Organized By: Department of Afroamerican and African Studies

Part 1: More than a century and a half after the promise of 40 acres and a mule, the story of black land ownership in America remains one of loss and dispossession. June and Angie Provost, who trace their family line to the enslaved workers on Louisiana’s sugar-cane plantations, know this story well.

On today’s episode: The Provosts spoke with Adizah Eghan and Annie Brown, producers for “1619.”
Part 2: The Provosts, a family of sugar-cane farmers in Louisiana, had worked the same land for generations. When it became harder and harder to keep hold of that land, June Provost and his wife, Angie, didn’t know why — and then a phone call changed their understanding of everything. In the finale of “1619,” we hear the rest of June and Angie’s story, and its echoes in a past case that led to the largest civil rights settlement in American history.


On today’s episode: June and Angie Provost; Adizah Eghan and Annie Brown, producers for “1619”; and Khalil Gibran Muhammad, a professor of history, race and public policy at Harvard University and the author of “The Condemnation of Blackness.”

“1619” is a New York Times audio series hosted by Nikole Hannah-Jones. You can find more information about it at nytimes.com/1619podcast.

Biography
Robert Launay is a social/cultural anthropologist trained in the United States, England, and France. He has conducted extensive field work in West Africa (specifically in Côte d’Ivoire) with Muslim minorities historically specializing in trade. His first book, Traders without Trade (Cambridge University Press), focused on how this minority was able to adapt to its loss over its former trade monopoly. His second book, Beyond the Stream: Islam and Society in a West African Town (University of California Press), which won the Amaury Talbot Prize for best African ethnography in England in 1992, dealt specifically with religious change and controversy. He has recently edited a volume on Islamic Education in Africa: Writing Boards and Blackboards (Indiana University Press, in press).

After years of teaching the history of anthropology to undergraduates and graduates alike in the department, he has begun research on the history of the discipline, publishing several articles on the history of ethnography in Africa (particularly in French) and, more extensively, on the ‘prehistory’ of the field. His recently publishd book, Savages, Despots, and Romans: The Urge to Compare and the Origins of Anthropology, traces the ways in which “modern Europeans” came to define themselves with reference to non-moderns (ancient Greeks and Romans in particular) and non-Europeans from the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries. He has edited an anthology of early sources in anthropology, Foundations of Anthropological Theory: From classical antiquity to the eighteenth century (Wiley/Blackwell 2010)

Most recently, he has begun a project on French foodways in the Midwest, in collaboration with Aurelien Mauxion, a graduate of the program who wrote his dissertation under his supervision. The project takes as its starting point the fact that the Midwest was colonized by France before it became part of the United States. They are looking at how early French settlers adapted to specifically American foods and environments, and how contemporary descendants of French settlers express their identities in terms of what they cook and eat.

In Spring 2018, Prof. Launay spoke at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, the Université Libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, the Fondazione per le Scienze Religiose Giovanni XXIII in Bologna, the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris, and the Universities of Bayreuth and Gottingen in Germany.
Research and teaching interests
The history and ‘prehistory’ of anthropological theory, as well as its contemporary developments; the anthropology of scriptural religions, with particular focus on Islam; the historical ethnography of West Africa; the anthropology of food, particularly French foodways in the American Midwest.

Marlous van Waijenburg is a comparative economic historian working on the long-term development of African economies, with a specific focus on the nature and legacies of colonialism.

PEW provides a unique forum for doctoral students and faculty members to share and develop interdisciplinary research in political economy. Political science and economics are intimately linked in both substance and methodology, and the field of political economy is among the most fertile and enduring areas for cross-disciplinary research in the social sciences. Currently, PEW is the sole interdisciplinary workshop at the University of Michigan wholly dedicated to the exploration of current research in political economy, and thus plays a valuable role in fostering connections among the university’s various departments and schools.

Party leaders are seen as the face and central control of a political party’s agenda (also possibly the legislature). This asks the question, with all this power why would a leader ever relinquish their position? Little work has looked comparatively at why leaders step down from office due to data limitations. We contribute to the literature on party politics and leader tenure by providing a new dataset of leadership changes in advanced industrial democracies from 1960-2017. This dataset includes approximately 1,400 party leaders, and it codes why leaders step down using primary and secondary sources. With these original data, we investigate the drivers of leadership change across time and space. We find that electoral loss and intra-party ousting are the most common forms of leadership change, suggesting that voters and party members have effective power to check leaders. Even though we analyze cases with different party systems and institutions our findings suggest similar outcomes. A leader’s survival is contingent on party member and voter support. We test the relationship between vote loss, incumbency status, and leadership change to understand the role of external drivers on party organization. This new data provides a unique tool for understanding party organization more broadly.

Julia Maynard is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan. She studies party politics and voting behavior mostly within the context of European Politics. Her interests are within the dynamics of mainstream parties and niche parties- how these parties react to each other as well as reasons why voters would choose one over the other.

The Interdisciplinary Workshop in Comparative Politics (IWCP) provides a platform for sharing and improving research that provides comparative perspectives on the causes and effects of political and economic processes. We have participants from Economics, the Ford School of Public Policy, the Law School, the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Mathematics, Political Science, the Ross School of Business, Sociology, Statistics, and the Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies.

Organized By: Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Methods (ISQM)

We study the causal effect of firms' lobbying activities on the misallocation of resources through the distortion of firm size. To address the endogeneity between firms' lobbying expenditure and their size, we propose a new instrument. Specifically, we measure firms' political connections based on the geographic proximity between their headquarter locations and politicians' districts in the U.S., and trace the value of these networks over time by exploiting politicians' assignment to congressional committees. We find that a 10 percent increase in lobbying expenditure leads to a 3 percent gain in revenue. To investigate the macroeconomic consequences of these effects, we develop a heterogeneous firm-level model with endogenous lobbying. Using a novel dataset that we construct, we document new stylized facts about lobbying behavior and use them, including the one from the instrument, to estimate the model. Our counterfactual analysis shows that the return to firms' lobbying activities amounts to a 22 percent decrease in aggregate productivity in the U.S.

In Song Kim's research interests include International Political Economy, Formal and Quantitative Methodology.

The goal of the Interdisciplinary Seminar in Quantitative Methods is to provide an interdisciplinary environment where researchers can present and discuss cutting-edge research in quantitative methodology. The talks are aimed at a broad audience, with emphasis on conceptual rather than technical issues. The research presented is varied, ranging from new methodological developments to applied empirical papers that use methodology in an innovative way. We welcome speakers and audiences from all disciplines and fields, including the social, natural, biomedical, and behavioral sciences.

Organized By: Political Theory Workshop (PTW)

One of the defining features of W.E.B. Du Bois’s career in the 1940’s was his return to the NAACP and subsequent participation at the United Nations Conference on International Organization (UNCIO) from April to June of 1945 as a consultant to the United States delegation. This essay traces Du Bois’s transnational democratic thought during his work with the UN and the NAACP in the 1940s and beyond. Pushing against nation-centered framings of Du Bois’s democratic politics that place the problem of racial equality within the nation, I explore how Du Bois used the language of “colonial status” and “colonial peoples” to connect domestic racial hierarchies in the United States to colonial hierarchies abroad. Focusing on unpublished speeches, essays, and correspondence, I argue that Du Bois exploits the conceptual elasticity of terms like “colonialism” and “colony” in order to build a transnational majority on a global scale, constituting what he would call in an unpublished 1935 essay, “a pragmatic program for a dark minority.” The conceptual capaciousness of the term “colony” allows Du Bois to connect disparate forms of domination across boundaries of race, nation, and empire, thus binding colonial and semi-colonial peoples together in a common program of international action. The fruition of these efforts, I argue, is Du Bois’s 1948 petition to the United Nations, An Appeal to the World. Through distinct rhetorical strategies and the appropriation of international legal discourse, Du Bois contests the bifurcation of domestic and international politics and expands the spatial scale of democracy by placing civil rights struggles in imperial context.

Adam Dahl's research and teaching interests are in American political thought, democratic theory, the politics of race and indigeneity, and political theories of empire and colonialism. His first book, Empire of the People: Settler Colonialism and the Foundations of Modern Democratic Thought (University Press of Kansas, 2018), examines the constitutive role of settler colonialism in shaping modern norms of democratic legitimacy. His current project, tentatively titled Transnational Democracy in the Americas, explores the interconnected dynamics of internationalism, anti-imperialism, and transnational citizenship in the American democratic tradition, focusing on the political thought of Ottobah Cugoano, Frederick Douglass, Randolph Bourne, W.E.B. Du Bois, C.L.R. James, and Herman Melville.

The Political Theory Workshop provides a venue for political theory-oriented scholarship broadly construed. Participants include theoretically-inclined members of social science and humanities departments across the University of Michigan, as well as institutions throughout southwest Michigan.

Organized By: Center for Social Solutions

Current debates about technological change and the future of work have a rich history. In his talk, Bachmann will be exploring some aspects of that history, drawing from his current research on James Boggs and Charles Denby, two black labor activists from Detroit. In the early 1960s, Boggs and Denby published insightful articles about the impact of automation and cybernation on the workers in Detroit's automobile plants and beyond. By teasing out some of the main ideas of their works, Richard will show that Boggs and Denby still have a lot to contribute to current discussions of the future of work.

Richard Bachmann is a first-year graduate student in the Department of History at U-M and a fellow of the Science, Technology, and Society Graduate Certificate Program. His current research focuses on the 1950s/60s debates in the U.S. and Europe about the repercussions of automation and cybernation for the labor market and society. Richard received both his B.A. (2012) and M.A. (2016) in American Studies from Leipzig University, Germany, and spent two semesters at Ohio University's Global Leadership Center in 2011 as a B.A. Plus Fellow.

Ethiopia in Theory, Theory as Memoir, Elleni Centime Zeleke

In the Invention of Africa, Valentine Mudimbe argues that when the social scientist asks about the local in Africa she inevitably ends up situating Africa as a sign of something other than itself. For Mudimbe, the social sciences are a paradigmatic cultural model that leaves the African social scientist with limited choices. Alternatively, Mudimbe advises that if we document the invention of this cultural model we can demonstrate the limits of social studies in Africa as a mode of knowledge production.
In my talk, I try to show how the commitment to science limited the capacity of the Ethiopian student movement of the 1960s and 1970s to describe what Mudimbe calls the ‘chose du texte’ of living and breathing Africans. By highlighting a link between the writings of the Ethiopian student movement and the social conditions of knowledge production I then try to connect the history of the west in Africa to the limitations in the writings of the student movement. This has provided me with a path towards a ‘recit pour soi’ – an account of myself as a path towards personal survival.
Centime Zeleke received her Ph.D. from the Graduate Program in Social and Political Thought at York University (Toronto) in 2016. Her research interests include student movements in the Horn of Africa, 20th-century state formation in Africa, as well as comparative social and political theory.

Elleni’s forthcoming book is titled Ethiopia In Theory: Revolution and Knowledge Production,1964-2016. The hardcover will be published by the Historical-Materialism Book Series at Brill in the fall of 2019. A paperback version will also be published by Haymarket Books in 2020. Ethiopia In Theory asks: what does it mean to write today about the appropriation and indigenisation of Marxist and mainstream social science ideas in an Ethiopian and African context; and, importantly, what does the archive of revolutionary thought in Africa teach us about the practice of critical theory more generally?

Elleni’s work has also appeared in the Journal of NorthEast African Studies and Callaloo: A Journal of African Diaspora Arts and Letters.

Elleni teaches courses on the Horn of Africa, African Political Thought, Critical Theory, and Histories of Capitalism.

Zeleke teaches courses on African Political Thought, Critical Theory, and Histories of Capitalism.

Brian Ikaika Klein is a doctoral candidate in environmental science, policy, and management at the University of California, Berkeley. His research integrates the study of social and ecological conditions and processes to understand resource access and governance in extractive frontier settings across the Global South. Prevailing narratives among policymakers and in popular media consistently portray these spaces as unregulated and chaotic.
Klein challenges these representations by documenting and analyzing the complex governance arrangements that order activities, manage conflict, and determine livelihoods on the extractive frontier. He presents ethnographic and historical evidence from Madagascar to elucidate the emergence, evolution, and endurance of governance institutions in gold mining communities on the island, as well as to interrogate the global, national, and local dynamics by which these institutions are shaped.
At the center of his work is a commitment to producing policy-relevant research informed by interdisciplinary political-ecological analysis interested in achieving more equitable and sustainable development outcomes for smallholder resource extractors and rural communities–in Madagascar, and across sub-Saharan Africa.
Klein’s research has won support from the National Science Foundation, UC Berkeley’s Center for African Studies, and UC Berkeley’s Center for the Study of Law and Society (among other divisions on campus). His agenda for future research comprises extending this analysis to build a broader comparative project on frontier governance; examining the consequences of Chinese state-corporate investments and interventions in Africa’s extractive resource sectors for local institutions and livelihoods; and investigating the ways in which the growth of industries related to climate change mitigation is generating new globally-networked and locally-embedded mineral economies. He is also collaborating with U4/USAID/WWF as an expert consultant on natural resource governance and corruption in Madagascar.

Choy’s seminal solos include, “Comfort Woman” and “Wild Rice.” She has also created solos around the themes—“Sea Series” and “Blood Series.” Her women-centered stories created since the mid-1990s, integrate her foundations in Korean dance, Javanese dance, and martial arts.

Her company has performed around the world—at New York’s Dance Theater Workshop, La Mama E.T.C., and Alvin Ailey Studio, DC’s Kennedy Center, Dance Place and the Smithsonian Institution, Kennedy Theater in Honolulu, Utan Kayu in Jakarta, Seoul Art Center in Korea, Danza Teatro Retazos in Havana, and Baráčnická Rychta in Prague, and the Korean Cultural Center in Berlin.

Choy's national and international awards include an NEA/Atlantic Center for the Arts fellowship, Danspace Project's Commissioning Initiative, Princeton and Cornell University commissions, and commissions from the Kintari Foundation, Seoul Selection, and Cafe Intarsia.
