, democratization, social welfare, and protests in Kazakhstan. His research interests revolve around post-communist transitions, Central Asian politics, social movements, social capital, and protest mobilization.

Edward Schatz is Professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto. He recently published *Slow Anti-Americanism: Social Movements and Symbolic Politics in Central Asia* with Stanford University Press. His previous books include *Paradox of Power: The Logics of State Weakness in Eurasia* (2017) and *Political Ethnography: What Immersion Contributes to the Study of Power* (2009). His research interests include social mobilization, identity politics, qualitative methods, the former USSR, and Central Asia.

Regina Smyth is Professor of Political Science at Indiana University. Her primary research interest is in the dynamics of state-society relations in transitional and electoral authoritarian regimes. She has also written extensively on political development in the Russian Federation, including her recent book *Elections, Protest, and Authoritarian Regime Stability: Russia 2008–2020* (Cambridge University Press, 2020). Her research, largely based on original data collection and analysis, has been funded by the National Science Foundation, International Research and Exchanges Board, US - Russia Foundation, National Council for Eurasian and East European Research, the National Security Education Program, the Smith Richardson Foundation, and the Russian and East European Center, Ostrom Workshop, Department of Political Science, and College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University.

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.
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.

Abstract: Competing approaches to inference in randomized experiments differ primarily in (1) which notion of ``no treatment effect’’ being tested; and (2) whether or not a superpopulation model is posited for the potential outcomes. Recommended hypothesis tests in a given paradigm may be invalid even asymptotically when applied in other frameworks, creating the risk of misinterpretation by practitioners when a given method is deployed. For a large class of test statistics common in practice, we develop a general framework for ensuring validity across competing modes of inference. To do this, we employ permutation tests based upon prepivoted test statistics, wherein a test statistic is first transformed by a suitably constructed cumulative distribution function and its permutation distribution is then enumerated. In essence, the approach uses the permutation distribution of a p-value for a large-sample test known to be valid under the null hypothesis of no average treatment effect as a reference distribution. The framework readily accommodates regression-adjusted estimators of average treatment effects, and the corresponding tests are never less powerful asymptotically than a test based upon the unadjusted estimator and maintain asymptotic validity even if the regression model is misspecified. The tests retain finite-sample exactness under stricter definitions of no treatment effect such as Fisher’s sharp null by virtue of being permutation tests, and validity across different superpopulation models can be ensured through the choice of the estimated CDF used when prepivoting.

Biophysics in industry: Real-time measurement and manipulation of single-molecule interactions: from DNA-binding proteins to biomolecular condensates (January 14, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90313 90313-21670330@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 14, 2022 12:00pm

Biological processes emerge from mechanisms at the molecular scale. While biophysical techniques (e.g., X-ray crystallography, cryoEM) with bulk biochemical assays (e.g., enzymatic reactions, fluorescent reporters) have helped to better understand emergent structure-function relationships, the complete picture of molecular-scale mechanisms is often missed. In addition, the existing techniques often do not provide tools to observe and manipulate a biological system simultaneously and understand mechanisms from the molecular to the cellular level. In this talk, I will introduce a single-molecule tool, the C-Trap, which enables users to observe and manipulate biological systems in real-time. This technology combines two Nobel prize-winning ideas (optical tweezers and super-resolution STED microscopy), integrated with easy-to-use microfluidics, that allows users to perform single-molecule studies on a broad range of biological systems. I will present some case studies to highlight the role of C-trap in looking at DNA/RNA-proteins interactions, proteins/RNA-structure dynamics, and nucleic acid/protein condensates. The presented case studies and workflows serve as a framework for measuring and visualizing complex and dynamic biological systems, that would be extremely challenging to study using conventional biophysical techniques.

When do Multinational Corporations Concede to Nationalistic Activism: A Natural Experiment (January 14, 2022 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90174 90174-21668765@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 14, 2022 1:30pm

We extend the corporate political-mediation model, which is developed in a domestic context and attributes corporate concessions to social movement activists to contextual pressures, to the international market in order to explain concessions made by multinational corporations (MNC) to nationalist activists in their host countries. We argue that in the international market, the pressures that firms face include not only declines in performance but also those that arise from a more complex set of stakeholders. Whereas in a domestic context, all of a corporation’s stakeholders are embedded within the same cultural, political, and social environment and are therefore more likely to have a shared understanding of what is good, right, and desirable in society, in the international context of MNCs, stakeholders are located in countries with different national values and sometimes even opposing beliefs. Nationalism can be perceived as undermining the right of a nation’s individual members and minority groups. Thus, a firm is less likely to concede to a host country’s nationalism if it faces pressure from stakeholders located in countries that value equality, individualism, democracy, and diversity. We find support for our theory in a natural experiment on Fortune Global 500 firms that were targeted by Chinese nationalists for violating the “One China” protocol in regional indications.

Smith Lecture: Genesis and Evolution of the El Laco Iron Oxide-Apatite Deposit in the Chilean Altiplano (January 14, 2022 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89101 89101-21660479@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 14, 2022 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Earth and Environmental Sciences

The genesis of iron oxide-apatite (IOA) deposits, which have been historically a major source of iron for our society, has remained elusive for more than half a century, with proposed genetic models that span the spectrum from purely igneous to purely hydrothermal processes. Much of this long-standing debate has been centered in the Plio-Pleistocene El Laco deposit in the Chilean Altiplano, which is the youngest and one of the best preserved example of this mineralization type on Earth. Its massive magnetite orebodies emplaced on the flanks of an andesitic stratovolcano host more than a gigaton of iron and have attracted significant attention because of their uniquely preserved volcanic-like features which bear a striking resemblance to basaltic lava flows. Therefore, the El Laco deposit is considered as a key location to understand the processes that form IOA systems in volcanic settings.
In this talk I will present the results of a comprehensive study that combined fieldwork with a multi-instrumental microanalytical approach for geochemical and microtextural characterization of ore and volcanic rock samples, which allowed dissecting the El Laco system from its roots to the surface. In particular, I will show how microtextures and chemical composition of magnetite and associated silicate minerals can help us to better understand the processes involved in the formation and evolution of this enigmatic deposit. The results that will be shown support a genetic model that explains the formation of the El Laco deposit by a combination of magmatic and hydrothermal processes operating during the evolution of a volcanic system.

ABSTRACT
Critical knowledge about language and culture is an integral part of the quest for educational equity and empowerment, not only in PreK-12 but also in higher education. As Black students transition from high school to college, they seek to add their voices and perspectives to academic discourse and to the scholarly community in a way that is both advantageous and authentic.

The Talking College Project is a Black student and Black studies centered way to learn more about the particular linguistic choices of Black students while empowering them to be proud of their cultural and linguistic heritage. Black students took introductory educational linguistics courses that examined the role of language in the Black college experience and collected information from college students through both interviews and ethnography. We valued the perspectives of undergraduates from a range of disciplinary backgrounds as researchers, and we had a special focus on how our findings can immediately improve their own educational and linguistic experiences.

One key question of The Talking College Project was: how does the acquisition of different varieties of Black language and culture overlap with identity development, particularly intersectional racial identity development? To answer this question, we used a community-based participatory research methodology to conduct over 100 interviews with Black students at numerous Minority-Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges, and Predominantly White Universities across the U.S. We also conducted ethnographic research on over 10 college campuses. Based on information collected from the interviews and our ethnographies, it is evident that Black students often face linguistic bias and may need additional support and guidance as they navigate the linguistic terrain of higher education. In this presentation, I present themes and examples from the interviews that illustrate the linguistic pathways that students choose, largely without direct sociolinguistic support that could help guide their decisions.

To address the greater need to share information about Black language with students, I highlight our findings from interviews with Black students who have taken courses in educational linguistics to demonstrate the impact of education about Black language and culture on Black students’ academic opportunities and social lives. We have a focus on how this information particularly influenced those who went on to be educators. These findings serve to help us create an equity-based model of assessment for what educational linguistic information Black students need in order to be successful in higher education and how faculty can help to establish opportunities for students to access content about language, culture, and education within the college curriculum. I address the work we need to do as educators and linguists to provide more Black college students with information that both empowers them raciolinguistically AND respects their developing identity choices.

The Sweet Remains consist of three gifted and charismatic singer-songwriters, each of whom contribute to the writing and the three-part harmonies that define the band's sound. Driven by strong lyrical and melodic writing, their songs easily appeal to fans of modern folk-rockers like Jason Mraz, Ray Lamontagne, and John Mayer. However, it is their lush harmonies, that distinguish The Sweet Remains from the throngs of guitar-toting troubadour, harking back to supergroups of the 60's and 70's like CSN, the Eagles, and Simon & Garfunkel. When Rich Price, Greg Naughto, and Brian Chartrand met for a chance jam session in a Rhode Island hotel room in 2008, the three instantly recognized a musical blend and kinship that would eventually overcome geography (and solo careers) to form The Sweet Remains. Since then they've toured as far away as Denmark and Germany, and gained critical raves from the likes of the Boston Herald, which wrote that "it's been a long time since three-part harmonies this lush were yoked to songs this melodically gorgeous." Come and luxuriate in the sounds of the harmony trio of the year!

Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

We're starting the Winter 2022 series virtually with a selection of favorite presentations from the archives. This Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series event originally took place on April 2, 2015.
Through a variety of mediums, including painting, film/video, performance, and installation, Kent Monkman explores themes of colonization, sexuality, loss, and resilience — the complexities of historic and contemporary Native American experience. His alter-ego, Miss Chief, appears in his work as an agent provocateur and trickster who upends received notions of history and indigenous people. Monkman has created memorable site specific performances at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, The Royal Ontario Museum, The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, Compton Verney, and most recently at the Denver Art Museum. His award-winning short film and video works have been screened at various national and international festivals, including the 2007 and 2008 Berlinale, and the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival. Monkman has been awarded the Egale Leadership Award, the Indspire Award and the Hnatyshyn Foundation Visual Arts Award.

Exhibition: Nov 12, 2021 - January 22, 2022
Public Opening and Award Ceremony: November 12, 2021
Organized by Stamps Gallery, Envision: The Michigan Artist Initiative is a new awards program designed to support the development of contemporary artists living and working in Michigan. This inaugural program recognizes the creativity, rigor, and innovation of Michigan-based artists and collaboratives — and honors their role in inspiring the next generations of artists in our state.
The call for work went out to artists across the state in March 2020. In July 2020, Envision jurors Carla Acevedo-Yates, Curator, MCA Chicago; Ken Aptekar (BFA '73), Artist; and Loring Randolph (BFA '04), Director, Frieze New York; gathered virtually to review the submissions.
After evaluating 259 submissions from across the state, the jurors selected five finalists to receive a group exhibition at Stamps Gallery.
On December 10, 2021, one finalist will be named the 2021 Envision Award recipient, receiving a cash prize.
The exhibition will tour to different venues in Michigan, including the Crooked Tree Art Center in Traverse City.

After a film premiere, a famous actor is kidnapped in the middle of Seoul. Thinking it is a prank, the actor is relaxed, but when he faces cruelty, he realizes the gravity of the situation. He tries to find an escape route as kidnappers demand a huge ransom within 24 hours. Then the struggle begins, which is very different from what he has seen in films.

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.

Join us via Zoom:

The exhilaration of the open road. A celebration of heroes. The hope for redemption. Descriptions of those things that are both near and dear. His stories are a continuation of tales Paul has told over the expanse of nineteen albums, numerous critical kudos (15 Boston Music Awards alone), inclusion in several blockbuster soundtracks, and stages he has headlined near and far. He has also released a pair of children’s albums, earning him honors from the Parent’s Choice Foundation for both. His latest The Hero In You has been turned into a picture book, detailing the lives of great American heroes.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Social Research

Part one of a two-part event: The Built Environment of our Cities and Communities and Social Justice in America. Part of the ISR 2022 Symposium in honor of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

For information on part two, a panel discussion, please see https://events.umich.edu/event/90200

Synopsis: Over half the world's population now lives in an urban area, and 75% will call a city home by 2050. But while some cities are experiencing explosive growth, others are shrinking. The challenges of balancing housing, mobility, public space, civic engagement, economic development, and environmental policy are fast becoming universal concerns. Yet much of the dialogue on these issues is disconnected from the public domain. By exploring a diverse range of urban design projects around the world, URBANIZED frames a global discussion on the future of cities.

Please note: This film will be in the main theater. The Michigan Theater requires proof of full COVID vaccination or show proof of a negative PCR test taken 72 hours of the event. Masks are required for all attendees and temperatures will be checked upon entry.

LRCCS MLK Event | Black Lives and Asian Medicine (January 17, 2022 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/90515 90515-21671210@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 17, 2022 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Zoom Registration Link: https://myumi.ch/DJwwy

After the death of George Floyd, practitioners of traditional Asian medicine began to examine some of the racist biases that affected their own field. It quickly became apparent that the contributions of Black communities to both the practice and popularization of Asian medicine were missing from the histories that most practitioners know. Yi-Li Wu, associate professor of history and women's and gender studies and faculty associate at LRCCS, will discuss the role that the Black Panther Party and the Black Acupuncturist Association have played in bringing alternative Asian medical treatments to the United States. She will also discuss the process of self-reflection and study that led the journal, Asian Medicine, to critique its own racialized dynamics and commit to producing a special issue on this subject.
 
Yi-Li Wu is the author of *Reproducing Women: Medicine, Metaphor, and Childbirth in Late Imperial China* (UC Press). She holds a BA in political science from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MA in international relations and a PhD in history from Yale University. She was a faculty member at Albion College for thirteen years and subsequently a researcher with the EASTMedicine group at the University of Westminster (UK). Her publications on society, culture, and the body in late imperial China have examined breast cancer, medical iconography, forensics, bone setting, the circulation of Chinese medicine in Korea, and Chinese views of European medicine. She is completing a monograph on the history of medicine for injuries and wounds in China, using this subfield of literate medicine to explore how experiences of the material and structural body shaped the development of Chinese medical thought.

Honoring the Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.: MLK and The Lighthouse Effect (January 17, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89346 89346-21662065@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 17, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University Library

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is not just an annual recognition of the life and legacy of a civil rights leader. It's an opportunity to look inward and ask ourselves what we can do to bring about a more equal world, and what tangible actions we can take to ensure that all voices are heard — and valued — says author and business leader Steve Pemberton. It’s what Dr. King dreamed of and what Pemberton tries to achieve every day. In this inspirational presentation, informed by Pemberton’s turbulent journey of growing up in the foster care system, Pemberton asks us to reconsider Dr. King’s legacy in the context of the enduring structure of the lighthouse and how each day offers us an opportunity to find a lighthouse for ourselves and to become one for another. At a time when the very notion of diversity needs to be re-defended and re-defined, you’ll be renewed and inspired to make your own contributions to helping us find our collective humanity. Followed by Q&A.

Steve Pemberton is an author, philanthropist, and motivational speaker, and is currently chief people officer for Workhuman. His memoir, A Chance in the World, recounts his life journey and amplifies his motivational messages: believe in your dreams, rise above obstacles, create opportunities for others, and most of all, persevere.

Our study group not only studies, we actively use any art material available to us. The students are experienced painters as well as novices. We do our homework and see weekly videos pertaining to art and help each other navigate Zoom as well as the world of art. We also appreciate each other’s work and the growth we see and talk about our common interests and goals.

Group leader Barbara Anderson is a retired special education teacher who used art to help teach children as they learned in different ways that made sense to them. Since retiring she has taken many classes and learned from expert teachers.

This class meets on Mondays, from January 17 - August 29. No classes on holidays.

Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.
