We hope to create constructive dialogue, as well as potential solutions, as we unravel the complex relationship between race and the media.

Fighting for Our Rights: Three Young Women Facing Southern Racism in the 1960s (January 15, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57339 57339-14788684@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 15, 2019 3:00pm

Organized By: Department of History

In the 1960s, when the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was on the front line of the civil rights movement in the South, Bettie Mae Fikes, Marilyn Lowen, and Martha P. Noonan were there, too.

They will share their experiences at “Fighting for Our Rights: Three Young Women Facing Southern Racism in the 1960s.” This 2019 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Symposium is presented by the Department of History, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS), and Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies, with additional support from the Kalt Fund for African American and African History.

Bettie Mae Fikes was born in Selma, Alabama, and began singing gospel alongside her mother at age four. At sixteen she became a student leader for SNCC, eventually performing with the SNCC Freedom Singers. She was jailed for several weeks in 1963 for protesting during the voting rights struggle in Selma. Ms. Fikes has graced the stages of Carnegie Hall, the Newport Jazz Festival, and the Library of Congress, as well as performing for Democratic National Conventions in 1964 and 2004. She has performed with Joe Turner, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Albert King, James Brown, Bob Dylan, and Mavis Staples, among others.

Marilyn Lowen is a poet, writer, teacher and lifelong human rights worker. Born in Detroit in 1944, she began protesting racial injustice at eight years old. In high school she picketed Woolworth’s in downtown Detroit in solidarity with SNCC sit-ins in 1960-1961.

In the 1960s, when the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was on the front line of the civil rights movement in the South, Bettie Mae Fikes, Marilyn Lowen, and Martha P. Noonan were there, too.

They will share their experiences at “Fighting for Our Rights: Three Young Women Facing Southern Racism in the 1960s.” This 2019 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Symposium is presented by the Department of History, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies (DAAS), and Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies, with additional support from the Kalt Fund for African American and African History.

Bettie Mae Fikes was born in Selma, Alabama, and began singing gospel alongside her mother at age four. At sixteen she became a student leader for SNCC, eventually performing with the SNCC Freedom Singers. She was jailed for several weeks in 1963 for protesting during the voting rights struggle in Selma. Ms. Fikes has graced the stages of Carnegie Hall, the Newport Jazz Festival, and the Library of Congress, as well as performing for Democratic National Conventions in 1964 and 2004. She has performed with Joe Turner, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Albert King, James Brown, Bob Dylan, and Mavis Staples, among others.

Marilyn Lowen is a poet, writer, teacher and lifelong human rights worker. Born in Detroit in 1944, she began protesting racial injustice at eight years old. In high school she picketed Woolworth’s in downtown Detroit in solidarity with SNCC sit-ins in 1960-1961. At Bennington College she started a civil rights group to support SNCC and the Northern Student Movement. She left school to work full time in the movement, first with NSM in Harlem, next in SNCC’s Atlanta photo department, then moving to Tougaloo, Mississippi, to continue working with SNCC and the Child Development Group of Mississippi. She relocated to New York City in 1968, finishing her undergraduate and master's degrees, and teaching in the city’s public schools at all levels.

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

The William L. Clements Library acquires, preserves, and provides access to primary source materials pertinent to early American History. Its curators identify projects for internships based on historical value, the physical condition of materials, and other priorities including the Clements’ Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategic Plan. Please join us as students and mentors discuss their recent conservation, collection description, cataloging, and digitization projects.

LS&A undergraduate student Ella Horwedel performed conservation work and created a finding aid for the Starry Family Correspondence. James H. Starry, his wife Nancy Starry, siblings, cousins, and others wrote often-candid letters about their lives in Virginia and Ohio between 1840 and 1850. They provided valuable reflections on gender relations, courtship, alcohol use and temperance, African Americans, slavery, and other subjects. Ella washed, repaired, and lined the Starrys' heavily damaged letters to make them safe for handling by researchers; and she wrote descriptive text to help scholars discover the collection for study.

Vocal music student Alexandra Brassard worked with the Graphics Division to digitize and improve catalog records for the Clements Library's illustrated sheet music collection. Although American popular music of the past includes pervasive racial caricatures and stereotypes, it is also rich with themes related to immigration, gender, spiritualism, and includes notable African American composers.

“And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system.” —Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Planning Meeting for the Poor People’s Conference

Boldly responding to Dr. King’s call for systemic change, a network of public, private, and nonprofit stakeholders in Detroit is seeking to radically restructure pathways to opportunity in the city’s neighborhoods. Through a first-of-its-kind initiative, a collective of the Kresge Foundation, the Detroit Public Schools Community District, and the University of Michigan will establish a “Cradle-to-Career” campus at Marygrove College on Detroit's Northwest Side. The campus will integrate pre-kindergarten through graduate level programs in an effort to establish a pedagogy of rigor, equity, and social justice at the intersection of public education and neighborhood revitalization in Detroit.

As Detroit’s resurgence pushes beyond the boundaries of greater Downtown, a daunting question remains: what about the schools? In conjunction with concentrated public and private investments in the city’s Fitzgerald neighborhood, the Cradle-to-Career initiative signifies the importance of comprehensive community development that acknowledges the place-based nature of residential segregation and systemic disinvestment. With the Kresge Foundation’s $50 million commitment—the largest investment in any single neighborhood in the nation— this partnership seeks to transform access to upward mobility, emphasizing the importance of beginning with Detroit’s youth in an effort to institutionalize equity from the ground up.

"Black composers’ non-existence in academic institutions tells black composers that we are not wanted, no matter how much success we gain," writes Anthony R. Green in his galvanizing article "What the Optics of New Music Say to Black Composers" (New Music USA). To unravel the exclusivity of the classical music canon, the work of Black composers, and especially Black women, must take center stage. Professor Tiffany Ng, University Carillonist, performs works by composers ranging from Yvette Janine Jackson and Jessie Montgomery to arrangements of Motown and soul

Jacquelyn Taylor, Ph.D., RN, PNP-BC, FAHA, FAAN, will discuss steps she has taken in her research career using genomic and environmental methods to unravel hypertension health disparities in African American women. Dr. Taylor’s current work exams the gene-environment and DNAm-environment interactions of perceived racism and discrimination, parenting stress, and maternal mental health on blood pressure on African American mothers and their young children. Dr. Taylor will also share reflections about her recent study on the genomics of lead poisoning in Flint, MI. She was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) by President Barack Obama, the highest honor awarded by the federal government to scientists and engineers, where she examines next-generation sequencing-environment interactions on blood pressure among African Americans. Her long-term goals are to develop nursing interventions to reduce and prevent -omic-environment risks that contribute to health disparities for common chronic conditions among underrepresented minority populations across the lifespan in the United States and vulnerable populations abroad. Dr. Taylor is the inaugural Vernice D. Ferguson Professor in Health Equity at New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing.

Organized By: LSA Honors Program

This year's MLK Symposium theme, “unravel”, reflects the challenge of disentangling or revealing both personal and institutional –isms (racism, classism, sexism, ableism…). Our individual stories of how we choose to respond to others' biases, and reflect on our own, are an important parts of the solution.

W​e invite members of the University community to share their brief (2-4 minute) stories through written or spoken word, performance pieces, poems, art, music, or song.

We encourage you to connect your story to the theme of “unravel” and respond to one of the following two prompts...

* Share a moment where you have confronted or become aware of your own internal bias. What process did you use? What made you willing to be vulnerable in exposing a personal bias?

* Tell us of an instance where self-awareness of your own bias equipped you to respond to institutional bias. How did you respond?

This is an opportunity to tell your story, among supportive listeners, because your stories matter!

Mass Incarceration: A WeListen Staff Discussion (January 25, 2019 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/59327 59327-14730608@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 25, 2019 11:00am

Mass Incarceration: A WeListen Staff Discussion

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

RSVP here: http://myumi.ch/6wE9n

The U.S. has the most incarcerated people in the world: 2.1 million. The corrections system costs $81B annually, while corporations make $7.4B from private prisons and $2B+ from prison labor. Black and Hispanic Americans are overrepresented in U.S. prisons and 83% of formerly incarcerated people are rearrested within 9 years of release.

Is mass incarceration working? Why are racial minorities overrepresented? Should the U.S. consider different sentencing and correctional models? Has privatization in our justice system gone too far, or not far enough?

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


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

Questions? Email us at welistenstaff@umich.edu.

This event is co-sponsored by the UM Office of DEI and the LSA DEI Implementation Leads. The planning committee includes staff members from the Ginsberg Center, the LSA Dean's Office, and LSA Psychology.

Dialogue and Difference: The Point of “Pointless” Language in British and Persian Exchange 1812–1923 (January 28, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60292 60292-14857789@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 28, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Niloofar Sarlati is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota, and a finalist in the LSA Collegiate Fellows Program at the University of Michigan.

Her talk explores how longstanding conventions of Persian courtesy became suspect indices of "primitive" (versus “civilized”) society in Western discourse and thus of a self-perceived “defective” modernity in early-twentieth-century Iran. She argues that transformations in the understanding of language, social interaction, and human life itself were articulated through discursive shifts in time-value, truth-value, and exchange-value that took shape in a broader dialogue between English and Persian in the long nineteenth century.

Creating More Inclusive Workplaces in an Era of Discord – The Power of Helping Across Differences
Stephanie J. Creary

Tuesday, January 29, 2019
4:00-5:00 p.m.
Free and open to the public.

Michigan Ross Campus

Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

Positive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross, and are free and open to the public.

About the talk:
Many of us want to work in organizations that enable us to draw on our unique perspectives to contribute and become our best work selves. Yet, sometimes our differences can make us feel uncomfortable, which can challenge our ability to engage with one another in healthy and productive ways. In this presentation, Creary will share a tool that she has developed from her research on multiple identities and helping at work that is designed to help people build more effective relationships across difference at work. The audience will have the opportunity to use the tool in real-time to create their own positive paths for making one particular work relationship across difference more effective.

About Creary:
Stephanie J. Creary, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Management at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. She is also an affiliated faculty member of Wharton People Analytics and a Senior Fellow of the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) at the University of Pennsylvania. Previously, she was on the faculty of Cornell University. Prior to completing her PhD degree at the Boston College School of Management, she was a research associate at Harvard Business School and The Conference Board in NYC.

Creary’s research investigates how multiple identities, perspectives, and experiences are engaged and used in organizations to cultivate positive identities, improve the quality of relationships across difference, and promote change that is positive for organizations. She studies these dynamics in a variety of situations and organizational contexts including the development and implementation of corporate diversity and inclusion initiatives, career progression across demographic groups, socialization practices, and health care delivery.

She has published her research in leading management journals, co-authored several HBS case studies on leadership and diversity, written executive action reports on human capital for management audiences, and has won several research and teaching awards.

Host:
Jane Dutton, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations; Robert L. Kahn Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Business Administration and Psychology

Sponsors:
The Center for Positive Organizations thanks University of Michigan Organizational Learning, Sanger Leadership Center, Tauber Institute for Global Operations, Samuel Zell & Robert H. Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies, Lisa and David (MBA ‘87) Drews, and Diane (BA ‘73) and Paul (MBA ‘75) Jones for their support of the 2018-19 Positive Links Speaker Series.

Love Beyond Bounds (February 5, 2019 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59487 59487-14745556@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 5, 2019 7:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center (SAPAC)

SAPAC, in co-sponsorship with Spectrum Center and CEW+, are bringing Corey Kempster and Jari Jones to talk about their relationship and love. The event is specifically near Valentine's Day, a holiday that is often very heteronormative and hurtful for people who hold marginalized identities. We hope that by creating an affirming and inclusive space that is a great representation of love and healthy relationship norms we can promote inclusivity and respect in all relationships on our campus!

Jari Jones is an actress/model/singer/activist who channels her talents into powerful trans-centric storytelling. She has been featured on FX’s Pose, starred in an Off-Broadway show called “The Sex Myth,” and just finished filming a movie with Leyna Bloom, directed by Martin Scorsese. Corey Kempster is a counselor for LGBT youth who are experiencing homelessness in addition to doing some modeling and acting. Together they have become an icon for healthy, positive queer relationships and have done numerous speaking and activism events around the country.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Restorative Justice: An Alternative (February 6, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58957 58957-14626050@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 6, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This will be a short course for 3 weeks on the roots, application, and benefits of restorative justice as an alternative to punishment in our criminal justice system. The focus of restorative justice is on the harm done, how the victim can be healed, and how the offender can repair the harm to the victim and community. Carolyn Madden has an MA in Philosophy, Graduate Center, N.Y. and JD from Wayne State University. She was the Associate Director and lecturer for the English Language Institute and is a member of Friends of Restorative Justice of Washtenaw County.
Kathie Gourlay has an MBA from the University of Michigan, currently teaches at Washtenaw Community College, and is passionately interested in criminal justice reform. She finds restorative justice to be an improved way to respond to criminal acts, as compared to the standard American retributive approach. This Study Group is for those 50 and over and will meet Wednesdays, 1:00 -3:00 p.m., February 6th through February 20th.

Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

This talk will examine bullying, mobbing, and harassment at work, with an emphasis on demographics and diversity. It will briefly sketch out some basics, a sort of “Workplace bullying 101.” It will then look at the demographic and diversity dynamics of these behaviors overall, especially pertaining to aggressors and targets, especially in the context of organizational cultures. Finally, it will take a closer look at gendered aspects of bullying and related behaviors at work, including (1) linkages between bullying and sexual harassment in the midst of the #MeToo movement and (2) complicated issues of bullying-type behaviors between women at work. Plenty of time will be reserved for comments and questions.

Allies for Inclusion: The Ability Exhibit (February 27, 2019 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/61069 61069-15027198@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 9:00am
Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Institute for Social Research

Allies for Inclusion: The Ability Exhibit is a traveling exhibit designed to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities through respect for others, comfort during interactions, and awareness of disability issues. Using a multi-media approach to demonstrate respect, comfort and awareness, the
exhibit offers suggestions for becoming disability allies and educators.

It has been twenty years since the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and almost forty years since the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Both of these laws protect against discrimination of people with disabilities by requiring equal access to employment, education, goods and services.

Americans have progressed in their attitudes and behaviors toward people with disabilities; however, there remain questions and concerns about appropriate communication, comfort level, and inclusive practices.

When it comes to interacting with individuals with disabilities, people ask:
"What should I do?", "How should I respond?", "Is it okay to say that?", "How can I become an ally?"; Allies for Inclusion: The Ability Exhibit will attempt to answer some of these questions.

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to experience The Ability Exhibit when it visits the Institute for Social Research (426 Thompson St.)

February 27, 9am-4pm
February 28, 8:30am-4pm

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Young Americans for Freedom

TICKET INFO:
Student tickets will be made available Feb 18th at 8pm. Those with a umich email will be able to reserve one ticket.
General public tickets will be made available Feb 19th at 8pm.
The ticket link will go live on this event page then.

Young Americans for Freedom at the University of Michigan is proud to host Ben Shapiro on March 12th in collaboration with the Young America's Foundation (YAF). Through this event, students and the general public will be able to hear from and participate in a Q/A with one of the nation's top conservative minds. More info on the event can be found at yaf.org, Twitter (@yafumich), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/YAFUMich/), and Instagram (@yafumich).


Ben Shapiro is editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire and host of "The Ben Shapiro Show," the top conservative podcast in the nation and now nationally-syndicated radio show. Shapiro is the author of seven nonfiction books; his newest work "The Right Side of History: How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the West Great" will be released on March 19th. He earned a BA in Political Science from UCLA in 2004 and graduated from Harvard Law School in 2007.
Shapiro has appeared on hundreds of radio and television shows around the nation, including "Fox and Friends" (Fox News), "In the Money" (CNN Financial), "The Dennis Prager Show," among others.

Young America's Foundation and the YAF at the University of Michigan chapter seek to educate students on conservative values that are otherwise absent on most college campuses. Shapiro has frequently addressed the issue of the Left's ideological stranglehold on academia and has worked to push back against that trend through fact and logic-based speeches and debates. "Facts don't care about your feelings" has become one of Ben Shapiro's trademark lines. He has appeared as the featured speaker at many conservative events on campuses nationwide, several of those appearances targeted by progressive and "Antifa" activists. Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew, has also worked to expose the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic motivations behind the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

Microaggressions: Conceptual, Research, and Practice Implications (March 14, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61829 61829-15212856@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 14, 2019 3:00pm
Location: Michigan League
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

A resurgence of scholarly and popular attention to the concept of microaggressions has prompted new research as well as its applications, such as training and workshops on microaggressions across college campuses and other organizational and community settings. However, definitions, understandings, and measurement of this concept vary due to its inherent complexity involving interactions of contexts and individuals. This panel discussion will engage the growing body of literature on microaggressions.

Presenters are recipients of NCID’s Pop-up Grant on microaggressions and are members of the Diversity Scholars Network. These scholars take up the concept of microaggressions using various theoretical and methodological approaches. They will compare and contrast new findings to extant literatures, illuminate critical questions, and advance new theoretical/conceptual frameworks.

Presenters: Ahlam Lee (Assistant Professor of Leadership Studies at Xavier University), Cassaundra Rodriguez (Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas), and Rosalie Rolón-Dow (Associate Professor of Education at the University of Delaware)

Cartographies of Silence: A Conference for Readers and Writers
23rd Annual CLIFF Conference
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
March 15-16, 2019
Keynote Speaker: Professor Irena Klepfisz

It was an old theme even for me:Language cannot do everything– -- Adrienne Rich, “Cartographies of Silence”

Silence is not an absence, but is charged with meaning and action. To speak of silence means to speak of a multitude of paradoxes, as well as to enter an exciting avenue for literature, activism and interdisciplinary scholarship. Our conference interrogates what it means to plumb silences in the archive in search of unheard voices, and invites scholars to investigate the meanings of silence as a critical category. In particular, this conference is interested in mapping – across scholarly and creative disciplines – questions of translating silences in the archive, in the text, in the subject, and in activism. What are the possible ways of translating silence when events and experiences resist such translation? What challenges and possibilities does silence offer translators and scholars, who are tasked with making meaning of both the enunciated and the unsaid or untranslatable? How can we engage with knowledge that does not yield itself to current academic frameworks? In what ways can a focus on silence help to transform knowledge itself?

Professor Irena Klepfisz received her doctorate from the University of Chicago in Victorian literature, and later did post-doctoral work in Yiddish at YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. In addition to teaching in numerous universities around the country, Klepfisz taught for ten years in the college program at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, a women’s maximum security prison. Last year, she retired after 22 years of teaching Jewish Women's Studies at Barnard College. Klepfisz immigrated to the U.S. at age 8 and was raised among Yiddish-speaking, Jewish Labor Bundist (socialist) Holocaust survivors in the Bronx, where she attended public schools, a Yiddish shule, and mitlshul. She was an activist during the Second Wave, particularly in the lesbian/feminist movement, and addressed issues of anti-Semitism, Israeli/Palestinian peace, Jewish identity, and veltlekhe yidishkayt/secular Yiddish culture.

Klepfisz’s extensive publishing and performance record includes founding and co-editing Conditions magazine, serving as the Yiddish editor of the Jewish feminist Bridges, contributing to Nice Jewish Girls: A Lesbian Anthology, and co-editing The Tribe of Dina: A Jewish Women’s Anthology. She authored two performance pieces commissioned by the Jewish Museum (NY): Bread and Candy: Songs of the Holocaust and Zeyre eygene verter: In their own words (Yiddish women writers). She is the author of A Few Words in the Mother Tongue (poems) and Dreams of an Insomniac (essays), and most recently co-edited The Stars Bear Witness: The Jewish Labor Bund 1897-2017 and Koved zeyer ondenk: Honor to Their Memory (for the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising).

The Jewish Communal Leadership Program at the University of Michigan School of Social Work and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies, working in partnership with the Jewish Women’s Archive, present Jewish Feminisms/American Visions: Perspectives from Fifty Years of Activism. This historic event brings together 36 pioneering and contemporary feminist activists, leaders, and thinkers to consider the role of Jewish identity in the framing and development of second wave American feminism. Building on the interpretations offered by historian Joyce Antler in her recent book, "Jewish Radical Feminism: Voices from the Women's Liberation Movement", activists from the 1960s through today will reexamine the contexts, experiences, and identities that went into creating American feminism and its impact on Jewish culture, politics, and religion.

What is academic freedom? Is it relevant in this day and age? What does it mean at a global institution like the University of Michigan? How does the internationalization of higher education affect it? What does it mean to those who hail from abroad? Does academic freedom globalize? How do scholars and students who move across the world attend to its intricacies, obligations, and limitations? These are some of the questions that we will attempt to answer as part of our conversation. Please join us!

The public is welcome!
Lunch will be served.
Please RSVP. This is optional but does help us ensure that we provide enough food for everyone.

Data is what drives our economy. We leave trails of personal data as we scroll, click, chat, shop, commute and exercise. In many ways, data is an emerging renewable commodity, as abundant as sunlight. The top 5 largest companies of 2017 are all considered “data companies” that rely on capturing, processing and distributing personal data to garner their market capitalization or pre-market valuation.

Author and Engineer, James Felton Keith will explore the two questions: If our personal data is a naturally occurring resource, just how valuable is it to the other +5 million companies in our economy? And, How much are people owed if they in fact own their data?

-Artist Talk and Poetry Performance: 6:00-7:00pm. Angell Hall Auditorium D
-Reception: 7:30pm, 3512 Haven Hall. Food will be served.

The Latina/o Studies Program, the Department of American Culture, the Center for Educational Outreach and La Casa invite you to celebrate Chicano labor leader César Chávez’s enduring legacy and the richness of Latinx culture at the University of Michigan. Please join us for a very special arts workshop with visiting artists Jeff Abbey Maldonado and Dulce Santoyo, to be followed by an artist talk featuring Jeff Maldonado and including a Flor y Canto Nahuat Xochitl in Cuitcatl Flower and Song Celebration with local and student poets. Our evening will culminate with a reception in 3512 Haven Hall to celebrate the University Housing donation of Maldonado’s 1998 César Chávez mural to Latina/o Studies and American Culture.

Jeff Abbey Maldonado lives and works in Pilsen, Chicago. He has maintained his studio for the past 20 years. He studied under Mario Castillo, professor at Columbia College, who is credited with painting the first Latino mural in Chicago. Maldonado’s work has been shown nationally and internationally, including at the National Museum of Mexican Art, Chicago Cultural Center, The Field Museum, and the Chicago History Museum. Currently, he is Founder and Director of the J-Def Peace Project, which promotes youth empowerment through the arts. Dulce Santoyo is an emerging Latina artist working in Chicago.

The Chávez mural was donated to American Culture in summer 2018 thanks to the student activism of La Casa. It previously was held by University Housing—a unit of Student Life—and was displayed in the César Chávez Lounge at the Mosher-Jordan “Mo-Jo” Student Residence Hall in the Hill Neighborhood on Observatory, home to the Michigan Research Community and the Women in Science and Engineering Residence Program. The mural is an interpretation of the activism of César Chávez, born of Mexican heritage in Yuma, Arizona in 1927. Chávez founded and led the National Farm Worker's Association (NFWA), the first successful farm workers union, later known as United Farm Workers (UFW).

Events are free and open to the public.

Have you ever wondered what the difference between a dialect and an accent is? Or how your voice can help or hurt you in the professional world? This workshop will answer those questions and more with an extended discussion led by experimental linguist Kelly Wright. Wright will give us a primer on speech perception-how it works and how we perceive people through their voice-and will share her research on dialect discrimination. She'll also offer some advice for how to celebrate your voice in the workplace. The workshop is part of the Celebrate Your Voice at Work campaign presented by the LSA Opportunity Hub, which provides a platform for students, alumni, and staff to share their stories and invites us all to ask the question: who defines what is professional?

This workshop is intended for undergraduate LSA students. We look forward to seeing you there!

Bernice Severin, Social Worker, Veilig Thuis (Safe at Home)

The Red Light District of Amsterdam speaks to our imagination as a symbol of Dutch liberalism, pragmatism, and the normalization of the human experience. Bernice Severin will discuss how, behind the neon lights, hides a deeper, darker culture of exploitation. The audience will come away with an understanding of the history, culture, policy, and economics of Dutch prostitution, as it has expanded beyond canal-front windows to sex farms and storage rooms. Bernice Severin is a social worker with Veilig Thuis (Safe At Home), an advice center and hotline for domestic and child abuse. From 2011 to 2017 she worked for the Amsterdam Coordination Center Against Human Trafficking.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Department of American Culture

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

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

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

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

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

Queer Spiritual Drifting: Site-Specific Performance and Writing

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

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

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

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777, at least one week in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: HeForShe

The University of Michigan is huge. While there are many resources and opportunities for student orgs, it is hard to stay on top of all of them.

HeForShe, a gender equality student org, saw this issue as one that especially impacted social justice-oriented student organizations, as the nature of social justice work requires community and a united effort. In the spirit of that, HeForShe decided to create the first gender equality student org summit called "The State of Gender Equality Orgs at U-M."

HeForShe invites all gender equality-related orgs to attend the event to meet other student leaders and find a way to make long-lasting connections, share resources, and build a coalition dedicated to achieving gender equality at the University of Michigan.

If your org would like to be represented at the event, RSVP using this link by March 27: https://goo.gl/forms/x60zsjddQYENLNnJ2

Epsilon Eta is Umich's only Pre-Profesional Environmental Co-Ed Fraternity. We seek to develop a more robust network of students, researchers, employers, and agencies to more effectively deal with the realities of our world’s changing climate and loss of biodiversity. By fostering a conscious awareness of the intrinsic relationship between people and their environment through academics, the community, and service, we seek to bridge the gap from the undergraduate atmosphere to professional environmental fields for students at Michigan.
Although we are inclusive of all majors, we require an interest in the environmental field. By pledging Epsilon Eta, you will become a member of an eclectic group of driven, intelligent, and innovative peers, as well as gain access to professional, social, and volunteering resources.
This meeting will give you a chance to get a better sense of our organization and a chance to ask questions. We will also explain what our Fall Rush process consists of.

Organized By: Native American Studies

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

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

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

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

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

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

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Services for Students with Disabilities

Free Admission! First 100 viewers receive a free small popcorn and small drink voucher!

On April 8, 2019, the University of Michigan will take part in The Rebound’s campaign to create more inclusion in society. The acclaimed film The Rebound (76 mins) offers an insider’s perspective to adapted sports and the world of disability as it follows the underdog journey of the Miami Heat Wheels wheelchair basketball team in their quest for their first NWBA National Championship. The cameras don’t stop when the players leave the court: the film follows the athletes through daily life with a disability as they reach for new heights.

The film has been an official selection at more than twenty film festivals and fifty special screenings, received numerous awards, and has been piloted successfully in schools and university research studies. Critics say, “Here is a rare breed of documentary that often uses images instead of words to tell its story.” – Miami Herald and “you’ll never think about disabilities the same way again.” – No Film School.

The purpose of this event is to foster meaningful discussion around inclusion, celebrate the power of the thriving human spirit, and introduce the growing adaptive sports programming occurring at The University of Michigan, because #itsallabouthowyourebound.

Featuring a Q&A session with Ryan Martin, moderated by Dr. Feranmi Okanlami following the film.

Evidence-based meditation has been shown to reduce implicit age and race bias, reduce the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pain, improve cognitive functioning, and assist in ending ruminating thought patterns. Come join a drop in, guided mindful meditation sit and practice being aware and fully present in the moment.

Free and open to all levels of practice. Registration is helpful for planning or for notification of a canceled session but is not required.

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

#MeToo: A WeListen Staff Discussion

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

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

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

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

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


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

Questions? Email us at welistenstaff@umich.edu.

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

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

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

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

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

Whether presenting at congressional hearings or engaging in local policy, scholars have leveraged their positions and work to combat social injustices. This panel discussion examines the experiences of scholars in policy engagement, including the decision-making process on how and when to engage, share highly politicized data, and determine the most effective processes and structures to share their work.

The panel will share the nuanced experiences of scholars who conduct, disseminate, and apply research on contemporarily relevant topics such as immigration, affirmative action and race — topics often viewed as inherently political. Additionally, panelists will discuss the often missed ways in which a scholar’s identity, particularly historically underrepresented or marginalized identities, impact the ways their scholarship is received, interpreted, and legitimized by the public.

Moderator: Tabbye Chavous, Director of the National Center for Institutional Diversity and Professor of Education and Psychology at the University of Michigan

Panelists:
William Elliott, Professor of Social Work at the University of Michigan

Kristina Ko, Assistant Vice President for Research — Federal Relations for Research at the University of Michigan

Ethics and Politics of AI: Data Violence: Discourse and Justice in a Datafied World (April 22, 2019 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/62336 62336-15353047@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 22, 2019 3:00pm
Location: North Quad
Organized By: School of Information

Values of fairness, antidiscrimination, and inclusion occupy a central place in the emerging ethics of data and algorithms. Their importance is underscored by the reality that data-intensive, algorithmically-mediated decision systems—as represented by artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML)—can exacerbate existing (or generate new) injustices, worsening already problematic distributions of rights, opportunities, and wealth. At the same time, critics of certain “fair” or “inclusive” approaches to the design and implementation of these systems have illustrated their limits, pointing to problems with reductive or overly technical definitions of fairness or a general inability to appropriately address representative or dignitary harms.

In this talk, Anna Lauren Hoffmann extends these critiques by focusing on problems of cultural and discursive violence. She begins by discussing trends in AI/ML fairness and inclusion discussion that mirror problematic tendencies from legal antidiscrimination discourses. From there, she introduces “data violence” as a response to these trends. In particular, she lays out the discursive bases of data-based violence—that is, the discursive forms by which competing voices and various “fair” or “inclusive” solutions become legible (and others marginalized or ignored). In doing so, she undermines any neat or easy distinction between the presence of violence and its absence—rather, our sense of fair or inclusive conditions contain and feed the possibility of violent ones. She concludes by echoing feminist political philosopher Serene Khader’s call to move away from justice-imposing solutions toward justice-enhancing ones. Importantly, justice-enhancing efforts cannot simply be a matter of protecting or “including” vulnerable others, but must also attend to discourses and norms that generate asymmetrical vulnerabilities to violence in the first place.

About the Speaker:

Anna Lauren Hoffmann is a scholar and writer working at the intersections of data, technology, culture, and ethics. She is currently an Assistant Professor with The Information School at the University of Washington.

Her work centers on issues in information, data, and ethics, paying specific attention to the ways discourse, design, and uses of information technology work to promote or hinder the pursuit of important human values like respect and justice. She is concerned with the ways data, information, and technological systems (or the ways we talk about them) discriminate by undermining the development of self-respect of some, especially through the infliction of symbolic and discursive violences. In addition, she works on issues around ethics education for data professionals and computer scientists, as well as the possibilities (and limits) of research ethics and professional codes of ethics.
