U-M Community: Free Digital Screening of SOME OLD BLACK MAN (February 28, 2021 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/82016 82016-21006753@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, February 28, 2021 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Engineering

You are invited to a special screening for the U-M community of SOME OLD BLACK MAN, a live theater piece produced by the University Musical Society (UMS) and filmed under strict public health and safety protocols as part of acclaimed actor Wendell Pierce’s (The Wire, Jack Ryan) Digital Artist Residency at the University of Michigan.

The screening is free with registration and available on-demand from Wednesday, February 24 through Sunday, February 28. Duration is approximately 1 hour, 45 minutes. Closed captioning is available.

Written only a few years before the history-making events of 2020, Some Old Black Man frames racial prejudice with an honesty rarely confronted and dramatized. It challenges people of all ages to learn about the unique perspective of elders whose lived struggles created opportunities for future generations and to confront the experiential divides that can grow larger due to generational differences.

Black History Month's Closing Speaker - JANAYA KHAN (March 1, 2021 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82365 82365-21070618@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 1, 2021 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

MESA is proud to present Black History Month's Closing Speaker - JANAYA KHAN. Join us for a thrilling event where Janaya Khan will discuss “The Future within the Black Lives Matter Movement and The Intersections of being a Black, Queer, and Gender-Nonconforming Activist" This event is sponsored by The Spectrum Center and Central Student Government, and will be co-moderated by students Adrian King (they/them), PhD candidate in American Culture, and Jolyna Chiangong, who will be joined by Vice President Of Student Life Dr. Martino Harmon.

With a timely message about the transformational power of protest, Janaya Khan is a leading activist who engages their community in a profound discussion about social justice and equality. Known as ‘Future’ within the Black Lives Matter movement, Janaya is a black, queer, gender-nonconforming activist (pronouns: they, them, theirs), staunch Afrofuturist and social-justice educator who presents an enlightening point of view on police brutality and systemic racism.

“Throughout the political tumult of 2020, one of the most prominent voices to become a source of healing and hope was Janaya Future Khan, whose rapidly-growing audience across social media now numbers in the hundreds of thousands. But while the activist’s weekly Sunday Sermons on Instagram provided a necessary forum for those looking to reflect and regroup during the pandemic and the instances of police brutality that sparked a renewal of energy behind the Black Lives Matter movement, Khan’s activism extends much further back—all the way to their childhood, spent between Toronto and Florida, and their subsequent years as a competitive boxer.

Galvanized by the 2014 killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Jermaine Carby in Toronto at the hands of police officers, Khan has had a longstanding involvement in Black Lives Matter—even launching its first international chapter in Canada—and became a necessary and informed voice for those seeking direction last summer. And like many around the world, Khan found themselves dismayed and angered by the scenes that unfolded on Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol building, where riots led by Trump supporters sieged the building to disrupt the final counting of the Electoral College ballots in favor of Joe Biden’s Presidential win, resulting in five deaths.” BY LIAM HESS January 10, 2021

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.

“Diversity in Astronomy: The Role of Summer Research Programs”

Summer research is probably one of the most effective ways to give students experiences and motivation for a career in science. In 2002, I served as the first director of the UW-Madison Astrophysics REU program, and I have been involved in this program ever since, including running the program during the one summer where we had a gap in funding. I will describe the evolution of this program, my thoughts and experiences about what works, and what we could be doing better as a community. The continuity of this program has allowed us to obtain funding from the UW-Madison’s Graduate School, individual grants, and other sources. (This additional support has allowed us to fund 45 additional students beyond the NSF supported students.) From 2002 to 2018, over fifty mentors have worked with a total of 175 students, including 92 women (53%), 49 students who are members of under-represented minorities (URM, 28%), and four students with documented disabilities. We now have fifty-one alumni who have earned their PhDs (22 in Astronomy/Space Physics, 14 in Physics, and nine in other areas), including twenty-five women and eleven URM alumni.

Please note: Should you require any reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access and opportunity related to this event please contact Nicholle Cardinal at ndcard@umich.edu.

Organized By: Michigan Engineering

Most of us want to live in a society in which we compete and collaborate as equals – neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and other differences that historically divide privileged and oppressed.

What can we as individuals, as leaders and as engineers do to level the playing field and ensure that everyone is represented among the people choosing the directions of the future?

Our panel comprises three speakers who served as sources for the Six Diversity Myths series:

George Halow, 31-year Ford engineer and professor of practice in aerospace engineering: How can the privileged drive change?

Jennifer Linderman, the Pamela Raymond Collegiate Professor of Engineering and Director of the ADVANCE Program: Why don’t we have enough women and under-represented minorities in leadership positions, and what can we do about it?

David Tarver, President of the Urban Entrepreneurship Initiative and lecturer in the Center for Entrepreneurship: How could a new generation of tech-aware entrepreneurs empower the sustainable, equitable and multicultural cities of the future?

Complex Systems Seminar "Where models meet morality: What role should complexity science play in addressing racial and socioeconomic disparities in the COVID-19 crisis?"

ABSTRACT: Socioeconomic and racial inequalities in infection and mortality have been key features of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. While identifying these disparities is critical, it has also become clear that we lack the theoretical and methodological tools to integrate the mechanisms generating these inequities into models of infectious disease transmission. This is a huge gap, as such models have become key tools in developing policy and evaluating the impact of interventions ranging from social distancing to vaccination. In this talk, I will outline some of the work done by my research group that is focused on understanding the mechanistic drivers of spatial and socioeconomic variation in infection and death from SARS-CoV-2 in Michigan (see e.g. covidmapping.org) and conduct a walk-through of an interactive example of a model that attempts to integrate a key driver of infection inequality - residential segregation - into a model of infectious disease transmission.

All trans people are beautiful, and that sentiment is not always expressed. In times of isolation and disconnect from community, transgender and nonbinary individuals can lose sight of self-love and body positivity.

In Part 1, we will explore the topic of body positivity through the lens of the wellbeing model. The workshop will focus on collectively building a more trans-inclusive idea of body positivity based on our experiences and identities. By incorporating other transgender and non-binary voices in the workshop, the space will also explore what self-love looks like and how you can build a body-positive self-image.

In Part 2, we will continue diving into how to cultivate a body-positive self-image. Through personal reflection and group conversations, we will explore our own body origin stories and how body policing manifests within transgender and non-binary communities. With a focus on narratives and experiences, the workshop will provide participants with strategies to reframe and cultivate body positivity for ourselves, our relationships and our communities.

Attendance for Part 1 isn't required for Part 2, nor is it a commitment to attend Part 2. For both workshops, participants are encouraged to wear an article of clothing, accessory, or outfit that validates your identity and expression.

Motivation and Identity as Signals of Systemic Problems in Engineering Education (March 10, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82513 82513-21114065@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 10, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

There is a well-documented history of systemic engineering education problems ranging from a persistently chilly climate to a burgeoning mental health crisis. Outcomes of these problems include but are not limited to increased attrition, decreased learning, and reduced engineering innovation resulting from a homogenous engineering population. While these measures provide concrete evidence of systemic problems, they do not provide clear targets for change or an early warning system of how systemic problems influence students before crucial decision points.

To address the limitations of existing engineering education outcome measures, measures of how students internalize engineering experiences are needed. Students' motivations for engineering tasks and identifications as engineers can fill this gap as they are contextually responsive and connected to educational outcomes such as deep learning, student retention, and task persistence. Additionally, students' educational experiences directly influence their motivations and identities.

Informed by specific theories of motivation and identity (future time perspective and engineering role identity, respectively), this presentation describes how students' motivations and identities are shaped by their engineering education experiences and shape engineering education cultures. Specifically, I will discuss the homogenization of undergraduates' motivations and identities; the connections between motivation and identity and experiences of discrimination and bias; and the identity and motivationally undermining experiences of engineering graduate students. I will conclude by discussing actionable steps to shift engineering education defaults to foster students' motivations and identities.

Biographical Sketch: Dr. Adam Kirn is an Associate Professor of Engineering Education in the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research focuses on the ways students' motivations and identities shape and are shaped by their engineering education experiences. The results of this work seek to implement evidence-based practices to create educational defaults that foster student success and thriving. Adam has a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, an M.S. in Bioengineer, and a Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education from Clemson University.

Translation and Memory: Hispanofilipino Literature and the Archive in the US Midwest (March 12, 2021 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/77488 77488-21034701@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 12, 2021 9:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Seminar coordinator: Marlon James Sales (U-M Postdoctoral Fellow in Critical Translation Studies)

Although Filipino migration has historically converged in other places across the US, it is in the Midwest, particularly at the University of Michigan, where some of the most extensive archival sources on this Southeast Asian nation can be found. These sources are generally used to examine US imperialism in Asia-Pacific, often glossing over the fact that the American period in the Philippines also led to the flourishing of Filipino literature in Spanish as a nationalist response. In this second installment of our Mellon-funded Sawyer Seminars, we shall analyze the archive as a site of translation and historical memory as a multilingual construct, focusing specifically on Hispanofilipino texts in the libraries of the University of Michigan and the broader Midwest. Translation here means two things. Since Spanish has never been spoken widely in the Philippines despite three centuries of colonial rule, translation may refer to the rendering of texts in another language supposedly understood by a majority of local readers. But given the limitations in how archival data is stored in the Philippines, translation may also refer to the movement of the archival sources themselves, whether physically or digitally, thus reclaiming them as objects of cultural memory. How has translation contributed to a monolingualized commemoration of multilingual pasts? What are the stakes of reconstructing a nation’s history through texts written in colonial languages? In which ways can translation help in recuperating a peripheral literary tradition in Spanish?

Embracing Our Artistic Selves: Navigating Times of Crisis and Addressing Inequity (March 16, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80488 80488-20728307@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 16, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

RSVP here to receive the Zoom link: cew.umich.edu/events/embracing-our-artistic-selves-navigating-times-of-crisis-and-addressing-inequity


As a scholar focused on addressing equity within arts education, Dr. Fitzpatrick draws upon her formative experiences as a white teacher of students of color to examine systemic injustice within educational spaces. Within this workshop, she will encourage attendees to first connect with their own artistic selves, considering the ways that the arts are woven within their own life’s story. Following a journey to reconsider their positionality with regard to the arts, attendees will examine the ways that human beings use the arts to address injustice, particularly at moments of crisis such as those we are experiencing today. Equity in arts education will be examined from this broader perspective, with each participant reflecting on their own journey within educational spaces as it relates to identity and marginalization.

An integral part of the Inspire initiative is pairing advocacy, social change, and activism with skills that enhance a sense of wellbeing and focus. A short guided Mindfulness Meditation practice will be incorporated into the program.

Kate Fitzpatrick-Harnish, PhD is Associate Professor of Music Education for the School of Music, Theatre and Dance at the University of Michigan. Before coming to U-M in the fall of 2008, Fitzpatrick served as Assistant Professor of Music Education and Assistant Director of Bands at the University of Louisville. Fitzpatrick is an active and prolific researcher, focusing on the experiences of those who have been historically marginalized in music education. Her research has been published in the Journal of Research in Music Education, Research Studies in Music Education, the Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education, Contributions to Music Education, Southwestern Musician, the Music Educators Journal, and the Journal of Mixed Methods Research, in addition to numerous book chapters. Her book, Urban Music Education: A Practical Guide for Teachers, was published in 2015 by Oxford University Press. Fitzpatrick has served on the editorial boards of the Journal of Research in Music Education and Update: Applications of Research in Music Education, and is a member of the Music Education Advisory Board for the Save the Music Foundation. She is the past national elected chair of the Social Sciences Special Research Interest Group for the National Association of Music Education, and also serves as a frequent clinician and guest conductor with bands across the United States. An avid supporter of public school music programs, she is the former director of instrumental music at Northland High School in Columbus, Ohio, where she directed the district’s largest band and orchestra program and was awarded the Brass Band of Columbus’ 2003 God and Country Award, recognizing her “outstanding, sensitive leadership of young people.”

Register: https://bit.ly/LGBTQ-UM-Events

Spectrum Center is proud to present Faith & Coming out: a student & parent panel on family, community, and loving yourself. Many individuals in the LGBTQ+ community have questions, fears, and hopes about how their queerness interacts with their faith, but it's not a subject often talked about. In an effort to help our students understand themselves better, we have brought together five people to share their stories about coming out or being come out to. There isn't one method to create a perfect harmony between an individual's religion and LGBTQ+ identity, but highlighting more narratives can help reflect the many possible paths and make the journey just a little less uncertain.

This event's panelists come from the following religions: Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Catholicism.

Spectrum Center Event Accessibility Statement:
The Spectrum Center is dedicated to working towards offering equitable access to all of the events we organize. If you have an accessibility need you feel may not be automatically met at this event, fill out our Event Accessibility Form, found at http://bit.ly/SCaccess.

Building Bridges in a Divided World : The role of Interfaith collaboration in justice work (March 18, 2021 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82000 82000-21004765@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 18, 2021 6:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Jewish Communal Leadership Program

Join the Jewish Communal Leadership Program (JCLP) for a panel discussion about the transformative potential of interfaith work.

In the wake of a year shaped by a global pandemic, protests for racial justice, extreme political polarization, and more, so many in and outside the Jewish community are facing personal crises and family tragedies. Through it all, we have seen communities respond to those in need by forming and expanding mutual aid networks, advocating for comprehensive safety protocols and transparency, highlighting inequalities, and finding ways to stay connected in the midst of so much physical isolation. Faith-based and interfaith organizations have been uniquely positioned to offer support in this time.
We are so excited to explore this subject with five distinguished interfaith professionals:

Aziza Hazan
Executive Director of NewGround: A Muslim Jewish Partnership for Change

Reverend Amanda Henderson
Director of the Institute of Religion, Politics & Culture at the Iliff School of Theology,
Former Executive Director of the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado

Pastor Aramis Hinds
Executive Director of the Bethel Community Transformation Center and lead pastor at Breakers Covenant Church in Detroit

Rabbi Andrea London
Rabbi at Beth Emet in Chicago

Location: West Quadrangle
Organized By: Michigan Housing Diversity and Inclusion

The goal of this project is to gather residents in WQ to reflect upon, share, and experience their perspectives through various mediums. For this year’s program we will explore the theme of resilience amid uncertainty, conflict, and loss. Resilience can foster hope, determination, confidence, and the ability to bounce back despite failures and setbacks. We will collectively read pieces written by Audre Lorde, Maya Angelou, and Tino Villanueva. We will then individually create a “found poem” from these pieces based on what spoke to you or how you relate to their work.

The Togetherness: QTBIPOC Gatherings are a collaboration between MESA and the Spectrum Center focusing on centering the experiences of Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, Students of Color through sharing meals, discussions, and creating connections with people in the QTBIPOC community at UM and in the surrounding areas.

This event’s host will be Askari Rushing (he/him/his). Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Askari graduated from Auburn University in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and Accountancy. Upon graduating, he taught K-8 Spanish in the DC Public School System for one year. After realizing that teaching was not his passion, he attended Middlebury College and received his Master of Arts in Spanish in 2017. Directly following this, he returned to his alma mater and received his Master of Accountancy in 2018. While studying for his MAcc, he realized that he had a passion for academic advising and decided to pursue a Master of Arts in Higher Education at the University of Michigan. He graduated in 2020 and accepted a job with Mississippi State University working in their Athletic Academics department as a Tutor Coordinator. After 6 months, he returned to the University of Michigan where he currently works as an Academic Program Specialist on the Rackham Professional Development DEI Certificate Program.

Organized By: Engineering Education Research

As a sociologist who has been working in STEM and Engineering Education for 18 years, and who isn’t on the tenure track, Liz will share a little bit about a few different areas (Research, Evaluation, and Service) that she has focused on in her career.  Assets-based frameworks for understanding student experience are receiving more and more visibility these days and Liz’s work has used critical race theory Community Cultural Wealth (Samuelson & Litzler, JEE 2016) to understand the ways minoritized engineering undergraduates deployed their cultural assets to persist in engineering. She is also now working on further Community Cultural Wealth research with her colleagues on the PNW-LSAMP project.  She will also talk about using her social science research skills to conduct high quality program evaluation of projects focused on improving DEI in STEM.  Finally, she’ll share about the work of the ASEE Commission on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, of which she is the current chair. CDEI is a great resource for the community and also a wonderful opportunity to develop new connections with colleagues while providing important service to the engineering education field.

This workshop will be interactive and will focus on teaching for equity and inclusion.

How can instructors deliberately cultivate learning environments where all students feel valued, respected, and supported in their learning? This interactive synchronous session will provide structured opportunities for instructors to reflect on their goals and practices related to inclusion and equity, consider how to apply key research-based inclusive teaching principles to their f2f and remote teaching, and exchange ideas with colleagues to support the deliberate cultivation of inclusive learning environments.

We highly encourage anyone who is in or plans to be in a teaching role to participate in the workshop. Alongside faculty members, this includes postdocs and graduate students.

A Zoom link for the workshop will be added closer to the event date.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

Speakers Stefan Boes, PhD and Sarah Mantwill, PhD from the university of Lucerne will discuss the Swiss Learning Health System.

Promoting and supporting uptake of evidence and evidence-informed decision-making in health-systems related policy and practice is a challenge. In Switzerland, the need to address this matter has been increasingly emphasized by different actors in the health system. In particular, the lack of comprehensive coordination efforts in the field of health services research, and subsequent knowledge translation activities, has been stressed. In response, the Swiss Learning Health System (SLHS) was established as a nationwide project in 2017, currently involving 10 academic partner institutions. One of the overarching objectives of the SLHS is to bridge research, policy, and practice by providing an infrastructure that supports learning cycles by: continuously identifying issues relevant to the Swiss health system, systemizing relevant evidence, presenting potential courses of action, and revising and reshaping responses. Key features of learning cycles in the SLHS include the development of policy/evidence briefs that serve as a basis for stakeholder dialogues with actors from research, policy and practice. Issues that are identified to be further pursued are monitored for potential implementation and eventually evaluated to inform new learning cycles and to support continuous learning within the system.

Dr. Boes and Dr. Mantwill will provide an overview of the SLHS and its key features, as well as its capacity building efforts to train young researchers in the field of learning health systems, and the development of a centralized metadata repository in support of creating a sufficient large evidence basis to support learning cycles in the Swiss health system. Further, they will discuss lessons learned from the past and the newest developments of the SLHS in light of a second funding phase supported by the Swiss government.

In recognition of Women's History Month, we invite you to join us for a discussion about the intersection of gender and faith. No matter your gender identity or faith, we hope you'll consider joining us for a meal and conversation. In times of heightened tension, division, and expressions of hate, faith, spiritual and secular communities have a vital role to play in being stewards of resilience, collective courage, and creating braver space in the presence of difference.

Meals of Meaning provide an opportunity for students to come together for a virtual dinner conversation (meal provided) and the chance to go beneath the surface, lean into vulnerability and to explore the struggles and stories that make up our lives.

MEAL PICK UP: Meal pick-up will be in the Michigan Union OR on North Campus (location coming soon!) from 12-12:30 pm on March 25. If you are unable to pick-up a meal for any reason, but would still like to participate in the discussion, please simply note "No Meal" in the question section.

DISCUSSION: Facilitated discussion will take place over Zoom from 1-2:30 pm. Links will be provided to registered participants.

Over the past five years, less than 3% of venture capital funding went to Black and Latinx founders. What are the barriers to entrepreneurship for minorities and how can venture capital become more inclusive to entrepreneurs? What steps should be taken by operators and financiers to ensure that sufficient funding is accessible to businesses in these communities?

Healing Justice: Rediscovering Spirit (March 26, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82980 82980-21233242@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 26, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Campus Involvement

As part of the Healing Justice: Holistic Self-Care During Challenging Times series, this Rediscovering Spirit session aims to increase awareness of interdependence of the self, relationships, work and the world. Spiritual practice can contribute to healing justice in the following ways: 1) Help to cultivate balance and alleviate stress in one’s life; 2) Learn how to de-identify with things that no longer serve us; 3) Increase connection and 4) Increase personal and collective empowerment such that one can more effectively work with, and on behalf of others to alleviate suffering and end oppression.

U-M Counseling and Psychological Services will offer two workshops (“Healing Justice in the Fabric of Community” and “Healing Justice: Rediscovering Spirit” ) focused on components of Loretta Pyles’ (2018) Healing Justice: Self-Care for Change Makers. To be true to healing justice, it’s vital to highlight its origins. The movement was originally created by queer folx, BIPOC, women and those with disabilities starting from the 60s with a resurgence in the late 2000s. U-M participants will learn ways of healing “a sense of brokenness or disconnection that may be a result of trauma, oppressive socio-cultural narratives and practices or the ways in which humans may lose touch with each other and themselves.”

All students (undergraduate, graduate and professional) are invited to attend this powerful session!

All trans people are beautiful, and that sentiment is not always expressed. In times of isolation and disconnect from community, transgender and nonbinary individuals can lose sight of self-love and body positivity.

In Part 1, we will explore the topic of body positivity through the lens of the wellbeing model. The workshop will focus on collectively building a more trans-inclusive idea of body positivity based on our experiences and identities. By incorporating other transgender and non-binary voices in the workshop, the space will also explore what self-love looks like and how you can build a body-positive self-image.

In Part 2, we will continue diving into how to cultivate a body-positive self-image. Through personal reflection and group conversations, we will explore our own body origin stories and how body policing manifests within transgender and non-binary communities. With a focus on narratives and experiences, the workshop will provide participants with strategies to reframe and cultivate body positivity for ourselves, our relationships and our communities.

Attendance for Part 1 isn't required for Part 2, nor is it a commitment to attend Part 2. For both workshops, participants are encouraged to wear an article of clothing, accessory, or outfit that validates your identity and expression.

Bee Vang, at 16, held the leading Hmong American role as Thao Vang Lor in Clint Eastwood’s 2008 film Gran Torino. He subsequently performed in independent films and on stage at Brown University where he received a 2016 liberal arts degree in international politics, media, and cultural studies. He also trained in China in techniques of Chinese opera and Japanese performance. Throughout this time, Vang engaged in social justice and media activism, and published works related to the visibility and inclusion of Southeast Asian Americans and, more broadly, Asian Americans in Hollywood and mainstream popular culture. His work covered such topics as representation, race, gender, sexuality, production, geopolitics, refugees, criminal justice, mass incarceration. Vang presented at multiple conferences related to these topics, and publicly lectured or gave workshops in over thirty venues, domestically and overseas including the University of Toronto, Beijing University, Minzu University, and Zhongshan University.

Meanwhile, Vang worked at MSNBC with The Rachel Maddow Show in broadcast journalism, at The Economist in print journalism, and at First Look Media in documentary filmmaking with Laura Poitras. After several years working as a print journalist, nonfiction writer, and policy researcher, he recently moved to LA to devote himself to acting, filmmaking, and other creative pursuits.

This workshop will cover the basics of legal name changes, gender marker corrections, and current legal issues regarding transgender rights.

PLEASE NOTE:
This workshop will center on the process in Michigan. Every state's process to change your name and legal gender marker is different, and can vary within a state by county. Our presenters will be doing their best to answer any questions regarding the process broadly, but please keep this in mind as you attend.

Immigrants have made great contributions to this state--economically, politically, and socially. The fabric of American society has been woven by the contributions of diverse immigrants. And yet, as a nation, we continue to suppress and demonize these immigrants. This session explores the story of immigrants in Michigan, a story that we, as social workers, are obligated to know.

Special guests include Fayrouz Saad, executive director of the Office of Global Michigan; Wojciech Zolnowski, executive director of the International Institute; Fatou Seydi-Sarr, executive director and founder of the African Bureau for Immigrant and Social Affairs; and Laura Sanders, lecturer at the School of Social Work and founder of the Washtenaw Immigration Rights Coalition.

Organized By: Michigan Engineering

There are misperceptions within the Engineering field that “safe spaces” are an indulgence rather than filling a necessary role – by compensating for engineering cultures that are often alienating for women and our traditionally underrepresented and underserved populations.

Myth 3 of the series "Six Diversity Myths” highlights the need to unpack how safe spaces are more than havens from ignorant assumptions and pressure to assimilate with oppressive dominant social norms—they are places where students and faculty help one another to succeed and create cultures in which they feel at home.

This EnginTalks, which is a part of the DEI Lecture Series, will showcase narratives from students regarding how these affinity group organizations create safe spaces for themselves and their communities.

By attending this event, you will learn how to identify, utilize, and promote resources that provide safe spaces for students in need. The students on the panel represent several groups and will speak to the work they do to promote inclusivity and safety for community members in and out of the classroom.

Get ready for this #FunnyAsHAIL wellness break with The Magic of Eric Jones. Take a study and work break and prepare to be amazed as he shares his life-changing pandemic story and takes us on an exciting journey navigating this year's racial political challenges as a showman in today’s climate. This wellness break is free and open to all UM students, staff and faculty. Register: https://myumi.ch/2DbVG

From his start performing simple coin tricks on the streets of Philly, to America’s Got Talent (Semi-Finalist), Penn and Teller (he beat them), and Masters of Illusion, Eric did it all with a few coins and these brilliantly crafted routines. Eric teaches methods, nuances and theory for creating magic that resonates deeply with the people watching it.

Registration required: https://myumi.ch/4p3pN

In March 2001, the University of Michigan Center for World Performance Studies (CWPS) celebrated its grand opening, inviting the community to participate in an evening of lectures, performances and food at the International Institute. As part of the ongoing virtual celebration of this milestone, CWPS invites four esteemed U-M faculty members to reflect on the Center’s founding, its contributions to increasing the diversity of arts and research at University of Michigan, and to imagine the possibilities for the next twenty years.

Kwasi Ampene, Associate Professor in the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, is a scholar and practitioner of ethnomusicology. He specializes in the rich musical traditions of the Akan people of West Africa. His research interests include the performing arts as individually and collectively created and experienced, the performance of historical and social memory, politics, ideologies, values, and religious philosophy in Akan court music. Professor Ampene’s latest book, *Asante Court Music and Verbal Arts in Ghana: The Porcupine and the Gold Stool*, was published on June 30th, 2020 by Routledge. Dr. Ampene was Director of the Center for World Performance Studies from 2011-2016.

Lester Monts is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Music (ethnomusicology). From 1993 until 2014, he served as senior vice provost for academic affairs and senior counselor to the president for the arts, diversity, and undergraduate affairs. He is currently director of the Michigan Musical Heritage Project that seeks to capture on film the state’s folk, ethnic, and immigrant music traditions. Monts received a bachelor’s degree in music education from Arkansas Polytechnic College, a master’s degree in trumpet performance from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and a doctorate in ethnomusicology from the University of Minnesota.

Mbala Nkanga is an Associate Professor of Theatre and head of the minor in Global Theatre & Ethnic Studies. A native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he taught directing, scenography and dramaturgical analysis at the Institut National des Arts in Kinshasa (DRC) beginning in 1979. He has directed plays in various professional companies there, such as Bernard Dadié’s Béatrice du Congo, Wole Soyinka’s A Dance of the Forests, and Réné Kalisky’s Aïda Vaincue. Dr. Nkanga received his PhD in Performance Studies from Northwestern University, and has led the Center for World Performance Studies graduate seminar since 1999.

Robin Wilson is an Associate Professor of Dance at the University of Michigan, on the faculty since 1995, and is best known as a founding member of New York’s Urban Bush Women. In 1995, she was awarded a New York Performance Award for the collective work of the Urban Bush Women from 1984-1994. Her studio teaching is informed by years of study in various mid-twentieth century modern dance and Afro-Caribbean folkloric dance techniques. She performed in New York for more than a decade with such choreographers as Dianne McIntyre, Kevin Wynn, and Jawole Willa Jo Zollar. Professor Wilson served on the Center for World Performance Studies faculty advisory committee for over a decade.

If you require an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact the Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

How the Measurement and Meaning of Family Structure Shape Research on Young Adult Racial Inequality (April 5, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80124 80124-21397361@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 5, 2021 12:00pm

Organized By: Institute for Social Research

POSTPONED.
This event will be rescheduled for a future date.
POSTPONED.




At the population level, Black and White youth in the United States enter adulthood after a lifetime of divergent family structure experiences. A substantial social science literature has investigated whether this variation in childhood family structure contributes to racial disparities in the timing, sequence, and context of events in the transition into adulthood. This discussion adopts a critical perspective on mainstream research on this topic. The panelists highlight opportunities in family demography, social stratification, human development, and race and ethnic studies to advance theory, measurement, and empirical modeling in order to more accurately reflect Black family organization and to situate Black and White families in the a broader context of racialized social, economic, and political inequality.

Paula Fomby is a research associate professor in the Survey Research Center and Population Studies Center, Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan. She holds a PhD in Sociology with an emphasis in social demography from University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research considers how family composition and family process contribute to variation in child and young adult well-being, particularly in the context of social inequality. Fomby is the associate director of the UM Population Studies Center, a co-investigator on the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), and the associate director of the PSID Child Development Supplement.

Christina Cross is a postdoctoral fellow and incoming assistant professor of Sociology at Harvard University. She completed her PhD in Sociology and Public Policy at University of Michigan. Her research examines how family structure, change, and dynamics influence individual wellbeing across the life course, particularly among minority and/or low-income populations. Much of her work has focused on childhood as a key stage in the life course for the emergence and accumulation of social advantages or disadvantages.

Bethany Letiecq is an associate professor in the Human Development and Family Science program at George Mason University. - She received her PhD in health education/family studies and her MS in family and community development from the University of Maryland, College Park.Dr. Letiecq employs community-based participatory and action research approaches to conduct research in partnership with families systematically marginalized by society to promote family health and justice. She is keenly interested in how social policies and practices facilitate or hinder family functioning and health across all families.

**Presented in partnership with the DEI Educational Programs Working Group: Inclusive Teaching Series and the Michigan Program in Survey Methodology.**

Population Studies Center (PSC) Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

Organized By: Latina/o Studies

In this presentation, Anthony Mora, Associate Professor of History and Interim Director of Latina/o Studies, will consider the decisions that Disney producers made during the production of the widely popular 1950s television show Zorro. As had been the case with the iconic character since his creation in 1919, setting the action in Southern California inevitably raised questions about prevailing racial assumptions and the meaning of the United States' Mexican past. Widely popular among children, Zorro concealed more secrets than just his identity.

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.

Post-Binary Feminisms Working Group Launch (April 7, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83477 83477-21385569@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 7, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

Contact: Marisa Olson,
Executive Director umarisa@umich.edu

The Postbinary Feminisms Working Group is dedicated to exploring new theoretical writings and practices in the area of contemporary feminist thought, through the lens of technology-related issues.

The word “postbinary“ is, at the very least, a mnemonic device here, referring to both gender binaries and digital binary code. "Postbinary Feminisms" refers to the temporal moment after which the field has generally started to approach gender from a more fluid perspective; contemporaneous with a moment in which humanists have begun to reflect critically upon the ways in which the history of technology has been one in which women, people of color, people with disabilities, members of LGBTQ+ communities, the working classes, and others have been further marginalized by the cultural and infrastructural affects surrounding digital technology.

Postbinary Feminisms ought then be understood as not only intersectional, but also explicitly anti-racist; owing a legacy to those feminist thinkers who also worked to raise consciousness around racial binaries.

The Working Group will discuss new work by members of the field, across the disciplines; invite periodic guest lecturers; and hear from members of the University of Michigan community working on projects relevant to the group's focus.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Social Work

As part of the centennial celebration, Spike Lee and Terence Blanchard will headline the new Social Justice Changemaker Lecture Series. Stories have the power to stimulate conversation, change opinion and inspire people to action. Spike Lee and Terence Blanchard will share how to introduce new audiences to social justice through film, music and art.

Spike Lee is an award-winning writer, director, actor, producer and author who revolutionized the role of Black talent in cinema. Widely regarded as a premiere filmmaker, Lee is a forerunner in the “do it yourself” school of independent film. Lee received an honorary degree from U-M in 2011.

Terence Blanchard is a jazz trumpeter, composer and music educator. He is a frequent collaborator with Spike Lee. He is nominated for a 2021 Academy Award for the score from “Da 5 Bloods.” Blanchard holds an endowed chair with the Detroit Symphony.

“You get to a certain age when you ask, ‘Who’s going to stand up and speak out for us?’ Then you look around and realize that the James Baldwins, Muhammad Alis and Dr. Kings are no longer here...and begin to understand that it falls on you. I’m not trying to say I’m here to try to correct the whole thing, I’m just trying to speak the truth,” says Blanchard.

Storytelling for Social Justice (April 8, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/82050 82050-21012685@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 8, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: School of Social Work

Storytelling — listening to the stories of others and sharing one’s own stories — builds a foundation for human interaction. Telling others how we got here and why we care about an issue builds connection, allows us to share our values, and creates meaning. The art of public narrative is used in all aspects of social work practice — from helping our clients rewrite the stories they tell themselves, to helping communities and groups galvanize social change, to helping policy makers and politicians tell a “story of self” while creating a “story of us.” Join us for a discussion featuring Aaron Foley, former chief storyteller for the City of Detroit and current professor of journalism at New York University; Eric Thomas, current chief storyteller for the City of Detroit; and Jessica Care Moore, Detroit poet, activist and author.

Launching Your Ship (April 8, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80485 80485-20728303@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 8, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

RSVP online here: http://www.cew.umich.edu/events/launching-your-ship

In this workshop, Woods will share experiences in creatively tackling problems and experiencing the joys of coalition building. Participants will be encouraged to think about how they approach situations where the ship they are in seems to be stuck in a port and is not going anywhere. Stuck in racism? Stuck in sexism? Stuck in certain social classes? What do you need to make your ship sail? Will a new captain do it? Or, should you be the “Captain of your own fate?” Do you need a new destination? Are you bored with the direction you have been going? Are you going in circles? Do you need new perspectives, new shipmates? Have you outgrown the mundane, xenophobic habits of those in your circle? How can you develop healthy habits to move your life and community forward? Short, interactive activities will assist each participant in using the ship metaphor to move forward in their life.

An integral part of the Inspire initiative is pairing advocacy, social change, and activism with skills that enhance a sense of wellbeing, focus, and interconnectedness. A short guided Mindfulness Meditation practice will be incorporated into the program.

Wendy Ann Woods served the citizens of Ann Arbor from 2001 to 2007 as City Councilwoman. She is a strong advocate for affordable housing, a vibrant downtown, a balanced budget, a living wage ordinance, and corporate social responsibility. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Forestry Management and a Master of Science degree in Environmental Policy and Management at the School of Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Michigan. Woods is the associate director of the Michigan Community Scholars Program (MCSP), a nationally recognized living-learning program at the U-M that focuses on social justice, community service, diversity, and civic engagement. She also teaches a seminar for the students in MCSP, is a member of the Association of Black Professionals, Faculty, Administrators, and Staff at U-M, and serves on the advisory board for the University Outreach Council.

Fight the Tower: Asian American Women Scholars’ Resistance and Renewal in the Academy Book Talk with Editors (April 12, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/83151 83151-21282830@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 12, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies

Join us for a conversation with Asian American Studies Professors, Dr. Wei Ming Dariotis (San Francisco State University) and Dr. Kieu-Linh Caroline Valverde (University of California, Davis), about their book Fight the Tower: Asian American Women Scholars’ Resistance and Renewal in the Academy (Rutgers University Press, 2019). Moderated by Prof. Emily P. Lawsin (University of Michigan)

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Asian American women scholars experience shockingly low rates of tenure and promotion because of the particular ways they are marginalized by the intersectionalities of race and gender in academia. Although Asian American studies critics have long since debunked the model minority myth that constructs Asian Americans as the ideal academic subject, university administrators still treat Asian American women in academia as though they will simply show up and shut up. Consequently, because silent complicity is expected, power-holders will punish and oppress Asian American women severely when they question or critique the system. However, change is in the air. Fight the Tower is a continuation of the Fight the Tower movement, which supports women standing up for their rights to claim their earned place in academia and to work for positive change for all within academic institutions. The essays provide powerful portraits, reflections, and analyses of a population often rendered invisible by the lies that sustain intersectional injustices in order to operate an oppressive system. https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/fight-the-tower/9781978806368

Bios:
Dr. Kieu Linh Caroline Valverde is an associate professor of Asian American Studies and the founding director of the New Viet Nam Studies Initiative at the University of California, Davis. She is the author of Transnationalizing Viet Nam: Community, Culture, and Politics in the Diaspora, co-founder of the social justice movement, Fight the Tower, and co-editor of Fight the Tower: Asian American Women Scholars’ Resistance and Renewal in the Academy.

Dr. Wei Ming Dariotis is a professor of Asian American Studies at San Francisco State University. She is co-editor of War Baby/Love Child: Mixed Race Asian American Art and Fight the Tower: Asian American Women Scholars’ Resistance and Renewal in the Academy, and co-author of the definition of critical mixed race studies.

Ziibimijwang Farm is helping restore food sovereignty for the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians and other communities throughout the northern Great Lakes region.

What opportunities and benefits are there for Native American Tribes and Communities in operating a sustainable, community-based farm? What are the challenges associated with this approach and how can they be successfully managed? How can collaboration with tribal and non-tribal institutions, such as the University of Michigan's Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum, help promote Ziibimijwang’s mission?

Please join us as Joe Van Alstine will discuss ways in which Ziibimijwang is working to provide a reliable food source for tribal community members independent of the larger food system, encourage healthy eating, and enhance people’s knowledge of how to raise their own food.

Assessing the Progress of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives in the College of Engineering: Student Perceptions of the Climate at the University of Michigan (April 14, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83292 83292-21367800@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 14, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Engineering Education Research

The University of Michigan College of Engineering is nearing the end of its five-year strategic plan to improve the climate on campus with regards to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). As part of that plan, focus groups were held with students across every department and program in the College of Engineering, to gather qualitative data that can serve as metrics to consider how the DEI strategic plan is progressing. Over thirty focus groups were held with more than 220 undergraduate and graduate students across the College in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic years. Students were asked about various elements of their perception of DEI, including factors that impacted their sense of inclusion, if they had been treated differently based on their identity, and their perceptions of the College and their department with regards to diversity. The data collected in these focus groups illuminates the nuance and complexity of the engineering student experience, and how that experience, and their perceptions of DEI in the College, can vary based on their identities and home department.

The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 (NAGPRA) created a federal legal process for the return of Native American human remains and cultural items to Native American Tribes and Native Hawaiian Organizations. However, the work that museums and tribes complete together can also be used as an opportunity to create good and lasting relationships that extend beyond NAGPRA.

How can museum best practices and traditional tribal knowledge work together in mutually beneficial ways? How can transparency and mutual respect forge productive relationships between tribes and museums? How can future collaborations emerge as a result of the personal and professional relationships that are developed?

The panelists will provide a basic overview of NAGPRA compliance through a consideration of both the tribal and museum sides of the process. They will also draw from practical experience to show how indigenous knowledge and teachings can help inform and improve professional methods of care and an understanding of the best practices of museums.

Join the Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) and Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA) Social Connectivity & Community Engagement for a free virtual screening  of "ONE THOUSAND & ONE JOURNEYS: THE ARAB AMERICANS" and dialogue on Activism, Advocacy and Allyship with film director Abe Kasbo. A zoom watch party and discussion will take place at 5:30 p.m. with the film's executive producer and director who will share the untold story of almost 200 years of the contributions of those who immigrated to the United States from the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf have made to the American fabric. A zoom link for the discussion after registration in a separate email. Access only available for U-M students, staff, and faculty.

ABOUT THE FILM

“Arab-Americans have proudly ventured beyond their ethnicity, language and religion to make noteworthy contributions to both the immigrant experience and ultimately the American experience. They served this nation with significant contributions throughout the spectrum of society – as politicians and public servants, entertainers, physicians, business leaders, and educators. It is this extraordinary and uniquely American story of people and places that must be told.” Abe Kasbo, filmmaker.A Thousand And One Journeys: The film vividly paints a portrait of the Arab-American immigrant experience through the stories of people who, like all Americans, immigrated in pursuit of the American Dream, including Senator George Mitchell, Jamie Farr, General John Abizaid, Anthony Shadid, Helen Thomas and more. With historical immigration patterns as background, the film explores the personal stories of Arab-Americans and how they have contributed to the collective American experience. At a time when the media tends to paint Arab peoples and culture with the broad brush of terrorism, it is increasingly important to present a positive image of the many people of Middle Eastern, North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula who have made America their home, and highlight their American journey as an important part of the larger American Experience.As the Arab-American community increasingly finds itself in the media and public spotlight, now is the time to present a positive image of Arab-Americans and the diversity of their contributions, experiences, backgrounds and faith.

ABOUT THE FILM SERIES

“Activism is inherently a creative endeavor. It takes a radical imagination to be an activist, to envision a world that is not there. It takes imagination and that’s not far from art.” - Ava DuVernayMESA’s social connectivity and CCI hope to generate thought provoking discussion, engagement around advocacy, activism and allyship this semester by presenting a series of films huddled around these topics, areas that we believe require critical and intentional reflection year round. Each film presentation will conclude with a discussion from students, professionals, and artists familiar with the themes presented throughout the series and in the film. Each film and discussion will be available virtually and will take place the third Tuesday each month at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are available through MUTO for each film. (2/16 - Just Mercy, 3/16 - Hidden Figures, 4/20 - One Thousand Journeys: The Arab-Americans).

Examining the impact of COVID-19 on adults with physical disabilities from marginalized communities (April 22, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83637 83637-21446269@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 22, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

This webinar will present the findings from a recent study on the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adults with physical disabilities from marginalized communities in Southeast Michigan, one of the early pandemic epicenters in the United States. Interviews with 16 adults revealed how participants either had to engage in risky behavior to have their needs met or avoid risk and not have those needs met. They contribute to understandings of risk, its impact on physical and psychological health, and the importance of accommodations. The study expands insight into early responses to the pandemic among individuals with long-term physical disabilities from marginalized communities. It helps elucidate how socioeconomic status and race/ethnicity can differentially impact the lives of adults with physical disabilities and further marginalize a population that is “always already” vulnerable. This knowledge can expand awareness and appreciation of how social, economic, and political systems are structured and integrated into future clinical guidelines and emergency response policies and more adequately addressed.

This webinar is free and open to the public. Communication Access Realtime Translation services will be available to provide live closed captions for the event.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

RSVP to receive Zoom link: cew.umich.edu/events/cewinspire-workshop-promoting-gender-equity-in-the-professions-what-can-we-learn-from-academic-medicine

Presenter: Reshma Jagsi, MD, DPhil, CEW+ 2020 Carol Hollenshead Inspire Award for Excellence in Promoting Equity & Social Change Award Winner

This session will provide an overview of the presenter’s journey to study the promotion of gender equity in medicine. Dr. Reshma Jagsi will discuss in detail the evidence that her research team and others have gathered to demonstrate the impact of the differential challenges that women in medicine face (unconscious biases, gendered expectations of society, and overt discrimination and harassment) and their evidence-based recommendations regarding: 

- how advocacy can lead both to the development of beneficial pipeline programs and policies governing work-life integration;
- the cultural transformation efforts of national organizations (like AAMC, NIH, the National Academies, and TIME'S UP Healthcare) to promote gender equity and discourage sexual harassment; and
- using social media to build communities where individuals might once have been isolated as "the only" one of their demographic characteristics before.

Following this, Dr. Jagsi will moderate a panel of four esteemed colleagues from the medical school, Dr. Dana Telem, Dr. Eve Kerr, Dr. Jack Iwashyna, and Dr. Timothy Johnson. They will have an interactive discussion of insights that can be applied from their experiences in medicine to inform efforts to promote equity in the professions more generally.

Format:

An important starting point within this workshop will be an examination of our own culture and identity journey, utilizing Milner’s (2010) Culture of Power framework to engage participants in small group discussion before larger themes are brought back to the larger group – issues related to educational disparities that originate within society when students are young, yet lead into many of the inequities that are still highly visible within higher education.

In addition, an integral part of the Inspire initiative is pairing advocacy, social change, and activism with skills that enhance a sense of wellbeing, focus and interconnectedness. A short guided Mindfulness Meditation practice will be incorporated into the program.

Reshma Jagsi, MD, DPhil., is the Newman Family Professor and Deputy Chair in the Department of Radiation Oncology and director of the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine at the University of Michigan. An internationally recognized clinical trialist and health services researcher in the field of breast cancer, Dr. Jagsi has co-authored over 300 publications. She has also devoted a substantial portion of her service to the institution and her scholarly effort to promoting gender equity in academic medicine. She is a frequently invited lecturer on this subject, having delivered keynote or plenary talks at the National Institutes of Health, the National Academies, the Association of American Medical Colleges, the American Medical Association, and for dozens of other institutions and medical specialty organizations in the US and abroad. Her investigations of women’s under-representation in senior positions in academic medicine and the mechanisms that must be targeted to promote equity have been funded by an NIH R01 grant and grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Doris Duke Foundation, AMA, and other philanthropic funders. Active in organized medicine, she has served on the Steering Committee of the AAMC’s Group on Women in Medicine in Science, which recently recognized her with its Leadership Award.
