DAAS Africa Workshop with Severine Autesserre (Barnard College, Columbia University) (November 16, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54151 54151-13530694@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 16, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Haven Hall

Séverine Autesserre is a Professor of Political Science, specializing in international relations and African studies, at Barnard College, Columbia University. She works on civil wars, peacebuilding, peacekeeping, and humanitarian aid.

Professor Autesserre's latest research project examines successful international contributions to local and bottom-up peacebuilding. Her 2014 article in International Peacekeeping presents some of the early ideas for this research. Her 2017 article in the International Studies Review, her Op-Eds in the Washington Post (here and here), and her Foreign Affairs pieces (here and here) present her first findings. In academic years 2016-2018, she will work full time on this project as an Andrew Carnegie Fellow, with additional research support from the Folke Bernadotte Academy and the Gerda Henkel Foundation.

Her previous project focused on the everyday elements that influence peacebuilding interventions on the ground. It included extensive fieldwork in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and briefer comparative research in Burundi, Cyprus, Israel and the Palestinian Territories, South Sudan, and Timor-Leste. The book based on this research, Peaceland: Conflict Resolution and the Everyday Politics of International Intervention, was released by Cambridge University Press in 2014. It won the 2016 Best Book of the Year Award and the 2015 Yale H. Ferguson Award from the International Studies Association as well as honorable mentions for two other book prizes (the 2015 Chadwick Alger Prize from the International Studies Association and the 2014 African Argument Book of the Year). Findings from this project have also appeared in Critique Internationale and African Affairs (the latter piece won the 2012 Best Article award from the African Politics Conference Group).

Her earlier research project focused on local violence and international intervention in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, where Dr. Autesserre has travelled regularly since 2001. Her fieldwork and analysis culminated in The Trouble with the Congo: Local Violence and the Failure of International Peacebuilding, published by Cambridge University Press in 2010. The book won the 2012 Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order and the 2011 Chadwick Alger Prize presented by the International Studies Association to the best book on international organizations and multilateralism. Research for this project has also appeared in Foreign Affairs, International Organization, the Review of African Political Economy, the African Studies Review, the African Security Review, International Peacekeeping, the Revista de Relaciones Internationales, and the Journal of Humanitarian Affairs. It is the topic of a recent TED Talk that has more than 750,000 views.

Professor Autesserre's work has won numerous other prizes and fellowships, including two research awards from the United States Institute of Peace (2004-2005 and 2010-2012), two Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation research grants (2010 and 2011), a Presidential Research Award from Barnard College (2010), several grants from Columbia University (2010 – 2016), two Mellon Fellowships in Security and Humanitarian Action (2004-2006), the 2006 Best Graduate Student Paper award from the African Studies Association, and a Fulbright Fellowship (1999-2000).

Professor Autesserre teaches undergraduate classes such as "Civil Wars and International Interventions in Africa," "Building Peace," and "Aid, Violence, and Politics in Africa." She also regularly offers a SIPA course ("Civil Wars and Peace Settlements") and a doctoral seminar entitled "Debates on International Peace Interventions."

Before becoming an academic, Dr. Autesserre worked for humanitarian organizations (including Doctors Without Borders and Doctors of the World) and development agencies in Afghanistan, Kosovo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nicaragua, and India. She holds a post-doctorate from Yale University (2007), a Ph.D. in political science from New York University (2006), and master’s degrees in international relations and political science from Columbia University (2000) and Sciences Po (France, 1999).

Academic Focus:
Peacekeeping and peacebuilding
Democratic Republic of Congo

DAAS Africa Workshop with Antonio Tomas (African Centre for Cities) (November 20, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54152 54152-13530697@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 20, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

António Tomás is a senior lecturer at African Centre for Cities and the course convener of the newly-launched MPhil Southern Urbanism.



Tomás’s work engages with social sciences, particularly the anthropological theory to grapple with the materiality of cities in Africa. He has been particularly concerned with the relationship between imaginaries, or theories on the urban form, and concrete realities. Put it differently, he is interested in the ways which new forms of imagining and representing the city may emerge, and how they can be put to the use of recalibrating the transformation of spaces historically inherited, through colonialism for instance. This argumentation is at the centre of the book he has been working on called In the skin of the city:Luanda and the dialectics of Spatial Transformation.



Another trend of his work is the theory and practice of nationalisms and national liberation movements in Africa. He is the author of a study of the African nationalist Amílcar Cabral, O Fazedor de Utopias: uma Biografia de Amílcar Cabral [The Maker of Utopias: A Biography of Amílcar Cabral], published in Portugal in 2007, and in Cape Verde in 2018. The book is being currently translated and updated into English by the author himself.



He has also acted as a public intellectual and has written for newspapers in Angola and Portugal on topics ranging from racism, colonialism and decolonization, cultural studies, to contemporary politics in Angola. A collection of his journalistic writings has been published under the title: Poligrafia: das páginas dos Jornais Angolanos (Luanda, Casa das Ideias, 2010).



Tomás earned his PhD from Columbia University, in the city of New York, in 2012, and was the recipient of the Ray Pahl Fellowship in 2014 at the African Centre for Cities, the institution he has joined on a permanent basis in 2017 to help shaping the new academic programme focused on Southern Urbanism. He has taught and visited a number of institutions of higher education, such as École Normale des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Sciences Po, both in Paris – France, Makerere Institute of Social Research in Kampala – Uganda, as well as University of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape – South Africa.

Graduate institute for Design, Ethnography and Social Thought (GIDEST_ program assistant RHEA RAHMAN is a Ph.D. candidate in Anthropology at The New School for Social Research. Her research engages the multiple motivating logics and materializations of religiously inspired international development work. In her ethnographic investigation of a British-based, global Muslim NGO, she examines how institutionalized and secular accountability of professionalized development comes to bear on religious decrees and Islamic ethical stances. Having worked with the NGO in England, Mali, South Africa, and the Netherlands, she explores the complicated striving through which it tries to create a cohesive organizational identity that encompasses the diversity of the places, people, and things with which it engages.

Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

Please join the Disability Studies and Transnational Comics Studies RIWs for our upcoming discussion of English PhD candidate Crystal Yin Lie's chapter: "Drawn to History: Dementia, Temporality and Graphic Life Narrative."

Abstract: How do the formal qualities of graphic memoirs about dementia contribute to disability studies critiques of able-bodied temporalities; grapple with broader questions about representing trauma, history, and identity; and innovate as well as challenge what we think of as “comics”? Because comics stage time as space, examining graphic temporalities help expand our view of how dementia affects one’s orientation to normative constructions of time.

Both Dana Walrath’s Aliceheimer’s: Alzheimer’s Through the Looking Glass (2016) and Stuart Campbell’s webcomic These Memories Won’t Last (2015) exploit the affordances of graphic narrative’s multimodal ability to visually layer stories and disrupt time, enabling the examination and reframing of cultural fears and stigmas surrounding aging and memory impairment. They each explore a family member’s experience with dementia as one that requires the recognition of alternate realities and a more flexible approach to expectations placed on their sense of past, present, and future. The stakes of visualizing dementia’s reorientations to time and history take on particular significance in these works as Aliceheimer’s and These Memories also navigate the telling of stories regarding the Armenian Genocide and World War II, respectively. For Walrath and Campbell, putting dementia into graphic form is a heuristic for processing and making accessible histories of trauma, furthering possibilities of artistic expression, and crafting spaces for healing.

Colin Dayan
Robert Penn Warren Professor in the Humanities
Her areas of study include American literature, English and French Caribbean Literatures, Haitian historiography, and American legal scholarship. In A Rainbow for the Christian West: The Poetry of René Depestre (1977), she introduced to an English-speaking audience Depestre’s early epic poem about the vodou gods and their journey to the American South. With Fables of Mind: An Inquiry into Poe’s Fiction (1987), she turned to Poe’s fictions as complicated critiques of the traditions of romance and the gothic. Emphasizing a Calvinist Poe rather than a transcendental one, she argued that his studies of mind (reinvigorating Locke, Newton, Edwards, and Swift) are not anachronistically modern but have simply been misread outside their natural context of early American writing. Haiti, History and the Gods (1998) tells the story of colonial Haiti from the composite perspectives of legal and religious texts, letters, fiction, and her own knowledge of the country.

Her recent books are The Story of Cruel and Unusual (2007), which exposes the paradox of the eighth amendment to the Constitution, showing that in the United States, cycles of jurisprudence safeguard rights and then justify their revocation; and The Law is a White Dog: How Legal Rituals Make and Unmake Persons (2011), which examines how the fictions and language of law turn persons (and other legal non-entities like dogs, ghosts, slaves, felons, and terror suspects) into “rightless objects.” The Law is a White Dog was selected by Choice as one of top-25 "Outstanding Academic Books" for 2011. With dogs at the edge of life will be published in December 2015.

Over the past ten years,she has written widely on prison rights, the legalities of torture, canine profiling, animal law, and the racial contours of US practices of punishment for The Boston Review, The New York Times, The London Review of Books, and Al Jazeera America, where she is a contributing editor.

Honors include election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; and fellowships from the Danforth Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Guggenheim Foundation, the Social Science Research Council, the Davis Center for Historical Studies and the Program in Law and Public Affairs, Princeton.

Please join us for a Meet and Greet with Eduardo Chavaz. Refreshments will be served.

As the grandson of both the legendary civil rights activist César Chávez and the Cuban revolutionary Max Lesnik, Eduardo Chávez is the scion of two revolutionary families. This background has informed the majority of his work so far.

Eduardo is making his directorial debut with the feature documentary, "Hailing Cesar," released in April 2018. He is the co-founder of Latindia Studios and a member of the Speakers’ Board for the Chávez Institute for Law and Social Justice.

Eduardo attended Loyola Marymount University on a golf scholarship and graduated with a B.A. in Communications. After college, he played professional golf and studied acting in Miami and Los Angeles.

Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Michigan in Washington Program

The MIW program offers an opportunity each year for 45-50 undergraduates from any major to spend a semester (Fall or Winter) in Washington D.C. Students combine coursework with an internship that reflects their particular area of interest (such as American politics, international studies, history, the arts, public health, economics, the media, the environment, science and technology). The semester in Washington is action packed. Students work four days a week, attend an elective one evening a week and a research course on Friday mornings. They spend their weekends exploring the city and taking in cultural events. Most leave Washington longing to return.

Students are free to pursue internships of their own choosing. They are coached in internship searching strategies as part of a prep class that is taken the semester before going to D.C. Students have interned at the White House, the Smithsonian, CNN, Greenpeace, CBS, Public Defender’s Service, Washington Institute for Near East Policy, NAACP, The Brookings Institution, American Enterprise Institute, National Defense University, Partnership for Public Service, Center for American Progress, Congressional Black Caucus Foundation and many others.
FUNDING is available for this living and learning program.

A haven for Black intellectuals, artists and revolutionaries—and path of promise toward the American dream—Black colleges and universities have educated the architects of freedom movements and cultivated leaders in every field. They have been unapologetically Black for more than 150 years. For the first time ever, their story is told.

Directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker Stanley Nelson, Tell Them We Are Rising: The Story of Black Colleges and Universities examines the impact Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have had on American history, culture, and national identity. Beginning with the earliest attempts at education to today’s campuses, the 90-minute film will be screened in the DAAS Lemuel Johnson Center (5511 Haven Hall) Monday, February 19, 2018 at 6 p.m.

The project is funded with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Lumina Foundation.

DAAS Africa Workshop “Get Along without It”: Contested Domestic Desires in Imperial Sudan (February 19, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59211 59211-14717515@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 19, 2019 4:00pm

In recent scholarship and past imperial logic, the colonial marital home has stood as a symbol of civility, stability, and imperial order. However, a close examination of British civil servants’ domestic desires and relationships in Sudan reveal domesticity as a site of instability and persistent negotiation. Never formally declared a colony, Sudan’s marginal position within the British Empire resulted, in turn, in a marginalization of domestic desires, which were hidden, ignored, or relegated to “back-home” in England. Working with an expanded understanding of “domestic,” this paper traces complex and contested intimacies through a homosocial culture of bachelors, shifting relationships with Sudanese household help, and a generous yet disruptive annual leave policy. It reanimates the experiences of male and female civil servants, recasting them from fixed models of state power and instead recognizing their much more vulnerable position as desiring subjects in search of domestic care and comforts.


Marie Grace Brown (B.A., Bryn Mawr College; Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania) is an Associate Professor of Middle East History at the University of Kansas. Her award-winning first book, Khartoum at Night: Fashion and Body Politics in Imperial Sudan (Stanford University Press, 2017), argues that Sudanese women used fashion and their bodies to mark and make meaning of the shifting sociopolitical systems of imperial rule. Before her career in academia, Brown worked at a nonprofit providing legal assistance to immigrant women fleeing gender-based violence. Her research has been supported by grants and fellowships from the American Association of University Women, the Social Science Research Council, and the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation.

Environmental crisis, financial crisis, states of emergency and urgency. Crisis forms the backdrop of contemporary debates about the role of science and technology in society. Is there a "beyond crisis" when the concept itself has shaped so many of the critical tools in the humanities and social sciences? This graduate student panel will consider the insights that STS theories and methods bring to bear on discussions of various political, environmental, and financial crises in the present.

Edwin Hill's research seeks to highlight the marginalized intellectual and cultural traffic between France and the Americas. He has published and/or presented on contemporary Caribbean writers, Sub-Saharan francophone literature, African American popular music, French chanson, and francophone hip hop. Similarly, his teaching interests, while focused on black vernacular culture and France, extend from the poetry of Negritude writers to postcolonial explorations of contemporary francophone writers and musicians.

His first book Black Soundscapes White Stages: The Meaning of Sound in the Francophone Black Atlantic (Johns Hopkins UP, 2013) considers the torn aesthetic and ideological relationships between Antillean music and literature from the 1920s to 1960s to be a colonial struggle over the meaning of Caribbean vernacular culture. Informed by an interdisciplinary formation (Bachelor Degree in Music Performance, PhD in French and Francophone Studies), Black Soundscapes White Stages relocates the marginalized voices of the black diaspora through the discursive matrix of French imperialism and the cultural history of the French West Indies. The book has enjoyed positive reviews in French Studies: A Quarterly Review 68.3 (summer 2014), Comparative Literature Studies 52.3 (2015), and Contemporary French Civilization (Spring 2015).

Professor Hill's current book project, Black Static, locates rage as an sonic/affective vibration routed through the circuits of African diasporic musical culture, travel, and communication. It focuses on a range of musicians and writers, from Nina Simone and militant rap artist Casey to Frantz Fanon and Ta-Nehisi Coates. Professor Hill is also at the beginning stages a third book project: a critical biography of Léon Gontran-Damas.

Dr. Royston received his B.A. from Howard University, and Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley.

In this talk, Dr. Reynolds will discuss his on-the-ground research with tech entrepreneurs in Ghana, and his work as a digital ethnographer in African online communities. Using the broader notion of techne ("the material arts"), Dr. Royston will also describe his adjacent research projects in African podcasting, and digital dance/music subcultures in the U.S. He will demonstrate how this research in vernacular innovation informs his teaching of tech design for social impact.

From the 1880s onward English- and African- language newspapers hosted many different types of literary production: they created environments for all kinds of situated literary creations that did not in any linear sense “lead to” postcolonial literary forms. Focusing on English-language newspapers from the 1910s and 1920s, this talk will discuss three challenging writers, all pseudonymous, who share a style of writing that might be dismissed today as turgid, sermonizing, imitative, or simply “unreadable.” What kind of cultural and political encounters were articulated by such authors in writing fiction for the press? Why did they choose English above African literary languages? What kind of archive is constituted by creative writing in colonial West African newspapers?

My research focuses on the public sphere in colonial West Africa and issues of gender, sexuality, and power as articulated through popular print cultures, including newspapers, pamphlets, posters, and magazines. I study how local intellectuals–ranging from school leavers to nationalist leaders–debated moral and political issues through the medium of print. I am especially interested in the cultural histories of printing and reading in Africa, and the spaces for local creativity and subversive resistance in colonial-era newspapers. My recent research project, “The Cultural Politics of Dirt in Africa, 1880-present,” positions these interests in an interdisciplinary and comparative historical perspective, and includes the study of popular discourses about dirt in Nairobi and Lagos in relation to changing ideas about taste and disgust, sexuality, multiculturalism, and urbanization.

This lecture will focus on Nayan Shah’s current research on the international history of mass prison hunger strikes, in particular the largely unknown struggles in Tule Lake Japanese American incarceration center in 1944 and the proliferation of hunger strikes in immigrant detention in California and Texas in 2010s. The lecture previews Shah's larger upcoming book project, Refusal to Eat, which investigates the tenacious practice of hunger strikes as it grew as a potent transnational idiom of 20th and 21st century political defiance. Following his earlier work, Stranger Intimacy, Shah examines these practices through the lenses of intimacy, affect and the material cultures of bodily defiance.

Bio:
Nayan Shah is Professor of History and American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. His research examines historical struggles over bodies, space, and the exercise of state power from the mid-19th to the 21st century. Shah is the author of two award-winning books -- Stranger Intimacy: Contesting Race, Sexuality and the Law in the North American West (2011) and Contagious Divides: Epidemics and Race in San Francisco’s Chinatown (2001).

Shah's new project, Refusal to Eat, explores the transnational history of mass hunger strikes, and political struggle and medical ethical crises through 20th century and contemporary case studies drawn from U.S. and British suffrage activists, Irish Republicans, Bengali Revolutionaries, Japanese American Internees, South African anti-apartheid activists, Guantanamo prisoners, and refugees in Australia, the United States, and Europe.

Lelia Gonzalez is oftentimes remembered in Brazil as one of the most important black feminist scholars and activists of the twentieth-century. My lecture will explore her political life shaped by her international travel throughout Africa and the Americas, and how she formulated a transnational understanding of black culture, gendered anti-black racism, and the movement for black liberation. I will explore Gonzalez’s idea of “Amerifricanidade” that expresses a common black identity in the Americas that centers African heritage and that challenges the erasure of blackness and indigeneity in the construction of Latin Americanness. Gonzalez is traveling, writing, and carrying out her political activism at the same time as Abdias Nascimento and Molefi Asante, for example, but she has received little attention in the scholarship on the global black radical and feminist traditions. The political life and work of Gonzalez reminds scholars of the African diaspora precisely why black Brazilian women should be given more intellectual attention in black radical thought and why Africana Studies requires a refocus on Brazilian scholars and social movements.

-Arts Workshop (limited capacity): 4:00-5:30pm, American Culture, 3512 Haven Hall
-Artist Talk and Poetry Performance: 6:00-7:00pm. Angell Hall Auditorium D
-Reception: 7:30pm, 3512 Haven Hall. Food will be served.

The Latina/o Studies Program, the Department of American Culture, the Center for Educational Outreach and La Casa invite you to celebrate Chicano labor leader César Chávez’s enduring legacy and the richness of Latinx culture at the University of Michigan. Please join us for a very special arts workshop with visiting artists Jeff Abbey Maldonado and Dulce Santoyo, to be followed by an artist talk featuring Jeff Maldonado and including a Flor y Canto Nahuat Xochitl in Cuitcatl Flower and Song Celebration with local and student poets. Our evening will culminate with a reception in 3512 Haven Hall to celebrate the University Housing donation of Maldonado’s 1998 César Chávez mural to Latina/o Studies and American Culture.

Jeff Abbey Maldonado lives and works in Pilsen, Chicago. He has maintained his studio for the past 20 years. He studied under Mario Castillo, professor at Columbia College, who is credited with painting the first Latino mural in Chicago. Maldonado’s work has been shown nationally and internationally, including at the National Museum of Mexican Art, Chicago Cultural Center, The Field Museum, and the Chicago History Museum. Currently, he is Founder and Director of the J-Def Peace Project, which promotes youth empowerment through the arts. Dulce Santoyo is an emerging Latina artist working in Chicago.

The Chávez mural was donated to American Culture in summer 2018 thanks to the student activism of La Casa. It previously was held by University Housing—a unit of Student Life—and was displayed in the César Chávez Lounge at the Mosher-Jordan “Mo-Jo” Student Residence Hall in the Hill Neighborhood on Observatory, home to the Michigan Research Community and the Women in Science and Engineering Residence Program. The mural is an interpretation of the activism of César Chávez, born of Mexican heritage in Yuma, Arizona in 1927. Chávez founded and led the National Farm Worker's Association (NFWA), the first successful farm workers union, later known as United Farm Workers (UFW).

Events are free and open to the public.

Cities of Air: Data Visualization and Architectural Memory in the Art and Literature of Forced Disappearance (April 2, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61861 61861-15223785@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 2, 2019 4:00pm

Organized By: Comparative Literature

In this talk, Jesús Costantino examines recent works by Mexican writers and artists who reconsider the project of visualizing mass disappearance and who pointedly turn away from data—particularly the ways in which data is assembled and visualized by international human rights groups—and toward tangible artifacts and architectures. By way of the rooms, houses, buildings, debris, and other architectural sites left behind by the disappeared, these writers and artists imagine another relationship to absence that resists what they see as the false coherence and closure of visual data.


Jesús Costantino is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of New Mexico where he teaches and conducts research in American literature, film, and media. He has recently completed his first book manuscript, Boxing and the Racial Origins of Early-Twentieth-Century Media Technologies, in which he traces the racial genealogies of “presence” and “live experience” through the mutually constitutive forms of modern boxing and new visual media. He is now beginning work on a second book-length project, Under the Sign of Disaster Triumphant: The Colonial Legacies of Late-Capitalist Ruins in the Americas, in which he interrogates the ways in which depictions of contemporary urban ruin and natural disaster in the US and Latin America remediate the colonial past.

The 2011 U.S. Special Forces’ raid on Usama Bin Ladin’s (UBL) compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, recovered nearly 470,000 items. These items include internal communications among Al-Qa‘ida (AQ) members, their families and jihadis in the group’s orbit, including the leaders of the parent group of today’s Islamic State. Since these communiqués were not meant for public consumption, they contain the most reliable data of the organizational dynamics of AQ, and the nature of the group’s relationships with states and non-state actors. Lahoud is writing a book based on these internal communiqués. This presentation is divided into two parts. The first part is a guide to the declassified Abbottabad items and the process of identifying the internal communications and coding them. The second part of the presentation focuses on key differences between AQ and the parent group of today’s Islamic State, the group that has eclipsed but not defeated AQ. The Abbottabad documents allow us not just to understand the differences that eventually led to the public divorce between the two groups in February 2014, but they also explain why the Islamic State failed to endure as a territorial entity.

Nelly Lahoud is a senior fellow in New America's International Security program. Dr. Lahoud’s research has focused on the evolution and ideology of al-Qa'ida (AQ) and the ‘Islamic State’ (ISIS/ISIL). She has also published on women's role in AQ and ISIS and the use of anashid (a capella) by these two groups in their media output. She has a Ph.D. from the Research School of Social Sciences — Australian National University. She was a postdoctoral scholar at St. John’s College, University of Cambridge — UK; Rockefeller Fellow in Islamic studies at the Library of Congress; and research fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard University. Her previous appointments include being associate professor at the Department of Social Sciences and senior associate at the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point; and assistant professor of political theory, including Islamic political thought, at Goucher College. Lahoud is fluent in Arabic and French.

Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

In this talk, Nicosia Shakes analyzes a 2015 performance of the play, A Vigil for Roxie, co-created by Jamaican theatre artists, Carol Lawes, Eugene Williams, Honor Ford-Smith and Amba Chevannes. As part of the Memory, Urban Violence and Performance Project founded by Ford-Smith, Vigil for Roxie draws on the memorial practices of working-class Black Jamaican women who have lost loved ones to gang and state violence over the past three decades. Shakes utilizes a womanist paradigm to explore the racial, economic and gendered dimensions of memory, healing and justice as depicted in Vigil. By representing experiences of gang and state violence through the bodies and voices of Black women, Vigil challenges mainstream male-centered understandings of violence while creating a holistic vision of social justice involving the community, nation and wider region of the Americas.

In the 1880s, when the future of Malawi was being decided between Cecil Rhodes and the British government, Protestant missionaries from Scotland issued a series of scathing attacks on Rhodes’s imperial designs. For David Clement Scott, the most visionary amongst them, Rhodes epitomised the wrong turn that race relations would take when the territory was declared a Protectorate in 1891. Scott’s vision was of an Africa in which different races worked for the common good – “not side by side but as one”. From language learning to land tenure, the approach he advocated was no idealism detached from practical initiatives. It involved as much status reversal between white and black as it did hierarchical forbearance. By attending to some of Scott’s short-lived innovations, I ask whether the intervening century has made such decolonial thought all but impossible to comprehend in its own terms. What is the prospect of recovering de-racialized humanity, even if in a Christian key, as the critical concept in decolonial thought?

Africa Workshop “How to get away with blasphemy: the politics of religious offense in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania”. (April 16, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59214 59214-14717519@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 16, 2019 4:00pm

On April 27, 2012, Birame Abeid, a renowned Mauritanian activist planned carefully and executed the public burning of several books of Islamic jurisprudence. Nearly two years later,​ ​in December 2014, Muhamed Mkhaitir, a blogger claiming to speak for the community of “blacksmiths”, published a lengthy text in which he accuses the Prophet Muhammad himself of “favoritism." Both offenders claimed afterwards they only wanted to denounce the ways in which the local elite has been consistently using Islam and Sharia to sanction the oppression/marginalization of former slaves and other occupational groups. In so doing, these human rights activists have indeed thrown their country, a self-proclaimed Islamic Republic, into an uproar. As they no doubt must have expected, their unprecedented religious offenses sparked nationwide protests. With few exceptions, almost all political figures and religious elites campaigned for their execution for “apostasy” in accordance with the (Islamic) law of the land. Yet, despite being promptly arrested and thrown in jail, the two “defendants” were ultimately able to essentially get away with blasphemy. In this presentation, I draw on a treasure trove of qualitative data collected on the field over several years in order to demonstrate that, at least in this context, what is at stake in these "blasphemy controversies” has less to do with the usual tension between secular criticism and religious censure and more to do with ongoing public negotiations over what it means to be Muslims amid heated political debates over race, gender, social hierarchies, belonging, citizenship and inequality. Shifting the focus away from the usual framing of blasphemy accusations in terms of conflict between religious freedom and Islamic taboos, I offer a detailed comparative account of these two “cases” in order to go beyond the notion that “outdated, medieval blasphemy laws” illustrate the so-called stand-off between Islam and liberal democratic values.”

Zekeriah Ould Ahmed Salem is Associate Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University and Director of The Institute for the Study of Islamic Thought in Africa in the Program of African Studies. He specializes in Islam and Muslim Politics in Africa in comparative perspective. His research engages contemporary academic debates regarding religion and politics, especially the interplay in contemporary African societies of a variety of issues such as: the state, religious authority, race, social hierarchies, identity politics, Islamic knowledge and political power. Ahmed Salem secondary research interests include everyday negotiations over citizenship, bureaucratization and the Institutionalization of the state in Africa.

He is the author of: Prêcher dans le Desert: Islam, Politique et Changement Social en Mauritanie (published by Karthala, Paris, in 2013, with an English translation forthcoming as Preaching in the Desert: Islam, Politics and Social Change in Mauritania) and the editor of: Trajectoires d’un Etat-Frontière. Espaces, Evolutions Politiqiues et Transformations Sociales en Mauritanie (Dakar, Council for The Development of Social Research In Africa, Book Series: 2004).
His research appeared in numerous book chapters. His journal articles are published in : The Journal of North African Studies, Canadian Journal of African Studies, Nomadic Peoples, Cahiers d’études africaines, Islam et Sociétés au Sud du Sahara, Politique Africaine, Annuaire de l’Afrique du Nord, L’Ouest Saharien….

Jason Lyall is Associate Professor of Political Science and the Director of the Political Violence FieldLab at Yale University. He is also affiliated with Yale’s Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS), Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, and the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies. He is also a member of the Evidence in Governance and Politics (EGAP) network.

His research examines the effects and effectiveness of political violence in civil and conventional wars. On-going research projects are investigating (1) how violence and aid affect civilian attitudes and behavior in violent settings; (2) how ethnic inequality shapes the battlefield performance of conventional armies, including the propensity of soldiers to desert and defect; and (3) the role of airpower in modern wars. His research draws on diverse methods and languages, ranging from macrohistorical data and field, survey, and natural experiments to archival research and participant observation. He has conducted fieldwork in Russia and Afghanistan, where he served as the Technical Adviser for USAID’s Measuring the Impact of Stabilization Initiatives (MISTI) project during 2012-15.

DAAS Africa Workshop: Beauty Diplomacy: Embodying an Emerging Nation. (September 17, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65167 65167-16547438@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 17, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

Beauty pageants are big business in Nigeria. Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and discursive analysis of print and visual material, this talk examines how Nigerian beauty contests are transformed by multiple stakeholders into contested vehicles for promoting complex ideas about gender and power, ethnicity and belonging, and a rapidly changing articulation of Nigerian nationhood. I theorize beauty diplomacy as a tactic used to redeem Nigeria's poor reputation, by positioning beauty contestants - young, upwardly mobile, and ambitious women - as the aesthetic center of an ethnically diverse nation and the public face of a country on the economic rise.

Organized By: Interdisciplinary Workshop in American Politics

The Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics (IWAP) is a forum for the presentation of ongoing interdisciplinary research in American politics. Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.

“Mobilizing ‘Blackness’: From the Haitian Revolution to Now” (September 27, 2019 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/66703 66703-16770289@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 27, 2019 10:00am
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

From Negritude, to the Anti-Apartheid movement, to Mizrahi Jewish claims to being Black Panthers, to Asian/African/Caribbean coalitions in the United Kingdom, to articulations by German and French youth today, this symposium will address the ways in which “Blackness” has been mobilized to make claims on state and other resources. It will engage the anti-normative forms of living Blackness has enabled. Given these histories and contemporary articulations, it asks: Who can claim Blackness? Under what conditions and with what effect can one make this claim? To what extent does claiming Blackness lead to social change? What are the conditions for coalition around claiming Blackness? Does racism persist, even amongst people of color, in spite of this coalitional claim?

The symposium is free and open to the public and will include a special screening of the documentary Whose Streets? (2018) and the short What Kind of Power Y’All Got (2016) with a Q&A with the filmmakers to follow in Lecture Hall II of the Modern Language Building on Friday, September 27 at 7 PM.

Digital and interactive forms of scholarship challenge established practices in the Arts & Humanities. Audiovisual content, graphic interfaces, and different types of visualizations employed in new forms of presentation and publication (e.g. websites, blogs, online databases, 3D worlds) do not conform with existing concepts of scholarship, and established practices of evaluation. Bringing together 3D model making (scholarship more generally) and the work of digital scholarly editions (DSE) is in fact new, and not a series of scholarly theories and practices that have been previously deployed in the digital humanities. Although these digital vehicles powerfully disseminate and engage with scholarship, scholars who implement these ‘new’ modalities are confronted by “the same old,” established mechanisms with which to gauge ‘impact’ among one’s scholarly peers, i.e. within traditional and long-established publications. Interactive 3D visualization, despite its long tradition in humanities research, is still faced with skepticism and hesitation, not only because of the constant technological shifts and exigencies and the fragile ecosystem within which projects are being developed, but also due to their non-conventional nature that does not adhere to established “norms” and metrics. Nieves will discuss the challenges of doing social justice based work, in digital humanities, while also providing new methods and platforms for dissemination in the Global South. He is currently working on a digital book project entitled, Apartheid Heritages: A Spatial History of South Africa’s Township’s (www.apartheidheritages.org), now under consideration at Stanford University Press as part of their Mellon Foundation-funded digital publishing initiatives.

National Book Tour of Journey for Justice: The Life of Larry Itliong (October 7, 2019 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/67249 67249-16829024@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 7, 2019 11:30am
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies

In commemoration of October as Filipino American History Month, join us at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, as we host another stop on the National Book Tour of Journey for Justice: The Life of Larry Itliong, with co-author and publisher, Gayle Romasanta (from Stockton, California), on Monday, October 7, 2019.

About Journey for Justice:

In 2019-2020, Bridge and Delta Publishing in partnership with the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) and PapaLoDown Agency takes “Journey for Justice: The Life of Larry Itliong,” on a 20+ city national book tour. This is the first nonfiction illustrated children’s book about Filipino American history, and the first book ever written about Larry Itliong. The children’s book written by the late historian Dawn Bohulano Mabalon, Ph.D. with Gayle Romasanta and illustrated by Andre Sibayan, tells the story of forgotten United Farm Workers (UFW) cofounder, Larry Itliong, his migration to the United States and his lifelong fight for a farmworkers union. The city of Delano, California, was the first stop of the national book tour with events held in Seattle, WA; New York; Washington DC; Anchorage, AK; Santa Ana, CA; Houston, TX; with future stops in Southfield and Ann Arbor, MI; Milwaukee, WI; Chicago, IL; Wapato, WA; Virginia Beach, VA; Irvine, San Diego, Stockton, SF Bay Area, CA; Lancaster and Philadelphia, PA; Honolulu, HI; and more.

“Journey for Justice is a significant children’s book about a legendary pioneer in the farmworkers movement. This was the last book that FANHS National Scholar and Trustee Dr. Dawn Bohulano Mabalon, wrote before she passed away suddenly on Aug. 10, 2018. We are committed to carry on Dawn’s legacy so that people of all ages can learn more about Filipina/o American history. We support this book and strongly encourage everyone to read it and discuss it with their children, community, and educators,” shares University of Michigan Prof. Emily P. Lawsin, FANHS National Vice President.

Currently, Filipino Americans are the largest Asian American group in 10 of the 13 western states, the second largest Asian American population in the nation, and is the oldest Asian population in the nation, with hardly any mention of their contributions to U.S. history in school textbooks. This book will be the first out of a planned series of four books about Filipino American historical figures for students of all ages, from 10 and up. A free teacher’s curriculum guide created by Pin@y Educational Partnerships is available at www.bridgedelta.com.

Bridge and Delta Publisher and Owner Gayle Romasanta and the Filipino American community celebrate and aim to further Dr. Dawn Mabalon’s work to spread Filipino American history, especially “Journey for Justice: The Life of Larry Itliong,” Mabalon’s last book. Romasanta says, “She made history accessible and was a revered community activist. She not only was a scholar, but her work touched the Filipino

American community on a national scale. She not only saved the remaining Filipino neighborhood Little Manila buildings in her hometown of Stockton and named the area ‘Historic Little Manila,’ she traveled the country speaking and connecting with the community and spreading her wealth of knowledge about American history, Filipino American food history, and more. She was the leading Filipino American historian before her untimely passing.”

The Journey for Justice National Book Tour in Michigan will include a community visit to Paaralang Pilipino Language and Cultural School, which is housed in the Philippine American Community Center of Michigan, in Southfield, and a book signing reception and guest lectures at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (in WOMENSTD 151/AMCULT/ASIANPAM 102: Women’s Studies First Year Seminar on Food and Gender in Asian American Communities, and in AMCULT/ASIANPAM 310: Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies [Race & Ethnicity-Social Sciences] class on the Filipino American Experience).

While the Journey for Justice book celebrates Larry Itliong and the history of the Delano Grape Strike, it also highlights Dr. Dawn Mabalon’s life work as the co-founder of Little Manila Rising (formerly the Little Manila Foundation), Filipino American National Historical Society National Scholar and Trustee, a San Francisco State University professor, and author of multiple books including “Little Manila Is In the Heart: The Making of the Filipina/o American Community in Stockton, California” (Duke University Press, 2013).

Africa Workshop with Devaka Premawardhana (Emory) (October 8, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/67986 67986-16977577@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 8, 2019 4:00pm

Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

The so-called explosion of Pentecostal Christianity is one of contemporary Africa’s more astonishing storylines. Yet what might be gained by shifting attention from the amply documented places where Pentecostal churches flourish to the relatively unknown places where they fail? In this talk, anthropologist Devaka Premawardhana reflects on the ambivalence with which Pentecostalism has been received by the Makhuwa-speaking people of northern Mozambique. The Makhuwa are not averse to the newly arrived churches. Many relate to them powerfully, but few remain in them permanently. Premawardhana attributes this religious fluidity to pragmatic and experimental dispositions cultivated by the Makhuwa in their pre-Pentecostal pasts—through migration histories and lifecycle rituals—and carried by them into their post-Pentecostal futures.

Biography
Devaka Premawardhana’s research and teaching bring ethnographic and existential perspectives to bear on the fields of global Christianity and African religions. He is an anthropologist with extensive fieldwork experience in Makhuwa-speaking communities of Mozambique (in southeast Africa). His first book, Faith in Flux: Pentecostalism and Mobility in Rural Mozambique, explores the ambiguities of religious change among a traditionally mobile people. It contests the widely assumed narrative of a worldwide Pentecostal “explosion,” doing so on the grounds that indigenous religions often remain vibrant and influential—even in the lives of converts.Among other awards and honors, Premawardhana was named a 2017 Emerging Scholar by Diverse: Issues in Higher Education magazine. He has served on the editorial board of the Encyclopedia of Christianity in the Global South and currently sits on the steering committee of the American Academy of Religion’s African Religions unit. Before joining Emory’s department of religion in 2018, Premawardhana earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University and taught at Colorado College.Ph.D. in Religion and Anthropology, Harvard University, 2014

Organized By: Arab and Muslim American Studies (AMAS)

In honor of Latinx Heritage History Month, the Arab and Muslim American Studies Program has invited Dr. Harold D. Morales to give a lecture based on his book, Latino and Muslim in America: Race, Religion, and the Making of a New Minority, which is the first complete academic study on Latinx Muslims in the United States.

Dinner will be served!

Dr. Harold D. Morales is an Associate Professor in the department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Morgan State University where he teaches courses in religious studies and philosophy of religion. He earned his Ph.D. and M.A. in Religious Studies from the University of California Riverside and his B.A. in Philosophy from California State University Fullerton. His research focuses on the intersections between race and religion and between lived and mediated religion. He uses these critical lenses to engage Latinx religions in general and Latino Muslim groups in particular. He is the author of Latino and Muslim in America: Race, Religion, and the Making of a New Minority (2018). His work with Latino Muslim communities spans ten years of media analysis and ethnographic research in California, Texas, Georgia, Florida, New York and New Jersey.

"Latino and Muslim in America examines how so called "minority groups" are made, fragmented, and struggle for recognition in the U.S.A. The U.S. is currently poised to become the first nation whose collective minorities will outnumber the dominant population, and Latinos play no small role inthis world changing demographic shift. Even as many people view Latinos and Muslims as growing threats, Latino Muslims celebrate their intersecting identities both in their daily lives and in their mediated representations online.In this book, Harold Morales follows the lives of several Latino Muslim leaders from the 1970's to the present, and their efforts to organize and unify nationally in order to solidify the new identity group's place within the public sphere. Based on four years of ethnography, media analysis andhistorical research, Morales demonstrates how the phenomenon of Latinos converting to Islam emerges from distinctive immigration patterns and laws, urban spaces, and new media technologies that have increasingly brought Latinos and Muslims in to contact with one another. He explains this growingcommunity as part of the mass exodus out of the Catholic Church, the digitization of religion, and the growth of Islam. Latino and Muslim in America explores the racialization of religion, the framing of religious conversion experiences, the dissemination of post-colonial histories, and thedevelopment of Latino Muslim networks, to show that the categories of race, religion, and media are becoming inextricably entwined."

Organized By: Interdisciplinary Workshop in American Politics

The Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics (IWAP) is a forum for the presentation of ongoing interdisciplinary research in American politics. Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.

What are the ways in which settler colonial and Indigenous ontologies structure perception, and listening in particular? This presentation provides an overview of forms of extractive or “hungry” perception, and alternatives to these that emerge from Indigenous sensory engagement. The range of such listening practices are necessarily multiple and dependent upon the specificities of Indigenous and settler epistemes at play, it is nonetheless possible to discern historical patterns of “civilizing” the attention of Indigenous people, and ongoing settler listening practices oriented toward the instrumentalization Indigenous knowledge. In contrast, forms of Indigenous listening resurgence refuse the anthropocentrism of listening, and instead proceed from intersubjective experience between listeners and song-life.

Dylan Robinson is a xwélméxw artist and writer (Stó:lō Nation, Sqwa), and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Arts at Queen’s University. His current work focuses on the re-connection of Indigenous songs with communities who were prohibited by law to sing them as part of Canada’s Indian Act from 1882-1951. Robinson’s previous publications include the edited volumes Music and Modernity Among Indigenous Peoples of North America (2018); Arts of Engagement: Taking Aesthetic Action in and Beyond the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (2016); and Opera Indigene (2011). His monograph, Hungry Listening, is forthcoming with Minnesota University Press in early 2020. Additionally, Robinson is curator of the Ka’tarohkwi Festival of Indigenous Arts in Kingston, and along with Candice Hopkins, is curator of the internationally touring exhibition Soundings featuring “scores for decolonial action” by Indigenous artists.
