NERS Colloquia: Professional Cultures and Inequality in STEM (September 4, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75527 75527-19519126@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 4, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences

Can the culture of STEM help reproduce inequality? The professional
cultures of STEM, which give each discipline its particular “feel” and
unite discipline members under a taken-for-granted system of meanings
and values, are not benign. Drawing from several NSF-funded survey and
interview-based studies, I argue that these professional cultures can
have built within them disadvantages for women, racial/ethnic
minorities, and LGBTQ persons in STEM. In this talk, I will discuss
the role of three particular cultural ideologies—schemas of scientific
excellence, depoliticization, and the meritocratic ideology—in
producing these disadvantages. I will end by explaining why decisions
that partially rely on assessments of individuals’ “fit” with
professional cultures are particularly important to critically examine
for their potential to contribute to inequality.

Did you know there's nearly 20 different LGBTQ+ organizations active at the University of Michigan? Now, we can't have a panel with all of them, but we can introduce you to a few of them! Join representatives from five of these orgs to talk about their purpose, vision, and goals, and also to learn about what it's like to lead as an LGBTQ+ person at this university. We'll share how to connect with all the other orgs as well, so you can easily find your people. Come meet your community with us!

Learning Health Systems (LHS) methods are now being implemented in interesting and varying ways by academic health centers and their clinical and translational science institutes across the country.
According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the following are key attributes of Learning Health
Systems:

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

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

Panelists:
Kevin B. Johnson, MD, MS, FAAP, FACMI, Vanderbilt University
Christopher J. Lindsell, PhD, Vanderbilt University
Philip Payne, PhD, FACMI, Washington University
Michael Pencina, PhD, Duke University
Eric G. Poon, MD, MPH, Duke University

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

If you have any questions or if accommodations are needed to access the Zoom Meeting or the content of the presentation, please contact Mikalia Dennis (mikaliad@umich.edu) as soon as possible.

In order to have meaningful, productive conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion, we must start with a common language. This session will provide an introduction to key terminology as well as the categories and labels we use to describe others and ourselves. We will also examine how our identities shape the way we enter the world and our interactions with each other. Emphasis will be placed on using our identities to help us understand the identities and experiences of others.

In this session, participants will:

- Identify the benefits of inclusive environments
- Review key terminology related to diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Reflect on the origin of identities, their intersectionality, and their meanings
- Use our own identities as a window to understanding the identities of others to build more authentic, empathic relationships

Audience:

This session is open to all LSA Staff.

From the speaker: In this talk I tell stories about my own experiences with therapy, the stigmas around therapy, being 1st generation, and the experiences with being from a war-torn country has meant for me and my family. Also I discuss how colonialism has impacted the ways that machismo functions within my context. Finally I explore how I have reclaimed cooking and other tasks that I distanced myself from in order to illustrate how we can also carry our ancestors good name with us, while healing from generation trauma.

There's many reasons why someone would want to be a mentor - you remember an older student or professor giving you guidance through undergrad, you've learned a lot and want to pass it on, you had a hard time and want to make sure younger students don't have to deal with what you did - but what makes a good mentor? What skills do you need, how do you make the relationship beneficial to both you and the mentee? What if you mess something up? Mentorship can be an exciting and terrifying prospect, but we're here to give you some tips.

We've brought together a panel of experienced LGBTQ+ staff and faculty who participate as mentors in our MaPPS (Mentoring and Personal/Professional Support) program to talk about what they've learned about being a good influence and building trust with a mentee. Afterwards, ask the panelists questions and consider signing up for our GPS (Guidance - Perspective - Support) program, our peer-to-peer mentorship opportunity, and start using those skills today!

Organized By: Aerospace Engineering

The Black Students in Aerospace (BSA), a new student organization within the Department of Aerospace engineering, would like to invite you to attend our upcoming movie night event.

Over the course of this summer, there has been a resurgence of support, activism, and protests for Black Lives Matter and other human rights issues that have cast a spotlight on the systemic racism present in society. Our organization felt it was important to tie these issues back to the department in order to continue the discourse as well as to bring visibility to the ways their peers are affected.

Because of this, we decided to host a viewing of the documentary I Am Not Your Negro by James Baldwin. The movie will be followed by a guided discussion with a panel of Black engineering students, alumni, and professors from U-M including Alec D. Gallimore, Robert J. Vlasic Dean of Engineering. 

Friday October 2nd
Movie: 6:00pm - 7:30pm (Eastern Time)
Panel: 7:30pm - 8:30pm (Eastern Time)

Please RSVP at https://tinyurl.com/bsa-movie-night

***It is important to note that the film includes brief moments of graphic images, specifically images of lynchings and police brutality.

"In times of turmoil and transformation—a locked-down present and an uncertain future—how do artists share wisdom and experience? How do they foster growth? As a vocalist singing in multiples languages, as a composer straddling genres and styles, as a musician playing instruments whose histories span continents and centuries, and as a dancer and writer of compelling grace and power, Jen Shyu transforms wisdom from masters and stories gathered from communities around the world into fresh and original expressions. Her work off the bandstand focuses on fighting inequity and helping create new mentorship networks" (Larry Blumenfeld). During this session, Shyu will also perform new works composed during the lockdown period that are centered around quarantine as well as the Black Lives Matter movement.

Jen Shyu ("Shyu" pronounced "Shoe" in English, Chinese name: 徐秋雁, Pinyin: Xúqiūyàn) is a groundbreaking, multilingual vocalist, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, dancer, 2019 Guggenheim Fellow, 2019 United States Artists Fellow, 2016 Doris Duke Artist, and was voted 2017 Downbeat Critics Poll Rising Star Female Vocalist. Born in Peoria, Illinois, to Taiwanese and East Timorese immigrant parents, Shyu is widely regarded for her virtuosic singing and riveting stage presence, carving out her own beyond-category space in the art world. She has performed with or sung the music of such musical innovators as Nicole Mitchell, Anthony Braxton, Wadada Leo Smith, Steve Coleman, Vijay Iyer, Bobby Previte, Chris Potter, Michael Formanek and David Binney. Shyu has performed her own music on prestigious world stages such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rubin Museum of Art, Ojai Festival, Ringling International Arts Festival, Asia Society, Roulette, Blue Note, Bimhuis, Salihara Theater, National Gugak Center, National Theater of Korea and at festivals worldwide.

A Stanford University graduate in opera with classical violin and ballet training, Shyu had already won many piano competitions and performed the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto (3rd mvmt.) with the Peoria Symphony Orchestra by the age of 13. She speaks 10 languages and has studied traditional music and dance in Cuba, Taiwan, Brazil, China, South Korea, East Timor and Indonesia, conducting extensive research which culminated in her 2014 stage production Solo Rites: Seven Breaths, directed by renowned Indonesian filmmaker Garin Nugroho.

Shyu has won commissions and support from NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship, Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, MAP Fund, US-Japan Creative Artists Fellowship from Japan-US Friendship Commission and National Endowment for the Arts, Jerome Foundation, Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works, Exploring the Metropolis, New Music USA, Jazz Gallery, and Roulette, as well as fellowships from the Fulbright Scholar Program, Civitella Ranieri Foundation, Asian Cultural Council, Hermitage Artist Retreat, Yaddo, MacDowell Colony, Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Korean Ministry of Sports, Culture, and Tourism.

Shyu has produced seven albums as a leader, including the first female-led and vocalist-led album Pi Recordings has released, Synastry (Pi 2011), with co-bandleader and bassist Mark Dresser. Her critically acclaimed Sounds and Cries of the World (Pi 2015) landed on many best-of-2015 lists, including those of The New York Times, The Nation, and NPR. Her latest album Song of Silver Geese (Pi 2017) is receiving rave reviews and was also included on The New York Times’ Best Albums of 2017.

In the new virtual series, PERFORMING THE MOVEMENT, PERFORMING THE MOMENT, Center for World Performance Studies invites performers and scholars from diverse disciplines to reflect on how performance is being used to respond to the political, social, health and environmental crises that we face at this moment. Each guest will give a 30 minute presentation, and then engage in 30 minutes of Q&A. Sessions will take place over Zoom and require advance registration. You can read about the panelists, register for these events, find recommended reading and resources and/or request recordings of past events at https://lsa.umich.edu/world-performance.

Our hope is to raise critical consciousness, understand the opportunity for actions, and how our resources can be distributed.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to:

Define anti-racism
Identify 1-2 examples of how racism manifests in daily lives
Recognize their participation in a racist system
Identify structural racism, and
Develop 1-2 action steps

Organized By: Aerospace Engineering

The Black Students in Aerospace (BSA), a new student organization within the Department of Aerospace engineering, would like to invite you to attend our upcoming movie night event.

Over the course of this summer, there has been a resurgence of support, activism, and protests for Black Lives Matter and other human rights issues that have cast a spotlight on the systemic racism present in society. Our organization felt it was important to tie these issues back to the department in order to continue the discourse as well as to bring visibility to the ways their peers are affected.

Because of this, we decided to host a viewing of the documentary I Am Not Your Negro by James Baldwin. The movie will be followed by a guided discussion with a panel of Black engineering students, alumni, and professors from U-M including Alec D. Gallimore, Robert J. Vlasic Dean of Engineering. 

Friday October 2nd
Movie: 6:00pm - 7:30pm (Eastern Time)
Panel: 7:30pm - 8:30pm (Eastern Time)

Please RSVP at https://tinyurl.com/bsa-movie-night

***It is important to note that the film includes brief moments of graphic images, specifically images of lynchings and police brutality.

Wikipedia is the largest, most popular online reference work, covering all areas of history and contemporary life. However, both the topics it covers and the people who edit its articles don’t reflect the diversity of the LGBTQ community - most editors and article subjects are straight, cis, white men. Let's change that. In honor of LGBTQ History Month and National Coming Out Week, join us for LGBTQ+ Wikithon 2020! This year, we'll be challenging folks to edit throughout the week, and then join us on Friday, October 8th from 2 - 3 PM for a debrief. There will also be two hours of co-working on Monday and an hour of co-working leading up to the debrief, where you can join a call and chat with other editors!

Undermining Racial Justice: How One University Embraced Inclusion and Inequality (October 6, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/75663 75663-19558810@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 6, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

In Undermining Racial Justice, Matthew Johnson (Texas Tech University) contends that over the last sixty years, administrators on college campuses nationwide have responded to black campus activists by making racial inclusion and inequality compatible.

Focusing on the University of Michigan, Johnson argues that U-M leaders incorporated black student dissent selectively into the institution's policies, practices, and values. This strategy was used to prevent activism from disrupting the institutional priorities that campus leaders deemed more important than racial justice. As Johnson illustrates, inclusion has always been a secondary priority, and, as a result, the policies of the late 1970s and 1980s ushered in a new and enduring era of racial retrenchment on campuses nationwide.

Join the author for a discussion of Undermining Racial Justice: How One University Embraced Inclusion and Inequality. Angela Dillard (University of Michigan) will serve as interlocutor.

Matthew Johnson is associate professor of history at Texas Tech University. He is currently an American Council of Learned Societies Fellow working on a book about the impact of urban campus police forces on Black communities and students.

Angela Dillard is the Richard A. Meisler Collegiate Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies, History, and in the Residential College. She specializes in American and African American intellectual history, particularly around issues of race, religion, and politics—on both the Left and the Right sides of the political spectrum—and maintains an active interest in urban studies.

Free and open to the public. This is a remote event and will take place online via Zoom. Please register in advance here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_a90DMOeVRZy18VWjsPyc_A

This event is presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.

Anti-Racism Peer-Led Teach-In

Racial justice begins with anti-racism. Anti-racism is the active process of identifying and eliminating racism by changing systems, organizational structures, policies, practices, and attitudes so that power is redistributed and shared equitably (University of Calgary). This peer-led teach-in will engage analytical frameworks for examining systemic cultural, social, economic, and political forces in the community along with individual reflection. Our hope is to raise critical consciousness, understand the opportunity for actions, and how our resources can be distributed.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to:

Define anti-racism
Identify 1-2 examples of how racism manifests in daily lives
Recognize their participation in a racist system
Identify structural racism, and
Develop 1-2 action steps

This teach-in is offered as part of the Latinx Heritage Month Program.

Organized By: Michigan Engineering

Michigan Engineering is working towards launching sustained, pervasive education around issues of race, ethnicity, unconscious bias and inclusion for everyone in Engineering – students, faculty and staff – within one year.

We have assembled a number of Community Teams to develop five proposals to bring DEI education and awareness, with an initial focus on race and ethnicity, to all persons in the Michigan Engineering community.

The proposals were developed to provide opportunities to expand our collective knowledge on matters related to diversity, equity and inclusion. 

EnginTalks is just one of many forums to come where our community can ask questions and most importantly, share ideas and recommendations regarding the proposals.

In our dynamic world, the pursuit of health equity is both valiant and never complete. Generations of public health leaders have devoted themselves to the ultimate goal of a healthier, more equitable world for all. Bringing contemporary leaders to share their insights, vision, and perseverance is the principle of Ahead of the Curve, a new speaker series from the University of Michigan School of Public Health. The series launches in the fall of 2020 with a focus on personal storytelling from dynamic leaders during a pandemic and beyond.

Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Registration required: http://myumi.ch/xmX0z

In this session, Cardona Otero will depart from his most recent performance art piece, Taxonomía of a Spicy Espécimen, to engage in a conversation about his work in the arts and in education. In Cardona’s words: “I’m a work in progress. As well, more and more I am understanding my performative art and pedagogy as works in progress. I am affected by this pandemic racism, this antiblackness, this sexism, and this state of white supremacy; and this infection affects what and how I craft and enact.”

Javier Cardona Otero is a performing artist, critical educator, and facilitator of art experiences as education. His artistic scholarship, which has been presented throughout the Caribbean, Latin America and the United States, seeks to critically investigate sociocultural capitals particularly regarded to issues of race, gender, and the environment. His work is interdisciplinary and intersectional, focusing on art-making as research and embodied artwork as pedagogy. Currently, Javier is a Curriculum and Instruction PhD student in the Arts Education Program at Indiana University-Bloomington.

In this new virtual series, Center for World Performance Studies invites performers and scholars from diverse disciplines to reflect on how performance is being used to respond to the political, social, health and environmental crises that we face at this moment. Each guest will give a 30 minute presentation, and then engage in 30 minutes of Q&A. Sessions will take place over Zoom and require advance registration. You can read about the panelists, register for these events, find recommended reading and resources and/or request recordings of past events at https://lsa.umich.edu/world-performance.

From the very beginning the United States has dealt with Native Americans with a series of policies and treaties. Most of the policies were aimed at assimilation. For many years Native Americans were forced to live by standards set by the United States. But with the formation of the American Indian Movement, they started to fight back. Learn about the beginnings of the American Indian Movement and the organized protests that they led including the Occupation of Alcatraz and Wounded Knee. And also learn how the activism of the 1960's lives on today and how we are dealing with issues in the Native community today.

Flint First Day of Action: Literature Drop Campaign (October 17, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/78496 78496-20079924@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, October 17, 2020 10:00am
Location:
Organized By: Students of Michigan (CSG)

Event Sponsors: ACLU, UM Flint, Latinx Technology Center

A day of action is a city-wide literature drop campaign to inform Flint residents on their voting rights for the 2020 general election. Organized volunteers will be spread throughout the community to address historic voter suppression and intimidation tactics. Due to Flint’s historically low voter turnout rate, it is important that we are active in encouraging ALL people to exercise their constitutional responsibility and vote.

Saturday, October 17th
10 am to 2 pm

We have four sites volunteers will be assigned to:
Latinx Technology and Community Center ​- *2101 Lewis St. Flint, MI 48506*
Boys and Girls Club of Greater Flint - *​3701 N Averill Ave, Flint, MI 48506*
Flint Development Center - ​ ​*4121 Martin Luther King Ave, Flint, MI 48505*
Sylvester Broom Empowerment Village - ​*4119 N. Saginaw Flint, MI 48505*

The Flint First Initiative ​was created to extend a strong student leadership presence in the community beyond The University of Michigan-Flint campus. The goal of the Initiative is to register and inform a historically disenfranchised community affected by voter suppression and systemic racism.

For our second phase of the initiative, we are mobilizing 300 volunteers to participate in a door-to-door literature drop campaign to inform residents of their voting rights, on ​Saturday, October 17, 2020.​ The target goal for this day is 21,000 households. There will be guest speakers who are elected officials from local, state and federal governments.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

A panel discussion presented in partnership with the American Academy of Arts & Sciences

What does it mean to be a citizen of the United States? The Constitution does not define who gets to be a citizen, or what citizenship means. Rather, citizenship has been defined over time, often through struggle and activism by people who were denied the full rights of citizenship. The Clements Library at the University of Michigan in partnership with the American Academy of Arts & Sciences will host a virtual panel discussion featuring Derrick Spires of Cornell University (author of *The Practice of Citizenship: Black Politics and Print Culture in the Early United States*) and Martha Jones of Johns Hopkins University (author of *Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America* and *Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers, Won the Vote, and Insisted on Equality for All*). The conversation will be moderated by Ben Vinson III, Provost of Case Western Reserve University.

In anticipation of the discussion, Clements Library Director Paul Erickson highlights recent work by Spires, Jones and AAA&S in this blog post: myumi.ch/2DlAZ

REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

Healthcare and health remain unconscionably inequitable. This year, the disproportionate toll the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on those historically least well-served by our health system, has highlighted the pressing societal challenge of health disparities.

Beyond simply striving to do no harm, Learning Health Systems (LHSs) have the potential to serve as forces for justice in healthcare and health; indeed, they can be powerful drivers of diversity, equity, and inclusion. LHSs are anchored in multi-stakeholder consensus Core Values that explicitly incorporate principles such as inclusiveness, transparency, and accessibility. Their proximal goal is "to efficiently and equitably serve the learning needs of all participants, as well as the overall public good."

The October 2020 LHS Collaboratory will share lessons from health advocates working on the front lines to make healthcare and health more equitable. These thought leaders and do-ers will illuminate the transformative power of LHSs - and the diverse and inclusive communities of interest that are collaborating to realize them.

Tiffany Ng performs several selections from her recent concerts in solidarity with the Movement for Black Lives and #SayHerName on the carillon, and discusses recent efforts on this most public of instruments to expand beyond a diversity, equity & inclusion mindset to an actively anti-racist approach to the music that hundreds to thousands of people hear from bell towers each day.

Tiffany Ng (she/her/hers) is an assistant professor of carillon and university carillonist at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. An energetic advocate of diversity in contemporary music, she has premiered or revived over sixty pieces by emerging and established composers from Augusta Read Thomas to Yvette Janine Jackson, pioneered models for interactive “crowdsourced” carillon performances and environmental-data-driven sound installations with Greg Niemeyer, Chris Chafe, Ed Campion, Ken Goldberg, John Granzow, and Laura Steenberge, and through her composer collaborations significantly increased the American repertoire for carillon and electronics.

In this new virtual series, Center for World Performance Studies invites performers and scholars from diverse disciplines to reflect on how performance is being used to respond to the political, social, health and environmental crises that we face at this moment.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)

REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

We will discuss Election Integrity as the 2020 Presidential Election approaches amidst conversation around mail-in voting, the counting of absentee ballots and access to the polls across the country.

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, LSA Psychology and Michigan Medicine.

The scientific case against racism (October 22, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/77302 77302-19836072@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 22, 2020 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Life Sciences Institute (LSI)

Neuroscientist and author David Linden will discuss some of the findings from his upcoming book, Unique: The Science of Human Individuality, which explores the origins and importance of human individuality.

It is surprising that, with all of the ongoing examination of racism in general and anti-Blackness in particular, the compelling scientific case against racism has not been part of the discussion. This is a problem even people who are not overtly racist have imagined a scientific basis for certain racial myths and stereotypes. This talk will examine the assertions and assumptions of racist pseudoscience and show how contemporary genetics and neuroscience refute them.

About the speaker:
David Linden, Ph.D., is a professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His laboratory has worked for many years on the cellular basis of memory storage, recovery of function after brain injury and a few other topics. He has a longstanding interest in scientific communication and served for many years as the chief editor of the Journal of Neurophysiology. He is the author of three bestselling books on the biology of behavior: The Accidental Mind (2007), The Compass of Pleasure (2011) and Touch: The Science of Hand, Heart and Mind (2015) which, to date, have been translated into 19 languages. Most recently, he edited a collection of short essays on brain function written for a general audience: Think Tank: Forty Neuroscientists Explore the Biological Roots of Human Experience (2018). His has appeared on the TED Radio Hour, Fresh Air with Terry Gross and many other media outlets. His next book, Unique: The Science of Human Individuality will be published by Basic books on September 29, 2020.

Native Representation with Dr. Adrienne Keene (October 22, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78723 78723-20109386@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 22, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

Dr. Adrienne Keene (Cherokee Nation) is a Native scholar, writer, blogger, and activist, and is passionate about reframing how the world sees contemporary Native cultures. She is the creator and author of Native Appropriations, a blog discussing cultural appropriation and stereotypes of Native peoples in fashion, film, music, and other forms of pop culture. She is also a co-host of the All My Relations Podcast that aims to explore our relationships— relationships to land, to our creatural relatives, and to one another.

Through her writing and activism, Keene questions and problematizes the ways Indigenous peoples are represented, asking for celebrities, large corporations, and designers to consider the ways they incorporate "Native" elements into their work. She is very interested in the way Native peoples are using social and new media to challenge misrepresentations and present counter-narratives that showcase true Native cultures and identities.

Adrienne holds a doctorate in Culture, Communities, and Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her research focuses on college access for Native (American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian) students and the role of precollege access programs in student success. She is currently working on a book about Native students in the college process, documenting the work of College Horizons, an incredible precollege program for Native students.

This talk will focus on stereotypes and cultural appropriation, and looks at the ways Native peoples are represented throughout popular culture and the ways Native peoples are pushing back on misrepresentation through social and new media. This talk explores the ways Native peoples have harnessed the power of storytelling through social media to change perceptions, make our communities visible, and tell our own modern, diverse stories in our own voices.

What if your sex ed class included asexuality? Most sexual education is not ace-friendly, much less ace-focused, and we're going to take a stab at fixing that! This interactive workshop will focus on defining terms like consent, desire, and arousal, communication in relationships, setting boundaries, and being proud of your identity! You will be invited to reflect on how you experience your sexuality and have the opportunity to learn from asexual and ace-spectrum experiences.

This year’s Symposium will be a virtual event that includes a series of presentations and workshops that will take place over the course of the academic year.

At the kickoff event on October 23, Dr. Martha Jones will discuss the role of Black women in the civil rights and voting rights movements and the ongoing struggle for voting rights for different populations. The kickoff will also highlight 2020 CEW+ Carol Hollenshead Inspire Award for Excellence in Promoting Equity and Social Change awardees who will present lightning talks about their work as a precursor to a full-length workshop that will happen later in the academic year as a component of the Symposium. The learning opportunities throughout the year-long Symposium will supplement Democracy and Debate Theme Semester coursework and activities.

This Symposium is free and open to all activists, advocates, and allies from all U-M campuses (students, staff, faculty) as well as the local community.

The CEW+ Advocacy Symposium is organized in partnership with IRWG and Clements Library with funding from CEW+’s Frances & Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund.

The 2020 Building Power Against White Supremacy Conference: Beyond Voting is this Saturday, October 24, 2020, from 12 PM to 4:30 PM ET!

Register today at https://buildingpower20.wixsite.com/bpaws2020.

With the U.S. general election days away, we’ll have rich conversations all afternoon about how we might reimagine our current democracy. While the theme speaks to a crucial election year where our votes are an explicit argument against white supremacy and anti-blackness, we also know that voting is not the only tool we wield to transform the injustices we are immersed in.

Come! Join in community to learn about what other tools we have. Build relationships, care for ourselves and one another, and dig into how we abolish the systems that bind us to the settler colonial project of white supremacy.

We invite you to visit our website to browse the conference schedule, explore this year’s Beyond Voting theme, and register for the conference at https://buildingpower20.wixsite.com/bpaws2020.

The virtual DEI Summit provides an opportunity for the University to highlight the progress we’ve made over the previous year, the changes we’re experiencing across campus, and the opportunities of continued engagement with our community.

This year’s theme, Arts+Social Change: Building an Anti-Racist World through the Arts, provides a time and space for the campus community to come together to demonstrate a collective commitment to anti-racism that this moment in our history compels. During the fall term Democracy & Debate theme semester, the DEI Summit will focus on the arts as a vehicle for social change and provides an opportunity for curricular integration and connection. Both the theme semester and the Summit confirm our civic engagement values and demonstrate the power of each voice – both at the ballot box and through creative expression.

Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

In conjunction with Rackham 580: Introduction to Disability Studies, UMInDS is pleased to bring outstanding scholars, activists, and scholar-activists to our campus as we explore criptographies. A word-play on terms cryptography, the study of ciphers and secret codes, and to crip, a colloquialism that assembles knowledge around nonnormative bodyminds, criptographies suggests an exploration of de-mapped ecologies of neurodivergence and nonnormative embodiment.

Dr. Liat Ben-Moshe
Assistant Professor of Criminology, Law, and Justice
University of Illinois at Chicago

Liat Ben-Moshe (she/her) is the author of Decarcerating Disability (2020), which shows how abolition is not an unattainable goal, but rather a reality, and how it plays out in different arenas of incarceration-antipsychiatry, the field of intellectual disabilities, and the fight against the prison-industrial complex.

REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

Organized By: The Program on Intergroup Relations (IGR)

The 2020 Election is fast approaching, and this election season has seen a lot of division and tension. As a program, IGR focuses on intergroup dialogic experiences across social identity groups. In preparation for the election, we wanted to provide an opportunity to look at the intersection of identity as it relates to politics. Using the UMMA and Ginsberg Center Dialogue Deck, we will examine 12 art pieces from UMMA that provide commentary on the intersection of identity, democracy, and politics. We will have a free-form dialogue on what we see in these images and what we can learn about the impact of identity on politics and what it means for this election.

Iconic Images: Charlottesville 2017, Selma 1965, Birmingham 1963 (October 30, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78741 78741-20115265@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 30, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Film, Television, and Media

REGISTRATION REQUIRED - SEE LINK BELOW

The Martin Luther King-led Birmingham and Selma campaigns resulted in iconic photographic images that to this day signify “the civil rights movement”: typically those images feature empowered, active whites and victimized, powerless blacks. The events of August 11th and 12th during Charlottesville’s “Summer of Hate” have also produced a group of iconic images that the mass media relies on to signify the violent and emboldened racist hatred of the “Unite the Right” rally and its aftermath. In analyzing and comparing the most frequently circulated photographs, I want to suggest a similarity in the narrative that these frequently circulated photos tend to tell about the struggle for racial justice. A photo of the terrorist car attack that killed Heather Heyer won the Pulitzer Prize. Why? What is this horrifically chaotic, violent, almost visually incomprehensible photo communicating? Why is this image reproduced over and over again? How is it thematically and visually similar to iconic images from the civil rights era? How and why does it matter that our photographic record encourages us to remember key events around race and white supremacy in particular ways?

Aniko Bodroghkozy is a Professor of Media Studies at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville where she has been on faculty since 2001. She is a media historian with a particular focus on American television, the social change movements of the 1960s, media audiences and reception practices in historical context, and the development of television journalism in the 1960s.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

In Manufacturing Celebrity, Vanessa Díaz pulls the curtain back on Hollywood, tracing the complex power dynamics of the reporting and paparazzi work that fuel contemporary American celebrity culture. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, her experience reporting for People magazine, and dozens of interviews with photographers, journalists, publicists, magazine editors, and celebrities, Díaz examines the racialized and gendered labor involved in manufacturing and selling relatable celebrity personas. The predominantly male Latino paparazzi can face life-threatening situations and endure vilification that echoes anti-immigrant rhetoric. On the other hand, celebrity reporters, most of whom are white women, are expected to leverage their sexuality to generate coverage, which makes them vulnerable to sexual exploitation and assault. In pointing out the precarity of those who hustle to make a living by generating the bulk of celebrity media, Díaz highlights the profound inequities of the systems that provide consumers with 24/7 coverage of their favorite stars. Highlighting the highly visual nature of Manufacturing Celebrity, this talk explores the main themes and theoretical frameworks of the book while engaging with several of the images that fill its pages.

Vanessa Díaz is a multimedia ethnographer and journalist whose work focuses on issues of race, gender, and labor in popular culture across the Americas. Grounded in her experience as a red carpet reporter for People magazine, Díaz’s first book Manufacturing Celebrity: Latino Paparazzi and Women Reporters in Hollywood focuses on hierarchies of labor as well as racial and gender politics in the production of celebrity-focused media. Díaz is a co-author of UCLA’s 2017 Hollywood Diversity Report, director of the film Cuban HipHop: Desde el Principio, and the media editor for Transforming Anthropology. Her research has been profiled in such outlets as the Atlantic, the Los Angeles Times, and NBC News. Díaz is an assistant professor in the Department of Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies at Loyola Marymount University.

Black College Student Mental Health: What institutions need to know and do to support healing and thriving in a time of racial crisis (November 5, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78024 78024-19955553@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 5, 2020 12:00pm

Organized By: LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Along with academic impacts, college contexts can serve to support or challenge students’ personal development and well-being in important ways. Increasingly, researchers and higher education institutions are paying attention to college student mental health, but less of this focus has considered the specific contextual experiences, challenges, and supports relevant to Black students’ mental health as they enter and navigate predominantly White institutions (PWI). College student research shows that, along with the social and academic challenges of college experienced by most/all students, Black students routinely report negative race-related experiences in their PWI settings - microaggressions and discrimination; biased stereotype-based treatment, low expectations; and both isolation/exclusion and hypervisibility (over-monitoring as suspicious or dangerous) due to race. Black students’ racially marginalizing experiences are sometimes tied to students’ multiple identities (e.g., their race along with their ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, or sexual orientations, among other identities). Such devaluing experiences have been linked to poorer academic achievement and persistence outcomes, but these experiences likely function to undermine mental health as well.


Now more than ever, a focus on Black college student mental health is critical. In 2020, Black students are entering their college campuses (in-person or remotely) after a summer of widespread protests against anti-Black police violence and systemic racism, sparked by public witnessing of videos depicting murders and brutalizing of Black Americans by police. Many Black students are also coming from communities disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the knowledge that these differential impacts are directly and indirectly due to systemic racism. Thus, while Black students bring many personal and cultural strengths to their campuses that can be leveraged to support their positive college adjustment, they also experience unique challenges and vulnerabilities due to racism - both on their campuses and in the broader society - that can undermine their well-being and thriving on campus. Higher education must be accountable in understanding Black student experiences and, importantly, acting on this knowledge to meet the goals of supporting and serving all students equitably.


This webinar will feature the research of three scholars actively engaged in research on the positive mental health of Black college students. All are grant recipients of the 2020 National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID) Pop-Up Grant program cycle, themed around Mental Health among Marginalized Communities, and co-sponsored in partnership with The Steve Fund. Each scholar will share research findings yielded from their grant projects and outline specific implications and recommendations for research and action.

RESCHEDULED: The 5th Annual Robert J. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture on Native American Studies: A Conversation with Tommy Orange (November 6, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72820 72820-20058231@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 6, 2020 7:00pm

Organized By: Native American Studies

The Department of Native American Studies presents The 5th Annual Robert J. Berkhofer Jr. Lecture: A Conversation with Tommy Orange, award-winning, New York Times Best-selling novelist.

The Berkhofer Lecture is scheduled for Friday, November 6th, 2020, at 7:00 pm on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/97486211859

Tommy Orange is the author of the bestselling New York Times novel There There, a multigenerational, relentlessly paced story about a side of America few of us have ever explored – the lives of urban Native Americans. There There was one of the New York Times’ 10 Best books of the year and won the Center for Fictions First Novel Prize and the Pen/Hemingway Award. There There was longlisted for the National Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Orange graduated from the MFA program at the Institute of American Indian Arts, and was a 2014 MacDowell Fellow, and a 2016 Writing by Writers Fellow. He is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. He was born and raised in Oakland California.

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.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Housing Diversity and Inclusion

The purpose of this event is to offer the residents of Mosher-Jordan a space for thoughtful conversations amongst peers in relation to the 2020 election. Given the uncertainty of whether the results of the 2020 election will be known sooner or later, conversations in this space may range from processing of election results, thinking generally about what the next four years will look like, to other areas of individual or collective reflection.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

The Women’s Suffrage Movement in Photographs (November 7, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76976 76976-19782538@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, November 7, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William L. Clements Library

Since the nation’s founding, Americans have used images to define political power and gender roles. Popular pictures praised male political leaders, while cartoons mocked women who sought rights. In the mid-nineteenth century, women’s rights activists like Sojourner Truth and Susan B. Anthony challenged these powerful norms by distributing engraved and photographic portraits that represented women as political leaders. Over time, suffragists developed a national visual campaign to win voting rights. Their photographs captured their public protests and demonstrated their dedication to their cause for mass audiences. Allison Lange’s talk is based on her book, "Picturing Political Power: Images in the Women’s Suffrage Movement," published in May 2020 by the University of Chicago Press. The book focuses on the ways that women’s rights activists and their opponents used images to define gender and power during the suffrage movement.

Presented in partnership with the Michigan Photographic Historical Society.

Allison K. Lange is an assistant professor of history at the Wentworth Institute of Technology. She received her PhD in history from Brandeis University. Various institutions have supported her work, including the National Endowment for the Humanities, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Library of Congress, and American Antiquarian Society. Her writing has appeared in Imprint, The Atlantic, and The Washington Post. Lange also engages in public history. She has worked with the National Women’s History Museum and curated exhibitions for the Boston Public Library’s Leventhal Map Center. In preparation for the 2020 centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment, she is curator of exhibitions at the Massachusetts Historical Society and Harvard’s Schlesinger Library.

Envisioning an Anti-Racist World Creative Challenge: Information Session (November 9, 2020 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79096 79096-20207878@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 9, 2020 12:30pm

Organized By: Arts Initiative

How do you imagine a vision for an Anti-Racist World (campus, community, neighborhood, city, state, country), that truly embodies the ideals of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice for the future? In line with the work many members of the University’s community have been doing, and that has come into sharp focus in recent months with calls for action throughout the country and world, the Envisioning an Anti-Racist World Creative Challenge invites students to imagine a future world–and a future campus– that is anti-racist. We invite undergraduate and graduate students to research and share ideas while contributing to probing conversations and sharing experiences about racial inequality and the complex history of white supremacy as a process of imagining the world we want to build at UM.

Students can join as individuals then form interdisciplinary teams through the challenge process to take on the semester-long challenge taking place Winter 2021. Taking forward the core DEI values of the University and its community, teams will design the future, asking:

How would you envision the world you want to build?
What issue do you want to resolve?
What societal impact do you want to make?

A word-play on terms cryptography, the study of ciphers and secret codes, and to crip, a colloquialism that assembles knowledge around nonnormative bodyminds, criptographies suggests an exploration of de-mapped ecologies of neurodivergence and nonnormative embodiment.

REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.

Synopsis:
An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

96 Minutes.

Learn how they overcame obstacles, supported their family members, and their experiences of frequent moves, living on a military bases and traveling across the US and the globe.

They are a resilient and determined addition to our military-connected student family and they bring a lot to our campus! Come and hear their stories!

"Weight of Honor" Film Discussion and Panel (November 12, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78642 78642-20077958@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 12, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Veteran and Military Services

“The Weight of Honor” is the first comprehensive documentary to chronicle the lives of families caring for their
catastrophically wounded returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over the course of five years, the film follows the arc of what
happens when some of America's best and strongest volunteer to protect our nation, but return home physically and emotionally
broken and disillusioned. What happens when they return is not only a personal journey but also that of their family caregivers who
have no training other than the love for their wounded. Our military does not prepare families for the return of a wounded warrior.
“The Weight of Honor” tells their stories of strength, exhaustion, conflict, and even humor as they chart a course through the
unknown

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

If you have any questions or if accommodations are needed to access the Zoom Meeting or the content of the presentation, please contact Mikalia Dennis (mikaliad@umich.edu) as soon as possible.

In order to have meaningful, productive conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion, we must start with a common language. This session will provide an introduction to key terminology as well as the categories and labels we use to describe others and ourselves. We will also examine how our identities shape the way we enter the world and our interactions with each other. Emphasis will be placed on using our identities to help us understand the identities and experiences of others.

In this session, participants will:

- Identify the benefits of inclusive environments
- Review key terminology related to diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Reflect on the origin of identities, their intersectionality, and their meanings
- Use our own identities as a window to understanding the identities of others to build more authentic, empathic relationships

Audience:

This session is open to all LSA Staff.
