Asian American History: Past and Present with Dr. Manan Desai (August 3, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84778 84778-21624935@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, August 3, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Engineering Diversity and Outreach (CEDO)

This lecture and discussion examines key moments in American history that illustrate the ways Asian Americans have been racialized in the U.S, how they have been subject to legal and extralegal exclusion and discrimination, as well as the ways communities have organized in resistance. Using key case studies spanning the late 19th century to the present moment, we will consider: What lessons from the past can we use to understand our present? What role can Asian Americans continue to play in the ongoing struggle against white supremacy and social inequalities?

This lecture is sponsored by the Center for Engineering Diversity & Outreach (CEDO), the APID/A Staff Association and Graduate Rackham International (GRIN).

This lecture is part one of a three part series on combating anti-Asian hate, harassment and racism throughout the 2021/2022 academic year.

Promoting Racial Equity in Student Mental Health (August 19, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84950 84950-21625328@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, August 19, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: National Center for Institutional Diversity

Mental health remains a significant concern for students of color in higher education. Students of color often report experiencing daily micro-aggressions, harassment, alongside racial discrimination, as they navigate classroom and institutional contexts at their college or university. As such, promoting and ensuring supportive and responsive learning environments can alleviate the stress experienced by students of color as well as strengthen and reframe how we define student success. As their campuses prepare to welcome them back for in-person instruction, recognizing, attending to, and ameliorating the effects of the past year’s accumulated racial trauma will be critical to support and promote student thriving and healing. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the unique racial traumas that undergraduate and graduate students of color may face in and outside of their classrooms. In addition, this session offers practical and culturally sensitive recommendations regarding how instructors can foster mental well-being for students of color in their courses.

Welcome and framing remarks by Tabbye Chavous, Director of the National Center for Institutional Diversity; Professor of Education and Psychology; and Associate Dean of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion in the College of Literature, Sciences, & the Arts at the University of Michigan

Moderated by Carlota Ocampo, Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs; Associate Professor of Psychology at the Trinity Washington University; Steve Fund National Advisor

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

This presentation examines how cultural invalidations and racial code-switching are associated with ethnic-racial identity development, mental health, and occupational outcomes among people of color. Cultural invalidations are identity threats that challenge the authenticity of a person’s membership within their racial group, and racial code-switching is the process of modifying one's behavior to adhere to the norms of specific racial groups in different contexts. Implications regarding the psychological costs and benefits of cultural invalidations and racial code-switching will be discussed.

The nuclear energy sector finds itself at a crossroads— in the US as well as globally. Environmentalists and policymakers are increasingly calling for nuclear energy to make substantial contributions to our future low carbon energy systems, even as nuclear energy remains at the center of polarizing debates about nuclear waste, safety, proliferation, and inequitable treatment of communities of color displaced or harmed by nuclear facilities. Reimagining a new future for the nuclear sector requires repairing and building trust with society and a responsible stewardship of nuclear technologies and nuclear wastes that centers principles of environmental justice. Through this conversation, we hope to begin to reimagine the technological, institutional, intellectual, and ethical foundations of the nuclear energy sector.

Summer Program Series: Follow-Up Fall

In the midst of the excitement of starting another academic year, it's important to reflect on the successes of the summer, particularly college readiness programs, and use what we've learned to inform future efforts. Please join us on September 15 from 1:00 to 2:30 PM EST for a virtual session of our Summer Programs Series focused on “Follow-Up Fall.”

We will share best practices and you will be able to gather ideas from peer summer programs, learn more about college readiness, and consider your program’s next steps. This event will have three main sessions:
- Three lightning talks from U-M summer programs that embed college and career readiness within their K-12 programs
- An external speaker panel highlighting the in-person and virtual K-12 programs of Grand Valley State University, Bowling Green State University, and Calvin University
- A discovery session on “What’s the Pulse” of our college and career readiness elements of U-M programs and a reflective group discussion in breakout rooms

In this presentation, I will focus on racial identity-context congruence, that is, the extent that racially minoritized students' constructions around the importance and meaning of their race can be aligned or misaligned with their experienced academic environments. I will share studies linking students' identity-based experiences (interpersonal and climate experiences in academic and social contexts) that are stigmatizing or affirming to outcomes related to their academic identities, achievement, and persistence. This work also highlights how many racially minoritized and underrepresented students draw on their racial and cultural identities in ways that promote their motivation and persistence, especially in settings where they are underrepresented and experience marginalization based on their multiple social identities (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, among other identities). I will discuss implications for scholarly approaches to studying positive development among racially minoritized students; as well as the need to shift away from institutional approaches focused only on supporting minoritized students in navigating non-congruous environments (individual student resilience) toward approaches focused on creating/recreating settings that affirm and align with minoritized students' identities and that leverage students' identity strengths to support them as whole persons (institutional resilience).

Organized By: Center for Educational Outreach

Join us for the University Outreach Council's (UOC) September event: "A National Crisis - Responding to the Decreased Numbers in Admissions," held on September 22 from 1:00 - 2:30 PM (EST).

We will be reflecting on this topic with three main speakers:
- Audrey Williams June, the News-Data Manager of The Chronicle of Higher Education. She is the author of “Spring Enrollment’s Final Count Is In. Colleges Lost 600,000 Students,” which analyzed data from the National Clearinghouse from this last year.
- Ryan Fewins-Bliss, the Executive Director of the Michigan College Access Network. Ryan has worked in education and the nonprofit field for more than 15 years having served in K-12, higher education, and community organizations.
- Erica Sanders, the Director of the U-M Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Sanders has also been the director of recruitment and operations, director of review and evaluations, and assistant director for out-of-state recruitment.

A national and state-wide topic of interest, we will discuss this topic with a few U-M speakers on a more local level and brainstorm solutions on how your pre-college programs can ensure positive admissions experiences and increase the likelihood of students applying to college after your programs. This is a great opportunity to hear about best practices from experts and exchange ideas with peers.

DEI Lecture Series: Stereotyping, implicit bias, and the experiences of women and underrepresented minorities in STEM (September 23, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86288 86288-21632589@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 23, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Engineering

Learning how to recognize and prevent our own bias from having negative impacts is a lifelong practice. Stereotype threat is the risk of confirming negative stereotypes about an individual's racial, ethnic, gender, or cultural group which can create high cognitive load and reduce academic focus and performance.

Experimental research on implicit bias and stereotype threat has revealed the powerful influence of negative stereotypes on women and URM people in STEM.   

This work reveals differential evaluation of women vs. men and majority vs. URM groups, and shows the influence of a more “chilly” or negative climate for members of groups targeted by negative stereotypes.  

U-M Professor Denise Sekaquaptewa will describe social science research findings regarding the experiences of White women and underrepresented racial/ethnic minority (URM) people in STEM fields and discuss recommendations for institutional change that can help create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all.

Researchers have used social dominance, system justification, authoritarianism, and social identity theories, to understand intergroup phenomena ranging from racial categorization to political movements. The result has been a growing understanding of how particular sociopolitical motives and contexts impact intergroup relations, without a unifying perspective to integrate these insights. Using research on multiracial categorization as a case study, I review evidence supporting each theory’s predictions concerning how monoracial perceivers categorize multiracial people that combine their ingroup with an outgroup, with attention to the moderating role of perceiver group status. I find most studies in the multiracial categorization literature cannot arbitrate between theories of intergroup relations and reveal additional gaps in the literature. To advance this research area, I introduce the Sociopolitical Motive x Intergroup Threat (SMIT) Model of Intergroup Relations that 1) clarifies which sociopolitical motives interact with which intergroup threats to predict categorization and 2) highlights the role of perceiver group status. Moreover, I consider how the SMIT model can help understand phenomena beyond multiracial categorization.

Do you find yourself feeling lost when people around you are laughing and you seem to have missed the joke? Humor is an important part of interacting but can be a challenge to understand. Ideas about what is funny can vary greatly from culture to culture. Jokes can include tricky wordplay and idiomatic expressions. Yet ‘getting’ humor can support success in academic, social and professional life. This small interactive workshop includes a presentation of several common types of humor and current examples of popular U.S. humor, followed by analysis and discussion of what makes the content funny. Please come prepared to participate actively in small group discussions.

Janet and Bernard Becker Professor and Director, Institute for Informatics (I2), Associate Dean for Health information and Data Science, Chief Data Scientist, at Washington University in St. Louis

This presentation will explore the ways in Biomedical Data Science and Informatics research are helping to realize the potential of EHR technologies in the context of creating an LHS, from the optimization of workflow and human factors, to the generation of reproducible and systematic clinical phenotypes, to the delivery of emergent knowledge to both providers and patients via advance clinical decision support systems.

Techniques and Challenges for EHR Phenotyping

Speaker:
Lisa Bastarache, MS
Research Associate Professor Department of Biomedical Informatics,
Vanderbilt University

Electronic health records (EHR) contain a wealth of real world data that can be used for research purposes. However, extracting phenotype information from EHRs can be challenging. EHR phenotyping can be divided into two types: (1) Fast phenotyping which seeks to capture a broad swath of the medical phenome, and is often accomplished using coded EHR data (e.g. billing codes) and (2) slow phenotyping that seeks to achieve high precision and recall for a single phenotype, and often uses multiple EHR data types (e.g. medications, text, lab results). This talk will describe specific use-cases for both fast and slow phenotyping, and review challenges that are commonly encountered in creating research-grade EHR phenotypes.

Germine Awad's scholarship is characterized by three interrelated areas of inquiry: prejudice and discrimination, identity and acculturation, and more recently, body image among women of color. She has also written in the area of multicultural research methodology. The majority of her research is guided by the questions “What factors lead to discrimination against ethnic minorities?” and “What impacts perceptions of experienced discrimination?” The two populations that she has primarily focused on are Arab/Middle Eastern Americans and African Americans. Although overt discrimination towards ethnic minorities has decreased over the years, the practice of more covert, subtle forms of prejudice remains. The events of September 11, 2001, however, reintroduced more explicit forms of prejudice towards Arab/Middle Eastern Americans, and those perceived to be Muslim, complicating the dialogue on discrimination in the United States. Awad is concerned with how prejudicial attitudes and ideology impact attitudes towards ethnic minorities generally and within specific domains such as the workplace and higher education. In addition, she examines how racial/ethnic identity and acculturation impact ethnic minorities’ perception of discrimination. Most recently, she has expanded her identity and acculturation research to the study of body image concerns among women of color.

Translation and Migration: A Virtual Conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio (October 1, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/87136 87136-21639082@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 1, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Join us from 3-4:30 pm via zoom on October 1, 2021 for a virtual conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio about translation and migration in her debut book of creative non-fiction, The Undocumented Americans.

To kick off the tenth annual Translate-a-thon at the University of Michigan, Professor William Stroebel will sit down and talk with Villavicencio about the roles, methods, and uses of translation lurking behind and inside the pages of her book: translation between languages, translation between dialects and registers, translation between spoken and written media, translation between genres of translation like interpretation in legal or journalistic settings and literary translation, along with her current attempts to translate the book into Spanish.

Her book breaks many things. It breaks boundaries between genres, mixing the rhythms of rock and the cadences of hip hop and the political anger of punk and the slow contemplation of lyric poetry into the burning advocacy of its prose reportage (along with a little dose of magical realism to boot). The book also breaks the mold of representation traditionally deployed by advocates and allies, who elevate the gifted DREAMers of DACA into poster children above a faceless, nameless mass of day-laborers, cleaners, construction workers, factory hands, deliverymen, dish washers and dog walkers.

These are the ones who take center stage in her book, and tell their stories as beautifully imperfect, hardworking, weird, and “just people,” sorting through the trauma of an oppressive system built and sustained by their exploitation and terrorization and invisibility. Villavicencio breaks through this invisibility and the taboos of representation and in doing so she calls upon its readers to break the system: “it’s time to fuck some shit up.” But amidst the great praise that this finalist for the National Book Award has won, very little has been said about another thing that her avant-gardism breaks: conventions of translation.

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature and the Language Resource Center at the University of Michigan, with support from the 2021-22 Mellon Sawyer Seminar Series on Sites of Translation in the Multilingual Midwest.

We invite community members of all ages and languages to participate in the annual Translate-a-Thon at the University of Michigan on October 1-2, 2021.

A Translate-a-Thon is a short, intense, community-driven translation marathon, where volunteers interested in translation come together to translate materials for the benefit of our local, national, and international community.

Coordinated by the Language Resource Center and co-sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature, our Translate-a-thon also promotes a sense of community among translators. We welcome current students and alums, faculty and staff, teachers and students from local high schools, prospective transfer students, professional translators and other interested parties.

This year we are celebrating ten years of the Translate-a-Thon, with a special theme on translation and migration. We kick off the weekend at 3pm on October 1 with a Virtual Conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, author of The Undocumented Americans. We will highlight translation projects for Freedom House Detroit, to support their mission of outreach to asylum seekers.

A range of other community translation projects will also be available to work on over the weekend, remotely or in person. Check out our Translation Gallery with more information for volunteers to translate work on projects in many languages!

We also welcome colleagues from other colleges and universities who would like to observe our activities in order to learn about organizing similar events at their own institutions. To follow up, we will host a workshop on “How to Run a Translate-a-Thon” (for further details contact complit.info@umich.edu).

We invite community members of all ages and languages to participate in the annual Translate-a-Thon at the University of Michigan on October 1-2, 2021.

A Translate-a-Thon is a short, intense, community-driven translation marathon, where volunteers interested in translation come together to translate materials for the benefit of our local, national, and international community.

Coordinated by the Language Resource Center and co-sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature, our Translate-a-thon also promotes a sense of community among translators. We welcome current students and alums, faculty and staff, teachers and students from local high schools, prospective transfer students, professional translators and other interested parties.

This year we are celebrating ten years of the Translate-a-Thon, with a special theme on translation and migration. We kick off the weekend at 3pm on October 1 with a Virtual Conversation with Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, author of The Undocumented Americans. We will highlight translation projects for Freedom House Detroit, to support their mission of outreach to asylum seekers.

A range of other community translation projects will also be available to work on over the weekend, remotely or in person. Check out our Translation Gallery with more information for volunteers to translate work on projects in many languages!

We also welcome colleagues from other colleges and universities who would like to observe our activities in order to learn about organizing similar events at their own institutions. To follow up, we will host a workshop on “How to Run a Translate-a-Thon” (for further details contact complit.info@umich.edu).

Realm of the Dead (October 4, 2021 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86446 86446-21634321@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, October 4, 2021 8:00am
Location:
Organized By: School of Social Work

Realm of the Dead is an installation/performance, freely adapted from Rogério Pinto’s award-winning play, Marília, about his sister who died in an accident in the street outside the family home when she was three years old and he just tenth months. Comprising a solo performance and an installation that serves as a set for that performance, Realm of the Dead is grounded in the work of the Brazilian theater artist Augusto Boal and in autoethnographic social work research and practice. These methodologies are recommended as vehicles for critical reflection, self-healing, personal growth, and advocacy.

The Realm of the Dead installation comprises more than thirty suitcases, each reflecting an aspect of Pinto’s multiple physical and spiritual journeys and representing the cemetery where Marília is buried. The performance, directed by Erwin Maas, also includes autobiographical material and explorations of ethnicity, race, gender, class, and other identities. The autoethnographic content of the piece has been reformatted into workshops for students at the University of Michigan’s School of Social Work.

Detroit Hustles Harder: The(Re) Production of Systemic Racism through Organizational Practice (October 8, 2021 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86994 86994-21638107@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 8, 2021 1:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Our relational ethnography of a resource-constrained entrepreneurial ecosystem with changing racial demographics expands the study of systemic racism that emerges in and through organizations. Drawing on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality (CRT/I) frameworks, we critically interrogate the relational configuration between entrepreneurial support organizations (ESOs) and Black women entrepreneurs in Detroit, MI to understand how practices, or everyday activities that constitute organizational life, reinforce racial, gender, and class hierarchies. We implemented a site-based, relational ontology to analyze our qualitative interviews (n = 65) and field observations, which deepened the meaning and enactment of systemic racism in this particular ‘site’. Our data revealed ESOs use of discursive, embodied, and material practices to inform the types and extent of support offered to entrepreneurs in Detroit. Assemblages of these practices maintained or disrupted systemic racism through three key mechanisms: control over resources, relational patterns between residents, and the entrenched power dynamics in the city. Accordingly, we build theoretical knowledge of practices that may inadvertently reproduce racial inequality through adopting critical perspectives of organizations. We provide recommendations for organizations and other social institutions seeking to dismantle systemic racism based on the insights that emerged in our data. Keywords: Black women; entrepreneurs; Critical Race Theory; Intersectionality; Practice Theory

Realm of the Dead (October 10, 2021 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86446 86446-21634327@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 10, 2021 8:00am
Location:
Organized By: School of Social Work

Realm of the Dead is an installation/performance, freely adapted from Rogério Pinto’s award-winning play, Marília, about his sister who died in an accident in the street outside the family home when she was three years old and he just tenth months. Comprising a solo performance and an installation that serves as a set for that performance, Realm of the Dead is grounded in the work of the Brazilian theater artist Augusto Boal and in autoethnographic social work research and practice. These methodologies are recommended as vehicles for critical reflection, self-healing, personal growth, and advocacy.

The Realm of the Dead installation comprises more than thirty suitcases, each reflecting an aspect of Pinto’s multiple physical and spiritual journeys and representing the cemetery where Marília is buried. The performance, directed by Erwin Maas, also includes autobiographical material and explorations of ethnicity, race, gender, class, and other identities. The autoethnographic content of the piece has been reformatted into workshops for students at the University of Michigan’s School of Social Work.

Organized By: Flying Subtitles Collective

Who is behind those words on the screen that make it possible for us to watch films from across the world, regardless of our native language? How do streaming platforms and film festivals get their subtitles? What is the world of professional subtitlers actually like?

Over a year ago, students at the University of Michigan co-founded the Flying Subtitles Collective because they loved making subtitles for new and classic films as a way to work on their language skills and gain experience in translation. Now, they are inviting Andrea Raianu of the lyuno-SDI Group, a leading studio for dubbing, subtitling and more, to talk about the behind-the-scenes work of professional subtitlers.

All are welcome to tune into this Zoom meeting! If you are interested in translation, films, and subtitles, join us, and bring your questions!

Realm of the Dead (October 17, 2021 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/86446 86446-21634334@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 17, 2021 8:00am
Location:
Organized By: School of Social Work

Realm of the Dead is an installation/performance, freely adapted from Rogério Pinto’s award-winning play, Marília, about his sister who died in an accident in the street outside the family home when she was three years old and he just tenth months. Comprising a solo performance and an installation that serves as a set for that performance, Realm of the Dead is grounded in the work of the Brazilian theater artist Augusto Boal and in autoethnographic social work research and practice. These methodologies are recommended as vehicles for critical reflection, self-healing, personal growth, and advocacy.

The Realm of the Dead installation comprises more than thirty suitcases, each reflecting an aspect of Pinto’s multiple physical and spiritual journeys and representing the cemetery where Marília is buried. The performance, directed by Erwin Maas, also includes autobiographical material and explorations of ethnicity, race, gender, class, and other identities. The autoethnographic content of the piece has been reformatted into workshops for students at the University of Michigan’s School of Social Work.

This month’s Togetherness event will be held virtually, over Zoom. Registrants can choose to pick up a hot meal the day of the event - quantity is limited.

The Togetherness: QTBIPOC Gatherings are a collaboration between MESA and the Spectrum Center focusing on centering the experiences of Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and 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 Dominique Canning. Dominique (she/they) is a 6th year Ph.D. candidate in Linguistics with a focus on sociolinguistics and phonetics. Dominique identifies as aromantic asexual and agender, and is frequently conscious of how she and others use language to navigate through various social spaces as queer people. She has previously researched the conversation around asexuality as a queer identity, as well as the use of language in the construction of Titus Andromedon's identity as a Black gay man in the Netflix show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Her current research focuses on the use of language by queer Black people to construct and perform their identities as they move through the world.

Please join us for an engaging presentation and interactive discussion with Detroit native and Illinois State University Professor Charles Bell.

Speaker: Perry Zurn
Day: October 22nd
Time: 3-5 PM
Location: Zoom (email sumeetcp@umich.edu or graygv@umich.edu for link)
Title: Problematization: A Critical Framework for Trans Inclusion
Abstract: As part of the critical theory project, the philosophical method of problematization analyzes not only how it is that certain phenomena become problems, but what sort of problems they become and what set of solutions are offered in response. In this talk, I apply the method of problematization to the practice of trans inclusion in universities today. I do this in two ways. First, I analyze how it is that universities take trans life to be a problem such that certain trans-inclusive policies (and not others) are offered as a solution. Second, I analyze how trans people choose to become a problem for universities such that (trans-inclusive) policies are an insufficient response. Critically evaluating the parameters of competing problematizations, I close with some brief methodological reflections and practical recommendations.

Special Physics Presentation | Journey into the World of Particle Physics and the Cosmos — and a Call for a More Just Practice of Science (October 29, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/84413 84413-21623899@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 29, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department Colloquia

This presentation will live stream on the U-M Poverty Solutions Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eaca6llnjhs

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein's research focuses on theoretical work at the intersection of particle physics, cosmology, and astrophysics. She is interested in scalar dark matter candidates such as axions and axion-like particles, as well as neutron stars and inflationary cosmology. She is a member of the LSST Dark Matter Group and the STROBE-X Science Working Group, where she leads Team STROBE-Ax. Before coming to the University of New Hampshire, she held a NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellowship at Goddard Space Flight Center, a Martin Luther King Postdoctoral Fellowship in Physics at MIT, and was a research associate at the University of Washington.

In her book, "The Disordered Cosmos", Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein shares her love for physics, from the Standard Model of Particle Physics and what lies beyond it, to the physics of melanin in skin, to the latest theories of dark matter — all with a new spin informed by history, politics, and the wisdom of Star Trek.

One of the leading physicists of her generation, Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is also one of fewer than one hundred Black American women to earn a Ph.D. from a department of physics. Her vision of the cosmos is vibrant, buoyantly non-traditional, and grounded in Black feminist traditions.

Prescod-Weinstein urges us to recognize how science, like most fields, is rife with racism, sexism, and other dehumanizing systems. She lays out a bold new approach to science and society that begins with the belief that we all have a fundamental right to know and love the night sky. The Disordered Cosmos dreams into existence a world that allows everyone to experience and understand the wonders of the universe.

This presentation is co-sponsored by the Poverty Solutions of the U-M and the U-M Department of Physics.

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

In recent years, many organizations have adopted the notion that employees should “bring their whole selves to work,” or be authentic in the workplace. Research supports the benefits of authenticity at work (Cha et al., 2019). The conversation often assumes that everyone has equal opportunity to express themselves authentically. Yet, given the discrimination experienced by some employees, such Black women, authentic behavior may not be attainable, even for those in leadership positions. Drawing from research on power and intersectionality, we examined the factors that influence authenticity for Black women leaders in organizations. Findings from qualitative interviews reveal factors that inhibit and facilitate the willingness to be authentic at work, as well as the different manifestations and consequences of authentic behavior for Black women leaders at work. I discuss the theoretical and practical insights that emerge from this work.

Organized By: Engineering Education Research

Black families act as STEM incubators. Despite stereotypical representations that are often rooted in deficit framing, Black families provide their children access to STEM opportunities, resources, capital, ways of thinking, behaving, and sense-making Scholars have identified that Black parents influence the college-going and completion process through practices such as sharing information, developing expectations around school completion, positioning students as examples to younger siblings/family members, and by sharing advice on how to persist when faced with challenging situations.  Building on this work, I will present some of my research on Black family life and the lineage Black contributions to STEM in order to provide evidence of the ways that Black families incubate STEM learning and aspirations. I have found that families – with emphasis on parents – leverage capital and establish family cultures values and practices that support STEM exploration and confidence. This talk will highlight some of my recent contributions along with implications for research on informal/family learning spaces

Dr. Donnell Walton is the 2021 ECE Willie Hobbs Moore Alumni Lectureship recipient.

Abstract

I will discuss the past, present and future of electrical-engineering-related research at Corning Incorporated. I will overview Corning’s historical industry-defining contributions in areas comprising light bulbs, vacuum tubes and cathode ray tubes.I will provide an overview of our current work in wireless networks for autonomous vehicles, adaptive optics and electronics for active optical couplers, and novel materials for high-frequency printed circuit boards. I will conclude the talk with some ruminations and lessons on industrial research.

Bio

Dr. Donnell Walton is the director of the Corning Technology Center Silicon Valley. In this role, he leads research and business development efforts to match Corning’s existing and emerging capabilities and opportunities in the western United States, in particular, the Silicon Valley region of California.

Walton joined Corning in 1999 as a senior research scientist in Science & Technology, where he performed and led research in optical fiber amplifiers and lasers. In 2004, Walton led Corning’s research and development efforts to a world leadership position in high-power (kW) fiber lasers. Then in 2006, he managed the Silicon on Glass (SiOG) platform expansion project, which demonstrated non-display applications of SiOG including imagers and photovoltaics. In 2008, Walton joined the Corning® Gorilla® Glass team as a senior applications engineer, where he extended the Gorilla Glass value proposition to form factors larger than handheld devices. In 2010, Walton was appointed manager of worldwide applications engineering for Gorilla Glass.

Prior to joining Corning, Walton was a physics professor at Howard University in Washington, D.C., where he won the National Science Foundation’s Young Investigator (CAREER) Award.

Walton earned a Ph.D. in applied physics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor after graduating summa cum laude with bachelor’s degrees in physics and electrical engineering from North Carolina State University. He completed the Stanford Executive Program at the Graduate School of Business in 2019. He serves on the board of the National Society of Black Physicists, the research advisory board of the IBM-HBCU Quantum Center and the corporate affiliate boards at the Universities of California in Santa Barbara and San Diego. Walton has authored or co-authored 22 U.S. patents and more than 60 technical reports.

The ECE Dr. Willie Hobbs Moore Alumni Lecture is given by ECE alumni from traditionally underrepresented groups in Electrical and Computer Engineering who are leaders in their field and serve as role models for the ECE community through their leadership, impact on society, service to the community, or other contributions.

A Holistic Approach to Advancing Diversity in Graduate Programs (November 5, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88457 88457-21654142@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 5, 2021 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

The first round of attempts to diversify the academy, what we call Diversity 1.0, largely entailed attempting to remediate underrepresented students, through program support and other efforts, so that they could thrive within the academy. By and large, these efforts did not consider the biases embedded within institutions of higher education and the institutional changes that need to happen in order for minoritized students to feel they belong and can thrive within these institutional spaces. That deeper, institutional work is what we call Diversity 2.0 -- the process of evaluating and addressing the structural factors that make departments and campuses feel unwelcoming and unsupportive to minoritized students. To address this challenge, we suggest a holistic approach, one that includes a focus on admissions, belonging, climate, and data equity, as the best approach for creating the institutional transformations needed to make departments and campuses truly inclusive.

Lois Marie Gibbs of the Love Canal, New York (November 5, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88793 88793-21657768@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 5, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Lois Gibbs was raising her family in Love Canal, near Niagara Falls in upstate New York, in 1978 when she discovered that her home and those of her neighbors were sitting next to 20,000 tons of toxic chemicals. That shocking discovery spurred Lois to lead her community in a three-year struggle to protect their families from the hazardous waste buried in their backyards. By trial and error, Lois and her neighbors developed the strategies and methods to educate and organize the community, assess the impacts of toxic wastes on their health, and challenge corporate and government policies on the dumping of hazardous materials. Her leadership led to the relocation of 833 Love Canal households and the formation of the Federal Superfund Program, which is still active today.

Lois is currently the Executive Director of the Center for Health, Environment, and Justice. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including The Goldman Environmental Prize and The Heinz Award, and has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. A frequent public speaker, Gibbs has appeared on 60 Minutes, 20/20, Oprah Winfrey, Good Morning America, and many other television and radio programs.

Leaders facilitate a weekly group that is scheduled around their availability, attend weekly leader training meetings from 6:00-7:15 PM ET on Mondays, attend community-building events, and help with marketing efforts on campus. The overall time commitment is ~3 hours/week, and it is super rewarding. All students interested are encouraged to apply regardless of whether or not they have attended a WSN group.

10:00 am – 5:30 pm (hybrid)
Join us in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the Michigan Room of the Michigan League
or virtually through Zoom
For registration visit tinyurl.com/TranslatingArabic

This hybrid one-day symposium at the University of Michigan/Ann Arbor is co-sponsored by the Department of Comparative Literature, the Arab and Muslim American Studies Program (AMAS), the Department of Middle East Studies (MES), and the 2021-22 Mellon Sawyer Seminar Series on Sites of Translation in the Multilingual Midwest. Co-organized by Khaled Mattawa and Graham Liddell, the symposium features three panels that reflect on different forms of translation in Arab American communities in the Midwest. The event culminates a reading by Iraqi-American poet Dunya Mikhail.

The symposium will be held on the University of Michigan central campus in Ann Arbor, with the option to attend by remote access.

This event is free and open to the public. For registration visit tinyurl.com/TranslatingArabic

PANEL 1: Translation for Community Needs

This discussion will focus on the translation and interpretation services that are crucial for maintaining wellness and facilitating civic engagement and personal development among Limited English Proficiency (LEP) communities in Michigan, particularly Arab Americans. Moderated by Ghassan Abou-Zeineddine (professor at UM-Dearborn), the panel includes Karen Phillippi (director of the Office of Global Michigan), Anisa Sahoubah (director of ACCESS’s Youth and Education department), and Bilal Hammoud (chair of the Language Access Task Force for the State of Michigan).

PANEL 2: Arab American Media

This panel will center on the ways that Midwest Arab-American communities past and present have represented themselves in media. Moderated by Graham Liddell (Ph.D. candidate, U Michigan), the panel includes Ali Harb (reporter for Al Jazeera English), Hany Bawardi (professor at UM-Dearborn), William Youmans (professor at the George Washington University), and Lana Barkawi (Executive and Artistic Director of Mizna).

PANEL 3: Living in Translation

Our final panel will feature a conversation between three prominent Arab-American authors and translators about the aesthetics and politics of Arabic–English translation, within and beyond the realm of literature. Moderated by Nancy R. Roberts (translator of Arabic fiction), the panel includes Khaled Mattawa (poet, translator, and professor at U Michigan), Fady Joudah (poet, physician, and translator), and Dunya Mikhail (poet and lecturer at Oakland University).

Reading by Dunya Mikhail

Organizations are continuing to direct efforts to recruit women and underrepresented minority members (URM; Black/African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, or Hispanic/Latinx) to increase workforce diversity. Yet, the underrepresentation of women and URM members persists across many industries and organizations, rendering the need to strengthen the body of research that looks to find ways organizations can increase recruitment and selection of minority employees. My colleagues and I address this need by focusing on diversity recruitment within an academic setting, a context where hiring and promoting women and URM members continues to be a challenge. In the first two studies, we utilized and extend homophily theory to explain how and why the demographic composition of the recruitment team can contribute to attracting more women and URM candidates. In the third study, we examined how and why diversity recruitment strategies can have negative effects for URM applicants

Organized By: Center for Engineering Diversity and Outreach (CEDO)

Did you know, a woman driver who is wearing a seatbelt, is 17% more likely than a man to be killed when a crash takes place (NHTSA) because an equity-centered approach was not prioritized in the design of crash-test dummies? This is just one of many examples throughout history that has validated the need for a more inclusive thought process in engineering.

The College of Engineering (CoE) Diversity Equity and Inclusion Student Advisory Board or CoE DEI SAB invites you to join us for a virtual EnginTalk, titled “Embodying Equity-Centered Engineering” on Thursday, November 18th | 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM EST.

This interactive event seeks to engage the CoE community - faculty, staff and students - in a conversation about equity-centered engineering. We invite you to join us for an evening of deeper learning and rich conversation alongside a panel of six (6) STEM professionals to learn how they actualize an equity-centered approach in their work and how you can do the same!

Panelists Include:
-Dr. Erin Cech, Mechanical Engineering & Sociology Associate Professor at the University of Michigan
-Dr. Dave Chesney, Computer Science and Engineering Lecturer at the University of Michigan
-Jun Ge, R&D Program Manager at Stryker
-Katie Crawford, Civil and Environmental Engineering DEI Coordinator at the University of Michigan
-Dr. Jessy Grizzle, Director of Michigan Robotics
-Dr. Jan Stegemann, Associate Chair for the Masters Program and Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan

Register: https://ssw.umich.edu/r/TVPD
Several documents must be prepared in advance. Details available on the registration page.

The School of Social Work Office of Global Activities and U-M Spectrum Center are collaborating to host Trans Visibility Passport Day. During this event, the Washtenaw County Clerk's office will assist students and community members to apply for, renew, or make changes to their passport in the form of a name change* or updated gender marker.** Although this event is hosted specifically for folks needing a gender marker or name change, individuals not requiring these services but still in need of a new or renewed passport are welcome to attend.

*Please note that one must have already gone through the legal name change process and must be able to provide the original court documentation regarding the name change.

**Currently, you can obtain a ten-year passport with an updated gender marker if you have had clinical treatment determined by your doctor to be appropriate in your case, to facilitate gender transition. No specific details are required about the appropriate treatment (e.g., hormone-replacement therapy, surgery, etc.) to have an updated gender marker on your passport.

Improvisation & Encounter: Pedagogy (November 22, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89037 89037-21660285@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 22, 2021 7:00pm

Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Free & Open to the public
Registration required: https://myumi.ch/lxO3Q

The second in a series of virtual roundtable discussion curated by Scholar-in-Residency Ajay Heble, exploring the theme of Improvisation & Encounter. Drawing its inspiration in part from *The Fierce Urgency of Now: Improvisation, Rights, and the Ethics of Cocreation*, a collaboratively-authored book by Daniel Fischlin, George Lipsitz, and Ajay Heble, this series of online roundtable conversations will explore Improvisation in the arts as a scene of encounter. Moderated by Heble, the focus of the second panel is PEDAGOGY, and brings together educators from diverse disciplines. This roundtable will explore how the teaching and learning of improvisational artistic practices might be understood as vital and publicly resonant sites of encounter that generate new forms of knowledge, new understandings of identity and community, and new imaginative possibilities. How, we want to ask, might the kinds of cultural and pedagogical institutions and communities that present and promote improvised arts (both within and outside of traditional classrooms) shape our understanding of public culture, of memory, of history?

Douglas R. Ewart, Professor Emeritus at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, immigrated from Jamaica to Chicago in 1963, where he studied music theory at VanderCook College of Music, electronic music at Governors State University, and composition at the School of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. His life and his wide-ranging work have always been inextricably associated with Jamaican culture, history, politics, and the land itself. His extremely varied and highly interdisciplinary work encompasses music composition (including graphic and conceptual scores as well as conventionally notated works), painting and kinetic sound sculpture, and multi-instrumental performance. He has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Jerome Foundation, and others.

Ed Sarath is Professor of music in the Department of Jazz and Contemporary Improvisation at the University of Michigan and also director of the U-M Program in Creativity and Consciousness Studies. He founded and serves as president of the International Society for Improvised Music (www.isimprov.org). His most recent book is Black Music Matters: Jazz and the Transformation of Music Studies (Rowman and Littlefield, 2018), which along with his prior book Improvisation, Creativity, and Consciousness: Jazz as Integral Template for Music, Education, and Society (SUNY/Albany, 2013), are the first to apply to music principles of an emergent, consciousness-based worldview called Integral Theory.

Georgia Simms is an artist, educator and facilitator. Since 2005, she has taught Graham-based modern dance technique as well as movement improvisation in a variety of contexts, for youth and adults.These experiences in dance combined with her academic studies, in geography, governance and arts-based community engagement, inform her creation of learning experiences for students in the First Year Seminar Program at the University of Guelph. She also weaves movement into her group facilitation and program design for the local non-profit organization, Art Not Shame. Simms is currently an artist-in-residence with Guelph Dance for its 2020-2021 season.

Jesse Stewart is an award-winning composer, improviser, percussionist, visual artist, instrument builder, researcher, writer, educator, and community activist dedicated to reimagining the spaces between artistic disciplines. As a musician, he works primarily in the areas of jazz, new music, free improvisation, and electronic music. He has performed and/or recorded with musical luminaries from around the world including George Lewis, Roswell Rudd, Hamid Drake, Evan Parker, Bill Dixon, William Parker, Pauline Oliveros, David Mott, Malcolm Goldstein, Jandek, Pandit Anindo Chatterjee and many others, in addition to leading several groups and performing regularly as a soloist. A past recipient of the Terry Fox Humanitarian Award, he is dedicated to building and strengthening communities through arts education and outreach.

Scholar-in-Residence Ajay Heble is Director of the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation and Professor of English in the School of English and Theatre Studies at the University of Guelph. He is the author or editor of several books, and a founding co-editor of the journal Critical Studies in Improvisation/Études critiques en improvisation (www.criticalimprov.com). He was the Project Director for Improvisation, Community, and Social Practice, a large-scale Major Collaborative Research Initiative, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. As the Founder and Artistic Director of the Guelph Jazz Festival, Heble has jolted the citizens of Guelph into an appreciation of improvised and avant-garde music and delighted aficionados from around the world with his innovative and daring programming.

Organized By: Engineering Education Research

The University College London (UCL) Centre for Engineering Education is a joint venture between Faculty of Engineering Sciences and the Institute of Education (IoE). Through research and active engagement, it aims to encourage the study of engineering and allied subjects and drive curriculum innovations to help create the next generation of engineering graduates needed to address complex global challenges. The Centre for Engineering Education is heavily involved in the running and dissemination of UCL Engineering's Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP) – one of the four case studies described in the MIT report “Reimagining and rethinking engineering education” – a pedagogical framework by which undergraduate students study using innovative and interdisciplinary approaches. In this session, I will focus on CEE’s research with IEP students and recent graduates to understand their experiences in the programme. Findings suggest gender differences in the awareness of the societal impact of engineering, and that communication skills are essential to engineering practice. Finally, I will highlight contributions for future longitudinal research on engineering student learning and career pathways in the UK.

Freedom at Work (December 3, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88822 88822-21658556@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 3, 2021 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

The past year has been by marked the convergence of public health, racial justice, economic and democratic crises. To meet the moment, leaders have sought to heighten aspirations toward racial representation, equity and inclusion across industries. Bold proclamations in support of Black lives, and ambitious platforms to invest in Black livelihoods, have been backed by billions of dollars and coalitions of hundreds of leaders across sectors. As institutions begin to implement these diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, what will they establish as standards for success and indicators of progress? How will organizational leaders and their stakeholders assess whether the racial climate has transformed to reflect greater diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice? During this seminar, I will introduce a framework for pursuing Freedom at Work, grounded in the juxtaposition between the democratic ideals of liberty and justice, and the sociohistorical oppression of enslaved, African-descended Americans and other minoritized racial groups. I invite scholars and practitioners to analyze relative access to various freedoms at work (i.e., expression, actualization, deviation, transformation, reformation), consider how inequity undermines these freedoms, and examine how freedom fighters from racially diverse and occupationally diverse backgrounds can help leaders to embody the aspirations and ideals they hold for diversity, inclusion, equity and justice. This discussion will also explore means for placing guardrails on practices that undermine rather than uphold the liberties of communities that were long-denied access to educational opportunity, career mobility and economic advancement. In this vein, I take up the question of how personal leadership commitments and accountability practices might catalyze change, sustain momentum and advance the equal exercise of freedom at work for members of minoritized racial/ethnic identity groups.

In-Person w/ Idris Robinson: Revolutionary Horizons after the George Floyd Rebellion (December 3, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89387 89387-21662515@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 3, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Mason Hall
Organized By: Comparative Literature

Join us for this in-person conversation with philosopher/ activist Idris Robinson on social movements, resistance, and the George Floyd Uprising on Friday, December 3, 2021 @ 3:30pm in Mason Hall, Room 1449.

In the aftermath of the CHAZ occupation in downtown Seattle, Idris Robinson presented “How It Might Should Be Done”: a public talk intended to survey the horizon of revolutionary potential uncovered by the George Floyd Rebellion during the hot summer of 2020. The revised essay of the same title, published in Ill Will that August, is seen in radical circles as one of the definitive texts of the uprising. In ten putative theses, ranging from identity politics, the current pandemic, to the legacy of black revolt, “How It Might Should” sought to facilitate a more direct and focused discussion regarding the stakes of emancipatory transformation at the very heart of empire. Since the uprising, the crisis has only deepened, presenting new possibilities and dashing others: In this upcoming talk at the University of Michigan, Idris will both reassess and expand upon previous themes, such as a theorization of civil war as stasis, an examination of the abolitionist race-traitor through the lens of a political theology of martyrdom, and the libidinal death-drive suffusing American racial dynamics.

Idris Robinson is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of New Mexico. For over a decade, he has written extensively on revolt and crisis in both European and American contexts. In his properly academic research, he works towards cultivating an open and comparative approach that encompasses both contemporary Continental and Anglo-American philosophy, while remaining informed by insights from various pre-modern traditions. He is currently working on a dissertation on ontological realism, logical morphology, and the role of paradigms in the progression of Wittgenstein’s thought.

Anti-Racism Is Never Not Intersectional (December 9, 2021 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88998 88998-21659587@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 9, 2021 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Research on Women and Gender

Panelists:
-Elizabeth Cole, Faculty Associate Director, National Center for Institutional Diversity; Professor of Women's and Gender Studies, Psychology, and Afroamerican and African Studies
-Elizabeth González, Education & Training Program Manager, Spectrum Center
-SaraEllen Strongman, Assistant Professor, Afroamerican and African Studies
-Ruby C. Tapia, Chair, Department of Women's and Gender Studies; Associate Professor, English Language & Literature and Women's and Gender Studies

Moderator: Anna Kirkland, Director, Institute for Research on Women and Gender; Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, Women's and Gender Studies; Political Science, Sociology, and Health Management & Policy (by courtesy)

The racial reckoning during 2020 sparked renewed energy to address pervasive structural racism and the resulting disparate inequities and injustices impacting minoritized communities and communities of color in the US. Institutions of higher education across the nation have expressed commitments to address racism in their organizations. Similarly, many institutions across the country have sought to focus new efforts to end harassment based on sex, sexuality, and gender, yet these efforts have often operated separately from the fight to address systemic racism.

At the College of Literature, Science & the Arts (LSA) at the University of Michigan, working groups have produced both an LSA Task Force on Anti-Racism and Racial Equality report and a Preventing Sexual Harassment report in recent months. Additionally, the university commissioned reports on high-profile cases of sexual misconduct (Philbert and Anderson) and created campus initiatives in response to national conversations around anti-racism.

This expert panel will help us to understand how systems of racism and sexism support and maintain each other, discuss recent efforts to grapple with these issues at Michigan, frame them within a broader theoretical and political context and then provide suggestions on how to move from intention to action and how to enact structural change that is transformational and sustainable.

Cosponsored by: The Institute for Research on Women and Gender, the Initiative on Gender Based Violence and Sexual Harassment at IRWG, the Women’s & Gender Studies Department, and the National Center for Institutional Diversity’s Anti-Racism Collaborative

This webinar will be recorded. Please register to receive the Zoom recording.

Organized By: Digital Studies Institute

A Digital Studies Institute panel discussion, co-presented by the University of Michigan and the Consulate General of Canada

The logic of so-called "technological evolution" categorizes innovations into binaries of Old/Defunct and New/Good, without a fluid understanding of time, influence, or use. Likewise, settler cultural studies compartmentalize indigenous peoples and practices as outside of the present time and space. This panel discussion taps into growing movements around the discussion of indigenous technologies and indigenous futures (itself a nod to Afrofuturism), taking a more expansive view of the holistic relationship between people and technologies. The panelists are coders, artists, and theorists who investigate not only the history but also the present and future of indigenous technologies, as well as the language and methodologies used to study them.

Presenters include:

- Amelia Winger-Bearskin, Banks Preeminence Chair and Associate Professor of Artificial Intelligence and the Arts, University of Florida, Digital Worlds Institute;
- Ron Eglash, Professor of Information, School of Information and Professor of Art and Design, Penny W Stamps School of Art and Design, University of Michigan;
- Jason Edward Lewis, University Research Chair in Computational Media and the Indigenous Future Imaginary at Concordia University;

Moderated by DSI Executive Director Marisa Olson, with opening remarks from the Consulate General of Canada.

This session will focus on helping students shift the sometimes rigid expectations and pressures they put on themselves. How can students expand their capacity for self-compassion in our “new normal”? What does goal-setting look like when we expand our idea of success to include potential failures or values-based intentions?

Epistemic Exclusion: Scholarly Devaluation that is a Barrier to Faculty Diversification (December 10, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89682 89682-21664877@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 10, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Engineering

Epistemic exclusion refers to the scholarly devaluation of faculty of color (and other faculty from marginalized groups), that deems their research as illegitimate, lacking value and outside of disciplinary norms.

It occurs because of biases built into seemingly neutral evaluation standards that govern faculty hiring, annual review and other evaluation processes. As such, it operates as a barrier to the recruitment, retention, and advancement of faculty of color.

U-M LSA professor Isis Settles will describe the nature of epistemic exclusion, the disciplinary and identity-based (e.g., related to a person’s gender or race) biases that underlie it and suggest strategies for change.

Black Women in Sports Leadership: Navigating Workplace Blackness (December 10, 2021 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89570 89570-21664219@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 10, 2021 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Identity is a critical attribute of effective leadership. Moreover, interactions in the workplace (be they formal or informal) shape employees’ identities, as they reveal the extent to which identities are accepted or contested (Sanchez-Hucles & Davis, 2010). Sport organizational cultures, aptly characterized as inequality regimes (Acker, 2006) established at the axes of race and gender (and other ascriptions), create habitus (Bourdieu, 1984) of inclusion and exclusion that uniquely impact the identity and the leadership opportunities and experiences of Black women employed therein. The climate of many sport organizational cultures often discourages Black women from ‘bringing’ their authentic Blackness into the workplace, requiring them to engage in a number social-psychological strategies to insulate and protect the essence of their ‘self’ at work. This presentation is an excerpt of a larger project on Black women in sport leadership (Simpkins & Armstrong, In Progress). It will discuss race as aesthetic labor (Williams & Connell, 2010), and it will illustrate the manner in which Black women sport leaders navigate their Blackness in the workplace as: (a) personal agency, and (b) embodied racial identity. It will conclude by discussing the need for inclusive organizational cultures and workplaces free of anti-Black racism where Black women may thrive in the fullness of their Blackness as leaders.

Changemakers | A Collectively Devised Play about the Early History of the University of Michigan School of Social Work (December 10, 2021 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89732 89732-21665268@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 10, 2021 7:30pm
Location: School of Social Work Building
Organized By: School of Social Work

As racial tensions rise on and off campus, three School of Social Work students overcome their differences as the School rallies itself for change in the face of the Great Depression.

This play, commissioned for the University of Michigan, School of Social Work Centennial (1921-2021), in collaboration with the Residential College Drama Program, focuses on the early history of the School and on the students and faculty who worked to create meaningful change in the world. This early period begins at the end of a global Spanish Flu pandemic and World War I and ends during the height of the Great Depression. This period saw the first undergraduate social work curriculum launched on the Ann Arbor campus and ends as the program moves to Detroit where the social work program remained until 1950.

Among the major themes is the struggle for racial justice, including challenging segregation on the University of Michigan campus. Early social work students were involved in an inter-racial alliance group, the Negro-Caucasian Club, that started in 1925 and the efforts of those students are depicted in the play.

This production is Directed by Aria Davis. Produced by Rich Tolman (SSW) and Kate Mendeloff (RC Drama). The cast includes faculty and students from the School of Social Work community.

CANCELED: Omission as the Modern Form of Bias Against Indigenous People (December 13, 2021 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89710 89710-21665073@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 13, 2021 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Psychology

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been canceled and will be rescheduled for a later date. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

In the U.S. cultural imagination, Indigenous Peoples loom large in romanticized and stereotyped ways, yet contemporary Indigenous Peoples are largely omitted from the public conscience. In K-12 education, for example, 87% of references to Indigenous Americans portray them in a pre-1900’s context. In mainstream media, less than .5% of representations are of contemporary Indigenous Peoples. Utilizing both experimental and national survey studies, I will demonstrate that prevalent representations of Indigenous Peoples (or lack thereof) shape how people think, feel, and subsequently act towards Indigenous Peoples, as well as how Indigenous Peoples feel about themselves and act to make change in society. Specifically, I will first show that recognizing Indigenous omission shapes discrimination and both implicit and explicit bias towards Indigenous Peoples, including attitudes about the use of redface, and apathy towards the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls epidemic. I will then show how sensitivity to Indigenous omission has adverse psychological consequences for Indigenous Peoples’ wellbeing, but also serves to galvanize efforts to change the status quo through civic engagement. By making visible the pernicious consequences of omission and highlighting Indigenous agency and resistance to omission, we illuminate a path towards creating a more equitable future for Indigenous Peoples.
