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

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

96 Minutes.

Gaslighting in the Academy: Will Black Lives Continue to Matter? (December 1, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79306 79306-20270671@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 1, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Engineering

In light of the increased visibility of the killing of unarmed Black people by police, there is a movement happening in America to address racial inequities across multiple facets of life, and neither the Academy nor STEM researchers are immune.

Overlaying the disproportionate effect of COVID-19 on Black and Brown people has led to a tipping point driving activism nationwide. However, there is a risk that once the outrage passes, structures supporting systemic racism will remain, once again, gaslighting academics and students of color who thought that change was coming.

Professor Platt will uncover micro- to mega- activities that occur on a daily basis to sustain racial inequities, the toll it takes on recipients, and then suggest changes to be made from the personal to institutional level to promote anti-racist practices to transform the academic culture.

A Data Orientation to Immigrants Admitted to the United States, Federal Fiscal Years 1972-2000 (December 2, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79404 79404-20296438@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 2, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

This past September, we had the opportunity to learn how these recently-released data arrived to ICPSR. Now it is time for an introduction to the data collection itself! Principal Investigator Sherrie Kossoudji will describe these data (Immigrants Admitted to the United States, Federal Fiscal Years 1972-2000), which include every single person admitted as an immigrant 1972-2000, and give insights into the types of analyses that might be undertaken. Could you be the first to publish using these data?

Dr. Sherrie A. Kossoudji is presently an associate professor in the School of Social Work and an adjunct associate professor in the Department of Economics. Her principal research area is immigration. She has written numerous articles on the legal status of immigrant workers in the United States and the incentives to cross the border illegally. Much of her work attempts to discern the link between legal status in the United States and economic outcomes. She has written on wealth disparities for immigrants--in particular, on homeownership as assets for immigrants. Her latest immigration work focuses on new immigrant children to the United States, particularly adopted orphans from abroad, and on the economic incentives and consequences of citizenship for immigrants to the United States. Recently, she has examined markets for body parts around the world. In particular, markets for sperm and ova are useful to identify social constructions of desirability and the price associated with them. She has also written on numerous labor and wealth issues and gendered outcomes. Much of her work focuses on gendered differences in economic outcomes for those at the margins of society. Dr. Kossoudji speaks publicly around the world about immigration, citizenship, and life sciences and reproduction.

Did you miss the story of the curation of these data? Listen to it here on ICPSR's YouTube Channel: http://myumi.ch/9o4qW

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

96 Minutes.

Given the urgency of our times to promote social justice, Jay Crisostomo (MES, UM), Kristina Richardson (History, CUNY), and Bryan Roby (Judaic Studies, UM) will reflect on their experience of systemic racism, sexism, and homophobia in Middle East Studies. Much critique has been voiced by Ethnic Studies and Gender & Women’s Studies programs about structural inequalities in the academy, yet we have remained silent about the peculiar forms of discrimination that inhabit ME Studies. How can we raise awareness and practice social justice in our teaching, research, and professional activities? Join us for a conversation on intolerance in the field of Middle East Studies.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This panel discussion will explore how the US has become so polarized, and discuss our present racial, class, and urban/rural divides and their impact on the election, and our lives generally. With the election behind us when this discussion takes place, the panel will focus on how we return to American ideals, heal, and move forward.

Our panelists:
Kevin Deegan-Krause is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Wayne State University. He received his undergraduate degree in Economics from Georgetown University in 1990 and his doctorate in Government from the University of Notre Dame in 2000. He has spent more than two decades studying how political parties compete against one another, and how that competition shapes what happens in a democracy. His latest book is The New Party Challenge: Changing Cycles of Party Birth and Death in Central Europe and Beyond, published by Oxford University Press in 2020.

Vincent Hutchings is the Hanes Walton Jr. Collegiate Professor of Political Science at UM and a Research Professor at the UM Institute for Social Research. He received his Ph.D. in 1997 from the University of California, Los Angeles. His research examines the ways in which political campaigns and the media frame information about racial issues in order to activate and make politically relevant the voters’ sympathies and/or antipathies for particular racial groups.

Jennifer Silva joined the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University in 2019. Previously, Silva taught sociology at Bucknell University. She was also a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, where she studied the impact of economic insecurity on social connectedness and civic engagement. Silva’s latest book is We’re Still Here: Pain and Politics in the Heart of America (Oxford University Press, 2019). Silva earned her Ph.D. and M.A. in sociology from the University of Virginia. She also studied sociology at the undergraduate level at Wellesley College.

Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the event.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Ginsberg Center

This WeListen session is open to all UM staff members. All voices and views are welcome and the Zoom link for this event will be shared once you've RSVP'd.

RSVP here: http://bit.ly/WLDecember20

We will discuss COVID-19 as the global pandemic impacts the lives and livelihood of people across the world. Our discussion will focus on policy, both implemented and proposed, at the federal and state level and small-group time will be dedicated to a deep dive into the day-to-day implications of COVID-19.

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

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

Questions? Email us at welistenstaff@umich.edu.

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

December Togetherness: QTBIPOC Gatherings
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 Trey Boyton (she/her/hers). Trey has spent her professional career working to create inclusive environments. For nearly 20 years, she worked in university settings driving equity and inclusion for students, faculty and staff at the University of Michigan. She shifted to the tech industry in 2017 when she joined Duo Security as their first head of diversity and inclusion. As the lead for overall diversity strategy, Trey envisioned a bold road ahead for Duo and implemented company-wide programs and initiatives that positively grew Duo’s magical culture and team. For Trey, inclusion work is deeply personal. She describes it as head to heart work centered on creating space so that employees and teams are valued, celebrated, and able to define their own success. In short, her ultimate goal is to reduce barriers to brilliance.

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

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

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

96 Minutes.

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

96 Minutes.

We will discuss Mass Incarceration in the United States-it's history and present day impact. Participants will receive a content presentation to review in advance of the virtual session, and the majority of our time will be spent in small group discussion.

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 WeListen Staff Series planning committee with members from the Ginsberg Center, the International Institute, LSA Psychology and Michigan Medicine, and the LSA DEI Office.

Bodies represent the sites of socially constructed differences and power relations. As such, the personal is political, and bodies are subject to political interpretations. Body politics based on racial (and/or ethnic) ascriptions (along with other intersecting elements such as sex, gender, sexuality, age, social class, ability, etc.) have adversely affected the overall health and wellness of bodies of Color in general, and Black bodies in particular - impacting their abilities, opportunities, access (inclusion/exclusion), care/treatment, and the overall nature of their lived experiences. Consequently, racialed body politics have contributed to an array of health disparities being more pronounced in communities of Color. However, movement offers a variety of health benefits and is therefore, a source of empowerment for racially politicized bodies.

This event will feature a keynote presentation by Dr. Monique Butler, U-M Kinesiology alumna and Chief Medical Officer for HCA Healthcare North Florida Division. She will address the theme "Where Do We Go From Here: Body Politics and Movement Towards Racial Empowerment."

This event is sponsored by the U-M Health Sciences units and hosted by the School of Kinesiology.

Dr. Wassink is Director of the Sociolinguistics Laboratory and an associate professor of Linguistics at the University of Washington. She will give a talk titled "Uneven success: racial bias in automatic speech recognition."

The event will take place on Zoom and is open to the public. A reception will follow (see separate link).

ABSTRACT
Racial bias in automatic speech recognition is an emerging area of concern in fields associated with human-computer interaction. Research to date suggests that sociolinguistic variation, namely systematic sources of sociophonetic variation, has yet to be extensively exploited in Acoustic Model architectures. This talk reports a study that evaluates the performance of one ASR system for a multi-ethnic sample of speakers from the American Pacific Northwest (including Native American, African American, European American and ChicanX speakers). Using a sociophonetic approach to characterizing vocalic and consonantal variation, I ask which dialect features appear to be most challenging for our ASR system. We also ask which error types are particular to the four ethnic dialects sampled. Recordings of both conversational and read speech were coded for a common set of 18 sociophonetic variables with distinct phonetic profiles. Automatic transcription was achieved using CLOx, a custom-built ASR system created in the University of Washington Sociolinguistics Laboratory. Normalized error frequency rates (Nf) are compared across ethnic group samples to evaluate CLOx performance. Nf error rates demonstrate clear differential performance in the ASR system, pointing to racial bias in system output. Specific predictions are made regarding approaches that might be taken to leverage sociophonetic knowledge to improve sociolect-recognition accuracy in ASR systems.

To Travel a Different Road: The Translation of African-American Poetry into Yiddish, 1925-1936 (January 21, 2021 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80077 80077-20556854@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 21, 2021 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Slavic Languages & Literatures

In 1936, a Yiddish-language anthology Neger-Dikhtung in Amerike (Negro-Poetry in America) was published in Moscow. It was compiled and translated by the Kiev-born, American educated Robert Magidoff, and remains to this day the most extensive corpus of African-Diasporic poetry in Yiddish translation. The presentation will examine the anthology’s position amongst different notions of “the folk” in Soviet Yiddish ethnography and folkloristics, the writings of James Weldon Johnson and W.E.B. Du Bois, with whom Magidoff corresponded, and the Yiddish modernist poetry of Shmuel Halkin, who edited the book series in which the anthology appears. When placed alongside DuBois's and others' visits to the Soviet Union in the 1930s, the appearance of African-American poetry in Yiddish translation shows how a transatlantic Jewish avant-garde interpreted and embedded itself within Soviet-African-American contacts in between the Two World Wars. Magidoff served as a Soviet correspondent for NBC and the Associated Press from 1935.
He was accused of espionage and expelled from the USSR in 1948. In 1963 he defended a PhD in Russian literature at the University of Michigan Slavic Department.

In our dynamic world, the pursuit of health equity is both valiant and never complete. Generations of public health leaders have devoted themselves to the ultimate goal of a healthier, more equitable world for all. Bringing contemporary leaders to share their insights, vision, and perseverance is the principle of Ahead of the Curve, a new speaker series from the University of Michigan School of Public Health.

A fourth-generation physician whose paternal grandparents fled Germany in the early 1930s to build a new life in Mexico, Julio Frenk catalyzed his deep gratitude for the kindness of strangers into a lifelong mission to improve the health, education, and well-being of people around the world. Dr. Frenk currently serves as president of the University of Miami. He began his presidency in August of 2015 following nearly seven years as dean of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Dr. Frenk has an extensive professional record spanning three decades and a career that has included leadership positions in all relevant aspects of public health and higher education: research, teaching, analysis of public policies, institution-building, international cooperation, and national public service.

What are the secrets for effective student activism? How do student activists leverage their experiences with activism on campus in their personal and professional lives, after graduation?

Join eight members of the Students of Color Coalition twenty years after their takeover of the Michigan Union tower on Feb. 6, 2000, a sit-in to protest the appropriation of Native American culture by elite campus club and “secret society” Michigamua. Their protest lasted for 37 days and impacted their lives during and after their careers at Michigan, while bringing greater awareness of systemic racism to campus and in the greater community. Come learn about their experiences during the strike and how campus activists shape meaningful lives and careers when their days of campus activism are behind them.

How to Go Beyond Diversity and Achieve Equity and Inclusion in Academia (February 11, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80487 80487-20728306@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 11, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

RSVP here to receive Zoom link: cew.umich.edu/events/cewinspire-workshop-how-to-go-beyond-diversity-and-achieve-equity-and-inclusion-in-academia

The main objective of this workshop is for participants (faculty, students, administration, and staff) to develop a personal connection with the plight of racial-ethnic and sexual minorities in institutions of higher education. This work is needed for the advancement of individual and institutional empathy so that we can move from tolerating to accepting to celebrating underrepresented minorities in academia. This will be achieved by encouraging workshop participants to identify instances: in their own lives in which structural prejudice and bigotry and individual-level macroaggressions hampered their career development; in which they intentionally and/or unintentionally contributed to advancing structural prejudice and bigotry and/or perpetrated individual-level macroaggressions that may have hampered the career of underrepresented faculty, students, administration, and staff; and in which they were bystanders who did not intervene to dismantle structural prejudice and bigotry and/or address individual-level macroaggressions that they witnessed.

Format: This hands-on workshop will include:
A. A short lecture whose content will include Pinto’s personal experiences and personal examples of the dynamics listed above. This will be reinforced with statistics (e.g., disparities in tenure and promotion), and anecdotes from other minority individuals.

B. Following the lecture, Pinto, in collaboration with other actors, will use Theater of the Oppressed (Port: Teatro dos Oprimidos) techniques to model skits reflecting each of the instances listed above. Skits will be scripted such that the ending of each story will be decided by participants in small groups with an eye toward actions they can take to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the academic space. (Boal A. (1979). Theatre of the Oppressed. New York, NY: Theater Communications Group).

C. Following small group discussions, all participants will reconvene to discuss strategies for welcoming underrepresented minorities into their social networks. This portion of the workshop will help participants to understand how they can help underrepresented minorities develop social capital by lending their social support: emotional, concrete, and informational.

Rogério Pinto accepting on behalf of the Faculty Allies for Diversity Committee: Born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Rogério M. Pinto is a professor and associate dean for research at the University of Michigan School of Social Work. He is the co-chair of the Faculty Allies for Diversity Committee. In his work, Pinto focuses on finding academic, sociopolitical, and cultural venues for broadcasting voices of oppressed individuals and groups. Funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, his community-engaged research focuses on the impact of interprofessional collaboration on the delivery of evidence-based services to marginalized racial/ethnic and sexual minority individuals. Funded by the University of Michigan Office of Research, as a new scholarly pursuit, he is building an art installation, The Realm of the Dead, to investigate his own personal marginalization as a gender non-confirming, mixed-race, and Latinx immigrant. This installation will serve as the stage set for Pinto’s award-winning theatrical performance, Marília, a one-person play, in which Pinto further explores the tragic death of his 3-year old sister, Marília, and how such loss haunts and inspires the lives of the family members she left behind. Marília won the 2015 United Solo Festival Best Documentary Script and it will be performed again at the University of Michigan as part of the centennial celebration of the School of Social Work.

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

In this online presentation, Lindsey Willow Smith and Veronica Cook Williamson will provide an introductory glimpse into the Clements’ new online exhibit: 'No, not even for Picture': Re-Examining the Native Midwest and Tribes’ Relations to the History of Photography. This exhibit seeks to re-historicize and re-humanize the contexts, subjects, and circumstances leading to the production of the Richard Pohrt Jr. Collection of Native American Photography. Using examples from the exhibit to speak about their motivations and goals as co-curators, the two will touch on themes of photography as a tool of settler colonialism, photographic assertions of sovereignty and agency, and raise questions about (in)visibility and voice. They will also discuss how the transition to remote work affected the exhibit design and their approaches.

An Honest Conversation: Diversity and Inclusion in Engineering (February 17, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81702 81702-20943454@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 17, 2021 3:30pm

Organized By: Engineering Education Research

In 2020, we witnessed several examples of social injustice and social unrest. As human beings and engineers, we must decide how we want to respond to what happened and how we want to move forward. Calls to improve our approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have coincided with the call to update our overall engineering curriculum. Over the years, several initiatives have been launched to address such issues, which primarily attempt to address perceived inadequacies in underrepresented students. However, scarce efforts have been developed to address the engineering culture that has limited the full participation of women and people of color in engineering. Furthermore, few of us in engineering have the knowledge, skills, or ability to productively engage with issues leading to the marginalization and social unrest. Rarely do we dare to apply our problem-solving or critical thinking approaches to how to educate or improving DEI. As a result, the goal of this talk is to provide engineers with language to have an honest conversation about our individual and collective response to the inequity in engineering and realign our actions to improve engineering education. This impactful workshop will provide definitions and practical examples of key DEI concepts in engineering based on holistic interdisciplinary research.

Our nation is poised to invest billions of dollars to remain the leader in artificial intelligence as well as quantum computing. This investment is critically needed to reinvigorate the science that will shape our future.

In order to get the most from this investment, we have to create an environment that will produce innovations that are not just technical advancements but will also benefit and uplift everybody in our society. We are increasingly seeing how AI is having a pervasing impact on our lives, both for good and for bad.

This talk will explore the causes of systemic inequality in AI, the impact of this inequity within the field of AI and across society today, and offer thoughts for the next wave of AI inference systems for robotics that could provide introspectability and accountability. Ideas explored build upon the BlackInComputing.org open letter and "Before we put $100 billion into AI…" opinion.

Equal opportunity for anyone requires equal opportunity for everyone.

This semester, we are excited to offer three events as follow-ups to the Six Diversity Myths articles, starting with Professor Jenkins' on inequality in AI. Our February and March DEI lectures will include faculty and an alum from the articles, and the EnginTalk will feature CoE students.

Organized By: Arts Initiative

Arts institutions, such as museums, were founded on colonialist ideas – white Europeans collected the rest of the world during their conquests and travels, establishing places to promote one set of cultural ideals at the expense of others. Though many have reexamined their history and practices, shifting their missions toward education and visitor experience, museums and other arts institutions carry the baggage of these historic origins. For our arts institutions to matter and fulfill their mission to BiPOC and future publics can we rethink and repair them? Or, should we knock them all down and rebuild new institutions? Or something in between? Our panel considers these questions in a wide-ranging discussion on the future of art institutions.

Moderated by Christina Olsen, Director of the University of Michigan Museum of Art; with Maurita Poole, Director and curator of the museum at Clark Atlanta University; Terence Washington, Program Director at NXTHVN, a model to advance the careers of artists and curators of color through mentorship and professional development; and Anya Sirota, Associate Dean of Academic Initiatives at Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.

Say Her Name…Too

This will be a discussion moderated by Dr. Antonio C. Cuyler and Professor Lawrence M. Jackson about the spaces that lie between Dance and Social Activism. This event will feature a screen dance viewing of Dance artist Lawrence M. Jackson’s work, “Say Her Name…Too." A short screen dance, this work will combine cinematic elements with choreography and explores the lives of 5 Black women who died at the hands of law enforcement. The goal of this work is to bring awareness to the often-invisible names and stories of Black women and girls who have been victimized by racist police violence. Black women have been killed by the police at alarming rates, though we rarely hear their names. Knowing their names is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for lifting up their stories which in turn provides a much clearer view of the wide-ranging circumstances that make Black women’s bodies disproportionately subject to police violence. To lift up their stories, and illuminate police violence against Black women, we need to know who they are, how they lived, and why they suffered at the hands of police…this film aims to do just that…

Comparing Transitions to Democracy in 18th Century France and 20th Century South Africa (February 23, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79975 79975-20523445@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 23, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

In comparing transitions to democracy in late 18th century France and late 20th century South Africa, this study group will explore some of the fundamental factors that may determine the viability of democracy in a given society.

Why were black and white South Africans able to cobble together the relatively peaceful resolution of their political conflicts that consistently eluded supposedly enlightened 18th century Frenchmen? Why was a process of negotiation successful in South Africa but largely absent from the French Revolution? What role did political leadership, in particular that of Nelson Mandela, play in shaping these distinct outcomes?

This study group led by Barry Shapiro, emeritus professor of history, will meet for eight Tuesdays beginning February 23.

Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Ginsberg Center

This WeListen session is open to all UM staff members across the political spectrum.

All voices and views are welcome and the Zoom link for this event will be shared once you've RSVP'd.

RSVP here: http://bit.ly/WLFeb21

We will discuss free speech in the digital age in the United States with a focus on social media and the 2020 election. Participants will receive a content presentation to review in advance of the virtual session, and the majority of our time will be spent in small group discussion.

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 WeListen Staff Series planning committee with members from the Ginsberg Center, the International Institute, LSA Psychology and Michigan Medicine, and the LSA DEI Office.

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

This live discussion will bring together U-M experts and community members to engage in transparent and authentic dialogue on the realities of COVID-19, health disparities, and social inequities that Black communities face, and what can be done at U-M, and more broadly on a national scale, to address these issues.

Abolitionist University Studies: An Invitation (February 25, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/81639 81639-20935525@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, February 25, 2021 11:00am

Organized By: LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

*Zoom registration required: https://myumi.ch/E3jjK*

*We think it’s time to take up an abolitionist approach to the university. We can’t do it without you.*

Abolition, we believe, offers the occasion for thinking about the university in ways that the institution itself might otherwise render impossible. And in doing so it may provide an opportunity to trouble the institution as we know and inhabit it—and as it inhabits us. Inspired by radical scholars and organizers in and outside of universities, we embrace abolition as a generative rather than merely negative project. We aim to build relations that steal the sheen from the university’s romanticized history and to repurpose its resources, capacities, and function of reproducing sociality with and for other ways of being, other ways of living. In coming together, we take up the question, What would an abolitionist approach to the university say yes to?

These conversations belong to a larger set of recent efforts to theorize and historicize the dense and manifold linkages of universities with the infrastructure of settler colonial power, U.S. militarism, and racial capitalism. These efforts have sought not only to introduce new vocabularies and critical frames for how we understand universities and their conditions of possibility; they have also revealed some of the limits of the methodological tools heretofore available to think the university. From the well-intentioned methodological nationalism that tends to disappear the constitutive militarism of the Cold War university to the unrecognized settler imagination that valorizes as democratic the postbellum “public” land-grant institutions, to periodizations of the modern research university that hold its proximity to slavery at bay, the production of the university as an object of love and an occasion for rescue has often been reproduced in efforts to study it.

Abolitionist university studies, an emerging set of conversations about knowledge, power, and its institutional organizations has sought to offer a broad frame and a set of coordinates to study the university on different terms. It has, furthermore, insisted on regarding knowledge production not as a set of disembodied ideas or logics, but as organizational forms. Such a frame calls for methodological creativity. What kinds of pedagogical strategies does it open onto? What kind of historical frames get brought into courses, and how to bring abolitionist approaches into classrooms not nominally focused on the topic? How can abolitionist modes of organizing within universities open onto or remake existing political collectivities?

Centering the needs of QTBIPOC therapy-seekers, this workshop aims to help you to learn more about accessing and navigating therapy, the green and red flags of a therapist, and how to ask the right questions to find the right fit for you.

Our workshop presenter will be Kulky Nakai Psy.D. LP (they/them/theirs), a therapist practicing with Integrative Empowerment Group PLLC. In their work, they bring a creative, synergistic, and vibrant energy to the therapy room. They earned their doctorate in clinical psychology at Adler University in Chicago, IL and their masters in counseling psychology at Argosy University in San Diego, CA. Identifying as a fat and tattooed queer femme of color, Kulky has also experienced marginalization, discrimination, and oppression for these intersecting identities throughout their life. They understand the deep impact that prejudice and stigma has on one’s mental health and wellbeing, and they are committed to socio-political and cultural change in efforts towards social justice and equality. After years of professional training and personal exploration, they are not only fulfilling their calling but are also building their legacy. Accordingly, Kulky is intentional about helping to cultivate meaningful, healing, and transformative therapeutic relationships so that their clients may become their own compassionate caregiver and agent of change to live an authentic, value-guided, and worthwhile life.

Dr. Mariko Silver is the president and CEO of the Henry Luce Foundation. She was previously the president of Bennington College. During the Obama administration, she served for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as Acting Assistant Secretary and Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Policy.

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

*Zoom registration required: https://myumi.ch/yKBDP*

*How much does your university contribute to policing? How much does policing rely on your university? Who does it police? Where does it police?*

If you don’t have answers to these questions, you probably want them. We want them too.

Do you think it’s important for students to know how to find answers to these questions? Do you think it’s important for communities to find answers to them when police have jurisdiction that goes beyond the university campus?

The Cops Off Campus research project is a way of collecting this data to instigate a larger public conversation about the relations between universities and policing. We are looking to help instructors, students, organizers, and communities to ask questions about how much money and how many other resources universities devote to policing and what the effects are. We invite folks to participate in a project to collect data about university/police relationships with the goal of kicking cops off campuses and abolishing policing. We are excited to collaborate with members of the University of Michigan community toward these ends.

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

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

*Please direct any questions or accommodation requests to Mikalia Dennis (mikaliad@umich.edu) as soon as possible.*

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

In this session, participants will:

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

Audience:

This session is open to all LSA Staff.

We will do this not only through the performances themselves, but also from appearances by our event host and various cameos from well-respected members of the entertainment industry and U-M community.

We are excited to announce that the event will feature appearances from the music group Two Friends, Vice President of Student Life Martino Harmon, two-time Olympic athlete Tiffany Porter, and more!

Tune in to Michigan's Got Talent on YouTube March 3rd at 8pm EST. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to parniam@umich.edu.
