Location: Cancer Center
Organized By: Gifts of Art

Fractured History explores concepts of identity, love, loss and the connection between music, history and civil rights. Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur, author, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household; his adoptive family is Jewish, his biological mother is Irish Catholic, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness. His passion for inclusion and social justice inspired him to found the Sphinx Organization, which works to help reflect the diversity in the US in orchestras. The digital and mixed media works in this exhibit combine elements of music, diversity, and an evolving aesthetic of the abstract that mirrors a disjunct search for unconditional love.

In her early career, Linda Erf Swift worked as a teacher and social worker in public schools, and later graduated from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. 12 years into her current work, Swift photographs students in three high schools on Chicago’s Southside: Kenwood Academy, King College Prep (public schools) and University High (private). She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic, assertive and joyful, discerning and full of possibility.

Fractured History explores concepts of identity, love, loss and the connection between music, history and civil rights. Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur, author, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household; his adoptive family is Jewish, his biological mother is Irish Catholic, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness. His passion for inclusion and social justice inspired him to found the Sphinx Organization, which works to help reflect the diversity in the US in orchestras. The digital and mixed media works in this exhibit combine elements of music, diversity, and an evolving aesthetic of the abstract that mirrors a disjunct search for unconditional love.

In her early career, Linda Erf Swift worked as a teacher and social worker in public schools, and later graduated from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. 12 years into her current work, Swift photographs students in three high schools on Chicago’s Southside: Kenwood Academy, King College Prep (public schools) and University High (private). She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic, assertive and joyful, discerning and full of possibility.

On Black Technoculture (January 23, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71326 71326-17817094@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 23, 2020 12:00pm
Location: North Quad
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

Where does Blackness manifest In the ideology of Western technoculture? Technoculture is the American mythos (Dinerstein 2006) and ideology; a belief system powering the coercive, political, and carceral relations between culture and technology. Once enslaved, historically disenfranchised, never deemed literate, Blackness is understood as the object of Western technical and civilizational practices. This presentation is a critical intervention for internet research and science and technology studies (STS), reorienting Western technoculture’s practices of “race-as-technology” (Chun 2009) to visualize Blackness as technological subjects rather than as “things”. Hence, Black technoculture. Utilizing critical technocultural discourse analysis (Brock 2018), Afro-optimism, and libidinal economic theory, this presentation employs Black Twitter as an exemplar of Black cyberculture: digital practice and artifacts informed by a Black aesthetic.

André Brock is an associate professor of media studies at Georgia Tech. His scholarship examines racial representations in videogames, black women and weblogs, whiteness, blackness, and digital technoculture, as well as innovative and groundbreaking research on Black Twitter. His forthcoming book titled Distributed Blackness: African American Cybercultures will be published with NYU Press in February 2020, offering an innovative approach to understanding Black everyday lives mediated by digital technologies.

Free and open to the public, no RSVP required.

Fractured History explores concepts of identity, love, loss and the connection between music, history and civil rights. Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur, author, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household; his adoptive family is Jewish, his biological mother is Irish Catholic, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness. His passion for inclusion and social justice inspired him to found the Sphinx Organization, which works to help reflect the diversity in the US in orchestras. The digital and mixed media works in this exhibit combine elements of music, diversity, and an evolving aesthetic of the abstract that mirrors a disjunct search for unconditional love.

In her early career, Linda Erf Swift worked as a teacher and social worker in public schools, and later graduated from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. 12 years into her current work, Swift photographs students in three high schools on Chicago’s Southside: Kenwood Academy, King College Prep (public schools) and University High (private). She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic, assertive and joyful, discerning and full of possibility.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Wallace House Center for Journalists

Journalism is often called the first draft of history. But journalism can also be used as a powerful tool for examining history.

Four hundred years ago, in August 1619, a ship carrying enslaved Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia, establishing the system of slavery on which the United States was built.

With The 1619 Project, The New York Times is prompting conversation and debate about the legacy of slavery and its influence over American society and culture. From mass incarceration to traffic jams, the project seeks to reframe our understanding of American history and the fight to live up to our nation’s central promise.

Wallace House Presents the project’s creator, New York Times Magazine reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones, in conversation with Rochelle Riley, longtime journalist and columnist.

About the Speaker:
Nikole Hannah-Jones is a domestic correspondent for The New York Times Magazine focusing on racial injustice. She has written on federal failures to enforce the Fair Housing Act, the resegregation of American schools and policing in America. Her extensive reporting in both print and radio on the ways segregation in housing and schools is maintained through official action and policy has earned the National Magazine Award, a Peabody and a Polk Award. Her work designing “The 1619 Project” has been met with universal acclaim. The project was released in August 2019 to mark the 400th anniversary of American slavery and re-examines the role it plays in the history of the United States.

Hannah-Jones earned her bachelor’s in history and African-American studies from the University of Notre Dame and her master’s in journalism and mass communication from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

About the Moderator:
Rochelle Riley was a 2007-2008 Knight-Wallace Fellow and is the Director of Arts and Culture for the City of Detroit. For nineteen years she was a columnist at the Detroit Free Press. Riley is author of “The Burden: African Americans and the Enduring Impact of Slavery” and the upcoming “That They Lived: Twenty African Americans Who Changed The World.” She has won numerous national, state and local honors, including the 2017 Ida B. Wells Award from the National Association of Black Journalists for her outstanding efforts to make newsrooms and news coverage more accurately reflect the diversity of the communities they serve and the 2018 Detroit SPJ Lifetime Achievement Award alongside her longtime friend, Walter Middlebrook. She was a 2016 inductee into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame.

This is a 2020 Annual U-M Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium event.

Location: Hutchins Hall
Organized By: Asian Pacific American Law Students Association

January 30th is the Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution. On February 19th, 1942, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, one of the most blatant forms of racial profiling in US history, which led to the forced removal and incarceration of over 120,000 American citizens and residents on the basis of being ethnically Japanese. Fred T. Korematsu was one of many who refused to be incarcerated, and was arrested. A national civil rights hero, Fred Korematsu appealed his case to the Supreme Court. Although the Supreme Court ruled against him in 1944, in 1983 his conviction was overturned in a coram nobis proceeding where Fred Korematsu addressed the court, saying, “I would like to see the government admit they were wrong, and do something about it so this will never happen again to any American citizen of any race, creed, or color.”

In 2014 and again in 2019, the US government attempted to reopen the Fort Sill camp to incarcerate migrant children from Latin America; Fort Sill was previously used as a concentration camp where Native Americans and Japanese Americans were detained. In June 2017, ICE agents raided and arrested Iraqi families in the Detroit area, leading to the ACLU’s lawsuit, Hamama v. Adducci. Raids on Iraqi families have continued into 2019.

On January 30th, APALSA's Political Action Committee, in partnership with the Michigan Asian Pacific American Affairs Commission and Stop Repeating History would like to invite you to attend a screening of the documentary Alternative Facts: The Lies of Executive Order 9066 by Jon Osaki, followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A led by University of Michigan Law student Kevin Luong.

This event features incredible guest speakers: Dr. Karen Korematsu, Don Tamaki, Aamina Ahmed, Mary Kamidoi, and Michael Steinberg. Free and open to the public. Food from Curry On will be provided with RSVP: bit.ly/2tfDsnu

In her early career, Linda Erf Swift worked as a teacher and social worker in public schools, and later graduated from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. 12 years into her current work, Swift photographs students in three high schools on Chicago’s Southside: Kenwood Academy, King College Prep (public schools) and University High (private). She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic, assertive and joyful, discerning and full of possibility.

Being present in the moment is a skill that can be learned when practiced on a regular basis. Evidence-based mindful meditation has been shown to reduce implicit age and race bias, reduce the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pain, improve cognitive functioning, and assist in ending ruminating thought patterns. This workshop will provide an overview of the basics of this powerful tool, introduce ways to incorporate both formal and informal mindful meditation practices into daily life, and a guided mindful meditation experience. In addition, every Wednesday from 12:15 – 12:45 pm, CEW+ holds guided mindful meditation sessions providing a weekly opportunity to practice in a supportive space.

Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: Michigan Malaysian Students' Association (MiMSA)

For the past 10 years, the Michigan Malaysian Students' Association (MiMSA) has come together to prepare for one special night every year: the Malaysian Cultural Night.
Free for all, people of all ages are welcome to spend their evening with a musical that delves into Malaysian art, culture and racial dynamics. Guests are also invited for a free dinner with some good Malaysian company after the show. This year, we present Kita.

Kita (Us)

Malaysian Cultural Night 2020 will follow the story of 4 Malaysian students who transferred to the University of Michigan, each with their unique background stories. The light hearted play will showcase unity among ethnically diverse people, and most importantly, the significance of true friendship. The characters will embody individuals that struggle with family expectations, finding their identities away from home, making friends all whilst adapting to a new culture in a new country. This play is highly relatable to students who are studying abroad, and it aims to realize the experience as well as to educate the non-Malaysian audience on our identity. MCN 2020 will also showcase a variety of traditional dances from different ethnic groups in Malaysia.

Worthy Bodies: Trans and Nonbinary Body Positivity (February 4, 2020 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71969 71969-17905477@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 4, 2020 6:00pm
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Spectrum Center

Historically, transgender and non-binary identities have been viewed by the medical and mental health community as pathological. Although change has occurred, the cultural narratives around transgender and non-binary remain disparaging, disempowering, and marginalizing. Namely, that people with these identities are born in the wrong bodies. Transgender and non-binary people are not immune to internalizing these narratives which often lead to the development of shame and other mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, to name a few. The goal of this workshop is to utilize countercultural, body positive, and resiliency focused interventions to empower transgender and non binary college students to view their bodies and identities.

Jim Ottaviani

Jim Ottaviani comes to the library to launch (no pun intended) his new book : Astronauts: Women on the Final Frontier. In this graphic novel Ottaviani and illustrator Maris Wicks capture the great humor and incredible drive of Mary Cleave, Valentina Tereshkova, and the first women in space.

The U.S. may have put the first man on the moon, but it was the Soviet space program that made Valentina Tereshkova the first woman in space. It took years to catch up, but soon NASA’s first female astronauts were racing past milestones of their own. The trail-blazing women of Group 9, NASA’s first mixed gender class, had the challenging task of convincing the powers that be that a woman’s place is in space, but they discovered that NASA had plenty to learn about how to make space travel possible for everyone.

This event is in partnership with Literati Bookstore and includes a signing with books for sale.

Fractured History explores concepts of identity, love, loss and the connection between music, history and civil rights. Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur, author, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household; his adoptive family is Jewish, his biological mother is Irish Catholic, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness. His passion for inclusion and social justice inspired him to found the Sphinx Organization, which works to help reflect the diversity in the US in orchestras. The digital and mixed media works in this exhibit combine elements of music, diversity, and an evolving aesthetic of the abstract that mirrors a disjunct search for unconditional love.

In her early career, Linda Erf Swift worked as a teacher and social worker in public schools, and later graduated from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. 12 years into her current work, Swift photographs students in three high schools on Chicago’s Southside: Kenwood Academy, King College Prep (public schools) and University High (private). She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic, assertive and joyful, discerning and full of possibility.

Healthcare: A WeListen Staff Discussion (February 5, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/71610 71610-17844814@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 5, 2020 11:00am
Location: North Quad
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/WLFebruary

We will discuss Healthcare by learning about policies put forth by the Democratic and Republican parties, and examining systems in other countries. We'll also consider the impact of lobbyists on prescription drug costs, and discuss plans and terminology being used by 2020 presidential candidates.

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 supported by the WeListen Staff Series planning committee with members from the Ginsberg Center, the International Institute and LSA Psychology.

Dr. Brett Krutzsch presents "Queer Martyrdom: The Religious and Sexual Politics of LGBTQ Inclusion." Register for this event and other HWW events at: http://bit.ly/LGBTQHealthReg

This talk will compare the LGBTQ murder that generated the most media attention in the country’s history—the killing of white, gay, college student Matthew Shepard in 1998—with a similar LGBTQ murder that received considerably less attention—the killing of Native American, two-spirit, high school student F.C. Martinez in 2001. We will explore how activists used both deaths for political purposes and why Shepard became a more popular political emblem. We will also consider how religion shaped the activism surrounding their deaths and how LGBTQ activists used religion to promote greater acceptance of queer Americans.

Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (or TRE) is a simple yet innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. Created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, TRE safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance. We have some yoga mats available, please bring your own if possible.

Lovella Calica is certified by TRE Global Certification Training Program and has liability insurance through Hands-On-Trade.

She started her practice in April of 2014 and finished my training in August of 2015. She has been providing TRE sessions to veterans, civilians, children, women, artists and various other people since that time. Practicing TRE drastically and rapidly improved her life tenfold. She felt that she jumped ahead in therapy about 5 years, without all the talking! As a survivor of childhood trauma she had been weighed down with guilt, anger and anxiety for much of her life. After doing TRE every other day for just one month, she felt great relief from these symptoms, which was even noticeable to peers. She had a new and healthier relationship with her body and felt that the space anxiety was taking in her body had been physically removed.

“Recommendations for a More Inclusive Canadian Astronomy Community”

The Canadian astronomical community is currently undergoing its "Long Range Planning" process, similar to the Decadal Survey in the US. As such, the Equity and Inclusivity Committee (EIC) has recently shared a white paper with a set of recommendations for improving the representation of minoritized peoples and the working conditions in the professional astronomy community: http://myumi.ch/Bo38l. I'll briefly describe these recommendations and then open an informal discussion of their merit (and what we have inevitably missed!).

In her early career, Linda Erf Swift worked as a teacher and social worker in public schools, and later graduated from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. 12 years into her current work, Swift photographs students in three high schools on Chicago’s Southside: Kenwood Academy, King College Prep (public schools) and University High (private). She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic, assertive and joyful, discerning and full of possibility.

Fractured History explores concepts of identity, love, loss and the connection between music, history and civil rights. Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur, author, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household; his adoptive family is Jewish, his biological mother is Irish Catholic, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness. His passion for inclusion and social justice inspired him to found the Sphinx Organization, which works to help reflect the diversity in the US in orchestras. The digital and mixed media works in this exhibit combine elements of music, diversity, and an evolving aesthetic of the abstract that mirrors a disjunct search for unconditional love.

Signs of Disability: Faculty, Accommodations and Access at Work (February 11, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72570 72570-18018162@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 11, 2020 3:00pm
Location: East Hall
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

While accommodation procedures for students are by now generally recognized and recognizable (although there is certainly still tremendous work to do on this front), the question of faculty accommodations is uncharted terrain on many college and university campuses. Beginning by articulating the concept of “signs of disability”—a means of making disability available for perception using a variety of embodied, environmental, and discursive practices—this talk moves through some of the experiences and encounters that disabled faculty have shared in research interviews, published accounts, and surveys. What such accounts reveal is that the emergence of disability and concomitant development of access and accommodation practices is part of a dynamic interrelationship between institutional cultures, environments for disability, and various ways that disability is available for noticing (or not-noticing) within faculty bodies and practices. The talk will conclude with some next-steps and questions for those interested and invested in creating more broadly inclusive academic environments for all members of the campus community, including faculty.

Sarah Goddard Power Award and Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award Ceremony (February 12, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71014 71014-17768629@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 12, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: CEW+

February 12, 2020 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Koessler Room, Michigan League

Please join us for the annual Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Awards Ceremony.

The Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Awards are presented by the Academic Women’s Caucus, which was founded in its current form in 1975. Its initial charge was ” …to develop an inclusive organization of all women faculty members of the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses of the University of Michigan which will serve as a forum for the exchange of information about the status of faculty women at the University and as a focus for action necessary to the investigation and resolution of their special concerns.” To this end, the Caucus has met regularly during the academic year since 1976. It has responded to the concerns of its members by sponsoring informational and problem-solving sessions of various kinds and has provided support and a mechanism for exchange of ideas and action proposals.

2020 SARAH GODDARD POWER AWARD
Sarah Goddard Power was widely acclaimed as a major contributor to the advancement of higher education, an advocate for affirmative action and human rights, and a champion of freedom for the international press. As a Regent of the University of Michigan for more than 12 years, Sarah Goddard Power worked tirelessly to advance the position of women and minorities in faculty and administrative roles.

Regent Sarah Goddard Power originally suggested that the Academic Women’s Caucus present awards to such individuals. In 1984, an Awards Committee was established to select the first recipients of the Academic Women’s Caucus Awards. Thus, it seemed appropriate that the Academic Women’s Caucus Award be renamed to honor Regent Power. In 1988, Regent Philip H. Power graciously consented to allow the Caucus to rename its awards the Academic Women’s Caucus Sarah Goddard Power Award. In 1998, President Lee Bollinger enabled the Award to be offered with an accompanying stipend. Each year, nominations are selected for the Sarah Goddard Power Awards.

2020 Sarah Goddard Power Award Recipients:

Cathleen Connell, Professor, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education, is being honored for her significant achievement in addressing current challenges faced by women through distinguished leadership at the University of Michigan. Dr. Connell began her academic career as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Behavior and Health Education in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan in 1989, and rose through the ranks to become Professor in 2003. She has served in many leadership roles in her tenure at the University, including associate and senior associate dean of academic affairs, department and associate chair, and directorships. “Cathleen brings true kindness, empathy and graciousness to her leadership roles. With her attitudes and actions, she has helped make the Department and School a place where female scholars feel comfortable and can thrive personally and professionally,” said Mary Janevic, Ph.D., MPH, in a nominating letter. “Cathleen embodies the characteristics of an inspired leader. A patient listener, she has an innate ability to motivate teams to institute changes, meet goals, and achieve success,” Angela Beck, Assistant Dean for Student Engagement and Practice, School of Public Health, wrote.

Allison Steiner, Professor, Department of Climate and Space Science and Engineering, has provided breakthrough contributions towards developing a diverse and inclusive workforce both at the University of Michigan and in her own scientific field at a national and international level. She receives the Sarah Goddard Power Award for her tireless advocacy towards the advancement of women in Earth Sciences worldwide, and her leadership role in promoting equality for female faculty in the College of Engineering. Allison co-founded the Earth Science Women’s Network (ESWN), an international peer-mentoring network of women in the Earth Sciences, whose mission is to promote career development, build community, provide opportunities for informal mentoring and support, and facilitate professional collaborations. At the University and within the College of Engineering Steiner plays active leadership roles in a variety of programs and efforts to develop and implement strategies and plans to support diversity, equity and inclusion. She chaired the Dean’s Advisory Committee on Female Faculty, is a member of the CoE ADVANCE Advisory Committee and Co-Chaired last year’s NextProf Committee. “Looking through the list of the last few years Sarah Goddard Power Award winners is inspirational… Prof. Allison Steiner’s significant achievements in contributing to the betterment of current challenges faced by women through her leadership and community building roles clearly place her in the same company,” wrote Mark Moldwin, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Professor of Space Sciences and Engineering, in a nominating letter.

2020 RHETAUGH G. DUMAS PROGRESS IN DIVERSIFYING AWARD
The Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award supports a long-standing vision of increasing the number of diverse women in the academy. Named after late Vice Provost Rhetaugh Dumas, it recognizes outstanding institutional initiative in demonstrating notable progress by academic units in achieving ethnic, racial and gender diversity among those pursuing and achieving tenure as professors, clinical professors, research professors, and research scientists.

Rhetaugh Dumas was an esteemed leader with vision, insight, and wise counsel who had a major impact in the advancement of nursing, healthcare, and academic programs at U-M. Vice Provost Dumas was only the second African-American to hold the position of a Dean at the University of Michigan when she was appointed in 1981, and the first African-American to be named a Dean. She was reappointed Dean of Nursing in 1986 and 1991 to second and third terms. Prior to that appointment, she was the first woman and first nurse to serve as a deputy director of the National Institute of Mental Health. Dumas was Deputy Director, Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration (1979-1981) and before that Chief, Psychiatric Nursing Education Branch of the Division of Manpower and Training Programs (1972-1976). She was also a founding member, a Charter Fellow, and a former president of the American Academy of Nursing. Dumas served the University of Michigan for over 20 years with vision and a commitment to excellence.

2020 Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award Recipient:
The U-M Women’s Studies Department has been selected for the Rhetaugh Dumas Award for its continued commitment to hiring and promoting a diverse faculty. In the fall of 2019, 50% of Women’s Studies faculty were black and/or people of color. Over the past five years, leadership in Women’s Studies has embodied and practiced an “institutional commitment to change.” Two recent department chairs ­- Elizabeth Cole and Rosie Ceballo, African American and Latinx, respectively – during those five years have moved on to Assistant, Associate, and interim dean positions at the College of LSA. Beyond their own leadership positions, they also made the effort to hire black women and/or women of color.

Fractured History explores concepts of identity, love, loss and the connection between music, history and civil rights. Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur, author, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household; his adoptive family is Jewish, his biological mother is Irish Catholic, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness. His passion for inclusion and social justice inspired him to found the Sphinx Organization, which works to help reflect the diversity in the US in orchestras. The digital and mixed media works in this exhibit combine elements of music, diversity, and an evolving aesthetic of the abstract that mirrors a disjunct search for unconditional love.

In her early career, Linda Erf Swift worked as a teacher and social worker in public schools, and later graduated from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. 12 years into her current work, Swift photographs students in three high schools on Chicago’s Southside: Kenwood Academy, King College Prep (public schools) and University High (private). She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic, assertive and joyful, discerning and full of possibility.

Fractured History explores concepts of identity, love, loss and the connection between music, history and civil rights. Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur, author, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household; his adoptive family is Jewish, his biological mother is Irish Catholic, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness. His passion for inclusion and social justice inspired him to found the Sphinx Organization, which works to help reflect the diversity in the US in orchestras. The digital and mixed media works in this exhibit combine elements of music, diversity, and an evolving aesthetic of the abstract that mirrors a disjunct search for unconditional love.

In her early career, Linda Erf Swift worked as a teacher and social worker in public schools, and later graduated from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. 12 years into her current work, Swift photographs students in three high schools on Chicago’s Southside: Kenwood Academy, King College Prep (public schools) and University High (private). She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic, assertive and joyful, discerning and full of possibility.

In her early career, Linda Erf Swift worked as a teacher and social worker in public schools, and later graduated from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. 12 years into her current work, Swift photographs students in three high schools on Chicago’s Southside: Kenwood Academy, King College Prep (public schools) and University High (private). She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic, assertive and joyful, discerning and full of possibility.

Fractured History explores concepts of identity, love, loss and the connection between music, history and civil rights. Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur, author, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household; his adoptive family is Jewish, his biological mother is Irish Catholic, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness. His passion for inclusion and social justice inspired him to found the Sphinx Organization, which works to help reflect the diversity in the US in orchestras. The digital and mixed media works in this exhibit combine elements of music, diversity, and an evolving aesthetic of the abstract that mirrors a disjunct search for unconditional love.

The Black Excellence celebration aims to honor the diversity of blackness within the UM campus and community. This event intends to have different black cultural organizations across campus come and showcase their cultural pride through art, performance, or any form of creative expression. The event will also include a buffet of food from different aspects of the African diaspora, such as soul food, different African dishes, and even dishes from Afro-Latino/Caribbean backgrounds.

At this event, participants and student groups will have an opportunity to celebrate and showcase their artistic talents in many ways, including spoken word, dance, singing, etc. We'll also have local Black vendors at the event.

We are also looking for black art, photographs, and creative pieces to showcase in an art gallery during this event that will take place at the very beginning. There will be an entire section of the union ballroom dedicated to displaying all sorts of black art, Afrocentric collective pieces for anyone who chooses to have art displayed.

Organized By: Michigan Engineering

For students dreaming of careers in science, technology, engineering and math fields, at public research universities like the U-M, introductory courses in these subjects are the first steps on a path to a STEM degree.

The class sizes are huge. They also can be challenging, causing many students to stumble on these first steps.

As a result, students often shift course, abandoning their dreams of working in a STEM discipline, researchers say.

University of Michigan Engineering is excited to welcome Dr. Timothy McKay to our DEI lecture series for the month of February. His lecture will be focused on the Sloan Equity and Inclusion in STEM Introductory Courses (SEISMIC) project – a multi-university initiative to tackle equity and inclusion in STEM.

He will discuss ways that institutions can collaborate to ensure courses are diverse, equitable and inclusive for students.

Fractured History explores concepts of identity, love, loss and the connection between music, history and civil rights. Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur, author, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household; his adoptive family is Jewish, his biological mother is Irish Catholic, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness. His passion for inclusion and social justice inspired him to found the Sphinx Organization, which works to help reflect the diversity in the US in orchestras. The digital and mixed media works in this exhibit combine elements of music, diversity, and an evolving aesthetic of the abstract that mirrors a disjunct search for unconditional love.

In her early career, Linda Erf Swift worked as a teacher and social worker in public schools, and later graduated from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. 12 years into her current work, Swift photographs students in three high schools on Chicago’s Southside: Kenwood Academy, King College Prep (public schools) and University High (private). She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic, assertive and joyful, discerning and full of possibility.

Women were first admitted to the University of Michigan in 1870. This exhibit at the Bentley Historical Library tells the story of earlier, unsuccessful attempts by women to enter U-M, the process by which the Regents eventually reached the decision resulting in the admission of women, and experiences of some of the first women to matriculate at the University. Visit the Bentley to see actual documents drawn from the Bentley collection and others.

CEW+Inspire Workshop: Who Speaks for Seeds? Respectful Listening – Meaningful Actions (February 27, 2020 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69928 69928-17483065@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 27, 2020 2:00pm
Location: Center for the Education of Women
Organized By: CEW+

The workshop is from 2-3:30, followed by a networking reception until 4:00.

The concept of Rematriation as Reconciliation is simple. It is the return of living seeds to their Community of Origin. But issues of trust soon emerge. Who is involved in conceptually framing and prioritizing critical thought and action? Who/what Community Members have both standing and agency to be engaged—ethically, spiritually, and legally? Who speaks for Indigenous Nation’s seeds in museum diaspora? What is “listening” when contributing parties’ paradigms of reality are not fully congruent?

This workshop, co-led by Tribal Partner Mede (Elder) Shannon Martin, will address deep listening skills as a key to trust-building. Shannon is the Director of the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture & Lifeways in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. The Heritage Seeds Project and how it grew into the Indigenous Collaborative Garden will be one trust-building example. The challenges of deep listening from an academic perspective are real. Participants should become aware that Reconciliation is about fundamental change – in one’s self.

Dr. David C. Michener is the curator at the U-M Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum. Best known to the public for his co-authored book Peony, which made the New York Times 2018 Summer Reading List, his research addresses understanding the complex cross-cultural heritages of ornamental peonies and conserving key living specimens. He has an active program in molecular-evidence of peony relationships with colleagues and students here at U-M and in Belarus. His work with Indigenous Seeds in museum collections is an unanticipated intersection of deep engagement with U-M’s Museum Studies Program (Rackham Graduate School) and an ethical concern with the ‘Voice’ of Indigenous Communities in interpreting native plant collections and landscapes stewarded by the Botanical Gardens & Arboretum. Before coming to Michigan, David earned his BA in Botany (UNC-Chapel Hill), and his PhD (Claremont Graduate School) was followed by a NSF-funded postdoc at Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum.

Fractured History explores concepts of identity, love, loss and the connection between music, history and civil rights. Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur, author, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household; his adoptive family is Jewish, his biological mother is Irish Catholic, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness. His passion for inclusion and social justice inspired him to found the Sphinx Organization, which works to help reflect the diversity in the US in orchestras. The digital and mixed media works in this exhibit combine elements of music, diversity, and an evolving aesthetic of the abstract that mirrors a disjunct search for unconditional love.

Fractured History explores concepts of identity, love, loss and the connection between music, history and civil rights. Aaron Dworkin is a social entrepreneur, author, artist and professor of music. Classically trained in the violin, Dworkin grew up in a diverse household; his adoptive family is Jewish, his biological mother is Irish Catholic, and his biological father is African-American and a Jehovah’s Witness. His passion for inclusion and social justice inspired him to found the Sphinx Organization, which works to help reflect the diversity in the US in orchestras. The digital and mixed media works in this exhibit combine elements of music, diversity, and an evolving aesthetic of the abstract that mirrors a disjunct search for unconditional love.

In her early career, Linda Erf Swift worked as a teacher and social worker in public schools, and later graduated from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. 12 years into her current work, Swift photographs students in three high schools on Chicago’s Southside: Kenwood Academy, King College Prep (public schools) and University High (private). She asks seniors to bring in a quotation they believe speaks to their identity, and Swift takes their portrait with it on a blackboard behind them. The images challenge viewers to evaluate their assumptions about adolescents by opening a door into what young people really think and aspire to. The students’ choices reveal a youth culture that is wise and artistic, assertive and joyful, discerning and full of possibility.

A Lunchtime Conversation about "White Fragility" (March 9, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73606 73606-18269831@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 9, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Center for Social Solutions

Free and open to the University of Michigan community. Please RSVP. Lunch will be served starting at 11:45am.

Please join us for a lunchtime conversation about "White Fragility" with Professor Alford A. Young. This lunchtime conversation is designed to prepare attendees for Robin DiAngelo's March 13th visit to the University of Michigan. From a public policy lens, Professor Young will evaluate the impact that public policies—both current and historical—have on racial and/or ethnic inequalities and discuss how it relates to other dimensions of social life.

Alford A. Young, Jr. is the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in the Departments of Sociology and Afroamerican and African Studies, with a courtesy appointment at the Ford School of Public Policy. He serves as associate director of U-M's Center for Social Solutions and faculty director for scholar engagement and leadership at Michigan's National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID). He has pursued research on low-income, urban-based African Americans, employees at an automobile manufacturing plant, African American scholars and intellectuals, and the classroom-based experiences of higher-education faculty as they pertain to diversity and multiculturalism. He employs ethnographic interviewing as his primary data collection method. His objective in research on low-income African American men, his primary area of research, has been to argue for a renewed cultural sociology of the African American urban poor. Young received an MA and PhD in sociology from the University of Chicago.

Freedom Writings: Black Abolitionists and the Struggle Against "Race Hatred" in Brazil - 1870-1890 (March 9, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72781 72781-18077119@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 9, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Department of History

How do you think about the experiences of freedom among black people in Brazil before the end of slavery in 1888? Interested in this question, this lecture presents a reflection on the experiences of free and literate black men, who were active in the press, as well as in the political-cultural landscape of the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in the second half of the nineteenth century. Ferreira de Menezes, Luiz Gama, Machado de Assis, José do Patrocinio, Ignacio de Araújo Lima, Arthur Carlos and Theophilo Dias de Castro are the central subjects in this narrative, along with so many other “free men of color” who sought in different ways to conquer and maintain their spaces in the public debate about the Brazil’s paths, while relying on the sustainability of their own individual projects. Against the grain of “ race hatred” daily practices, they not only contributed to debates on daily, abolitionist, black and literary newspapers, but also led the creation of resistance, confrontation and dialogue tools and mechanisms.

Ana Flávia Magalhães Pinto is an adjunct professor in the Department of History at the University of Brasília. She received her PhD in History from the State University of Campinas, her MA in History from the University of Brasília, and her BA in Journalism from The University Center of Brasília. Pinto has developed research articulating knowledge in the areas of History, Communication, Literature and Education, with an emphasis on political-cultural performance of black thinkers, black press, abolitionism and experiences of black freedom and citizenship in the slavery period and post-abolition in Brazil and elsewhere in the African Diaspora.

This lecture will take place on Monday, March 9, at 4:00pm in 1014 Tisch Hall.
