Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Comparative Literature

This event has been canceled. Plans to postpone are TBD.


CLIFF is an annual conference organized by graduate students in Comparative Literature. This year’s conference theme, “(Counter)Narratives of Migration,” stems from the current migration crises around the globe, but is not restricted to the present moment. Our conference seeks to interrogate the narrativization, visibility, and media surrounding the movement of bodies, ideas and material objects across concrete and abstract boundaries. We will explore circulation in all its forms, through its various manifestations in the arts, critical theory, and new media.

We are very pleased to announce that this year's keynote speaker will be Ariella Azoulay, Professor of Comparative Literature and filmmaker and art curator, currently teaching at Brown University. Azoulay’s work explores visual culture, offering an in-depth critique of contemporary forms of violence, imperialism and body politics. Her films, exhibitions and scholarship address gendered and racial violence, the Israel-Palestine conflict, civil engagement and human rights. We will be screening her film "Un-documented--Unlearning Imperial Plunder" at 4:30 on Friday March 13th at Palmer, Great Lakes South.

As part of the conference, we will also host a graduate student creative reading on Saturday, March 14th from 7:30-9pm at Bar 327 Braun Court.

From dissidents to villains to superheroes, how are Muslim characters written--and how does the public read them--in comic books today? This workshop explores the roles open to Muslim characters in serialized comics and graphic novels. The medium of serialized comics, commercialized in the twentieth century by mainstream comics publishers such as Marvel and DC, and epitomized by their respective superhero universes, has long been associated with a lack of racial and religious diversity, the sexualization of female characters, and a reader base that is stereotypically young, male, and white. Minority characters were often limited to tokenized villains or sidekicks designed for comic relief. But the contemporary young Muslim female superhero Ms. Marvel symbolizes a comics landscape that is changing. In the contexts of the Gulf Wars, 9/11, the Arab Spring, the Palestinian conflict, ongoing civil unrest in the Middle East, and worldwide refugee migrant crises, writers and artists from the Muslim and Arab worlds, and others writing journalistically and historically about those locales, are at the forefront of graphic medium literary production.

Graphic novels and comics by and about Muslims and Arabs comprise a growing and distinctive narrative strain within comics studies—one that this workshop of comics and Muslim and Arab Studies artists and scholars seeks to investigate.

Keynote speaker and Eisner Award-winning comics artist and science fiction and fantasy author Saladin Ahmed (*Throne of the Crescent Moon*, *Miles Morales: Spider-Man*, *Black Bolt*, *Exiles*) will speak about his new work for Marvel and other enterprises.

Chris Gavaler (*On the Origin of Superheroes: From the Big Bang to Action Comics No. 1*, 2015) explores the Islamicist history of the 20th-century superhero.

Esra Mirze Santesso (*Disorientation: Muslim Identity in Contemporary Anglophone Literature*, 2013) discusses human rights discourse in narratives of war and dissidence in Iran and Kashmir.

Karla Mallette (*European Modernity and the Arab Mediterranean*, 2010) reports on resistance to Muslim and other minority identity politics from some comics readers.

Aliyah Khan (*Far from Mecca: Globalizing the Muslim Caribbean*, 2020) examines orientalist representations of Muslim female superheroes.

The presenters bring postcolonial, decolonial, comics studies, and historicizing methodologies to bear on understanding commonalities and differences among Islamic, Muslim, and Arab graphic narratives, reading them as transnational works that, as many of their subjects do, cross borders and resist authoritarian states.

According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the following are key attributes of Learning Health
Systems:

• Having leaders who are committed to a culture of continuous learning and improvement
• Systematically gathering and applying evidence in real-time to guide care
• Employing IT methods to share new evidence with clinicians to improve decision-making
• Promoting the inclusion of patients as vital members of the learning team
• Capturing and analyzing data and care experiences to improve care
• Continually assessing outcomes, refining processes and training to create a feedback cycle for learning and improvement

The LHS Collaboratory's fall seminar series virtual kick-off event will showcase the LHS experiences of three research-intensive academic centers that have been promoting LHS methods. We will be joined by distinguished senior colleagues from Duke,Vanderbilt, and Washington University, who will describe and discuss their institutions' work in this area. They will discuss strategies employed, investments made, challenges encountered, and successes achieved.

It is impossible to ignore the evidence of the past decade - wildfires have made air on the west coast incredibly hazardous and children have been poisoned by drinking water at crucial ages of development. The environment we have created for ourselves is a serious threat to our health.

Eva Feldman, MD, PhD, Director of the NeuroNetwork for Emerging Therapies, will moderate the 30-minute mini symposium that discusses both global and local impacts that the environment has on our health. Along with Dr. Feldman, presentations will be made by Jonathan Overpeck, PhD, Dean of the School for Environment and Sustainability, who will address climate change and environmental justice; Stuart Batterman, PhD, a professor from the U-M School of Public Health, who will discuss how contaminants in the air affect your health; and Stephen Goutman, MD, MS, director of the Pranger ALS Clinic, who will talk about the association between environmental pollution and ALS.

Managing Sport Equipment Technological Advancements (February 16, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81759 81759-20951380@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 16, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: U-M Office of Research

All sports depend, to some extent, on equipment, and advances in equipment have the potential to shift an athlete's performances independent of their training and skill. This technological tension has recently shaken the sport of running in the form of shoe advances, but many other sports have experienced and managed these same strains, including swimming, cycling, tennis, speed skating, and many more. This seminar will explore how technological developments within a sport, and the associated performance advantages they afford, impact that sport sociologically. This panel will bring perspectives related to product availability and athlete sponsorship ties, cultural perception and understanding of performance, and developmental implications across myriad levels of sport (e.g., youth, Olympic, masters). This discussion will aim to inform our understanding of what is to be gained, what might be lost, and what can be managed as sport evolves with technological developments.
