Living Poetry / Braving Joy: Naomi Long Madgett + Gabrielle Civil (March 19, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59388 59388-14737056@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 19, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Hopwood Awards Program

Naomi Long Madgett and Gabrielle Civil will join us in the Hopwood Room for a public conversation about living a literary life: What does it mean to be a black woman / poet today? How has the role or impact of poetry changed? What’s most vital in a poet’s education? How can we rethink and reclaim publishing? How we can bridge the divides between different schools of poetry? How can we reconcile the ivory tower and the community center? What can poetry do in our communities? What good books are we reading (songs are we singing, art are we seeing)? What do we love? How can we brave joy?

About the presenters:

Mentored by poet Langston Hughes, Naomi Long Madgett moved to Detroit in 1946. In the 1960s, she joined a group of African American writers who met regularly at Boone House, including Margaret Danner, Dudley Randall and Oliver LaGrone. Madgett was named Detroit poet laureate in 2001. In her poetry, influenced by the work of Emily Dickinson, John Keats, and Langston Hughes, Madgett often engages themes of civil rights and African American spirituality. She is the author of numerous collections of poetry, including One and the Many (1956), Exits and Entrances (1978), and Octavia and Other Poems (1988, reissued and expanded in 2002). In 1972, Madgett founded Lotus Press. She edited the anthology Adam of Ifé: Black Women in Praise of Black Men (1992), and her own work was included in the anthologies The Poetry of the Negro, 1746–1949 (1949, edited by Langston Hughes) and Ten: Anthology of Detroit Poets (1968, edited by Oliver LaGrone). A selection of her papers, documenting her poetry career and the history of Lotus Press, is held by the University of Michigan’s Special Collections Library.

Gabrielle Civil is a black feminist performance artist, originally from Detroit, MI. She has premiered fifty original solo and collaborative performance works around the world. Signature themes included race, body, art, politics, grief, and desire. Since 2014, she has been performing “Say My Name” (an action for 270 abducted Nigerian girls)” as an act of embodied remembering. She is the author of Swallow the Fish and Tourist Art (with Vladimir Cybil Charlier). She currently teaches Creative Writing and Critical Studies at the California Institute of the Arts. The aim of her work is to open up space.Experiments in Joy is forthcoming from CCM Press.

A/PIA Studies Lecture: Refusal to Eat (March 19, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59116 59116-14684212@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 19, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Haven Hall
Organized By: Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies

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.

Organized By: Sweetland Center for Writing

Sweetland Center for Writing's Writer to Writer series lets you hear directly from University of Michigan professors about their challenges, processes, and expectations as writers and also as readers of student writing. Each semester, Writer to Writer pairs one esteemed University professor with a Sweetland faculty member for a conversation about writing.

This month Writer to Writer welcomes Ellen Muehlberger. Ellen Muehlberger is Associate Professor of Christianity in late antiquity in the departments of Middle East Studies and History at the University of Michigan, where she teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on ancient history, contemporary religious traditions, scholarly methods, and Coptic and Syriac language. Muehlberger has held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies. She edited Practice, a 2017 collection of newly-translated primary sources about early Christian education, asceticism, and reading for the series Cambridge Editions of Early Christian Writings, and her new book, Moment of Reckoning: Imagined Death and Its Consequences in Late Ancient Christianity (Oxford) will be available at Literati for purchase.

Writer to Writer takes place at the Literati bookstore (124 E. Washington) on Tuesday, March 19th from 7-8pm and is also broadcast live on WCBN radio (88.3FM). These conversations offer students a rare glimpse into the writing that professors do outside the classroom. You can hear instructors from various disciplines describe how they handle the same challenges student writers face, from finding a thesis to managing deadlines. Professors will also discuss what they want from student writers in their courses, and will take questions put forth by students and by other members of the University community. If there's anything you've ever wanted to ask a professor about writing, Writer to Writer gives you the chance.

Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Single-cell RNA-seq is a powerful technology for identifying novel and known cell types, however its power is limited to organisms with well-annotated genomes. We present a reference-free method to compare single cells both within and across species. In this method, k-mers from each cell’s RNA-seq profile are randomly subsampled into a compressed representation called a “sketch” using document comparison algorithms of MinHash or HyperLogLog. For within-species comparison, the RNA sketches are sufficient, but as protein sequence is more stable across species, we translate the RNA k-mers into protein k-mers with 6-frame translation, discarding all protein k-mers containing stop codons. We show this method can “lift over” single-cell RNA-seq annotations from mouse to human and compare to using purely 1:1 mapping orthologous genes. Thus, k-mer sketches are an efficient method to find shared and unique cell types both within and across species without need for a reference genome or transcriptome.

BLI Speaker Series: What's going on in the world of work? (March 20, 2019 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61871 61871-15223795@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 20, 2019 5:30pm

Organized By: Barger Leadership Institute

The recipe for career success used to be clear: get into the best college you can, study something practical, take a job with a name-brand corporation, work your way up the career ladder, and retire to Boca with a company pension and health plan.

But with the corporate world dis-integrating, careers turned into jobs and now jobs are turning into gigs. What are the opportunities and hazards for leaders in this new world of work? Does everyone have to learn Python and SQL, or can you get by on great soft skills?
This talk has all the answers.

Jerry Davis is the Associate Dean for Business+Impact at Michigan Ross, Gilbert and Ruth Whitaker Professor of Business Administration, and Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan. He received his PhD from the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. He has published widely in management, sociology, and finance.

Davis’s research is broadly concerned with the effects of finance on society. Recent writings examine how ideas about corporate social responsibility have evolved to meet changes in the structures and geographic footprint of multinational corporations; whether "shareholder capitalism" is still a viable model for economic development; how income inequality in an economy is related to corporate size and structure; why theories about organizations do (or do not) progress; how architecture shapes social networks and innovation in organizations; why stock markets spread to some countries and not others; and whether there exist viable organizational alternatives to shareholder-owned corporations in the United States.

The Barger Leadership Institute (BLI) is a student-powered, faculty-guided community dedicated to developing student leadership learning and practice. The BLI Speaker Series offers an opportunity to explore the rich body of research about engaged leadership and to hear from faculty, organizational leaders and alumni who have worked to develop their own leadership capacity.

LACS Lecture. Asylum Journey: Ten Years in the US Immigration System (March 20, 2019 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61689 61689-15170138@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 20, 2019 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

Emilio Gutiérrez Soto, Journalist and U-M Knight-Wallace Fellow, and his son Oscar Gutiérrez Soto will be sharing their personal 10-year journey through the US immigration system.

In 2008, Emilio applied for asylum to escape death threats stemming from his journalistic exposure of military corruption in Mexico. During the first seven months of living in the US, Emilio and Oscar were in a detention facility before being released with work permits. In July 2017, after nearly 10 years of living in the US, the asylum case was denied and their attorney quickly filed to reopen the case. During a regular ICE check-up in December, 2017 Emilio and Oscar were almost deported and then detained in an ICE facility in El Paso, Texas for eight months. Upon release, Emilio accepted the 2018 U-M Knights Wallace Fellowship and joined the University of Michigan this year. Emilio was awarded the John Aubuchon Press Freedom Award by the National Press Club in 2017 and organizations such as the U-M Knights Wallace Foundation, Reporters without Borders, the National Press Club, and the Society of Professional Journalists have advocated on his behalf.

This event will take place at the International House Ann Arbor.

How do we define memes? How have they come to define us? How can we critically analyze these ubiquitous pools of relief from near-constant existential dread? Navigate your browser/person to the Duderstadt Center Design Studio at 7 PM on Wednesdays for this interactive discussion + workshop with Michelle Sheng.

This series is a Duderstadt Center MicroFellowship project lead by Michelle Sheng, a senior in Computer Science and Art & Design who grew up on the internet. Virtual spaces and languages are her home away from home. She hopes to analyze it as critically as any other space that shapes people. As a digital citizen, her favorite hobbies are checking international Google doodles, ranking meme variants, and bookmarking webpages she'll never read like clipping photos out of travel magazines.

Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar

Abstract: Modern challenges of an increasingly digital healthcare system include (1) data quality is not a priority for busy clinicians, (2) data can be non-standardized across health systems, (3) observations from Big Data are often not prioritized and may disrupt clinical workflow, and (4) data collected by varying healthcare teams are often not integrated. Such problems can limit the effectiveness of medical care delivery, and are currently being tackled by clinician collaboratives such as the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group (MPOG). Using the MPOG collaborative as an example, this talk describes how software tools are used to assimilate large arrays of diverse health data and present complex medical inferences to clinicians in a reliable, intuitive, and non-disruptive manner.

Islamic Peace Studies Conference. The Abode of Peace: Spirituality and Harmony in Islam (March 21, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60785 60785-14963968@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 21, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

This conference explores the spiritual dimension of peace in Islam. Negative peace has been defined as the absence of violent conflict and concerns security arrangements. Positive peace has been defined as actions, policies, and attitudes that promote peace. Our concern here is with positive peace, and with its inner manifestations, in affect, attitude and personal behavior. Sufism has been a major site of such peace-related themes, but they appear in other arenas of Islamic practice as well.

This conference includes:

Thursday, March 21, 6:00–9:00 p.m., Michigan Room, Michigan League
Evening Keynote, “Reframing Peace: Muslim Stories of Peacemaking for the 21st Century,” with Dr. Irfan Omar (Marquette University) at 7:00 pm.
Dinner starts at 6:00 pm.

  Today, we live inside the digital. Increasingly, our public and private lives are conducted online and in digital space where our relationships are forged, nurtured, or deleted, where our bills are paid and finances tracked, and where our ideologies are fed and our politics balkanized by our respective media bubbles. And while the digital now constitutes more and more of our daily routines, it can also offer a distorting abstraction of “external life.” Swiping left is easier than breaking up, and even the most civil among us can become an entitled consumer on Yelp. At once, our digital environments offer new grounds for engagement and interaction, and immersive venues for escape from the exigencies of the outside world. This session will discuss this dialectic.   Panelists will include Aubrey Anable (Carleton University), Amy Kulper (Rhode Island School of Design), and Jose Sanchez (University of Southern California). Join us for presentations and a discussion about the digital as both a totalizing environment unto itself – a bubble apart from the external lifeworld – and a new venue for social organization and engagement.

Aubrey’s research examines digital aesthetics, video games, and virtual reality in conversation with feminist and queer theory. Her book Playing with Feelings: Video Games and Affect (University of Minnesota Press, 2018) provides an account of how video games compel us to play and why they constitute a contemporary structure of feeling emerging alongside the last sixty years of computerized living. She’s an advisory editor for the journal Camera Obscura and is currently co-editing The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Visual Culture.

Jose Sanchez

Jose Sanchez is an Architect / Programmer / Game Designer based in Los Angeles, California. He is the director of the Plethora Project, a research and learning project investing in the future of on-line open-source knowledge. He is also the creator of Block’hood, an award-winning city building video game exploring notions of crowdsourced urbanism. He has taught and guest lectured in several renowned institutions across the world, including the Architectural Association in London, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London.

Today, he is an Assistant Professor at USC School of Architecture in Los Angeles. His research ‘Gamescapes’, explores generative interfaces in the form of video games, speculating in modes of intelligence augmentation, combinatorics and open systems as a design medium.

Amy Kulper

Amy Catania Kulper is an architectural educator whose teaching and research focus on the intersections of history, theory, and criticism with design. Throughout her career, Kulper has taught at Cambridge University, the University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, SCI_Arc, the University of Michigan, and RISD where she is currently an Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Architecture. In her time in Ann Arbor, she was a four-time recipient of the Donna M. Salzer Award for teaching excellence.

In 2012 the first 4K resolution screen became available on the commercial market at the common 30” desktop size, making it possible for a user with 20/20 vision seated 24” away from a computer screen to be confronted with the same amount of visual information as could be experienced in the surrounding environment. This development brought verisimilitude to another realm that has gradually emerged for decades, the constitution of the digital sphere as a kind of environment itself. Today, we live inside the digital. Increasingly, our public and private lives are conducted online and in digital space where our relationships are forged, nurtured, or deleted, where our bills are paid and finances tracked, and where our ideologies are fed and our politics balkanized by our respective media bubbles. And while the digital now constitutes more and more of our daily routines, it can also offer a distorting abstraction of “external life.” Swiping left is easier than breaking up, and even the most civil among us can become an entitled consumer on Yelp. At once, our digital environments offer new grounds for engagement and interaction, and immersive venues for escape from the exigencies of the outside world. This session will discuss this dialectic. Drawing contributors from across art, architecture, design, and media studies, we will examine the digital as both a totalizing environment unto itself – a bubble apart from the external lifeworld – and a new venue for social organization and engagement.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

The Islamophobia Working Group (IWG) was assembled in January 2016 to address the national crisis of Islamophobia and its impact on our campus community. We -- a group of faculty, staff, and students -- have become actively involved in the University’s strategic plan for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and gained visibility across the university. For over two years, the IWG has been run through the Arab and Muslim American Studies Program in American Culture; starting in Fall 2018, the IWG will be co-led by AMAS and CMENAS.

Our work is driven by issues brought to the group by any student, staff, or faculty member. The group strategizes as a collective to figure out the best approach to a given issue. Thus, if you encounter a pertinent issue, we want to know about it and we welcome your participation in the group.

If you would like to join our email list or come to a meeting, please contact Professor Samer Ali (samerali@umich.edu), or IWG student coordinator, Silan Fadlallah (silanf@umich.edu).

CSEAS Film Series. “Yanan,” a film by Mae Caralde. Film screening followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker. (March 22, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59601 59601-14754554@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 22, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

Ka Yanan, a member of the Philippine revolutionary movement, died during an encounter with government troops in 2012, and is survived by a son and two daughters. The film shows how the revolutionary’s children, grown into young adulthood, cope with their grief and pay homage to their departed mother. As they ponder their memories of Ka Yanan and the cause to which she pledged her life, they find among her possessions poems, letters, and recordings. Kept away for 15 years, the materials reveal aspects of Ka Yanan’s personal and political struggles that her children had previously not fully grasped.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

Join us for a free double feature screening of "Chernobyl Heart" and "White Horse", followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Maryann De Leo and Residential College and Slavic Languages and Literatures professor Herb Eagle.

Maryann De Leo is an American director and producer. She has been working in documentary
filmmaking for over twenty years. Her work addresses timely issues under the umbrella of social justice, such as gender-based violence (Rape: Cries from the Heartland, 1991 and Terror at Home, 2005), mental illness (Bellevue: Inside Out, 2001), and urban blight (High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell, 1995). De Leo has received numerous awards, including an Academy Award for Chernobyl Heart, 2003.

Chernobyl Heart (39 min.) is an Oscar-winning documentary about the effects of radiation on the children of Belarus, 16 years after the accident at the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl. The film begins with the journey into the exclusion zone, driving to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and follows the invisible trail of radiation to the country's hospitals, cancer centers, orphanages, and mental asylums, where the children live, or are being treated for their disease.

White Horse (17 min.) is a short documentary by filmmakers Maryann De Leo and Christophe Bisson that features a man (Maxym Surkov) returning to his Ukraine home for the first time in twenty years. Evacuated from the city of Pripyat, Ukraine in 1986 due to the Chernobyl disaster, he has not returned since then. White Horse was nominated for a Golden Bear in the 2008 Berlinale.

This presentation examines how judicial litigation about the freedom of formerly enslaved black soldiers in late 1820s Montevideo shaped the first arguments about the abolition of slavery in the newly created country of Uruguay. Spanish diarist José María Márquez, who occupied the position of “Public Attorney for the Poor and Slaves” in Montevideo, published in his newspaper stories about the black soldiers he defended. This news became the first public arena to discuss the complete abolition of slavery. The actions of former slaves then black soldiers and their negotiations to secure freedom provided strong arguments and nationalist bases for conceiving a plan for full abolition. Through the lens of these actions and the communication between the courts and the public arena, here we examine judicial actions as one of the sources of abolitionism in the newly formed Spanish American republics, instead of Anglo-centric and North Atlantic models of abolitionist societies and newspapers.

Alex Borucki is associate professor of history in the University of California, Irvine, where he also is director of the Latin American Studies Center. He is the author of From Shipmates to Soldiers: Emerging Black Identities in the Río de la Plata (University of New Mexico Press, 2015), which was finalist of the 2016 Harriet Tubman Book Prize. Apart from Spanish-language books and articles published in Argentina and Uruguay, he has published articles on the slave trade and the African diaspora in the American Historical Review, Hispanic American Historical Review, Colonial Latin American Review, The Americas, History in Africa, Itinerario, Atlantic Studies, and Slavery and Abolition.

This event is generously co-sponsored by the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures and the Department of History at the University of Michigan.

The Threat to Global Press Freedom: Censorship, Imprisonment and Murder (March 26, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61744 61744-15179069@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 26, 2019 3:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Wallace House Center for Journalists

Harmful rhetoric towards journalists and the press casts doubt about the future of a free press and the safety of reporters. This was evident following the murders of five staff members at the Capital Gazette and Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. As democratic nations fall short in protecting press freedom, what are the implications for journalists of all nations? In alarming numbers, reporters around the world are persecuted, jailed, exiled and even killed for exposing the truth.

Knight-Wallace international journalists Vanessa Gezari of The Intercept, Itai Anghel of Israeli TV, and Jawad Sukhanyar of The New York Times will discuss how threats and state censorship impact their work. In a discussion led by the University’s media law and First Amendment scholar Professor Leonard Niehoff, they will share their experiences reporting from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South Asia and Africa and discuss what can be done to protect journalists and foster press freedom around the world.

The Eisendrath Symposium honors Charles R. Eisendrath, former director of Wallace House, and his lifelong commitment to international journalism.

-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.

Round-table: Exploring Border Security and Migration in 2019
MARCH 29, 12-2 PM, ANGELL HALL, AUDITORIUM B

We will discuss the realities currently experienced by migrants along the US/Mexico border and the history of America’s border security paradigm known as “Prevention Through Deterrence.” Given the heightened discussion in recent months about the supposed dangers posed by migrants and the potential role that a border wall would play in securing America’s southern geopolitical boundary, this roundtable seeks to facilitate an open and frank discussion about what migration currently looks like, who is migrating, and why. In addition to facilitating a conversation about the lives of migrants, our panelists will also discuss the important roles of history, storytelling, art, and film in the telling and (re) presentation of nuanced information about America’s current border crisis. Of particular interest is how the panelists seek to tell new and impactful stories about about a social process that has a deep history and often overdetermined by simplistic tropes such as the “noble migrant” and “foreign invader.”

Moderator: DANIEL NEMSER, Romance Languages and Literatures

Next generation and single cell sequencing have ushered in an era of big data in biology. These data present an unprecedented opportunity to learn new mechanisms and ask unasked questions. Matrix factorization (MF) techniques can reveal low-dimensional structure from high-dimensional data to uncover new biological knowledge. The knowledge of gained from low dimensional features in training data can also be transferred to new datasets to relate disparate model systems and data modalities. We illustrate the power of these techniques for interpretation of high dimensional data through case studies in postmortem tissues from GTEx, acquired therapeutic resistance in cancer, and developmental biology.

Navigate your browser/person to the Duderstadt Center Design Studio at 7 PM on Wednesdays for this interactive discussion + workshop with Michelle Sheng.

This series is a Duderstadt Center MicroFellowship project lead by Michelle Sheng, a senior in Computer Science and Art & Design who grew up on the internet. Virtual spaces and languages are her home away from home. She hopes to analyze it as critically as any other space that shapes people. As a digital citizen, her favorite hobbies are checking international Google doodles, ranking meme variants, and bookmarking webpages she'll never read like clipping photos out of travel magazines.

Round-table: Exploring Border Security and Migration in 2019
MARCH 29, 12-2 PM, ANGELL HALL, AUDITORIUM B

We will discuss the realities currently experienced by migrants along the US/Mexico border and the history of America’s border security paradigm known as “Prevention Through Deterrence.” Given the heightened discussion in recent months about the supposed dangers posed by migrants and the potential role that a border wall would play in securing America’s southern geopolitical boundary, this roundtable seeks to facilitate an open and frank discussion about what migration currently looks like, who is migrating, and why. In addition to facilitating a conversation about the lives of migrants, our panelists will also discuss the important roles of history, storytelling, art, and film in the telling and (re) presentation of nuanced information about America’s current border crisis. Of particular interest is how the panelists seek to tell new and impactful stories about about a social process that has a deep history and often overdetermined by simplistic tropes such as the “noble migrant” and “foreign invader.”

CSEAS Friday Lecture Series. Neither Mahāyāna Nor Theravāda: Ashin Jinarakkhita and the Indonesian Buddhayāna Movement (March 29, 2019 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/58861 58861-14567900@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 29, 2019 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

Widely regarded as the first Indonesian-born Buddhist monk (biksu pertama putra Indonesia), Ashin Jinarakkhita took it as his mission to propagate Buddhism in the archipelago nation. His Buddhayāna movement, which combined the doctrines and practices of Mahāyāna and Theravāda Buddhism, had a profound impact in Indonesia during the second half of the twentieth century. Ashin Jinarakkhita established an inclusive and nonsectarian monastic community, consisting of Sangha from various Buddhist traditions. He crafted a vision of Indonesian Buddhism as a diverse, yet unified religion in line with the motto of “Unity in Diversity” (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika) of the modern Indonesian nation. Later, he introduced the concept of “Sang Hyang Adi-Buddha” to make Buddhism compatible with the first principle of the Pancasila, the five philosophical pillars of Indonesia during the New Order era (1966–98). The Buddhayāna movement continues to attract a following of Indonesian people in the twenty-first century.

This presentation draws upon Ashin Jinarakkhita’s career to reconsider the category of Southeast Asian Buddhism in Buddhist Studies. I argue for the need to broaden the category of Southeast Asian Buddhism beyond Theravāda Buddhism on mainland Southeast Asia to include varied forms of Buddhism in maritime Southeast Asia that use Mandarin Chinese, Southern Chinese dialects, and Southeast Asian languages in their liturgy and scriptures. Ashin Jinarakkhita’s Buddhayāna movement, which promoted nonsectarian doctrines and practices to be in line with the national discourse of “Unity in Diversity,” was a calculated strategy to ensure the survival of Buddhism as a minority religion in the world’s largest Muslim nation.

Jack Meng-Tat Chia is a Senior Tutor in the Department of History at the National University of Singapore and currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Buddhist Studies, University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on Buddhism in maritime Southeast Asia, Chinese popular religion, overseas Chinese history, and Southeast Asia-China interactions. He is currently completing his first book manuscript titled “Monks in Motion: Buddhism and Modernity across the South China Sea,” which explores the history of Buddhism in inter-Asian contexts and the intersections between national and Buddhist institutional projects in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Chia is co-editor of Living with Myths in Singapore (2017) and has published articles in journals such as Archiv Orientální, Asian Ethnology, China Quarterly, History of Religions, Journal of Chinese Religions, Material Religion, and Sojourn. His next book project, “Beyond the Borobudur: Buddhism in Postcolonial Indonesia,” focuses on the history and development of Buddhism in the world’s largest Muslim country since 1945.

Betty Ch'maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture: "Soul Survivals: Black Music and the Language of Resilience" (April 1, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57493 57493-14202431@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 1, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Department of American Culture

In addition to the lecture, we've arranged an informal lunch and conversation for graduate students with Professor Lordi earlier at noon. Having written for The New Yorker, Pitchfork, The Root, and the famed 33 1/3 music series, Lordi will be discussing and answering questions about writing for a broader public. Please RSVP here by Thurs, Mar 28: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJMQWSf2Z_NlcDgAeLkPRCJ_bCydAl9t2zSGnFs_2kpKlSqA/viewform

Soul is in the air again. Each day seems to bring a new documentary, biography, posthumous record release, or Lifetime Achievement Award for such artists as Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Nina Simone, and Marvin Gaye. This talk asks what is at stake in the national soul revival, and offers new ways to conceive of the music called soul, both in the Black Power era and in the 21st century. Reading recent representations of the music alongside earlier recordings and performances, I posit soul as a mutable legacy of collective black resilience—one that at times reproduces and at other times resists the individualizing thrust of neoliberal ideology.

The Department of American Culture has invited Emily Lordi, an Associate Professor of English at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, to give the inaugural Betty Ch’maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture, an annual event established to honor the legacy of Ch’maj, the first Ph.D. of the American Culture program at the University of Michigan. Professor Lordi’s public talk will take place on Monday, April 1, 4-5:30 at Room 100 at the Hatcher Library Gallery. Her talk will draw from her forthcoming monograph Keeping On: Soul, Black Music, Resilience.

Professor Lordi is the author of Black Resonance: Iconic Women Singers and African American Literature (2013), and Donny Hathaway Live (2016), part of the famed 33 1/3 popular music book series published by Bloomsbury. Professor Lordi has published in prominent journals such as the Journal of Popular Music Studies, New Centennial Review, and Palimpsest, as well as edited volumes like The Cambridge Companion to the American Modernist Novel, and the forthcoming Keywords in African American Studies. In addition to scholarly publication, Professor Lordi has been a regular contributor to prestigious venues like The New Yorker, The Atlantic, NPR, The Root, The Fader, and the Los Angeles Review of Books as a cultural critic. She received a B.A. at Vassar College in 2001, and her Ph.D. at Columbia University in 2009.

About the Betty Ch’maj Lecture: With generous support from the Ch’maj family, the Annual Betty Ch’maj Distinguished American Studies Lecture Series was established to honor the legacy of Betty Ch’maj. Ch'maj, who was awarded the very first Ph.D. in American Culture in 1961 at Michigan, continued her career researching American literature and music, founding the Radical Caucus of ASA, and working to challenge systematic gender discrimination in American Studies programs.

Queer Spiritual Drifting: Site-Specific Performance and Writing

Tuesday, April 2, 2019
6:00pm
Walgreen Drama Center, Room B207

How can drifting find space on the page? Let’s think together about connections between performance practice and writing, about embodiment and the page, and about widening audiencing procedures for performance. In 2017, Petra Kuppers travelled to Belgium and the Netherlands as part of an Olimpias disability performance exploration of queer spiritual asylum spaces. In this talk, Petra will discuss these performance actions and the resulting publication, a travelogue essay in Performance Research, ‘Queer Spiritual Drifting: Not at home in The Beguinage.’

The Center for World Performance Studies Faculty Lecture Series features our Faculty Fellows and visiting scholars and practitioners in the fields of ethnography and performance. Designed to create an informal and intimate setting for intellectual exchange among students, scholars, and the community, faculty are invited to present their work in an interactive and performative fashion.

This series is a Duderstadt Center MicroFellowship project lead by Michelle Sheng, a senior in Computer Science and Art & Design who grew up on the internet. Virtual spaces and languages are her home away from home. She hopes to analyze it as critically as any other space that shapes people. As a digital citizen, her favorite hobbies are checking international Google doodles, ranking meme variants, and bookmarking webpages she'll never read like clipping photos out of travel magazines.

ESPApers: Open Access for Open Science (April 4, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62653 62653-15416723@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 4, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building
Organized By: Engaging Scientists in Policy and Advocacy

ESPA is happy to announce a new event series entitled ‘ESPApers’, a Science-Related Current Events Journal Club to foster a healthy and informal discussion. The plan is to hold a monthly journal club-like discussion, through selecting science-related current topics of interest to both scientists and the public, and deconstructing articles and white papers of differing opinions. Finally, we are collaborating with MiSciWriters for these events with the goal of writing a blog post summarizing the discussion of the group each month.

Our first topic will delve into discussing open access publishing of scholarly articles. What are the benefits and responsibilities of researchers to be open and transparent with their research findings to the public? What are the drawbacks, risks and considerations related to moving towards completely open access? We will explore both sides of the debate, using the following short reads to lead the discussion:
Open Access: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - https://bitesizebio.com/34520/open-access-good-bad-ugly/
UC terminates subscriptions with Elsevier - https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/press-room/uc-terminates-subscriptions-worlds-largest-scientific-publisher-push-open-access-publicly
Free Access to Science Research Doesn't Benefit Everyone - https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/12/free-access-to-science-research-doesnt-benefit-everyone/383875/

Please RSVP, we will have coffee and some snacks, please bring your own bagged lunch! Also suggest new topics for future meetings and let us know of your interest in writing a future summary blog post. We look forward to seeing you at the first ESPApers event!

CSEAS Friday Lecture Series. The Thousand Year Old Stolen Burmese Buddha Who Traveled The World And The Saga Of Its Return (April 5, 2019 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/58862 58862-14567901@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 5, 2019 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

This presentation will profile the return of a rare Buddha image that was stolen from a remote temple in Bagan in 1988 and would travel around the world before finally being returned to its home country in 2012. This long saga, which involved looters, antique dealers, art historians, lawyers, ambassadors and curators, demonstrates the intricate complexities in restituting objects. The priceless sculpture was transported from Myanmar (also known as Burma) to Bangkok, San Francisco, New York, Chicago and Paris. It would be saved from the auction block, before drawing the involvement of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and becoming the subject of a precedent setting lawsuit for antiquities.

This research explored the different phases of this complex and successful story but also question how to implement restitutions most efficiently in the 21st century. Indeed, as the themes behind this stolen Buddha’s history have wider resonance for the region. Southeast Asian policymakers have been debating for decades on how to best protect their national heritage from criminals, while fighting for the restitution of stolen artworks. While the level success within each country has varied, much remains to be done in facing the continuing challenge of art trafficking.

Organized By: Native American Studies

Native American Studies at the University of Michigan presents the 2019 Robert F. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: An Evening With Mary Kathryn Nagle
"Native Theater in the 21st Century: Piercing the Invisibility and Restoring Our Humanity"

This event is free and open to the public. There will be a catered reception to follow the lecture.

Mary Kathryn Nagle is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation. She currently serves as the Executive Director of the Yale Indigenous Performing Arts Program. She is also a partner at Pipestem Law, P.C., where she works to protect tribal sovereignty and the inherent right of Indian Nations to protect their women and children from domestic violence and sexual assault. Nagle has authored numerous briefs in federal appellate courts, including the United States Supreme Court. Nagle studied theater and social justice at Georgetown University as an undergraduate student, and received her J.D. from Tulane Law School where she graduated summe cum laude and received the John Minor Wisdom Award. She is a frequent speaker at law schools and symposia across the country. Her articles have been published in law review journals including the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender, Yale Law Journal (online forum), Tulsa Law Review, and Tulane Law Review, among others.

Nagle is an alumn of the 2012 PUBLIC THEATER Emerging Writers Group, where she developed her play “Manahatta” in PUBLIC STUDIO (May 2014). Productions include “Miss Lead” (Amerinda, 59E59, January 2014), and “Fairly Traceable” (Native Voices at the Autry, March 2017), “Sovereignty” (Arena Stage), “Manahatta” (Oregon Shakespeare Festival), and Return to Niobrara (Rose Theater). In 2019, Portland Center Stage will produce the world premiere of “Crossing Mnisose.”

Nagle has received commissions from Arena Stage (“Sovereignty”), the Rose Theater (“Return to Niobrara,” Omaha, Nebraska), Portland Center Stage (“Mnisose”), Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Yale Repertory Theatre (“A Pipe for February”), and Round House Theater.

The Berkhofer Lecture series (named for a former U-M professor and founder of the field of Native American studies) was established in 2014 by an alumni gift from the Dan and Carmen Brenner family of Seattle, Washington. In close consultation with the Brenners, Native American Studies decided to create a public lecture series featuring prominent, marquee speakers who would draw audiences from different communities (faculty and students, Ann Arbor and Detroit, and Michigan tribal communities as well as writers and readers of all persuasions). Native American students at U-M have consistently expressed their desire to make Native Americans more visible both on campus and off, and we believe that this lecture takes a meaningful step in that direction. Additionally, because of the statewide publicity it generates, we think it is already becoming another recruitment incentive for Native American students. It goes without saying that the speakers we are inviting provide tremendous value to the mission and work of Native American Studies at U-M.

LACS Lecture. On Marketing and Militarism: Demobilizing Guerrillas and Mobilizing Affect, Colombia and Propaganda in the Early Twenty-First Century (April 8, 2019 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62831 62831-15477383@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 8, 2019 5:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

This talk explores the principle arguments in Alexander Fattal’s new book “Guerrilla Marketing: Counterinsurgency and Capitalism in Colombia” (University of Chicago Press, 2018) about the convergence of marketing and militarism in twenty-first century propaganda. The talk considers the Colombian government’s efforts to engage in a form of ‘brand warfare’ against members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the smaller guerrilla group, the National Liberation Army (ELN). Since 2007, the government has been working with the same advertising firm that stewards brands such as Mazda and RedBull in Colombia, to lure guerrillas out of the insurgency and transform them into consumer citizens. The ethnography critiques those efforts, pointing to problems that emerge when branding captures critical state functions, like waging a war.

Dr. Alexander L. Fattal is Assistant Professor in the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies at Pennsylvania State University. He is also a documentary artist whose creative and scholarly work focuses on the mediation of the Colombian armed conflict.

Many people claim to love books, even if they haven’t read one in years, and to be enamored with libraries, even if they haven’t stepped foot in one since childhood. Why? This panel discussion will bring together experts with different perspectives on the question of why we love books and libraries. Professor Susan Gelman from the U-M Department of Psychology, co-owner of Literati, Michael Gustafson, and founder of the Ann Arbor Book Society, Rachel Pastiva, will be joined by moderator Jamie Lausch Vander Broek, a librarian at the U-M Library and Ann Arbor District Library Trustee.

Ophthalmology is heavily dependent on imaging and numerical data, making it an excellent candidate for the application of deep learning to tasks in image analysis and clinical decision support. In this seminar, we will discuss the rapid automated segmentation of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and its implications for the clinical investigation of the cornea and the intraoperative guidance of surgical maneuvers. In addition, we will discuss the relevance of deep learning to lens implant selection for cataract surgery -- the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the United States. We will conclude by examining the potential roles for deep learning in the analysis of the SOURCE database -- a comprehensive repository of ophthalmic clinical and imaging data being built at UM Kellogg Eye Center to encompass data across 18 institutions.

How do we define memes? How have they come to define us? How can we critically analyze these ubiquitous pools of relief from near-constant existential dread? Navigate your browser/person to the Duderstadt Center Design Studio at 7 PM on Wednesdays for this interactive discussion + workshop with Michelle Sheng.

This series is a Duderstadt Center MicroFellowship project lead by Michelle Sheng, a senior in Computer Science and Art & Design who grew up on the internet. Virtual spaces and languages are her home away from home. She hopes to analyze it as critically as any other space that shapes people. As a digital citizen, her favorite hobbies are checking international Google doodles, ranking meme variants, and bookmarking webpages she'll never read like clipping photos out of travel magazines.

Cognitive Science Community (April 10, 2019 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62981 62981-15528492@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 10, 2019 7:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science

Guest speaker Felix Warneken, Associate Professor of Psychology at U-M, will join the group to discuss the cognitive foundation of reciprocal cooperation.

Overview of Professor Warneken’s talk: Reciprocity is a powerful strategy to sustain cooperation, but little is known about its cognitive prerequisites. Professor Warneken argues that studies on the developmental emergence of reciprocal sharing behaviors can provide insight into its cognitive underpinnings. Professor Warneken will present data on children’s delay of gratification and future-directed thinking abilities and how they might be related to reciprocal sharing behaviors of different complexity. Professor Warneken concludes with some thoughts on how the study of psychological mechanism can explain similarities and differences in the cooperation of humans and other great apes.

Speaker bio: Professor Felix Warneken studies the origins of human social behavior, with a focus on the development and evolution of cooperation and morality. He uses developmental and cross-cultural studies with children, as well as comparative studies with nonhuman apes. He completed his Ph.D. and postdoctoral training at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, was a faculty member at Harvard University and is now an Associate Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

#MeToo: A WeListen Staff Discussion (April 11, 2019 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/62379 62379-15357471@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 11, 2019 11:30am

#MeToo: A WeListen Staff Discussion

This session of WeListen is open to all UM staff members. All voices and views are welcome and lunch will be provided!

RSVP here: http://myumi.ch/LzEYO

The #MeToo movement has highlighted issues of sexual misconduct across the globe since going viral in October 2017. Initially centered around sexual misconduct in the workplace, the movement has since allowed survivors of sexual harassment and assault to speak about their experiences in broader contexts. The hashtag has reached the entertainment industry, higher education, politics, and more as people like Aziz Ansari, Matt Lauer, Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Larry Nassar, and Brett Kavanaugh have their reputations called into question. Some remain unscathed after public scrutiny while others lose their jobs or are sentenced to prison time.

Have we seen true change in sexual misconduct policy since the hashtag began? Does the #MeToo movement violate the American value of "innocent until proven guilty?" Can allegations of sexual misconduct be managed by the court of public opinion or should all consequences be withheld until a trial has taken place?

Join us at this WeListen Staff Discussion to learn about the #MeToo movement and to participate in small group discussions about this complex topic. Our aim is to bring liberals, conservatives, libertarians- everyone across the political spectrum- together for constructive conversation. The goal of WeListen discussions is not to debate or argue, but to understand the views and values of others and to learn from their perspectives. The session will begin with a brief content presentation to provide a basic understanding of the topic. No specific level of knowledge is required to participate in WeListen discussions.


By participating in WeListen sessions, staff members will:
- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic
- Practice discussing difficult topics with others,
- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives,
- Learn to productively challenge an idea, and
- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.

Questions? Email us at welistenstaff@umich.edu.

This event is co-sponsored by the UM Office of DEI and the LSA DEI Implementation Leads. The planning committee includes staff members from the Ginsberg Center, the International Institute, LSA Psychology, the Opportunity Hub, UM Poverty Solutions, and the UM Shared Services Center.

When: Thursday, April 11, 5-6:30pm 
Where: Earl Lewis Room in the Rackham Graduate School (915 E. Washington Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48109) 
What to bring: a laptop and/or notebook and an appetite for science policy and snacks 
Food, drinks, resources and support to write your letters will be provided. 
 
From the proposed rollbacks to the Chemical Facility Safety and air quality rules to inaction on highly fluorinated chemicals (PFAS) at the Environmental Protection Agency, the effects of federal decisions have great bearing on the health and safety of the people of Michigan, particularly
on already overburdened populations. But proactive solutions do exist.  
 
Don’t have time to write a letter?  
Stop by and sign a postcard to your members of Congress and make sure they know their science-loving constituents are counting on them to lead on our health, safety, and environmental protections.

This paper examines Germany as a country of and for refugees by focusing on two waves of refugees. The first is the influx of German refugees from Eastern Europe after the Second World War; the second is the influx of Vietnamese refugees to Western Germany and Vietnamese contract laborers to Eastern Germany around 1979. The paper asks a number of questions about the concept of ‘empathy’, about humanitarian ethics, and about global and national politics. It attempts to develop a comparative approach.

The Islamophobia Working Group (IWG) was assembled in January 2016 to address the national crisis of Islamophobia and its impact on our campus community. We -- a group of faculty, staff, and students -- have become actively involved in the University’s strategic plan for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and gained visibility across the university. For over two years, the IWG has been run through the Arab and Muslim American Studies Program in American Culture; starting in Fall 2018, the IWG will be co-led by AMAS and CMENAS.

Our work is driven by issues brought to the group by any student, staff, or faculty member. The group strategizes as a collective to figure out the best approach to a given issue. Thus, if you encounter a pertinent issue, we want to know about it and we welcome your participation in the group.

If you would like to join our email list or come to a meeting, please contact Professor Samer Ali (samerali@umich.edu), or IWG student coordinator, Silan Fadlallah (silanf@umich.edu).

From the speaker's bio:

The only person to serve as director of the National Economic Council under two Presidents, Gene Sperling provides unique perspective and insights on the intersection between the U.S. and global economy and the most pressing economic policy issues of the day.

From serving as director of the National Economic Council (NEC) for both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to consulting for four seasons on NBC’s award-winning political drama The West Wing, Sperling is widely respected across the political spectrum as one of the top White House economic advisors with a reputation for merging economic policy and economic analysis to get things done. As NEC director, Sperling was the President’s economic adviser responsible for coordinating economic policy and chairing policy meetings with the economic cabinet. The New York Times has called Sperling "a prolific idea generator." Under President Obama, he served as a key negotiator on fiscal issues and an architect of the payroll tax cut, expansions of tax credits for low-income Americans, the Small Business Jobs Act and the American Jobs Act. Under President Clinton, Sperling was a key architect of the 1993 Deficit Reduction Act and its major expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit and a top negotiator of the 1997 Bipartisan Balanced Budget Act, He also served as senior counselor to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, where he helped navigate the financial crisis and was a member of the President’s Auto Task Force and the Treasury’s point person for the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Currently, Sperling heads Sperling Economic Strategies and writes as a contributing editor for The Atlantic.

The U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's Corps and the University of Michigan Law School Present "The United States vs. Jackie Robinson"

In August 1944, Second Lieutenant Jack R. Robinson faced a court-martial at Camp Hood, Texas, related to two charges of insubordination of a superior officer following an incident on a bus in which he refused to obey Jim Crow-era laws.

Recently, Army historians have discovered the identity of an unheralded defense attorney who was instrumental in Jackie Robinson's acquittal. This attorney, Captain Robert H. Johnson, was a graduate of the University of Michigan and Michigan Law. The presentation will detail the African-American experience in WWII, analyze the court-martial, and discuss its effects on this American icon.

Organized By: International Youth and Students for Social Equality

Across the world, the far-right occupies positions of power it has not held since World War Two. With social inequality reaching astronomical proportions, the ruling elites are resurrecting all the political filth responsible for the worst crimes of the 20th century.

In Germany, the scene of the holocaust and Hitler’s Nazi movement, fascism is once again rearing its ugly head. A neo-Nazi party, the Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD), is now the main opposition party with high-level support from within the state and academia. Building a mass movement capable of defeating fascism requires learning the lessons of history.

The lessons of the 1930s show that the fight against fascism requires the independent mobilization of the working class against the capitalist system. Learning these critical lessons is the only way to prevent the disaster of Nazism on an even greater scale today.

* * *
Speaker: Christoph Vandreier, German Trotskyist, prominent leader of the fight against fascism and author of “Why Are They Back? Historical Falsification, Political Conspiracy, and the Return of Fascism in Germany.”

Vandreier is Deputy National secretary of the Sozialistiche Gleichheitspartei (Socialist Equality Party, SGP) in Germany, which was placed under state surveillance on advise of the neo-Nazi AfD for its “anti-fascist” and “anti-capitalist” politics.

ELPP Lecture Series featuring Professor Richard Revesz from NYU Law School (April 16, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60983 60983-15000009@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 16, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Hutchins Hall
Organized By: Michigan Law Environmental and Energy Law Program

Please join us for the latest installment of the Environmental Law & Policy Program Lecture Series, featuring Professor Richard Revesz from NYU Law.

This event is free and open to the public.

Richard Revesz is one of the nation’s leading voices in the fields of environmental and regulatory law and policy. His work focuses on the use of cost-benefit analysis in administrative regulation, federalism and environmental regulation, design of liability regimes for environmental protection, and positive political economy analysis of environmental regulation. His book Retaking Rationality: How Cost-Benefit Analysis Can Better Protect the Environment and Our Health (with Michael Livermore ’06, 2008) contends that the economic analysis of law can be used to support a more protective approach to environmental and health policy. In 2008, Revesz co-founded the Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU School of Law to advocate for regulatory reform before courts, legislatures, and agencies, and to contribute original scholarly research in the environmental and health-and-safety areas.

Location:
Organized By: Engaging Scientists in Policy and Advocacy

Across Michigan and throughout Washtenaw County, issues related to water safety, access, and usage have become prominent topics of public discussion. Despite access to 4 out of 5 Great Lakes, the past few years have repeatedly demonstrated challenges in providing safe water to all current and future Michigan residents. These challenges have drawn the attention of policy makers and experts, but a critical component of the discussion on improving water security must be the values and perspectives of impacted community members.

Join us on April 20th for a discussion between community member panelists and experts in various topics of water security, as they discuss the challenges and opportunities that Washtenaw County faces in guaranteeing access to clean water for all of its residents and the steps policy makers should take to improve water security now and into the future.

DCMB Seminar || Can cancer cells "engineer" regulatory pathways? (April 17, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62789 62789-15466655@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 17, 2019 4:00pm

Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Abstract: Over the past few years, small non-coding RNAs (smRNAs) have emerged as major regulators of metastatic progression. While micro-RNAs were among the first characterized post-transcriptional regulators of metastasis, we have now demonstrated that other annotated smRNAs, such as tRNAs and tRNA fragments, also impact metastatic progression. In their capacity as master regulators of gene expression, smRNAs play a major role in development, normal cell physiology, and homeostasis. However, they are often co-opted by cancer cells to help reprogram their gene expression landscape as the disease progresses. Our group has recently discovered a new class of small RNAs, which we have named orphan non-coding RNAs or oncRNAs [Fish et al, Nature Med 2018], that are largely undetected in normal cells and tissues and emerge as a consequence of cellular transformation. Because they were not previously annotated, oncRNAs had gone unnoticed in prior studies by us and others that were instead focused on quantitative changes in the expression of common smRNA regulators, such as miRNAs and tRNA fragments. These oncRNAs, which we first identified in breast cancer, provide a pool of new biomolecules with regulatory potential that can be subsequently adopted by tumor cells to carry out new oncogenic functions. We have demonstrated that breast cancer cells adopt a specific oncRNA (named T3p) to regulate the expression of two key promoters of metastasis. This finding demonstrates that oncRNAs can serve as potential building blocks for “cancer-emergent” regulatory pathways. We posit that oncRNA-mediated regulatory interactions add a new layer of complexity to gene regulation in cancers.

How do we define memes? How have they come to define us? How can we critically analyze these ubiquitous pools of relief from near-constant existential dread? Navigate your browser/person to the Duderstadt Center Design Studio at 7 PM on Wednesdays for this interactive discussion + workshop with Michelle Sheng.

This series is a Duderstadt Center MicroFellowship project lead by Michelle Sheng, a senior in Computer Science and Art & Design who grew up on the internet. Virtual spaces and languages are her home away from home. She hopes to analyze it as critically as any other space that shapes people. As a digital citizen, her favorite hobbies are checking international Google doodles, ranking meme variants, and bookmarking webpages she'll never read like clipping photos out of travel magazines.

Organized By: Hopwood Awards Program

****This event has been canceled due to changing travel plans. We hope to see you at the 4/18 Hopwood Awards Ceremony instead (Thursday, April 18, 6:00 PM, Rackham Auditorium).****

Please join us in the Hopwood Room for a discussion between essayists Hilton Als and Aisha Sabatini Sloan. This lunchtime event will be catered; food will be available at 11:30, and the discussion will start at noon.

Hilton Als began contributing to The New Yorker in 1989, writing pieces for ‘The Talk of the Town,’ he became a staff writer in 1994, theatre critic in 2002, and lead theater critic in 2012. Week after week, he brings to the magazine a rigorous, sharp, and lyrical perspective on acting, playwriting, and directing. With his deep knowledge of the history of performance—not only in theatre but in dance, music, and visual art—he shows us how to view a production and how to place its director, its author, and its performers in the ongoing continuum of dramatic art. His reviews are not simply reviews; they are provocative contributions to the discourse on theatre, race, class, sexuality, and identity in America. Als is an associate professor of writing at Columbia University’s School of the Arts and has taught at Yale University, Wesleyan, and Smith College. He lives in New York City.

Aisha Sabatini Sloan was born and raised in Los Angeles. Her writing about race and current events is often coupled with analysis of art, film and pop culture. She studied English Literature at Carleton College and went on to earn an MA in Cultural Studies and Studio Art from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Arizona. Her essay collection, The Fluency of Light: Coming of Age in a Theater of Black and White was published by the University of Iowa Press in 2013. Her most recent essay collection, Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit, was just chosen by Maggie Nelson as the winner of the 1913 Open Prose Contest and will be published in 2017. She is currently a Helen Zell Visiting Professor in Creative Nonfiction at the University of Michigan.

Author Mary Gabriel's recent book Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement that Changed Modern Art is set amid one of the most turbulent social and political period of modern times and tells the story of five women who dared to enter the male-dominated world of twentieth-century abstract painting. Gabriel will give a reading on the occasion of UMMA's exhibition Abstraction, Color, and Politics in the Early 1970s. She will be joined by exhibition curator and UMMA director Christina Olsen for a conversation about abstract art, the time, and the lasting impact of these artists.

Maria Bradford gave birth to her first child in late 1831, and she wrote to her mother shortly afterwards describing her childbirth, recovery, and longing for motherly advice. All are welcome to a discussion with historians, medical practitioners, and new mothers to explore how this stirring letter evokes transcending questions about the birthing experience, infancy, and the postpartum period. Join in the conversation by sharing your own history and personal reflections with other U-M and local community members over a complimentary lunch.

Registration is required; please register by May 7 at myumi.ch/Lqoje (or call the Clements Library at 734-647-0864). Children are welcome.

19th Annual James V. Neel Lecture in Human Genetics (May 21, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63339 63339-15644918@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, May 21, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building
Organized By: Department of Human Genetics

The James V. Neel Lecture will take place Tuesday, May 21, 2019 at 2:00 pm in BSRB Kahn Auditorium. The speaker is Dr. James Lupski, from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. The Lecture honors James V. Neel, former Chair of the Department of Human Genetics for over 25 years, and a pioneer in the field of genetics.

Dr. Lupski is The Cullen Foundation Endowed Chair in Molecular and Human Genetics and Professor of Pediatrics. He received his initial scientific training at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory as an Undergraduate Research Participant (URP). At New York University, he received his undergraduate degree in chemistry and biology (1979) and earned a doctorate in biochemistry and molecular biology, and an M.D. in 1985. In 1986, he moved to Houston, Texas for clinical training in pediatrics (1986-1989) and medical genetics (1989-1992) and then established his own laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine where he remains, and as of 1995, as the Cullen Professor.

Dr. Lupski's research focuses on understanding mutational mechanisms and linking specific mutations and genes to human disease. Dr. Lupski started his laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine in 1989, where he still resides. His most significant contributions to genomics are centered around conceptualizing and understanding the mechanisms underlying genomic disorders. This is seen through his studies of Charcot-Marie Tooth (CMT) disease - specifically, duplication of the CMT1A gene. In 1991, Dr. Lupski showed that CMT1A copy number variation (CNV) and gene dosage are causes of CMT-related peripheral nerve dysfunction. In 2014, he and his colleagues found that the presence of three copies of CMT1A on one chromosome 17, a phenomenon known as triplication, causes a more severe form of CMT. His group was also the first to describe non-allelic homologous recombination as a mechanism for CNV formation and chromosomal aberrations. These discoveries, with parallels and potential applications to other genomic disorders, furthered scientific understanding of the relationships between genetic variants and disease outcomes, helped define the field of genomic medicine, and are paving the way for precision medicine.

In 2018, Dr. Lupski was named as the recipient of the Victor A. McKusick Leadership Award from the American Society of Human Genetics. This award recognizes individuals whose professional achievements have fostered and enriched the development of human genetics as well as its assimilation into the broader context of science, medicine, and health.

Following the lecture, there will be a poster session/reception. For more information, contact the Department of Human Genetics, 734-647-3149.

Organized By: ArtsEngine

The purpose of this town hall will be to discuss the findings and recommendations from the consensus report, The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Higher Education: Branches from the Same Tree, released Spring 2018 by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). The even will also facilitate discussions about strategies for the creation, evaluation, and sustainability of courses and programs that integrate across disciplines. The report represents a culmination of a two-year study conducted by a committee of National Academies members including scientists, engineers, health professionals, humanists, artists, and industry leaders. The report argues that integrating the humanities and arts with science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine results in positive learning outcomes that will help students successfully enter the workforce, enrich their lives, and help them become active and informed citizens. Importantly, a range of positive educational outcomes resulted from these methods, including improved written and oral communication skills, teamwork skills, ethical decision-making, critical thinking, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-world settings.

Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Protein synthesis is an indispensable process which accounts for a large proportion of the energetic resources of any living cells. Therefore, translational regulation must be tightly controlled. Such regulation is critical for protein biogenesis, folding, trafficking and degradation under stable and changing conditions. I will focus on the importance of hidden evolutionary signatures within the coding region of proteins that govern translational efficiency and dominate proteostasis in health and disease. I will discuss the notion of tRNA adaptation index (tAI) as an indirect measure for translation elongation efficiency. Specifically, I will show that proteins which must be localized to specific sites and organelles in cells evolved to support their optimal translation elongation rate. A link between an evolutionary signature within mRNAs and efficient management of protein production will be illustrated for the case of synaptic proteins and their family members. Neuronal communication is governed by the coordinated action of the synapse. In all organisms having a nerve system, the synapses are signified by the abundance of ion channels, cytoskeletal elements, ligand binding receptors, and secreted proteins. As such, the proteins composition is a showcase for an extreme demand of translational control. In the last part of the talk, I will extend the concept of translation regulation by illustrating the robustness of the translational machinery in view of post-translational regulation of miRNA in cells. I will present COMICS as a simulator that predict the global cell response to miRNA alterations, and illustrate the immunity of the translation apparatus to miRNA fluctuations. In summary, I will show that evolutionarily conserved design principles while often hidden are a strong determinant in the cell homeostasis in health and disease.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

UMMA and the Ann Arbor Summer Festival (A2SF) welcome artist Mary Mattingly to Ann Arbor for a three-day residency, June 27–30. Mattingly, whose photograph, Life of Objects, is featured in UMMA’s exhibition The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene, is deeply concerned with our relationships to objects—where they come from, where they go, their implications for humans, and their impact on the environment. The centerpiece of the residency is a large-scale public art project titled Objects in the Round, in the Annex tent at Top of the Park on Ingalls Mall where festivalgoers will build a miniature landscape with Mattingly that explores relationships with objects, built landscapes, and habits of consumption.   To kick off her residency, Mattingly will be joined by thought leaders from U-M and beyond—A2SF's James Carter, UMMA curator Jennifer Friess, arts curator of the U-M Institute for the Humanities Amanda Krugliak, watershed planner of the Huron River Watershed Council Daniel Brown, Detroit-based interdisciplinary artist Sacramento Knoxx, independent film director and producer Diane Cheklich, and Christy Bieber, co-director of The Aadizookaan—for a discussion on the possibilities and challenges for artists and arts organizations creating and presenting artwork that explores sustainability and the environment. The Long Table format was born from director and scholar Lois Weaver’s exercise on participation and public engagement. Its aim is to foster civic-minded discussions on ideas and questions surrounding the city's creative culture. It’s a dinner table atmosphere encouraging participants to ask questions, make statements, leave comments, or openly sit, listen, and watch.

For more information about additional programs for Mattingly's residency and related to The World to Come exhibition, click here.

Mary Mattingly’s residency is presented in partnership with the Ann Arbor Summer Festival’s Festival Footprint Initiative established with generous support from  Toyota.

 
 


The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene is organized by the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida and curated by Kerry Oliver-Smith, Harn Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art.

Artist Mary Mattingly is deeply concerned with our relationships to objects—where they come from, where they go, their implications for humans, and their impact on the environment. Mattingly asks us to consider how consumerist societies enact histories of exploitation in the creation of objects by mapping complex supply chains from mineral mines to store shelves.

Returning to Michigan after a 2016 residency and exhibition at the U-M Institute for Humanities, during which she travelled to the Upper Peninsula’s cobalt mines, engaged U-M students (including UMMA’s Student Engagement Council) in tracing source materials, and surfaced stories to create a time capsule, Mattingly will share how Michigan continues to inform her work. Mattingly’s photograph, Life of Objects, is on view in UMMA’s presentation of the exhibition The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene (April 27–July 28, 2019), which explores the impact of human activity on our planet through art. Join Mattingly, along with Jennifer M. Friess, UMMA Assistant Curator of Photography, and Amanda Krugliak, Arts Curator at the U-M Institute for the Humanities for a look in the gallery, followed by a discussion of the complex terrain Mattingly’s artistic practice explores.

Immediately following this UMMA program, Mattingly and the public will disassemble the project from 5–8 p.m. Stop by the Institute for the Humanities, 202 S. Thayer, to see the time capsule from Mattingly’s 2016 residency on your way to Top of the Park.

This program is part of a 3-day, June 27–30, residency with the Ann Arbor Summer Festival and UMMA during which Mattingly will lead a large-scale public art project, titled Objects in the Round, in the Annex tent at Top of the Park on Ingalls Mall. Come build a miniature landscape with Mattingly and other festival goers and explore your own relationship to objects, built landscapes, and habits of consumption.

Objects in the Round schedule Thursday, June 27 - Opening 7-10 p.m. Friday & Saturday, June 28 & 29 - Workshops and Construction 5-10 p.m. Sunday, June 30 - Deconstruction/Gathering 5-8 p.m.

The Polarization of Partisanship: A WeListen Staff Discussion (July 26, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/64331 64331-16316439@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, July 26, 2019 11:00am
Location: School of Social Work Building
Organized By: WeListen Staff

This WeListen session is open to all UM staff members. All voices and views are welcome and lunch will be provided!

RSVP here: http://bit.ly/WLJuly19

Polarization has become a buzzword used to describe the current state of U.S. politics, and a perceived lack of dialogue across the political spectrum. People who gravitate toward political extremes tend to dominate news coverage, while the 'exhausted majority' who are more flexible in their views are often forgotten in public discourse.

Are we truly polarized with regard to our political views? Do the media play a role in this divide, whether perceived or real? And how does the two-party system contribute to polarization? Join us for a lively discussion on where we stand and where we're headed.

Our aim is to bring liberals, conservatives, libertarians- everyone across the political spectrum- together for constructive conversation. The goal of WeListen discussions is not to debate or argue, but to understand the views and values of others and to learn from their perspectives. The session will begin with a brief content presentation to provide a basic understanding of the topic. No specific level of knowledge is required to participate in WeListen discussions.

By participating in WeListen sessions, staff members will:
- Expand understanding of a prominent political topic
- Practice discussing difficult topics with others,
- Gain openness to new ideas and perspectives,
- Learn to productively challenge an idea, and
- Form a sense of community among fellow staff members.

Questions? Email us at welistenstaff@umich.edu.

This event is co-sponsored by the UM Office of DEI and the LSA DEI Implementation Leads. The planning committee includes staff members from the Ginsberg Center, the International Institute, LSA Psychology, UM Poverty Solutions, and the UM Shared Services Center.
