Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. Toward An Alternative Hispanism: Translation and the Worlding of Hispanofilipino Literature (November 6, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68795 68795-17153398@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 6, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Comparative Literature

The Philippines is an underrepresented area in the study of Global Hispanism. Despite the awareness about the links between this Southeast Asian archipelago and regions readily identified as Hispanic, attempts to ‘world’ Filipino Hispanism are sparse, if not invisible. What happens instead is a reiteration of a historical narrative that presents Spain as a backward imperial power in opposition to the liberating colonial project of the US, which ruled the archipelago from 1898. This plays out in Hispanofilipino literature. This presentation will reflect on the question of worlding in Hispanofilipino literature and will examine translation as an alternative tool for engaging with the allures and discontents of a literature produced under the colonial condition and circulated in an intensely multilingual space.

Come for the Food, Stay for the People: Using Culinary Tours to Promote Cross-Cultural Communication & Sustainable Tourism (March 25, 2020 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/73068 73068-18138326@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 25, 2020 5:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

Culinary travel has been a steadily growing tourism sector over the last decade. Tourists are increasingly traveling for food, letting where they eat determine how and where they travel. As a result, for cities and countries looking to promote themselves, culinary tourism has become an essential and powerful branding element. But can this kind of travel be about more than simply food?

This session will explore how Culinary Backstreets, a leading provider of food tours that operates in a dozen different cities around the world, uses food-oriented travel to promote cross-cultural communication and sustainable tourism – and, ultimately, more impactful experiences.

Yigal Schleifer is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Culinary Backstreets. Created in 2012, Culinary Backstreets covers the local and traditional food scene and offers immersive small group culinary walks in a dozen cities around the world. Between 2002 and 2010, Yigal was based in Istanbul, where he worked as a correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor and the German Press Agency (dpa).

Going Viral: Epidemics and Media in the Age of Print (June 30, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/74917 74917-19073311@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, June 30, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies

The turn of the sixteenth century was a time when the rapid expansion of print media forged communities of readers eager to learn about the epidemics of the day, such as the plague, syphilis, and the English Sweating Sickness. Not unlike today, anxieties about the rapid spread of diseases coincided with anxieties about the rapid spread of harmful information.

Christopher Hutchinson (University of Mississippi) and Helmut Puff (University of Michigan) will engage in a one hour conversation about the nexus of epidemics and media (c. 1500).

This remote event is presented in webinar format via Zoom. Please register in advance here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_54AFMMcwRAK_wbuCSZs32Q

Organized By: William Davidson Institute

Healthcare delivery in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is influenced by many factors, such as provider expertise, patient trust, access, financing, policies and evolving technology. Improving how healthcare is delivered in LMICs requires a strong understanding of the various disciplinary approaches to care and how they can vary between cultures. With leading faculty from the U-M Medical School, the School of Nursing, College of Pharmacy and School of Public Health, this panel will explore: *“A Cross-Disciplinary Perspective on Healthcare in Low- and Middle-Income Countries.”*

This virtual public session will also serve as the opening discussion of a course with the same name (BA620) offered in the second half of the Fall semester.

For questions about the roundtable discussion or the course, please contact Ekta Jhaveri at ekta@umich.edu

Panelists include:
Vicki Ellingrod, College of Pharmacy
Joe Kolars, U-M Medical School
Jody Lori, School of Nursing
Abram L. Wagner, School of Public Health

Moderator: Paul Clyde, WDI & Michigan Ross
